1) Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
May 16. 34 weeks. A cantaloupe, or a butternut squash. Or a large football.
2) Age at delivery? (optional)
40!
3) Any other children? Furbabies?
A 20 mo old daughter. She's enough, so no pets until kiddos are older!
4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week?
Very, very tired of being pregnant. Weird crick in my neck that won't go away. And insomnia that is making me borderline crazy!
5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
Appt this week, and happy that I've hit the week where if this bun decides to show up early, he's unlikely to have long-term health problems. Also happy this is the last week I can travel on a plane (she types as she flies from Wash, DC, to Dallas).

1- I'm almost 11 weeks!

2-I just turned the dreaded 40! Yikes!!!

3-I have my three beautiful girls and our furry boy Blake (a sliver lab)

4-I continue to be exhausted which is crazy different from my last three PG. The progesterone supplements I take orally make my stomach ache so it will be nice to get off those next week.

5-I have my NT ultrasound on the 24th and the first blood draw the 10th. Excited to see LO again! My DH took me to the Claremont Spa and Resort in the Berkeley Hills for my 40th last weekend. It was so nice to get away without the girls for a second! I went to college near there and have always wanted to stay there but never had the chance. So glad we went and the weather was so gorgeous with clear skies and beautiful views of the SF Bay! I highly recommend it!

QOTW- I couldn't live without black mascara and lip balm.

Have a great week ladies!!

2redtulips · April 2014

8/8, 22w4d, papaya

2) Age at delivery? (optional)

39

3) Any other children? Furbabies?

My dog, who keeps me smiling.

4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week?
I feel good. I really can't complain. I have been having some really bizarre dreams and a touch of insomnia - I guess those are new symptoms.

5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
I have a check-in next week.

A rant, maybe? It's totally weird to me when strangers ask about my pregnancy. It happened twice in stores yesterday with clerks - one practically yelled at me from across the room, "When are you due?!" She wasn't mean, it was just weird. I am feeling very much on display.

QOTW: What are two can't-live-without-them beauty products that you use?
Moisturizer and chapstick. I'd lose my mind without those two things.

@QOTR and @JilliansMoma: Happy belated birthdays, ladies!

MrsL2B · April 2014

1) Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
October 8, 14 weeks today, lemon!

2) Age at delivery? (optional)
37

3) Any other children? Furbabies?
Cat, dog

4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week?
I'm feeling good this week. I have more energy!

5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
I have an appt on Friday. I'm not exactly sure what this one will be for, but my husband will miss it since he's going to visit his mom for a week. I'm excited to have the house to myself for a while!

QOTW: I love Tarte's eyebrow mousse, as I have a kind of alopecia and have lost most of my brows at this point. Concealer is also essential right now for all this nasty pregnancy acne.

ProcessofBecoming · April 2014

1) Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby? My due date is 11/6. I am 10 weeks as of tomorrow. The baby is the size of a .... hmmm. A prune? I need to get the fruit ticker.

2) Age at delivery? (optional) 43

3) Any other children? Furbabies? One son, who is almost 25 months old

4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week? Crampy, a little tired (more from insomnia than anything else). Dry mouth and bloating are abating. Boob tenderness is still there, but better. Some RLP

5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?

I go in on Friday for the Verifi test, but I am going to pester my doctor for the MaterniT21. It seems to have a better track record than Verifi.

QOTW: What are two can't-live-without-them beauty products that you use?

Hmm. I have been switching all of my stuff to natural stuff due to being pregnant (some with not so great results). I really like my new Aubrey Organics Revitalizing Moisturizer and my Bella Terra mineral makeup. I used to use a lot of the Shea Terra line, but the oils were making me break out (and pregnancy didn't help with that either). I need suggestions for natural hair care products. I am waiting until my second trimester to have my highlights done (my roots are BAD), and my hair has been a wreck. The natural shampoo I have (Avalon) is sucky for my hair. Suggestions are appreciated!

MrsL2B · April 2014

@ProcessofBecoming I really like Phyto hair products, but they are pricey. Sometimes you can find them on amazon or ebay for a lot less than what they sell for at Ulta and Sephora.
