1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 30 weeks!!!!! The size of a platypus, minus the tail. 

2) How are you feeling? Great! Pretty consistent back pain lately. 

3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing? Girl, yep. 

4) Any appointments this week/last? Had one today! 

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? I HATE the doctor I had to see today. First, I had my third AS and they still couldn't see the LVT. I knew the US tech was hurting me, but I just dealt with it. When I got home I realized she made me bleed!!! I had a big tummy pre pregnancy and the skin where she was pushing under it is rather thin I guess? But wtf?! Then I go in to see the dr. He doesn't even say hello and legit doesn't even look at me once then whole two minutes he was actually in the room. I asked about the LVT and he says "well there's nothing we could do about it anyhow". Ummm?! Then he rushed me out of the room and didn't ask me any questions or asked if I had any! I'm pretty pissed about it all.

I feel really good. Hoping it stays this way for a while (except the 90 degree weather)

3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
Girl, oh yeah 

4) Any appointments this week/last?
Had my glucose screening on Wednesday. Haven’t heard back yet, praying I passed this time. I only gained a pound this month. I was soooooo happy about that.

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 30 weeks. Zucchini. 75% baked!

2) How are you feeling? So much better.  I have had several days running of good blood sugar numbers, and I'm starting to figure out how to balance things a bit better.  I'm actually excited about the baby shower this weekend! And it feels really good to be excited again, rather than just totally overwhelmed.

3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?  Yes. And oof, yes.

4) Any appointments this week/last? OB appointment this week. CDE next week. It's relatively quiet compared to the next 2.5 months.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? DH is the awesomest, as discussed in other threads. I have been feeling really focused on managing the GD and not on being excited for the baby and for the first time in a couple weeks I'm actually really happy and excited about our incoming little one.

6) GTKY: It's the Autumnal Equinox. Share three fall favorites in no particular order. Wearing sweaters. Apple things. Cool nights = better sleep for me.

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 
29 weeks, butternut squash!

2) How are you feeling? Slightly uncomfortable all the time. Wishing I could sleep through the night without unisom, but seems like that isn’t going to happen. 

3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?  Yes, boy and yup

4) Any appointments this week/last? OB this week, just a pee in a cup appt. nothing next week. 

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? I thought it would be easy to paint the crib we were gifted with chalk paint, but that stuff is awful!! How everyone on the Internet raves about it is beyond me because I’ve talked to four of my friends and we all hated it. It’s goopy, uneven, and taking 4-5 coats to cover. I’m in too deep now to quit, but this will be my THIRD weekend working on it.

6) GTKY: It's the Autumnal Equinox. Share three fall favorites in no particular order. 
1. Cool, crisp air, 2. Halloween! 3. Warm beverages
