Re: ^^^Thursday Ticker Change^^^
How are you feeling? My head has hurt a bunch this week, which is frustrating. My BP has been a teeny high so that's probably why. Otherwise, not too shabby.
Appointments/Updates? Weekly u/s showed Zoe is around 3lbs 3oz and growing like crazy. Blood work and NTS was good. No real contractions.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Not this week. I need to get a diaper bag.. it's one of the last things I need. I'm looking at baby carriers, too. Maybe this week.
Rants/Raves: I'm 30 freaking weeks, man. 30 weeks. I remember when I was 23 weeks and change- wondering if we would make it another week to viability. Take that pre-e!!!!
QOTW: What is something you'd like to tell your pre-pregnancy self? My mind can't think about this right now, I'm tired lol. Oh, maybe that. I would tell my pre-pregnancy self to sleep more? Because it ends.

Week/Fruit: 28/eggplant
How are you feeling? Awesome & excited!
Appointments/Updates? Had my monthly u/s on Tuesday & doc said everything looked good! Whew! And, we got another cute pic of our little girl
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? No, but I checked my registry and someone bought our crib bedding. I wanted to buy our crib because they had the floor model on clearance at BRU, but maybe we will just wait till after the shower in a couple weeks (it was $40 off...so it was good, but wasn't a HUGE discount)
Rants/Raves: Excited for my shower coming up on 11/9...and just happy that this LO is really active to keep my mind at ease that she's doing good in there (especially since I had a m/c 8 months prior to this pregnancy)
QOTW: What is something you'd like to tell your pre-pregnancy self? Well, something that I already tried to tell myself....lose weight! But, I started this pregnancy 20 lbs heavier than my pregnancy with DD
Week/Fruit: 27/Rutabaga (Happy 3rd Tri to all my fellow Jan 22 peeps!)
How are you feeling? This lower back pain is killer, but oddly enough, I've been getting great sleep this week!
Appointments/Updates? Glucose testing on Tuesday.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Yes! We bought his crib + dresser + mattress + changing pad!! I was afraid we wouldn't be able to get the crib I liked, but it came back in stock and Babies R Us was having a great promo, so we just couldn't pass it up.
Rants/Raves: The awkward stares I get from everyone... It's like they've never seen a pregnant woman before.
QOTW: What is something you'd like to tell your pre-pregnancy self? I'm 100% with @ladyamanuet! I knew maternity leave would be mostly unpaid and babies cost a lot of money, but it would've been nice to start saving more sooner.

How are you feeling? Mostly good, although tired many times. Also super hormonal. Had one cry session over money on Monday and another out of anger at my car on Tuesday. I'll be glad to be done with that someday.
Appointments/Updates? I had one on Monday. It mostly went well, although my midwife wants me to cut down on grains to slow down my weight gain. She also told me that I have a marginal placenta, and they're worried that it could turn into placenta previa. This is what sparked the cry session over money. Our insurance is only covering 1/3 of the cost of ultrasounds, so I'm pretty upset to have to have another one to check the placenta. I'm also pretty upset about the potential of developing placenta previa. I really want a natural, vaginal birth, so to have to get a c-section is pretty much the complete opposite of what I was hoping for. I think all the women who have gotten c-sections already or are going to are incredibly brave. The notion scares me to death. I really don't want that...
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? My aunt and uncle sent us the rock 'n play we registered for! We set it up last week. It's crazy cute, and we're really glad to have at least a place for the baby to sleep.
Rants/Raves: So tired of stupid drivers. I mean really. Drive the speed limit at least or get out of the way. Also, I'm so sick of school. I have no motivation to do any school work at all.
QOTW: What is something you'd like to tell your pre-pregnancy self? Start saving money immediately instead of waiting until just a couple of months ago. That would have been smart. Oh well. Next time around.
Week/Fruit: 28 Weeks/Eggplant
How are you feeling? Irregular ( sorry tmi) Crampy because of it. Tired, I no longer sleep past 4 am EVER. Starting to get nervous about labor. Something I have put in the back of my mind until recently.
Appointments/Updates? Appt with OB tomorrow. I have luckily avoided my GTT test thus far. I switched OB's after last months appt. Wondering if it will be sprung on me tomorrow or if they will let me wait til the following appt?
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Not this week, Ive bought so much already. And my shower is this Sunday so I am going to wait and see what still needs to be purchased after that.
