MollyandD

How far along are you? 29 weeks

How big is baby? Depends on the app. Acorn squash or Hawaiian pineapple 

Any appointments this week? Mine was last week

Symptoms? I've be been having Braxton Hicks contractions, but I didn't know what they were until just yesterday. 

Cravings? Still nothing specific 

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue

Rants/Raves/Questions? I have one more week of school and then it's spring break! The downside is that my husband will be on tour with his band for my spring break plus the week and a half after. 

GTKY-Stolen from Thur: If you could pick the length of pregnancy (with baby being fully developed at whatever length of time), how long would your pregnancy be and why? I have no idea. I have had an easy pregnancy minus the sickness, so it's not really bothering me, but I don't enjoy it. I just wanted the baby. Pregnancy was a means to an end for me. I wouldn't want it to be too short for a few reasons, but I just don't know. This question is too hard.

How far along are you? 28 weeks! Yay third trimester!

How big is baby? An echnida (cute little mammal) or eggplant!

Any appointments this week? I had my 1 hr GTT and then 3 hr GTT and an OB visit last week, nothing this week.

Symptoms? Sleeping is getting harder and harder!

Cravings? No, but I'm back on Diclegis and the nausea is getting better again. Diclegis for the rest of this pregnancy, it's been decided. Hopefully that means the nausea will be mostly okay for the rest of the pregnancy, too. So, no cravings, but a healthy appetite.

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green!

Rants/Raves/Questions? Do not tell me I look big. NO pregnant woman wants to hear that ever, especially not if they failed a 1 hour GTT!

GTKY-Stolen from Thur: If you could pick the length of pregnancy (with baby being fully developed at whatever length of time), how long would your pregnancy be and why? Hard to say. I think I'm fine the 40 weeks, honestly. It's good amount of time to prepare, I think.

How far along are you? 29 weeks

How big is baby? butternut squash

Any appointments this week? I had one last week, but my next one isn't until I'm 32 weeks.

Symptoms? Fatigue, foot cramps, wanting to sleep all of the time

Cravings? After misreading echnida for enchilada in @jayandaplus post, I really want an enchilada now and I just ate breakfast. 

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green

Rants/Raves/Questions? 

GTKY-Stolen from Thur: If you could pick the length of pregnancy (with baby being fully developed at whatever length of time), how long would your pregnancy be and why? I have no idea! That is too much for me to think about.

@MollyandD Yay for spring break! Boo, DH is on tour.

bacorrea

How far along are you? 30 weeks 

How big is baby? A motorcycle helmet? I feel like
probs not though. 

Any appointments this week? I have an appointment on Wednesday. I am assuming I will do the GBS swab? I am going every two weeks
now! Crazy.

Symptoms? I've been having some Braxton Hicks 

Cravings? Nothing really 

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue! 

Rants/Raves/Questions? Hmm Nope 

GTKY-Stolen from Thur: If you could pick the length of pregnancy (with baby being fully developed at whatever length of time), how long would your pregnancy be and why? I would prefer the whole stork theory. I hate being pregnant. I also am not looking forward to birth. So basically if we could do this differently altogether that would be fab

How far along are you? 29 weeks

How big is baby? acorn squash

Any appointments this week? not until 32 weeks

Symptoms? just overall soreness/comfortableness, the calf cramps are no fun 

Cravings? nah

Team Pink/Blue/Green? blue

Rants/Raves/Questions? I think I felt hiccups this morning. That was fun.

GTKY-Stolen from Thur: If you could pick the length of pregnancy (with baby being fully developed at whatever length of time), how long would your pregnancy be and why?

This is a hard question! I'd say probably around 35 weeks...I think that last month is hard and you just want baby to be here. 

KMD1106

@MollyandD, I have one more week and then spring break too! It will be so nice to have a chill week. 

onebadmotha

How far along are you? 28 weeks! Yay third tri!

How big is baby? Butternut squash, box of Kraft mac n' cheese (mmmm)

Any appointments this week? Had my GD test on Monday, which I passed, thankfully! Nothing for a few weeks.

Symptoms? Heartburn, vacillating between being starving and not wanting to even think about food

Cravings? Nope

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue!

Rants/Raves/Questions? Nope

GTKY-Stolen from Thur: If you could pick the length of pregnancy (with baby being fully developed at whatever length of time), how long would your pregnancy be and why? Hmmm...I've never really considered this. I have no problem with a 40 week pregnancy. Yes, the last few weeks are rough, but they also made me want to get the kid out so badly, which I think helps during labor...haha. 

nda_roxybabe

How far along are you? 31 weeks

How big is baby? Winter squash, Croquembouche, and Asparagus (?)

Any appointments this week? No

Symptoms? Trouble sleeping, frequent urination, painful little jabs, indigestion

Cravings? Dunkins Iced decaf mocha

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green!

Rants/Raves/Questions? Stupid question. Does amniotic fluid help baby stay in position in there? I'm pretty sure baby is head down, but how are they not like, flopping off to the side? Is it because they're so tight in there? Is my blonde showing....?

GTKY-Stolen from Thur: If you could pick the length of pregnancy (with baby being fully developed at whatever length of time), how long would your pregnancy be and why? Oh wow. Umm, being a FTM I find this hard. I like the time to prep, but could probably cut it down to 30 weeks.

How far along are you?
31 weeks! 

How big is baby?
Asparagus (how??) Small clawed otter, which makes more sense.

Any appointments this week?
Had one on Wednesday. All went well, baby's HB is 145

Symptoms?
Nothing new here!

Cravings?
I'm boring and am craving nothing lol

Team Pink/Blue/Green?
Green

Rants/Raves/Questions?
How am I at week 31 already??? Going to go into full panic mode real soon I think. Trying to stay calm about having nothing (save for a few onesies, car seat/stroller and some cloth diapers) and trying to withhold myself from making purchases until after my shower (03/25)

GTKY-Stolen from Thur: If you could pick the length of pregnancy (with baby being fully developed at whatever length of time), how long would your pregnancy be and why?
Um. I have no clue tbh. I wish I could say shorter but then I'd be totally not ready yet and would be due right around the corner. Ask me this question in 9 week and I will likely have a very specific answer lol. 

roper2617

@nda_roxybabe I was actually surprised at how painful the little jabs can be! And at how quickly they went from "awww so cute" to "omg child I need that rib where it is please". Also not a stupid question re:amniotic fluid and I really don't know the answer. 

clebl24

How far along are you? 29 weeks

How big is baby? acorn squash

Any appointments this week? My GTT was last week. I passed. I go back for a regular appt next week.  I'm going every 2 weeks now, crazy!

Symptoms? Heartburn. Frequent urination. My back is starting to feel a little sore. 

Cravings? Girl Scout cookies 

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green 

Rants/Raves/Questions? I dropped baby's registration packet off at daycare and the lady asked me why I didn't want to share the child's like and dislikes.  Seriously, I just looked down!  Unless kicking me in the bladder is considered a like, I have nothing for you. 

GTKY-Stolen from Thur: If you could pick the length of pregnancy (with baby being fully developed at whatever length of time), how long would your pregnancy be and why?
I went into labor at 38 weeks and 2 days with DS. The last week or so was miserable so I can't  imagine going to 40 or beyond.  I'd be happy with 35 weeks. 

Edit to correct typo.
