How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 31 weeks, a foam finger! If only baby could be made out of foam, labor would be a lot less scary.
How are you feeling? Any rants/raves? I'm ok. I feel great in the mornings but by the evening Gravity has done her worst on me and my back aches and my stomach feels sore and sad.
Doctor appointment news or upcoming appointments? I got the results from my 3 hour glucose test. I failed the one hour draw but they classified it as me having a shitty metabolism, not GD. So I'm eating healthy and making sure to balance carbs with protein.
GTKY- What do you think you baby will look like? He better be cute or I'm sending him back. I feel like he will be blonde with blue eyes, but I hope he's a ginger. Other than that I have no clue. My DH and I have fairly similar features, so he can't come out looking too weird I just really hope he gets his dad's ginger hair!!!!!
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 27 weeks. He is the size of a 7/11 double gulp
How are you feeling? Any rants/raves? Still tired. My hips and lower back are starting to hurt quite a bit. I'm not sure if it's because this is baby 3 or because I'm older but this one has been way harder on me physically than the previous.
Doctor appointment news or upcoming appointments? Next appointment is the 6th. I can believe I'm already down to every 2 weeks. For those that saw I was able to get my chart corrected. Turns out is was a mistake that they had in there "history of GD". She actually thanked me for taking the time to review my records and took it right out.
GTKY- What do you think you baby will look like? I kind of have an advantage on this one since I already have two kids. Both of them have thick blonde curly hair and blue eyes. Our daughters is more curly that our sons.I did know with our daughter though. Before we even knew she was a girl I told everyone "this kid will have blonde curly hair and blue eyes". At birth their hair was pretty dark but I was totally right. I keep willing this little guy to have green eyes like me instead of blue, but to still have the blonde hair. I just love that combo. I have a feeling he will look like my family just like my son does. He is a spitting image of my brother.
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 29 weeks! Acorn Squash status.
How are you feeling? Any rants/raves? I feel good! Every time I stand up from sitting for a bit (desk job, so it happens a lot) my hips are so sore. I feel like my legs do after I run a long race the next day. Need to walk a bit to get the juices flowing before the pain stops. Otherwise, doing pretty great!
Doctor appointment news or upcoming appointments? Regular check up next Wednesday! YAY!
GTKY- What do you think you baby will look like? I keep picturing her looking identical to her big sister. So...I am sure I will be surprised when she does not!
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 30 weeks, a cucumber.. that doesn't sound as big as I feel.
How are you feeling? Any rants/raves? Major sciatic pain, massage or chiropractor didn't help.. Heartburn, normal aches and pains. I am starting to feel uncomfortable but its not too bad yet.
Doctor appointment news or upcoming appointments? I got my GD results Monday and I don't have it! Also got my Rhogam shot and tDap shot Monday. Baby is measuring perfect and his heartbeat was perfect, I love hearing that little heartbeat.
GTKY- What do you think you baby will look like? We did a 3D sono a few weeks ago and my family says he looks like me and H's family says he looks like H... Of course. I picture him looking just like my H as a baby for some reason. Totally bald and blue eyes! We do know his lips are nice and plump
@fishwife799: Glad you spoke up and got your chart fixed!
@copperlane: Good that you don't have GD. Hopefully it's not too much of a challenge to manage your metabolic needs! Also, I love little baby red-heads!
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 27/bunch of bananas or camping lantern
How are you feeling? Any rants/raves? Feeling good, just tired. Conk out about 930pm Rave/Rant: Finishing the blasted kitchen this week/end. H has asked off Friday to have another 3 day weekend to bust it out. Bless him.
Doctor appointment news or upcoming appointments? Had a good appt yesterday. Measuring on track, my vitals are good, and baby's got a strong heartbeat. Had my 1 hr glucose draw yesterday, so hoping for good results.
GTKY- What do you think you baby will look like? Probably will have brown hair, but start blonde (like H and I both did). Perhaps brown eyes like H. This kiddo is set up for some awkward teenage years because H is shorter and stockyish while I'm tall and long-limbed.
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 27 weeks/rutabaga
How are you feeling? Any rants/raves? Have a cold with a ton of congestion so that's been hard this week with that plus the pregnancy breathing issues.
Doctor appointment news or upcoming appointments? Had a peri appt yesterday with a growth scan. Babies are 1 lb 15 oz, 2 lb 1 oz, and 2 lbs 2 oz which is pretty good for triplets! Also cervix was slightly longer at 2.3!
GTKY- What do you think you baby will look like? I don't know. I have a 2.5 year old son and I can't tell who he looks like even. I was just looking at his eyes yesterday and they don't look like H's or mine. He did look a lot like H's baby pictures, though.
DS 9/2/13 was a BFP from an IUI! Triplets due 6/29/16 also from an IUI!
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 30w, cucumber
How are you feeling? Any rants/raves? Exhausted, irritable, and this pelvic pain is driving me nuts. It hurts to walk or roll over. Dr told me the only way for it to truly go away is for me to have this baby, so I'm stuck with it for another 10 weeks.
Doctor appointment news or upcoming appointments? Had an appointment two days ago, baby girl is head down. Throwing twice daily dance parties (after my morning coffee, and again as I'm laying down to sleep). Next appt isn't for 3 weeks.
GTKY- What do you think you baby will look like? DS is a clone of my husband (but with my eye color, which I love and am very happy to pass along), so I'm really hoping this baby looks like me.
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 31- foam finger
How are you feeling? Any rants/raves? I'm feeling like a preggasaurus Rex.
Doctor appointment news or upcoming appointments? Next Wed, then biweekly, then weekly. WHAT? HOW?!
