MusicFanatic · October 2014

Week/Fruit: 29/acorn squash

How are you feeling? Decent

I'm having wicked heartburn lately, though. I've never had heartburn pre-pregnancy. This stuff hurts!

Appointments/Updates? Had my weekly u/s Monday and Zoe still growing like a champ. She's an estimated 2.11 pounds and measuring ahead. Liver/platelet blood work good. NST good.

Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? I didn't buy anything. I got 2 care packages from friends, though, and there were things in there for Zoe

Rants/Raves: I'm just happy to hit another week. I can't wait for next week- 30 weeks sounds so much better.

I'm really bummed I haven't been outside lately, though.

QOTW: What are your plans for Halloween? Are you dressing up? BTDT moms, what will your LOs be dressing up as? Kickin' it up big in the hospital

No plans.

Week/Fruit: 26/lettuce. Apparently this is bigger than cauliflower? I don't understand how TB assigns these fruits/vegetables...

How are you feeling? Mostly good. I've been a lot more tired recently. It's getting harder and harder to sleep soundly. I wake up 4-5 times throughout the night. Still too lazy to actually get up and pee, though. I'm also just super unmotivated to do anything productive, which is unfortunate for school.

Appointments/Updates? Next appointment is Monday!

Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Nope, but baby shower invites went out, and things have started disappearing from our registries! Eeee!!!

Rants/Raves: I hate stupid drivers. Also, I freaking adore my husband. He's the BEST.

QOTW: What are your plans for Halloween? Are you dressing up? BTDT moms, what will your LOs be dressing up as? No Halloween plans. My shower is actually November 1, so my parents are coming to stay with us on Halloween so that my mom can help set stuff up the next day. We may go check out the block party uptown and watch all the drunk people.

Also...99 days. WHAT????? How did we get here so quickly???

@MusicFanatic - I've never had heartburn either. I've been lucky enough to still not get it! However, I do burp a lot more often after meals, and sometimes bile comes up with them...blegh. Not okay. Or they just get caught in my chest, which is also uncomfortable.

@ladyamanuet - I hear you!! I feel like my bump finally looks like a bump, but it's getting way harder to get comfortable now. Sleeping is super hard, even with my snoogle pillow. There's just not enough room in the bed...but we have no money to buy a bigger one.

MusicFanatic · October 2014

@ladyamanuet- you should try a body pillow

Pregnancy pillow. Some people are mixed about them (they seem to help others and not help some at all) but I LOVE mine and it's really helped me get more comfortable at night. I'd be lost without it, especially in the past 2-3 weeks or so because I've exploded.

@literarymuse- yay for invites! That's exciting, makes everything seem like it's getting closer! Eeek!

That's a bummer. I honestly don't know what I would do if we didn't have a king size... but, J's 6'3" and, er, "full bodied" and Boo sleeps with us - so we need one even when I am not pregnant!

Have you looked at mattress stores? The first king sized mattress/box spring set I got, I got at a discount mattress store. It was the floor model and it cost me less than $300 for the set! I didn't have a fancy frame to put it on, but that didn't really matter to me at the time....

Yes, we went and looked a while ago, and the prices were pretty good. The main issue is just that DH is the only one making money right now, student loan payments will be starting soon (scary), hospital bills are already here (on payment plans, thank goodness), and we need to buy baby stuff, although we're waiting until after the shower to make purchases (unless something goes on super sale between now and then).

We've talked about it a lot, but we just feel like we can't spend money on that, especially since the mattress we have is a nice one. I'm hoping that after the baby comes, we'll be able to buy a new bed. We'll see!

@CrazyMonkeyBear Rutabaga:

I have no idea how this is bigger than cauliflower and lettuce. It's essentially a turnip. Turnips are not that big. At least, not the ones I usually see.

Also, sorry about the nausea and the new guy. That's no fun.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Week/Fruit: 29 weeks

How are you feeling? Okay. I'm still amazed at the automatic difference as soon as I hit 3rd tri. I actually feel pregnant now. I've been fighting a cold for several days, but it's on its way out.

