How are you feeling? Good! My belly is really popping lately. I did a lot of walking this weekend 9-10 miles two days in a row. I noticed some crampy feeling (Braxton Hicks?), but after rest and drinking water they went away. 

Raves/Rants: I ordered a bunch of nursery furniture! Things are getting real! 

Questions: 

GTKY (stolen from group 2): What's on your holiday wish list?
maternity winter coat, a shirt, some nursing pajamas from kindred bravely and I told everyone to just shop off the registry!

Baby is the size of a(n): Grapefruit

Upcoming Appointments: Dec 18th

How are you feeling? My back hurts and my hips hurt. 🙁

Raves/Rants: See above for my rant. I’m starting to be uncomfortable. I really need to actually go through with doing the prenatal stretching and yoga and stuff.

Questions: How are you all doing with your registries and nurseries? I feel like I started strong and then just am at a standstill.

GTKY (stolen from group 2): What's on your holiday wish list? A pregnancy ball, some maternity clothes, a few odds and ends. Nothing crazy.

EDD/W+D: April 5th // 23 + 2 

Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Blue

Baby is the size of a(n): Grapefruit

Upcoming Appointments: Nothing till January. Did my own little check up at work the other day and all is well 😉

How are you feeling? Excellent! Possibly getting a bit more tired again though? 

Raves/Rants: Starting yesterday I can now see the baby moving from the outside!! It’s super cool / freaky / amazing / distracting all at once! 

@literatureandink exact same with the nursery! Did a couple coats of paint (it probably needs another) and set up the furniture... since then nothing at all. Also I had some pelvic pain the other day and I just did a few of the stretches I learnt in yoga and it totally helped!

GTKY (stolen from group 2): What's on your holiday wish list? The only stuff I want right now are baby items 😆 I think I might get my SO and baby matching outfits for Xmas.

GTKY What's on your holiday wish list?

There is a faux fur blanket at Anthro that is just fabulous and I secretly want.

@literatureandink our registries are done but nursery is at a stand-still! I have to finish painting before I can unroll the rug and make DH build the crib. Clock is ticking for me since painting is only going to get more uncomfortable as the days pass.

@literatureandink I feel okay about my registry, but will probably still add or subtract some. I don’t want to look at my baby shower registry right now, because I got an email that Things have been purchased (Christmas presents) and I don’t want to spoil it! As for the nursery, we already had it the color we want prior to getting pregnant. We ordered furniture, but are waiting to work on it until after Christmas since my husband’s Brother will be staying in the room and we’d have to move the bed out of there’s

@independentgeorge Happy Viability!!!!

Baby is the size of a(n): Grapefruit (but it must be a grapefruit like my grandmother grows in Arizona if next week is a cantaloupe!)

Upcoming Appointments: December 19

How are you feeling? I’m feeling mostly okay this week, but stressed by work. Bleh. 

Raves/Rants: I have to rant that our CFO submitted a report to a funder without reviewing it with either the controller or with me (and she and I had reconciled the financial information related to this report). When I received a copy yesterday, I discovered it had several errors! You are the CFO for goodness sake! You make 3x my salary, but you can’t be bothered to make sure you are using up-to-date financial information? So irritating. 

A rave though: I’m loving the new commute now that our office has moved closer to my house!

Questions: 

GTKY: This one is easy for me because I already know what we’re getting! 😁 A new Ninja blender system, a Fitbit (my first!) and lots of time with family who are visiting or who are helping us to visit them in the new year. My husband and I are going to Boston for New Years and our Christmas has been securing all of our travel arrangements for the trip!

@literatureandink I feel like I’ve nailed down our registries, but I haven’t done anything for the nursery other than mentally plan where furniture will be placed and how I might organize the closet. My January project will be starting to acquire the furniture and new curtains, etc. I’m not planning to paint, since the walls are already neutral, but I do have to find a home for or get rid of most of what is currently in the space because it has been our office/music/workout room...

@jenabary I live near Boston! The city is magical during the holidays!

jenabary

@literatureandink So happy to hear this! I’ve never been, but I’m excited to go. Any suggestions of what we shouldn’t miss?
