Just wanted to point out, that after this week, our weeks remaining will officially be in the single digits (9)! Shit's getting real!
How far along are you? How big is baby?
How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms?

29w5d, probably about 3 lbs!
How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms?
Not too bad, just wanting this cough to go away! Saw my chiropractor today and oh man it was such a good idea. Only new symptom really was the Charlie horse I got yesterday morning.

We went to Ren Fest yesterday and it was so much fun! My son is 2.5 this year so he was actually really into some games and rides! It was fun to see him enjoying himself and having fun this year!
GTKY: What are some things that make your day better?
Coming home to my boys and getting kisses when I walk in the door, chit chatting with my boss after work hours, when my toddler is being cute instead of difficult, random texts from my cousin who lives a couple states away.
DS2 due 12/12/18
How far along are you? How big is baby? 30 weeks Wednesday. Wut. Size of half a large Cheesecake Factory cheesecake I guess?
How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms? Just very achy, especially when I'm down on the floor interacting with my child. Loving the big movements and hiccups though!
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary? Nothing that I'm not about to put in the Randoms section. Dear Diary, I'm randomly excited for my OB appointment on Wednesday even though I know it's going to be boring AF?
GTKY: What are some things that make your day better? My naptime nap and my hygge time at night, complete with candles and tea! And cookies or other sweets, if I'm not doing a Whole30

@PensiveCrayon Lol @ your size comparison.
How far along are you? How big is baby?
29+4, a pineapple??
How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms?
Just achy. I overdid it at a work thing yesterday, and am paying for it today. Tired as usual, but mentally I'm great.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary?
Just really getting excited. Less than 3 weeks until my shower. As of Friday, my weeks remaining will be in the single digits. As if Halloween, I'll be less than 1.5 months out. I feel like everything is a countdown!
GTKY: What are some things that make your day better?
Loving on my dog, curling up on my spot on the couch and relaxing, going for a drive with my H and ending up wherever we end up (it might be a restaurant, farm, bar, beach, whatever).
@PensiveCrayon mh police (eta: obv supposed to say loves) hygge time! He runs around lighting candles and saying "make America hygge again" lol
How far along are you? How big is baby?
29+ 4! As big as a bunny, apparently lol.
How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms?
Tired. So so tired. I can feel that something is going on in my pelvis, it's not really pressure or pain, I can just feel like more in my pelvis. I don't know how to explain it.

Rave: h made an apple pie last night and got some ice cream today and I can't wait to go have some! Gives me strength for the move!
GTKY: What are some things that make your day better?
Waking up before the alarm and getting to go back to sleep, checking things off my to do list. Snuggz with h.

How far along are you? How big is baby?
29w2d—size of an acorn squash
How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms?
Nothing new really. Sleep is elusive. Right now my butt hurts again because my body hates the way I sleep and I think I’m aggravating some nerve.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary?
Today is going to be a long day because dh has to work from like 10am-12am. So I’m on my own. Hopefully dd is in a good mood today.
GTKY: What are some things that make your day better?
DH having off, especially during the week. Doing a little outing or trip with the three of us is always fun. Also when dd takes a nice long nap. That’s always a good one.
@PensiveCrayon Mmm, cheesecake.
@Hollyyyyy I love drives with my H too.
@morgantu Oh, bunny-size is extra cute!
@rosebud332 Sorry your butt hurts
How far along are you? How big is baby?
30 weeks tomorrow
How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms?
Generally good, I can't tell if I am actually running out of steam faster, or if my batteries are lower than I perceive. I cannot possibly imagine having real responsibilities right meow.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary?
Dear diary, woke up to a dog fight this morning. DH was in the backyard with the dogs, and their excitement boiled over into a fight. I hear it and run out of bed, DH has one of the dogs down, and I open the door and the other dog runs in. Dogs were quick to calm, and that's nice.
I could tell that DH was disappointed that I went back to bed though. Before he left I tell him that I need more time with the giant pillow and that my stomach hurt. He didn't seem to believe that wrenching myself out of bed could cause minor pains. I did get fully out of bed before he left - but still. Ouch.
GTKY: What are some things that make your day better?
Big dog snuggles, DH surprising me with flowers. I am also a huge fan of grabbing a latte and a carwash. It's all in the details.

