    How many weeks? 30 weeks! 

    What size is baby? Cantaloupe or a large tube of ice cream

    Upcoming appointments? We have our 4D growth scan on Wednesday. I'm SO excited for that! 

    Rants/Raves/Questions? INSOMNIA! I've had it for a while, but it's really taking a toll on me. I need one FULL day of relaxation and laying around. We've been SO busy getting our house remodeled and everything ready... I need a break! Hoping in the next few weeks everything will be done with the help from my mom and we can have some down time before our son arrives. 

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Nothing really besides tired. 

    GTKY: What are you really looking forward to once your baby has arrived? I'm just so excited to start my new journey to motherhood. I can't wait to hold our son and love him and make memories with DH. Oh and get my body back. LOL

    What size is baby?
    The size of Gizmo - should I be worried I'm growing a gremlin? That movie gave me nightmares. 

    Upcoming appointments?
    MRI of my knee today, then seeing the ortho surgeon Wednesday for the results - hoping for some answers! 

    Rants/Raves/Questions?
    Rant - I just CANNOT with DD right now. She starts kindergarten this week and is soooo excited she is bouncing off the walls. While I'm happy to see her enthusiasm, she is DRIVING. ME. BONKERS. This is a bad time to not be drinking. 

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
    Started getting Braxton Hicks Friday ... which turned into some mild cramping because I was dehydrated. A little freaky, but I realized right away I hadn't been drinking enough water and everything went back to normal. I got this a few times with DD, but it was much later on. So everyone remember to stay hydrated!

    GTKY: What are you really looking forward to once your baby has arrived?
    A good bottle glass of red wine!
  • How many weeks? 31, I feel like it's all downhill from here.

    What size is baby? A bundle of asparagus? I really don't understand the sizing we've got going on,

    Upcoming appointments? Next week on my birthday :)

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Rants, I'm sick with a cold. As if breathing wasn't hard enough already. Raves: it's raining here so it's in the 80's instead of the 100's and I'm amazed at what a difference that makes in how I feel physically.

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Vaginal pain and pressure. I feel like he is trying to dig out. 

    GTKY: What are you really looking forward to once your baby has arrived?
    Holding my baby and seeing my fiancé with him. Sleeping on my stomach. Alcohol and spicy tuna. Maternity leave.
  • @NicholeL16 How did I forget alcohol?!? Bring me all the wine.

    What size is baby? a squash (mmmm squash!)

    Upcoming appointments? None this week, next Monday but that's just a check in

    Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm officially on maternity leave which I'm so excited about, but what did I do??? Made plans for every day this week lol so much for resting.  At least it's at my own pace.

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I seriously hate this new aversion to textures.  I've never had issues with texture before, but now anything that is soft, I can only get a couple of bites before spitting it out - UNLESS it's sweet, then give it to me all day!  I'm also not liking that the baby is slowing down in kicks.  I know he's running out of room but I want kicks all day every day! It's my favourite part.  But it's like he can hear me when I get nervous about his lack of movement cause then he'll give me a good pow and be on our way.  Lol

    GTKY: What are you really looking forward to once your baby arrives? I would have to say the cuddles but I also want to agree with @ibabyloveb87 I wanna see my son with my hubby, and the cuddles they'll have and the bonding.

  • Okay... catching up, as usual
    @sportiegrl1213 - SO jealous of that 4D US! Good luck!!! Post the pic for us on FB b/c I NEVER look at the US thread... but I want to see your LO!

    @ibabyloveb87 - you're probably addicted... you should seek treatment  :p just kidding... obviously

    @NicholeL16 - ::runs to FB to see which day your bday is:: Yay birthdays!!! 

    All the 32 weekers... I'm now officially making butternut squash risotto for dinner. It's so much work but it's SOOOO good!

    @MKJeffrey2002 - yes... hard cider! Any interest in meeting up at the cidery that's up your way after the babies are born? If so, feel free to message and/or add me on FB and we can coordinate closer to time :) If you're not sure which one I'm talking about, let me know in the message so I can provide the info for you. There's usually a groupon for apple picking but that might be before the babies... which I'd also be up for. Let me know :)

    How many weeks? 31

    What size is baby? stealing from Nichole... asparagus

    Upcoming appointments? I have one on Wed... just a pee in a cup one though so nothing exciting

    Rants/Raves/Questions? trying to stop all the complaining I've been doing, so no rants :) Baby shower is this weekend though! Super excited about that.... FX for cool weather an no rain!

