How big is baby? 

Team Blue, Pink, Green? Blue

Appointments this week? Next week.

Symptoms? Feeling a little better this week but it's still uncomfortable to sleep and heartburn sucks!

What have you done to prepare for baby this week? Nothing for the baby but we are in the process of selling our condo. We went on the market Wednesday and have had over 20 showings and more than 8 offers. It was insane keeping my house clean, my kids out of the house and busy, and not getting a break all day. BUT it will all be worth it in a month or so! So excited to be moving to a bigger place (wherever we can buy or rent)!

Rants/Raves/Questions: None. I'm about to collapse.

GTKY: Do you prefer vacationing in the mountains or by the sea? I think I'm an ocean vacation kind of person. I prefer a good beach trip over hiking/skiing/etc.

How big is baby? acorn squash

Team Blue, Pink, Green? blue

Appointments this week? none edit: pregnancy brain is real..! I just remembered I have an appointment this Thursday

Symptoms? insomnia, heartburn, lower back pain

What have you done to prepare for baby this week? we were buying DS a new car seat to free up his old one for the baby.

Rants/Raves/Questions: i think we successfully evicted the squirrels it of our future nursery walls and saved ourselves a grand from having to call the professionals.

GTKY: Do you prefer vacationing in the mountains or by the sea? for sure the mountains. DH and I hiked a lot while we were dating. Right now we're 1 mile from the bay with a beach but rarely go. Then again Houston is not known for their beaches.

@pinkshades05 I hope you get competitive bids, 8 offers is huge!

How big is baby? apparently a bucket of popcorn. Who really knows. 

Team Blue, Pink, Green? Pink

Appointments this week? Regular check tomorrow 

Symptoms? I'm dying. Okay not really but this sciatic pain is awful and now I'm waddling. 

What have you done to prepare for baby this week? Nothing. 

Rants/Raves/Questions: back pain is my rant. I can't go on 

GTKY: Do you prefer vacationing in the mountains or by the sea? Probably mountains. I'm not a big beach person and my mom has had melanoma several times so I don't love the sun as much as others.

What have you done to prepare for baby this week? Called to put in for my parental leave plus picked up some car seats

Rants/Raves/Questions: I feel like I complain about this every week, but GD sucks - I'm frequently frustrated with trying to figure out what will work

GTKY: Do you prefer vacationing in the mountains or by the sea? I like both, but prefer the sea.  I love the water

How big is baby? A squash of some description

Team Blue, Pink, Green? Pink

Appointments this week? Sigh. Yes. Ultrasound tomorrow to check fluid levels/baby's size. All this because I'm like 99% sure the doctor measured me incorrectly at my appointment last week.

Symptoms? Same old, same old.

What have you done to prepare for baby this week? Finally got my tdap, so that's all done. Apart from that, just getting ready for the big move NEXT WEEK! So, packing, errands, more packing, and some more packing.

Rants/Raves/Questions: See above with the appointment.

GTKY: Do you prefer vacationing in the mountains or by the sea? Definitely ocean.

How big is baby? Acorn Squash

Team Blue, Pink, Green? Green

Appointments this week? none

Symptoms? Same. Getting more tired too.

What have you done to prepare for baby this week? We finally did our big bedroom switch- DS only slept in his new room for 4 hours. Hopefully, he will get used to it in the next 10 weeks. Now to get everything organized.

Rants/Raves/Questions: I am more stressed about getting ready for maternity leave from work, than I am about getting our house together. I have so many huge projects right now. I was really hoping to not return to work after this one was born, but I just don't think that is going to be an option for about another year. 

GTKY: Do you prefer vacationing in the mountains or by the sea? No question the sea. My retirement plans (only 32 years away, HA!) include a beach house.

How big is baby? Asparagus

Team Blue, Pink, Green? Blue

Appointments this week? nope

Symptoms? exhaustion, ligament pain, BH contractions, and the waddle is real over here. 

What have you done to prepare for baby this week? Nothing yet. DH is supposed to finish cleaning up our bedroom this week, since we moved the crib in there it's been such a mess. 

Rants/Raves/Questions: @rachelmiller03 I feel the same. I start training my maternity leave replacement this week and it's stressing me out because I also have huge things I'm trying to finish too before I go that she can't be responsible for since she has no clue what she is doing. I'd also like to not come back after this LO is born, but I know we wouldn't be able to afford it. 

GTKY: Do you prefer vacationing in the mountains or by the sea? I'd say either because I like both views lol. I don't like swimming in the ocean because I don't like stepping where I can't see, and we aren't really big on hiking but enjoy the outdoors. We're boring people lol.

How big is baby? Huge. In the past two weeks, she went from measuring on track to measuring ahead and I can FEEL how much heavier my belly is. I think the ticker says zucchini or something. 

Team Blue, Pink, Green? Pink

Appointments this week? I had 1 of 2 this morning. Meeting with the nutritionist for my GD Thursday.

Symptoms? GD, heartburn, exhaustion, ants in the pants of excitement to meet my person 

What have you done to prepare for baby this week? Finalized the registry for my work shower (it's my second so I'm only having the work one since I didn't work here yet and they offered) and the other registry we are using for the completion discount.  DD was pretty good with her stuff so hopefully we don't have to spent too much to round out baby's needs.  

Rants/Raves/Questions: I had one, forgot it... so I guess mine is pregnancy brain. 

GTKY: Do you prefer vacationing in the mountains or by the sea? By the sea, of course!!! I love a good hike, but the beach is my happy place.