GTKY- What do you think you baby will look like? I don't think either of our kids look alike, even though they have the same skin coloring, hair and eye color. DD has my eyes, but Hs face shape and DS just looks like himself. I wonder if he'll look like his brother or what.
@Huskerfanz- yay for growing babies and cervixes (cervices?!)!!! I'm super congested from allergies and I emailed my doc on Monday. She said I could take Mucinex and that's helped a ton. Maybe worth a shot?
she also mentioned Chlortrimetron, Benadryl, Sudafed, Actifed, Tylenol Sinus and Nasacort.
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 31 weeks, pineapple
How are you feeling? Any rants/raves? I feel good all day until after dinner, and that's when I start feeling huge and full and uncomfortable. At that point, the only way to get comfortable is to go to bed.
Doctor appointment news or upcoming appointments? No big news. I have my next appointment next week, but it doesn't sound like anything too exciting will be happening until we get closer to delivery day.
GTKY- What do you think you baby will look like? I think he'll probably be red-headed. I have red hair, and my husband has blondish hair, but a pretty red beard.
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 27 weeks, size of a head of cabbage.
How are you feeling? Any rants/raves? Feeling pretty good considering I have pulled an abdominal muscle and a pinched nerve in my hip. Fatigue starting to set back in but nothing a little afternoon nap can't fix. Rants and raves? I wish I'd never told people the other names we considered because now that we've chosen a name I keep hearing "I liked this name better...."
Doctor appointment news or upcoming appointments? Doctor appointment next week and hopefully we can set up an appointment to tour the hospital. As a highlight this week, hubs and I are going out of town on a three day weekend to a baseball tournament and I can't wait! Pretzels with mustard, hotdogs, chanting our team's name and fit college guys in tight white pants sliding into home. Can't get much better than that. Plus the hubs and I haven't really had any "couple time" lately, just us out enjoying each others company and doing something we both love.
GTKY- What do you think you baby will look like? I think she will be long like her daddy was and probably a chubblet. I expect she'll have blondish maybe even reddish blond hair (like her daddy and I started out with) Hopefully she has my nose and her daddy's ears and complexion.

I've been doing sudafed and it helps some. I've been having issues anyway with increased blood circulation and bloody noses. Than plus the cold plus babies in ribs are just making it a little harder.
DS 9/2/13 was a BFP from an IUI! Triplets due 6/29/16 also from an IUI!
How many weeks/How big is baby: 28 weeks (so exciting to make it to third trimester!) And baby is the size of a Rollerblade.
How are you feeling? Rants/Raves: Was in a bad mood this morning about all the work I have to do today (9 clients scheduled and just didn't want to do it) so did poor meal planning (read: no meal planning) and got stuck with trying to make a healthy GD choice decision for lunch. It also means I won't eat dinner til 8. Just feeling mad today.
Doctor appointment news/upcoming appointment: See doc again on April 11th I think and MFM doctor on the 15th. Hopefully they will think I'm doing OK on the GD and baby will look good.
GTKY: What do you think baby will look like: Absolutely no clue! Hopefully a great mix of me and my husband. Although, poor kid will probably end up with all of our terrible features but I will be that delusional mom who only sees gorgeousness!
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 30/ cucumber (according to TB or cantelope (according to ovia). Something ain't right!
How are you feeling? Any rants/raves? Feeling pretty good but feel much bigger over the last week or so. Heartburn is a bitch. Rave: we're on spring break and finally getting some stuff done around the house which is a huge relief!
Doctor appointment news or upcoming appointments? OB appt tomorrow. Hoping to tour the L&D floor at the hospital afterward.
GTKY- What do you think you baby will look like? I hope he/she looks like my husband! I think baby will likely start out with blonde hair, as both DHs and mine did. Other than that, I haven't a clue.
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 30 weeks/cucumber
How are you feeling? Any rants/raves? Just a little tired. Today is our anniversary though and we are going out to dinner so "yea"!!
Doctor appointment news or upcoming appointments? Every two weeks now. Nothing really new or exciting though.
GTKY- What do you think you baby will look like? H is darker than me so I have a feeling our girl will take after him in skin tone, hair color and eyes. Hopefully she has my nose.
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 31 weeks; foam finger/otter
How are you feeling? Any rants/raves? I have bad indigestion every morning, and I feel like my stomach is sitting in my throat By the end of every day I'm exhausted now. Mentally, I'm struggling with the change in identity that's happening.
Doctor appointment news or upcoming appointments? Next Friday, another ultrasound. Even though every thing has been normal, they still classify me as "high risk" because I'm 35 and give me an ultrasound every other appt now.
GTKY- What do you think you baby will look like? I hope he looks like my husband. I like his hair and skin color better. Actually, I just hope the kid is 100% a carbon copy of my husband. He's a way better human being than I am
@fishwife799 Great Job being your own advocate regarding your chart and questioning your doctor's office.
@26pointrunningfor2 I understand your pain. I am considered high risk also and I am 38. I told them that I have a family history of women having later in life children. My grandmother was almost 50 when she had my aunt.
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 29 weeks...acorn squash.
How are you feeling? Any rants/raves? Feeling good except when I sit too long and have to get up. All of my joints ache and my body aches all over. I can barely walk and I am bent over until I can slowly work myself into a standing position.
Doctor appointment news or upcoming appoinments. None.
GTKY-What do you think baby will look like? Another good mix of me and my SO. Curly brown hair, chocolate brown eyes, and thick. Another cute little girl, I can sing Brown Eyed Girl to. Well just the chorus anyway since I do not know the whole song.
GTKY: I'm guessing my baby will look a lot like my son, who looks a lot like his dad. But he'll probably look totally different than his brother, just like how all his cousins look different than their brothers. I just can't picture him being or looking any different than our first son.... Which, I know, is absolutely bonkers.
