Rants/raves/symptoms: Rant: Something went horribly wrong this morning when I made the coffee - it just tastes like really watered down coffee. Not cool, coffee maker. Not cool. Rave: I finally finished the 800 page book that I was reading in preparation for my test that I have to take! Now all I need to do is brush up on some of the chapters I didn't do as well on and start the test. Fingers crossed! Symptoms: The usual.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Floors get installed next weekend! Finally.
Questions? Anyone having what feels like a pinching pain down in the lower uterus area? Could this be lightning crotch? I thought that was just in the vag, but what do I know. Maybe baby jabbing the cervix?
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? Mascara. Hands down.
Rants/raves/symptoms: Rant: I went to make meatloaf last night and the stupid ground beef wasn't thawed all the way so we had to settle for Tyson chicken nuggets, which is NOT what I wanted. Rave: H is done with the study class for his PE exam, which he takes on Friday, so we're almost done with the stress of that! Symptoms: Just tired and sore and swollen.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Not a lot right now. We're in a pretty good place as far as getting things ready, but once I have my shower I'll have a LOT to do.
Questions? Is anyone else having incredibly psychotic dreams? I had a dream the other night I got tazed, while pregnant, for helping an old lady with literal bird's legs, there was one where my baby's neck was so weak his head popped off, and then last night I had a dream my 3 yr old nephew lost my baby while I was in the hospital after I had him. WTF?????
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? I'd have to say eyeliner and mascara. I know it says one item but I'm super lazy and since I've been pregnant those are pretty much the only things I wear. I look like I'm 12 if I don't.
Rant:Seems like I'm outgrowing everything this week. My wedding rings are done, & now a few of my sweatshirts that fit okay last week (snug, but comfy) are completely out of the picture, lol. I'm not going to be left with anything comfy to lounge in...time to invade H's closet! Rave:I had plans with one of my best friends for tonight & she had to reschedule...this actually makes me really happy! I wanted to reschedule myself but didn't want to be the one to do it, lol. Also, H's best friend & his wife had a beautiful baby girl yesterday morning! It made me even more excited for our little guy! Symptoms: All of them.
What are you doing to prepare for baby?
I've been reading The Happiest Baby on the Block. It both overwhelms me & makes me feel more prepared, lol.
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice?
Because of this lovely pregnancy skin, I'd have to say my makeup item of choice right now is my BB cream & a good foundation. But mascara & eye liner are quick & easy...& can make a huge difference, especially on the days I really feel like crap.
@mrsschmity : Good luck on your test! And I think I know the pain you are talking about. Sometimes it feels like a sharp RLP or something just below your belly? Lightning crotch, to me, seems to just be in the vag area and not really a pinch, but more of a shooting pain.
How far along are you? 30w2d
Rants/raves/symptoms: Rant: Side of left ribs still hurt a ton. I sneezed last night and felt like a rib cracked. Also, slept too long on one side apparently and now my right hip is super sore. Is this the point where my body starts breaking down, because that's what it feels like! Rave: HDBD! Um...and...not much happening at work. I've pretty much checked out of work and I don't think anyone is expecting much from me. :shrug: works for me! Symptoms: Nighttime hip pain, congested, rib/stomach pain, BH.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Got the last slot for a childbirth 'express' (6 hours) class that happens in May, pre-registered for the hospital, matted and framed the nursery prints, and unpacked all the clothing/cloth stuff we have so far to get it washed. Next is getting the Thank You cards written and sent.
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? If I'm planning to leave the house without showering and don't have time for make up, I at least have to put some blush on these pale cheeks and some chapstick.

@mrsschmity: Good luck on your test. Yay for new floors!
@edeibel89: Ugh, PE exam. H is considering taking his in the fall. Good luck to your H!
@DeePaddy24: Yep, I've pretty much grown out of my lounging things, too. I started borrowing H's tshirts to sleep in a couple of weeks ago. He made me a little a pile of what would fit me on his side of the closet so I don't rifle through his shirts all the time, haha.
@BakerBird525: Wow, you've been so productive! Way to go!
How far along are you? 29 weeks!
Rants/raves/symptoms:
Rave: Midwife appt today, so I get to hear baby's heartbeat again! Also thisclose to being done with the kitchen. Just a few final details to wrap up tonight before we have houseguests stay through the weekend!
What are you doing to prepare for baby?
Organized shower gifts, pondering nursery decor.
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice?
I have got to have foundation and concealer. This acne and redness is loud and proud. If I had perfect skin, I wouldn't be able to go without mascara.
Rants/raves/symptoms: Rant: can't climb into my bed in the mornings anymore. Woke up to pee and our bed is so high it hurt to even try to get in so I settled for the couch.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Nothing
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? Mascara/eyeliner. I love how many "are you okay? You look exhausted" comments I get if I don't have eyeliner and mascara on.
Rants/raves/symptoms: Rants, just tired so tired. I can't fall asleep on my left side so I fall asleep on the right then wake up in a panic and say to myself "left side stupid" H thinks I'm losing it. Rave, I have my 30w appointment today so I get to hear the little guys heart beat always makes me feel better. Oh and we decided on a name my father passed away less then a year ago so we wanted Brian to be in the name ..... not too many variations by the way.....and someone mentioned my mom may find it hard to call the baby the same name so we are going with Bryant.....middle name and last were already picked so his initials are going to be BRO which H thinks is hilarious.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Nothing really feel super lazy, showers on the 30th so I figure once I have to organize that I will have to kick into high gear.
Questions? Nope!
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? Foundation.....where is this glowing skin people are talking about!
