Week/fruit/EDD: 24w3d, cantelope, 11/8 (RCS 11/1)
FTM, etc: 3TM
Appointments: 8/12 for GD test and OB
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Pink!
Milestones: Viability!
Symptoms: headaches, exhaustion, short temper, some swelling, hot all the time
Rants: I feel huge right now like I should be 10 weeks further along. The next 14/15 weeks should be super fun
Raves: We leave for the beach toward the end of this week! My sister and her family and my parents will be there so I'm hoping I can get a little time alone to relax without kids hanging all over me.
GTKY: Do you and your SO plan to have any more kids or are you done after this one? I am pretty sure this is the last one for me. DH wants to leave the door open but I just turned 40 plus this pregnancy I've had the worst anxiety by far with this pregnancy and I don't think I can go through another pregnancy like this or worse.

Week/fruit/EDD: 22w4d/bell pepper/Nov 21
FTM, etc: 3tm
Appointments: nothing this week besides shot on Wednesday
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): blue
Milestones: H felt a kick for the first time
Symptoms: rib soreness, rlp
Rants: none
Raves: today is T's birthday!
GTKY: Do you and your SO plan to have any more kids or are you done after this one?
Undecided. H wants to try again for a girl but I don't know that I will agree to that. A girl isn't (obviously) garunteed and while my body seems to tolerate pregnancy pretty well, the weekly shots are a bummer and I'm not sure my OB's thoughts on me having a fourth c-section.

Week/fruit/EDD: 17w / pomegranate/ 12/30
FTM, etc: STM
Appointments: chiropractor this week, no doctor visits until August
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): blue
Milestones: My mom pat my belly for the first time yesterday. Ugh I hate that. Don't touch me. Of course she "asked" while her hand was a half inch from touching. Don't touch me!
Symptoms: Not too many. Random movement every once in a while but mostly I'm not sure I feel pregnant.
Rants: I'm thankful for a great relationship with my new therapist but my anxiety is over the top in the last week. I'm snipping and lashing out at Mh and I wish my brain could get it together.
Raves: We're going to see The Lion King tonight! Sitter, IMAX screen and all
GTKY: Do you and your SO plan to have any more kids or are you done after this one? Done, done, done. We are so done. I think this pregnancy's been a little easier, overall, this far because I won't have to do it again.

Week/fruit/EDD: 21 weeks, 12/3
FTM, etc: 3rd
Appointments: None any time soon
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Pink
Milestones: My H felt the baby move!
Symptoms: Shortness of breath, some numbness in my hands.
Rants: Short version- H has been working long hours and not home most evenings to help with dinner/bath/bed and it sucks. Also, I’m in a community choir and the shortness of breath is really making it difficult for me to do all the singing/standing lately. I don’t want to take a break from it (it’s the main thing I get to do for me every week), but it’s hard not to be able to give it 100%.
Raves:
GTKY: Do you and your SO plan to have any more kids or are you done after this one? I am 99.99999999% sure this is the last baby. My H has said “well maybe 4 kids to have an even number” but I don’t know if he’s serious. MY plan is for him to get a vasectomy after this baby’s 1st birthday.

sundog, my DH works some late nights too and it's getting harder for me to do everything at night too. Between my exhaustion and lack of patience I feel like I'm being a bad mom most nights.

notblanche I got my first unsolicited belly touching this weekend and it was SO WEIRD. One was my mom and another (two times!!) was a guy my H was golfing with. Why do people feel the need to touch?? I don’t even have a big bump yet!

sarahh I hear you on feeling like a bad mom, especially with the lack of patience. Sorry you’re feeling that way, too! Will your H’s schedule change much in the coming months or is he working those long hours all the time?

sundog, he usually only works 1 or 2 late nights for his 8-5 job but runs his own business on the side so there is no telling how many late nights for that. I told him once the baby is here, he needs to cut way back on his personal company business at least for a few months. What about yours?

sarahh ahhh, gotcha. A few of my H’s team members are in China and India so he does late nights talking with them. He’s a software engineer and can work from home but lately he hasn’t. Plus he recently switched roles at work and is trying to do more in the office (and maybe try to impress his new manager? Idk anymore).

I had my appt with MFM this week. They confirmed I have an abnormal cord insertion. Like only 1% of singleton pregnancies have it, lucky me. Its called velamentous cord insertion. It may not cause any issues, but it can lead to IUGR or require a csection. I'll get extra monitoring by both OB and MFM so we can make sure baby girl is still growing alright!
The good news is everything with baby looks perfect so I'm so thankful there! And her weight is good for now.
