Week/fruit/EDD: 29 weeks, EDD 7/31

FTM, etc: 4thTM

Appointments: I think this week I have one already! Man that every other week appointment switch snuck up on me.

Team: green

Milestones: 3rd tri

Symptoms: uncomfortable baby movements and lower back pain

Rants: I made an appointment with a chiropractor, I figured it might help my back pain and I have a feeling this babe is out of position so I'm hoping it might help with that too! I figure it can't hurt.

Raves: I solo parent my 3 kids on weekends and usually dread it, but we actually had a really good weekend this weekend. I was really sad to drop them off at daycare this morning. Also, I start school this week! I have one day a week commuting 2 hours each way, I'm nervous for that, but overall I'm really excited.

Week/fruit/EDD: 28 on Wednesday, due 8/14

FTM, etc.: STM

Appointments: next OB 6/10. Then switching to every other week.

Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): pink

Milestones: 3rd tri this week!

Symptoms: so much pelvic pressure. If I have an active day it is so bad at night. SO is already having to help me with my shoes sometimes. Fatigue. Some back pain. I feel huge already!

Rants: high tornado threat here today. All the schools are closed. It feels ominous. I love storms but I hate living in tornado alley. Plus, we live in a 2nd floor apartment so there’s not a great sheltering option..

Raves: I’m in nesting mode and we got quite a bit done this weekend. Crib should arrive today! 😁

Week/fruit/EDD: 27w3d a head of lettuce 8/16

FTM, etc: STM

Appointments: OB 5/23 - every 2 weeks now; tDAP at this next one

Team: Blue

Milestones: I’m counting myself as 3rd tri since I’m halfway through the week!

Symptoms: pelvic pain, occasional heartburn

Rants: all day work meetings this week.

Raves: potty training DS1 was a success over the weekend! Day 1 was really hard but he caught on quickly and we have not had a pee accident since. Poop is a different story, he really has not been successful with going on the potty yet. I sent him to school in underwear today. I’m worrying about him lol. But overall I would call it a success.

Week/fruit/EDD: 34+0/some large baguette/RCS June 26

FTM, etc: STM

Appointments: Wednesday

Team: Pink:)

Milestones: 5 weeks to go!

Symptoms: Same...nausea, fatigue, heartburn, hips and back are horrible!

Rants: I am super sick. Can barely swallow and I lost my voice...probably because my throat is so swollen. I feel like dirt. I'm staying in bed today and trying to convince DD to play with my mom (it's a holiday here so no school for DD today).

Raves: I think I have a plan to get everything I need done over the next few weeks. I just need to stop feeling like dirt so that I have some energy to do it all. I really want to start with my closet...put out all my nursing clothes and put away the clothes I won't be wearing for a while.

Week/fruit/EDD: 32w3d/cantaloupe/ July 12

FTM, etc: STM

Appointments: This Wednesday

Team: blue

Milestones: I’ve made it passed the point when I went into pre-term labor with DS

Symptoms: Heartburn, hip and pelvic pain, rib pain, back pain, swelling. I’m a hot mess.

Rants: I have very limited options for footwear because of the swelling. By the end of the day, my toes have bubbles in them and look like they could pop right off my feet. It’s really unattractive.

Raves: Our shower was yesterday and everyone was so generous. We are excited to get the nursery put together.

Week/fruit/EDD: 26w4d/butternut squash/ August 23

FTM, etc: STM

Appointments: N/A

Team: Green

Milestones: Baby seems to be moving into a better position! DH could see baby's wild movements. 

Symptoms: BH, low back pain, sciatica, fatigue, thirst, hunger, harder time breathing sometimes because baby likes to put their butt up by my ribs.

Rants: I walked to and from a lunch with some relatives and now I have to sit. My crotch does not approve of anything else. 

Rant/Rave: At the lunch my sister asked if I wanted a shower of sorts for this baby. Well yeah, I do want people to buy us stuff BUT I know it's selfish & maybe a little rude to ask for one so I said "well I figured if people wanted to do something for me, they would. She talked about a sip & see where people come over after the baby is born. I said I'm all for it if people bring me food! (I'm pretty shameless when it comes to asking for food lol) 
Anyone having a sprinkle/ sip n' see/whatever thingy?

[sammysam]

@kore I'm not big on showers so turned them all down with DD...but my mom did throw a family party when DD was 3 months old to introduce her to the family (we have a very large, very close extended family). Everyone was told not to bring anything but everyone did anyways. I loved it. I got to show DD off and all the stuff I got was for older babies (like 6 months+) so it lasted forever!

[cookswithwine]

@kore my mom wants to throw me a sprinkle. I feel weird about it though considering the no 2nd baby shower taboo. Friends have asked me if I’m doing anything though.
