Good Morning, Ladies! Happy Monday!

Week/Fruit:

How are you feeling?

Appointments/Updates?

Rants/Raves:

GTKY: What number baby is this for you? How many children do you want and why?

kramja01 · March 2014

Week/Fruit: 32/squash (although the picture looks like a pumpkin!)

How are you feeling? BIG! I ate too much this weekend and all the traveling in the car has made me super puffy.

Appointments/Updates? Next bi-weekly appointment is Thursday. Other than that, just chugging along.

Rants/Raves: I had my mom's side of the family baby shower this weekend. My mom did a really nice job, but it was kind of bittersweet--most of the old relatives are not doing well, and my grandma has really gone downhill lately. So sad. And, my super-wealthy great-aunt gave me a photo collage frame with really unflattering pictures of me as a tween. That's it. Um, thanks? I try to be grateful for whatever I receive, but I have no idea how this relates to baby...

GTKY: What number baby is this for you? How many children do you want and why? This is my first baby. I always say I want two or three kids, no real reason, but DH is firmly in the "2 is enough" camp. He has my mom on his side, though--she says "two kids, two hands!" I think we will end up with two.

Happy Monday - we're almost there!

Week/Fruit: 34/butternut squash

How are you feeling? sore and tired (see thread entitiled: "you never saw a pregnant lady move so fast")

Appointments/Updates? pre-natal massage and chiropractic adjustment today. yay!

Rants/Raves: none...i'm too tired.

GTKY: What number baby is this for you? How many children do you want and why? Peanut is baby #1, and we'd like 2-3 children. i always dreamed of a large familyk (5+ kids), but we're getting a late start, so I don't think we'll have more than 2. three might be a stretch for DH. we'll see how it goes.

Kageer · March 2014

Week/Fruit: 31 weeks

How are you feeling? Tired. I am not sleeping well at night and it is ridiculous how winded I am doing the simplest of tasks.

Appointments/Updates? None until 32 week appt next week.

Rants/Raves: this is a rant and a rave-it is my son's spring break so on one hand we have no schedule or running around to do this week but on the other hand that means this week might drag.

GTKY: What number baby is this for you? How many children do you want and why? This is #3 for us and our last. We have a 5 year old and and an almost three year old. Three has Always been our number.

RachelCA29 · March 2014

Week/Fruit: week 33, a durian - I don't know what that is.

How are you feeling?

Pretty good. I think he's getting really long and moved down a lot. This past week was the first week I really felt pressure on my pelvis and the constant, yet sudden urge to pee.

Appointments/Updates?

My 34 week appointment will be Wednesday. Nothing exciting happening otherwise.

Rants/Raves:

Rave: My bathroom reno is coming along nicely (finally). Floor tile went down yesterday, and half the shower is tiled. Next weekend will be a big "finish off" weekend, then just the little stuff. Yay!

Rant: I went on a coffee run for the office this morning and blew a tire! So now I need to get one of my co-workers to help me change the spare and get new tired tomorrow. We planned on getting new all seasons when the winter tires came off in April, but this has sped up the process to getting them this week, especially since our spare is a bit smaller than the winter tires we have ... so I'll have a lop-sided car for the drive home I guess.

GTKY: What number baby is this for you? How many children do you want and why?

This is our first baby, and probably only. We always wanted children, at least one, but I think we'll be very happy with just the one. Financially and life-style wise, it just makes sense for us.

JACKIE_RS88 · March 2014

Good Morning, Ladies! Happy Monday!

Week/Fruit: 32 weeks/squash

How are you feeling? Not ready. I haven't done much to prepare for DS2 and I'm starting to worry but to busy and tired to act.

Appointments/Updates? Regular OB appt today.

Rants/Raves: I'm so over being pregnant. I'm ready for LO to get here happy and healthy and for my boys to love on each other! (give it a few months/years for them to understand lol)

GTKY: What number baby is this for you? How many children do you want and why? Baby #2 (pregnancy #3). I always wanted 4. DH wanted 1. After having one I'm sure we won't have 4. After getting pregnant so soon with #2 I'm not sure whether we'll go for #3. I'm over being pregnant for almost 2 consecutive years. If it does happen we'll wait at least a couple of years.

jjones59 · March 2014

Week/Fruit: 31 weeks/Pineapple

How are you feeling? Not so great the last two days, just having trouble getting motivated and sleeping. We shall see.....its Spring Break so luckily I can relax.

