1. How far along are you? EDD? 34 weeks; RCS 5/8 2. How big is baby? OB said today she’s not that big; not surprised as DD was 6 lb 2 oz 3. Team: pink 4. Symptoms: both hips are so sore now, I have a major waddle but it’s really a double-limp! Also waking a lot at night. 5. What/when is your next appointment? Today, quick check up at OB, got an anti-D shot and had my pre-admission interview for my RCS 6. Questions / concerns / rants: really wanting to start getting the nursery set up, but I’m waiting on furniture so I’m trying to just unpack all of DD’s stuff and go through what I have to see any gaps. 7. GTKY: where was your favourite travel destination? DH and I did a driving holiday through northern Italy. A few cities we stopped at, I had no idea what to expect. Going in with average expectations, I fell in love with Siena and Florence. Such fun being unplanned and soaking up the food, wine and culture. 8. Show us that bump! POOF Hanging out with my dog catching up on Homeland.

1. How far along are you? EDD? 35+4; 27 days until RSC. 2. How big is baby? According to the ultrasound tech from Monday’s BPP, she’s super chunky. She kept talking about her chubby feet/toes. 3. Team Pink 4. Symptoms My hips/previous section scar areas are sore a lot. I’m still nauseous & vomiting a lot. & I swell if I walk around/am on my feet a lot. 5. What/when is your next appointment? I had an NST on Monday that turned into 2+ hours of extra monitoring in L&D again. I have another NST tomorrow as well. 6. Questions / concerns / rants I’m working on all the baby laundry today since we finally finished A’s dresser last week. So my plan is to go down & start a load, come up & move A’s clothes in, switch laundry around, fold the two hampers that are currently in my room, put the baby’s first load away, etc. I want to have all our bags packed for my NSTs & in the back of my vehicle from here on out because I have a feeling that at some point, my extra monitoring is going to turn into an early delivery. 7. GTKY: where was your favourite travel destination? We really loved Seattle when we went. It’s really the only place we’ve gone that we talk about wanting to go back to. 8. An NST bump.

1. How far along are you? EDD? 35 weeks, May 6th. 2. How big is baby? Huge. 3. Team: Blue. 4. Symptoms: N/V, heart burn, only sleeping 2-3 hours a night, just uncomfortable in general. So much back pain still, but I get temp relief thanks to an upsie belly brace, really tight sports bras, yoga, heating pad, and massage things. 5. What/when is your next appointment? Today, cervical check. 6. Questions / concerns / rants: We brought DS to Build-a-Bear and he made a stuffed animal for baby brother (and himself lol). I started packing my hospital bag. I definitely don't want baby to be born early, but I'm so ready to be done. 7. GTKY: where was your favourite travel destination? The beach.

1. How far along are you? EDD? 33+some RCS 5/16
2. How big is baby? junior tennis racket/loaf of bread
3. Team: pink
4. Symptoms: sore hips, feet swelling, up 3x+/night, currently a muscle I pulled last time hurts a lot if I stand because I was walking too fast this morning
5. What/when is your next appointment? next Friday regular OB check
6. Questions / concerns / rants: I've washed and folded the NB/0-3 month stuff I have, just need to put it away; my sprinkle is on Sunday!; Talking to another teacher yesterday who had an RCS scheduled but went 2 weeks early has made me feel a bit more like I should get myself together for leave; I've turned in my leave slips for this school year.
7. GTKY: where was your favourite travel destination? H and I travel well together with long driving trips. We honeymooned in Lake Tahoe and just drove to random places. It was beautiful and not busy at all.

1. How far along are you? EDD? 36 weeks tomorrow. RCS 4/26.... 3 weeks from tomorrow!!! Cue freak out 2. How big is baby? Not sure - I plan on asking tomorrow at my appt if she has any idea how big she is. 3. Team pink 4. Symptoms: general discomfort, reflux is not as bad as it was but still lingering, lots of peeing, ribs hurt, etc 5. What/when is your next appointment? Tomorrow 6. Questions / concerns / rants: I feel like I’ve gotten a lot done for the arrival but at the same time I feel like I have so much more to do. I’m getting nervous that she may come early. No reason or inclination why but just a gut feeling. I had a Cs with DS at 39 weeks due to being breech but I had no labor signs. So just a weird feeling. 7. GTKY: where was your favourite travel destination? We haven’t traveled a ton but we went on a cruise a few years ago and one of our stops was St.Thomas in USVI and we loved it. We plan on going back but trying a different island next time. 8. Show us that bump!

