akwild heartburn is no fun. Even worse that it's making you throw up in the mornings. I remember some of the ladies here saying they had better luck with Prilosec. Maybe you could try that!

When is your due date? How far along are you? 09/17 ; 34 weeks
How big is baby? A basketball hoop
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Blue
Any Upcoming Appointments? Just got home from my 34 week appt
Symptoms: Insomnia, anxiety about ruining my big kid's life...you know, the usual.
Milestones: Dr. said that if I go into labor at this point that we won't stop it. That feels kind of nice even though I know his lungs need to develop a little more.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I haven't gained any weight since my 30 week appointment. He didn't seem worried, I'm a little fluffy anyway. I just hope DS is growing appropriately.

brenna I agree the board seems so slow. It makes me sad! I look forward to Mondays when everyone comes out for the check-in and new randoms 😊But even that's not happening so much today. I've mostly been a ball of complaints this past week, so I haven't wanted to fill the randoms with a boo-hoo party for myself - Ha!

When is your due date? How far along are you? 9/20, 33w4d
How big is baby? Celery / Cauliflower blossom
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Blue
Any Upcoming Appointments? quick 34 week check-up Friday
Symptoms: Fatigue, Braxton Hicks, calf/ankle/foot swelling, back/hip pain, heartburn some nights
Milestones: Nothing really until due date at this point.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I know I mentioned we picked a name, but I'm not sure I ever shared it. We're going with Rory and I while I love it some online searchings now have me worried everyone is going to think he's a girl because of stupid Gilmore Girls. It's a great Irish BOYS name that literally has "king" in the definition. In Europe is basically as masculine as Roger or John, but that does not seem to be the case in the States...

Symptoms: reflux, hip pain,
Milestones: another week
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions: I'm just really trying to make it. Things have been really shitty. I've been staying at my moms, sleeping on a 20 year old trundle bed that I had in 8th grade plus highly allergic to her cats. Things are just rough and I don't know what to do.

It was so nice not having to do all the cleaning before she came. I told him again that that's what I want 🙂 Also we could be induction twins. We are scheduled for the 12th. |

I have a terrible head cold right now that I think I picked up at my appointment last week. It’s weird to have a cold in August.
Still no name, my h is starting to get restless about the whole thing. I just keep reading the lists, waiting to say aha that’s the one!

How big is baby? A butternut squash, savoy cabbage or a cantelope. I have a butternut squash in my kitchen right now - it's quite big...
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Team Green - being team green is fun!
Any Upcoming Appointments? OB this afternoon. I'll be mentioning my mental/emotional state.
Symptoms: The usual aches and pains continue. Hips have started hurting at night and in the morning. Hands/wrists are sometimes feeling stiff in the morning too. Crazy hormonal. Some BHs. Still no linea nigra yet! So strange to have it with one pregnancy and not the next!
Milestones:
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? My injections are sucking right now because it's hard to get hunched over to get enough skin to grab and the places that don't hurt and aren't bruised right now are low on my belly and I can't really see what I'm doing very well. Two more weeks until I switch to Heparin until baby is born - smaller needle, both in length and gauge, and less burning. Yay? But twice a day instead of once. Not yay.

But since I was GBS+ with my last delivery, she told me she'd run antibiotics regardless of the test results. That stinks. I wouldn't even want to bother with the test!! I'd be mad to have to do the antibiotics if I tested negative! I specifically asked my OB about this a while back and they treat each pregnancy independently. I was positive last time and the penicillin sucked. |

Also, my cholistasis test results were negative. Well that seems annoying and unnecessary!! The reason they test so close to due date is because GBS can come and go - I don't understand giving ABX no matter what even if you were to test negative this time. I wouldn't even want to know the results if they were going to do ABX either way because I wouldn't want to know I was negative but still have to get them! That's good the cholistasis was negative! |

Had 34 week appointment today.
Scheduled an ultrasound for Aug 22nd to check on baby boys position. Doctor is pretty sure he’s still breech.
Symptoms:
Hips hurt at night, pelvic/groin pain, nausea and fullness
Milestones:
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?
Doctor thinks baby boy is breech... I keep reminding myself that DS turned breech at 35 weeks and turned himself back at 39 but I can’t help but worry that we may need a csection. Trying to keep myself calm.

How big is baby? butternut squash
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? pink
Any Upcoming Appointments? Next Tuesday
Symptoms:constant need to pee and 3am baby dance parties.
Milestones: Turned in my mat leave forms-getting beyond real as far as work goes
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I'm having to take prescription iron right now due to anemia and knowing we will be having a c-section. I'm hopeful it does the trick because my previous surgery almost lead to a blood transfusion and I wasn't even anemic prior to going in to that delivery. Other than that things are going pretty well. I'm often too exhausted after work to accomplish much so my house is a mess and I'm about to the point that I don't care. H is helpful, but there is a huge difference in his definition of clean and mine.

teambrink +1 house is a mess here too! See: pretty much every thread recently - Haha! I've been complaining about this a lot 😕 And MH is the same. He'll "clean the kitchen", but then I come in there and have to spend 5-10 more minutes finishing all the things he apparently didn't notice. Like, wiping down the counter? You'd think that would be an obvious part of cleaning the kitchen, no?! Drives me nuts!

tbirdlove,the forgetfulness of cleaning the counters is the worst! I've just come to realize that it comes with the territory with him. I don't complain about it, I just say thank you and finish the job. H also does the dishes, but doesn't clean/rinse out the sink so food particles are still sitting there. I just don't get it.
