How many weeks? 28w!!! OK, officially 3rd tri, holy moly!!
How big is baby? Eggplant
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Trying to get as much protein in as possible. Been monitoring my sugar intake this week as I have my glucose testing tomorrow morning. I opted for the 2-hr test this pregnancy since my OB told me it's more definitive (fingers crossed!).
Appointment Update: Next Wednesday to check her growth to make sure it's up to par.
Any questions? Am I the only one that hasn't finished the nursery? I feel like i'm going with the motto of "she's not going to use it for months after she's born"... ugh I need to get my act together!!
GTKY- Since almost everything is in bloom , what's your favorite flower? They don't grow in my area, but I always love to pick one up when they're on sale at the store-ORCHIDS!
How many weeks? 28 weeks... this is starting to go fast!
How big is baby? eggplant
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? still no real food cravings but I'm downright obsessed with baseball this season.... my husband is convinced its a boy because of this...lol. Go jays!
Appointment Update: have my glucose test Monday... little late but its a pain trying to find a lab with extended hours so I usually just wait until my next free weekday off to make appointments.
Any questions? Not really, things are going well! NBR though, my poor little furry guy had to have a hematoma drained from his ear last night. I now have a 100 lbs dog with his head bandaged like an old school football helmet to look after today. I'm surprised it is still on, bit of a rough night, but he is being so good today tolerating all of this!
GTKY- Since almost everything is in bloom , what's your favorite flower? hydrangeas! So easy to grow and you get a lot of bang for your buck with the huge blooms. I already have to have one in a pot cause I bought more than I can fit in my yard.... my husband has cut me off....
@RedMar nope!! I've got nothing done. And when I say nothing, I mean NOTHING. Anything we've accumulated for the baby is sitting in a pile in the guest room. I did finally pick up paint for her dresser but have I painted it yet? Nope!
@RedMar we are moving August 27th. So even though I reaaallllllyy want to get the nursery done I can't! ! ugh it really is cutting it close but that was the earliest move in date.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? None really! I'm feeling pretty good (still throwing up but at this point I've just accepted it
Appointment Update: one with the endocrinologist on Wednesday to check how my sugars have been (amazing btw)
Any questions? My belly is definitely starting to get in the way of things. Anyone else?
GTKY- Since almost everything is in bloom , what's your favorite flower? I love flowers! Maybe the Lilac is my favorite in general but I love receiving lilies.
How big is baby? Acorn Squash, gallon of milk or GIZMO!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? give me lots of carbs please.
Appointment Update: Pasted my GD test, Got my Rhogam shot, next appt the 5th
Any questions?
GTKY- Since almost everything is in bloom , what's your favorite flower? I love big gerber daisies and some roses, not long stem super expensive roses but like cute little yellow roses
Me: 32 DH: 31
TTC #2 since January 2018
Baby #1 DD Born 8/25/2016 BFP: 8/11/18 Due: 4/26/18
@RedMar We haven't finished ours either. We have a couple pieces of furniture put together and the base color for the walls. That's it. DH's aunt will be painting the rest at the end of this month so were waiting on that to finish.
How big is baby? lettuce or according to ultrasound yesterday, 2lbs 10 oz
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Doing good - still enjoying the fried pickles though - OMG I'm obsessed, but thankfully most places don't serve them so i've been able to obstain....for the most part.
Appointment Update: Had ultrasound yesterday and baby is doing well, although breech. Next appt is 28wk one next Friday and then it starts the every two weeks appointment!
Any questions?@RedMar You are not alone - we have nothing done for the nursery yet, we don't even have a color picked out or anything....we do at least have the bedding so that's good (lol, no crib though). @Megan324 I definitely have had moments where I misjudged the size of belly, lol. I'm getting better at it now though. That being said I can't imagine it getting bigger than it is now and the fact that it will has me wondering how i'll be able to walk upright without falling over.
GTKY- Since almost everything is in bloom , what's your favorite flower? Lilacs. I love the fragrance they deliver and love May when, thanks to the festival, they seem to take over the city.
@LakeR2014 my mom keeps telling me (making fun of me) how big I'm going to get and I just don't want to believe her hahaha.
but last night I was getting out of bed and I like fell back down because my belly got in the way of how I normally get up. It was strange because up until this point I could kinda forget how big it is because it never got in the way.