@echo-charlietango those quick movements can really set you back! I did that earlier at the gym and it took me awhile to get moving again!
@rosebud332 Long nap days are magical.
@morgantu I've got the same weird pelvis pains going on, too... makes no sense because this kid is transverse, but, I'm totally feeling more pain/pressure/something there.
@Hollyyyyy I agree with you about everything being a countdown! I feel like from here on out time is really going to fly with the Holiday's coming up... eeeek!
@PensiveCrayon playing with my DS on the ground is definitely getting more tricky and uncomfortable too
. I like your baby's size more...cheesecake?! Nom!
@CecilB93 Good reminder about the chiropractor! I'm past due to see mine!
How far along are you? How big is baby? 29+4, I think?
How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms? Achy and exhausted. Why do all of the people in my house want to constantly be fed?
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary? Dear diary, I am in a house full of boys. ALL OF THEM are boys... I need some of them to start pampering me ASAP... this momma is feeling burnt out, big time!
GTKY: What are some things that make your day better? When DH wakes up with the big kids for school and the littlest DH decides to be kind and sleep in... when those stars align, it's magical! Pedicures and nap time and my littlest baby deciding to snuggle me for a second instead of terrorize my house are also favorites!
How far along are you? 30 weeks today. Not sure about size. Huge?
How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms? Tired, peeing practically every hour, lots of heartburn, and have been waking up with calf and ankle cramps every night.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary? My husband has been out of town a ton this fall, and it's taking a toll. I already have to cut my work day short to be on time to pick my kids up from school every day (because their dumb school district has no after school programming for elementary kids). Now being on my own 3 of the last 4 weeks means I have to handle all the drop offs, and practices, and bedtime, etc.
GTKY: What are some things that make your day better? When my youngest (almost 20 months) sleeps in his own bed all night! He's been sick the past two weeks with a stomach issue and an ear infection. So no one has been sleeping well!
How far along are you? How big is baby?
30 weeks today! I keep singing "It's the final countdown" over and over. Baby is a tiny guy at just under 3 pounds.
How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms?
My wife is super tired and hungry all the time. I am a ball of anxiety.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary?
My boss at work has been travelling overseas for the last month. Its been so
GTKY: What are some things that make your day better?
My day is always better when our cleaning person comes, it is the splurge that saved our marriage. That is a tad dramatic but seriously that was always a fight in our house. I get to come home to a super clean house which lasts about 2 hours before the animals ruin it again. She even folds the towels so perfectly in the bathrooms.
How far along are you? How big is baby? 30+1, as tall as a cucumber
How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms? Like CRAP if I’m being honest. I can’t even do something as simple as walking from the car to the house without contractions, and my back is killing me.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary? Definitely have a rant. But I totally won’t blame you guys for not reading it because it’ll be long, lol. So my SIL texted me earlier this week asking if we’d mind if she took our 2yo son to SeaWorld’s Halloween event this weekend (about 2.5 hrs from home). Call me overprotective, but literally the ONLY person who has ever babysat/had a sleepover with DS are my parents, so my concern was that he’d freak out since he’s never been alone with them before. DH and I also feel like it’s kind of a long distance for him being so young, so we decided against it and figured she’d understand. Well, she didn’t. She’s giving me the cold shoulder now, sending one-word responses via text, and said she hopes that by Christmas we feel more comfortable so they can take him then. Are we being helicopter parents here? Honestly?
GTKY: What are some things that make your day better? Coffee in the mornings, hearing my son say “I love you mommy”, when my husband gets home from work in the evenings, watching the two of them play together...
