FTM, Etc: #4
Appointments: Two weeks from today. I had one this morning + my GTT
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Pink
Milestones:
Symptoms: Same ol, same ol.
Rants: Meh, just trying to pack things up to move with 3 kids running around and being in third trimester...it's a bit chaotic. Right now, I should be doing that but my energy is dragging. I miss having energy. I feel like such a sloth.
Raves: My kids did great at my appointment, which is always a win!
GTKY: what's your favorite way to relax? Reading, if I can find a good book. Especially if that reading involves a trip to the beach or a comfy spot outside. I also love taking walks to relax.

Week/Fruit/EDD: 27/bunch of bananas/Oct 7 FTM, Etc: 3 Appointments: in 8 days Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): green Milestones: baby’s brain is sending electrical signals to regulate stuff. Symptoms: just growing and slowing down Rants: this kid flipped on me and all the awesome high up kicks are now super low flutters  I even went to L&D one night bc I got worried that the movement decreased but they said everything was fine and it was just a position change. Hoping it flips back soon. Raves: I’m enjoying the streak of nice weather we’ve been having. GTKY: what's your favorite way to relax? Walking back and forth in a pool. |

Week/Fruit/EDD: 28w 5d/ Eggplant/ September 25
FTM, Etc: FTM
Appointments: July 31
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Blue
Milestones: Still jazzed to be in 3rd tri!
Symptoms: Just aching, a little tired, tailbone is angry
Rants: Got my blood drawn for glucose on Friday, which I failed, so I was hoping to hear from my doctor if she was ordering my 3 hour test as my
Only day off until the weekend is tomorrow. I called and had them send her a message, it’s difficult to fit an 8 hour fast into a normal schedule and I’d like to just get it over with.
Raves: Glad I got my Tdap over and done with. I’m such a weenie, and my shoulder is finally starting to feel better. Hooray no more Tdap for another 10 years! 🙌🏻
GTKY: what's your favorite way to relax? Probably swimming. Pool or ocean, it doesn’t matter. Growing up next to the ocean has definitely had a huge effect on me, I immediately feel better when I hear waves and feel sand. Searching for seashells too will always be a wonderful way to detach from worry.

Week/Fruit/EDD: 27w1d/Oct 6
FTM, Etc: 3tm
Appointments: Wednesday growth scan, next Monday regular obgyn and glucose test
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): pink
Milestones: close to third trimester
Symptoms: tired, large, round ligament pain, lots of movement
Rants: I am unnecessarily obsessing over the circumference of baby girl's head. It was 23 percent at 19 weeks and then 13 percent at 23 weeks. The doctors weren't worried, but I am really hoping it's gone up and more in alignment with her other measurements (50ish percentile) on Wednesday. I should not be allowed to read detailed ultrasound reports
Raves: I don't know if I mentioned before, but my low lying placenta had moved up at my last appointment and I was cleared for vaginal delivery--so relieved. This baby moves alot. I think more than my boys did. Can't wait to meet her and see what her personality is like.
GTKY: anything outside. I love hiking when the weather is nice and I'm not largely pregnant.

peggyhill good luck with the 3 hour! FYI, if you guys are thinking of another kid, you get a DTaP every pregnancy. The whooping cough portion is only good for a year

Week/Fruit/EDD: 26w / butternut squash / Oct 14
FTM, Etc: STM
Appointments: 1 hr glucose this week
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): 💙
Milestones: the baby's eyes are open, and I moved into 100% maternity workout pants. LOLOLOL
Symptoms: Dizziness, pelvic pressure, constant peeing...nothing too bad, but I'm sure it's all coming once 3rd tri hits
Rants: I feel so weird saying that I have no complaints right now. We can't figure out a middle name, I guess, but aside from the suggestion of our dog's middle name, we haven't even talked about it much. Maybe I'll bring it up tonight so we can hash it out. I know my mom is dying to know what to call this kid.
Raves: I know I was on here bitching about the cost of newborn photos, but I decided to get maternity photos done as well. 🤣I didn't get any taken with my son because I gained so much weight and just hated how I looked and pregnancy in general. It just wasn't a time I wanted to remember. But I'm feeling so much better about it/myself this time around. AND we're going to be in Hawaii and I wanted to get some family photos taken, so I figure why the hell not. I found a photographer who has prices I can afford and will do a whole family/maternity/birthday for my son shoot for us. I don't even know what I'll end up doing with the maternity pics - it's not like I'm going to put them on the wall or anything. But I just like having professional photos whenever I can. Anyway, I guess my rave is that even as 3rd tri is closing in, I'm still kinda feeling myself, which is unexpected because I pretty much wanted to hide in a closet with a bag on my head during my last pregnancy.
GTKY: what's your favorite way to relax?: Reading, mostly. But really just having any kind of alone, quiet time. I'm a huge introvert and being around people drains me, so any time I can be by myself is so relaxing to me.

peggyhill good luck with the 3 hour! FYI, if you guys are thinking of another kid, you get a DTaP every pregnancy. The whooping cough portion is only good for a year They did tell me that! But H is almost 100% sure he’s one and done, and depending on birth and the newborn phase I may feel the same. If he magically changes his mind I guess ill have to get it again, but I’m thinking we’re done after this little man gets here! |

Week/Fruit/EDD: 31w2d, romaine lettuce, 9/8 but they want to deliver me at 37 weeks of she stays small.
FTM, Etc: 2TM
Appointments: We had a doppler scan yesterday then met with a neonatal doctor to discuss NICU just in case.
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Pink
Milestones:
Symptoms: Heartburn, peeing a lot, back pain, hip pain
Rants: So many appointments now. I think we're adding twice a week NSTs soon. H and I decided to transfer our care to another children's hospital (one of the best in the country) but I need to call and get everything scheduled. It's 30 minutes from my house and over an hour from my work so it's going to be tough. We're just a lot more comfortable with the new place for after baby is born, especially if she needs extra care or NICU.
Raves: We finally got the nursery painted and furniture built. Next I want to get the baby clothes out of the basement so I can wash and organize her closet. Also need to order some stuff off my Amazon registry
GTKY: what's your favorite way to relax? I love being by the water. Unfortunately I haven't been able to do that in a long time.

Week/Fruit/EDD: 25+1, napa cabbage, oct 22
FTM, Etc: TTM
Appointments: GDS on Tuesday, midwife next Thursday
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): green
Milestones: hair colour?
Symptoms: nothing new thankfully! Feeling pretty good right now
Rants: I just wish DS would sleep better. Pregnancy makes me tired enough, add to that packing and moving, getting up at least once to pee being woken at least once more by a kid (alternates which kid and I don’t always have to get up/go in but it still wakes me) and then DS being bright eyed and bushy tailed ready to go for the day at or before 6? I’m tired!!! We have tried introducing a grow clock and he is kinda getting the idea but he’s also only 21 months so 🤷🏽♀️
Raves: DH finally was able to feel baby move! It’s actually a pretty active baby but it would always stop when he tried 😂 Plus the position of my placenta kinda muffles the feeling from the outside
GTKY: what's your favorite way to relax? A bath with a bubble bar, snack/drink and Netflix! Or also snuggled on the couch with a book or Netflix and my cozy blanket.

I even went to L&D one night bc I got worried that the movement decreased but they said everything was fine and it was just a position change. Hoping it flips back soon.
