Update on any recent appointments. I got my TDAP shot yesterday and my left arm hurts to lay on it. They just started me on appointments every 2 weeks and I have one coming up mid-week.
Favorite thing about being pregnant? I think it's funny that the baby hangs out only in one side of the belly, so it's obviously lopsided. It's also fun to track the moves and punches as he makes his way around. I try to grab DH so he can see my belly move.
Favorite drink (alcoholic or non)? Going to get a craft beer after kid's born! Also, nothing relaxes me like having a diet coke, but I try to not keep that around.
1. 32 weeks! Woohoo! I've never made it this far without going into pre-term labour
2. Team Pink. I can't wait to have another little girl.
3. Saw my regular doctor yesterday and it went really well. My fluid level is looking really good and so is my cerclage/cervix. Baby's kidneys are blocked, but it's pretty minor. We will just monitor them every 2 weeks to make sure it doesn't get worse and probably a follow-up ultrasound on baby when she is 6ish weeks.
4. My favourite thing about being pregnant is the little cute round 2nd tri belly, baby kicks, and imagining what the future holds for baby.
5. My favourite drink is probably a Canadian Cooler Tropikiwi. Super classy, I know, but it's seriously delicious. Esepcially when paired with a sunny weekend spent camping.
2. Team Blue!
3. Ultrasound on the 3rd, then starting 2x/week visits on the 6th. That will be interesting when school starts again at the end of Juky!
4. Loving those baby kicks!
5. Non alcoholic drink: Coke or Dr. Pepper, alchoholic drink: margarita or Angry Orchard hard cider
35 weeks on Sunday. Baby Coconut!
Team Pink! So excited to have a daughter.
I had my 34 week appointment on Wednesday and all was well. I have another one on the 7th for my strep b test and a cervical check
I'm really enjoying all the pregnancy perks. People are really nice to pregnant ladies! I looooove baby kicks too. They're the sweetest thing.
I'm a wimp, but I like Mike's Hard Lemonade. If I'm at a bar, I'll typically order an Amaretto Sour. But for now, I'm slurping down the Shirley Temples
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink!!!
Update on any recent appointments.
All is well. Baby had been head down for several weeks now. Growth ultrasound scheduled for July 6. She is measuring big.
Favorite thing about being pregnant?
Uggggg.... I haven't enjoyed anything expect hearing her heartbeat, seeing her, and feeling her.
Favorite drink (alcoholic or non)
Diet dr pepper and frozen strawberry margarita from a certain Mexican restaurant
@carleyec93 This is it. And it's amazing. If you ever see it, you have to try it.
How many weeks/What fruit or vegetable?
34 tomorrow - butternut squash
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink!

Just routine - bp, pee, belly measure and heartbeat check. All normal! Guess I'll start the every week apts after the next one and the group b test around then too. She's measuring right on track and is head down now so that's nice,
Favorite thing about being pregnant?
Maternity clothes. So comfy!
Favorite drink (alcoholic or non)?
Cool, crisp white wine. Especially in summer.
31 weeks today with a giant Pineapple
2. Team Pink/Blue/Green?
Team Pink! My DH and I are so excited for our baby Olivia
3. Update on any recent appointments.
Last week was just a regular check up, my OB told me that I couldn't be having a better pregnancy, no complications or concerns, I thank God for that.
4. Favorite thing about being pregnant?
I love feeling how active she is, it's like clockwork.
Favorite drink (alcoholic or non)?
Non- would have to be Sweet Ice Tea, especially a large from McDonalds, I typically don't like McDonalds, but I will drive thru for that.
Alcoholic- that I'm not even missing would have to be a local bar cocktail called
"The Patriot" it taste like a Blue Raspberry Otter Pop
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team Blue!
Update on any recent appointments. Just a regular 2 week checkup on the 3rd.
Favorite thing about being pregnant? Sharing this bond with this little guy. It is something that I will never be able to put into words, and its something that I will forever cherish
Favorite drink (alcoholic or non)? Water 24/7 and Arnold Palmer's for daysssss.
33 tomorrow, durian. What's a durian??
Team Pink/Blue/Green?

We tried having a 3D scan the other day but baby kept turning her head away, so we didn't get anything. Also baby is breech.
Favorite thing about being pregnant?
That I'm finally getting a child (unsuccessful previously)

Had one yesterday, it was my first of my appointments that are every 2 weeks. Not much to report- blood pressure and everything else were fine.

