When is your due date? How far along are you? December 12; 25+6

How big is baby? Large cucumber or a Prairie Dog

Boy/Girl/Surprise? Boy!

Any Upcoming Appointments? 1 hour glucose test is scheduled for Friday morning. Woooooo. And we’re counting down to “the scan” that will show what my placenta is up to. 16 more days!

Symptoms? Slight ankle / feet swelling by the end of the day. I never swelled with DD. I’m not sure why this freaks me out. I have myself convinced that I’m going to have BP issues, because... hypochondriac.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I have a rant about men who say things like, “You were not that big last week! You got out of the car this morning and I was like, ‘Wow!’” Eff off.

GTKY: Does the return of Pumpkin Spice make you go "Yay!" or "Boo!"? I don’t drink coffee, so you won’t find me at Starbucks ordering a pumpkin spice anything. I think a pumpkin spice donut was consumed once or twice. They’re OK but do not rock my world. Gimme all the pumpkin pie and whipped cream at Thanksgiving, though.

ETA: Put me in the “eh” camp for pumpkin spice ☺️

Any Upcoming Appointments? Midwife appt next week. Going to try and find time to call today and see if I can make an appt for a 3D ultrasound. Hoping it's not too late to get some shots of baby boy!

Symptoms? So much peeing, baby boy enjoys shoving his butt in my ribs and dive-bombing my bladder, swollen feet.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?

GTKY: Does the return of Pumpkin Spice make you go "Yay!" or "Boo!"? I'm on the fence- on one hand, I love pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread and will enjoy the occasional PSL, but the pumpkin spice in every blessed thing is too much. I don't need pumpkin spice cheerios, tyvm. And Pumpkin spice scented things are generally gross.

How big is baby? An otter.

Boy/Girl/Surprise? Boy

Any Upcoming Appointments? Thursday. Just a check-up and I think they’ll schedule my 3rd tri growth scan.

Symptoms? Swelling, which I didn’t experience last time. The peeing thing.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Now that it’s officially September I’m starting to feel excited. It feels crazy that I’ll probably have a baby “next month”! I still have a lot on my todo list but I’m happy that I’m finally starting to feel excitement instead of whatever I was feeling before, ha.

GTKY: Does the return of Pumpkin Spice make you go "Yay!" or "Boo!"? Mmm I like pumpkin pie but I don’t do pumpkin spice drinks or anything.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Little dude is measuring 4 weeks ahead and I am so freaking huge and uncomfortable already. I am as big now as I was with DS2 when I delivered him.

GTKY: Does the return of Pumpkin Spice make you go "Yay!" or "Boo!"? I made pumpkin bread over the weekend and am on the PS bandwagon for certain products. I love getting my PSL from Starbucks once or twice in the season and love a select few other PS products.

Eggplant

Boy/Girl/Surprise?
Girl

Any Upcoming Appointments?
Sept 14th. Regular OB check. Another growth US at the end of September.

Symptoms?
Peeing all of the time. Lots of movement and kicking.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?
I am 24 weeks today! I've been anxious to get here all pregnancy. Now every week that goes by is just amazing in terms of development and well being on the outside if something were to go wrong.

GTKY: Does the return of Pumpkin Spice make you go "Yay!" or "Boo!"?
Ehh. I will have maybe 1 or 2 all season as a "treat" but don't generally like to have too many flavored coffees. I'd get sick of it so fast if I had it with any regular frequency.

How big is baby?
Large cabbage

Boy/Girl/Surprise?
Boy

Any Upcoming Appointments?
9/11, starting two week appts!

Symptoms?
Tired, heartburn, still can’t breathe

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?
I’m starting to panic about having a newborn and toddler. DS is a new three and very challenging lately Also, my stomach is not for touching. Hands off unless you want to get slapped. I don’t get why people think it’s ok to just rub your stomach, it’s not a baby.

GTKY: Does the return of Pumpkin Spice make you go "Yay!" or "Boo!"?
Boo! But I will take all the Apple cider.

When is your due date? How far along are you? 11/29; 27+5

How big is baby? I think it was a bunch of bananas last I looked at the app.

Boy/Girl/Surprise? Boy

Any Upcoming Appointments? Thursday I go in for my next appointment, coupled with GD test and getting to schedule my c-section.

Symptoms? I wasn't doing so bad on the constant peeing, but little boy has either gone through a growth spurt or just finds my bladder extra cozy lately because it got out of control real fast. More heartburn again lately, which is annoying since I never had it with DS.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? My sister had our nephew in April, and gave me back a bunch of clothes I had passed on to her, plus some other stuff she had. With an early April baby, she had a decent amount of 0-3 month long-sleeved onesies, and we had basically 0 from our June baby, so between that and the things I've bought, I feel like we have enough clothes for a newborn.

GTKY: Does the return of Pumpkin Spice make you go "Yay!" or "Boo!"? I really don't enjoy pumpkin spice anything, but I do love the fall smells and decor that come with it, and am especially looking forward to the (hopefully soon) cooler temps that should be coming as well.

Ugh, it's so obnoxious how people feel like they can comment on your body when you'e pregnant.  Either I get the "wow, you still have two more months??" or the weird meant as a compliment comments on how I haven't gained much weight except my belly, and depending on what I wear I'm either huge or small.  How about just don't?  I don't mind it with close friends, but eff off, random office people!

GTKY: Does the return of Pumpkin Spice make you go "Yay!" or "Boo!"? I just want it to be fall. I’ll take some pumpkins bread and pumpkin candles while decorating for fall, but then I’m good for the season.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I think I'm going through the second time Mom, OMG WHAT I AM DOING TO MY FIRST BABY feels. DD1 is very attached to me and I've been all up in my feels about how a little sister is going to effect her.

GTKY: Does the return of Pumpkin Spice make you go "Yay!" or "Boo!"? I used to be very stereotypical love all the pumpkin spice things. I no longer am. The last few years I've picked up a PSL but I think they put to much nutmeg in them now and it makes me feel bleh.
