1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 27 weeks. The size of a big bottle of Sriracha.
2. How are you feeling? Exhausted
3. Any appointments this week? Nope
4. Rants/raves/questions? Nothing this week!
5. GTKY: If you won the Mega Millions this week (~500M USD), what would you do with it? Buy a few properties, pay off debt, donate some to the church and dog shelter, and open a B&B on Cape Cod. And buy my family member's houses and pay for my mom's healthcare so she can retire already (three more years until she's fully covered at retirement.)
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 29 weeks, the size of a gallon jug of milk

3. Any appointments this week? Nope!
4. Rants/raves/questions? None
5. GTKY: If you won the Mega Millions this week (~500M USD), what would you do with it?
Pay off my student debt, buy our forever home early, put a lot into various trusts for our kids, save a bunch for retirement, donate to a few of my favorite charities, probably hire a hit man to off some people I mean what?
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 26 weeks, kale
2. How are you feeling? crappy today because I made the mistake of eating take out last night and was up sick until 5am.
3. Any appointments this week? nope
4. Rants/raves/questions? Working my last extra night for the week tonight and then I finally have two days off in a row. Tomorrow is DD’s birthday so I’m excited!
5. GTKY: If you won the Mega Millions this week (~500M USD), what would you do with it? Quit my job, pay off debt, travel for a few months, put some money aside for the kids, pay off my parents’ house, maybe open up my own independent bookstore.
TTC History
Me: 35 DH: 34 Married 07/2012 DD born 07/2014 DD2 born 10/2018 DS born 10/2022
IF history: TTC #2 since January 2016 June-Aug 2017: 3 IUIs w/Clomid = BFN Sept 2017: Dx w/Endometriosis Oct 2017: IUI w/Letrozole = BFN Nov 2017: IUI w/Letrozole = BFN Dec 2017: pre-IVF testing Jan-Feb 2018: IVF--17 eggs retrieved, 13 fertilized, 9 frozen and 1 transferred on 2/10 = BFP on 2/19!!! EDD 10/29/2018 FET Oct 2021: BFP on 10/31! MC at 5 weeks FET Feb 2022: BFP on 2/15! EDD 10/29/22
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 28! Coconut
2. How are you feeling? Finally feeling really good. I have heartburn all the time, but it makes me drink more water so I guess that's not a bad thing.
3. Any appointments this week? Nope
4. Rants/raves/questions? Apparently I am looking pretty big. Everywhere I went this weekend people asked when I was due and were shocked when I said October. One lady actually said something like "You must be almost done now." Umm sure. If by "almost done" you mean three months to go. That stuff really bothered me in my first pregnancy, but I honestly feel so lucky to be pregnant again (and in the third trimester! Woot!) that I'm really having fun with it. I love throwing back a "so are you saying I'm fat?" every once in a while as a joke.
5. GTKY: If you won the Mega Millions this week (~500M USD), what would you do with it? I would pay off all of our debts then probably build a new house that fits all of our needs perfectly. I love our house, but there is no way we wouldn't just build a new one that needed no improvements. After that I'm sure I would go on a shopping spree and then save the rest until we needed it.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 29 weeks, a butternut squash
2. How are you feeling? Not too bad, more symptoms with this pregnancy than the last one
3. Any appointments this week? Nope
4. Rants/raves/questions? Kind of wishing I was at the 39 week instead of 29 weeks
5. GTKY: If you won the Mega Millions this week (~500M USD), what would you do with it? Hire an attorney, stay anonymous, quit my job, pay off my house, help my family with their bills, and then travel
Um, super sore, because I worked out twice last week and did about 150 weighted squats + 90 lunges. Everything hurts. Pregnancy related, just some minor sciatica.
3. Any appointments this week?
1st birthing class starts in 1.5 hours! ahhh! shit is getting real.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
1. it's too damn hot here. 2. who has an all day meeting, and then makes you go 3.5 hours without a break, in a room you technically aren't supposed to eat in?!?! (Men, that's who. Men who have never been pregnant.) I was dying of thirst in there, plus always hungry.
5. GTKY: If you won the Mega Millions this week (~500M USD), what would you do with it?
+1 to staying anonymous. I'd pay off our loans, go on a big fancy vacation, perhaps buy a bigger house with a yard, and then donate some to charities. Also invest some too.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
30 (home stretch, y'all!) - cantaloupe 2. How are you feeling?
Very anxious and stressed, but not because of pregnancy or home life. All work-related. 3. Any appointments this week?
If my BP is still high tomorrow, then I have to go to see my OB at lunch time. If it goes back down to my normal range, then I'll keep my OB appointment for Thursday. 4. Rants/raves/questions?
No. 5. GTKY: If you won the Mega Millions this week (~500M USD), what would you do with it? Quit my fucking job.
@ladyofarlington gotta love it...the crib we used with our first two was the one my dad built for us as kids. it was very well built and met all of the current criteria for safety, but we called it "the cage" because it somewhat resembled an animal cage (think the train cars in Dumbo but without wheels...and not intentionally). the important part? our babies were safe in it and slept well. seriously though...i should find a picture.

Quit my fucking job.

4. My mom told me she thinks our crib looks like a “baby jail” and suggested alternative options.
5. Pay off our house, quit my job, invest half and use the other half to start a charity/non profit.
seriously though...i should find a picture.
