How far along are you?: 29

How big is baby?: Gizmo

Any upcoming appointments this week?: Nope, last week friday I had one. I was used as a human pin cushion. No GD but I have low iron. BAH Any supplements that y'all have liked?

Any new symptoms or changes?: Shortness of breath. I have also been feeling nauseous again...

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: We finally carpeted our upstairs master bedroom so now we can get started on the nursery! I also FINALLY went through E's clothes... lol I don't remember him having so many damn clothes but holy cow.

GTKY: what is your favorite dessert? Apple crisp.

How far along are you?: 29w4d

How big is baby?: the size of a pineapple

Any upcoming appointments this week?: my weekly biophysical profile

Any new symptoms or changes?: I feel incredibly large and tired.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: my rant is that I get super exhausted quite easily. These last weeks of work are going to be hard. My rave is that I counted it up last night and I only have seven Mondays left of work if I'm able to get written off when I am aiming for.

GTKY: what is your favorite dessert? Do I really have to pick just one? I like a lot of desserts, but I guess I'll go with ice cream.

[BlahBlahGinger]

How far along are you?: 32 w, 3 d

How big is baby?: somewhere between squash and pineapple, I guess

Any upcoming appointments this week?: nope, had one last week to check placenta (still low)

Any new symptoms or changes?: not really, just getting winded and worn out more easily

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: still stressing about the possibility of a c-section (in addition to low placenta, baby is in a semi- breach/ transverse position). Otherwise, just chugging along.

GTKY: what is your favorite dessert? Don’t make me choose! I suppose if I have to pick, it’d be a brownie sundae (warm brownie, vanilla ice cream, hot fudge- no nuts).

How far along are you?: 30w2d

How big is baby?: cabbage??

Any upcoming appointments this week?: just a regular appt Wed.

Any new symptoms or changes?: I painted this weekend and am so sore! I also forgot how painful that damn tdap shot makes your arm. No real new symptoms

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: I don't think this baby has moved, so we are still traverse breech. BTDT with DD, so I'm not really hopeful in it flipping. I'm still wavering on the RCS decision and whether to just call it wed or in 2 weeks. I don't think I get another US until 36 weeks to confirm, so it's really just my best guess based on feeling, and ultimately my decision for surgery. Dr would like me to decide whether I want to try for vbac in the next 2 appts.

GTKY: what is your favorite dessert? I can never say no to a brownie with ice cream!

How far along are you?: 32 w 3 d

How big is baby?:Florida Pomelo

Any upcoming appointments this week?: I have an appointment Friday and a growth ultrasound.

Any new symptoms or changes?: last week my doctor commented that I’m swelling early and wants to start watching me for pre-e. My stomach is also measuring big for the first time so between that and IVF she wants to do an extra growth ultrasound to make sure everything is ok. H and I are both pretty tall so I wouldn’t be surprised if we have a long one in there.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: I’m just uncomfortable.

GTKY: what is your favorite dessert? Cake with cream cheese icing.

ldubhawksfan, talk about pressure! I can't believe we are far along enough now where we're at the point of saying "decide this NOW". AHH! Where did the time go!?

I know! Last appt when he asked if I remembered what symptoms of labor to call them about, I realized this is real! FYI: I didn't go into labor, so no! Haha

[babydsmama]

How far along are you?: 31w

How big is baby?: a croquembouche (looks like a pile of munchkins to me) or a head of romaine lettuce

Any upcoming appointments this week?: none until the 20th

Any new symptoms or changes?: reflux has started again...I forgot how much that sucks 😕 Zantac FTW!

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: nothing really right now! I started getting things together for my hospital bag and am prepping the number to Red Cross should I go into labor before my induction so that H can make it home in time! 🙏🙏
GTKY: what is your favorite dessert? Do I have to pick just one?! Love apple crisp in the fall. Strawberry shortcake in the summer!

[cakewench]

How far along are you?: 30w4d

How big is baby?: Butternut Squash (WTE) / Motorcycle helmet (Ovia)

Any upcoming appointments this week?: Just had one this past Thursday - quick check-in and everything is good. Next one in two weeks.

Any new symptoms or changes?: FINALLY found a dosing schedule for the iron supplements that works (every 2 days), so long as I take it smack in the middle of dinner with a big glass of OJ. Makes for some interesting flavor combinations, though...