@edeibel89 Thank you! And yes, I've had some pretty effed up dreams too. @DeePaddy24 I thought I was going to get by with a couple of maternity tshirts and be good, but my belly just keeps growing out. The struggle is real. @BakerBird525 Thank you! Yeah I have a feeling the pinching is baby kicking my cervix. It does not feel good. I wish I were as productive as you lately! @crdo Good luck at your appt today! And I can't wait to see pics of the finished kitchen reno! @Shanna2016 Good luck at the appt today!
Rants/raves/symptoms: Rants....I need sleep. Raves: It is humpday. Soon the weekend will be here. Symptoms: Same.
Questions: I have pinching pain too, but it has been different than lightening crotch. Lightening crotch to me has felt like sharp shooting intense pains, but it could feel different for others.
Crazy dreams? OH YES!!!! I wake up drentched in sweat, heart racing, and almost in a panic.
@edeibel89 - The dreams! I have no idea how my mind comes up with this stuff. If you figure out how to stop them, LET ME KNOW. Also, good luck to your H! I've considered taking the PE, but cannot imagine how much studying I would have to do to remind myself what I learned in college. Props to him!
@DeePaddy24 - I've been rocking H's t-shirts for a while now and the only "sweatshirts" I wear are the ones that zip... and that's clearly not happening right now. At least it should warm up soon...
Rants/raves/symptoms: LO has stated stretching it's limbs and stabbing me in various spots. Not kicking, just slow stretches. It hurts! I asked H if he wanted to feel what I assume is a foot and he didn't believe me and then when he felt it, he freaked out. It made me laugh. Rant: I thought today was Thursday... Rave: Now that I'm aware of the real day, I have nothing to rave about. I'm just mad that I have to work for 2.5 more days (half day on Friday).
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Last baby shower this weekend and then finishing up the registry! Also, cleaning like there's no tomorrow so that we can list our house in the next few weeks.
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? Mascara. Most of the time, that's all I wear because my eyelashes are blond-ish and it drives me crazy that you can hardly see them.
Good luck on the rest of your studying and the test, @mrsschmity! I'm sure you'll kill it! @edeibel89 - I have been having weird dreams too. I'll usually remember them right when I wake up, but then just a little bit later I can't remember what happened for the life of me. They're definitely weird though. @Bakerbird525 - Just reading about everything you are doing to get ready for baby makes me tired @crdo - Glad to hear the kitchen is almost done!
How far along are you? 30 + 5
Rants/raves/symptoms: Nothing new. Just starting to get more uncomfortable in general.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Had our second prenatal class at the hospital last night and learned about baby's care, what they do in the hospital after birth, bringing baby home, and there was a pediatrician there to talk about care, appointments to expect, and to answer questions. Appointment with my OB today, so I'll get to hear his heart beat again.
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? Definitely Mascara. I look asleep without it.
@BakerBird525 I had pretty bad rib pain the other day too, and looked it up online because I thought maybe I had hurt myself, and apparently the ribs expand to make room for all those pushed up organs during pregnancy, sometimes up to like 10 centimeters! That blew my mind, and my husband gained even more respect for the pain I'm going thru, lol.
How far along are you? 31 weeks today!
Rant:had an ultrasound yesterday, and baby was breach so we STILL don't know if we're having a boy or a girl. I'm okay with the surprise, and I got to see my baby again, and everything seems to be progressing well, but it's just so funny that this kid is already being stubborn like his or her parents!
Rave: got to see my little ones cute smooshy ultrasound face. Its killing me how cute it is!
Symptoms: I actually feel pretty good...normal aches and pains, but mostly just anxious to hold my baby!
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Finally went out and bought a few gender neutral outfits. We were waiting until this scan to see if they could tell us the gender to buy anything, but it looks like we're going to have a surprise!
Questions? Nope!
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? Eyeliner, definitely. And some sort of shadow. And chapstick!
I asked H if he wanted to feel what I assume is a foot and he didn't believe me and then when he felt it, he freaked out. It made me laugh.
H was feeling my belly the other day and all of a sudden goes "OH MY GOSH! That feels like a body part!" I laughed so hard because, yes, there is a baby with body parts in there. I think before he had only really felt a bump, and then he felt a foot or something for the first time.
DeePaddy24 The swelling is insane! As terrible as I know it is, I'm glad I'm not the only one in the struggle!
Shanna2016 Yay for picking a name! That's a great one too, a nice variation.
@BakerBird525 writing thank you cards sis the worst. It took me four hours to write them, I'm surprised I didn't end up with carpal tunnel.
How far along are you? 32 weeks and 2 days
Rants/raves/symptoms: Rants- I'm super over the swelling. My feet, my fingers. I can't drink anymore water than I already am, I'll drown! It's too much. Also, it's making me crazy that the nursery isn't done yet. Raves- It's so reassuring to have the baby essentials. The crazy side of me was freaking out that we didn't have essentials for her. Symptoms- Swelling And my boobs are starting to hurt again, not sure that's normal.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Every night has been dedicated to reorganizing some part of the house to accommodate her stuff. We had our final ultrasound yesterday and the tech told us "OMG she has so much hair", aside from that she's perfectly healthy lol
Questions? STM: Did your LO sleep in the bassinet part of your pack and play? And for how long. We're have a small 2 bedroom home so we don't want to wait too long to transition to her crib but I'm concerned that the bassinet in this thing isn't comfy enough for her.
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? I love makeup but I get up too early to put on a full face everyday lol. I wear foundation, mascara, and bronzer every day, so those I can't live without. If I had to pick one it would probably be mascara.
Rants/raves/symptoms: Not much, just getting a bit harder to roll over in bed.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Nada at the moment
Questions? None
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? Some sort of lip gloss because my lips are always so wrinkly I at least want them looking good if nothing else.
