How far along are you? What is your fruit/veggie? 28 weeks/ eggplant

How are you feeling? Fantastic, I am being proactive with any back pain by not sitting down all of the time. When visiting with family and friends I get up and stand or walk around. It definitely helps. Also, prenatal yoga is such a wonderful thing.

Upcoming appointments, milestones, etc? 28 week labs coming up next week.

Any questions you'd like to ask? Nothing that I know of today.

GTKY: What type of beverage do you go for in the morning? Organic, decaf coffee...usually Newmans Own. Not every morning, a couple of times a week. And hot water with lemon slices. Such a relaxing drink.

Upcoming appointments, milestones, etc?

Smores730 · January 2014

How far along are you? What is your fruit/veggie? 26 weeks. Bringing up the rear! No clue on the fruit/veggie thing.

How are you feeling? Feeling great! Although if we want to cover all the TMI stuff, my vag is so friggen swollen. When I squat down things bulge in weird ways they never should, Yikes! Mentally I'm starting to feel the pressure of not decorating or painting the nursery yet..

Upcoming appointments, milestones, etc? I've got the glucose test next week and I'm totally not looking forward to it. I threw up the drink last pregnancy and hoping to not repeat that fun scenario.

Any questions you'd like to ask? nope

GTKY: What type of beverage do you go for in the morning? I'm really not a drinker in the morning unless I'm having cereal and almond milk. I'll drink hot tea after dinner sometimes if that counts

Upcoming appointments, milestones, etc?
Late to the party - glucose test is on Tuesday and have the first of my biweekly appointments!

Any questions you'd like to ask? Nope! I put a pic of me and my son as a newborn as my profile pic on fb and people thought I gave birth. Not yet!!!

GTKY: What type of beverage do you go for in the morning?
I have a single espresso latte every morning (cut down from my double!).

How far along are you? What is your fruit/veggie? 29weeks Acorn Squash

I hope I pass

Any questions you'd like to ask? Nope

GTKY: What type of beverage do you go for in the morning? Water or OJ it used to be coffee but I cut back on caffeine and my job moved and the coffee at the new building is the worst so I don't even bother

CalinAZ · January 2014

How far along are you? What is your fruit/veggie? 26 Weeks; Lettuce!

How are you feeling? I am feeling legitimately big and tired. Stressed about having so many Braxton Hicks and having to go to the bathroom all the time, which is super problematic since I only have a break every 3 1/2 hours as a teacher. I've been having to ask coworkers to watch my class so I can run out, but the bathroom is on the opposite side of campus through 2 locked gates and a locked door, so it is incredibly inconvenient. I can't imagine how back it's still going to get.

Upcoming appointments, milestones, etc? Just had my 25 week appointment, which was great! Planning the glucose test for two weeks.

Any questions you'd like to ask? Did anyone else do the glucose test in the late afternoon? What did you eat that day leading up to it?

GTKY: What type of beverage do you go for in the morning? Lately, orange juice and milk. I sometimes indulge in a cup of black tea.

eireyes · January 2014

How far along are you? What is your fruit/veggie? 28 weeks/ eggplant

How are you feeling? Pregnancy-wise I feel really good; I think the prenatal yoga is helping out there. Overall health-wise I feel like death warmed over. I'm pretty sure I have a sinus infection, and that has expanded to attempt a hostile takeover of my lungs in the past two days. I'm going to beg for something to try and kick this out of my system at my appointment today.

Upcoming appointments, milestones, etc? GTT today, and starting the two week appointments after this one!

Any questions you'd like to ask? Got nothing!

GTKY: What type of beverage do you go for in the morning? Orange juice is my standard go-to drink. I love that stuff!

Rachnan · January 2014

How far along are you? What is your fruit/veggie? 28 weeks, eggplant

How are you feeling? Exhausted, trying to adjust to 11 hour days at this point has been rough to say the least, also started to get those painful calf cramps at night

Upcoming appointments, milestones, etc? Just had my 28 week yesterday and everything went well!