Appointments/Updates? I had a 30 week appointment last week (because of protein in my urine at 28 weeks), all looked good but I'm retaining tons of water, so I have to go back at 32 weeks (which was normal) to check on water retention and to see how I'm feeling.

Rants/Raves: My biggest rant right now is that I can't function and do day to day tasks, I'm uncomfy and irritated. I also feel like I'm stuffing myself into clothes but hate to go buy more winter clothes when it should be spring sometime this month. My biggest rave is that its spring break and I can semi-relax. I was able to sleep past 5 this morning (having to get up to pee doesn't count anymore) and I don't have anything real planned.

GTKY: What number baby is this for you? How many children do you want and why?

This is baby number 2 for us, we have a daughter. I have a feeling that this will be all do to room and finances but I'd love to have three. I'm not sure why I always like things in an even number but I also like the number 5.....if we do have a third it won't be a for a long, long time.

lv2011 · March 2014

Week/Fruit: 31/ pineapple

How are you feeling? Terrible. Between the 3 hemorrhoids that arrived this weekend, the acid reflux that kept me up all night, the spd that makes it impossible to move without seriously cringing, the nerve compression that is making me accidentally bruise myself on things for lack of proper feeling, the Braxton- Hicks that make me terrified of actual labor, and the weight gain that makes me want to weep, May 26th cannot come soon enough.

Appointments/Updates? Next bi-weekly on April7th- also first childbirth class at the hospital.

Rants/Raves: It's Monday. Everything is a rant right now.

GTKY: What number baby is this for you? How many children do you want and why? Pregnancy #3, but 2nd take-home baby (hopefully). I think we want to try for 1 more after this one. Not for any logical reason. It just feels right.

awknyc · March 2014

Week/Fruit: Week 34/Butternut Squash... I was just a squash 2 weeks ago, they need to pick a new vegetable

How are you feeling? Uncomfortable. I started getting these hangover type headaches the past couple days and I cannot get a good night's rest. Feeling tired all the time!

Appointments/Updates? Just had my 33 wk appt last Wednesday and my next one isn't until 36 weeks with an u/s! Finally get to see LO one last time before the real thing.

Rants/Raves: Rants: The rib pain is getting even more and more annoying, especially when I have to sit on a plane or in a car. Raves: We are closing on our first home today!! Fingers crossed things go smoothly.

GTKY: What number baby is this for you? How many children do you want and why? Baby 1! We are thinking maybe 3-4. The only way we'll have 4 is if the first 3 are all girls, but DH and I both have one sibling and it would be nice to have a big family.

crystalmir91385 · March 2014

Week/Fruit: 34/Butternut Squash

How are you feeling?Feeling pretty good overall. Aches and pains are starting to get a bit annoying. Also, part of my abdomen in numb/tender. Apparently it's normal, but I am NOT liking it one bit

Appointments/Updates? Tomorrow!

Rants/Raves: Rave: Baby shower this weekend! Rant: I have a bunch of crafty things that I want to do, but none of them seem to be getting done because I can't decide where to start or stay focused once I do start.

GTKY: What number baby is this for you? How many children do you want and why? This is #1. I keep joking with DH that I am one and done. But in all reality probably 3. No real reason, it just seems like a good number.

motoLyn · March 2014

Week/Fruit: 34 weeks, Butternut Squash (want soup now)

How are you feeling? I feel like my belly is holding a solid butterball turkey in there. Its so heavy and rock hard some times. At least the hip, leg joint pain has subsided, but now the hard ache in my right side just under my ribs has made a raging come back. Boo!

Appointments/Updates? My next appt is next week with my MW for a 35 week check up. I wonder if I have to come in at 36 weeks or just 37 weeks and every week there after. I'm wondering if the LO is head down or side ways or where he's facing. Probably won't know till way later. But he's an active fella, have to say I love feeling him turn or the "swish" feeling. Not so much the jabs and kicks.