Rants: don't have any Raves: it's hump day! Tomorrow is H's surprise baby shower and I'm ANTSY with excitement! I can't ever keep secrets from him! Symptoms: feeling huge, walking is hard, adulting is hard.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Need to write the thank you cards! I keep forgetting! Miss Manners would be ashamed!
Questions?
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? I loathe wearing makeup because I have such horrible allergies, and pregnancy doesn't allow for meds, so I'm squeaking by with mascara until my beloved Allegra and I can be friends again.
@mrsmartinez16 my boobs have started feeling achey again too. I read in What to Expect that there is a surge of hormones in the third tri that can cause the reappearance of major mood swings, so I'm guessing the booby ache could be from that too. I haven't leaked or anything yet, tho, so it could be lactation?
@mrsschmity good luck on your test! You've got this! @mrsmartinez16 hooray for hair @BakerBird525 I hear you about work. I haven't checked out... yet. But my enthusiasm and drive to "go the extra mile" sure has.
How far along are you? 29w4d Rants/raves/symptoms:Woke up in the night and my always-active baby was unmovable. I freaked out (because that seems like the best approach in the middle of the night) and drink a ton of apple juice. It worked almost instantly and I felt silly for worrying. It was just really not like him to not budge even when I was jostling my belly around (poor guy- midnight harassment). Rave: seemingly rested again today. Taking tomorrow off for an ultrasound (is it necessary to take the whole day? No. Will be it be a nice treat? Yes it will). What are you doing to prepare for baby? I know those of you with sweet nurseries put me to shame but at least I cleared the area in our bedroom where the basinette will go and plan to decorate that wall on the weekend. My daughter was pretty upset that I moved her dresser to do it (as was the dog, for no explainable reason) but she needs to get used to change . GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice?Body shop BB cream. I used to never wear make up but I love to use it as a moisturizer in the morning- just seems to even everything out.
Raves: my family will just carry everything around for me, because I'm pregnant and "mustn't exert myself". This is awesome because I'm supremely lazy.
Symptoms: Oxygen. where did you go?
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Not
Questions? @mrsmartinez16our baby never tried it out because the fancy pack n play was at my parents house. Just try out different places, your baby will decide what's comfortable Some babies go straight to the crib no problem!
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? Foundation- i have terrible skin But my favorite is eyeliner/eyeshadow
Rant - Slept like shit. I think I've given up on ever sleeping again. Rave - My friend had her baby last night! So happy for her. So scared that I'm next....
Questions?
Does anyone else get BHs every time they get up after sitting for a while? It seems like every time I get out of bed or off the couch to pee my belly gets suuuper hard. I assumed that's BHs going on.
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice?
Concealer. Foundation is too heavy on my skin so I used a tinted moisturizer but I have this god awful red birth mark on my forehead that it doesn't cover so I need that ish so it doesn't look like I got a baseball bat straight to the forehead.
@ahernandez16 - My stomach does that too and I've been assuming that it's BH. But I'm pretty oblivious, so I would't take my word for it. Congrats to your friend!
Rants/raves/symptoms: Contractions Yesterday it was almost enough that I needed to call about getting checked out. We'll see what today is like. It stresses me out when it's borderline on if I should call.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? bed rest, drinking lots of water
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? BB cream!
DS 9/2/13 was a BFP from an IUI! Triplets due 6/29/16 also from an IUI!
@mrsschmity Yep re that weird pain! Had a US on Monday and baby's head was down, I figure it had something to do with that, and/or my RLP radiating to other ligaments (I made these both up.)
How far along are you? 31+4
Rants/raves/symptoms: Oy. What a week. On top of some family stuff I got this horrific head cold that really knocked me out of commission. Worst is the nosebleeds/bloody boogers that really creep me out every time. And feeling like my head is underwater. Also have a real pain in my ribs, US determined that baby's butt is just right up there in my ribcage. RAVE: that we got to see baby this week! The tech showed us some 4D images and it is so so so crazy.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Nothing new and exciting.
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? These days (and probably from now on) undereye concealer! And lip balm.
@edeibel89 Yes on psychotic dreams! Some of them are so random... Not cool, baby brain, not cool.
@mrsschmity Good luck on your test! When are you taking it?
@mrsallikat and @kballew10 I tried to get my husband to feel the baby's head (?) the other day and he was like...I don't want to push against your stomach, his head is still soft. Made me laugh.
@ahernandez16 Yeah, I get them like a clockwork when I need to pee which makes it oh so much more comfortable... Not really after I stand up though. Just sort of random. And yay for your friend!
How far along are you?
30+5
Rants/raves/symptoms:
So tired. But really looking forward to the weekend! Family from out of town has been staying with us for two weeks and I'm ready to reclaim my house and the baby's room so I can continue my OCD stuff organization there. They are leaving tomorrow. I'm also eating Trader Joe's triple ginger snap cookies. They are amazing. All the symptoms.
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice?
I'm a big fan of those travel palettes that have everything in them plus a BB cream. My current one was a splurge and I'm really enjoying it.
@edeibel89 INSANE dreams... like really wacky and make me question my sanity. I've also had 3 separate dreams about twins this pregnancy (in all of them my sister who already has 2 girls is the one that has the twins and they are boys) so weird.
How far along are you? 29+5
Rants/raves/symptoms: Awake at 4am again for 2 hours... thats starting to get really old!
What are you doing to prepare for baby? My breast pump came yesterday through insurance so that was good! Feel a bit more prepared everyday as things start to get delivered.
Questions? Can it please be Saturday?? I cannot stand sitting in my office all day long anymore, my back hurts no matter how often I get up and walk around and I'm already siting on a yoga ball!