Rants/Raves: My son is turning in to a little gentleman. When we were out yesterday I had on flip flops, it was rainy and cold. He asked if I was freezing and I said "Yes aren't you?" and he said no. I told him well, I have naked toes. And he said "That's why you have to buy shoes mom, I can admit they are important". And then he tried to find a way to cover my toes and kept asking if I was ok. Awwwwww.
Rant: DH works too much, he worked all weekend last week, 3 times after work this week and again this coming Saturday. Thankfully he wont be working Sunday.
QOTW: What is something you would like to tell your pre-pregnancy self?
This dawned on me last night, through all my happy pregnancy... You are going to have to push her out, or did you forget? lol. All the talk about water breaking and going to the hospital has me remembering the first time ( which didn't go bad at all) But I always said the next time I wont be so lucky. Hoping and praying it does.
How are you feeling? Frustrated/Annoyed. I just started bed rest and I don't know how you have been doing it @MusicFanatic and to the other ladies on Bedrest I now totally understand. I am trying to keep my spirits up but it is hard. It was extremely difficult for me to just stop working one day.
Appointments/Updates? Well hospital last week for a couple of days and now bedrest. Also they moved up my C-Section date to 37 weeks and that now puts me at Dec. 18th. I am going to the doctors once per week each doctor (OBGYN and Maternal Fetal). Getting close to Pre-Eclampsia unfortunately so trying to just relax.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? On line shopping :-) I bought a changing pad cover, a pacifier clip and a wet bag yesterday. My shower was about 1.5 weeks ago so I need to work on the items we did not get. I am still team green so am low on clothing also but waiting until birth for that.
Rants/Raves:I need to figure out how to post photos in here so I can share some shower/nursery photos..I know random but I want to figure that out. I also feel like you Thursday girls are my birth buddies. I know it sounds funny. I thought maybe we could pair up with some from the same dates because our Thursday group has been pretty consistent for several weeks :-).
QOTW: What is something you'd like to tell your pre-pregnancy self? Stop stressing! :-) Enjoy your pregnancy and don't sweat the small stuff.
Feeling: I'm feeling pretty good physically! He's moving around a lot, which I love to feel. I do feel as if I'm going to pass out sometimes, happens about 3 times a week. Asked the Dr and I guess it's pretty normal.
Appts/Updates: We're still waiting on our 3rd level II US in nov to check out his extra fluid in one of his lateral ventricles. I took a blood test to rule out viral infections and we're just waiting and praying that it's gone down. If not, we'll just have to take it from there.
Bought: We bought the crib! And a rug for the nursery. We also picked a dresser and glider that we haven't gotten yet but we're getting there! Slowly...
Rants/Raves: We're headed to the mountains tomorrow for a getaway, just me and DH, and I'm so excited about that. I can't stop thinking about all of the potential things that could go wrong with little man and it's overwhelming me, so this trip should be somewhat calming.
Advice to myself: I would tell myself to calm down!!
Week/Fruit: 30 weeks/cucumber
How are you feeling? Great! My back could feel better but i feel fantastic
Appointments/Updates? In 2 weeks I have an appointment with midwife .
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? My DH loves Jordan's and nike shoes and bought our little princess a pair of each.
Rants/Raves:I hate when people tell me I'm too skinny and need to eat! I eat!! Why on earth would I starve myself!
What is something you'd like to tell your pre-pregnancy self? Enjoy these last few weeks with little princess inside me... I'm gonna miss the movements !!
;;)
@JoaPata - ugh, so sorry to hear about your bedrest. It sucks, no lie. Is your BP high? Protein in urine? What's goin' on?
How are you feeling? Still pretty nauseous and exhausted! My body is really starting to feel the effects
Appointments/Updates? Went on Tuesday. Ive only gained 15 lbs and baby's heartbeat is 140 and measurements are looking good. SO MUCH MOVEMENT!!!
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? My momma and baby sister bought a really sweet knitted newborn hat
Rants/Raves: I wish baby girl would get out of my ribs! She's constantly on the right side of my ribs moving and squirming all day! She thinks she is a ninja!
QOTW: What is something you'd like to tell your pre-pregnancy self? You are never prepared for whats about to happen to your body for the first time and its definitely a indescribable experience. things go by so fast and things change so rapidly.
