Sometimes getting on all 4s and having DH squeeze my hips together really helps temporarily relieve the hip pain. We did that a lot during labour too! I feel like having my H do this would be inviting him to think that we're going to be doing... something... which LOLno, not right now. Poor guy.

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 29+1
Baby is the size of a: Barbie convertible
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Blue 🤭 I need to say his name guys. I’m starting to panic but MH is all in... I’ll probably go post in randoms. (We keep it a secret obvi lol)
Appointments: tmrw. Can’t wait to throw my urine cup at that poor nurse again.
Symptoms: back at that “fog” brain feeling I literally don’t understand.
Milestones: I keep counting down the weeks until it’s closer to a “safer” delivery time.
Rants/Raves/Vents: barely passed 3hr glucose so I’ll get it checked each visit at the dr. I’ll take it.
Can’t think of a GTKY so how about make a self-care pledge for this week? This week to take care of myself I will: I’m going to start doing meditation daily. I NEED to. Also I’m eating throughout the day. With my job I’m so bad at making time for lunch but I packed it and snacks today. Still foggy brained though so idk. We have nearly everything just need to pay for my cart on amazon and target then a load of laundry and sanitize parts etc. pack hospital bag and stuff but at least everything needed is once the house!

Okay so PDQ cuz I’m crazy but I’ll have to give my DD name to cuz I feel like we don’t pick... I’m not sure “traditional” names so I feel like it helps knowing her name. No.va Rosa.lyn And this boy... Rid.ge Jam.es I’m not sure why I’m struggling I was solid now I’m torn. Probably just because second guessing is how I roll I suppose lol.

MH is a jr. we have had so many issues with him being a jr so the third is out of question. So the middle name is MH middle name actually so that’s kind of non negotiable. And in I’m being honest MH is pretty set with the first name too lol

Love it nmom! And your daughter's. Why are you hesitant now, is there another name in the back of your mind or just because it's such a big decision (because I've been there several times, with both pregnancies haha).

I think big decision lol. I did it with my daughter. I struggle a little when I say FN MN next to each other with that G and J. Also I feel like with both my daughter and his it sounds funny with our last name but confession: I haven’t fully grown to love my new last name and she’s still young so we don’t really say it too often for school or anything it’ll likely grow on me. I’ve searched names just to see if something sparks me and nothing has so I’m sure we are set and once I do it I’ll be like it’s so perfect! Lol.

That makes sense, I don't really love the flow of our fn/mn (Henry Joe) but I love the names, and honestly the amount of times I or anyone else will be saying them together is so few that it really doesn't matter, haha. And we decided E's name so early in the pregnancy and announced it that I second guessed myself so many times but I can't imagine her as anyone else now! Names are so weird, like what a huge thing to be in charge of! Ha

I love them too nmom! My H is a Jr too, and his first name was out of the question lol (I love H and his dad, but their name is so NMS). We used their middle name for kiddo though, to keep that trend going. I understand the hesitation.

Names are so weird, like what a huge thing to be in charge of! Ha When we got pregnant for my DD I instantly panicked over naming her. I felt it to be such an overwhelming and HUGE decision lol. I actually say my DD FN MN often but it might be because I adore them together lol so maybe this time will be different!

I don’t mind FIL but GMIL.... is..... I can’t speak to her so that’s some of it. But it’s also a common name and I love it for MH but it’s not fitting for our style

jacks have you been using compression stockings for the veins? They make my legs feel a lot better during the day and especially evenings. I somehow have gotten a lot of vericose veins this pregnancy when I didnt the last 2. I hope they look better after delivery. Otherwise I am sure vein surgery is in my future.

I had been wearing knee-high compression socks, but they weren’t doing much. My doctor mentioned getting fitted for the full leg stockings, but said the cost at this point might not be worth it. I’m planning on just ordering all new legs after this. There’s no way my legs will ever look normal again. (That’s how it works, right? Just amazon prime some new legs?)

