When is your due date? How far along are you? December 12; 35+5
How big is baby? Small spaghetti squash.
Boy/Girl/Team Green? Boy.
Any Upcoming Appointments For You or Baby? OB check-in on Thursday, and then we’re onto weekly appointments! Hoping to find out his position this week. FX so hard for a non-breech baby!
Symptoms: I had such terrible acid reflux / heartburn last night that it made me miserably nauseous. I should have said no to chips and salsa. Otherwise, the usual sciatica pain and lightening crotchety.
ETA: Leaving crotchety because it’s funny.
Milestones: 30 day mark! Ahhhhhhh! I can’t believe I’ll have my baby boy in my arms in 30 days or less!
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? DD probably has croup again. The sickness seems to keep looping through her room at daycare. So much coughing. So much tired.
GTKY: Do you have a special veteran in your life? Tell us about him/her! My brother is an Aerospace Maintenance Journeyman, Senior Weapons System Controller (say that 10x fast) in the Air Force. He’s been enlisted for 20 years and has had a few trips overseas. So proud of him and all that he’s accomplished.

When is your due date? How far along are you? OR how old is baby? Caleb is 3 weeks old!
How big is baby? My very unscientific method of standing on the scale holding the baby says he’s about 9.6lbs
Boy/Girl/Team Green? Boy
Any Upcoming Appointments For You or Baby? His one month appt next week, excited to see how he’s growing! And I started seeing a postpartum therapist
Milestones: he’s starting to “wake up” more and really look at things.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I really wish he would just poop, it’s been a day and a half and I can tell he’s uncomfortable at times. Poor little dude
GTKY: Do you have a special veteran in your life? Tell us about him/her! Both of my grandfathers were WW2 vets, I loved hearing their stories from the service. My mother’s father was career air force, so she moved around a lot as a kid and lived in Germany and Canada. I grew up next to a Navy/Marine base, so I count many veterans and active duty military among my friends.

Boy/Girl/Team Green? Girl
Any Upcoming Appointments For You or Baby? Wednesday is my 40 week check up, hoping I will be in the hospital before then though.
Symptoms: Contractions on and off since yesterday, overall feeling crampy. I was jogging in place last night before bed....I'm so so desperate lol.
Milestones:
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? She's not here yet!!!!!!! 😂
GTKY: Do you have a special veteran in your life? Tell us about him/her! Yes! My dad served in the Navy. He is an amazing father and Grandpa and I know some of that has to come from his life experiences. He is such a hard worker, even after having double hip replacements and back surgery. He is also a very kind and loving man. I'm so proud of him.
ETA- I also have many other family members that served as well and I am very proud of all of them. My cousin was in the army and he was such an incredible man. He passed away of colon cancer about 6 years ago at a young age leaving behind his young family. Days like this make me think of him and his family and how incredible of a man he was.

Any Upcoming Appointments For You or Baby?
I see my OB again on Wednesday. I just saw her last night when I ended up in L&D. I'd been vomiting so bad this weekend I was worried about dehydration and I felt him move less, so I wanted to make sure all was well.
Symptoms:
Fatigue, nausea, vomiting, HORRIBLE reflux, difficulty getting around, dehydrated, lightening crotch, contractions (BH & real)
Milestones:
I made it to 38w?
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?
I am ready to have this baby. I am so, so done of being sick every single goddamn day. Also, I got laid off last week, so now I literally have nothing to do all day. I don't want to go out and spend money that I'm not making, and I'm bored. After I have this baby, I can start looking for work, but no one will talk to me when I'm 38 weeks pregnant.
GTKY: Do you have a special veteran in your life? Tell us about him/her! BFF's H is an army veteran. He's a good dude.

When is your due date? How far along are you? OR how old is baby? M is 2 weeks old yesterday
How big is baby? last appt he was 7lb 6 oz - above his birth weight!
Any Upcoming Appointments For You or Baby? We have a pediatrician appt today for his 2 week checkup. Last week we took him into urgent care because he seemed to be working really hard to breath and he ended up admitted to the pediatric floor of the hospital for transient hypoxia for a few days. He tested negative on his viral/flu swab and had a normal echocardiogram - they sent us home on supplemental oxygen under the assumption he has a minor virus not picked up by the swab, or that his lungs were just weak enough not to handle the altitude here. We'll discuss weaning him off the oxygen today at his appt.
Milestones: He's giving us nice 3 hour stretches of sleep between feedings and getting more alert every day!
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I gave him belly raspberries yesterday and he smiled so wide each time. it was adorable!
GTKY: Do you have a special veteran in your life? Tell us about him/her! My dad served in the army for a number of years before my brother and I were born. He doesn't talk about it much and there was no war going on at the time, but I still appreciate his service!