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? Hard to pick one, I don't wear a lot of makeup at all, but I NEED mascara (blonde eyelashes) lip gloss, and some under eye concealer (pale skin & dark circles... not a good look!)
@DeePaddy24 I’ve been wearing my husband’s clothes for at
least 2 months now. All my normal lounging t-shirts look like baby tees on me
so I’ve been stealing his giant ones.
How far along are you? 32w2d
Rants/raves/symptoms: Rants - woke up unable to breathe I was so stuffed up and now I can't stop sneezing and sniffling. Raves - Had my doc appt yesterday and everything still looks great. He showed us how the baby is practicing breathing movements. Also baby is over 5 pounds now, what??! Symptoms - snissing, tired, nothing new really
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Starting to pack up the house. Doc said I'd be good to move by the time baby is 2-4 weeks old as far as my own recovery, but I might as well get started now. Also have a string of classes scheduled between now and may.
Questions: Anyone else's doc mention inducing labor if the baby is late? My doc brought it up yesterday, especially since we just told him we're moving. Any pros/cons? Any STMs have experience with it from their first?
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? Mascara for sure. My lashes are blonde and I look like I have alopecia without some dark mascara on.
Rants/raves/symptoms: Rants: Crazy week at work and feeling overwhelmed. Rave: Someone bought our travel system! I need to stop stalking the registry... Symptoms: Shitty sleep. Horrible heartburn. Stupid swelling.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Nothing in particular lately... gestating.
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? I have to wear foundation because my skin is crappy, but my fave is eyeliner and mascara.
Rants/raves/symptoms: Rant: I am so bugged by my husband right now! I'm on limited activity, so he has to do the brunt of everything right now, which really just translates to everything that I normally do along with working my 40 hour a week job. And he does it - he bathes my DS, cleans the house, makes dinner but he seems annoyed the whole time. And he just gets pissy if I ask him to do anything, you know, like please come and pick up DS who is having a tantrum and needs to go to sleep and I can't pick him up. Or please pick up DS from daycare so I can go home and rest since I'm having all of this belly pain that may or may not be contractions. Nope, asking too much! I get that me not being physically able to do much is annoying but guess what, it's way worse for me!!! Ass! Rave: No rave today, too bugged! Symptoms: A lot of belly pain. It's mostly on one side but kind of moves to the whole belly. Mostly if I walk too much. The doctor said my uterus will really be stretching and growing in the next few weeks, hopefully that's all it is.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Still stocking up on diapers and Target gift cards (that we'll use for formula - my crazy way of saving money without actually saving money, I've got issues!)
Questions? No
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? Eyeliner/Mascara
@chelseay416 my daughter wouldn't budge 2 weeks past my due date so I was induced with her. I didn't mind it at all as it gave us the chance to plan that day carefully. Induction started around 8am and by 8:45pm, there she was. I do recommend an epidural asap if you're induced though, as apparently the pain is much worse than non-induced.
Rants/raves/symptoms: Rants: Crazy week at work and feeling overwhelmed. Rave: Someone bought our travel system! I need to stop stalking the registry... Symptoms: Shitty sleep. Horrible heartburn. Stupid swelling.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Nothing in particular lately... gestating.
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? I have to wear foundation because my skin is crappy, but my fave is eyeliner and mascara.
Hah my sister pleaded with me to stop stalking my registry so I wont be disappointed in case not everything I wanted was bought. It's hard when there's stuff we really need on it
Rants/raves/symptoms: Rave: I actually got some decent sleep last night!!! It's amazing what a difference it makes in my overall outlook on life (it also greatly reduces my "stabby-ness quotient.")
What are you doing to prepare for baby? We've got the basics, I think. Don't ask me to see the nursery...it doesn't look like much yet. But it's getting there. Also: we've taken our hospital tour, pre-registered, and the co-sleeper arrived. I feel pretty good about the progress overall. OH...AND my three year old seems to have FINALLY gotten this whole potty training thing down now and I am SO glad! That really will help, just having one kiddo in diapers. Whew!
Questions? Nothing right now
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? I feel a lot better when I curl my eyelashes and put on mascara and tinted lip balm.
@chelseay416 I was induced with my first. We went in on Sunday night with the plan that they would "ripen my cervix" that night (they give you some kind of medication that makes it easier to go into labor with the Pitocin) and then they were going to give me the Pitocin the next morning. But the first medicine put me into labor and I dilated from a 2 to a 10 in 3 hours. I definitely liked being able to plan when I was going to the hospital. I was able to shower, straighten my hair, no worries about a baby on the side of the freeway. Also, it was nice knowing that my husband would be there to drive me and be there from the very beginning, vs. if my water broke at work or something. We also rented some movies that we took to the hospital to watch while I was in labor. It was a very stress free way to do it!
@mrsschmity we got new floors put in last week and it's the BEST. Not only do I keep admiring how nice they look, the relief you feel when it's done makes it so worth the work!
@colesmom33 I am a fellow gift card hoarder. I also sometimes buy them myself as a way of budgeting for when I know I have expenses coming up.
How far along are you? 29+2 and feeling more like 50 weeks
Rants/raves/symptoms: Definitely lots more painful bumping around in the last week or so. Before I could feel him moving, now I can FEEL him moving. I also got my TDAP Monday and have a big knot and a bruise from it which is making my arm seem way more sore than one tiny shot seems like it should. Like many others, the nausea has returned, especially after I eat anything which sucks, since I want to eat all. the. time.
