How far along are you? 26w1d
Appointments coming up? I have a private 4D bonding ultrasound this Saturday. SO excited. Can't wait to see her little face and to see how she's measuring up!
How are you feeling? Get my hot flush moments quite a lot but as long as I have my water bottle and somewhere to sit I'm normally ok. Tired mostly, need to eat every 2-3 hours and my heartburn is nasty
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nada
QOTW: Summer is winding down (say what?!) What are you looking forward to for fall? We've still got summer weather for another month or so yet. I'm looking forward to autumn (lol I'm British) more as it's cooler weather, and that means it's very close to baby time for us. Starts getting cooler around late September here.

How far along are you? 24w1d
Appointments coming up? GTT on 8/14
How are you feeling? Feeling ok, getting heartburn a lot recently. Last night it woke me up. Also getting awful awful leg cramps in the night.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I was measuring 25w when I was 23w3d last week. I got all worried but I guess it happens sometimes
QOTW: Summer is winding down (say what?!) What are you looking forward to for fall? Cooler weather. We didnt have much of a winter last year in FL so hoping this year we have cooler temps. It has been brutal this summer. I also love football and cookouts when it is cool.

How are you feeling? Tired and heartburn is so bad. But good other than that!
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nope.
QOTW: Summer is winding down (say what?!) What are you looking forward to for fall? HALLOWEEN obviously. I can't wait until I can go full Griswald and decorate when the kids in our cul-de-sac are a bit older. I don't want to put anything too scary up just yet.

How far along are you? 24+2
Appointments coming up? Had one this morning! Now nothing until the end of August.
How are you feeling? Ok. Sleep is getting more tedious and my pelvis is hurting a lot more. This kid needs to work her up higher before all my pelvic joint pop apart.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Got my GTT drink and my second tri packet of reading- tdap/PPD/kick count/signs of labor info, flyers for birth classes and support groups. The NP I saw today also comment that I've lost weight since my last appointment. Yup, I have. I seem to have picked up a super fun case of the never ending pregnancy shits and have managed to lose over 2lbs (just one according to their scale). I'm not complaining and they aren't concerned, but she made sure to note it. This particular NP mentions scheduling me an RCS every time she sees me too. Nope, sorry, you're not my doctor, I'm pushing for a VBAC so drop it, lady.
QOTW: Summer is winding down (say what?!) What are you looking forward to for fall? NOOOOOOO. NO. NO. Summer is NOT over. I still have a month left. Do no take my vacation away from me yet!I'm not very excited to go back to the particular middle school I'm in for fall semester, so I guess having this kid so I can take a couple of months off and have limited middle school teaching this year.

How far along are you? 25+2
Appointments coming up? Not until next week- 2 hour GTT and regular OB appt
How are you feeling? Not bad. Lower back pain, weirdly tired this weekend, and heartburn is yucky. But mostly not bad.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nope
QOTW: Summer is winding down (say what?!) What are you looking forward to for fall? Omg I love fall. I cannot wait to decorate. I'm so excited. We are in our new house and I'm going all out. And I just ordered some new fall candles. Yasss.
Unfortunately end of Sept/early Oct is generally the hottest part of the year here, so not looking forward to that. Triple digits. BUT we have AC which will be amazing!

Also baby is a strong kicker. Looks like I'm going to have yet another soccer player on the way!

How far along are you? 24w3d
Appointments coming up? Nothing until the end of August.
How are you feeling? Pretty good overall, but my lower back is killing me. It gets progressively worse throughout the day, some nights I can barely move.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I transferred to an OB since my MW can't do VBAC deliveries. She went over all the risks/benefits of VBAC - some of the potential risks are pretty scary but I know they're very rare. I really liked her overall.
QOTW: Summer is winding down (say what?!) What are you looking forward to for fall? I'm excited for football! My family has season tickets for the Packers. My brother and I split games, so we have 3 planned. I'll be 30w for the first game, 36w for the second 😬, and I may or may not go to our third game which is on Dec 3rd.

How far along are you? 25w 6d
Appointments coming up? Gestational diabetes test sometime this week (whenever I feel like it)
How are you feeling? I had a night last week where I switched from 'good!' to 'oh yeah, I'm pregnant' that involved being awake for an hour +, a leg cramp and leaky boobs. But it seemed to improve again after that. I've been sleeping well still. Feel crappy today though, see weekly chat thread for complaints.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Appointment last week went well, everything is measuring on track still. She also went over all the stuff to look out for.
QOTW: Summer is winding down (say what?!) What are you looking forward to for fall? Okay, I disagree that summer is winding down, kids don't go back to school here until after labour day. It's supposed to be a hot week here this week. We don't really have anything particularly summery planned coming up, but I don't want to rush it. I think I'm just looking forward to getting closer to baby time! Hopefully we'll be able to decorate and hand out some candy for Halloween.

