1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 30 weeks. Crazy to think there's only 10 or so weeks left. (DH is convinced it's 8). Baby is the size of a motorcycle helmet, which SS will think is so cool.
 
2. How are you feeling?  The normal. Every day is toss up. I feel fine in the AM and it gets worse as the day goes on usually. Mostly just still itchy and uncomfortable. Getting comfortable at night to sleep sucks.

3. Any appointments this week? I had one Wednesday and Chiro last night. Both went fine. I'm at every 2 weeks now.
 
4. Rants/raves/questions? I appreciate DH is picking up in the caring for me department. Last night he tucked me into bed. 

Tomorrow he and SS are going to the zoo. As much as I want to go, I know I'll be miserable quickly since the weather is supposed to be 90* w/ 60% humidity. I also have a staff meeting for my side job. I think I'm going to get my nails done instead.

5. GTKY: What is one regret you have from when you were younger- assuming you still get to the same point in life if you're happy, what would you go back and change/do differently? I would have been more money conscious in college. I have a ton of debt in student loans and my CC that are all because of how I spent money and didn't work as much as I could have in college and it sucks now.

How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 31 weeks asparagus 

How are you feeling? Good other than the lack of sleep from DS still waking up at night and not wanting to sleep until 12. Typical problems with peeing and stretching belly pains.

Any appointments this week? Yes had another ultrasound. He looked chubbier than 2 weeks ago theyre doing another weight check at my 32 week appointment. They do ultrasounds every time because of my previous anemia problems and the spacing of the boys. Its cool I see him every time.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm finally buying the crib today why did it take me so long.. 

What is one regret you have from when you were younger? I would have never put so much pressure to look good in my high school years. I wasted so much time worrying and did not enjoy it as much as I could.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 
31 weeks, large movie popcorn 
(is it bad that i still have to check to see what week i am every time i post in this? when people ask how far along i am i just keep saying "i'm due in early october." 5th child problems...

2. How are you feeling? 
tired. seriously tired. (also antisocial) i just have zero motivation to do anything that involves leaving my house after i get home from work.

3. Any appointments this week? 
appointment on thursday and an u/s to check on my placenta. i know chances are good that it has moved away but it freaks me out a little because if it has not my dr wants to deliver around 36 weeks so i don't risk going into labor on my own. that is only 4 weeks after my appointment.

4. Rants/raves/questions?
not so much (today anyway)

5. GTKY: What is one regret you have from when you were younger- assuming you still get to the same point in life if you're happy, what would you go back and change/do differently?
i've got nothing. not that i necessarily would not change anything, but nothing major that comes to mind.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?

29wks Acorn Squash

2. How are you feeling? 

Umm very stretched and tight in my stomach

3. Any appointments this week? 

None this week.

4. Rants/raves/questions?

DD has her two year molars coming in.  Holy Hell NO!!!  I'm so tired.

5. GTKY: What is one regret you have from when you were younger- assuming you still get to the same point in life if you're happy, what would you go back and change/do differently? 

When I got a boyfriend in like 11th grade and I wound up quitting a lot of activities I loved to spend more time with him.  When I look back I regret not taking the last year of Orchestra or my last year of Ballet.  I also had an emotionally abusive relationship and while I want to regret it, it put me in the position to meet my DH so I would do it again even though it sucked

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 31w, the size of a football, compsognathus, or a serving tray

2. How are you feeling?  Pretty terrible most of the time lately.  I'm exhausted and weak.  I feel like everyday stuff is just completely destroying me.  It's partly the heat and humidity, partly not sleeping good, and partly my sinuses misbehaving.     

3. Any appointments this week? Thursday, just the usual two weeker 

4. Rants/raves/questions?  DH left Wed and is gone until Sunday night for a lacrosse tournament at Lake Placid.  This is his "swan song" according to him.  I was trying to be positive about him being away and thinking I would crush nesting.  Instead I feel like junk and I'm bitter.  He keeps texting me telling me I need to take it easy, call out sick and get some rest, look out for the baby and my well being, etc.  Nice dude, and yet I'm alone taking care of our 2 year old.      

5. GTKY: What is one regret you have from when you were younger- assuming you still get to the same point in life if you're happy, what would you go back and change/do differently?  I would have taken significantly less time to graduate college, and if I could have chosen it, I would have met DH when we were like, say in middle school (even though I'm peeved with him he's still the love of my life and usually the best....)

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 28w, size of a rollerblade

2. How are you feeling? Ok for the most part. Heartburn can go fuck itself, and my hips and back aren't quite as terrible as they've been. I finally tried a support belt on my run Thursday, and I wish I could say I noticed a difference in how I felt, but nothing huge. Maybe it's because I ended up doing an extra mile than normal, but I dunno. I'm a little bummed about it.

3. Any appointments this week? Had my 1-hour glucose this morning, we'll see how that goes.

4. Rants/raves/questions? Nothing out of the ordinary. DH still can't seem to figure out how to dress DD in certain outfits (like, the shirt gets put on wrong, or he pairs the same wrong shorts with a shirt for the third week in a row, rendering another outfit unwearable). I try and back off, but comaaaaaan, I've told you the same thing three times now - RETAIN THE INFORMATION!!

5. GTKY: What is one regret you have from when you were younger- assuming you still get to the same point in life if you're happy, what would you go back and change/do differently? I would have tried harder to study abroad in college. Engineering degree made it almost impossible, but I still wish I had.

How are you feeling? Uncomfortable. It’s hard to roll over at night which hasn’t been fun.

Any appointments this week? Nope

Rants/Raves/Questions? 

What is one regret you have from when you were younger? I wish I left an abusive relationship much earlier than I did.

29 weeks- Acorn Squash (although she has been measuring big)

2. How are you feeling? 
Sore. Morning sickness is coming back and Braxton Hicks are becoming more frequent

3. Any appointments this week? 
Next Friday (30 weeks). Regular OB appointment plus ultrasound to check my partial placenta previa

4. Rants/raves/questions?
Probably more rants than everything. I am hitting that point where everything is just bugging me

5. GTKY: What is one regret you have from when you were younger- assuming you still get to the same point in life if you're happy, what would you go back and change/do differently?
I wish I would have taken school more seriously, and not been such a brat. I look back at my behaviors and I am mortified.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 29 weeks, the size of a gallon of milk

2. How are you feeling? eh...I've been better and I've been worse

3. Any appointments this week? Thursday (this is the appointment I get to find out my official GD diagnosis based on the blood sugar monitoring I've been doing)

4. Rants/raves/questions? @bntfroggie How did I not think of 2 yr old molars?!?!  DS was a complete terror last week and I just thought maybe it was a sleep regression...

5. GTKY: What is one regret you have from when you were younger- assuming you still get to the same point in life if you're happy, what would you go back and change/do differently? I have to agree with @sammierose464 I did way too much frivolous spending when I was in college and grad school and I wish I would have had more self control because now I'm stuck with a bunch of stuff that isn't super useful.

4. Rants/raves/questions? 

5. GTKY: What is one regret you have from when you were younger- assuming you still get to the same point in life if you're happy, what would you go back and change/do differently? I wish I had taken time for myself after college to travel more. I jumped right into working full time career at 19 years old.
