Week/EDD: 31w 1d
Baby is the size of: Coconut
FTM, Etc: STM, DS is 2
Team: Blue
Appointments: Next Tuesday
Milestones: I'm getting the 'when are you due?' questions from people. Followed quickly by either 'almost there!' or 'Wow, still a ways to go!', and then the 'do you know what you're having?'. They find out it's another boy and half go 'Oh wow, so fun!' or 'good luck with that.'
I don't remember that many people commenting on my pregnancy last time.
Symptoms: Tired. Big. Can't believe I still have nine weeks left. I have to mentally cut it down into steps, like at 35 weeks I'll finish packing my hospital bag, at 37 weeks I'll wash the baby laundry and set it up with the changing table, and at 38 weeks I'll just start worrying about labor.
Rants: I wish DS understood what was happening. He's 2, but he doesn't talk yet, I've read books, talked about it, let him feel my belly when the baby is kicking, he's seen a couple newborns and I've told him we'd have one of those soon, but he either doesn't really understand, or doesn't care. I wish there was more I could do.
Raves: Eh, kind of a medium week. I did manage to get a belly picture last week, it's only like the third I've taken all pregnancy. I don't feel terrible, but I'm kind of obsessive and if I did it for DS, I'd like to do it the same amount for DS2. But I'm giving myself some leniency, as long as I get a couple more I won't feel terrible. I didn't get them for every week with DS1.

Week/EDD: 33w4d. May 9
Baby is the size of: a head of cauliflower
STM
Team green
Appointments: two weeks from now
Milestones: approaching my final month of pregnancy!
Symptoms: It sucks feeling the worse at night. As soon as I lay down my restless leg kicks in, heartburn gets worse, and I just have to pee constantly. But overall not feeling too bad. Sometimes I'll catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and think wow i really don't feel that bad for being this big lol.
Rants: This past week my mom decided to book a last minute international trip two weeks before my due date. She's my plan for childcare for DD so I really hope this baby doesn't come early.
Also my MIL has been asking me when if I'm going to be throwing my self a baby shower and it's really starting to annoy me. I mean I don't ever see myself throwing a shower for myself especially for a second baby but if I did it would be done a lot sooner than the second half of my last trimester. I already have everything I need for the baby at this point!
Raves: I'm so glad we've been able to get some much stuff done off my to do list. I'm looking forward to taking it easy in April!

quinstar, I took pictures weekly with DS but have barely taken any this time- I don’t really feel bad because I honestly can’t ever see DS asking to look at week by week pictures of me pregnant with him and I have barely looked at them since taking them. Most of the time I’ve looked at them has been through this pregnancy to compare.

Week/EDD: 26+0 /July 1st (RCS June 24th or 25th)
Baby is the size of: some sort of loaf of bread
FTM, Etc: STM (5 yo DD)
Team: Pink:)
Appointments: Had my GTT 2 weeks ago and OB last week. I have t get my pertussis shot next week and then nothing until the 18th.
Milestones: Almost at 3rd tri!
Symptoms: Nauseous. And so so tired. And all the hip and back pain. I actually held my belly walking up the stairs last night because my pelvis was hurting so much. It helped.
Rants: Shockingly I've got nothing today!
Raves: We're going to look at a house down the street from my parents' house tomorrow. My banker said we could swing buying it on top of our current property. That would mean DD, I, SO and baby could move in like nowish and live there until renos are finished on our house, then use the new house as a rental or else sell it when we move to our other house. This would get me out of my parents' house and put SO, the kids and I all under 1 roof now instead of 2 years from now. I'm hoping it works out.

sammysam, I’ve been using a maternity support belt and it really helps take the pressure off when I’m walking a bunch and has also helped my round ligament pain. Sounds like it might help you too?

Week/EDD: 29+4, EDD 6/6
Baby is the size of: a cabbage
FTM, Etc: FTM
Team: 💙
Appointments: Friday
Milestones: had my first baby shower!
Symptoms: nothing different this week
Rants: no rants today, feeling pretty good!
Raves: This has been a long weekend visiting family and having our baby shower, but it was a ton of fun! We had around 25 people at my parents house on Saturday; friends, family from both sides. It was great! Then yesterday we got to hang out with my family, and we went through some boxes of old Golden Books, and even found some books that were given to my grandmother in the 30’s! And my mom found my old baby quilt, and some special baby things that were saved. Today we hung out with my ILs, visited with H’s aunt who has been in a nursing rehab after some health troubles the last 4 months, and spent time with his sister. It’s been a really good long weekend visit.

Week: 32w2d
EDD: May 20
Team: Blue
Appointments: Every 2 weeks now which I feel is such a waste of my life and hard with my work schedule but I guess it won’t be much longer.
Milestones: None this week I don’t think.
Symptoms: Nausea in AM- still vomiting probably 1x a week, Heartburn, Constipation which I think is mostly related to the number of tums I have to take. My back hurts, the top of my belly hurts (I remember that with E- if I sit too long). Basically- nothing is fun, LoL.
Rants: I just in general feel pretty crappy, LoL. Pregnancy and I don’t really love each other.
Raves: I do feel really good about staying so active- I know that helps my aches and pains. I’m doing strength training 3x a week, Yoga 2x a week, a long walk 1 day and usually pool exercises 1 day. I think I’ve gained the same amount of weight as I did with E so far and I was active with that pregnancy too but I’ve really kept up the strength training this time and I think it’s making a difference.
Another rave- I have a prenatal massage I just need to schedule ☺️☺️🙌

sunny75 have you tried a weighted blanket for your RLS? I’ve heard it works really well for some people and given that your pregnant it’s an easy thing to try that isn’t a supplement or medication.

courtniko as miserable as I feel I’m trying to soak up the baby movements too because that’s the best part and this will 99% be our last baby which makes me a teeny bit sad even though I really hate being pregnant LoL.

I keep going between "wow, this has gone so fast, I can't believe it is almost over, so am up every last minute," and "oh my gosh, i can't take this any longer and i have so long till i am finally done." |