I got thigh high ones which fall down some what. I should have gotten the full leg ones for sure but same as you I feel like its not worth it at this point. New legs would be great Let me know where to sign up.

Oh, and how could I forget to add that my skin is rebelling. Acne in the weirdest places, SO DRY - like I wish I could just sit in a bath tub full of lotion, and skin tags and little moles popping up. Pregnancy is so weird. my skin, which is normally very acne prone, is magically clear during pregnancy, BUT i get spider angiomas on my face! The most offensive one is smack dab in between my eyebrows. what the heck? pregnancy is indeed weird.

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 34w2d, delivery March 4
Baby is the size of a: 2 cantaloupes
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM/TTM (twins)
Team: Identical boys
Appointments: Tmmw for dopplers/fluid check. NST on Friday
Symptoms: My hips feel like they are cracking apart. Sore back. Vaginal pressure. Some pregnancy rage at contractors (work related, ha)
Milestones: 34 weeks feels so huge to me, I'm not sure why. Getting close!
Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm at the point where random strangers will ask me if it's twins. This REALLY annoyed me last time, at least now I can say yes 😉 (still think it's rude AF though)
Can’t think of a GTKY so how about make a self-care pledge for this week? This week to take care of myself I will: Make sure to spend some good time with H after Dd's bedtime, even just hanging out. I know things are going to get crazy soon.
Share any U/S or bump pics if you'd like: How are y'all uploading photos from mobile? I used to use imgur but it's not working for me...

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 34w 5d, RCS 3/1 (due to mild pre eclampsia)
Baby is the size of a: cantaloupe
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Blue
Appointments: Thursday MFM, Friday OB
Symptoms: Lightning crotch, heartburn and my hemmoroid is still hanging in there.
Milestones: I kept the baby in another week and my liver enzymes which are still elevated came down from the week before! Mentally I'm still going week to week but I'm optimistic I'll make it to March.
Rants/Raves/Vents: I gave DH a list of things to help me with this weekend (DD was at my parent's) and it's Tuesday and they still aren't done. Since I'm suppose to take it easy and some of it I just can't physically do so I'm a little frustrated.
Can’t think of a GTKY so how about make a self-care pledge for this week? This week to take care of myself I will: Have a cleaner come to do the housework! She actually came today and I'm taking a bath in my tub that I didn't have to clean!

Eames, I got the "is it twins" last time all the time. Now it's just "You look like you're due any day now." To which my response is that there are two in there. Then they shut their mouth, wish me luck and good health, and move on. LOL

Good morning and good Monday to you! Let’s hear it. Weeks pregnant/Due date: 37+1 Baby is the size of a: swiss chard FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM Team: green Appointments: I had one yesterday and one next Wednesday. I'm hoping to have a baby before then 😁 Symptoms: so much pressure. Lots of intermittent contractions. My whole body aches. Milestones: we made it to 37 weeks, so we can now deliver at home! At my appointment yesterday my midwife said that she can only feel babys neck. Its head it's totally in my pelvis. Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm so excited that any day I'm going to have an outside baby. Can’t think of a GTKY so how about make a self-care pledge for this week? This week to take care of myself I will: I have a 90 minute prenatal massage scheduled for tomorrow. Im so excited. I found someone who specializes in prenatals and she had a table where I can lay on my belly! I also have an osteopath appointment tomorrow, so I'm hoping an alignment and relaxation will help kick start things. Share any U/S or bump pics if you'd like: Here's my 37 week bump!

tapdancer I’m so happy to see you’ve still got that baby in there! MH did the same thing when I was pregnant with N and on bedrest. I had an entire list I was itching to nest and couldn’t he said he’d do it and never got to it. I lost it complete meltdown then he spent the entire weekend just before her induction finishing everything up. I have no regrets on how bad I lost it to get it done 😂 install the car seat H!!!!!! I’m sure my neighbors heard me 😬

Bed rest + nesting urges do not mix!
