1. How many weeks? How big is baby? 30/zucchini 

2. How are you feeling? Mostly okay. Not sleeping well and makes me feel like I’m catching a cold. 

3. Rants/Raves/Questions? Whoever wakes me up tonight is getting stabbed, with the exception of DD. H snores like a damn chainsaw. The damn dogs randomly bark and/or howl. I’m going to lose my mind. The dogs woke up DD, but at least I didn’t have to get up with her. But something needs to change before baby comes bc whoever wakes the baby up will die. 

4. Any appts this week? Nope. Monday!

5. (Stolen from Wed) What are your current pregnant lady struggles and your current pregnant lady joys? Lack of sleep. Joys? Umm I’ve been walking during my lunch hours and it makes me feel so much better. Like I’m not just a lump of lard. Baby moves quite a bit, but this one actually hurts a little. But I’ll take it. 

Happy Friday everyone!

1. How many weeks? How big is baby? 30 weeks! Zucchini I think? Which is smaller than an acorn squash, just for the record. But I think maybe some weeks they do the fruit/veg by weight and some weeks it's by length?

2. How are you feeling? Ehh ... physically I'm starting to hurt at the end of the day. Mentally I'm starting to panic about going from 1 to 2. And there's still so much I feel like we need to do.

3. Rants/Raves/Questions? I feel like I don't know anything about preterm labor/NICU stays. Hopefully it's not something any of us need, but we're getting to the point where it's a possibility for some so it might be interesting to start a thread?

4. Any appts this week? I go Tuesday for a regular check up, then back in another 2 weeks for a check up and growth scan.

5. (Stolen from Wed) What are your current pregnant lady struggles and your current pregnant lady joys? Struggles: having no clothes to wear to work, wanting to wear belts, getting so tired by the end of the day. Joys: feeling baby girl react to her big brother, releasing myself from weight-related anxiety, knowing what to expect from the first few weeks. I'm one of those weirdos who just thrived in the first few weeks with DS. I LOVED having a brand spankin' newborn. My anxiety makes it easier for me to be in survival mode (my anxiety ramps up when I'm not incredibly busy/having to think on my feet), so it got a lot harder for me when we settled into a routine. Once we had that routine down is when my post-partum anxiety and depression set in. So I'm excited to feel that rush of the first few weeks again.

1. How many weeks? How big is baby? 31 weeks, asparagus 

2. How are you feeling? Tired and over being pregnant

3. Rants/Raves/Questions? DD is being a PITA about naps again. I’m so so tired. 

4. Any appts this week? Next Wednesday 

5. (Stolen from Wed) What are your current pregnant lady struggles and your current pregnant lady joys? Struggles: Sleeping on my sides hurts my hips and causes me to wake many times in the night, sleep deprivation has made my patience for my toddler’s mood swings thin, getting hard to breath and do basic things like put on pants, anxiety about having a baby and a toddler. 
Joys: feeling baby girl move, being comfortable with clingy belly clothes, being the most pregnant during cool weather (DD it was during the dead heat of summer), talking to DD about being a big sister, knowing that we are going to have another little person in our family.

1. How many weeks? How big is baby? 

31w, a bunch of asparagus.

2. How are you feeling?

Had a cold/sinus issues since Friday but starting to come out of it.  The heartburn is real though.

3. Rants/Raves/Questions?  

Agree about the NICU board @BourbonBiscuits , I had a Lyft driver who told me his baby was born last week at 34 was.  I was floored that it could be so close.  Hopefully we’ll all go to term, but would be great to have an outlet for guidance/prep.

4. Any appts this week? Went well.

5. (Stolen from Wed) What are your current pregnant lady struggles and your current pregnant lady joys?  Struggles: All this mat leave paperwork is driving me nuts.  Everything is so confusing and HR is not guiding me thru it. Joys:  Baby shower is next weekend, and looking forward to seeing friends and family who are traveling in