@Megan324 I definitely LOLed at the bolded because i've totally done this already this pregnant. It doesn't help that my DH and I, although in our 30s, are apparently still college kids and don't have a bed frame. So our queen mattress/box spring rests on the floor. Anyway, I've now started just doing the spread eagle method, where my legs are nicely spread/braced and I can get up with the belly hanging in the middle.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? None to really report. I am hiccupping and gagging more again, but that has been happening throughout the pregnancy
Appointment Update: June 23rd
Any questions? None this is going pretty smoothly actually.
GTKY- Since almost everything is in bloom , what's your favorite flower? All of them . . . I like the flowering crap in my back yard and my lilacs. I like a bunch of flowers I don't know the names of too.
@LakeR2014 I'm also rocking the no bed frame game hahaha we have so much in common.
We have ours pushed against the wall and that's the side I sleep on so when I get up I kinda roll to the end of the bed and then get up lol now I think I'm going to make him switch with me
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? The annoying pelvic pain is still going strong, no matter what I do. I'd never had RLS but I do now and it's so irritating! Dealing with everything else and rhe GD. Finally had my GD appointment and got a waaay nicer, way more accurate meter and my numbers are looking great on it.
Appointment Update: Just had the GD appointment and my 28w appointment. Next one is in two weeks (my OB starts every two week appointments at 32w but I'm starting early because of the GD) to check my numbers. I didn't get the TDAP shot so I'll ask about it at the next appointment.
@Megan324 HA! That used to be how we had ours set up, but enough times of me waking up and crawling over DH to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and he was done. Bed is now firmly in the middle of the room where I can get up without waking him up.
@Soon2bemissG Good luck at your ultrasound! Enjoy seeing your LO.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Sadly, I am officially steering clear of super spicy foods...the heartburn is real now.
Appointment Update: Just finished my Hypnobirthing classes! 28 week appointment on the 22nd!
Any questions? Why isn't it the weekend?
GTKY- Since almost everything is in bloom , what's your favorite flower? Snapdragons...they were always so magical to me when I was little haha
Add me to the list of those who have done NOTHING with the nursery...we have a couple toys, outfits, and a pile of gift cards sitting on the floor in there, but it is still a guest room. We have family staying there July 8th and then we can start moving the bed out. My 2nd shower isn't until July 23rd, so we won't be buying anything until after that.
Also, add me to king size bed on the floor...a bed frame is the last purchase we need to make for the inside of the house and the one we are eyeing is a couple thousand...we can wait!
@redmar and everyone else it's nice to see I'm not the only one! However I won't be thinking of a nursery for a long time yet, the house renos have begun and baby will be joining us in our camper for a bit! Basically bought a tiny bassinet and have clothes and blankets put together and that's it, we'll spend time at my parents' as well.
How many weeks? 29 weeks
How big is baby? Pineapple, winter squash or a barbie car
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Been struggling a lot lately and am going to be talking to my Dr at the next appointment, so sick and tired of being sick and tired as well as in constant pain and I'm feeling like I've been the worst mother to my daughter for the last 7 months
Appointment Update: seeing McDreamy on the 28th
Any questions?
GTKY- Since almost everything is in bloom, what's your favorite flower? I was a florist for 6 years before having my daughter so picking my favorite flower is like asking me to pick a favorite child!
GTKY- Since almost everything is in bloom , what's your favorite flower? -i love all flowers!!! they are beautiful.
@LakeR2014@Megan324 - right there with yall, we have queen bed and boxspring, laying on the ground. I was rather pissed when i ordered this $1500 bed and found out a frame did not come with it. i was like are you kidding me?? i dont care if we have one, we were sleeping on an air mattress for 9 months so i didnt give a flip if i have a frame.
my nursery has a crib (no mattress), changing table (no pad), and glider in it. plus a closet full of clean clothes, this child has more then we do! The crib and changing table were the one my parents used for me when i came along so that is kind of neat to use for my baby. We need to put the crib together and get a mattress. and arrange the room. so i feel OK on that part.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? still craving fruit, and now peanut butter granola bars
Appointment Update: Had one yesterday to do glucose test, no results back though... accomplished nothing at the apt bc DH was working and I had LO with me who cried the entire time so we didn't even talk about the pregnancy, symptoms, progress, nothing. Just about how cute and clingy LO is
Any questions? Nope
GTKY- Since almost everything is in bloom , what's your favorite flower? Lillies have always been my fave, but I also have a green thumb so im really excited about my summer squash, peppers, and tomatoes getting big enough to pick and eat!
