2) any appointments this week? 
Yes, weekly ultrasound and OB appt on Thursday.

3) how are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes?
I've been having more frequent upper back and rib pain - it's not terrible, but just uncomfortable.
I can't believe I'm being induced in 12 days!

4) gtky:  if you could own a vacation home where would it be located?
My dad has a summer house on a lake in Maine, so I'd probably pick somewhere on the ocean. Maybe on the coast of Maine.

@rhubarb123 that so exciting that you induction is in 12 days. You are so close. 

@mamaofthegarden I agree about just feeling tired and sore.

2) any appointments this week? NST Wed, OB appt Thurs, ultrasound Fri. Busy week!

3) how are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes? Doing ok. Definitely have no energy - as in I go to church with my family on the weekend and that poops me out. Went to pick up a few groceries and didn't think I was going to make it back to our car. I'm really getting bored not being able to do much all day. People seem to ask me all the time if I'm ready to have my baby - so I tell them there are actually 2 and yes, in another couple weeks from now i'm good to go! I also found stretch marks below my belly button along the bottom. I've never gotten stretch marks from any pg before so this was a bit of a shock to me. Trying not to let it upset me too much, but it did. The emotions are running high.

4) gtky:  if you could own a vacation home where would it be located? Somewhere warm with an ocean front and not a lot of people around. I like quiet and no crowds.

31 weeks, 3 days

2) any appointments this week? 

My third ultrasound is on Friday. 

3) how are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes?

I feel pretty good. Biggest difficulty is resisting junk food. 

4) gtky:  if you could own a vacation home where would it be located?
Denmark, Scotland, or Maine.  Cooler places near the water sound ideal these days.

1) how far along are you? 31 weeks and 5 days

2) any appointments this week? Yep, Ultrasound, OB, NST

3) how are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes? Feeling good other than being tired...and now hot with the hotter temps up our way. Still having heartburn. Also managing my GD.

4) gtky:  if you could own a vacation home where would it be located? Oh I don't want to own one...can I just have free rent? (no interest in maintaining property far away from where I am). I would love to be able to go to a villa in Italy or other european areas like Switzerland for weeks at a time.

1) how far along are you?
32w6d. Sorry I have been away from this thread and tb in general so much lately. Just busy.. haha. But still here. And pregnant.

2) any appointments this week? 
Yes, had one yesterday. Just measured and checked heartbeat. Everything was normal.

3) how are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes?
Just huge and hard to move around/breathe. DH can walk again, we got the kids' room painted and carpets cleaned this weekend, and DD's new toddler bed put together and in the room. We have a long way to go to get the room swap completed, but I'm feeling a lot better about it at this point. As uncomfortable as I am now, this will be our last baby, so I am definitely having mixed feelings about trying to enjoy every moment.

4) gtky:  if you could own a vacation home where would it be located?
We have one about an hour and 20 mins from us in the woods near a lake. My extended family has various plots of land and trailers/houses in the area. So that's where mine would be. BF Arkansas.

  1) how far along are you?
34w2d

2) any appointments this week? 
My 34w appt was today. Just the normal bp, weight, belly measurement check - all within normal range. My 32w growth scan indicates an LGA (large for gestational age) baby at 97th percentile though so discussed options with my OB if future scans support the same estimate.

3) how are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes?
Lots of movement from baby (mostly stretching, not so much kicking). Peeing a lot. A bit of cramping/abdominal pressure. Can't eat too much for dinner... Otherwise, it's super uncomfortable.

4) gtky:  if you could own a vacation home where would it be located?
Barcelona.
