How big is baby? A bunch of asparagus

Team Blue, Pink, Green? Pink

Appointments this week? Yep! My last one with my current practice, actually, on Thursday.

Symptoms? Everything. Specifically killer heartburn, sore back, and terrible sleep. 

What have you done to prepare for baby this week? Um, nothing, I guess. Working on packing and the move for the most part. Oh! I did try to get my tdap, but the wait at Minute Clinic was insane. Going to try again on Tuesday and will definitely reserve a spot in line before I go.

Rants/Raves/Questions: Ugh, being a responsible adult/homeowner suuuuuuuucks. We opted to get our septic tank serviced this past week in an effort to be good home sellers (we've only been in the house for 5 years, but apparently it hadn't been pumped for at least 20!) and the guy tells us one of the pipes is out of alignment and needs to be fixed asap. It's going to cost us $1500.

@Blueberry85 That's terrible!! Good for you for being good sellers, though. We are in a similar situation except our oven has never been cleaned (this may need to go in FFFC) and I've spent the last two days scrubbing it with vinegar and baking soda so the next owner could have a decent oven. Wish I would have done this when we moved in instead--it's awful!

How big is baby? Eggplant or nintendo

Team Blue, Pink, Green?  Green

Symptoms? Back is sore and lots of movement

What have you done to prepare for baby this week? Still working on my older daughters room so the baby can move in her room

Rants/Raves/Questions: GD sucks but my weight gain has stalled at least if there's one benefit

GTKY: What's your go-to snack? Lately it's been canteloupe with ricotta cheese - GD diet approved!

rachelmiller03

How far along are you? 28 Weeks- Officially 3rd Trimester!

How big is baby? Eggplant

Team Blue, Pink, Green? Green

Appointments this week? Regular appt. Thursday.

Symptoms? Heartburn/indigestion from hell. Insomnia has also begun. If DS gets up in the middle of the night and comes to our bed, I have to go the guest room or couch or else I get kidney shots from the 18 month old.

What have you done to prepare for baby this week? Cleaning out closets and getting ready to switch rooms.

Rants/Raves/Questions: I found out this week my glucose test was normal! I had GD with my 1st pregnancy, so I thought I would have it this time around for sure. Certainly a good surprise. 

Also... I am due the last day of the month, so that means all of us April 17 mommies are now officially in the Third Trimester!!! 

GTKY: What's your go-to snack? Pretzels or cheese. 

Blueberry85

@pinkshades05 I don't blame you for putting off cleaning your oven - it's a sucky job. Well done getting your house on the market this week! Hopefully it'll sell quickly for you!

Taylor72

@rachelmiller03 YAY for third tri!! I was just wondering this morning if we were all in the 3rd tri now. 

peachy0709

How far along are you? 29 weeks, but we are tentatively scheduled for 4/18

How big is baby? Acorn squash 

Team Blue, Pink, Green? Pink

Appointments this week? Once the hospital calls me to set up my dietitian appointment, I will hopefully get in this week so I can make sure I'm doing everything right for my GD. I'll have another appointment next week for the final doctor in the practice, even though my c-section is scheduled with my doctor. 

Symptoms? Heartburn and pelvic pressure. Also, this baby knows how to PARTY! She's definitely the kind of baby where you see her moving through my clothing. 

What have you done to prepare for baby this week? Nothing new from last week - we're going to get our registry completion coupon the same weekend my dad and DH are going to paint the nursery, so that's exciting. 

Rants/Raves/Questions: I need to get back into working out but wah wah wah. It's not like it's even that hard, I'm just going to walk on the treadmill in the nice temperature controlled gym and watch the news and listen to jams. You'd think I'd want the alone time, but instead I'm cranky that I have to do it. 

GTKY: What's your go-to snack? I'm pretty boring right now as I navigate the GD diagnosis. The sad thing is, I am so thankful for the diagnosis. I was feeling very, very unlike myself and knowing that I was having spiking and crashing blood sugar makes SO MUCH SENSE.

Appointments this week? today, regular check up

Rants/Raves/Questions: Just so sleepy  

GTKY: What's your go-to snack? right now, cereal---specifically Cap'n Crunch
