How far along are you? EDD? (Adjust wording to outside babies if you wish!)
30 weeks/Jan 16
Team?
Green
How big is baby?
Motorcycle helmet.
Symptoms/rants/raves:
Lots and lots of big movement, rib kicks. Some pelvic pain but not as bad as it was. Oddly physically better than I thought I would by this point with two other kids around. Adjusting to a new diet and hoping what I'm doing is working out for me, I'll find out better when I get a tester.
Appointments or Milestones?
I see a diabetes specialist tomorrow.
GTKY: What is either the last thing you bought for baby, or the next thing you plan on getting?
Hmmmmm maybe the rocking chair for the nursery was the last thing? We don't need a lot specifically for baby. I'll be buying some long sleeved onesies and pants and maybe a couple more sweaters after it's here and we know it's a boy or girl, but I'll have enough to get me by until then between blankets and sleepers. My other kids NB/0-3 month stuff is summer wardrobes.

How far along are you? EDD? (Adjust wording to outside babies if you wish!) 32w today RCS scheduled 12/28
Team? Pink
How big is baby? scooter board (?) or squash (seems small?)
Symptoms/rants/raves: I'm still sick. The antibiotic I got before didn't work so I called today to see if I could get something else. I have also been having some pretty painful BH contractions. And today I'm feeling off. I have a bad headache and a lady just told me I looked pale and asked if I'm okay. Not sure if this is just being sick or something else but of course now I am worried and am considering calling my OB.
Appointments or Milestones? OB appointment in the morning
GTKY: What is either the last thing you bought for baby, or the next thing you plan on getting?
I've bought a bunch of clothes because all the baby stuff I have is off season. I just saw a sneak peek of the Target black Friday ad and they have a v-tech two camera baby monitor for $89 (normally $180 I think) as a doorbuster. I am thinking about sending DH over there when they open on Thanksgiving night to get it.

Not sure, acorn squash maybe?
Lots of Braxton hicks these days. Mostly just tired, and enjoying how much she wiggles around.
Had an appointment this morning, everything looks fine.

I just ordered a slip cover for the rocking chair in baby's room. Also, new dresser should arrive this week!

How far along are you? 26 weeks, edd 2018/02/13 Team? Green How big is baby? A double gulp cup Symptoms/rants/raves: i've had a lot more movement than usual today. DH hasn't felt any movement yet, so hopefully he will get to tonight. I have the tidy a bunch of bookshelves at work to get rid of old catalogues, and it is so dusty. Yuck. Appointments or Milestones? 1hr glucose test of friday morning. I had to time it so that the results are to my dr for my appointment on the 16th, but less than 2 weeks before the 21st so that i can get my rhogam shot at 28 weeks. The long weekend made it tricky, but i managed with a 3 day buffer on my rhogam. Fingers crossed it goes well  GTKY: What is either the last thing you bought for baby, or the next thing you plan on getting? We bought a poang chair and footstool at ikea for the nursery. I also got some cute bibs while i was there too. |

Team? Pink
How big is baby?🤷🏼♀️
Symptoms/rants/raves: I have actually been feeling pretty good this week. My back pain has been so much better, probably because I seriously cut my hours back at work and am only doing 1-2 days a week now. I’ve had a couple weird bouts of cramping lately. It happened a couple days ago, I randomly got wicked crampy and having BH every couple minutes. It was very painful and lasted like 10-15 minutes. It eventually went away but it scared me! I’ll definitely be mentioning it to my dr. This is actually what prompted us to cut my hours back at work even more.
Appointments or Milestones? Not for another 2 weeks!
GTKY: What is either the last thing you bought for baby, or the next thing you plan on getting? I just got ANOTHER potential take home outfit. I don’t know what’s wrong with me that I can’t decide what freaking outfit to take her home from the hospital in. This was not such a huge complex for me for DD and I have no idea why it has become one now haha. And I ordered my breast pump today! Exciting stuff ha.

Team? Blue
How big is baby? Summer cantaloupe!
Symptoms/rants/raves: I’m so tired. My congestion finally cleared up though which is great! I’m just always tired lol. Getting tired of not being able to sleep on my stomach too.
Appointments or Milestones? I had one yesterday! I was supposed to go at 28w but my doctor wasn’t in town so it got pushed to 30w. Worked out though bc now I get to see her again at 32 and then 36. Yesterday we scheduled all my appts through the end of the year & I did my pre-admission paperwork at the hospital. We talked about all my delivery options & preferences...Crazy to already be talking about all of that!!
GTKY: What is either the last thing you bought for baby, or the next thing you plan on getting? Most recent thing was a Solly wrap! We will see what’s next, probably a diaper bag. My girlfriends are having a “sprinkle” for me this weekend so I’ll probably get a few gift cards & use those on a JJB backpack.

