What size is baby? Scooter board (love this), Armadillo
How are you feeling? Less stressed this week. DS is picking up on potty training like a champ (knock on wood) and I'm hoping he doesn't regress once LO arrives. Anyone have experience with this if it does happen?
Upcoming appointments? Had a routine one this week and won't see him again until the end of the month.
Rants/Raves/Questions: my fundal height is finally measuring "normal". I'm pretty sure it's due to her flipping around. Doc said her heartbeat was located low on my abdomen so here's to hoping she stays put down there!
GTKY: What do you think this LO will look like? If you have other children how will she/he differ from their appearance? I think she will look more like her father with darker features. I'm blonde hair/blue eyed and DS followed me with those genes. I think they'll have the same expressions and (hopefully) the same demeanor.
How are you feeling? back is hurting today but overall I have been sleeping better.
Upcoming appointments? Tuesday!
Rants/Raves/Questions: This weekend I plan to wash all of the blankets, newborn and 3 month cloths, etc and finish organizing the room. Also going to put together a list for my hospital bag.
GTKY: What do you think this LO will look like? If you have other children how will she/he differ from their appearance? I have dirty blond hair and green eyes, DH has very dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. Since his genes are more dominant I am guessing dark hair, dark eyes. I just hope she will be taller than me!
Me: 32 DH: 31
TTC #2 since January 2018
Baby #1 DD Born 8/25/2016 BFP: 8/11/18 Due: 4/26/18
It's getting old, but all I can feel is fatigue. Can't wait to go on maternity leave.
Upcoming appointments?
I have my 3 hour GTT in about an hour. Then I have my OB appt on Monday.
Rants/Raves/Questions:
It's getting harder to carry and chase after DS. I'm already feeling guilty.
GTKY: What do you think this LO will look like? If you have other children how will she/he differ from their appearance?
Based on 3D ultrasounds, DS2 will look like DS1. They both have DH's jaw line. Here is a comparison of their scans: ds2 on left, ds1 on right. Ds1's nose was smushed which is why it's upturned a little.
Upcoming appointments? Week off! Woo hoo! Go back the 26thvi believe.
Rants/Raves/Questions: nope
GTKY: What do you think this LO will look like? If you have other children how will she/he differ from their appearance? She's pretty much bound to be blonde and probably blue eyes or hazel eyes. We got a lot of that on both sides.
I really feel wonderful. I am just loving this part of pregnancy.
Upcoming appointments? Just had one, I have another in 2 weeks.
Rants/Raves/Questions: I am sooo excited about how great everything looked today at my appt. Blood pressure was low, sugars are low, urine sample was good. I am measuring at exactly 32 weeks. I havent had any issues with swelling. I really haven't been in that much pain. All and all I feel wonderful
GTKY: What do you think this LO will look like? If you have other children how will she/he differ from their appearance? Contrary to the pictures I have posted on here I am naturally light blonde with blue eyes and FI is dirty blond with green eyes so this baby is probably going to be blond with light eyes. I cannot wait to see him. I really hope he looks just like my fiance because I think he is so gorgeous. great bone structure. butttttt poor FI is kinda short so I hope Hunter gets some of my height (I am the shortest person in my whole extended family and I am 5'7)
How are you feeling? Overall, I feel like this has been a very easy pregnancy. I am super tired all of the time and eating is getting really weird because Baby kicks so much during it that it's uncomfortable.
Upcoming appointments? I have one on my birthday...July 21st!
Rants/Raves/Questions: I went on a 20 minute walk on my lunch break yesterday...pretty proud of myself haha
GTKY: What do you think this LO will look like? If you have other children how will she/he differ from their appearance? I have NO idea! I have red hair and blue eyes. Red hair tends to skip a generation (in my case, I got it from my great-grandmother though, so it skipped 2 generations). DH has brown hair and blue eyes, so I'm thinking the baby will have brown hair and blue eyes...

DH is short but SS is tall. Hoping my two get all the tall, or at least not short, genes.
How far along? 31 weeks - down to single digit weeks, how did this happen!?
What size is baby? It says asparagus bunch...i'm going to stop going by the bumps sizes, they keep seeming to make the size of the baby smaller than the week before!
How are you feeling? Doing good and having a little more energy today than yesterday. Baby has been quiet for the last few days, but is still moving so I'm trying to keep my neurotic brain from going nuts over that
Upcoming appointments? Appt on Wednesday - thank goodness!
Rants/Raves/Questions: My DH has been adorable the last week with his cozyness and setting a plan for getting everything ready and in place for baby. I've been loving it.
