    GTKY: Who was your favorite/most memorable teacher growing up? All of my elementary teachers were amazing and I loved all of them. My 4th grade teacher was probably my favorite. She loved soft/baseball and did a whole softball unit in the spring. The class split into two teams and we all learned how to play. I was not a sports kid, but I remember it being such a blast and she really fostered a supportive environment to make it fun for everyone.

    Most memorable is probably my high school choir teacher… he made it a point to terrify the freshmen into maintaining order in the classroom the first few months (in my district you had to take one year of some sort of art or music in HS so there were a lot of freshmen who were in choir because it was the least objectionable option to them) but was the kindest, funniest, most encouraging teacher once he knew you weren’t a menace lol

    How are you feeling?: Tired, but we stayed up to watch a doc on the Murdouch trial so was self inflicted. I posted about the intense pelvic pain I get in the Symptoms thread. Excited to try out this new belt.
    Rants/Raves: @ashleyp625 same boat. I don't have any rants/raves except yay 10 more weeks but also yikes 10 MORE weeks.
    Questions: NATM
    GTKY: Who was your favorite/most memorable teacher growing up? Junior high language arts teacher. She was fantastic. I was always a big reader, but she really fostered my love for reading. She was a very popular teacher, but so loved. She passed away my senior year of HS, and we made a scrapbook for her sort of a look at us now 4 years later sort of thing.

    @hestia-is-wearie I am sure that DD will be so excited/worn out from all the fun that she will sleep really well!

    @BourbonBiscuits so both of mine were elective, but also recommended (if that makes sense) for my oldest, my BP had been high towards the end (like last 4 weeks or so, they thought maybe white coat syndrome. because it always went down, but was still high) two weeks before he was born our house flooded resulting in a complete house reno and we went from hotel to hospital to condo with a newborn for six months before moving back. OB recommended it that it would be nice to have something to plan for with all we had going on. With my youngest, I had GBS and was on the fence about it but she mentioned the antibiotics for it and it was nice to be able to plan for MIL to be here for my oldest. Much easier process with DS2, I did red raspberry tea, dates and bouncing on a workout ball, so 10 hours from check in to birth vs my oldest with 24 hrs. I did the cyrotech, foley balloon and pitocin for both. Not sure what will happen with this one!

    @BourbonBiscuits my son was born at 39 weeks due to high blood pressure, and they’re already planning for this one to be around then as well, if my numbers look good. I think if you have reasons and your doc is on board, it should be okay. Def not a professional but I know that’s considered full term.

    @BourbonBiscuits My first two were both before 40 weeks (39 week induction due to pre-eclampsia symptoms getting too aggressive which ended in an unplanned c section and scheduled c section at 39+3 and thr second planned for 39+3 but ended in an unplanned c section at 37+3 because that kid does what she wants) and my current is scheduled for 39+1 weeks.  That overshare to say, in my life 39 weeks would be normal.  I see family doctors and not OBs though, I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

    Baby is the size of a: pop
    Team blue/pink/green: pink
    Upcoming Appointments: next week
    How are you feeling?: Huge, even though people say I don’t show much. 
    Rants/Raves: My 3 year old is currently hilarious and I feel like I like her more the older she gets. It makes me nervous to start over with a baby, but when my 3 year old was a baby I liked her just fine. It’s a weird fear but I’m worried I don’t like babies anymore because I like my three year old? This probably won’t be how I feel all the time but even if it is the baby will eventually turn into a three year old +. 
    Questions: natm
    GTKY: Who was your favorite/most memorable teacher growing up? My piano teacher! She only ever had positive things to say. She was nearing retirement and would drop students who didn’t practice, so actually it made my parents have to be the people who nagged me to do it, because she wasn’t going to. 🤣 

    @BourbonBiscuits I requested and got scheduled for a 39 week induction the first time, but then I got pre-eclampsia and got induced at 38 weeks. 😂 Even though I’m legally entitled to maternity leave etc etc it’s hard on my coworkers to fill the work schedule while I’m out, so I wanted *some* predictability and didn’t want a lot of can’t work but not delivered time off but also didn’t want to be working past 39 weeks. 😬

    Baby is the size of a: Zucchini (has to be from a home garden and not store bought) 

    Team blue/pink/green: Blue

    Upcoming Appointments: 3/15 

    How are you feeling?: Swollen feet and calves that hurt. Never swelled in any of my other pregnancies. My back is doing a lot better, still have the sciatic pain but not as often or as painful 🙏🏻 

    Rants/Raves: baby shower is 3/11 excited to have it but sad it’s raining. We had to rent a tent with walls and clear out space for people to sit. I do wish I had someone to plan it for me but I’m the only event planner out of my friends. Spent 2 weeks slowly doing everything. 

    Questions: what do you do for swelling? 

    GTKY: Who was your favorite/most memorable teacher growing up? Don’t think I have a favorite, I was in a small charter school so all my teachers were special to me.

    Sorry I've been so MIA. I really do love coming on here to check up on everyone! Also: If anyone wants to take this to private group I would really support that. Once my December 2019 group went private it got a lot better tbh! I still talk to those ladies 3 years later.

    I am 30 weeks and 5 days. 

    Baby is the size of A winter squash lol

    Upcoming Appointments: So I just had another US scan to check on the umbilical chord and growth, they realized my chord is NOT Velamentous, and that its Marginal which was a relief. Then they said the growth was super tiny like 13th%tile, but last check up was great. Growth was up passed 19% so I am feeling relieved. Passed my Glucose test too, by a HAIR.

    How are you feeling?: Pretty okay, Sleeping good. I just feel very heavy and hard to bend over. I really wish my husband would just pick up shit off the floor for me. I have reminded him twenty five thousand times that I am done bending over lmao.

    Rants/Raves: see above. other than that I feel pretty prepared this time mentally. I know what to expect and I'm just anxious bc my son was early (5 weeks) that this baby will come early too, so nursery is totally complete as of this week. I feel relieved about that. I even have leftover newborn diapers from last time that I put up in the drawers. Feels real now! Also excited we are squeezing in one last trip the three of us to Clearwater next Weds. I cannot wait to get our of the Chicago cold!

    GTKY: Who was your favorite/most memorable teacher growing up? I love how many Band ppl we have here! My band director was also awesome.