Raves: I got a much overdue pedicure yesterday and my feet still hurt but it helped AND the lady took pity of my poor swollen pregnant lady feet and gave me an extra long foot rub. Total heaven.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? We ordered some shelving for my son's room and bought him a new "big boy bed" that I'm hoping we can get put together this weekend. Our crib mattress is in his toddler bed and judging by how much he freaked out when we moved the changing table he no longer uses to our bedroom, I'm hoping to get this done quickly so it's more about "look how great your new bed is because you're too big for the old bed!" and skip right over the "and the baby needs the mattress, so time to move."
Questions?
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? MAC foundation. I can go drugstore for most of my cosmetics but I have a deep, emotional commitment to my MAC foundation and my Benefit Roller Lash mascara.
Raves: I love getting to leave work 6 hours early! The weather is gorgeous and a local delivery started selling middle eastern cuisine! Currently munching an amazing falafel, I didn't have to drive a half hour + to buy!
Symptoms: baby kic
What are you doing to prepare for baby?
Questions?
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice?
@colesmom33 good to know! Those were the benefits I was thinking about too. We live about an hour minimum from the hospital and i'm terrified i'll go into labor during rush hour and it will take 2 hours just to get to the hospital, so if i could plan ahead, that would obviously help a lot.
Re: Wednesday Check-In

Rants/raves/symptoms:
Rant: Something went horribly wrong this morning when I made the coffee - it just tastes like really watered down coffee. Not cool, coffee maker. Not cool.
Rave: I finally finished the 800 page book that I was reading in preparation for my test that I have to take! Now all I need to do is brush up on some of the chapters I didn't do as well on and start the test. Fingers crossed!
Symptoms: The usual.
What are you doing to prepare for baby?
Floors get installed next weekend! Finally.
Questions?
Anyone having what feels like a pinching pain down in the lower uterus area? Could this be lightning crotch? I thought that was just in the vag, but what do I know. Maybe baby jabbing the cervix?

Rants/raves/symptoms: Rant: I went to make meatloaf last night and the stupid ground beef wasn't thawed all the way so we had to settle for Tyson chicken nuggets, which is NOT what I wanted. Rave: H is done with the study class for his PE exam, which he takes on Friday, so we're almost done with the stress of that! Symptoms: Just tired and sore and swollen.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Not a lot right now. We're in a pretty good place as far as getting things ready, but once I have my shower I'll have a LOT to do.
Questions? Is anyone else having incredibly psychotic dreams? I had a dream the other night I got tazed, while pregnant, for helping an old lady with literal bird's legs, there was one where my baby's neck was so weak his head popped off, and then last night I had a dream my 3 yr old nephew lost my baby while I was in the hospital after I had him. WTF?????
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? I'd have to say eyeliner and mascara. I know it says one item but I'm super lazy and since I've been pregnant those are pretty much the only things I wear. I look like I'm 12 if I don't.
How far along are you?

Rants/raves/symptoms:
Rant: Seems like I'm outgrowing everything this week. My wedding rings are done, & now a few of my sweatshirts that fit okay last week (snug, but comfy) are completely out of the picture, lol. I'm not going to be left with anything comfy to lounge in...time to invade H's closet! Rave: I had plans with one of my best friends for tonight & she had to reschedule...this actually makes me really happy! I wanted to reschedule myself but didn't want to be the one to do it, lol. Also, H's best friend & his wife had a beautiful baby girl yesterday morning! It made me even more excited for our little guy! Symptoms: All of them.
What are you doing to prepare for baby?
I've been reading The Happiest Baby on the Block. It both overwhelms me & makes me feel more prepared, lol.
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice?
Because of this lovely pregnancy skin, I'd have to say my makeup item of choice right now is my BB cream & a good foundation. But mascara & eye liner are quick & easy...& can make a huge difference, especially on the days I really feel like crap.

@mrsschmity : Good luck on your test! And I think I know the pain you are talking about. Sometimes it feels like a sharp RLP or something just below your belly? Lightning crotch, to me, seems to just be in the vag area and not really a pinch, but more of a shooting pain.
How far along are you? 30w2d
Rants/raves/symptoms: Rant: Side of left ribs still hurt a ton. I sneezed last night and felt like a rib cracked. Also, slept too long on one side apparently and now my right hip is super sore. Is this the point where my body starts breaking down, because that's what it feels like! Rave: HDBD! Um...and...not much happening at work. I've pretty much checked out of work and I don't think anyone is expecting much from me. :shrug: works for me! Symptoms: Nighttime hip pain, congested, rib/stomach pain, BH.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Got the last slot for a childbirth 'express' (6 hours) class that happens in May, pre-registered for the hospital, matted and framed the nursery prints, and unpacked all the clothing/cloth stuff we have so far to get it washed. Next is getting the Thank You cards written and sent.
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? If I'm planning to leave the house without showering and don't have time for make up, I at least have to put some blush on these pale cheeks and some chapstick.

@edeibel89: Ugh, PE exam. H is considering taking his in the fall. Good luck to your H!
@DeePaddy24: Yep, I've pretty much grown out of my lounging things, too. I started borrowing H's tshirts to sleep in a couple of weeks ago. He made me a little a pile of what would fit me on his side of the closet so I don't rifle through his shirts all the time, haha.
@BakerBird525: Wow, you've been so productive! Way to go!
How far along are you? 29 weeks!
Rants/raves/symptoms:
Rave: Midwife appt today, so I get to hear baby's heartbeat again! Also thisclose to being done with the kitchen. Just a few final details to wrap up tonight before we have houseguests stay through the weekend!
What are you doing to prepare for baby?
Organized shower gifts, pondering nursery decor.
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice?
I have got to have foundation and concealer. This acne and redness is loud and proud. If I had perfect skin, I wouldn't be able to go without mascara.
