How are you feeling/symptoms? feel decent. I have had a good week or two break from my crotch pain, but it's starting to come back. Sleep is okay though I'm definitely waking up to turn over more and my hips are sore if I spend too long on one side.
Upcoming Appointments/Updates? had my 28 week appt and GTT a few days ago - all is well, I haven't heard back about my GTT so I'm assuming I passed. Now we're on to appts every 2 weeks.
Rants/Raves? Bragging about DD for a second - we moved her to her big girl bed this week and after a rough bedtime the first night, she's done awesome! She loves her new room and bed and I'm so sentimental about her being in a real bed! Now I can start getting the nursery ready for a newborn again!
GTKY: Will you have any help around the house once the baby is born (ie, DH, SO, Mother, MIL)? MH will be taking a week or two off (I'm assuming anyway, that's what he did last time). My mom works nearby too so I imagine she may want to stop by some days after work.
29 weeks and Acorn Squash. Excited last week of 20s. Next appt is Thurs. I passed my 3 hr GTT. Feeling pretty good other than tired. Getting up to go to the bathroom multiple times a night is annoying. Rants- I hate that our tax return isn't that good this year. Annoyed that I ordered a cardigan from BRU only to find out it was very dark navy not black. I wore it for GMILs funeral anyway. We can't agree on names Raves- excited that the rock n play came in yesterday. I have a bridal shower tomorrow. Can't wait to see some friends. Hoping we get the dreaded snow since it was a rough, long work week. Our first full week since mid-December. DH is off the week of the scheduled RCS. MIL is retired so I am sure she will be helping when DH goes back to work. ILs are taking DS the night before RCS.
How are you feeling/symptoms? Well, I'm very sleepy all the time and I'm feeling lots of uncomfortable butt pain. Other than that it's all okay.
Upcoming Appointments/Updates? I have an appointment on Friday. Yay! Finally!
Rants/Raves? Rant: My butt hurts, can't sit, stand or lie down for too long. Rave: We booked an appointment to see baby in 4d and get a DVD in 2 weeks. Yay!
GTKY: Will you have any help around the house once the baby is born (ie, DH, SO, Mother, MIL)? DH will be home for a week or so. Then my dad is coming over and then after thy my mom. My MIL is a wreck I can't imagine her helping. I can't eat burnt food for a week.
How are you feeling/symptoms? Getting up is hard and baby has landed herself on my sciatic nerve a few times.
Upcoming Appointments/Updates? Endocrinologist on Tuesday, OB on Thursday.
Rants/Raves? DD's furniture finally came in but I ordered it in my home state and they won't deliver here. We would have to use an outside company and it would cost $350. Now I have to wait until the end of the month when my mom and stepdad come here with a truck. So I can't do the nursery until April which makes me anxious.
GTKY: Will you have any help around the house once the baby is born (ie, DH, SO, Mother, MIL)? DH will be taking 2 weeks off from work, my mom will [or at least she better] be coming here and hoping MIL isn't up my ass.
Feeling really tired and run down all the time. My SPD has been acting up a little more then usual these past few days.
OB appt this Thursday. NST @ 34 weeks(once a week until due date) Growth U/S @ 35wks
Semi-Rant---we went for another sonorgram this past week and everything was good and measuring just right HOWEVER LO decided we still aren't going to find out if we are having a boy or girl. Lo was head down feet up but turned sideways and all curled up so the doctor wasn't able to see. We have one more growth u/s at 35 weeks, so crossing our fingers we find out then.
Dh may stay home a few days, up to a week depending on what his works allows. But I'll probably be on my own to take my DD to school and have baby allday alone. My mother has been sick with cervical cancer, brain tumors, and seizures all within the last 2 years, so she's not really up to helping as much as she used to. And MIL probably will ask to bring baby to her instead of coming to us, so yeah I'll probably be on my own after DH goes back to work.
How are you feeling/symptoms? Feeling fine, sleeping is rough these days but I have to get used to it anyway for when baby is here!
Upcoming Appointments/Updates? Had my glucose test Monday and scheduled my C Section as well for 2 days before my EDD
Rants/Raves? Not sure if this is a rant OR a rave, but finally started to clear out baby's room today (it's currently our office/storage room) there is a lot left to do but at least it's started!
GTKY: Will you have any help around the house once the baby is born (ie, DH, SO, Mother, MIL)? Baby will be here on memorial day weekend, DH will take off some time but not sure quite how much yet.
