1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 32 weeks! The fruit/veggie stuff doesn't make sense anymore...

2. How are you feeling? Out of breath and tired; also more hormonal and easily overwhelmed; but otherwise mostly fine. Just more grunting noises happening..

3. Any appointments this week? Had 32 wk checkup yesterday with a growth scan. They said little girl was measuring on the small side, but is totally fine. Another in 2 weeks.

4. Rants/ raves/ questions? Not really, I just can't believe there's only ~8 weeks left. Excited sometimes and freaking out sometimes.

5. GTKY - Favorite family vacation spot? Uhhh… we didn't really go on vacation very much. (Something I want to change with my kids). I guess the thing we did the most was canoe (a.k.a. "float") the river in Oklahoma every summer.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 32 weeks. No clue on size. 

2. How are you feeling? Miserable. 

3. Any appointments this week? Nope.

4. Rants/ raves/ questions? I’m just tired of having to pee every 15 minutes.

5. GTKY - Favorite family vacation spot? We don’t really go on vacation...just road trips to Austin to visit my family, which I love. Even growing up we didn’t go on vacation much. We went to NC a few times and I LOVED it (enough that we’re considering moving there next year) but that’s really it.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 30! Apparently the size of a butternut squash or zucchini? Like everyone, I don’t think these are very accurate.

2. How are you feeling? ok besides huge and pregnant. I’ve started getting really hot and I was having hot flashes this morning in a meeting so that was fun. Back hurts, acid reflux, constipation is back, the works but overall as long as I get some sleep at night I feel pretty decent during the day.

3. Any appointments this week? 30 week checkup tomorrow. I’m hoping my friends Mom who is the US tech will be there tomorrow. If she is, she offered to do a 3D US for us so that would be fun.

4. Rants/ raves/ questions? Ranting about all the people at work that are here sick yesterday and today! Everyone around me is coughing and sneezing so I’m trying to avoid everyone so I don’t get sick. Rave is we have our baby shower this weekend and my mom is coming in to town! I’m excited, but it’s going to be a long busy day on Saturday.

5. GTKY - Favorite family vacation spot? We love to go up to Traverse City in northern MI. The best part is the wine tasting so we didn’t go this year, but we will definitely be back up there next summer.

@hannaht8516 I hear you with the grunting noises! DH keeps asking me if I’m ok and I’m like, yes just trying to get up...the hormones are not helping either with feeli overwhelmed. Hang in there, only a few more weeks!!

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 30 weeks, cabbage or zucchini 

2. How are you feeling? Still feeling pretty good. Feeling a bit heavy and big though!

3. Any appointments this week? not until the end of the month for my 32 week appointment 

4. Rants/ raves/ questions? just need to rant about the girl at work who constantly feels the need to comment on my size. 

5. GTKY - Favorite family vacation spot? Definitely looking forward to making new traditions but excited for our trips back home to CO to visit my family.

@spartan4life the best is the middle of the night when I wake my husband up trying to get out of bed, and he's panicky saying "what's wrong??" and I'm like "Just trying to freaking go pee again, calm down."

@hannaht8516 This was how DH was when I was pregnant with DD, this time he's over it haha. I said something the other day and he was like pretty much like yeah, you get up so much more with this kid to pee so I gave up being concerned.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 31 weeks, size of a jar of nutella - which I am so down with. 

2. How are you feeling? Like an insane person but physically pretty good. 

3. Any appointments this week? No, next week.  

4. Rants/ raves/ questions? Had to sit down while giving a presentation this morning I was really out of breath. 

5. GTKY - Favorite family vacation spot? Coastal Maine

. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
31 weeks, baby is the size of a football. Also agree that the veggie stats are starting to get out of whack. 

2. How are you feeling?

Feeling huge, slow and always having to pee. Had my first strike of lightening crotch earlier this week, that was fun.. 

3. Any appointments this week?

Had one Monday, all is well. On the biweekly schedule now. 

4. Rants/ raves/ questions?

5. GTKY - Favorite family vacation spot?

Well, as a first time mom I’m not sure yet! Living in the PNW west a warm coastal getaway is always welcome.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 32 weeks, according to Babylist approximately 16.7" which sounds more accurate than jimaca, lol. 

2. How are you feeling? Much the same as last week...tired, gassy, out of breath, etc.

3. Any appointments this week? Had my last PT appointment. I don't get a good vibe from the therapist I was referred too and she doesn't seem to have much experience with pregnant patients so I feel like I'm wasting time.

4. Rants/ raves/ questions? Just stressed about the move next weekend. I've started gathering things for my hospital bag and making a list of things I still need to purchase at the store this weekend to finish up. 

5. GTKY - Favorite family vacation spot? Growing up we spent a lot of time in Jamaica where my dad was from. My kids have never been. It would be nice to take them eventually. Now we spend most of the time alternating between my husband's native country and road trips to nearby locations.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 31 weeks! I’m just going to say baby is big, though I do like the Ovia comparison of the size of a croquembouche. 

2. How are you feeling? Also going to say big for this one.  Getting more and more exhausted by just walking around, and harder to keep up with things.  Also have a stupid cold for the last two days, so I’m all congested and stuffed up. 

3. Any appointments this week? not for another 2 weeks

4. Rants/ raves/ questions? I can’t believe I have single digit number of weeks left! That seems crazy soon! 

5. GTKY - Favorite family vacation spot?  now that I live in the PNW, we love to go to the Oregon coast.

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

30 weeks

2. How are you feeling?

Tired and out of breath

3. Any appointments this week?

On the 31st

4. Rants/ raves/ questions?

I just feel like all my plans are crashing right now and I'm being punished for something.

5. GTKY - Favorite family vacation spot?

I live in Florida....St. Augustine.

Or Blackpool. That was where DH asked me to marry him.

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

33 weeks today! The baby is the size of celery?

2. How are you feeling?

Crowded, lots of pelvic pain, idk if it's round ligament pain or Braxton Hicks but random aches and pains, and acid reflux. 

3. Any appointments this week? 

Just had an appt this morning, every checks out good. Doctor confirmed I definitely dropped already and suggested a maternity support belt.

4. Rants/ raves/ questions?

I really don't think I am making it full term this time around. Just a gut instinct. This is my 2nd pregnancy and everything has been total opposite from my 1st (which I was induced after being a week overdue). Anyone else have experience with a baby dropping this early?

5. GTKY - Favorite family vacation spot?

Bethany Beach, DE or New Hampshire

@tabbiekat13 I feel like I have a bit. Still having breathing issues but my stomach looked lower when I caught a profile glimpse in the mirror this morning. I asked dh, but of course he never notices anything lol.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
31 weeks, baby is the size of an otter...minus the tail.

2. How are you feeling? I'm just feeling done over all. I have 8 weeks left and  between not being able to get comfortable at night and the leg cramps idk how I'm going to make it. Work is getting more difficult (and stressful) so that's not helping. 

3. Any appointments this week? I had a appointment with my OB yesterday. Everything was fine. She told me to watch my weight but I haven't gained any so I dont know. 

4. Rants/ raves/ questions? We may have actually agreed upon a name!

5. GTKY - Favorite family vacation spot? We never took a vacation as a family so I'm really looking forward to doing that with my kids.