How far along are you? 33+1
Rants/raves/symptoms: Rant: can't climb into my bed in the mornings anymore. Woke up to pee and our bed is so high it hurt to even try to get in so I settled for the couch.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Nothing
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? Mascara/eyeliner. I love how many "are you okay? You look exhausted" comments I get if I don't have eyeliner and mascara on.
How far along are you? 30w-2d
Rants/raves/symptoms: Rants, just tired so tired. I can't fall asleep on my left side so I fall asleep on the right then wake up in a panic and say to myself "left side stupid" H thinks I'm losing it. Rave, I have my 30w appointment today so I get to hear the little guys heart beat always makes me feel better. Oh and we decided on a name my father passed away less then a year ago so we wanted Brian to be in the name ..... not too many variations by the way.....and someone mentioned my mom may find it hard to call the baby the same name so we are going with Bryant.....middle name and last were already picked so his initials are going to be BRO which H thinks is hilarious.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Nothing really feel super lazy, showers on the 30th so I figure once I have to organize that I will have to kick into high gear.
Questions? Nope!
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? Foundation.....where is this glowing skin people are talking about!
@DeePaddy24 I thought I was going to get by with a couple of maternity tshirts and be good, but my belly just keeps growing out. The struggle is real.
@BakerBird525 Thank you! Yeah I have a feeling the pinching is baby kicking my cervix. It does not feel good. I wish I were as productive as you lately!
@crdo Good luck at your appt today! And I can't wait to see pics of the finished kitchen reno!
@Shanna2016 Good luck at the appt today!
How far along are you? 31 +4
Rants/raves/symptoms: Rants....I need sleep. Raves: It is humpday. Soon the weekend will be here. Symptoms: Same.
Questions: I have pinching pain too, but it has been different than lightening crotch. Lightening crotch to me has felt like sharp shooting intense pains, but it could feel different for others.
Crazy dreams? OH YES!!!! I wake up drentched in sweat, heart racing, and almost in a panic.
GTKY: Eyeliner.
@mrsschmity - Good luck on your test!
@edeibel89 - The dreams! I have no idea how my mind comes up with this stuff. If you figure out how to stop them, LET ME KNOW. Also, good luck to your H! I've considered taking the PE, but cannot imagine how much studying I would have to do to remind myself what I learned in college. Props to him!
@DeePaddy24 - I've been rocking H's t-shirts for a while now and the only "sweatshirts" I wear are the ones that zip... and that's clearly not happening right now. At least it should warm up soon...
@BakerBird525 - You make me feel like a slacker...
How far along are you? 29w6d
Rants/raves/symptoms: LO has stated stretching it's limbs and stabbing me in various spots. Not kicking, just slow stretches. It hurts! I asked H if he wanted to feel what I assume is a foot and he didn't believe me and then when he felt it, he freaked out. It made me laugh. Rant: I thought today was Thursday... Rave: Now that I'm aware of the real day, I have nothing to rave about. I'm just mad that I have to work for 2.5 more days (half day on Friday).
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Last baby shower this weekend and then finishing up the registry! Also, cleaning like there's no tomorrow so that we can list our house in the next few weeks.
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? Mascara. Most of the time, that's all I wear because my eyelashes are blond-ish and it drives me crazy that you can hardly see them.
@edeibel89 - I have been having weird dreams too. I'll usually remember them right when I wake up, but then just a little bit later I can't remember what happened for the life of me. They're definitely weird though.
@Bakerbird525 - Just reading about everything you are doing to get ready for baby makes me tired
@crdo - Glad to hear the kitchen is almost done!
How far along are you? 30 + 5
Rants/raves/symptoms: Nothing new. Just starting to get more uncomfortable in general.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Had our second prenatal class at the hospital last night and learned about baby's care, what they do in the hospital after birth, bringing baby home, and there was a pediatrician there to talk about care, appointments to expect, and to answer questions. Appointment with my OB today, so I'll get to hear his heart beat again.
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? Definitely Mascara. I look asleep without it.
@BakerBird525 I had pretty bad rib pain the other day too, and looked it up online because I thought maybe I had hurt myself, and apparently the ribs expand to make room for all those pushed up organs during pregnancy, sometimes up to like 10 centimeters! That blew my mind, and my husband gained even more respect for the pain I'm going thru, lol.
How far along are you? 31 weeks today!
Rant:had an ultrasound yesterday, and baby was breach so we STILL don't know if we're having a boy or a girl. I'm okay with the surprise, and I got to see my baby again, and everything seems to be progressing well, but it's just so funny that this kid is already being stubborn like his or her parents!
Rave: got to see my little ones cute smooshy ultrasound face. Its killing me how cute it is!
Symptoms: I actually feel pretty good...normal aches and pains, but mostly just anxious to hold my baby!
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Finally went out and bought a few gender neutral outfits. We were waiting until this scan to see if they could tell us the gender to buy anything, but it looks like we're going to have a surprise!
Questions? Nope!
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? Eyeliner, definitely. And some sort of shadow. And chapstick!
mrsschmity Good luck on your test!!
DeePaddy24 The swelling is insane! As terrible as I know it is, I'm glad I'm not the only one in the struggle!
Shanna2016 Yay for picking a name! That's a great one too, a nice variation.
@BakerBird525 writing thank you cards sis the worst. It took me four hours to write them, I'm surprised I didn't end up with carpal tunnel.