Rants/Raves: Rants: That I'm full on waddling to and fro. That my coworkers are now annoying me when they say how big the baby is based on how big my belly is. Ummmm no.

Raves: Nursery is almost done! We just need some bedding, I'm buying that with my next paycheck and the glider that my older sister is giving to us. DH is a rock star for assembling the last of the furniture on Friday night and installing the car seat in my car yesterday. Things are getting real YO!

GTKY: What number baby is this for you? How many children do you want and why? This is our first child. DH and I would like two kids, though life may or may not accommodate that. We want our first child to have a sibling but not sure we could handle 3 kids. For all I know the next pregnancy may bring us twins. Which a highly likely scenario since it runs in both our families.

Alexinav · March 2014

Week/Fruit: 32, squash

How are you feeling? Can't really complain. I'm alive and well and love ones are alive and well. Baby is moving and letting me know she's good:)

Appointments/Updates? On apt on Friday. Last I heard baby was still high up and not head down yet. Doubt she has moved down because I still feel her in her normal spot.

Rants/Raves: can't make up my mind on when to go on leave. Due May 19th. Some days I say May 1st some days I say May 12th and some day I say till I go into labor.

GTKY: What number baby is this for you? How many children do you want and why? This is #2 for me and the hubby. We are not sure if we'd like another one after this one or not. This will make one of each and that seems like a perfect time to stop but having one more sometimes seems nice too. But if we do decide to have one more it won't be until this one is five or older no having two kids under five for this mama!

yvanehtnioj · March 2014

Week/Fruit: 31/pineapple

How are you feeling? Very tired. I have a weird feeling in my throat, like I am going to get sick.

Appointments/Updates? Had my GD class & hospital tour last Thursday. So as of Friday I've been on the GD train: measuring, poking, & praying. I have my 32 week appointment, an ultrasound to check on the placenta previa, and a nutritional appointment this Thursday. Whew! Very excited to see my little guy, but afraid of being told I have to go on diabetes meds.

Rants/Raves:

: My best friend is flying in Thursday night for the shower! I am taking Friday off so we can just hang out all day. I'm so freaking excited about that. My other best friend will be our house Fri - Sun.

: I am having a hard time controlling my blood sugar. Most numbers are good but then I'll get a very high reading seemingly out of nowhere, and my fasting is not going down when I follow their advice. It could just be that I'm still learning but I don't know how much of a learning curve they'll allow before putting me on meds.

( : I also went to find a baby shower dress yesterday. I haven't been shopping since my bump was that cute maternity model size. Now I am huge & I had to get L or XL everything. Prepregnancy size my ass! Also my giant boobs made things fit weird. So I left empty handed. I'll try again on Friday. If not, my dream of wearing an adorable dress to my shower is shattered forever.

GTKY: What number baby is this for you? How many children do you want and why? First baby. We sort of planned on stopping at this one, but we'll see. If we do have another, I want to space them out at least 3 years, preferably 4-5. Everyone I know with two young ones seems so stressed and busy. Like I know they love their kids and receive tons of joy from their family, but the day to day living just seems really hard with two so close in age. I'm sure it gets better as they get older, but I really don't even want to go through that first stage.

momthatlifts · March 2014

I'm on my iPad so it won't space..... 31/pineapple ---Have my OB appointment on Thursday! ---my dog has really been annoying me lately. He seems way to entitled to things around here and it's getting on my nerves ---this is baby one for us. I wanted 3 but ever since I got pregnant we really think 2 would suffice for now. Maybe in the late future we will try for a 3rd but financially and realistically we see ourselves with 2

sisterjanet · March 2014

Week/Fruit: 33/durian

How are you feeling? I'm feeling good about deciding to get Ben & Jerry's when I went grocery shopping earlier today. I hope I continue to feel good about that decision instead of feeling ill.

Appointments/Updates? This Friday is my next appointment. I seriously need to get that damn tdap shot before the appointment.

Rants/Raves:

rant: What the hell was up with the board being all up in arms about which moms do the most work or have the roughest time?

rave: I dread setting out on a grocery expedition in case Benjamin freaks out, but he always does so well when we actually go. I feel like a genius for thinking to bring a peanut butter sandwich along since I didn't manage to get going until it was almost lunch time, so he could have lunch while we were shopping instead of getting mad at my poor planning.

