I am up like 32lbs 😞 I gained 46 with G. Thankfully this month I have only gained 2. I am hoping to keep that up until the end so that I don’t gain too much more. 9 weeks to go!

I am up 15 lbs. The doctor looked at me like I was crazy when I asked if that was normal. I didn't know, I've never done this before lol. I'm actually surprised that's all it is with my unlimited supply of cupcakes, muffins and butter tarts.
Living the good life over here!

I noticed that baby boys movements have been lower in my abdomen today. Then I sort of felt around and realized his whole body has shifted downwards. He is no longer as high up as he was. I still have 9 weeks to go which means I am going to be walking around like I have a bowling ball between my legs soon.

All this weight gain talk!
I’m up 18 lbs from the day I found out I was pg. I’m tracking the same as my other pregnancies and will gain about 30-35. I’m not worried.

peachesncream my OB had me add in fiber gummies daily. I take 2 stool softeners each day and add Miralax once a day if it's unbearable

Does anyone know how to spoiler? I've never tried it but I saved instructions from TCF days which I'm assuming would work here. [*spoiler] trigger-y story [/*spoiler] *remove the asterisks |

I didn't make it to the clinic for lab work because I got caught up in grading. I'm hoping they can just draw it at my OB office tomorrow since they have access to my chart (all same overarching clinic). That or I'll walk across the parking lot to the regular clinic and have it done. Since I haven't had any seizure activity, I'm really in no rush.
I found out today I'm being honored at a university volleyball game as an outstanding educator to one of the players. While I should be excited about this all I can think of is how sore I'll be from sitting on uncomfortable bleachers all night.

24w team green, and I've only gained 6lbs. I gained over 50 with DS, but I started at a higher weight this time and I'm not craving the same quantity of food as I did with him.  |

I would feel weird having the same nursery for multiple kids too, but I know it isn't that weird, lots of people do it. Keep pushing for new paint, if the walls are scratched up it isn't "just to change the color". I just feel like it's not that big of an ask. We're not getting new furniture at all. Hell the only new furniture we bought for DD1s big girl room was the bed/mattress. The rest is all hand me down or repurposed. So I'm just not sure why he's acting like it is. If it's about the actual painting.... I'll paint. Doesn't bother me. Yeah if you’re willing to do the work, then not sure why he cares...? We are using the exact same nursery for baby boy 2 as was (well currently still is) DS’s and it doesn’t bother me in the slightest but I also agree it’s not a big ask to want to re-paint. MH wouldn’t want to do the work but he wouldn’t care if I painted or paid someone to do it. |

I’m up 23. My doctor mentioned it. Sigh. I started this pregnancy at a much lower weight so I still feel like I’m doing pretty well! I am concerned about GD, though...

I'm really upping my post count today... Any recs on comfy slip on boots for the winter? I have nice riding boots, booties, etc but none are as comfy as I'd like (although they are fine for work and everything). And none are slip on, most have a zipper. Before, the end of my pregnancy was summer time, so I just wore flip flops. I'm thinking of something like these Toms boots. Does anyone have them or something similar? I would love Uggs but I'm not going to be paying quite that much! I also don't necessarily want imitation Uggs. (Does this make me a brand name snob?!) The DV boots from Target are great! I love Dolce Vita shoes but they’re so expensive. I also love these for casual. I got them for maybe $55 so the price obviously fluctuates. They’re very comfortable for walking around and even water resistant! Teva Women's W Delavina Suede Ankle Boot, Black Olive, 8 M US www.amazon.com/dp/B00PS28RAA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_2Qr8zb68B211A |

I'm being paranoid. DS is being a level 4 clinger because he's getting a cold and was elbowing my tummy despite my asking him not to. I'm now having what I'm assuming are a few BH contractions. Trying to lay down and praying DH hurries home because DS doesn't understand and is climbing all over me. Maybe I'm dreaming and it's baby stretching.

28 weeks today! Hello 3rd trimester! I’m up 6 pounds. I gained a total of 5 with DS. Doc said my weight gain was right in target yesterday. I’m overweight to begin with so I guess I shouldn’t gain much. One other doc said I hadn’t gained enough so 🤷♀️. I’m not worried either way. Here I am in my comfy travel clothes. We’ve had a day. There was a bad accident in Orlando and we missed our flight because of it. It took us 3 hours to get to the airport instead of 1. They tried to charge us $2,000+ to rebook bc we now aren’t leaving the same day. Um. That’s bc so many people missed flights bc of the traffic that the rest of today’s flights booked up. Not my fault. Now we’re leaving tomorrow and have an overnight layover in Denver and will be getting to Portland at 1pm Friday. We have to now go directly to the lodge for the rehearsal dinner. We lost 2 days of our vacation. I’m so bummed.  |

28w3d with baby boy!  I’ve gained almost 40 so far. 😳 gained about 45 total with DD so I guess this is on track. My doctor said you gain it differently with subsequent pregnancies— like I hadn’t gained any & then I packed on like 20 lbs in 2 months lol & haven’t gained really any in the past month. So we will see. I’m not stressing about it— I’m working out regularly & eating really healthy so it is what it is! My mom gained a lot with all of her pregnancies too & I had no issues losing it all with DD so trying to stay in a positive headspace lol. ETA— also my boobs OMG. I was a 36-B before DD, made it to 36-C while pregnant & was a 36-D while nursing her. My boobs almost shrunk to smaller than that after I finished nursing her. But now I’m already wearing 36-D bras that feel snug sooooo idk lol. |

I’m jealous of everyone’s boob! 😂 Mine didn’t grow when I was pregnant with DS, grew when I was breastfeeding him for 19 months and now they’re smaller than ever! I don’t even fill out my bras! 😫

I don’t even fill out my bras! 😫 Mine did not grow at all with DD and I felt like I got screwed over. EVERYTHING else got bigger, except for my boobs. I’m just waiting for the leaky boobs to start. That was always fun. I’ve been wearing nursing bras to bed so I don’t wake up to my boobs stuck to my shirts because that shit is painful! 😳 |

My boobs have gotten so big this time they are too big for the cups on my biggest nursing bras I had from my last two. I'm trying to decide if it's worth holding out and keep squishing them into the cups the last 2-3 months because they are going to change so much again after bahhh.

dragonflyinn I think you look adorable.  I ate like complete crap with my first pregnancy, never worked out (give me allll the onion rings) and gained 19 pounds. Worked out an insane amount and ran a half marathon at 23 weeks with the second, ate super healthy, and gained 20 pounds. Pregnancy 3 I was somewhere in the middle of those two eating and exercise, and gained 30 pounds. Bodies are weird.