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I'm doing well actually... nothing major here... thank goodness!

    GTKY: What are you really looking forward to once your baby has arrived? 
    all of you sweet people who first thought of things like snuggling the baby, and seeing your SO as a father.
    My first thought... I cannot wait to have an adult evening again, with friends, that involves wine. My bestie and I we talking about it today. I seriously want to talk my parents into coming down and watching all the kids while we have a fun night. They're close with my bestie and LOVE their son so I think they'd be up for it. We shall see :)

    but of course... baby snuggles too :) They're the best!


  • @TheBeeCharmer  Have you tried stretching to relieve sciatica pain.  My friend who is an OT has been telling me how to do this stretch to prevent it from starting.  So far so good.  She says it also helps to relieve pain.  You sit with one leg folded (think sitting indian style) Then put the other leg straight behind you and lean forward as far as you can.  It really feels good.  Then switch sides.

    What size is baby? Stealing from @MrsB627 Celery

    Upcoming appointments? I had one this morning and another on Thursday with my MFM.  I did my first NST this morning and everything went well.  They weren't able to get a good reading in the office so they sent me to L&D which is across the street.  It was good to see where it is, since we still haven't gone in for a tour.  

    Rants/Raves/Questions? I live in south Louisiana and really just want the water to go down and roads to open.  More roads were closed today than yesterday.  Work was closed Friday and today, open tomorrow for employees only and patients can return on Wednesday.  I don't have excess PTO to take to cover the days off and am just ready for things to back to normal.  I really am a lucky one in all this though.  We didn't get any water in our home or cars.  I just hope I can find a route home from work tomorrow.  The interstate is closed one way, but not the other, so I can't go and come home the same route.  I ended up driving on a closed road to get home from my appointment this morning.  

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Vomited only once this week.  Crave all the sweets since I can't have them.  

    GTKY: What are you really looking forward to once your baby has arrived? 
    Not being nauseated/pregnant.  Eating sweets and drinking.  Oh yeah and getting to meet my little girl :)  Also really looking forward to the holidays with a little one.

  • @mkc3888 um my body would not bend like that anymore lol I can't even bend down some days to pick up toys lol 
  • @LauraPCOS I think I'm going to go out earlier than planned! Summer camp ends Friday and then I have 10 days then school starts. I'm thinking that I'm going to stay for the first two weeks and then take the two weeks off before my due date. We have a new principal so I want to meet her and set up my classroom but I'm sooooo ready for leave lol

    What size is baby? Zucchini 

    Upcoming appointments?

    i have just a regular appointment next week


    Rants/Raves/Questions?

    I would like to rave about air conditioning, ice cream, and slushies. Basically all things cold. After working all weekend in an area of the building where the AC was broken, I just want to be in a freezer all day. And drink ice cold water. And swim in ice cold water. 


    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?

    Ice water. Like I said above I'm craving anything cold. 

    GTKY: What are you really looking forward to once your baby has arrived?

    All the sleepy baby snuggles. H had to put DD to bed tonight since I had a hard time rocking her to sleep for her nap today because my belly was in the way. I know I shouldn't put her to sleep that way anymore, but it's the only time I get the snuggles. It's always been really calming to me when she'd sleep in my arms and she's going to be too big to do that before I know it. So, once this belly is out of the way, I can't wait to be able to snuggle both kids. At least until they get too be too big for it. 
  • @bnsmith85 I'd definitely be down to meet up for some cider and apple picking
  • @MKJeffrey2002 yay! I'll keep an eye out on the orchard FB site to get info about the apple picking season and such :)
  • How many weeks? 31

    What size is baby? Asparagus

    Upcoming appointments? tomorrow is a routine Midwife appointment and I need to find time to get my. rogham shot this week.

    Rants/Raves/Questions? finally got a birth ball (skipped it last time) and omg does it hurt. It feels great but when I stand up its lightning crotch and limping for a few minutes.

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? The usual nothing sounds great. I am sore and tired but not sleeping well. The reflux and nausea are picking back up again.

    GTKY: What are you really looking forward to once your baby has arrived? Not being pregnant, wine and seeing DS interact with her.
