Bonus points for bump pics 😊 Weeks pregnant: 25 Baby is the size of a: Cauliflower FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM Team: pink Appointments: Glucose test on the 19th Symptoms: more emotional this week, heartburn, feeling like a whale already Milestones: Rants/Raves/Vents: We were pretty set on a name but I keep questioning it. With DD we chose a name at 13 weeks and never looked back. This time it’s sooooo different. Sigh GTKY: When do you start decorating for Christmas? The day after Thanksgiving. I’d start sooner but MH insists on waiting until after Thanksgiving 🤷🏼♀️ Can’t wait! Bump! |

Weeks pregnant: 32w 1d Baby is the size of a: Florida Pomelo FTM/STM/TTM/etc: ttm Team: boy Appointments: had one last Friday, and now I'm going every 2 weeks! Symptoms: nausea has kicked up even more, which I didn't think was possible - i think some is acid reflux. Getting quite uncomfortable now and getting tired easily. Milestones: only 8 more weeks! Rants/Raves/Vents: I feel like we are not prepared at all! I mean, we've done this twice before, but I feel like I should be on top of cleaning bottles, washing clothes, buying formula, etc because the next 8 weeks are going to fly by. GTKY: When do you start decorating for Christmas? Thanksgiving weekend or the weekend after. I'm guessing we will do it Thanksgiving weekend even though it's early this year. Photo taken last week (obviously!)  |

Weeks pregnant: 23+4
Baby is the size of a: grapefruit (except going by recent measurements, baby's actually a cauliflower-plus I think...)
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM
Team: secret
Appointments: OB Thursday
Symptoms: New one - sore, sore abdomen. Any pressure hurts, not sure if it's just uterine or if my Crohn's is acting up. Tired and out of breath easily, sensitive emotions at times, hungrier, gaining weight steadily. PT has immensely helped back and hip discomforts!
Milestones: My belly finally sticks out past my boobs! Feel more pregnant, but less sexy...
Rants/Raves/Vents: Got called for jury duty end of Nov through end of Feb (overlaps C-section date). My idiot OB so far won't send a fax that I have a high-risk pregnancy because she thinks "it won't make a difference" in helping me postpone. B*tch, the court was super helpful and clear that all they needed was a note from her! Ugh. Fighting that this week. She also never sent my PT script like she said she would, and I'm running out of sessions without a script. Wish I'd listened to my gut (and DH) and switched while it was earlier, now it really feels too late. I've just had so many issues with her. Sidenote, my mom was on grand jury during the end of her pregnancy with me and even had to go complete the case with a 2 week old baby at home. Yikes.
GTKY: When do you start decorating for Christmas? Usually Thanksgiving weekend. This time everyone's taking off work the week after Thanksgiving because it's the only time my sister will be in town and we're celebrating our family traditions for Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day three days in a row, should be epic...so I may have to wait to decorate until my sister helps me finish painting the living room (2 walls done, 2 to go - morning sickness happened lol).

Weeks pregnant: 25 + 1 Baby is the size of a: Rutabaga (I’m not sure that I’ve actually seen one of these before) FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM Team: Blue Appointments: Three weeks…I have my bottle of delicious glucola ready to go. Symptoms: New this time around…holy pelvic girdle pain. I can’t make it through a trip to Target without feeling like my ute is about to fall on the ground. I have a support belt being delivered today – hopefully that plus yoga will do the trick. At my appt last week, my fundal height was measuring two weeks ahead. I’ll be very surprised if baby is measuring ahead (DS was only 5lbs 10oz and small babes run on both sides), but it at least explains the pain and why I’m feeling so very pregnant all of a sudden. Milestones: Finally seeing lots of kicks on the outside. This is all starting to feel like it’s actually happening. Rants/Raves/Vents: I need a nap. All the time. GTKY: When do you start decorating for Christmas? I would start this week if we didn’t have so much going on right now! With MH’s schedule and life happening, we won’t have a chance to decorate the house until the week before Thanksgiving. Outdoor lights always go up the week of T-Day.  |

Weeks pregnant: 24+5
Baby is the size of a: Puffin
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: Pink
Appointments: Check up Monday, U/S end of month
Symptoms: Just some general body discomfort, really. Still having that awful pressure-like pain down low. I'm wondering if maybe something is out of alignment and it's the root cause of all this.
Milestones: Viability is here officially and each week gives us better odds!
Rants/Raves/Vents: Hm. Nothing, really. Kinda boring around here right now.
GTKY: When do you start decorating for Christmas? A better question is when I manage to get them all down. For example, I have some wall decals that I put on my kitchen cupboards that are still up from last year lol

@amc I’d be frustrated too. Hopefully he gets the paperwork y’all need ASAP and the move goes smooth. Hugs! CharlieB is that what it’s called? Pelvic girdle pain? I’ve been feeling a lot of pressure downstairs. Some days I don’t feel much but other days I feel like my ute/baby is going to fall right out! I definitely don’t remember this last pregnancy. At my last appointment a couple of weeks ago I told my OB I was feeling some pressure when getting up to pee at night and she said it’s just all the extra blood 🤷🏼♀️ |

Weeks pregnant: 26w, 3d Baby is the size of a: Pineapple. A hyperactive kickboxing pineapple I might add! FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM Team: 💙 Appointments: Who knows!? Not this week anyway. Symptoms: I am still a hot mess. I am exhausted again already. I had a horrible and sudden bought of a few hours of vomiting last week. I guess it was pregnancy related food poisoning. Idk but it was awful. Milestones: I successfully completed my last scheduled jury trial last week, high heels, baby belly and all. Rants/Raves/Vents: My sister wants to throw me a shower. Which is great, but she is driving me crazy about it. I feel awkward about a shower for a third baby. At the same time it has been so long since DD1 that I don't have anything at all. But it is making me grouchy. I really want to get my eating under control before third trimester but there is Halloween candy freaking everywhere and apparently I have no self control! One last rant, my job is killing me. I desperately need to get it figured out, but I don't know how. Part time lawyer work is really hard to keep to part time. I am really afraid I am going to have a bunch of obligations and a newborn. GTKY: When do you start decorating for Christmas? Since I am moving between Thanksgiving and Christmas, I guess then? I am trying so hard to be zen, but this is ready stressful! |

cch I think so! It’s not like when I get RLP - it’s more in the middle and low in the front. I’ve been wearing this support belt for about an hour, and I’m feeling much more comfortable so far.

