Week/EDD: 26+4, EDD 6/6
Baby is the size of: head of lettuce
FTM
Team: 💙
Appointments: none this week
Milestones: almost to third trimester!
Symptoms: back pain, and I get tired to easily. It’s also getting harder to catch my breath.
Rants: I’m stubborn, and hate having to admit when I can’t do something. This is getting hard for me as I can’t bend or lift things the way I’m used to being able to.
Raves: I’m really excited about our baby shower this month back home! One box as already arrived here. We’ve been waiting for so long, I can’t wait to finally get to celebrate this kid with our families and friends!

Week/EDD: 24w4d/ June 20
Baby is the size of: eggplant
FTM, Etc: stm (3yo ds)
Team: blue
Appointments: Tomorrow is my GTT - I’m freaking out because I passed out when they took my blood earlier this pregnancy. I don’t do well with it at all. Hopefully I pass and don’t have to do the 3 hr test.
Milestones: Not sure
Symptoms: Some heartburn (it was really bad at the beginning of last week but has gotten better), soreness in hips and back, a little nausea occasionally
Rants: We still don’t know where we will be living. They theoretically should have told us Friday- but we didn’t hear anything and couldn’t get ahold of anyone. Hopefully we will hear today. Currently we should have 30 days notice at least.
Raves: Baby has been moving a ton. We got a few things that we’ve been needing which is fun. H and I started talking about the layout of the nursery if we are still in this house. I haven’t been quite as hungry so maybe my weight gain will slow down - I’ve been a little stressed about that.

bonzo, yay for your baby shower coming up! mamabear02, hope you do better with the needle this time, I hate needles, and always have to look away and occupy my mind with something else, like reading a flyer on the wall. And I really hope your housing situation gets figured out, what an extra stressors that you don't need right now!

Week/EDD: 27 tomorrow, June 4th
Baby is the size of: A Terrarium
FTM, Etc: TTM
Team: Blue
Appointments: Had my level 2 US last week, they still were not visualizing his heart enough (after two anatomy scans). We had the best US tech and she immediately saw all the pics she needed and declared baby boy is super healthy! I have a f/u with my OB Wednesday (maybe my 3rd GTT, lol).
Milestones: is this the third trimester? If so, then yay, if not...stay tuned for next week when I put this again.
Symptoms: Sleeping like shit, hips hurting
Rants: I dont have much, other than holy shit I am going to have a newborn again in 3 months or less and that's slightly terrifying. I swing between "what were we thinking" and "I cant wait to meet him" (and before I'm flamed, he is very much loved and wanted but my anxiety likes to kick in!!)
Raves: More movement, probably one of the best part of pregnancy for me!

midnight, I completely get the swing between "what were we thinking" and "I cant wait to meet him/her". It in absolutely no way means you dont love him with every ounce of your being, it is just scary wondering how to handle another kid, no matter how loved and wanted they are.

mamabear02, I can’t believe you still haven’t gotten a clear answer from your landlord! I hope you can get that situation figured out ASAP so it’s not an extra stressor anymore.

Week/EDD: 30. May 9, RCS may 2
Baby is the size of: a cantaloupe
STM
Team green
Appointments: none this week!
Milestones: For some reason being in the thirty weeks feels like a huge milestone! Nine weeks left to go!
Symptoms: Omg sleeping has been ridiculous and I'm sure it's just going to get worse. I have to get to to use the bathroom about every two hours and getting out of bed is so hard with back and hip pain. I've been getting up early because it's just easier to get started with my day than get back in and out of bed again.
Rants: I'm also slightly terrified about having a newborn again now that this is feeling more real. My sister has a two week old and watching her has reminded me just how hard it is.
Raves:I spent all day yesterday getting all the baby things down from the attic and putting them away. Also pretty much finished my hospital bag except a few small things I'll pick up at target this week. It's always such a relief knowing if the baby came any time soon I would be as ready as I could be.

midnight, I have thought very often in this pregnancy “what the heck did we do?!” And he was very much planned. It’s hard when you know what is coming. I was blissfully unaware with my first.

Week/EDD: 28w 1d
Baby is the size of: Coconut?
FTM, Etc: STM
Team: Blue
Appointments: Tomorrow, Glucose test. I failed the first one last time, so I'm anticipating failing it again. I don't know if I can go in the next day and do the 3 hr, if so we'd stay overnight rather than come home and go back.
Milestones: Thinking about getting an SI belt
Symptoms: Feeling like a house, hips hurting. I can't keep the pain away so I'm thinking of talking to my PT and getting a belt ordered.
Rants: I thought it was a great idea to buy a sleeper couch 4 years ago, and this thing sucks. The cushions are sagging in the middle, the back pillows are constantly out of shape, the material is pilling, it is so uncomfortable. I can't even lay on it comfortably, it sags so much it hurts my hips. Even when I sit on it, I'm tilted, it's murder on my hips. We need a new one, and I am getting nervous about trying to pick the right one.
Raves: I got DH on board to buy a new couch at least, lol. Of course he's in love with the light grey linen one, and I'm thinking that's a bad idea.

Week/EDD: 22, July 4th
Baby is the size of: guinea pig?
FTM, Etc: TTM
Team: Green
Appointments: Nothing this week
Milestones: Nada
Symptoms: Heartburn, some abdominal pains - feels like everything is stretching and moving, which I guess it is.
Rants: Nothing, I've been a Debbie Downer lately and am trying not to be this week.
Raves: After talking to my doctor last month we decided it would be best to start taking my Lexapro again. As much as I wanted to try to avoid it during pregnancy, she said the benefit would outweigh the risk. I've been pretty irritable lately, haven't had good control of my emotions, and wake up feeling like I can't breathe sometimes. I'm starting off at a smaller dosage to see if that helps first. I'm not sure if it's a benefit or a side effect but I've slept great the past two nights which hasn't happened in months.

I also think I'm so far removed from the newborn stage (last one was 4 years ago) that I sort of had that blissful ignorance until the memories started flowing back in 😂 |

DS will turn 4 about a month after this one comes so all the baby stuff was so long ago... but not long enough ago to forget how hard it was! |
