How big is baby?

Butternut Squash

Upcoming appointments?

Yesterday was my last of the 2week appointments. I go weekly here on out

Any new symptoms or changes?

Nope

Rants/Raves/Questions?

I can't wait for this summer and not having to drag my kids out of bed every morning to get ready for school.

GTKY: What's your favorite fast food place, and what do you order there?

Chic-Fil-A (or Chick-play as DS2 calls it). #1 no pickles.

How far along are you? 31 weeks

How big is baby? Small clawed otter, without the tail (BUT I WANT THE TAIL!)

Upcoming appointments? This is my one week out of 4 without one (between biweekly ob appts and growth scans every 4 weeks, it's gotten to that point!)

Any new symptoms or changes? Lots of low pressure this morning - hoping it's just the position of the day causing me discomfort, rather than a "9 more weeks" type of situation

Rants/Raves/Questions? I finally met with a potential doula this week - they work in pairs (so they can cover more births and not show up exhausted), so need to meet her "partner" next. I think we'll go with them - even though I'm strongly pro-epidural, I'm worried about showing up by myself at L&D in active labor while we scramble for someone to watch DD. Plus I struggled to BF early on, and they're all trained lactation consultants. 

GTKY: What's your favorite fast food place, and what do you order there? If Chipotle counts, I'll take a salad with beans, cheese, and brown rice (with chips and guac), please : )

How big is baby?

A squash

Upcoming appointments?

I have a biweekly today.

Any new symptoms or changes?

I have been super, super itchy. It's not dry skin and there's no rash. But it's constant and I can't sleep from it. I'm going to bring it up to my doctor today because it's misery. 

Rants/Raves/Questions?

The itching!

Here's a rant: my DF's friend's wife is also having a baby in June. He has planned a shore weekend at the end of May for all the guys as a "last hoorah." You don't get a bachelor party for having a baby. My last hoorah was sometime last September and I didn't even know it. 

GTKY: What's your favorite fast food place, and what do you order there?

I love the Cobb salad at Chick Fil A (my DD calls it the Cow's house) with their lemonade. I'm also never one to turn down a Taco Bell crunch wrap and cheesey fiesta potatoes.

How big is baby? squash or big enough everyone comments

Upcoming appointments? Tuesdays went fine. DS came for the first time to hear babys heartbeat but all he cared about was the measuring tape

Any new symptoms or changes? still feeling and sleeping really well... definitly feel like I need to pee a lot more

Rants/Raves/Questions? ranting that my midwife kindly reminded me I need a Plan A, B, and C for DS when Im in labor especially since my first was relatively short (6 hrs) and second labors are often shorter. Rant is bc ugh I know and Im stressed that I dont have easy options.

GTKY: What's your favorite fast food place, and what do you order there? chic fil a sounds so good right now

How far along are you? 33 weeks 

How big is baby? Celery

Upcoming appointments? Not for what feels like forever. My doc doesn't do weekly or even biweekly appointments until after 36 weeks. 

Any new symptoms or changes? I'm uncomfortably hot all the time. I haven't felt like a furnace since first tri and it's making me realize I have too few comfy clothes to keep cool. 

Rants/Raves/Questions? The lack of sleep is kicking my butt. I'm regularly getting 5 hours or less and I just can't function well on so little sleep. Rave is time seems to be moving quickly and I have an absolute max of 30 work days left! 

GTKY: What's your favorite fast food place, and what do you order there? Taco Bell. Crunchwrap with extra sour cream, a cheesy bean and rice burrito, and cinnamon twists.

How big is baby? Cauliflower/celery...how are these the same?!?!?!

Upcoming appointments? Next week

Any new symptoms or changes? Hot flashes galore

Rants/Raves/Questions? Working my ass off until close to the due date...last shift is scheduled when I'll be 38 and 5...hope I actually make it to then. Maybe I'll have time to read a book before labor about labor? Probably just wishful thinking...

GTKY: What's your favorite fast food place, and what do you order there? Wow, a lot of Chik-fil-a fans, we don't have one up here, so I've had it just once! I'll take a Whopper from BK or the grilled/crispy chicken sandwich from Wendys (but it has to be with a chocolate frosty!)...hmmmmm....might have to consider this idea for later. Hahaha

How big is baby? butternut squash

Upcoming appointments? I just had one Tuesday- next is in 2 weeks and I get an ultrasound AND start weekly

Any new symptoms or changes?  I'm trying to finish packing up the house (we move next Friday!) and my sciatic pain is almost unbearable wahhhh

Rants/Raves/Questions?  Getting anxious about labor  

GTKY: What's your favorite fast food place, and what do you order there?  You guys have great taste, I love CFA so hard.  I'd probably pick a Whopper, no mayo.

@gabadoo We must use the same apps! Lol. I thought the same thing this morning with the food comparison. I've never seen a cauliflower that I would compare to celery.

How big is baby?

Celery/junior tennis racket 

Upcoming appointments?

I had a growth US and OB appointment today.

Any new symptoms or changes?

My left foot is swelling. There was concern about a clot since unilateral swelling is unusual. All is well though. I will start PT for sciatic nerve pain next week.

Rants/Raves/Questions?

My shower is this weekend!

GTKY: What's your favorite fast food place, and what do you order there?

I have eaten Chik-fila twice this week! The shame! My favorite fast food item in general is probably cheese curds from Culver's.

omg @meilay I feel like I'm living through one giant hot flash. It's unreal.

Yup, I love me some Ovia. Also, UGH to the hot flashes!