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: We had family in town for my shower this past weekend - I'll AW it in the randoms thread lol. I will say my poor mom kept trying to feel kicks all weekend, and without fail he'd start kicking about 15-20 minutes after she would head back to the hotel. She wants to come down for my next sono so maybe then, since it will be a little quieter? (So much family in a short time span, in a small house...)

GTKY: what is your favorite dessert?: Right now it's reduced fat cookie dough ice cream. Tasty and easier on the reflux.

How big is baby?: Napa Cabbage

Any upcoming appointments this week?: Thursday morning we go back to the MFM to check on little man's kidney. Then I have a regular check up appointment in the afternoon.

Any new symptoms or changes?: None new. Still have a ton of acid reflux and BH. Lots of movement and looking large. Sleeping has gone in the toilet.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: I just hate how much I have been complaining this pregnancy. I feel bad for my husband who has to hear me whine all the time. I was never this bad the first time around but this pregnancy is so much tougher on my body I feel so sucky all the time.

GTKY: what is your favorite dessert? Let's just say there isn't too many desserts I don't like. But I do have ice cream just about every night after dinner.

[officedronette]

How far along are you?: 31w 4d

How big is baby?: A coconut? The comparisons never make much sense to me.

Any upcoming appointments this week?: BPP and growth on Friday

Any new symptoms or changes?: Nothing new. Reflux is present and gets worse weekly.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: I'm huge and uncomfortable. I'm scared that the way I get this baby out involves major surgery (even though I had a GREAT recovery last time!) and I'm so not looking forward to newborn sleep. But I also can't wait to meet D and get this show on the road.

GTKY: what is your favorite dessert? Like many others, I have a huge sweet tooth and love pretty much all desert (especially anything chocolate or peanut butter based). But if I have to pick a one true love, it's probably ice cream since it's the desert I eat most consistently. What I'd like most right now is to make a batch of King Arthur GF brownies and eat the entire pan. The amount I can tolerate with the GD is not remotely satisfying my binging instincts.

[Waffle]

How far along are you?: 29w3d

How big is baby?: pineapple

Any upcoming appointments this week?: Had one this morning, everything ok. Baby girl isn't head down but apparently doesn't have to be yet. Got prescriptions for midwife visit, 3rd trimester scan, thyroid blood test, whooping cough vaccines and all my meds. So much paper! OBGYN also confirmed that if everything goes according to plan, I'll be induced around 13/12 at the brand new hospital closest to home and spend two nights there.

Any new symptoms or changes?: My right nipple is all white again And my belly feels a bit bigger every day.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: I'm really tired. I wake up multiple times a night to pee then get all 3am anxious and struggle getting back to sleep. I'm really busy at work and we're running around like crazy every evening. I need a day or two of nothing.

GTKY: what is your favorite dessert? Anything with chocolate.

[jenn83]

I promise you guys I have been lurking and keeping up. I am just horrible at getting on Tapatalk and work has been crazy. Anyone else freaking out that it is right around the corner???

How far along are you?: 32 weeks today

How big is baby?: Plastic scooter board - like those old school ones from P.E. back in elementary

Any upcoming appointments this week?: I had one on Monday. More on that in the rants

Any new symptoms or changes?: Starting to swell in my left ankle at the end of the day. Other than that, the normal feeling of hugeness and being done. Oh and contractions!! I know they are Braxton Hicks, but I never really had any like this with my other two. Every time I walk, contraction. Activity, contraction. Like seriously.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: I had a rotation with another doctor in the practice. I am 32 weeks today so this was a little shy. She measured my belly at 30 almost 31. She didn't seem concerned. The last appointment before that, they had a training nurse practitioner and she measured my belly without the doctor in the room at 29 when I was 30. I usually have big babies so it concerns me slightly. I am ready to see my regular doctor on the 23rd.

GTKY: what is your favorite dessert? Hands down - Creme Brulee

[kensie5226]

How far along are you?: 33 tomorrow.

How big is baby?: 4lb, 7oz according to the growth scan today!

Any upcoming appointments this week?: I'm officially on weekly appointments for NSTs and fluid checks. This baby will be here in less than 6 weeks!

Any new symptoms or changes?: My asthma went all haywire and I had to go on steroids and then I had food poisoning or a stomach bug over the weekend. I feel like that is really unfair. Pregnancy-wise I'm just feeling slow.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: NO 32 week pregnant lady should have a stomach bug!!!! Oh also, MH just figured out that two kids is going to be way more work.

GTKY: what is your favorite dessert? Creme Brulee.
