How far along are you? EDD? (Adjust wording to outside babies if you wish!) 34 weeks Team? Green How big is baby? Basketball hoop Symptoms/rants/raves: Had a few nights last week where sleeping was difficult. I’ve had a couple good nights again so feeling a bit better again. Mostly just starting to feel run down quickly and need to make sure I’m taking lots of breaks, I start to get a bit of BH and cramping by the evening. Appointments or Milestones? 34 week checkup and moving on to weekly checkups now that I’ve passed DS’s birth milestone so that’s a good feeling! GTKY: are you getting or have you already gotten maternity pictures taken? Show off any here if you want! (Or outfit/photo inspiration if you haven’t taken yet) I may have partially asked this because I never did get around to AWing much on here I think Baha. We took family pics in October and she made sure to do a few about the baby. I think I shared one or two here so sorry if any repeats! Just a small handful of my faves! PDQ        |

Also I never did do mat pics with my other two and this is probably our last so I’m so glad we did this time!

How far along are you? EDD? (Adjust wording to outside babies if you wish!) 36w Team? Pink! How big is baby? Cabbage Patch doll or Papaya Symptoms/rants/raves: cramping at night, super swollen legs and feet, getting harder and harder to get around. I still think I can do everything I did pre-pregnancy and have not really slowed down so I think that's contributing to the swelling and the fact that it's harder to get around now. Appointments or Milestones? Had an appt today. Next appt is my last OB appt with my OB in two weeks and RCS in 3 1/2 weeks! GTKY: are you getting or have you already gotten maternity pictures taken? Show off any here if you want! (Or outfit/photo inspiration if you haven’t taken yet) I didn't get any taken. Some people like tiffrobot are cute when they are pregnant. That is not me. |

28 weeks tomorrow 3/2/18
Pink
Big
Getting sore and uncomfortable.
Weekly appointments start this week. Growth scan and cervix check Thursday.
We had mat photos with DD1. We spent a decent chunk of change and I like a couple, but not all of them. I was 32 weeks and HUGE! I gave birth about 2 weeks later so we are skipping it this time. Our hospital offer newborn photos and I LOVED them! We will definitely do them again.

How far along are you? EDD? 33weeks today, EDD 1/23 Team? Pink How big is baby? She was 4lb at my ultrasound a few days ago Symptoms/rants/raves: heartburn has ramped itself up a notch, especially at night. I feel like a beached whale with everything that I do. My vision is improving!! It’s still so hit or miss though. I haven’t been working so much back pain has been in check. I’ve been exhausted a lot, with everything that I do. Short of breath. I’m over it!! Appointments or Milestones? Not till next week GTKY: are you getting or have you already gotten maternity pictures taken? Show off any here if you want! (Or outfit/photo inspiration if you haven’t taken yet) no real “maternity” shoot, but we did have some pictures done for our Christmas cards. This is as close as I get to an actual maternity shoot:    |

How far along are you? EDD? (Adjust wording to outside babies if you wish!) 33 weeks Team? Green How big is baby? Size of a ferret - yuck Symptoms/rants/raves: I feel ok, sciatic nerve pain especially after sex (I think we need to try a different position, lol!). I had a uti or kidney stone yesterday and that was THE WORST. but I feel like a new person today so either it was a stone and I passed it or it was a uti and the antibiotic kicked in. Appointments or Milestones? Baby is head down and ready to go! I went in for an emergency appt yesterday and I have a regular appt next week. GTKY: are you getting or have you already gotten maternity pictures taken? Show off any here if you want! (Or outfit/photo inspiration if you haven’t taken yet) Not this time. We had them with DD but I don't think are in the budget. We had family pics done in October and we are having newborn pictures done after the baby comes. Here is DD from the Oct shoot. Please don't quote.  |

tiffrobot, do you think baby is a boy or girl? Since you've had one of each already, I'm especially curious if this pregnancy feels more like one or the other or not.

tiffrobot, do you think baby is a boy or girl? Since you've had one of each already, I'm especially curious if this pregnancy feels more like one or the other or not. I go back and forth a lot! My gut feeling for the last while has been girl. I accidentally find myself calling it a her. If I was to compare pregnancies it probably reminds me more of my daughter’s. This baby is way more active than she was though, more like DS. But this one is positioned way higher like DD was. The one thing that sticks out to me is names. With DS it just felt like we needed to love our boy name and have a girl name for backup. Then I felt opposite with DD. This time I’ve been more focused on the girl name again. But who knows, maybe we’ll be surprised by a boy!! |

How big is baby? Cauliflower
Symptoms/rants/raves: I have gestational diabetes and my fasting and breakfast numbers have been high. I really don't want to go in insulin. I'm having crotch pain and getting uncomfortable.
Appointments or Milestones? Nutritionist appointment today, hoping it will help.
GTKY: are you getting or have you already gotten maternity pictures taken? Show off any here if you want! (Or outfit/photo inspiration if you haven’t taken yet)
No, won't be taking any maternity photos. We will get newborn ones taken though.

