Baby is the size of a (an): zucchini 

Team blue/pink/green: team blue

Upcoming Appointments: no appointments until December 😵‍💫

How are you feeling?: my hips and inner thighs are so sore. Walking and sleeping are getting harder to do. Also been feeling overwhelmed lately.

Rants/Raves: been feeling overwhelmed. Also, still unemployed so that hasn’t been helping my mental state at all.

Questions: for non First Time Moms, how have you handled bringing home your additional child? My little will be 18 months old when I give birth and I’m so nervous about that introduction.

GTKY: What’s your favorite way to spend a weekend? I like to spend time outdoors. When I lived in San Diego, I would take mountain drives. Now, I do occasional beach drives. I am glad the weather has finally cooled a bit here in Florida.

Baby is the size of a (an): head of cauliflower

Team blue/pink/green: pink

Upcoming Appointments: this week I have an extra appointment and ultrasound with perinatology 

How are you feeling?: just all around uncomfortable this week

Rants/Raves: I feel like I'm feeling more uncomfortable this pregnancy and I don't know if I just don't remember last time. Or if it's because last time I was pregnant it was in 2020 and I was off work (because everything shut down) during this part of my pregnancy. 

Questions: none

GTKY: What’s your favorite way to spend a weekend? I usually work on the weekends, so anytime I can get the time off I just really enjoy spending the time with my family. But if I really get to choose, it would be going to the beach. Which we're doing this weekend! I'm so excited and just ready to have some relax time.

Baby is the size of a (an): cauliflower

Team blue/pink/green: pink

Upcoming Appointments: Nov 14th is the GD test

How are you feeling?: Pretty good for the most part. Moving to weekly chiro appts at 28 weeks and I really think the bi-weekly adjustments have been good for me so far.

Rants/Raves: Last week I made a post about lack of movement (or faint movements) and I feel like it has been picking up. I joked that today she was all over the place. So that is a relief.

Questions: Has anyone used a doula before? We just hired one for the first time (hospital birth).

GTKY: What’s your favorite way to spend a weekend? Eating good food and not having a ton of plans. The last month has been super busy, but this weekend we are staying home and starting our Christmas decorating🎄

Baby is the size of a (an): a bunch of kale (🤢)

Team blue/pink/green: Green

Upcoming Appointments: Glucose screening was last week, passed

How are you feeling?: Tired, very tired.

Rants/Raves: Rant: I think I’m growing a vampire because this kiddo wiggles around out of control between 12am and 6am. Rave: Boyfriend hasn’t gagged or made a single face of displeasure this past week through some really rank cravings he’s been subjected to sitting near. 

Questions: none at the moment. 

GTKY: What’s your favorite way to spend a weekend? It’s started to get “cold” here in Southern California, I know our cold is nothing compared to you all in the Midwest and eastern US, but for us, it’s cold. I really enjoy sitting under a cozy blanket reading or watching a movie OR, go on a walk and just breathe the crisp of the air. 

Also, pumpkin pie. All the pumpkin pie.

@luckyduck42 Did you have to fast? Mine is tomorrow afternoon and no one has said anything about it🤷‍♀️

farmwifemimi

@karlee05 I had to fast for mine. They said 10-12 hours. Bring a snack so you can eat as soon as they're done with the test! 

luckyduck42

@karlee05 no, I did not have to fast for the 1 hour.
