It's Monday right? I can't keep anything straight anymore.

Week/EDD: 34w 1d

Baby is the size of: Cantaloupe or something

FTM, Etc: STM, DS1 is 2

Team: Blue

Appointments: Tomorrow. FX I don't have mildly high blood pressure again.

Milestones: Can't sleep worth a dang anymore.

Symptoms: Headaches from not sleeping, waddling, back aches, I feel like a whale trying to roll over in bed.

Rants: Not much, just tired. Trying to get housework done, we've been running like crazy lately getting stuff done for my mom. We've been up early a lot lately. DH is going to start field work, but he's got to change oil and work on the tiller.

Raves: We got all our feed sold! Just waiting for the last of it to get hauled off and to be paid. Never has a crop been this much of pain.

[bonzo]

Week/EDD: 32+4, EDD 6/6

Baby is the size of: a squash (but what kind, pregnancy app? Squash come in so many sizes!)

FTM, Etc: FTM

Team: blue 💙

Appointments: none this week

Milestones: just 8 more weeks or so!

Symptoms: nothing new

Rants: nothing today (yay!)

Raves: after prenatal yoga on Sat, a bunch of us went out to brunch. It was our first time getting together after class, and it was so fun to chat and connect with other ladies! I’ve really been craving that connection, and it’s such a good feeling to finally be finding it.

Week/EDD: 36+3, 5/10

Baby is the size of: a cabbage patch doll

FTM, Etc: TTM, DS is 2, and DD is 4

Team: green

Appointments: Friday, weekly now, including NSTs

Milestones: Less than a month till my due date!

Symptoms: I am so physically exhausted all the time. And I am sleepy tired too, but of course can't sleep well at night. Heartburn is so bad.

Rants: I wish I had more energy. I have so much I need to do, and just can't get it done. Still need to pack a hospital bag, eek. I had a bit of a scare this weekend when I fell down the last 2 stairs at home, and DH was saying we really need the bag packed at this point, but we still did not get to it.

Raves: My NST on Friday was great. Baby is still measuring small, but not enough to be worried. And really, I am not going to complain about baby being a bit small.
On our hospital tour they mentioned it is now common procedure to do delayed cord clamping (just within the last year). I did that with my first 2, but I am always happy to hear that something like that now does not even need to be asked for, one less thing to think about during labor.

[courtniko]

bonzo, so glad you had a nice brunch after yoga. I know you have been looking for other pregnants to spend some time with, that is so great that worked out!


quinstar, that is great all the feed is sold off, I am sure that is a big relief!

[sunny75]

Week/EDD: 36w4d. RCS may 2

Baby is the size of: a papaya? That seems so small!

STM

Team green

Appointments: tomorrow morning. I'm hoping it's my last appointment but I may have one the week after that

Milestones: early term this week when I reach 37 weeks

Symptoms: Feeling so grumpy and done with everybody and everything. It's too early for that so I need to get it together!

Rants: I've really been caught off guard how crappy I've been feeling these past few days because I never felt this bad with my first pregnancy. It's not really even being more tired because I still get plenty of rest when DD naps and I'm working less. It's just more of my body just not being able to handle all the extra weight and pregnancy hormones. It's making me sad because I really want a third but after this pregnancy I'm not sure if I could handle it.

Raves: I've had quite a few people recently tell me they think I'm having a girl so and I've been really starting to imagine having two girls which would be so much fun. Now we just need to decide for sure on our girl name.

[sunny75]

Ugh sammysam, I'm sorry you're feeling so bad. I hope you get to go out on sick leave soon.

[Deleted]

sammysam if you are feeling that bad, I’d definitely ask for the note. You probably aren’t very productive anyway when you are feeling so crappy. You need to look after yourself! I hope you are feeling better soon. 🙂

[bonzo]

I ended up seeing the OB this afternoon because I was having some spotting. Turns out my cervix looked irritated, but other than that everything looks good. It was a huge relief that it’s nothing to worry about.

[quinstar]

bonzo , I'm glad it was nothing! That's really nerve-wracking.

[bonzo]

quinstar, it was! It was very little blood, but still. I need baby to stay inside for another 7 weeks, and the thought of anything changing that was freaking me out!

[Deleted]

I am glad to hear everything is ok bonzo! Spotting can be so scary!

[sammysam]

bonzo I'm glad everything is ok. Any type of bleeding no matter how little is so so stressful. Especially this far along. I'm glad everything is looking good.

[sammysam]

sunny75 I'm sorry you're feeling so cappy too. Why does it seem so much harder than the first time around??? Gah. On the girl front...I'm so excited to have another girl. My sister and I are almost 4 years apart and despite finding her super annoying growing up, we are so close now and talk about everything. I was hoping for a second girl:)

[quinstar]

Ok, wow like yesterday all of this sudden I feel like a house. My belly is huge, I caught a glimpse of myself in a full length mirror and... wow.

But the belly just seems to have grown past my center of gravity or something, because it's out there and it's heavy. I felt like DS1 was tucked in nice and tight until the very, very last, but this one is way out there already. And he kicks and pushes so much my belly actually hurts. I need to take another bump pic soon, maybe for Easter when I'm dressed up.

Oh, I was going to add a bump pic option on the form, I forgot. Maybe next week for those who want to share?

[mamabear02]

quinstar, when this little guy gets going it really hurts too! A friend was telling me how much she loved baby kicks and I’m not even thoroughly enjoying them bc of how much it hurts.

[sammysam]

I didn't even have to ask...my OB wrote me a note immediately when he saw me today to stop working. I told work I would stay until next Thursday to finish off the last difficult unit we have left but then I'm off until mat leave starts. I'm so glad. I don't know why I'm having such a hard time this go round.

[mamabear02]

sammysam, I’m sorry you’re having a hard time, but glad you’re going to be able to take it a little easier these last couple months!

[sunny75]

bonzo, I'm glad everything turned out ok with the bleeding scare!

[sunny75]

sammysam, I'm glad you got let off work. Hopefully you start feeling better when you can stay home and not have to be at work all day.

[courtniko]

sammysam, glad you were able to get off. This pregnancy has definitely been way harder on me as well. I just feel so much more run down than in my.previous pregnancies.