How far along are you? EDD? (Adjust wording to outside babies if you wish!) 34w2d, EDD 1/15 Team? Blue How big is baby? A savory cabbage Symptoms/rants/raves: I’m having really bad swelling in my knuckles/fingers in the mornings right when I wake up. Thankfully it goes down as the day goes on but it hurts first thing! Baby has dropped so I can finally breathe again & hopefully it’s just a matter of weeks now. I am having some loosey-goosey tendon stuff in my hips the last week or two (like sometimes feels like my hip socket is just super loose) & I hope that means everything is getting ready down there! More pressure down there when I stand up too. A few times a day I feel crampy similar to the early contractions I had a DD so all these are good signs IMO!! Appointments or Milestones? Next appointment is on Monday. I’ll be 35w. We don’t do weeklies so my next one after that will be after Christmas if we get there GTKY: are you getting or have you already gotten maternity pictures taken? Show off any here if you want! (Or outfit/photo inspiration if you haven’t taken yet) We didn’t do any with DD and none this time either. We probably only have the budget for expensive photos once or twice a year & I save it on deployment homecoming photos 😍 |

I am 35w today
It’s a boy!
Baby is the size of a canary melon.
I haven’t gained any weight in a month which I am fine with. The GD is annoying to deal with but I am managing it. I really want pizza or a bagel but 🤷🏻♀️ I am congested, I can’t sleep, my crotch hurts, I have some swelling and I am overall just fine with all of this.
I am at the hospital now for a growth scan because of the GD. I have my OB tomorrow. Then and appointment the two Thursday after that. Oh and I am delivering three weeks from today. 😮
I do not get maternity pics taken. I have no desire to see myself like that this. I have very few pics of me from when I was having G and I didn’t take many this time around either.

How far along are you? EDD? 36 weeks tomorrow - Jan 4
Team? Blue
How big is baby? *shrugs* - yep...I've gotten to that point
Symptoms/rants/raves: Yesterday's pelvic pain was unreal. It seems a bit better today so I'm going to take it easy. I had a few noticeable contractions yesterday so my mind is trying to mentally prepare for him to come early like his brother (gestationally I went into labor with DS this weekend in pregnancy). I am trying to figure out how to get good sleep. My bed is a torture device but now the recliner is causing side cramps (which I'm confused about) No seizures since Sept - always a plus!
Appointments or Milestones? Had lab work yesterday and see the OB Friday for a check up and GBS swab. I believe she'll check my cervix too which I'm kind of excited for.
GTKY: are you getting or have you already gotten maternity pictures taken? Show off any here if you want! (Or outfit/photo inspiration if you haven’t taken yet)
Maternity pictures just aren't for me.

tiffbabey have you tried medication for GD? It has really helped me. I am not sure what they are going to do. When I asked at the initial appointment they said if I can't control it I would meet with an endocrinologist and would talk about insulin with them. I am definitely going to ask about medication first, I am hoping the nutritionist appointment will help, I feel like I wasn't rally given any guidance at all. The nurse told me I could google before the appointment, which I have and read on here, but still feel lost. |

marygracerich I haven’t gained in about a month either! No GD for me to worry about but the scale was creeping up there so I’m glad to see it slowing down.

29w, team pink
Pineapple
My Dr advised me my severe back pain is SI joint pain. I had nothing like it with my daughter and I'm struggling with how to manage it. I'm going to pursue a drs note for "light duty" to try to get back my 2 day a week AWA.
Next appt is in 2 wks 12/18. Unrelated but my DD has a drs appt 12/22 as well ( food challenge time! - I will update on randoms if someone can tag me in to remind me)
I'd like to get mat pics but we don't have the budget for it. I'll probably ask my sister to take a couple at the end of my pg. I will however let them come in to take pics for DD2 once she's born. I didn't with DD1 and i regret it.

tiffbabey glyburide has worked wonders for me. I was so happy to take oral meds rather than insulin.

How far along are you? EDD? (Adjust wording to outside babies if you wish!) 34 weeks today! EDD 1/17 RCS 1/11
Team? Blue
How big is baby? Quokka 🤷♀️ they look cute
Symptoms/rants/raves: So sore. Back pain is unreal. I know this sounds like an awful thing to complain about, but he moves SO MUCH. So much more than DS. So much that it sometimes makes me nauseous and that it can be painful. I’m happy he’s healthy but shoot, take a nap kid!
Appointments or Milestones? 34 weeks appointment was yesterday, everything looked good DS loved hearing the heartbeat. Next one is on the 18th. That’ll be 36 weeks so GBS and 3rd trimester blood work.
GTKY: are you getting or have you already gotten maternity pictures taken? Show off any here if you want! (Or outfit/photo inspiration if you haven’t taken yet) None here for either pregnancy, our family Christmas pictures were supposed to be our chance at maternity pictures but DS was afraid of the lights.

hiimjamie my LO moves ALL THE TIME too. And not like cute little movements. They’re like full blown kicks and butt pushes and flips and turns. I feel the same way about them... make it stop!! It HURTS and makes me queasy sometimes. I yell out in pain sometimes and DD is always scared and concerned... “mama! Are you ok??!” And then I have to console her and make sure she knows I’m ok haha

hiimjamie and amesie my movements are huge and painful too, sometimes I freak H out when I stop to catch my breath or try to make it move lol. Even on #3 neither one of us remember the other two moving quite like this. Also hiimjamie at the Quokka, I don’t know what that is either but DS likes flipping through all the themes each week and when he saw that he said “awww it’s cute just like the baby!”
