    1) Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 34 weeks; butternut squash.

    2) Age at delivery? (optional) 37

    3) Any other children? Furbabies? Nope.

    4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week? Painful spots in belly are driving me nuts, but overall, I feel good for being in the third tri, which is just not that comfortable!

    5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? Regular appointment this week. We need to actually register for some stuff (we started our registry last week and have an awe-inspiring 3 things on it). Work is finally preparing for my maternity leave and it's stressing me out; I want to be checking stuff off my list, not suddenly hiring an intern because they're worried.

    QOTW: What movie(s) can you watch 100 times without getting sick of it? Overboard.

    AMA & SAIF. TTC #1 since Oct. 2010. DX: Unexplained. BFP on break after 32 months trying and 2 med cycles. Baby girl born at 40w0d!

    1) Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby? October 4, 5 weeks, appleseed

    2) Age at delivery? (optional)

    3) Any other children? Furbabies? 5 other children, a dog and 4 hermit crabs

    4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week? Feeling fine other than slightly sore boobs.  Other pregnancies were pretty uneventful in the 1st tri, then came the spider and vericose veins :(  DREADING that.

    5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? This is a surprise pregnancy and about a month ago, I got invisalign. First, I wasn't aware of all the other stuff that goes on with invisalign, not fun. All I thought was I'd wear these plastic trays which I change every 3 weeks. It will be interesting to see how this process goes..

    QOTW: What movie(s) can you watch 100 times without getting sick of it? The Sound of Music (Julie Andrews version). Ok, I know I'd get sick of it before 100 times but I bet I've watched it 20 times by now. I just love that movie!

    I got a call from my doctor's office yesterday saying they need to cancel my 39 week appointment (I scheduled my last 8 appointments a few weeks ago). Turns out my doctor will be gone for 2 weeks right at the end of my pregnancy including on my due date! I am soooo bummed. I really like my doctor. I have an appointment this Friday so I'll ask her what to do when I get to that point. :(

    QOTW: What movie(s) can you watch 100 times without getting sick of it?
    I like everyone else's picks! I'll add "The Jerk". I just love Steve Martin.

    @muffinhny - good luck with the 20 week scan tomorrow!
    @2redtulips - glad you are feeling better!
    @Beachgal72 - stinky that your doc will be away at that time!  I hope you get someone else you like to do the delivery (and maybe get to see her/him a few appointments before that!  Or maybe your LO will come early or hang on 'til your doc. is back?

    1) Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby?  
    5/7/14 - will be 27 weeks tomorrow.  So this week is supposed to be lettuce and next week rutabaga.  ??

    2) Age at delivery? (optional 39

    3) Any other children? Furbabies?  2 cats

    4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week?   Starting to feel large.  Also LO  seems to be kneeing me in the bellybutton or just below it.  Or pushing with something hard.  It's not kicks - more of a constant pressure for a while.  Not so comfy.  Otherwise pretty OK except today I was really late getting to my after-school snack and realized I need to not do that again ... wooooozy!  All better now after food.

    5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?  
    GTT this Friday.  FX for that - really don't want to do the 3-hour!  Regular checkup with that too.  

    Also very happy to see that some others that are about as far along as me or farther also haven't bought much/done registry yet or at least haven't finished everything yet. Thank you!  especially @jbelle and @QOTR

    QOTW: What movie(s) can you watch 100 times without getting sick of it?
      Not sure if any ... maybe Princess Bride. 10 times anyway.   Could probably stand to see almost anything with Antonio Banderas a few extra times but not 100.   Maybe Breakfast Club and at least most of Pulp Fiction.  Haven't watched movies in a long time, though ... was having trouble even thinking of many others besides these!  Long ago (kid/teenager) remember seeing Footloose, Dirty Dancing, Some Kind of Wonderful, and I think also Say Anything many times - not sure if I'd still enjoy those or not.  Well and there's also the Monty Python movies of course - saw those a bunch and probably still could especially since it's been a while.

    ooohh ooohh oohh can't believe I forgot - one more rant/rave ... please please please let there be a snow day tomorrow!  *so* ready for one even if it's another day i'll have to take as maternity leave in June.  But storm total forecast looks borderline.  I live over an hour away though and everyone is staying I should call in sick if school isn't canceled, especially because of being preggo, BUT ... it'll be the 100th day of school (which is a really big deal in first grade) so that just won't work well at all.  Especially because I just spent the last 20 minutes before I have to go having my snack and typing here instead of laying materials out in case there has to be a sub. tomorrow.   
    Also we need as much snow as possible to repair that icy mess that the playground currently is so the kids can have some good recess play.

    Thank you for letting me rant/rave about that!  bye again.