GTKY: What number baby is this for you? How many children do you want and why?

This is my second. When we had zero, I wanted four based on nothing. DH keeps saying he'd be fine sticking with two. I just like the dynamic of his family, and he's one of five.

Kaylee524 · March 2014

Week/Fruit: 34 weeks/butternut squash

How are you feeling?: Itchy. These stretch marks are not fun. I need to start using lotion more regularly. Other than that, not too bad.

Appointments/Updates?: My 34-week appt was today, and the NP who saw me said my pregnancy was "textbook," so everything must be going pretty well.

Rants/Raves: Rant: Why is my house not cleaning itself??? I feel like there's so much to do still before LO gets here, but I'm just too damn tired. Rave: My church threw me a shower this Sunday, and it was Doctor Who themed. It was fantastic.

GTKY: What number baby is this for you? How many children do you want and why?: This is baby number 1 for us. We're both up for a big family (DH is one of 7), but we'll see what happens. It took a while to get pregnant this first time, so we're trying not to make any assumptions about future kids. Ideally, as long as I feel pretty good about my parenting ability once we have the first one or two, I'd probably say 4 or 5.

Kate070 · March 2014

Week/Fruit: 33, Durian (WTF?)

How are you feeling? I've had few reasons to complain throughout most of the pregnancy, but I get the feeling that it's all kind of downhill from here. I'm increasingly awkward and tired, and his head pressing into my cervix causes some serious pain sometimes.

Appointments/Updates? Had an appt. last week, and will have one next week. Nothing to report really. Everything's looking fine.

Rants/Raves: We move into our house this week! (Which given all the work involved is honestly both a rant and a rave :P )

GTKY: What number baby is this for you? How many children do you want and why? This is baby #1. I've always wanted 2, and DH agrees, though we've discussed the possibility of adopting more after having two of our own. We're both one of two kids, and feel like it's a nice number, and one that makes sense to us for a variety of reasons.

CamrynnsMommy · March 2014

Week/Fruit: 31 weeks/Pineapple

How are you feeling? I'm getting pretty uncomfortable, it's difficult to breathe, heartburn is all-day occurrence, kicks are painful.

Appointments/Updates? Appointment next Monday, just a routine appointment.

Rants/Raves: This will suffice as a rant and rave; my GD fasting numbers have been high, but all post-meal numbers are perfect, there was talk of putting me on Metformin, but my doc called today and said we won't need to do meds quite yet, if at all.

GTKY: What number baby is this for you? How many children do you want and why?
Baby number three for us. Only wanted two children, I have a weird thing about odd numbers.

theoryofwhat · March 2014

Week/Fruit:

34/Butternut Squash

How are you feeling?

Two words. Must. Sleep.

Appointments/Updates?

MFM on Wednesday. placenta still looks good.

Rants/Raves:

Rant: Eff you 3rd trimester. You've robbed me of sleep and have killed my back. You're a douche.

GTKY: What number baby is this for you? How many children do you want and why?

Number 1. Not sure how many we want, but I know I'm not ready to get pregnant any time soon.

JAM85 · March 2014

Week/Fruit: 32/some random kind of squash

How are you feeling? Well physically ok- normal spd crap but yoga is helping and it has finally gotten warm enough to use of gyms outdoor pool since I can't workout on dry land anymore. But we got some not great news from the doctor regarding a second xray for a dark spot on my DHs hip and now he has to go for an MRI. They said they are 90% confident it is a benign cyst but it freaked me out.

Appointments/Updates? My first BPP/NST on Thursday. Rotuine for me now twice a week due to being high risk, plus MFM every Monday and on every two weeks until 36 weeks. I am going to see if I can get the BPP dropped to once a week since all my conditions are maintaining so well so far.

Rants/Raves: just had our first official meeting with our doula at home and feel great about having her on board and the birth plan! Oh and baby shower this weekend!!!

GTKY: What number baby is this for you? How many children do you want and why? This is our first and we want two probably because we each were part of a two set and that way we won't be outnumbered
