How far along? 31 weeks (if this baby follows his/her older sister's lead, he/she will be here in about seven weeks!)

What size is baby? pineapple?

How are you feeling? Tired and sluggish. I've also reached getting out of breath while sitting still stage. That's fun.

Upcoming appointments? This afternoon. I'm assuming I'll get a quick u/s to see baby's position. Please flip, baby.

Rants/Raves/Questions:

GTKY: Are there any specific activities/sports that you participated in as a child that you want to continue with your kid(s)? Girl scouts! Definitely want to get my daughter into that when she's old enough.

AmMcc12 · July 2016

How far along? 29 weeks

What size is baby? Acorn squash or Hawaiian pineapple

How are you feeling? Tired and missing my deep sleep

Upcoming appointments? Next Thursday

Rants/Raves/Questions: My doctor hasn't called but I get the results of lab work in an app and it looks like I passed GD and am slightly anemic. At my appointment on Friday the belly was measuring 3 weeks ahead. Hopefully baby boy was just going through a growth spurt.

In in other news: I leave after work today for a 6 hour drive to my parents house for my shower this weekend. I'm so excited to see everyone!!!

GTKY: Are there any specific activities/sports that you participated in as a child that you want to continue with your kid(s)? 4-H! Both my husband and I participated it is actually how we met. It's such a great program with so many values and we both learned a lot from it that made us who we are today. Let them test out different sports when little so they can choose what they want to do if any when they get bigger.

How far along? 30 weeks

What size is baby? A motorcycle helmet? that really can't be...

How are you feeling? Alright....carpal tunnel seems to be calming down (wearing braces at night)

Upcoming appointments? Next Thurs check up

Rants/Raves/Questions: Feeling so huge and awful this week....I had already gained like 20-25 lbs before the pregnancy and now a 30 lb weight gain on top of that. To make matters worse my husband heard my weight when we went in to the hand doctor and he was alarmed/concerned...makes me feel like crawling into a hole for the rest of the pregnancy. Kind of took most of the joy out of everything realizing how far I've let myself go.

GTKY: Are there any specific activities/sports that you participated in as a child that you want to continue with your kid(s)? Swimming for sure, plus I want her to learn the things young I didn't learn as a kid...like skiiing, tennis, etc.

How far along? 32 weeks! Crazy that I will be 37 weeks in just 5 more weeks eek!

What size is baby? A squash?? This kid feels like he has to be over 4 lbs already, it's getting hard for me to move around...

How are you feeling? Alright...just some aches and muscle pains in my belly. Up to pee like every 2 seconds at night it seems!

Upcoming appointments? Monday and then it'll be every week after that starting in August. I have an ultrasound the first week of Aug to check baby's growth since my hypothyroidism can cause baby to be big.

Rants/Raves/Questions: @jbscmama I am feeling huge too. I gained about 45 lbs with DS1 and lost it all plus an additional 20 lbs with weight watchers because I figured I would gain that much again during my next pregnancy. I've already gained 40 lbs at 32 weeks. My doctor isn't concerned at all but it does suck. I don't eat a ton of calories and am active with my almost 3 year old. I really just eat like a normal person when I'm pregnant which causes me to gain like crazy because my metabolism sucks and when I'm not pregnant I have to eat a really calorie restricted diet to maintain my weight. I can't wait for this pregnancy to be over and for a couple months to pass to make sure my milk supply is ok...At that point, I'll be starting weight watchers again!

I was not sporty at all but my son LOVES all sports. He especially loves golf which is really cute because DH loves to play too. We have been taking him mini golfing this summer which he absolutely loves! DH got him his first set of real clubs and can't wait to give them to him for his bday.

katiey23 · July 2016

How far along? 32 weeks

What size is baby? Naked-tailed armadillo or plastic scooter board (I think that's a weird one, but DH is an elementary school teacher and said it made sense to him!)

How are you feeling? Good! I feel like she has days where she's super sleepy and then days where she's off the chain moving around, like the last 2 days- I love it!

Upcoming appointments? Just had our monthly growth ultrasound and OB appointment. She was goof and refused to show us her face so we didn't get any fun pictures, but measure right on target across the board! They think she's 4lb 12 oz...if she keeps it up would be around 8lb for delivery- perfect!

Rants/Raves/Questions: Nothing major! I'm planning a road trip to NJ from DC in a couple of weeks... I'll call the OB and get their okay...but does anyone think traveling @ 34 weeks would be a problem?

GTKY: Are there any specific activities/sports that you participated in as a child that you want to continue with your kid(s)? Field Hockey and swimming would be great!

AmMcc12 · July 2016

I plan on responding ladies but it's gonna have to be tomorrow since I'm driving today

jbscmama · July 2016

@katiey23 I think I would be too nervous to travel at 34 weeks...I think my OB said to stay within an hour of the hospital from 35 weeks on....but I would talk to your doc and see what they say. Plus I have no clue how far that is!!

AmMcc12 · July 2016

@PSUBecky23 Yay!! I saw in your post in the randoms thread that baby flipped!!!

@jbscmama I hate when people comment on my weight other than the doctor. We are growing little humans we are allowed to gain weight!

@sunshinern96 have there been concerns with you hypothyroid this pregnancy? I am also hypo and am wondering if I will get a growth scan

@katiey23 I would defiantly check with your OB, but if you have been having a normal pregnancy with no concerns it might be ok

sunshinern96 · July 2016

@AmMcc12 no, my thyroid has been under control during the pregnancy but at my 18 week ultrasound, the doctor recommended following up at 34-35 weeks to make sure the baby isn't really big. He said even when your tsh and t3/t4 are normal during pregnancy, the baby can still be big. I had a sulcus tear (google it if you dare ha!!) with DS1 who was 8 lbs that took about 8 weeks to heal. I was in a ton of pain for weeks on end and it was awful. I didn't even have hypo with him, I developed it after he was born. So I think my doctors want to just make sure this isn't gonna be a 9 lb baby who will completely destroy me on the way out again haha...My placenta is a little weird too and the baby has a couple of those choroid plexus cysts so I think they want to take a look at a couple other things as well.

ETA: Baby was only measuring like 30th or 40th percentile during the 18 week scan, so it's not like he was already looking huge or anything! My belly is also measuring right on track, like I did with DS1. I would just ask your OB about if it's necessary to do a growth scan--from what I have read, some OBs like to do them for hypo patients and some say it's not necessary unless you are measuring big!

AmMcc12 · July 2016

I'll have to do that at my next appointment. They haven't brought it up at previous appointments

drmh22 · July 2016

How far along? 30 weeks

What size is baby? Zuchinni

How are you feeling? Nauseous the last couple of days, but overall pretty good.

Upcoming appointments? Had one yesterday. They are every 2 weeks now!

Rants/Raves/Questions: why do my maternity clothes not fit?! I don't have much that fits and don't want to spend more. That's my whine for the day.

GTKY: Are there any specific activities/sports that you participated in as a child that you want to continue with your kid(s)?
I would love for one or both of my girls to play volleyball, DH wants wrestlers. I really just want my kids to be active. They can do what they want but must lead an active lifestyle.
