[jessila]

1. How far are you now/EDD? 25+3/May 20


2. How big is baby? Baseball glove


3. Team? Pink


4. Symptoms: I have no idea. I had an awful stomach bug over the weekend that gave me viral labrynthitis (swollen inner ear) which makes me dizzy, nauseous, and gives me vertigo. Rolling over at night was getting harder but now results in the world exploding.


5. What and when is your next appointment? March 2 for 28 week appt and GTT


6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? I just want to feel normal again. I can't do any house work which is nice but also makes me feel useless. Nothing that involves bending over or turning my head fast. I can't drink except with a straw because the motion of tipping my head back is the worst aggravator. The prescription that should help is at the pharmacy waiting for H to pick it up since driving isn't an option right now since head turning doesn't work. I really hope it works.


7. GTKY: Are you planning any kind of babymoon/final trip before the baby comes? If so, where to and what do you plan to do? Have you done one in the past? H and I were talking about just getting away for one night sometime in March. I want to go to a hotel, order room service, take a long bath (so soaker tub is necessary), take a unisom and sleep without disruption. We didn't take one before O was born.

8. Show off your bump! The tech at my appt last week did some 4D images for fun so beware of alien looking baby. 24+2 gestation so no chubby baby fat yet.

@jesilla I’m so sorry you have an inner ear issue. I had that in my last year of university and it was so debilitating. It manifested into migraines (which I already had but they were more like a headache when I was younger) as I got older so now I’m on constant drugs and physio to stop the spinning sensation. I hope yours clears up super fast!

[tinyjoys]

1. How far are you now/EDD?
27+4; 5/5

Nothing I can think of.

7. GTKY: Are you planning any kind of babymoon/final trip before the baby comes? If so, where to and what do you plan to do? Have you done one in the past?
I don't think so. At this point, nothing is planned and we have a lot we need/want to accomplish at home prior to baby getting here and I'm inching towards not being comfortable traveling too far from home as well. We may try to sneak away instead for my birthday at the end of June or our anniversary in September, but nothing is remotely set in stone.

Didn’t have one with DD. Going to a wedding in Hobart, Tas (bottom triangle shaped island off Australia) at the end of March. Leaving DD here. First trip away from her. Exciting but a bit scary.

No trip, all of our spare money is earmarked for the summer and paying for two kids.
H and I didn’t take an intentional babymoon with V, but we took a trip on our spring break (about 2 months before he was born), which we always did pre-kids.

We didn’t do one with my son so we are doing one this time. We are going to Destin, Florida in early March for a long weekend. We are driving though, 9-10 hour drive!!! Dreading that...I’ll be like 31 weeks.

2. How big is baby? Atlantic puffin


3. Team? Pink


4. Symptoms: hip pain, general grumpiness, heartburn


5. What and when is your next appointment? 3/7 for MW visit and glucose test


6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? I feel like I’m drowning a little in all the uncertainty here. Like not knowing what state this baby will be born in. And I’m afraid I won’t get to have a doula because they’ll all be booked. Plus everyone is asking me all the time how setting up a new room/redoing the nursery is going, if I’ve found a preschool for DD, where she’s going to be when I have this baby. I just want to cry.


7. GTKY: Are you planning any kind of babymoon/final trip before the baby comes? If so, where to and what do you plan to do? Have you done one in the past?

Supposedly we’re still going somewhere at the end of next month when my mom is on her spring break and they can come watch DD. We have airline miles we need to use too. I’m leaning toward Budapest but we’ll see.

5. What and when is your next appointment? tomorrow! my 24 week appointment that was supposed to be this past Monday got moved to due to Dr. needing to be in surgery


6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? What is your OB's guidelines on how far along you can travel? I plan to ask during my appointment tomorrow, but we have a lot of travel coming up and there is a work training I'd like to go to the week of April 10th.


7. GTKY: Are you planning any kind of babymoon/final trip before the baby comes? If so, where to and what do you plan to do? Have you done one in the past? Yes, here's what my travel docket looks like over the next ~2 months: next weekend I'm flying to the Midwest from the west coast for the first of my baby showers for a long weekend. The following weekend we are heading down to our vacation condo in AZ. I'll be home for a weekend, then I'm going on a final girls trip with a good friend to Charleston for a long weekend. Home for a weekend, then H and I are doing a babymoon weekend in Lake Louise. Finally, if approved by the doc, I'd like to do one final weekend in our vacation condo in AZ followed by a 3day training in LA. I will be 34 weeks the day I fly home for good.

3. Team? green


4. Symptoms: having to pee all the time.... I swear this child moves and all of a sudden I have to go immediately!


5. What and when is your next appointment? went last week to meet my new OB since we moved cross country and she decided to take a quick peek on the ultrasound which was unexpected... baby moved head down which was nice to hear. also did my GTT last week remotely through my old OB and they called to say I passed so that was a relief... next appt. 2/23


6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? I would love to get rid of wubbanubs and potty train my DD before baby comes... can't believe I only have 13 weeks left!!


7. GTKY: Are you planning any kind of babymoon/final trip before the baby comes? If so, where to and what do you plan to do? Have you done one in the past? We didn't really do anything specific the first time around except a vacation with my family to Yellowstone around 29 weeks, but that wasn't really a babymoon. No plans this time as i'm currently on the west coast and DH is in the Midwest selling our house - I would just be happy to have him back here and possibly in a new home by the time baby comes!!

7. GTKY: Are you planning any kind of babymoon/final trip before the baby comes? If so, where to and what do you plan to do? Have you done one in the past? We didn't do one last time. And we may just do an overnight in a hotel in March when we have tickets to Chicago at our local theater, if we can get my parents to babysit DD.

Have you done one in the past? Possibly going on a beach trip to the Gulf Coast with just DH. We go a couple times a year, but might just do it once this year. We'll see. We still have a lot of stuff to buy. Last time around, the only thing we did was moved around 32 weeks.
