  How many weeks? 32w1d
  
  What size? Lettuce/Pomello/Squash
  
  Upcoming appointments? Diabetic nurse meeting on Thursday to evaluate whether or not I need to go on insulin for the rest of the pregnancy. 
  
  Rants/Raves/Questions? Is anyone else having minor, periodic panic attacks? Because I'm fine, and then I'll think of something I haven't done yet, like omg we haven't completed our diaper stash *heavy breathing*, or I need to set up the crib or I need to get the house cleaned because dear God the baby is going to be here in less than 8 weeks... I know this is probably normal but the panic that seizes me is awful, and they're all super minor things. Except for the fact that I haven't taken any prenatal classes because the stupid public health nurse won't return my damn phone calls >.<

  
  

  Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Last night I had the worst throbbing pain in my right hip over my buttcheek. Would not go away. I think it was probably sciatic pain, but Tylenol wasn't touching it, and no matter what position I was in, or how long I walked for it didn't go away. It's gone now, thank goodness. 
  
  GTKY: Tell us your silly, random, weird, whatever aspirations or secret goals! I honestly can't think of anything right now... except, and this is really silly, but every once and a while I play the ever loving shit out of Final Fantasy 13, which isn't even one of the best FF games, except the animation is amazeballs, but I sit down and binge play it, but I NEVER make it to the end. Mainly because you have to put like a weeks worth of hours into doing it, but it just never seems to end. So maybe since I'm off for 2 months I'll actually finish it this time...

  Not really silly or weird, but my random goal has been (for years and years) to learn ASL.  
  
  Waiting for DH to find time to do it with me.  I took a class when I was a kid and know a few basic signs still, but that's it.  
  
  There's no real reason to want to know it (I don't know anyone who's deaf or hearing impaired in any serious sense) other than finding it interesting.

  How many weeks? 35 
  
  What size? Pineapples ..... but really they're both measuring as watermelons. 
  
  Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow with the OB and Thursday with the MFM. Hoping to schedule my c-section a little bit sooner than we were originally thinking. 
  
  Rants/Raves/Questions? 

  
  

  Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I'm really hating the restless legs. I had RLS before this pregnancy and even took meds to help with it. All that seems to help now are baths (let's talk about how much my water bill has gone up) and Benedryl at night. 
  
  GTKY: Tell us your silly, random, weird, whatever aspirations or secret goals! To vacation in Greece and to take the kids and DH to the town in was born in Spain. I want them to experience the things that I've talked about....the beautiful festivals, the food and the culture.

  How many weeks? 33
  
  What size? 4.2-5.8 lbs and 17.2-18.7 inches (Asparagus)
  
  Upcoming appointments? U/S in a week to check on low lying placenta then a clinic appointment in 1.5 weeks for a check up.
  

  
  

  Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?  I feel SO HEAVY and baby is loving the upper part of my belly so his little feet are always jabbing and pushing against the upper bits just under my ribs. Getting more tired frequently too so I've finally started taking naps when I need to, even though I have insomnia at night. My new mantra has become: SLEEP WHEN YOU CAN!

  What size? Asparagus

  Rants/Raves/Questions? I will rave on my husband for being very supportive and help me when I need it. He practically waited on me hand and foot today while I was dying on the couch. 

  
  

  Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?  My back is killing me! My legs are restless and sleep is no longer possible... I'm all about that nap life.

  How many weeks? 35 weeks
  
  What size? Pineapple
  
  Upcoming appointments? Check-up on Friday!
  
  Rants/Raves/Questions? OMG its sooooo hot outside... but when we stay inside, DS1 destroys the house and makes me insane. Late pregnancy conundrum! 

  
  

  Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Baby is getting STRONG. All his kicks and punches are getting painful! With DS1 I had an anterior placenta so I think that cushioned some of the blows more than I realized. DS2 is a future kickboxer, lol.
  
  GTKY: Tell us your silly, random, weird, whatever aspirations or secret goals! Oh, I have allllllllll the crazy goals and aspirations. I want to sell my novels to a big 5 publisher! I want to live abroad! I want to start a million Etsy shops! I want to travel to every state (only three left)! I want to travel to every continent! I want to become fluent in another language! I want to own one of those New England-y houses in a quaint town, like the ones in all the Home for the Holidays-type movies! I'm full of dreams, lol. Good thing I'm about to have two children... that always makes achieving dreams easier...

  @yellowrose314 I'm SUCH a worrier too, and I know this probably won't make you feel any more at ease, but there's still time to finish a lot of things even after baby arrives. Especially cleaning/organizing stuff. As long as there's a place for baby to sleep, a car seat installed, you have a small diaper/wipe stash, and you have some clothes, you're pretty much golden. We were out at Target only a couple days after DS1 was born and it was really not that big of a deal. In fact, maybe I'm weird, but after a week or so I craved outings and it was nice to have reasons to get out of the house. Newborns are super portable and sleepy.

  Weird but to eventually convince my husband somehow to have a third.   Every time especially during this pregnancy someone asks him if we're done he says hell yes and in my mind I'm totally not done (I have two boys and would love to try for a girl ! )

  @csukkha I know you've had a tough go with bed rest and complications (I secretly read the weekend ticker change although mine is Friday). How are you feeling about that potential induction? I'll be thinking of you and keeping my fingers crossed that everything looks good with fluid levels.

  @AlwaysAuntNeverMom I trust our OB and hospital staff to keep us healthy and safe. Just reminding myself it could have been worse he could have come in late June or July ecstatic we made it to August.