I just mentioned the Blackberry Sprite to DH and how good that sounded...looks like I don't have to make dinner tonight

Went to the high risk doctor today, everything looked good, and we talked more about when I'm going to be induced, but need to talk to the regular ob at my appointment on Monday. I also start my weekly appointments and biweekly NST'S Monday.
Favorite thing about being pregnant?
Feeling her move.
Favorite drink (alcoholic or non)?
Non alcoholic, probably sweet tea! Alcoholic, peach bellini!
Team Pink and couldn't be happier! She's our first and I'm falling in love with all these adorable baby clothes. I can't wait to dress her up !
Update on appts; we had a preterm labor "scare" before we left Hawaii and really I think it was nothing. Doctor digitally checked me and said I was more effaced/shortened and sent me to triage. The check aggravated things and I started contracting.. I was flying out the next day so that was the last thing I needed. But all is well! Now that we're all settled in Germany, I met with a couple providers and I'm happy to say that we decided with a Nurse Midwife. She's so easy to talk to, came very highly recommended and has three babies herself, which is reassuring. She'll know exactly what I mean when I'm telling her how things feel.
Favorite thing about being pregnant? I also love how nice people are to pregnant women. I'm definitely nesting and enjoying this calm before the storm getting her room all situated and decorated with cutesy things.
Favorite drink (alcoholic or non)? Here in Germany people drink Weine Schorle.. Which is like a wine spritzer.. Well I've been drinking Apfel Schorle!! Just Apple juice and sparkling water but it's so delicious, I'm addicted.
Only six more weeks! Gahh
--31 weeks as of yesterday. Pineapple!

--I have sonograms every 4 weeks to check on LO's brain ventricles because of earlier complications, so far everything is just within the normal range! My next sono is scheduled for July 6th, I'm hoping everything stays normal and I really look forward to seeing my little guy.
Favorite thing about being pregnant?
--Feeling my little guy move! It's amazing how small he is right now and how strong his little jabs are.
Favorite drink (alcoholic or non)?
I will be 35 weeks tomorrow/ coconut!

We saw our sweet girl on Friday! The u/s picture wasn't that great since she's so squished in there! The u/s tech said all of her measurements are great, she's weighing about 5lb, 12 oz. (seems huge to me!) and in the 53rd percentile!
Favorite thing about being pregnant?
I love feeling all of her little kicks, except, they're not so little anymore!!
Favorite drink (alcoholic or non)?
Non- currently, diet vanilla root beer! If I'm craving something sweet I'll have one!
Alcoholic- whiskey sour or mojito! I can't wait to have one after BF is done! Perfect summer drinks!
35 today. Can't believe how time is flying now!
Team Pink/Blue/Green?
Blue.
Update on any recent appointments.
Nothing exciting. Next appointment is at 36 weeks.
Favorite thing about being pregnant?
I agree with @carleyec93 that people are just so sweet to pregnant ladies. While there are moments when I would rather not be fawned over, the positive energy people have toward pregnant women is pretty cool.
Favorite drink (alcoholic or non)?
Wine...or a Manhattan. At this point, I'd give anything for ANY sort of cocktail. Gosh it's a hard question.
I'm more on the excited side, but that's probably because I've never pushed a human out of my lady bits before
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue!
Update on any recent appointments. Last appointment i was still measuring small, baby's in 25th percentile and i hadn't gained any weight in 2 weeks. Next week is my group b strep test, FUN.
Favorite thing about being pregnant? Feeling him move and roll around, and all the positive attention i'm getting from my boyfriend, who's been just enamoured with me and this pregnancy- his first!
Favorite drink (alcoholic or non)? Craft beer all the way. Though I'm looking forward to some Guinness once baby's born... to help with milk production, of course >>
35 weeks/coconut (she feels slightly bigger though)
Team pink!
Went in for an emergency appointment last week - I have been struggling with flu-like symptoms for weeks and probably the worst cough I've ever had. I stopped feeling movement from baby, but after a quick ultrasound I felt so much relief that baby was completely fine and practicing her breathing. The coughing must have just been exhausting her. She's measuring a week smaller but nothing unusual!
My favorite thing about being pregnant has to be those sweet little random moments where I'll feel her hand or foot sweep across my belly. I'm definitely going to miss that feeling.
And lastly my favorite drink is coconut LaCroix with a little lemon squeezed in it. So yummy and helps with staying hydrated! Recently I've been struggling with drinking enough water on a daily basis.
How many weeks/What fruit or vegetable?
We are 32 weeks today and the size of a squash :-)
Team Pink/Blue/Green?
Team pink so excited for our little miss Sophia
Update on any recent appointments.
We go back on Tuesday. Two weeks ago we had a growth scan that should she is 44% so even though I'm measuring behind and haven't gained any weight she is doing just fine. Thank goodness.
Favorite thing about being pregnant?
Nothing lol. No I'm kidding I do like feeling her move and feeling like she is always with me and I talk to her all the time. Good thing I'm really showing or people may thing i need to be in a psychiatric hospital.
Favorite drink (alcoholic or non)?
Alcoholic: Margaritas are always my drug of choice. But I do love wine as well.
Non alcoholic: I love simply lemonade. DH and I should buy stock in that company. Also Diet Dr. Pepper.
33 yesterday , durian.

Update on any recent appointments.
Got the TDAP shot and had my birth plan making appointment.
Favorite thing about being pregnant?
That my husband and I are going to be parents! Today is our 2nd wedding anniversary but we have been together for 7 years!
Favorite drink (alcoholic or non)?
I really want a mango margarita like crazy for months now which is odd since tequila is not my fave at all! My favorite drink is probably chai tea!
