How far along are you? EDD? (Adjust wording to outside babies if you wish!) 35w due date Jan 2, RCS scheduled 12/28

Team? Pink!

How big is baby? kid's backpack or pineapple

Symptoms/rants/raves: Insomnia continues, I've been having some cramping (maybe RLP?), lots of movement, it's harder for me to get around and do normal things like get dressed, carry DD1 and get her dressed, get up and down, etc.

Appointments or Milestones? Next appointment is next week. I'm not moving to weekly appointments, my OB is just planning bi-weekly. Maybe because I'm having a CS and she doesn't care about position?

GTKY: What are you asking for for Christmas (if you celebrate)? I have pretty much just bought my own presents for DH to give me. He is in charge of filling my stocking though so I get some sort of surprise. I got a solly wrap and a Beach Waver curling iron. From my parents we asked for a dresser for the guest room, gift cards for food delivery, renew our Children's museum membership and I think that's it. Nothing too exciting this year.

How big is baby?
A rollerblade

Symptoms/rants/raves:
Sore back, a harder time wrangling the 17 month old. I get nauseated if I let myself get too tired.

Appointments or Milestones?
3 hour GD test on Saturday, ugh.

GTKY: What are you asking for for Christmas (if you celebrate)?
I asked my parents to help us pay for painters to do all the trim in our house. I want it all painted and that is a big/annoying a job because it’s really dark wood (they will paint it white) and a lot of the varnish is peeling and scratched, plus we have some slatted doors, so I want a professional to take care of it!

Starting to wake up lots to pee or take Tums, lol. Otherwise now that I’m starting to feel better, pregnancy itself still feeling the best it can!

Appointments or Milestones?
Nothing for appts this week, just my weekly Wednesday email to my dietician.
Friday marks the age that DS was born so hoping to just smoothly roll over that date!

GTKY: What are you asking for for Christmas (if you celebrate)?
I think my parents are getting me or us an Instant Pot, it seems like a good fit for our lifestyle!
Otherwise I have no idea what H got me. My birthday is the week before too so I know he’s been working hard getting stuff in and not letting me check the mail haha.

How big is baby? Cauliflower blossom

Symptoms/rants/raves: mostly just tired haha. I have been getting restless leg at night when I’ve been extra active that day or on my feet too much so I’m trying to take it easy when I’m not at work.

Appointments or Milestones? I have my next appt on Dec 11.

GTKY: What are you asking for for Christmas (if you celebrate)? I’m getting a house cleaner! Not regularly but H will schedule someone to come at the end of December & do a deep clean of the house for me before baby comes.

[pippiann]

33 weeks tomorrow - 6 weeks on Thursday

How big is baby? Today he’s 2170 grams which is about 4lbs 12oz! I can’t believe he’ll be 5lbs soon. He’s on full (for him) feeds of 40mls!

Symptoms/rants/raves: my back still hurts at the end of most days! Booo

Appointments or Milestones? L got off the vapotherm yesterday and is just on the regular oxygen that plugs into the wall. He successfully completed his first binky trainer with 5mls of my milk. Hopefully will breeze pass these to get to bottles!

GTKY: What are you asking for for Christmas (if you celebrate)? I can’t think of anything.

Poof
here’s my sweet boy listening to his mama! 😍

Team? blue
How big is baby? Basketball net (?)
Symptoms/rants/raves: see my whine is randoms. The exhaustion, shortness of breath and constipation is tough. With DS I was working contract out of town so I stopped work by now because I didn't want to be out of town and go into labor. Plus I didn't have a toddler to hold
Appointments or Milestones? next appointment is Thursday
GTKY: What are you asking for for Christmas (if you celebrate)?

Have you heard of Lisa Leonard Designs? She makes those!

How far along are you? EDD? (Adjust wording to outside babies if you wish!) 28+2, Due Date 2/18

Team? Blue

How big is baby? A head of lettuce

Symptoms/rants/raves: Sore back, and a sore lower belly. Starting to feel big and pregnant instead of "cute" and pregnant.

Appointments or Milestones? Next Tuesday, and then I'll start bi-weekly appointments! We also booked our childbirth class on December 16th.

GTKY: What are you asking for for Christmas (if you celebrate)? Things to pamper myself after baby! Robes, nice PJs, lotions, makeup, etc.

[aprilz81]

How far along are you? EDD? (Adjust wording to outside babies if you wish!) 31 weeks tomorrow!

Team? Pink

How big is baby? Half a cheese cake today, not sure what it will be tomorrow...

Symptoms/rants/raves: Short of breath, slightly bloody snot and boogers (but no other cold symptoms so that is good) and lots of Braxton Hicks contracts... Otherwise I'm happy to say that I still feel mostly good considering how big I'm getting.

