Any Upcoming Appointments?

30 week check in next week

Symptoms?

Oh let's see. Nausea, vomiting daily, diarrhea, constipation, hemorrhoids, constant heartburn, lack of appetite, fatigue, emotional AF... being pregnant is so much fun.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?

I want this baby to cook until full term, but at the same time, I am SO done being pregnant. My body is just suffering. And it was like this with DD too. Sick daily right up until I delivered. And being pregnant with a toddler is awful. DD is 19 months and constantly wants up. I can't lift 30 lbs so easy anymore... and I actually tore my intercostal muscle lifting her. Which landed me in the ER because they thought I had a pulmonary embolism.

Wow, I guess I'm really bitching today, huh?

Symptoms? So much movement and man it's strong. I can make out little body parts too. So much peeing guys, so much peeing.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I MADE IT TO THE 3RD TRIMESTER. YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

GTKY: Tell us something unexpected about yourself! Hmmm. I used to work in Philadelphia sports so I have a lot of really cool stories regarding that. Met some pretty big celebs and athletes of course.

[jillywilly]

When is your due date? How far along are you? 11/29; 28+6 - RCS scheduled for 11/26!

How big is baby? Big enough to squish my bladder constantly.

Boy/Girl/Surprise? Boy

Any Upcoming Appointments? 3 hour glucose test tomorrow

Symptoms? Add me to the constantly peeing club. And ever since officially hitting third tri I just feel... big. Like little boy is already taking up so much room in there, and he's still got a little over 10 weeks to grow. Lots of aches and pains with the bigness, sleeping is getting harder, moving in general is getting harder.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I feel your pain, sapatos. I told H that I'm really ready to not feel enormous, and to be able to drink a glass of wine again. Obviously baby needs to cook a lot longer still, but I'm definitely counting down to being done. Which makes me feel guilty after all we've been through to make him in the first place.

GTKY: Tell us something unexpected about yourself! I was born in Germany - my dad got an offer he couldn't refuse from his boss when I was a little over a year old, so that's when we moved to the US. I got my citizenship shortly after I was 18, and I still can (kind of) speak German. We actually had my aunt/uncle visit from Germany over Labor Day weekend, and I said something to them in German, and DS' eyes got so wide, and he was like, "You can speak German, mommy?" So he's impressed by that at least, lol.

GTKY: Tell us something unexpected about yourself! Hnmmm... I met and spoke with Maya Angelou. Such a cool experience. She was cranky and a little high maintenance, but her presence and speech more than made up for it. Annnnd... H and I have been together since we were 17. We’re now 32.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? DD was so cute during the ultrasound (the parts she paid attention lol) and she asked for her own photo of baby brother to carry around

GTKY: Tell us something unexpected about yourself! I love to sing (karaoke, choirs, musical theater) and have sang at a few weddings, most recently this past weekend. I also have a side job as a face painter at festivals, although I haven't done as many events this year.

Any Upcoming Appointments? Regular OB Friday and MFM Tuesday. FX for placenta movement quijibo and possibly me too!

Symptoms? Still horrible sciatica and heartburn. Also, the emotions. My gosh. I said something so mean to my H yesterday for no reason and cried about it the whole day. I asked him if he was mad before bed and he said no because he knows it’s just my hormones. What did I do to deserve him?! Now I’m crying just thinking about how lucky I am to have him. Lol. So. Much. Crying.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I just hope to start getting more solid answers at my MFM appointment next week. There has been so many different inputs that I’d really like to see some semblance of an actual plan.

GTKY: Tell us something unexpected about yourself! I am terrible at this question. All my joints are hyper mobile, but thanks to dance and acro I have had to have 6 surgeries on my right shoulder. I’m documented in a medical journal somewhere because it was/is so unusually bad.

[charlotte]

summerrain I have been mean to MH too lately. I just get so irritated and then I feel awful because he is never anything but sweet to me.

MH’s family is closely connected to quite a few politicians in the Democratic Party. I’ve been able to spend time with some truly amazing leaders and get involved with causes that mean a lot to me.

[Dr. Cox]

charlotte, I pick stuff up with my feet too! It freaks MH out, but so much easier than bending over at this stage so 🤷‍♀️.

Well after the day of quiet from baby girl she has been quite active since so I am feeling a lot better about that. It has been hard to not be able to move around the same way I used to be.

GTKY: Tell us something unexpected about yourself! We used to live close to Bay Area sports facilities so lived near many professional athletes.

GTKY: Tell us something unexpected about yourself! I was really into singing when i was younger and used to be in the community summer musical every year. It’s funny if you know me now because I’m so not the performing/center of attention type.