How are you feeling/symptoms? Having some issues with low blood sugar (running I the 50s), insomnia. Otherwise feeling pretty good.
Upcoming Appointments/Updates? Just had my 3 hr GTT yesterday and passed whoo hoo! No other appt until 3/10
Rants/Raves? Passed my 3 hour! Getting to see my family this weekend for my little nephew's baptism. Getting nervous that time is really flying by.
GTKY: Will you have any help around the house once the baby is born (ie, DH, SO, Mother, MIL)? Dh will take 4 days off once I have the baby. I will prob have some visitors here and there that hopefully will help out since all of our family is all out of town.
How are you feeling/symptoms? The usual- heartburn, tiredness, elephant feet, ache body
Upcoming Appointments/Updates? Appointment on Wed- biweekly appointment now
Rants/Raves? Goodbye Placenta Pervia and I passed my Glucose Test!
GTKY: Will you have any help around the house once the baby is born (ie, DH, SO, Mother, MIL)? I'm not sure yet. I've told DH I need him to take some time off but he has been unsure. Hopefully this will change when baby gets here. My mom says she took the week after I'm due but we will see if that means she will be here for help.
How are you feeling/symptoms? Sore and irritable. Having serious issues walking by the end of my work days and by OB is useless - told me to just go to L&D instead of telling me if this kind of discomfort is normal or what could be the issue. 6 weeks of work left before I start my mat leave - I think I can, I think I can, I think I can
Upcoming Appointments/Updates? I had a follow-up appt with the specialist to see if baby has clubfoot. Couldnt tell because its getting squishy in there now. At the same appt, I found out baby has an irregular heartbeat. I am scheduled for fetal heartbeat monitoring for the next 3 weeks to see if it clears up. OB appt on Monday and I plan to give the doctor a piece of my mind in regards to the lack of after hours email/phone care.
Rants/Raves? Rant: Upset with my OB and hoping he will listen to me on Monday instead of shrugging off my complaints. Baby now has an irregular HB and I dont know why it is only being caught now. Rave: I had my little sister visit last weekend and found out my Dad will be visiting next weekend! I miss my family so much and it doesnt help that we are spread out all over the country.
GTKY: Will you have any help around the house once the baby is born (ie, DH, SO, Mother, MIL)? I dont think I will have much help. DH gets 3 days of leave once baby is born and then he is back to work. ILs live in town, but I think I will just be valuing my space and time with baby.
How are you feeling/symptoms? Pretty good aside from the continued fatigue, hair loss and the stiff, achy back, but I really can't complain. Oh, and my spider veins are ridiculously disgusting.
Upcoming Appointments/Updates? Had a cervical length check last Thurs - still holding steady at 3.2cm, so I'm very relieved about that. I'm about 3.5 weeks away from when I delivered DS, so I'm very anxious!
Rants/Raves? Happy to still be pregnant - feeling like a cow with all this weight gain.
GTKY: Will you have any help around the house once the baby is born (ie, DH, SO, Mother, MIL)? DH will hang out for a week or so, my parents will drive in and stay for a week, too. I'm not sure yet what the arrangements will be, but I should have some help with DS.
Week/fruit? 31 weeks, Pineapple (lots of 31 weekers representing today!)
How are you feeling/symptoms? Just my ongoing back and pelvic pain. At my appointment this past week my MW felt his head practically in my vagina so I guess that explains the constant pressure down there.
Upcoming Appointments/Updates? Nothing this week. Rants/Raves? Rant: Just found out I have to travel for work in a few weeks which is not going to be very much fun with my ginormous belly and nonstop back pain. Rave: Started Hypnobirthing last week and hired a doula, really excited about both! GTKY: Will you have any help around the house once the baby is born (ie, DH, SO, Mother, MIL)? DH will be home for a week or two and I'm sure my mom will be over a lot I'm sure.

@Soupy84 Sorry your OB is making a stressful situation even worse, that's not ok. FX that you get some answers soon, let us know how it goes!
How are you feeling/symptoms? Pretty good, SPD is worst at night, but still manageable.
Upcoming Appointments/Updates? I have an appointment on 3/6 and ultrasound on 3/19 to check growth
Rants/Raves? My friend set up a date for my sprinkle
GTKY: Will you have any help around the house once the baby is born (ie, DH, SO, Mother, MIL)? My mom is staying with us for a month and my MIL lives an hour away and can help if needed, too.