GTKY: What do you think this LO will look like? If you have other children how will she/he differ from their appearance? I think this LO will be bald and tiny...if either DH and I as babies have anything to say about it. I think as they grow they'll have light brown hair and unless they get some miraculous gene, unfortunately rather short. I hope they get my brains, my husbands drive, and both of our sense of 'we can do anything.'
How far along? 33 weeks !! Weird to think that she'll be full term in 4 weeks! Although, it will likely take her a few more to actually show up...
What size is baby? Celery - what a weird comparison. I agree with @LakeR2014 - it seems like she's getting smaller with the weird fruit and veggie choices.
How are you feeling? Better than I expected to feel in my 3rd trimester! I get tired, of course, but mostly been feeling great! Been doing a lot of walking searching for those Poke's.
Upcoming appointments? Monday we have our regular check-in.
Rants/Raves/Questions: We started our baby prep classes this last Wednesday (there will be 5 total), which I was really
excited about. During the first class, though, the instructor told us
that this series doesn't cover bathing or swaddling or any post delivery baby care stuff - which I assumed it
did - and that if we wanted to learn that stuff we would have to sign up for a whole other class (another $25-$35 or so). I thought that was lame.
GTKY: What do you think this LO will look like? If you have other children how will she/he differ from their appearance? I really have no idea. I am light brown/reddish hair and blue eyes and my husband is brown hair and brown eyes. We don't have any other children to compare to - but my little brother has two kids who look JUST like him (he's got even more reddish tint to his hair and both his kids are little redheads ) BUT my husband's brother also has two kids who look exactly like HIM, so I am not sure who has the most dominant genetics. She'll be pretty cute either way, I'm sure.
What size is baby? Scooter board, armadillo, squash, somewhere between 15-17 inches.
How are you feeling? Just so much pain everywhere! Did some yard work and my hips are killing me.
Upcoming appointments? 34w appointment in a couple weeks and then growth scan at 36!
Rants/Raves/Questions: It hit me hard that we're having a baby this morning. I already washed her clothes and organized her closet but we still haven't gotten the crib or dresser from my brother so the room isn't put together yet. So I was reading through this week's progress and it said she's going from taking long breaths to breathing like a newborn. At our elective ultrasound a couple of weeks ago, we saw her little chest practicing breathing like a newborn and IDK why, but this morning that just stood out to me.
GTKY: I know she'll have dark hair (DH and I both do). I hope she gets my nose and DH's hair but I don't really care, all I want is a healthy baby. The tech at the 3D scan said she looked like she had my lips, cheeks and nose but we'll see when she gets here. We also saw a ton of spiky hair!
How are you feeling? Good! Alhough annoyed that I get asked it every day at work by at least one person
Upcoming appointments? Meeting a pediatrician today and touring a daycare. Ultrasound next Friday! I'm excited and nervous. Fingers crossed the placenta has moved up so I can be cleared for a vaginal birth. I'm excited to get to see little Eliza again soon.
Rants/Raves/Questions: My supervisor told me she was planning a work baby shower for me which made me happy and excited!
GTKY: What do you think this LO will look like? I'm hoping she'll get my dad and DH's blue eyes and I'd guess she'd have light brown or blonde hair. I'm hoping she gets a little of her dad's height so that she's average height (I'm only 5'2'' and he's 6'2''). Only time I really minded being short was in sports.I can't wait to see the pictures of all our babies!
How are you feeling? Not terrible, I may die from heartburn one night though and I have had some issues with my blood pressure skyrocketing and then plummeting
Upcoming appointments? Headed to see McDreamy on Tuesday and have an ultrasound the 25th
GTKY: What do you think this LO will look like? If you have other children how will she/he differ from their appearance? I'm so excited to see if baby will look like it's older sister or totally different, our 3yo is blonde with hazel eyes and both hubby and I have dark brown hair and dark brown eyes but had light hair as young children. Hoping baby gets hubby's beautiful full lips like our daughter did!!
What size is baby? pineapple, celery @LacerX agreed with the celery... that seems waaaay to small. Pineapple seems way more accurate!
How are you feeling? Starting to get uncomfortably big. I feel stretched and can't seem to find a comfortable position to sleep or sit in for very long. Which is scary that I am already feeling this way with 5-6 weeks more to go. I didn't get this uncomfortable with my first until the last week or two
Upcoming appointments? Every monday till he's here from now on!
Rants/Raves/Questions: Its ok to eat ice cream for breakfast, right?
GTKY: What do you think this LO will look like? If you have other children how will she/he differ from their appearance? I have a feeling my boys are going to look a lot alike. We got a great pic of his profile at the last sono and I can already tell they have the same cute button nose Plus, ppl have told DH and I that we look alike, could even pass for siblings which is creepy... but that will def come into play with our children! And LO1 looks exactly like DH with my eyes and smile.