Appointments/Updates? GTT and monthly appointment is tomorrow.

Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Does the daycare deposit count? Waaah

Otherwise, my shower is this Saturday so I will finally start buying things after seeing what we're gifted.

Rants/Raves: I'm super excited about my shower dress (I'll try and PIP below). Where my horizontal stripes ladies at?!

QOTW: What are your plans for Halloween? Are you dressing up? BTDT moms, what will your LOs be dressing up as? Not dressing up but we'll definitely hand out candy.

Beckyboo71 · October 2014

Week/Fruit: 27/rutabaga

How are you feeling? Very good

Appointments/Updates? Got my 3 hour glucose results back yesterday and they came back normal

YAY!!!

Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Just bought a onesie and booties online from Vera Bradley

Rants/Raves: At my doctor's appt yesterday, I found out that I have already gained 20 lbs since I found out I was pregnant! I started out 20 lbs heavier than I did with my first pregnancy, do I was already at a disadvantage. I just need to cut the carbs in half....that's the hard part!

QOTW: What are your plans for Halloween? Are you dressing up? BTDT moms, what will your LOs be dressing up as? My DH looks like Fred Flintstone, so I've always wanted to dress as Fred and Wilma. So we may do that this year...I'll just be a pregnant Wilma! DD will be dressing up as a Monster High character (don't ask me which one! I have no clue! LOL)

mellizzard · October 2014

Week/Fruit: 26/Lettuce

How are you feeling? Depends on the day. Today I feel pretty good.

Appointments/Updates? Next appointment is in 2 weeks.

Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Not sure if this is considered "for the baby," but DH purchased paint for the nursery today and is painting it (finally). I can't wait to get home to see the room. Other than that, we picked out LO's name and purchased him an emboridered knot beanie for the hopsital.

Rants/Raves: What a coincidence, it's boss's day and one of my boss's really got on my last nerve already and it wasn't even 10 AM yet... Breathe...

QOTW: What are your plans for Halloween? Are you dressing up? BTDT moms, what will your LOs be dressing up as? DH and I will probably go to a friends house and sit outside with them to help pass out candy. We most likely will not be dressing up - not big costume-y people. No LOs to dress up.

Aillise · October 2014

Week/Fruit: 27 weeks! Rutabaga? (She feels way bigger than that to me). 3rd tri? Can't believe baby will be here so soon.

How are you feeling? Emotional, and extremely tired I didn't work today the weather in MA was a rainy swamp. I napped 3 times? Lol

Appointments/Updates? Appt on October 24th. Sons school halloween party on the 25th. Baby shower the 26th, mine and DH's anniversary the 28th then halloween on the 31st.. busy week next week!

Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? I was given an unused bopping pillow, I bought a pink slip cover for, since the original slip cover was green. Got the stroller! Very excited about this but MIL won't let me open it until after the shower. Grrrr. And I keep buying little things like an outfit I can't pass by and baby girl tights, bibs ect.

Rants/Raves: rant and rave here: Had a meeting at my son's school yesterday apparently he is feeling a little worried about new baby. His teacher said mostly he seems to be worried about me ( awe breaks my heart). But also worried DH and I won't have time for him. Lastly he is worried he won't be sleeping much. I reassured him that his sleep will not be affected but mine certainly will.

Rant is: DS asked DH and I to play trouble with him. He never asks DH to play cause he always working, sleeping or trying to relax. So DH promised him and then decided he was going to my MIL house cause he was in a bad mood, and left DS hanging. Very upset about that. DS hugged me when he saw I was tearing up and said "It's ok if daddy is to busy to play with me".

It's not ok.

Another rant: I have increased BH and I dont know if it's her having the hiccups but she jumps and it hits my ribs and my pelvic floor it feels like, repeatedly. It isnt a pleasant feeling but not painful either.

Edited to add answer to QOTW:
Halloween themed baby shower. I'm dressing up a little, along with guests.
Halloween I will be dressing bump up to help DS (her big brotber) trick or treat.
