How many weeks?
30 - does that mean I'm 75% of the way there???

What size is baby?
The Bump says a zucchini... which seems much smaller than most of the things from the past few weeks. My bump says it's about the size of a small pumpkin.

Upcoming appointments?
I have a checkup on Thursday... trying to make my list of questions.

Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rave: Husband is building some new furniture for our living room - the first step towards getting him out of his office so we can turn it into a nursery

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
I'm feeling ok overall - no cravings or aversions. Some mild cramping here and there, some arm/leg numbness, diarrhea off and on, along with hemorrhoids. I feel like such a goddess.

GTKY: Fall TV is back, anything new or returning you are looking forward to seeing?

I watch crappy TV, so not really. I'm not even admitting what we DVR in this house because it's embarrassing!

dmontgo · September 2016

How many weeks? 28 WUT.

What size is baby? Eggplant...echidna...

Upcoming appointments? Yeah, BP check and GTT on Thursday.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I hate how dry my mouth gets because of this medication. It feels like the roof of my mouth is cut up, and the gum area where I got my wisdom teeth removed keeps spontaneously bleeding even though I'm constantly drinking water. I'm glad this treatment is available, but the side effects are frustrating.

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Started feeling some BH--getting very, very hot while sleeping, to the point of sweating.

GTKY: Fall TV is back, anything new or returning you are looking forward to seeing? I don't have cable so I don't generally watch a lot of TV. I am really excited about Halloween movies on Netflix, though!

cayaylonglegs · September 2016

How many weeks?
30 weeks zomg.

What size is baby?
Summer cantaloupe

bump ate my post. I'll redo it later.

Upcoming appointments?
Next Monday starts the biweekly appts

Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rant: If my weekend posts were any indication I have been in a serious funk the past week. I'm trying my hardest to just relax and breathe through the bullshit though. I've done some serious nesting this morning and the fact that I have opened all the windows in the house today has helped.

Raves: it feels like fall. Also DH is out of town til Friday and it is so much easier to nest with an empty house.

Question: For those ladies experiencing lots of discharge do you notice it happens more during a certain time of day?

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Just let me have chocolate milk back, I'm begging you.

GTKY: Fall TV is back, anything new or returning you are looking forward to seeing?
FOOTBALL IS ALL I CARE ABOUT.

Kacie209 · September 2016

How many weeks? 29 weeks!

What size is baby? Fougasse (bread but is the French version in taste to a fancy-shaped pizza), hawaiian pineapple, barbie convertible (which I totally had!), New England cottontail rabbit, cauliflower (I swear this was a previous week)acorn squash or butternut squash... so many things!

Upcoming appointments? Start my every other week appointments next week, and passed Glucose so don't have to go back this week.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Swollen feet are still around. However, I ordered some compression socks last week and rushed one of the pairs. I wore them Saturday and Sunday... holy difference! I can actually wear my shoes and ankle bones shows up again. And the ones I got were the lowest mmHg so I can't imagine what the higher ones would do. My feet throbbed ALL week. I went to a concert last night and stood most of the time, and this morning... they still look good.

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Stuffy nose. Had some stretching pains yesterday. Acne, but that's a once a month thing. In terms of food, honestly., just food in general is all good. I do eat enough to not feel miserable full, but am always hungry an hour later.

GTKY: Fall TV is back, anything new or returning you are looking forward to seeing? When DH and I started dating, we actually watched a lot of the same shows. And if not, most aren't on anymore. But, our DVR started filling up again last week and involves - Gotham, Big Bang Theory, Scream Queens,The Goldbergs (my fave!), Modern Family, American Horror Story, Grey's, Blacklist, and Vampire Diaries (that's my own show, and still have last season to catch up that's on our basement DVR). DH watches the Fox shows on Sundays. The only show we picked up was This Is Us... which we watched the pilot yesterday. It was cute, and I'll probably keep watching.

We both admit that some of these could be stopped, but feel we're too many seasons in to just stop cold turkey.

cjt121413 · September 2016

How many weeks? 28 weeks. Hello, third tri.

What size is baby? A large eggplant, tropical coconut, a rollerblade (??)

Upcoming appointments? We had a sono today to check baby's size. Everything looked good. She's measuring in the 46 %ile, which is good, as the concern from the last sono was that she was measuring big. I failed the 1 hour glucose test so I will have to go back later this week for the three hour.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Bummed that I have to do the three hour. I'll do what I have to do for LO, but still a bummer.

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I feel relatively good, aside from starting to feel big. No real cravings, as my appetite isn't great these days.

GTKY: Fall TV is back, anything new or returning you are looking forward to seeing? I love Blacklist and Blindspot. Designated Survivor looks like it'll be good.