CharlieB pelvic pain here too. I’ve had it all 3 pregnancies and it starts earlier and earlier 😩. I was pushing a kid in a tomato chair today so I had to crouch over and I had to move soo slowly. I’m sure I looked like a penguin 🐧.

Weeks pregnant: 29
Baby is the size of a: pineapple 🍍
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: green
Appointments: every 2 weeks now!
Symptoms: I went running yesterday and my bones hurt today. reflux and some nausea is returning.
Milestones:
Rants/Raves/Vents: I’m having a lot of mom guilt over not feeling ready for this baby. I’ve been focusing all of my energy on DS2 and getting the help he needs and I’m worried about him when the baby comes. I’m an SLP and DS2 has a speech disorder so I’ve been struggling.
GTKY: When do you start decorating for Christmas? We always go and cut our tree down and decorate the day after Christmas. It’s my favorite day of the year. I’m sure other decorations will be going up sooner.

Weeks pregnant: 24 + 3
Baby is the size of a: ear of corn, burrito, cantalope.
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: Pink
Appointments: Thursday. First official growth ultrasound related to GD... fx she's not measuring weeks ahead! eek.
Symptoms: Add me to the pelvic pressure list. It started SO early this time! I'm moving slow and just trying to take care of myself.
Milestones: Viability!
Rants/Raves/Vents: So much to do, no time to do it all. Slowly getting through the boys' things and rapidly acquiring girl things!
GTKY: When do you start decorating for Christmas? Right after Thanksgiving! I love when Thanksgiving is early, I feel like I get extra time to prep/decorate and actually enjoy the season.

Weeks pregnant: 31+3
Baby is the size of a: small claw otter
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM
Team: Blue
Appointments: 11/15
Symptoms: I'm absolutely starving!! I'm pretty positive it's because we're at .5 lb a week gain portion of my pregnancy. Which is crazy. But I just had breakfast and I feel like I haven't eaten anything. A bagel easily lasts me until lunch time. It's like I didn't eat anything.
Milestones: everyday feels like a milestone
Rants/Raves/Vents: My MIL bought us our diaper bag! My H wanted to use a back pack so I'm really excited to have an actual diaper bag to use! We also toured our birthing center over the weekend and I'm really impressed. They just remodeled so the rooms are beautiful and it feels so peaceful there. We also get a 1 on 1 nurse during labor which is amazing.
GTKY: When do you start decorating for Christmas?
I'm going to try and trick my H into decorating before Thanksgiving but most likely the weekend of Thanksgiving.

Curious what others think. What if we started a separate HDBD thread on Wednesdays? I never remember to put up an picture on here on Mondays because I fill out the little form at work and not at home.

Weeks pregnant: 25
Baby is the size of a: acorn squash I think
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: Girl
Appointments: 1.5 weeks foe the stupid 3 hr GTT since I failed the one hour.
Symptoms: Feeling big. Reflux. Tired easily.
Milestones:Less than 100 days to go!
Rants/Raves/Vents: I have a cold and between pregnancy and my heart condition I can't really take anything
I'm so congested. And all the drainage is sending my super sensitive gag reflex into overdrive and the nausea/vomiting/ dry heaving are so much fun. Also failed my 1hr glucose and my BP is creeping up.
GTKY: When do you start decorating for Christmas? The weekend after Thanksgiving. I like my holidays one at a time.

@trlgrl3 Ah that sounds miserable.  Have you ever tried a sinus rinse? It is gross, but it does help. I feel like I have had a perpetual cold since my BFP. |

So I guess that’s a rant/vent GTKY: When do you start decorating for Christmas? The day after thanksgiving things start coming out.

I’m on day 2 of super painful sinuses (the kind where you can’t chew because the pain radiates into the teeth). I used a saline spray last night but wondering if this is something different I should try. I would do almost anything for some relief right now! |

Weeks pregnant: 28+6
Baby is the size of a: tropical coconut/rollerblade/eggplant (🍆 heh)
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: 💚
Appointments: too many to list 😞 Next up is an appointment with my new OB in Boston on Monday at 8 am (should be a blast trying to get there) and I see my old OB for the last time on Wednesday. Also getting blood drawn Monday and maybe other days too.
Symptoms: the only pregnancy-related ones are heartburn and some lower back pain. Other than that I have just been under the weather (cold last week and now this sinus thing this week).
Milestones: third trimester!!
Rants/Raves/Vents: see weekly randoms thread lol
GTKY: When do you start decorating for Christmas? After Thanksgiving. Not that weekend but usually the one after, which is when we get our tree.

I used a saline spray last night but wondering if this is something different I should try. I would do almost anything for some relief right now! I use one like this. I had a horrible sinus infection a few weeks ago, with miserable upper jaw pain. It took a while but it cleared up. I use it two to three times a day if needed. The instructions are to use previously boiled or distilled water. It is most comfortable when it is warm, but not hot. I boil it and then wait for it to cool down.  |
