GTKY: Love or hate April Fools Day? Best prank you've done or had done to you? I loathe April Fool's Day. My family doesn't understand the difference between pranks and just being mean. Like pretending they were in a car accident or that someone died. 

BabyMC517

Oh my gosh! Those are horrible pranks! @LilMissCrafty why would anyone do that?!

livin541

How far along are you? 32

How big is baby? Squash

Any appointments this week? Nope, my doctor was booked all next week so I got to go 3 weeks between appts instead of 2. No complaints here! We did have our hospital tour and preregistration on Thursday though. 

Symptoms? My cold/sinus infection this week has me forgetting all other aches and pains, so that's a plus 

Cravings? Mostly sweets, darn Easter candy everywhere 

Rants/Raves/Questions? We're going camera shopping this weekend! I'm excited to learn how to use it and hopefully start taking better than phone quality pics of my son.

GTKY: Love or hate April Fools Day? Best prank you've done or had done to you? Not a fan! Never had anything too bad done to me, but I'm gullible so I always get tricked at least once. 

lilmisscrafty-2

@BabyMC517 because they're crazy!

MTB16

How far along are you? 32 Weeks

Rants/Raves/Questions?  I'm not really feeling little man move much these past couple days, normal or cause for concern? 

Team Pink/Blue/Green?  Blue

GTKY: Love or hate April Fools Day? Best prank you've done or had done to you? I don't care either way, but it was one of my Grandfather's favorite days, he loved playing jokes on people!!  I always think of him on April fools so it's a day that makes me happy!!

MTB16

@michelle59-2 I planned on packing a hospital bag a week or so before my due date.  I'm bringing snacks, ipad, iphone, chargers, robe, PJ's, and 2 or 3 comfy pant/nursing tank outfits, socks, my baby's going home outfit, lotion, my travel toiletries kit which is usually packed with all of my travel sized normal products, and my glasses/contacts. 

michelle59-2

@MTB16 thank you! Good to know I've still got time. And I appreciate you giving me ideas of what to bring!

m3ganmc

@michelle59-2 oohhh I had pretty intense lightning crotch a couple weeks ago too...I tried to drink extra water and rest. I haven't noticed it as much lately. 

I think with my first I packed at 34 weeks. I haven't packed for this one yet but I have everything collected. I agree with the above on what to bring...I also pack face wipes and hair ties

m3ganmc

@MTB16 I think less movement is normal as they get bigger. But I would def lay on your left side, drink cold water or eat some candy and do some kick counts...I think it's supposed to be 10 an hour. 

bubsalicious

How far along are you? 32 weeks

How big is baby? Hopefully about as big as a 32 week baby

Any appointments this week? Nope

Symptoms? I've actually felt pretty awesome this week! About time.

Cravings? Hard candy

Rants/Raves/Questions? For how crappy and stressful my week started, it sure ended on a high note. Monday my mother had surgery to remove cancerous cells, and not only could I not be there, but because she was so out of it for a few days, I didn't hear from her. Found out on Friday that surgery was all they needed to do, no additional treatment! I also passed my boards today, and after 6 years, I'm getting rid of all my school crap!

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green

GTKY: Love or hate April Fools Day? Best prank you've done or had done to you? I lean more towards hate April Fools Day. Too many people do stupid things for my liking and then giggle like they are the worlds smartest person.

Yiggle09

@absbubbs congratulations! I think I missed what your boards were for job wise? 

bubsalicious

@Yiggle09 I don't think I said. Medical Lab Science.

BabyMC517

For those wondering what to put in your hospital bag (sorry mobile bumping so it's hard to tag) there's an entire thread of ideas! I believe there is even a spreadsheet!

MTB16

@absbubbs congrats on passing your boards!!!! Great news about your mom to, hope she's recovering well!!

Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave for DH for passing the first two parts of his GED, only two more to go. So proud of him.

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue

GTKY: Love or hate April Fools Day? Best prank you've done or had done to you? I think it's kind of a stupid "holiday" and I tend to be an anxious person so pranks are a no-no.

How big is baby? Pineapple

Any appointments this week? Nope

Symptoms? Joint pain. Heartburn. Feel super stretched and tired all the time

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue

GTKY: Love or hate April Fools Day? Best prank you've done or had done to you? I'm sort of indifferent, don't really care for it.

Jens_Hoes

How far along are you? 32 + 1

How big is baby? Squash

Any appointments this week? Nothing this week. 

Symptoms? Heartburn, back pain, exhaustion. 

Cravings? Sweets? Ice. 

Rants/Raves/Questions? Just came back from my baby shower. It was so wonderful, we got everything we need basically but the monitor. The one thing that bothered me was that 5 adults on my MIL side said they were coming and didn't show. Plus someone called this past Thursday saying they weren't coming, and my mom had paid for her. It's just rude to my mom who put in all this effort and money!

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink

GTKY: Love or hate April Fools Day? Best prank you've done or had done to you? I'm indifferent. I can't remember any off the top of my head. 

@michelle59-2  were you able to find the hospital bag thread? I can try to look and tag you in it. 

@MTB16 have you felt him move more today? Are you concerned?

@absbubbs congrats on school and your mom!

GTKY: Love or hate April Fools Day? Best prank you've done or had done to you?
hate it really. It's just not really my thing. 


lilmisscrafty that is truly awful! omg!

@michelle59-2 not that I know of. I just jump and that's all I know how to do. I am packing my bag today. (36+2 technically) my friend who has a 5 month old is coming over to help me

@absbubbs congrats on your mother only needing surgery and nothing more. and also passing your boards!!!!

@jens_hoes gold your baby shower was good and sorry for the rude no-shows. I'll never understand it

michelle59-2

@OmegaRose3 congrats to your SO on working toward his GED! That's awesome!!!

@Jens_Hoes no I haven't found the hospital bag thread. If you tag me in it will I get a notification somewhere or how do I know I've been tagged? Sorry, I'm still new to this app. 

@sarah0985 jumping has helped your lightning crotch? I'm definitely going to try that. I have noticed that sometimes if I crouch down for a minute that it will help.

Thank you all for your help and support! I tell H multiple times a day how grateful I am for all of you and for having found this app. It's nice to not feel alone in it all. :-) Hope all you ladies had a wonderful weekend!!

sarah0985

@michelle59-2 you won't get a notification on the app  
i mean like I jump a little when it happens. Haha. Not literally jumping up and down. But moving seems to kind of help. 

michelle59-2

@sarah0985 hahaha!! I feel stupid. Definitely understand what you mean now. It paralyzes me in a way..ha. Well... I wrote myself a note to jump when I get lightning crotch. Gonna throw that away now. Thank God I didn't do that in public. Ha

Jens_Hoes

@michelle59-2 I found the hospital bag thread, and I tagged you in it.  But since I posted it bumped the thread to the first page, so you should be able to find it easily.
