  • For babies due 9/6, 9/13, 9/20, 9/27

    How many weeks? 31

    What size? A coconut or a pineapple

    Upcoming appointments? Next week

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave - although I haven't been getting as much sleep as I'd like, for some reason my body doesn't seem to mind and I don't feel tired all the time.  I hope this lasts through the newborn stage.

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Lower back pain...I definitely did too much walking/sitting with my feet down this weekend vs. propped up and I'm feeling it for sure.  I had pretty bad swelling that thankfully has gone down.

    GTKY: If you could end any problem in the world, what would you choose and why? Abuse of children.  It makes me so sad that people could treat them so poorly when all I can do is love on my child and hug and kiss him as much as I can.  I feel so sad for those babies that don't get to experience that love.

  • For babies due 9/27

    How many weeks? 30!!

    What size? Zucchini, half of large cheesecake

    Upcoming appointments? Just had my 30 week appointment this morning. Nothing exciting, just routine stuff

    Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm really annoyed with Motherhood Maternity and myself. I had to buy a professional outfit for work today because an executive is coming to town and I need to be presentable for once. Anyway, 80 dollars for the pants and the top and they wouldn't honor my bump bucks because it had just expired. Granted, I should have used it before it expired but it's still a coupon that o had to spend money to get. Ugh.

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? cravings for pepperoni and cheese on crackers

    All of this crazy hatred and violence that is happening. Tired of seeing people shot and killed every other day. 
  • For babies due 9/6, 9/13, 9/20, 9/27

    How many weeks? 33!

    What size? Celery, ferret (aww!), cauliflower, junior tennis racquet. Baby has been measuring a little big, so maybe a bit larger but we won't know until he arrives!

    Upcoming appointments? Appointment this afternoon, then 2 weeks from now I start weekly appointments. What the what?!

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Nada, feeling really good. Rave - leg cramps/restless legs seem to have mostly ended, possibly because I've been taking an iron supplement

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Nothing

    GTKY: If you could end any problem in the world, what would you choose and why? (Sorry if that's too deep...it's what I had my students write this morning and I can't think of anything else! LOL) Ridding the world of mental illness (depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, etc).  Although these aren't the only reasons, I'd love to see something that would decrease the suicide rate.

  • How many weeks? 32 weeks!

    What size? A naked-tailed armadillo.

    Upcoming appointments? Routine appt on Thursday. 

    Rants/Raves/Questions? None.

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Started craving pb&j sandwiches. Wish I could indulge in them more, but they don't fill me up nearly enough to justify the carb content. Usual symptoms.

    This is deep, and there is a lot I would change if I could, but I think I'm going to go with @Thscary and say the hatred, intolerance, and violence.






  • For babies due 9/27

    How many weeks? 30!  Feels like a milestone. 

    What size? Zucchini, platypus no tail, motorcycle helmet

    Upcoming appointments? Another growth scan tomorrow.  excited to see how big these kids have gotten!  I get them every two weeks but still enjoy it in theory. 

    Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm big and uncomfortable and blah! 

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? My appetite seems to finally have come back a little which is awesome!! 

    GTKY: If you could end any problem in the world, what would you choose and why? Poor parenting.  I think it would solve a LOT of other problems if new parents (especially those without access to many resources/funds) had more support.

  • How many weeks? 33

    Whaf size? Celery

    Upcoming appointments? 34 week appt next Thursday

    Rants/Raves/Questions? We have what they are calling a "dangerous" heat wave coming our way Thurs-Sat. I'll need to get creative with indoor activities for my girls. The humidity is just too much for me these days.

    Symptons/Cravings/Aversions: My appetite still blows. I had a pack of those Keebler peanut butter and cheese crackers yesterday with a fruit punch Gatorade and it tasted amazing. It also made the baby move like crazy. Otherwise, I'm just sore and uncomfortable.

    GTKY: If you could end any problem in the world, what would you choose and why?  This is deep, a bit hard for my pregnancy brain to process in the morning. In light of recent events and being that I'm from Chicago and its now a daily occurrence, I'll say gun violence.

  • How many weeks?  32

    What size?  Squash

    Upcoming appointments?  I have my weekly growth scan and NST on Thursday

    Rants/Raves/Questions?  I guess this counts as a rant.  I feel like I've been pretty great about my ginormous bump.  I've always loved my pregnant bellies, this one included.  But I've now shot past the "due any day" look straight into "circus freak" territory.  We went out to eat this weekend and I couldn't fit in the booth.  Small children stare at me like my bump is coming to get them in the middle of the night.  I was kind of good humored about it, at first, but now it's starting to make me feel very self conscious.  And since my doctor said he would induce between 37-38 weeks, I could have 5-6 weeks left.  Who knows how big this thing will get by then?  I might have to stay home full time for fear of embarrassing my DH and kids in public!

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?   None.  The irony of my above rant is that I don't hardly eat anything right now.  For one, I'm not that hungry.  Secondly, everything gives me insane reflux.

    GTKY: If you could end any problem in the world, what would you choose and why?   Child abuse and neglect.  I can hardly stand to hear about it in the news.  It makes me sick to my stomach and I frequently cry.  I always start thinking about my own kids and if someone did those things to them...especially someone that was supposed to love them.  There are a lot of problems in the world that don't have an easy solution, but (to me) this one should be 100% avoidable.  You don't mistreat children. 
  • @Ssoccerball - I'm sorry you're feeling that way about your bump.  Another app told me this week that at 33 weeks pregnant (with a singleton) I might not get much bigger.  I seem to remember still growing quite a bit in the final 7 weeks last time, but maybe not?  Seems like babies are almost at full height at this point and packing some fat onto their bodies maybe wouldn't enlarge our bellies considerably?

  • @AnnaS930, thanks and I hope you're right.  These babies have consistently measured over 90% (for singletons!) so I'm a bit concerned about what happens when they start packing on their half pound per week.  I'm going to be one of those people that has to have reconstructive surgery because their skin hangs down to their knees.

    Sounds like you're doing an amazing job at growing those babies!!  Hang in there... and request tables rather than booths from this point forward!! Although have your husband bring the kids out to dinner while you nap, and them bringing you a meal to-go sounds like a pretty good solution as well!

    Upcoming appointments? Neurologist tomorrow. Scheduled the appointment 2 months ago when migraines were daily.

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I miss macaroni and cheese...

    GTKY: If you could end any problem in the world, what would you choose and why? Poverty. It would solve a lot of other problems.

    How many weeks? 32

    What size? too lazy to look and they never make sense.

    Upcoming appointments? We have our hospital preadmit today where we discuss birth plan preferences with a nurse, and then OB apt.

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant/Rave - I had a massage yesterday for my glutes/hips and it was the intense muscular kind (not nice and relaxing) so I'm sore from that, but it was still enjoyable.


    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Just craving lots of sweets. Symptoms - not much! Hips hurt but generally I'm feeling pretty good

    GTKY: If you could end any problem in the world, what would you choose and why? Ahh so deep... probably poverty