When is your due date? How far along are you? OR how old is baby? Due date is 12/5, RCS scheduled for 11/29. 37 weeks, FINALLY. How big is baby? Fucking large. Boy/Girl/Team Green? Boy. Any Upcoming Appointments For You or Baby? OB check on Friday Symptoms: BH contractions and some that feel like the real thing, acid reflux, so much lightning crotch OMG, insomnia. Milestones: Full term. Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? As with Diordra on most things in this pregnancy (lol) I only have now 6 days left of work. I am done the day before Thanksgiving and have the next week off to rest until the 29th. GTKY: Do you have a special veteran in your life? Tell us about him/her! I wrote about my late grandfather in the Veterans Day thread in GD. He was a WW2 vet, youngest bomber pilot in the 15th Air Force. Never lost a member of his crew. Made the Air Force his career and retired as a Colonel. Missed General because he literally went to Congress and fought to keep a bunch of bases open that were going to be shut down. They stayed open but he lost General because he got "political." He didn't care. He was such a good man.

When is your due date? How far along are you? OR how old is baby? 11/29, 37+5; RCS looks to be getting bumped up to 11/23 thanks to blood pressure issues.
How big is baby? Honeydew melon
Boy/Girl/Team Green? Blue
Any Upcoming Appointments For You or Baby? Well, currently still being monitored in labor and delivery. Next regular OB check scheduled for Thursday, and I hear rumors that I'll also need to schedule an NST this week assuming I go home tonight.
Symptoms: so much swelling, cramping, and just generally feeling done.
Milestones: I'm past 37 weeks, and baby is coming out in 11 days or less.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I hate being sent to labor and delivery. I know better safe than sorry, but man am I sick of being here.
GTKY: Do you have a special veteran in your life? Tell us about him/her! I don't - my family moved to the US from Germany, so no family here. My dad never served in the German army because he had polio as a kid, and generations before that I think a lot of German families just don't really talk about, it's a lot different than here for obvious reasons.

When is your due date? How far along are you? OR how old is baby? 11/20, 39w
How big is baby? The size of a full term baby, and growing. Or a “small pumpkin”, but she feels like a giant pumpkin to me.
Boy/Girl/Team Green? Girl
Any Upcoming Appointments For You or Baby? Next OB appt is Thursday. I also have a growth ultrasound on Friday but that seems maybe not necessary at this point.
Symptoms: uncomfortable all the time. Hurts to walk. Not much better to sit. Waking up a lot in the night for no good reason.
Milestones:
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I’m concerned that I don’t really know what early contractions/labor feel like. Hopefully I’ll know it when it happens.
I would like the plan to be that I get induced and have the baby this weekend. We’ll see how that works out.
GTKY: Do you have a special veteran in your life? Tell us about him/her! MH’s family has more veterans than mine - his dad and both grandpa’s were in the military.

How big is baby? Big...lol
Boy/Girl/Team Green? Girl
Any Upcoming Appointments For You or Baby? Induction set for 11/18
Symptoms: Acid reflux, lots of back pain, and overall just super uncomfortable
Milestones: only made it to 36w6d with DS so this is new territory.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Ready for baby girl to be here and to have my body feeling more normal again.
GTKY: Lots of veterans in my life. My husband was a Captain in the USAF and did a tour in Iraq. My mom, dad, and brother were all in the Army. My brother joined close to 9/11 and did tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I can still remember getting the call from him that he was being deployed. I was terrified and so proud of him. His life wasn’t really going anywhere after high school and joining really turned it around.

When is your due date? How far along are you? OR how old is baby? Dec 19th for RCS, 34w2d How big is baby? 6lbs!!! So amazing to even be able to say that. DS was 4lb so it is just so weird and amazing to me that she is ALREADY 6lb. Feels like such a milestone. Boy/Girl/Team Green? Girl Any Upcoming Appointments For You or Baby? Just had one yesterday. Growth US and BPP. Everything looked great! We took DS for the first time and he was so excited to see his sister on the TV. Symptoms: Well last week belly button pain turned out to be an infection. So they gave me antibiotics and it felt infinitely better like a day in. I had my first experience with heartburn last week. That wasn't pleasant. Hasn't been too bad since though. Milestones: See above! 6lb baby girl. Felt comfortable enough to take DS to an ultrasound. I've been so nervous this whole pregnancy and I am starting to feel good and really just excited for a different experience this go around. Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? My furniture finally came! I washed all her clothes this past weekend and put them away. The nursery is pretty much ready to go. Just gotta hang a few things on the walls and make a trip to buy buy baby for some last minute things. Next order of business it to get ready for DS bday party next weekend and ready for the Holidays! GTKY: Do you have a special veteran in your life? Tell us about him/her! MHs Grandfather. We just celebrated his 90th birthday this weekend. DS is his only great grandchild and this little girl will be his second.