I want to like PSLs, but (grandma time) they are just so sweet! I think last year they had some sort of spiced flat white that I quite enjoyed though

I think last year they had some sort of spiced flat white that I quite enjoyed though Possible UO, but Wegmans makes a better PSL than Starbucks. Bring it on, haters. I'll fight you. The flat white is good. I'm curious to try the Cascara thing. It sounds like something I'd enjoy.

How far along are you? 26 weeks today
Appointments coming up? Regular OB appointment tomorrow and then my last Level II US on Friday for babies and fluid measurements
How are you feeling? Good for the most part. It's been 80 and not humid the past couple days, which is glorious!! I think I have a pulled muscle in my upper left stomach. It hurts to sneeze or cough.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nope
QOTW: Summer is winding down (say what?!) What are you looking forward to for fall? Everything! Fall is my favorite!

blabbermouth I agree. Summer is really just beginning here and school starts the same time as you. But it's moving way too fast! I can't believe it's going to be August already!

The flat white is good. I'm curious to try the Cascara thing. It sounds like something I'd enjoy. I had a cascara latte when they came out this winter and it was really good. A nice light sweetness. If I get a PSL from Starbucks I always ask for it with half the pumps of syrup. I do that with most drinks. I actually prefer making my own PSLs. And now that I have the Ninja coffee system, which I am obsessed with, I foresee a lot of those happening over my maternity leave.

How far along are you? 24w2d
Appointments coming up? Next Thursday
How are you feeling? Hungry. Getting over my cold, just a lingering gross sounding cough. No more spotting since last week. I think my vagina might be broken when it comes to sex, which kind of sucks.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? N/A
QOTW: Summer is winding down (say what?!) What are you looking forward to for fall? Halloween. Sweater weather. Pumpkin desserts. Colorful leaves. Scarves. Thanksgiving. Baby.

How far along are you? 25w+
Appointments coming up? Not until 8/17
How are you feeling? This heat can go, I'm struggling with breathing with the heat, dry nose, and my lung capacity decreasing as this baby takes over. Oh and I have a lovely hemi, so that is going to be awesome to deal with for the next 15 weeks. 😢😤 I got one with DS3 around 33w that hey were talking about removing. It was bad. I'm not to that point with this one and am hoping it doesn't get worse. My belly belt needs to make more appearances. Things we deal with to bring tiny people into this world is, at times, beyond comprehension.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? My OB suggested Tylenol PM or Benadryl to help me get to sleep at night. I'm on this cycle of mid-day exhaustion, I push through most days (some I nap) and then I can't sleep at night.
QOTW: Summer is winding down (say what?!) What are you looking forward to for fall? Fall is my absolute favorite. I love watch the leaves change colors. Apple cider - got my first gallon this past weekend. Pumpkin patch. Soups and stew. Sweaters. Sweatshirts. Crisp fall air. Cinnamon scents.

clucky I can commiserate with the hemi probs 😕 I had one bad last pregnancy that I considered surgery with as well. Nothing yet this pregnancy so far, but I know it's only a matter of time. I'm stocked up on all the wipes and creams in preparation lol

I'm stocked up on all the wipes and creams in preparation lol I'm most worried that once this baby settles head down, it is going to get significantly worse. With DS3 it was so bad my OB put me on modified bed rest becysitting at work was making it worse. Luckily I was able to work from home, laying down on the couch. I had a hard time getting up on my own and with help it about brought me to tears. Luckily it was literally gone by the time I made it up to PP, but the proctologist said she often does L&D calls.

How far along are you? 25 weeks tomorrow Appointments coming up? My next one isn't scheduled until 28 weeks and includes all the fun stuff...rhogam, tdap, and glucose test How are you feeling? Feeling good just gradually getting larger but can't complain. Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? We have a 3 vessel cord baby!!! That was a huge relief to dh and I. QOTW: Summer is winding down (say what?!) What are you looking forward to for fall? Well besides this fall baby I'm looking forward to watching football regularly and hopefully getting some cooler weather but we can't always count on that here in the south.

How far along are you? 26+5
Appointments coming up? Not until Thursday the 10th.
How are you feeling? Contractions. Puffy ankles. Out of breath. Can't bend over/lean forward. All-night dance parties in my uterus. Basically: I'm approaching third trimester. Had a headache the last two days and my BP today was 133/91, but I'm hopeful that's just because of vacation/possibly having caught the cold that DD picked up at the cottage. Will reassess on the weekend.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nada. Haven't had an appointment in forever!
QOTW: Summer is winding down (say what?!) What are you looking forward to for fall? EVERYTHING. Except the smell of cinnamon permeating everything, because I am allergic to cinnamon so that part of September through February is pretty lousy. But I cannot wait for sweater weather, pumpkin pie, apple picking, Thanksgiving, leaves changing, the smell of autumn, crisp mornings and warm afternoon sun. Fall is my thing.
ETA: And my birthday! I am laughing at myself for forgetting this. October is actually the best month because there are so many birthdays: MIL the 6th, BFF the 9th, DH the 10th, me the 16th. It's a good month. I eat so much cake.