Any questions you'd like to ask? not right now

GTKY: What type of beverage do you go for in the morning? lots and lots of water

pannk · January 2014

How far along are you? What is your fruit/veggie? 27w.

How are you feeling? I'm already starting to feel uncomfortable. Having a pretty difficult time breathing.

Upcoming appointments, milestones, etc? We finally made our first nursery purchase.. a dresser. 30w appointment isn't until Feb.

Any questions you'd like to ask? nope

GTKY: What type of beverage do you go for in the morning? I've been sucking down grapefruit juice like my life depends on it.

jgreig83 · January 2014

@CalinAZ I had my test a few weeks ago, I ate pretty normal during the day, but made sure I stayed away from a high carb meal the night before, and no junk foods before bed. My metabolism is pretty slow and I was worried it might affect my glucose in the AM. I passed!

How far along are you? What is your fruit/veggie? 27 weeks, Rutabaga

How are you feeling? Good, starting to feel some light BH during the day and LO has been super active over the past week. Things have been pretty stressful at work so I am really looking forward to mat leave (10 weeks and counting).

Upcoming appointments, milestones, etc? Ultrasound on Monday to check out my cyst on the left ovary. I am praying it is either gone or shrunk down a bit. It seems to have been there for years without any change, but sometimes the imaging doesn't pick it up (me and my vanishing/reappearing magical cyst).

Any questions you'd like to ask? Nope.

GTKY: What type of beverage do you go for in the morning? Usually a 1/2 caf soy late..although I am starting to realize that I should just opt for hot water and lemon. I need to start saving the money I spend at Starbucks.

girliegirl827 · January 2014

@CalinAZ I was told to have a high protein/fat meal the day of the test, though I haven't taken the test itself yet. My midwife suggested eggs with a side of bacon or something similar

blahswife · January 2014

Hi I'm 28weeks today veggi/eggplant.
I've been feeling a lot better physically but the emotions have taken over this weekend. Baby is getting super active.
I have an appointment next Friday. And because I have chronic hypertension I'll get another growth scan in 2 weeks. I can't believe how far we've all come.
No questions right now.
I mostly drink water or some type of juice. But I sure can't wait to start getting my triple venti Carmel macchiato again. Boy I miss those. Sometimes I can tolerate a regular strength cup of coffee but I refuse to buy that.

Asljoc · January 2014

How far along are you? What is your fruit/veggie? 26 weeks, no clue about the veggie

How are you feeling? Pretty great. Heartburn strikes now and then but I'm trying to enjoy feeling good before I get super uncomfortable in the coming weeks.

Upcoming appointments, milestones, etc? GT on Tuesday

GTKY: What type of beverage do you go for in the morning? My tummy tends to be touchy in the morning so I'd say milk on my cereal.

Jessimax · January 2014

How far along are you? What is your fruit/veggie? 27 weeks, rutabaga I think

How are you feeling? Large, very very large and in pain

Upcoming appointments, milestones, etc? Have my paper for GT test, just have to find the time to do it....

GTKY: What type of beverage do you go for in the morning? Milk milk and more milk, we go through liters and liters of the stuff.

cloudninemom2be · January 2014

Looks like milk, OJ, and water are our go-to's ladies!! There really is nothing better than a cold glass of high pulp OJ!! And I'm right there with most of you, I chug so much water during the day..I sometimes feel like I'm floating to bed at night.

To answer your question as best as I can...I am a First-time Mom to be, but have done some research and have talked to family and friends with babies....so please make note that I am not a pro. As far as the pack and play...I say it may be more beneficial than not. Especially if you plan on taking baby on day trips/ overnight trips etc. you could even leave the pack and play at a relatives house, or a friend that you visit regularly, that way you are always ready. And for a swing...I personally did not register for one. However I did register for a bouncer/ bassinet. As you mentioned, it is all personal preference. One site that helped me plan was Lucie's List...a great resource for registries.