1. How far along are you? EDD? 31 weeks 2. How big is baby? Brie en brioche (yum!) 3. Team Pink 💓 4. Symptoms Heartburn, bad sciatica, bladder the size of a blueberry, elevated blood pressure but I feel rather good. 5. What/when is your next appointment? Saw my nephrologist this morning, my kidneys are doing fine which is a relief, so the elevated blood pressure is either due to work, is pregnancy induced in general or an early sign of pre-e again. I go part time at work in 10 days so until then I need to monitor it every night. FX is goes down and they don’t start me on meds. 6. Questions / concerns / rants We finished the nursery this week-end so I feel better, it was stressing me out. Now I can go through all the clothes, and clean/organize them on my own terms. 7. GTKY: where was your favourite travel destination? South Africa, hands down. Loved the country and the people and it was a very humbling trip. 8. Show us that bump! 31 weeks with a cute photobomb

1. How far along are you? EDD? 35w5d, 5/4 (one month to go!) 2. How big is baby? 6ish lbs according to U/S 3. Team Blue (although I forgot to ask the tech to confirm today) 4. Symptoms Heartburn/nausea, back, hip and pelvic pain, some constipation, insomnia 5. What/when is your next appointment? 37 week appt next Wed 6. Questions / concerns / rants Struggling with V's sleep again following his adenoidectomy last week. He's been waking a lot during the night and sleeping on top of me when I bring him into my bed. Getting anxious about trying to balance that with newborn night feedings (he freaks out if H tries to help, so it'll be a lot of sleepless and cranky nights initially I think). 7. GTKY: where was your favourite travel destination? H and I did a 5 week European trip to 13 countries for our honeymoon; Italy was our favorite country we visited (Switzerland was also a favorite, so beautiful), and we took a return trip with V two summers ago. We also really loved Prague, and would love to go back someday. 8. Show us that bump! [\spoiler]

tinyjoys when we were leaving my appt today, another woman who appeared to be at the end of her pregnancy was telling her daughter and husband that they were sending her to the hospital to deliver. It doesn't hurt to be prepared!

budders, I’ve been sent to l&d twice now for “failing” NSTs. And I agree. I’d rather be prepared & have to have H grab them from my car when he meets me there.

I have my bag packed and need to put it in my car. I know that if I asked H to find random things for me like nursing camis and whatnot that I would never, ever have them until I got home after delivery.

1. How far along are you? EDD? 30.5w
2. How big is baby? ~3lbs by u/s
3. Team: Green
4. Symptoms: Just sick. No pregnancy complaints other than being super impatient to have my baby just because I want to meet him/her.
5. What/when is your next appointment? Regular OB on Friday.
6. Questions / concerns / rants: Baby was not measuring below the 10% today! Hope the trend continues for the next growth ultrasound! But we're still doing extra monitoring because of the margin of error for U/S measurements. But as of today, everything looked good!
7. GTKY: where was your favourite travel destination? I loved our honeymoon in Ireland! And I loved Disney World when I went with my family a couple times - I'm hoping to go next fall with our kids for the first time. The only one we regularly go on is to the beach in Florida when we get invited down with my in laws. We only manage to go every other year or so since we're always having/just had a baby. This will be an off year, boo!

Wednesday the 11th 6. Questions / concerns / rants: I had an appointment yesterday and they ended up doing a cervical check because I’ve had a lot of cramping - I’m 1 cm dilated but otherwise seemed good.

Good appointment today, although it was really busy so it took a bit for the doctors to actually get around to seeing me. High risk doctor only wants to see me once more at about 36 weeks. Ute is measuring 28 cm, so right on track. I'll hopefully be making the appointment for my C/S at the next appointment. Oh, and I didn't throw up with the drink lol

Taking these pictures always makes me think I should make more of an effort to make my bed look nice for the day and then I add that to the ever-growing list of stuff I should but don't have the energy to do at the moment or anytime soon. Let's just say it's a good thing I have a robot to vacuum.

2. How big is baby? Foam finger
3. Team pink
4. Symptoms: I’m starting to feel over it. Constantly exhausted, can’t breathe, everything hurts and I’m dying. Really though, this pregnancy is a lot tougher than my first. Maybe it’s because I now have a 3 year old to chase around this time, who knows.
5. What/when is your next appointment? Tuesday, just a regular check up
6. Questions / concerns / rants
Not really.
7. GTKY: where was your favourite travel destination? Florida? Lol. I haven’t really traveled much unfortunately.