I am 31 weeks today. EDD 1/10/17 but I am delivering on 12/27
It’s a boy!
Baby is as big as a coconut or 3lbs and 16inches.
I feel huge. I’m tired because I can’t sleep well. My crotch is killing me and if I stand for too many hours, my back hurts. So nothing new. Lol
I had an appointment last week. I am waiting for my results of my three hour glucose test. Should be today or tomorrow. Eek.
The last thing I bought for baby was some clothes. I don’t need much. My sil bought us a rock and play. We need a crib sheet and a bassinet sheet so maybe I will buy those next.

dragonflyinn I miss sleeping on my stomach too. 😭 that’s probably a big reason why I am sleeping so bad lately. Even worse is that I may not get to sleep on my stomach again until some time on February because of the c section.

Even worse is that I may not get to sleep on my stomach again until some time on February because of the c section. I’m actualy finding I sleep better on our couch bc the cushions are so squishy, I can sort of sleep on my stomach bc my belly goes right down between the cushions lol. Lately I’ve been starting there & going into our room at like 1 or 2am when the couch gets too hot. |

Lately I’ve been starting there & going into our room at like 1 or 2am when the couch gets too hot. I have tried propping myself in such a way that my head and pelvis are raised up and my body pillow is supporting my belly so that I can sort of sleep on my stomach. It’s really more my side than my stomach but it’s close enough to wear I can last like that for an hour or two. Then I flip to the other side which requires a movement of many pillows and sometimes it wakes me up too much. I love my couch but it’s no good for stomach sleeping. 😞 |

How big is baby? I think it said squash... haven't I been a squash before?? Who knows!

How far along are you? EDD? (Adjust wording to outside babies if you wish!) 28 weeks today, Jan 31
Team? Pink
How big is baby? Head of cauliflower
Symptoms/rants/raves: I have gestational diabetes again but I'm pretty resigned to it this time around. I've started oral meds that I am hoping gives me a little more wiggle room with my food choices. My body doesn't like carbs in the morning and that is what I want. Yesterday I had a weird shoulder thing, I thought I slept on it wrong (throbbing ache around my shoulder blade to the top of my shoulder and up my neck) and it went away after being up awhile, but it came back last night around 8:00. A heat pack helped a little bit and it seems okay this morning. Not sure what it was but I hope it doesn't come back. I'm still sleeping well (woohoo!!!) but I suspect I'm not drinking enough fluids because some nights I don't get up to pee in the middle of the night.
Appointments or Milestones? Third trimester today, 12 weeks left!!!! I have all of my appointments scheduled for the rest of the pregnancy.
GTKY: What is either the last thing you bought for baby, or the next thing you plan on getting? My shower is December 2 and I probably won't buy anything until then unless I stumble on some good sales for sleepers. I have hand me downs and a few new pieces but no sense in buying too much until after the shower and we see what is left on our registry. Our biggest needs right now is our crib mattress (possibly being given a hand me down from friends we trust to be bug free), diaper changing pad and car seat. Just about everything else is on the wish list but probably not necessary to have before she is born. We have money put back so we will probably get a lot of it in January anyway just so we don't have to hunt it down when we need it.

How far along are you? EDD? 30 weeks/Jan 16 (Although last week the OB said I was measuring 32 weeks so we shall see!)
Team? Blue
How big is baby? Cabbage
Symptoms/rants/raves:
I feel lots of movements. Moving around is hard work; I can't help but moan when I have to roll over or get up. Also, it's so annoying that if I wake up in the MOTN the baby wakes up too and keeps me up with kicking.
Appointments or Milestones? I failed my 1 hour glucose test and am in the process of taking the 3 hour test.
GTKY: What is either the last thing you bought for baby, or the next thing you plan on getting? I got a new Chicco infant car seat. We are in transition of selling our old house and I'm not sure where we will be when LO is born. Either an AirBnB, a 12 month leased house or buying a new house. One of the things that sucks about this is that I'm not getting to nest or plan a nursery. Buuuuut. The payoff will be being in the same city as my parents when LO arrives.

Happy to see you here again @jananigans!! I'm glad things are feeling more promising for you again and I hope so much there's no more big surprises. No personal experience on the small baby growth, but glad they are aware and monitoring it and hope it just means it's a little baby!
