When is your due date? How far along are you? 10/30, 30 weeks today
How big is baby? Cantaloupe or half a cheesecake. Cheesecake sounds good right now.
Team Girl / Boy / Green? Boy
Any Upcoming Appointments? Aug 30 midwife appt.
Symptoms? Peeing all.the.time. And some lovely pressure down below because this kid likes to try and burrow his way out. I literally have to lift my belly up to get him out of there. And some pretty nasty RLP, especially when moving around at night or standing up too quickly. Also my feet are starting to hit the stage where they swell and stay swollen till the end. Joy.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?
GTKY: What is your dream job? I love animals and I wanted to be a primate researcher when I was in college and dreamed of going into the jungle and spending months at a time following apes around and taking data. Second place to that would be a zookeeper or zoo educator because zoos are my happy place.

When is your due date? How far along are you? December 12; 23+6
How big is baby? Ear of corn or a Chinchilla
Team Girl / Boy / Green? Boooooooy.
Any Upcoming Appointments? Boring OB appointment next week.
Symptoms? RLP when walking around a lot. My poor belly is so sore in spots. My back is also on fire. I miss yoga. I haven’t gone to class because it’s not prenatal and because of placenta previa. Really need to get some simple stretching done at home.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? DD is slowly grasping the concept of her little brother. I’ll tell her when he’s awake and kicking and she’ll say, “No, he’s sleeping!” Haha. Alrighty then.
GTKY: What is your dream job? I’ve always wanted to work with animals, but I’m super emotional and would probably die a little inside every time I had to deal with abuse, euthanization, abandonment, etc. But it’d be cool to run a senior cat sanctuary or something. I would be down to do the cat version of the senior dog sanctuary in Tennessee. Bring me your kitties!

When is your due date? How far along are you? December 5th - RCS scheduled for November 28th! Shit is getting reaaaaal. 25 weeks. How big is baby? Cauliflower Team Girl / Boy / Green? Boy <3 Any Upcoming Appointments? I have to get the rhogam shot next month as well as the GD screening - this will coincide with my regular OB check. Nada until then. Symptoms? SO much peeing. I tire out so easily these days but I am really trying to keep up with my 3 YO because he is so much fun right now. I don't want to miss out on stuff. Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I am feeling like I am in a good place in regards to having a 2nd baby. I was on Lexapro for a while after having Nick (PPD) and stopped taking it shortly after I got pregnant. I was very worried at how I would react sans medication - and it's been really smooth. I anticipate lots of nerves as it gets closer but I am pleasantly surprised with how I have handled it so far. It's also a comfort to know that if I am struggling again, there is a solution and all I have to do is call my doctor. GTKY: What is your dream job? I love decorating. Like I just want to go in people's homes, have them give me a budget and a theme, and let me decorate it. We just moved and while I HATED moving, it gave me the opportunity to do my dream bedroom on a budget. Our bedroom now is a little bigger than my old one and I have enough room for a sitting area. I'll post a pic in a minute from mobile of the sitting area. I am so happy with it. ETA pic, pdq  |

A cantaloupe seems larger overall than half of a cheesecake. 🤔 idk where they come up with this stuff lol. Yeah it seems like they sometimes go by length, sometimes by weight, sometimes by size dimensions, sometimes they are grasping at straws. I remember when I was on TB that at one point it went from like Cantaloupe to Cucumber and it made no sense. It's a Cheescake Factory cheesecake specifically, and they are rather large, probably it's going by weight, since they weight around 5-6 pounds, so 2.5-3lbs would be about right. The animal comparisons are probably the most accurate, which means I currently have a platypus. |

When is your due date? How far along are you? 12/7, 24+4
How big is baby? Puffin
Team Girl / Boy / Green? Boy
Any Upcoming Appointments? GD screening next week nothing else until September
Symptoms? Honestly I’m just really bitchy. I could complain about everything and anything as it seems this pregnancy wants me to experience every possible symptom. I’m over it.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? My DD is at her first day of preschool so I have 3 hours to myself 3x a week until this baby arrives. I’m pumped!
GTKY: What is your dream job? Mines pretty boring, but I danced my whole life until about age 28 so I just want to be able to dance again but do it for a living. My old body says otherwise. I intend to go back and take a ballet class every week after my body heals from this pregnancy though.

How big is baby? A cottontail rabbit.
Team Girl / Boy / Green? Boy
Any Upcoming Appointments? I think I have two appointments in September. None for the rest of August.
Symptoms? Feeling very low-energy and peeing a lot.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I can’t believe that 10 weeks from now I will have a baby. Wut.
GTKY: What is your dream job? I have no idea. I could discuss my conflicted feelings about it for hours, though 😂.

22 weeks! Dec 25th
How big is baby?
Ear of corn
Team Girl / Boy / Green?

Any Upcoming Appointments?
Next Wednesday. My first of 4 growth scans. Hoping everything still looks okay.
Symptoms?
So much peeing. I have this weird thing where if I hold it too long it makes it harder to pee. Like I have to go but I wait a while before I can get anything out. Its not fun. Maybe I have a UTI?
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I have been feeling so much more defined movement and it is awesome. Have been able to feel them from outside and DH has felt a few. That has been so nice.
GTKY: What is your dream job? I don't think I really have one. I enjoy challenging myself and bettering myself and I feel like there are a lot of areas you can do that in.

Symptoms? Went for a long walk over the weekend and my legs and back were so sore afterwards. I also think I pulled a muscle in my inner thigh/groin area yesterday. I’m hobbling around a lot.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? We need to work on the nursery and moving the bedrooms around. It’s starting to stress me out how much we need to do to get ready!
GTKY: What is your dream job? If I had any talent in this area, I would be a performer on Broadway. More realistically? Maybe own a coffee shop or small cafe

How big is baby? Napa cabbage
Team Girl / Boy / Green? Boy
Any Upcoming Appointments? GD test, regular OB check, and scheduling my c-section the first week of September!
Symptoms? Also peeing like crazy, getting more and more tired again, especially in the afternoons. Super emotional lately, too.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Time seems to be slowing down again and I feel like I'll be pregnant forever. I think the heat and humidity are getting to me, I've never been more ready for fall to get here.
GTKY: What is your dream job? I love baking, it's so relaxing. I think it'd be so fun to have my own bakery - too bad that even though I can make great-tasting things, I'm not so good when it comes to the decorating.

Team Girl / Boy / Green? boy
Any Upcoming Appointments? Had one Monday. HB sounds good, passed my 1 hr glucose, not anemic. In two weeks I start twice a week NSTs and weekly US for fluid measures. Thank god I work from home and live close to the doctor's office.
Symptoms? HB, insomnia.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Yesterday I felt SO BIG. Must have been fluid retention or something. MH came home from work and the first thing he said was "Wow, you're bigger". So it wasn't my imagination. I think I'm more back to normal today.
GTKY: What is your dream job? poof

Any Upcoming Appointments?
I had my glucose test yesterday and I think I passed. I was below 140 and isn’t that the cut off?
Symptoms?
I’m feeling waddley and large but otherwise pretty okay.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?
This little chicken is SO wild in there. The doctor did the Doppler and the baby gave it a direct kick and made my OB laugh out loud.
In other news, I apparently will be traveling regularly for work up until 35 weeks. Fx I do not give birth in some random city. 😬
GTKY: What is your dream job?
This is so cheesy but I’m in it - admissions, business development, and mobile assessment for an acute mental health facility. I basically deal with people in all sorts of various mental states all day long and I love it.