1. How far along are you? EDD? 34 weeks, RCS May 10
2. How big is baby? I haven’t checked. Getting an U/S next week though
3. Team Blue
4. Symptoms So many BH! I’ve been checked multiple times but it still feels like they are too frequent (I had 2 in the 30 minute drive from the Dr yesterday). I’m drinking a ton of water but still need more apparently. I’ve also noticed that I get them after walking a short distance (up the stairs, dropping DS off at daycare, etc...) - just when I started to get a little energy back (never got it in 2nd tri) I feel like I need to rest a ton.
5. What/when is your next appointment? Going in every week now.
6. Questions / concerns / rants
- Still need a name - I need to drink a lot more water with my prenatal vitamin at night because I keep on waking up and feeling like it’s stuck in my throat - Trying to load up on sleep while I can but insomnia keeps me up for a few hours MOTN most nights - Like others, I’m worried about early labor especially with the BH - I never thought I’d have a family and childbirth really scared me, but now I can see why people are sad about having their last child. I go back and forth between wanting this kid to be born so that I know that he’s OK and makes it out (I have major anxiety about this) and then loving the feeling of kicks and the peacefulness right now of having him with me but not being in the newborn stage just yet. I’m also trying to really enjoy the closeness that we have as a family of 3 for these last few weeks with DS1. It’s sad, in a weird way, to know that the dynamics will change.
7. GTKY: where was your favourite travel destination?
It’s hard to pick but I think that some of the more serene places stand out like Tibet, Namibia and Laos. I guess I liked the peacefulness and tranquility, lack of constant stimulation from technology and people, and the spiritual side of Buddhism in Laos and Tibet. It feels like a lifetime ago since I traveled and probably another lifetime (if at all) before I go anywhere again lol

1. How far along are you? EDD? 36 weeks today! EDD is 5/4 2. How big is baby? Papaya. I had a growth scan at 32 weeks and she was measuring 3.5 pounds. Doc says I am measuring small (lol, 35 pounds doesn't feel small), but she is measuring right on schedule. 3. Team? PINK 4. Symptoms? Heartburn if I eat right before bed, hip and crotch pain, exhausted. 5. What/when is your next appointment? Next Thursday is my 36 week appointment where they do the GBS test. Then I'm on to weekly appointments!! 6. Questions / concerns / rants? Life has been so stressful, I don't feel anywhere near ready for this baby (even though physically, I am DONE). H is having some health issues so I am just hoping they resolve some soon, it's been ongoing for the last couple of months. 7. GTKY: where was your favourite travel destination? The beach. Or anywhere I can lie near water and drink. 8. Show us that bump! "]

kiri I feel like I have constant BH. I told my Dr about it and she said as long as they aren’t painful like a real contraction it’s fine. I have them at least every 20 minutes it seems. As far as the pill feeling stuck in your throat, it could just be reflux. That’s my main symptom of my reflux - feeling like a lump in my throat

As far as the pill feeling stuck in your throat, it could just be reflux. That’s my main symptom of my reflux - feeling like a lump in my throat Thanks! This is reassuring. They told me that as long as it’s not 6 BH in an hour but I swear that I feel close to that if I’m working at my desk. And then I’ll randomly have cramping or pressure tat uncomfortable low down but it could be IBS. The reflux is possible. My organs don’t feel as squished as last time though. I’ve been doing better if I drink 12 ounces with the pill but then I do it right before bed and wake up to pee 2 hours later lol. But I guess between late dinner, organs pushed around, reflux must be causing it!

1. How far along are you? EDD? 36 weeks, 5/3 2. How big is baby? Probably close to six pounds. Growth ultrasound on Monday. 3. Team. Pink 4. Symptoms. Si joint and pelvic pain. I’m just uncomfortable and ready to be done. Oh, and my kid and H have the flu. I didn’t but had to take Tamiflu as a precaution. That was not fun. Here’s hoping it works. 5. What/when is your next appointment? Growth ultrasound and weekly checkup on Monday. If baby girl is still breech I will have my c section on 4/27 6. Questions / concerns / rants I am in deep denial about how much time I have left before baby. I have nothing packed. Car seats are not installed. Crib is full of junk and bottles need washed. No diapers in the house. And there is NO nesting energy in sight... 7. GTKY: where was your favourite travel destination? Ireland was awesome. So was Costa Rica.
