1. How far are you now/EDD?
29+4, 5/5

2. How big is baby?
She’s estimated at just shy of 3lbs as of this morning. I think I saw an acorn squash in a weekly email on Saturday.

3. Team:
PINK

4. Symptoms:
all of them.

5. What and when is your next appointment?
I had an MFM appointment this morning & I see the OB next Wednesday.

6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants?
I had my MFM appointment this morning. She’s looking great & head down, a little over average on weight but nothing super crazy. My uterus is starting to thin & the MFM is going to push for a 37 week delivery, which would put me at an April 17th RCS day *breathes into paper bag* that seems SO close! I’m done being pregnant/uncomfortable, but not ready, if that makes sense. I did the math & its 55 days away 😳

7. GTKY:
I am dying to sleep on my belly again, even if that’s still many months away between pregnancy, c-section recovery, and then breastfeeding. And a Moscow mule. We’ve had some faux spring weather lately & they’ve sounded so good.

7. GTKY: What things are you looking forward to being able to do after pregnancy?
Hopefully no more reflux!!! And have some beers during the nice weather

Comparison from DS at 30 weeks to baby girl. I’m much smaller at this point this go round, which I’m happy with.

[tinyjoys]

numbears, I forgot about the tattoo! I had an appointment set for about 3 weeks after my BFP for a new one. Guess I have to message him about finally setting the reschedule date.

Just turn over already, kid!

6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? My dad told me today that he's already bought F's 2nd birthday present XD

7. GTKY: What things are you looking forward to being able to do after pregnancy? Eat sushi. I'm thinking I'm probably going to ask H to bring some to me in the hospital room lol. And I enjoy a radler during the nice weather. Today got up to almost 60F here, and I was sitting out on the back porch and wishing I could have a drink, even though I'm not a drinker lol

8. Show off your bump! Have an ultrasound pic instead Here he is with his hands up in his mouth lol. I love that you're able to see his eye and ear in this picture!

Sleeping on my stomach, my hips not waking me, beer, a really good turkey sandwich, margaritas, coffee not giving me heartburn. My BIL sent a link for a brewery for us to visit on vacation and wrote "And Jessila you won't be pregnant so beer for you too!" He knows my heart.

Everything hurts. My right hip in particular is excruciatingly painful. Nausea is also kicking up again, though I think I caught my son’s virus, so it could be related to that.

In two weeks (I can’t believe I’m up to biweekly appts)!

6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants?
At my appt on Tuesday, I learned that my iron is low, but everything looks good otherwise. The doctor seems to think baby will have to come before my due date, which freaks me out from a financial perspective, but H and my mom have reassured me many, many times that we’ll figure it all out. So I’m trying not to stress about it too much.

7. GTKY: What things are you looking forward to being able to do after pregnancy?
Eat raw sushi and drink beer and summer cocktails. Also to be able to bend over and be more comfortable moving in general.