How far along are you? 32 weeks and 2 days
Rants/raves/symptoms: Rants- I'm super over the swelling. My feet, my fingers. I can't drink anymore water than I already am, I'll drown! It's too much. Also, it's making me crazy that the nursery isn't done yet. Raves- It's so reassuring to have the baby essentials. The crazy side of me was freaking out that we didn't have essentials for her. Symptoms- Swelling And my boobs are starting to hurt again, not sure that's normal.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Every night has been dedicated to reorganizing some part of the house to accommodate her stuff. We had our final ultrasound yesterday and the tech told us "OMG she has so much hair", aside from that she's perfectly healthy lol
Questions? STM: Did your LO sleep in the bassinet part of your pack and play? And for how long. We're have a small 2 bedroom home so we don't want to wait too long to transition to her crib but I'm concerned that the bassinet in this thing isn't comfy enough for her.
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? I love makeup but I get up too early to put on a full face everyday lol. I wear foundation, mascara, and bronzer every day, so those I can't live without. If I had to pick one it would probably be mascara.

What are you doing to prepare for baby? Need to write the thank you cards! I keep forgetting! Miss Manners would be ashamed!
Questions?
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? I loathe wearing makeup because I have such horrible allergies, and pregnancy doesn't allow for meds, so I'm squeaking by with mascara until my beloved Allegra and I can be friends again.

@mrsmartinez16 hooray for hair
@BakerBird525 I hear you about work. I haven't checked out... yet. But my enthusiasm and drive to "go the extra mile" sure has.
How far along are you? 29w4d
Rants/raves/symptoms:Woke up in the night and my always-active baby was unmovable. I freaked out (because that seems like the best approach in the middle of the night) and drink a ton of apple juice. It worked almost instantly and I felt silly for worrying. It was just really not like him to not budge even when I was jostling my belly around (poor guy- midnight harassment).
Rave: seemingly rested again today. Taking tomorrow off for an ultrasound (is it necessary to take the whole day? No. Will be it be a nice treat? Yes it will).
What are you doing to prepare for baby? I know those of you with sweet nurseries put me to shame but at least I cleared the area in our bedroom where the basinette will go and plan to decorate that wall on the weekend. My daughter was pretty upset that I moved her dresser to do it (as was the dog, for no explainable reason) but she needs to get used to change .
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice?Body shop BB cream. I used to never wear make up but I love to use it as a moisturizer in the morning- just seems to even everything out.
How far along are you? 28w
Rants: none really
Raves: my family will just carry everything around for me, because I'm pregnant and "mustn't exert myself". This is awesome because I'm supremely lazy.
Symptoms: Oxygen. where did you go?
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Not
Questions? @mrsmartinez16 our baby never tried it out because the fancy pack n play was at my parents house. Just try out different places, your baby will decide what's comfortable Some babies go straight to the crib no problem!
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? Foundation- i have terrible skin But my favorite is eyeliner/eyeshadow
How far along are you?

Rants/raves/symptoms:
Rant - Slept like shit. I think I've given up on ever sleeping again. Rave - My friend had her baby last night! So happy for her. So scared that I'm next....
Questions?
Does anyone else get BHs every time they get up after sitting for a while? It seems like every time I get out of bed or off the couch to pee my belly gets suuuper hard. I assumed that's BHs going on.
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice?
Concealer. Foundation is too heavy on my skin so I used a tinted moisturizer but I have this god awful red birth mark on my forehead that it doesn't cover so I need that ish so it doesn't look like I got a baseball bat straight to the forehead.
How far along are you? 29 weeks!!
Rants/raves/symptoms: Contractions Yesterday it was almost enough that I needed to call about getting checked out. We'll see what today is like. It stresses me out when it's borderline on if I should call.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? bed rest, drinking lots of water
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? BB cream!
Triplets due 6/29/16 also from an IUI!
@mrsschmity Yep re that weird pain! Had a US on Monday and baby's head was down, I figure it had something to do with that, and/or my RLP radiating to other ligaments (I made these both up.)
How far along are you? 31+4
Rants/raves/symptoms: Oy. What a week. On top of some family stuff I got this horrific head cold that really knocked me out of commission. Worst is the nosebleeds/bloody boogers that really creep me out every time. And feeling like my head is underwater. Also have a real pain in my ribs, US determined that baby's butt is just right up there in my ribcage. RAVE: that we got to see baby this week! The tech showed us some 4D images and it is so so so crazy.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Nothing new and exciting.
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? These days (and probably from now on) undereye concealer! And lip balm.
@edeibel89 Yes on psychotic dreams! Some of them are so random... Not cool, baby brain, not cool.
@mrsschmity Good luck on your test! When are you taking it?
@mrsallikat and @kballew10 I tried to get my husband to feel the baby's head (?) the other day and he was like...I don't want to push against your stomach, his head is still soft. Made me laugh.
@ahernandez16 Yeah, I get them like a clockwork when I need to pee which makes it oh so much more comfortable... Not really after I stand up though. Just sort of random. And yay for your friend!
How far along are you?

Rants/raves/symptoms:
So tired. But really looking forward to the weekend! Family from out of town has been staying with us for two weeks and I'm ready to reclaim my house and the baby's room so I can continue my OCD stuff organization there. They are leaving tomorrow. I'm also eating Trader Joe's triple ginger snap cookies. They are amazing. All the symptoms.
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice?
I'm a big fan of those travel palettes that have everything in them plus a BB cream. My current one was a splurge and I'm really enjoying it.

Rants/raves/symptoms:
Nausea is back with a vengeance, in addition to all the loveliness that is the third tri. Woo hoo!
What are you doing to prepare for baby?
Trying to rest
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice?
I have almost white eyelashes, so mascara, all the time!
@mrsschmity good luck on your test!
@edeibel89 INSANE dreams... like really wacky and make me question my sanity. I've also had 3 separate dreams about twins this pregnancy (in all of them my sister who already has 2 girls is the one that has the twins and they are boys) so weird.
How far along are you? 29+5
Rants/raves/symptoms: Awake at 4am again for 2 hours... thats starting to get really old!