Appointments or Milestones? A growth scan on Thursday with my regular OB appointment. I'm so excited to see her again we haven't seen her since our 20 week anatomy scan and we had so many appointments with Ava it feels weird. We also have an elective 3D ultrasound on Saturday after the shower so our immediate family (MIL, Mom, possibly my Dad, and my sister) can see her too. The package includes a DVD of the scan, print outs and they record her HB and put it in a build a bear.

GTKY: What are you asking for for Christmas (if you celebrate)? Mostly craft supplies, but I also asked for a new birthstone ring I fell in love with on Etsy and a foot and calf massager like the Brookstone ones only a lot cheaper.

32w 3d

Girl

a half gallon of milk?

I'm just a big, waddling bowling ball. My 18 month-old niece giggles every time she sees me, pats my belly and says "Ball!" And then laughs again.

No appointment this week. Got my Tdap last week.

GTKY: I'm not sure yet, I need to come up with a list. Probably comfy drawstring flannel pajama pants. All my pajama pants have shrunk and are just too short, which is the most annoying thing ever.

[marygracerich]

I am 34w today. Only 4 weeks to go!
Baby is a boy!
Baby is the size of a pineapple or 5.25lbs and 18inches.
I am large. And tired. And uncomfortable. I am also super congested and have had a few bloody noses. No fun. My entire pelvis and vagina area hurts. I am so ready to be done with this.
I have an appointment tomorrow. I am sure she will discuss my glucose numbers and such. I’m not worried about it because I have been managing everything.
I asked for a few things like a new Nintendo switch game, the illustrated copy of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and a blu ray or two. I have no idea what MH is actually going to get me.

Team? Pink!

How big is baby? Cucumber

Symptoms/rants/raves: I got my meter for testing my blood yesterday afternoon. So I'm trying to get the hang of it. After dinner reading was good, but my fasting number and my after breakfast number this morning were both too high. So I have some adjusting to do.

Appointments or Milestones? Meet with nutritionist next week and doctor the week after.

GTKY: What are you asking for for Christmas (if you celebrate)? Some new ugg slippers, DNA ancestry kit, new phone case

How big is baby?
Too lazy to look it up

Symptoms/rants/raves:
Constipation, tired, general third trimester uncomfortableness

Appointments or Milestones?
Dec. 5

GTKY: What are you asking for for Christmas (if you celebrate)?
I love Christmas and I love getting presents, but this is the first year that I really don’t know what I want. My husband is typically a great gift giver so I’m assuming he will pull something off without any suggestions.

[hiimjamie]

How far along are you? EDD? (Adjust wording to outside babies if you wish!) EDD 1/17 RCS 1/11

Team? Blue!

How big is baby? Ferret 😂

Symptoms/rants/raves: So so so sore. So constipated. All of the hear burn.

Appointments or Milestones? Next appointment is next Tuesday

GTKY: What are you asking for for Christmas (if you celebrate)?

I have no idea. Wife and I don’t really do gifts. We pick names in my family. My little brother has me. I really want a bag for my pump and nursing clothes.

[amesie]

How far along are you? EDD? 32+1, edd 1/23

Team? Pink

How big is baby? She feels huge

Symptoms/rants/raves: we DTD a couple nights ago and holy crap am I still in pain. It feels like I pulled all the muscles in my lower abdomen and there’s so much pressure and cramping. I told MH never again until PP!! And now I’m sick again. FFS. My vision is still blurry/drunk feeling but it has been coming and going the past couple days. I’m hoping that means it’s resolving itself.

Appointments or Milestones? I had an apt Monday to follow up on my vision issues, but also have an apt Friday with my regular dr.

GTKY: What are you asking for for Christmas (if you celebrate)? From MH, A fawn design baby bag!! I cannot wait to get it. I’ve been drooling over them for quite some time now. From my family, a bathrobe, a kitchen scale for measuring our portions (hello dieting after birth!!), a gift certificate to a specific hair salon that specializes in curly hair cuts... it’s stupidly expensive to get a “curly cut” but I want one so bad.

[jessijean]

How far along are you? EDD? 35 weeks tomorrow - Jan 4th

Team? Blue!

How big is baby? Pineapple?

Symptoms/rants/raves: pelvic/vaginal pressure and pain is unreal. Unrelated to pregnancy is I have chest congestion so my lungs being crowded + chest congestion = hurts to breathe. I've also been coughing a lot which has equaled in peeing my pants. I love pregnancy. I did ask the pediatrician if we need to be worried about withdrawal symptoms in baby from my high dose of seizure med and she said it shouldn't affect him so yay!

Appointments or Milestones? No seizures since Sept!! Next check up is next week (switching to weekly! AHHHH!) I'll have lab work next week too.

GTKY: What are you asking for for Christmas (if you celebrate)? I honestly didn't have much on my list. I know DH spent a lot on me but I have no idea what it is.
