1. How far are you now? 26+4 (EDD 5/5) 2. How big is baby? A butternut squash. 3. Team? Pink. 4. Symptoms: n/v; super sore hips (which is understandable now that I know her position; see below!); heartburn like crazy; general forgetfulness; exhaustion, but not sure if it's pregnancy or life related: the big girl bed transition isn't going all that well. 5. What and when is your next appointment? I had one this morning with the new OB in my practice. I really like her, but I'm not a fan of change. Previously, my OB was the single provider. Anyway, we chatted & then she did a good 10 minute ultrasound. Girlfriend is laying across my hips: head on/at my left, tush towards my right, feet straight up. I see the MFM three weeks from today and then my last 4 week OB appointment before I start bi-weekly appointments. 6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? None that I can think of. 7. GTKY: I read Confessions of a Domestic Failure last week and really enjoyed it. I can't think of anything else to recommend, though. 8. not the best, but it’s what I have. Baby sister was kicking her in the head the whole time. Poor big sister.

1. How far are you now? 18w4d 2. How big is baby? Sweet potato 3. Team? Finding out 4. Symptoms: Sore hips, insomnia, easily irritated, starting a bit of a waddle 5. What and when is your next appointment? 02/12 for a/s! 6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? My anxiety is starting to go a little haywire again I know babe was okay last week, but sometimes my mind gets going and I almost convince myself that the movement I'm feeling is due to something else. 7. GTKY: What's the last book you read for pleasure? Would you recommend it? What other books would you suggest? Oh my goodness yes!! Go read Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. Seriously. I read it through 3 times in a row the first time and I NEVER read anything over like that. I got a copy for my work mom for Christmas - it's now making the rounds and no one is able to put it down.

Speedy I hear you in the anxiety. It was really bad until the A/S a few weeks ago but it’s creeping up again. Hope that you can get to your A/S quickly and that it gives you some relief. I talked to someone about the anxiety and they suggested meditation and an app like Calm but I’ve been too stressed to take the time to do it.

1. How far are you now? Almost 25 weeks
2. How big is baby? Apparently a cantaloupe
3. Team? Blue
4. Symptoms: constipation, chocolate cravings..my hips are also really hurting from sleeping on my side.
5. What and when is your next appointment? 2 more weeks (will also do the glucose test)
6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? I have nothing to wear despite having my past maternity clothes. All the pants are giving me too much pressure. Also having anxiety come back. My daycare doesn’t have spots until December and DS starts part time preK (and needs after school care) so I’m looking for an au pair...it’s getting to be really time consuming and the good au pairs get snatched up quickly so getting a bit down about the process and feeling like I won’t find anyone good. Can’t bend over to tie my sneakers anymore.
7. GTKY: What's the last book you read for pleasure? Would you recommend it? What other books would you suggest? I think a few of the Outlander books and Big Little Lies (and others from the same author).

numbears Hysterical - exactly that! To add to the ungracefulness, I just kind of rolled/fell off my bed and on to the floor. It’s going to be a long third trimester.

1. 24+2 2. Baby is as big as an Atlantic puffin 3. Boy! 4. Lots of BH. 5. 3 weeks for montlhy and GTT 6. Was in L&D Tuesday night for frequent contractions/BH. Had a negative fFN and they gave me 2 liters of fluid. Having deja vu from my first pregnancy. They told me I had an overactive uterus and looks like that hasn’t changed. Yay. 7. I haven’t read an entire book in a very long time. I am currently reading A Man Called Ove but very slowly. Like I started it months ago.

1. How far are you now? 23w 2. How big is baby? Chinchilla 3. Team? Pink 4. Symptoms: Hip pain, nausea if I forget my meds, shitty sleep, heartburn. 5. What and when is your next appointment? Normal MW visit next Tuesday. 6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? My chiropractor had to reschedule this week because she was sick so that was a bummer. My hips are so bad. But I’ll go next Wednesday. In other news, my sitter (whose DD is right around the same age as my DD and who I consider a friend) is pregnant! She told me yesterday. I’m so excited for her. 7. GTKY: What's the last book you read for pleasure? Would you recommend it? What other books would you suggest? I read Lab Girl before the holidays. I highly recommend it. 8. Show off your bump! 23w last time on the left vs this time. Just a little bigger, haha.

1. How far are you now? 24+3 (EDD May 20) 2. How big is baby? GI Joe 3. Team? Pink (reconfirmed at this week's A/S) 4. Symptoms: nausea/dry heaving but it seems better this week?, carpal tunnel, stuffy nose, getting less comfortable to bend over 5. What and when is your next appointment? tomorrow regular OB app. 6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? I am just so, so relieved that everything was normal at the scan this week. She is now measuring 5 days ahead so I guess I'm getting another giant baby; her brother was 9lbs 1oz and over 22" when he was born. 7. GTKY: What's the last book you read for pleasure? Would you recommend it? What other books would you suggest? OH! I've been reeeading! I started the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas two/three weeks ago and am on the 3rd book already so I obviously recommend that one. I just finished listening to the 5th book in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series and it was kind of meh. I was able to predict things which I don't like. I started listening to Mistborne by Brandon Sanderson yesterday and like it so far. Speedy, Redeeming Love is a great book! I should reread that sometime soon. 8. Show off your bump! I'll upload a US pic later.

1. How far are you now? 21.5w
2. How big is baby? Carrot
3. Team? Green
4. Symptoms: mostly just uncomfortable
5. What and when is your next appointment? ~1 week for U/S
6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? We have to set up J's new room this weekend because he has escaped his crib with a thump twice this week. It will be a lot of work as it needs blinds, curtains, a bed, and bookcase. Naps and night times will not be pleasant for a while after we transition and work on self control.
7. GTKY: What's the last book you read for pleasure? Would you recommend it? What other books would you suggest? I am reading gardening books right now. B wants to "grow vegetable soup" like in one of his books. I love Garth Nix's Abhorsen series as well as Diane Duane's wizard books.
