1. How far are you? How big is baby? 32 weeks baby is the size of a squash. 

2. New symptoms? Starting to feel some Braxton Hicks especially after driving in traffic to work for 1 - 1 1/2 hours. Also having to pee a lot more and feeling more pressure on my bladder. 

3. Rants/Raves? My work commute! I seriously dread going to work every day bc I have to sit in so much traffic. By the time I’m at work, my back is killing me and I have the worst headache. Then have to do it all over again coming home. My work isn’t very open to working from home but I can do everything I do in the office from Home and be more productive. Hoping my boss will be open to it, at least 1-2 days a week would make a huge different. 

4. Questions? 

5. GTKY: What is your favorite summer treat? Hawaiian shaved ice and ice cream from a place by our house. They always have fun summer flavors and just brought back my favorite Lili koi li hing  pineapple sorbet. Yum!

1. How far are you? How big is baby? 33 weeks! Baby is celery.
2. New symptoms? Not hungry for meals but craving everything sweet  
3. Rants/Raves? I feel like I'm an emotional mess! Some of it is my own doing, the rest is coming from outside sources that I don't know how to handle. 
4. Questions? Am I crazy to start feeling more ok with my scheduled induction? (not being induced for anything besides convenience for OB). I kind of like having the plan in place.
5. GTKY: What is your favorite summer treat? Ice cream!! YUM!

5. GTKY: What is your favorite summer treat? I love allll the summer treats.  Ice cream, freeze pops, popsicles, anything cold.  I'm weird and summer is actually my least favorite season weather wise... so anything that gives me relief from the heat is great.

1. How far are you? How big is baby?
36w 1 d; baby is a papaya. 

2. New symptoms?
Increased contractions, but nothing that settles into a pattern for longer than a couple of hours.  Increased pressure on cervix/lightning crotch. Restless legs have REALLY ramped up; I've been getting about 4 hours of sleep a night, ugh. 

3. Rants/Raves?
Besides not sleeping, which is a HUGE rant, I've had a couple of people pass of an opinion I had (that they didn't like) as me being overly emotional because I'm pregnant. So not cool. 

4. Questions?
Anyone else realllllllly ready for their little people to come? 

5. GTKY: What is your favorite summer treat?
Ice cream....always ice cream.

So I had my 36 week appointment this morning; no real cervical change, but I'm measuring 41 weeks.  Lovely.  I'm going in for an ultrasound on Monday to follow up on the position of my placenta (it's been a bit lower than they'd like, and I'm really hoping for a vaginal delivery).  If everything looks good, maybe my giant size (and giant baby--no GD or anything) will mean an induction before 39 weeks?

Wow @ethnomusicwhat - that's exciting!

Thanks, @MichelleAG05!  I'm hoping so, otherwise, it means I'm just massive for longer.