What are you doing to prepare for baby? My breast pump came yesterday through insurance so that was good! Feel a bit more prepared everyday as things start to get delivered.
Questions? Can it please be Saturday?? I cannot stand sitting in my office all day long anymore, my back hurts no matter how often I get up and walk around and I'm already siting on a yoga ball!
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? Hard to pick one, I don't wear a lot of makeup at all, but I NEED mascara (blonde eyelashes) lip gloss, and some under eye concealer (pale skin & dark circles... not a good look!)
@DeePaddy24 I’ve been wearing my husband’s clothes for at least 2 months now. All my normal lounging t-shirts look like baby tees on me so I’ve been stealing his giant ones.
How far along are you? 32w2d
Rants/raves/symptoms: Rants - woke up unable to breathe I was so stuffed up and now I can't stop sneezing and sniffling. Raves - Had my doc appt yesterday and everything still looks great. He showed us how the baby is practicing breathing movements. Also baby is over 5 pounds now, what??! Symptoms - snissing, tired, nothing new really
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Starting to pack up the house. Doc said I'd be good to move by the time baby is 2-4 weeks old as far as my own recovery, but I might as well get started now. Also have a string of classes scheduled between now and may.
Questions: Anyone else's doc mention inducing labor if the baby is late? My doc brought it up yesterday, especially since we just told him we're moving. Any pros/cons? Any STMs have experience with it from their first?
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? Mascara for sure. My lashes are blonde and I look like I have alopecia without some dark mascara on.
How far along are you? 32 weeks today.
Rants/raves/symptoms: Rants: Crazy week at work and feeling overwhelmed. Rave: Someone bought our travel system! I need to stop stalking the registry... Symptoms: Shitty sleep. Horrible heartburn. Stupid swelling.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Nothing in particular lately... gestating.
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? I have to wear foundation because my skin is crappy, but my fave is eyeliner and mascara.
How far along are you? 29 weeks
Rants/raves/symptoms: Rant: I am so bugged by my husband right now! I'm on limited activity, so he has to do the brunt of everything right now, which really just translates to everything that I normally do along with working my 40 hour a week job. And he does it - he bathes my DS, cleans the house, makes dinner but he seems annoyed the whole time. And he just gets pissy if I ask him to do anything, you know, like please come and pick up DS who is having a tantrum and needs to go to sleep and I can't pick him up. Or please pick up DS from daycare so I can go home and rest since I'm having all of this belly pain that may or may not be contractions. Nope, asking too much! I get that me not being physically able to do much is annoying but guess what, it's way worse for me!!! Ass! Rave: No rave today, too bugged! Symptoms: A lot of belly pain. It's mostly on one side but kind of moves to the whole belly. Mostly if I walk too much. The doctor said my uterus will really be stretching and growing in the next few weeks, hopefully that's all it is.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Still stocking up on diapers and Target gift cards (that we'll use for formula - my crazy way of saving money without actually saving money, I've got issues!)
Questions? No
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? Eyeliner/Mascara
Hah my sister pleaded with me to stop stalking my registry so I wont be disappointed in case not everything I wanted was bought. It's hard when there's stuff we really need on it
How far along are you? 32 weeks today!
Rants/raves/symptoms: Some Braxton hicks contractions and sciatic nerve pain. Oh and lots and lots of heartburn!
What are you doing to prepare for baby? We ordered the Nursery Furniture this week finally!
Questions? None today!
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? Eyeliner
How far along are you? I'll be 33 weeks tomorrow.
Rants/raves/symptoms: Rave: I actually got some decent sleep last night!!! It's amazing what a difference it makes in my overall outlook on life (it also greatly reduces my "stabby-ness quotient.")
What are you doing to prepare for baby? We've got the basics, I think. Don't ask me to see the nursery...it doesn't look like much yet. But it's getting there. Also: we've taken our hospital tour, pre-registered, and the co-sleeper arrived. I feel pretty good about the progress overall. OH...AND my three year old seems to have FINALLY gotten this whole potty training thing down now and I am SO glad! That really will help, just having one kiddo in diapers. Whew!
Questions? Nothing right now
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? I feel a lot better when I curl my eyelashes and put on mascara and tinted lip balm.
@colesmom33 I am a fellow gift card hoarder. I also sometimes buy them myself as a way of budgeting for when I know I have expenses coming up.
How far along are you? 29+2 and feeling more like 50 weeks
Rants/raves/symptoms: Definitely lots more painful bumping around in the last week or so. Before I could feel him moving, now I can FEEL him moving. I also got my TDAP Monday and have a big knot and a bruise from it which is making my arm seem way more sore than one tiny shot seems like it should. Like many others, the nausea has returned, especially after I eat anything which sucks, since I want to eat all. the. time.
Raves: I got a much overdue pedicure yesterday and my feet still hurt but it helped AND the lady took pity of my poor swollen pregnant lady feet and gave me an extra long foot rub. Total heaven.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? We ordered some shelving for my son's room and bought him a new "big boy bed" that I'm hoping we can get put together this weekend. Our crib mattress is in his toddler bed and judging by how much he freaked out when we moved the changing table he no longer uses to our bedroom, I'm hoping to get this done quickly so it's more about "look how great your new bed is because you're too big for the old bed!" and skip right over the "and the baby needs the mattress, so time to move."
Questions?
GTKY: When you wear makeup, what's your must have makeup item of choice? MAC foundation. I can go drugstore for most of my cosmetics but I have a deep, emotional commitment to my MAC foundation and my Benefit Roller Lash mascara.
How far along are you? 29 weeks today!
Rants/raves/symptoms: Rants: none at the moment