As far as the nursery goes, Im almost done, just need a night stand and mattress! Im def nesting bc I've started on the living room now... I know how much time at home is going to spent after LO2 arrives, especially in the living room, and I noticed how mismatched and cluttered with toys it has become. So I'm reapholstering my filthy ottoman, just got a new rug and throw pillows, and bins to organize LOs toys. Where is this energy coming from??
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Just leg cramps at night sometimes. Everything else is good.
Appointment Update: Yesterday was my group appointment and GD, found out I failed today. Been pretty upset all day. I'll hear from dietitian Monday and I have a follow up in three weeks with my midwife. I hate needles and I'm dreading the idea of pricking myself, I really hope it is not painful or that you see any blood...
Any questions? No, just figuring out the GD stuff. Nursery is very much a work in progress too.
GTKY- Since almost everything is in bloom , what's your favorite flower? Dahlias are my favorite.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I want ice cream NOW. other than that, I'm good Actually though I have been having lots of RLP lately, I had one bout the other morning where it took me a good 2 minutes to be able to stand up straight from sitting, ouch, it makes me cringe just thinking about it!
Appointment Update: July 1, GD testing that day too
Any questions? No questions. Random, today I went for an easy jog and then afterward put an ice pack on the front of my pelvis. It was GLORIOUS.
GTKY- Since almost everything is in bloom , what's your favorite flower? As far as things blooming outside, Lilacs are definitely my favorite. The aroma is just so beautiful to me, I could sit near a lilac patch all day! I'm hoping we can plant some at our new place when we move.
@pdxmamatobe I have GD too, I'm also scared of needles and it's not too bad. You definitely see blood though there really isn't a way around that. When more people get their results we are going to start a GD check in and that will be good for support!
How big is baby? Eggplant... but I think that is weird because an eggplant is long and weird-shaped.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I threw up last Saturday, which is weird. I haven't been
Appointment Update: I have a second ultrasound on Monday because baby's kidneys are measuring on the "upper limit of normal." I hope that everything turns out alright. If baby's kidney's are still too big, we will have to have to make an appointment with a pediatric radiologist. We'll see how it all turns out.
Any questions? I haven't had the GD test yet, and apparently I am late in taking it? Oh no! Also, I want a natural birth. How do I go about doing that in a practical way?
GTKY- Since almost everything is in bloom , what's your favorite flower? I love roses, but I can't keep them in the house because it makes me sneeze! Achoo!
How big is baby? Lettuce, a Fennec Fox, a Charlotte Royale Cake, a bunch of bananas, a camping lantern, head of cauliflower, etc.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I've been craving bananas- and I HATE bananas!!!
Appointment Update: 1 hour glucose test on Wednesday! (wish me luck!)
Any questions? Anyone else here go to babywearing group meetings? I'm so unsure of what carrier I'll want, but I know I want to wear my baby as much as I can when he's here. I found a local chapter and I'm planning to attend a meeting at the end of the month- just not sure what to expect.
GTKY- Since almost everything is in bloom , what's your favorite flower? Lily of the valley, lilacs and peonies.
@guitarra1614 I am a huge fan of hypnobirthing! I recommend reading up on any book that advocates a med-free birth (I assume that's what you meant by "natural"). Knowledge is power baby!!
I've been super absent lately because of some crazy times at work followed by a much-needed vacation! Now I'm back, on summer vacation, and ready to jump back in!
How many weeks? 28
How big is baby?Big...
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I just want to eat everything all the time...but I'm especially excited about meat and fruit
Appointment Update: I have one a week from tomorrow
Any questions?
GTKY- Since almost everything is in bloom , what's your favorite flower? Jasmine!!!!!! And it's all over our backyard and it makes me so happy
@SarahDarah333 - i love the idea of a baby-wearing meeting. i would so go with you. i have read up on a few, the Ktan definitely sounds like the one for me. I like the idea of the wrap thing (moby wrap, saukra bloom(sp?), etc) but i am so impatient and dont want to "fight" the thing, so the Ktan seems like a better option. more "idiot proof" instructions/way of getting baby in and on, plus it is a little more affordable. i registered for the Ktan and Ktan breeze, since the summers here can get super hot, at target.
@noelani42 welcome back, and i was wondering about the FB group also...
right. i was thinking that. i read it somewhere, randoms or something a while back. i wasnt sure if it was an active thing now, or started after September? lol