LinziLoo09 · September 2016

Leg cramps, braxton hicks, peeing throughout the night, broken capillaries....you know...the usual.

GTKY: Fall TV is back, anything new or returning you are looking forward to seeing?
AHS, 90 Day Fiance (excuse my trash tv watching), Grey's Anatomy...I'm sure there are more but I can't think of them right now.

sheshae · September 2016

How many weeks? 29 weeks

What size is baby? Acorn Squash.. which I saw one yesterday at the store and this child feels a lot larger than that...

Upcoming appointments? Not until October 10th.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I was debating packing my hospital bag this weekend but was sort of lost on what I really need to bring... Any tips??

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I still don't like french fries or he doesn't. In and out smells horrible anytime we drive by there which makes me sad because I love In and Out.

GTKY: Fall TV is back, anything new or returning you are looking forward to seeing? Oooo. I've been watching American Horror Story already which I may have to stop because for the first time in a while I had horrible, vivid, scary dreams. Not cool.
Besides that.. Supernatural, Gotham and I think that's it.

slartybartfast · September 2016

crap. I just got done reading and

ing all the posts when I remembered I'm supposed to be lurking (I'm friday).
Don't mind me...

sammyl1221 · September 2016

How many weeks? 31 weeks!!

What size is baby? asparagus.............really bump? Something doesn't add up here lol

Upcoming appointments? Had my check up today- everything looks good! She kicked the doctor which made the doctor laugh. Found out I will most likely be induced on my due date or +5 days after due to my GD if she doesn't come beforehand. I lost weight but hopefully in the next two weeks I will make up for it.

Rants/Raves/Questions? soooooo crazy to think she is going to be here soon. We are finally in the single digit weekly countdown. I am washing her clothes as we speak. I can't wait!

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? still all about sweets, which I had to cut down on.

GTKY: Fall TV is back, anything new or returning you are looking forward to seeing? I am realllyyyyy excited about Jane the Virgin. Once Upon a Time came back last night and I was kind of mehhhh about it.

swhiddon33 · September 2016

How many weeks? 30!

What size is baby? A platypus, motorcycle helmet, cantaloupe, I mean what? None of these things look like the other

Upcoming appointments? Just checked in this morning. Good review/happy mama.

Rant: I wish the doc would get moving on confirming my 11/28 c section so we can get DH's FMLA paperwork done. I hate delays.

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Just worry. All the worries.

GTKY: Fall TV is back, anything new or returning you are looking forward to seeing?

I'm mortified at how much we watch. We were stoked at the return of The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, and Grey's Anatomy last week. Started This Is Us and The Good Place. This week brings Criminal Minds, Shameless and probably more I can't recall. Then later comes Supernatural, The Walking Dead, Sleepy Hollow, Life In Pieces, and Nashville. We are still watching Fear The Walking Dead, The Strain, and I like a Hallmark Channel show called Chesapeake Shores that's on right now. Someone stage an intervention!!!

KatieJo1205 · September 2016

How many weeks? 30 weeks

What size is baby? Motorcycle Helmet, head of cabbage, half of a large Cheesecake Factory Cheesecake

Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow - just a routine 2 week appt.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Nothing really!

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Starting to get a little more tired lately. Also a little fuzzy headed (which I think might actually be fall allergies kicking in). Otherwise still pretty good!

GTKY: Fall TV is back, anything new or returning you are looking forward to seeing? Blacklist, Grey's... the rest of the shows I watch I am still catching up on from last season (in theory - I'm not doing a very good job of it!).

temmetime · September 2016

How many weeks? 29

What size is baby? Butternut squishy squash

Upcoming appointments? Elective 3D this morning (yay!) and little guy was hiding his face pretty well. Regular checkup on Thursday with rhogam shot

Rants/Raves/Questions? A ton of questions I have typically get answered on here, which I love and it impresses my doc

Rave - regular 'alone time' (bowels) lately!

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Been craving all the apples. The stuffy nose at night is annoying. It's by far not the worst symptom I could ever have. No aversions that are significant enough to notice.

GTKY: Fall TV is back, anything new or returning you are looking forward to seeing? Always always always football! Aside from that, DH and I started the Voice, This is Us, DWTS (Go Jana Kramer Go) & I have to admit to watching Love at First Kiss.

sammyl1221 · September 2016

***spoilers***

@swhiddon33 I watched this is us and cried!!! First off that whole ending was great and caught me off guard, but then with the one death I was hysterical. My DH was like it's okay it's just a show lol. Yeah well when you're pregnant and something like that happens to another mama it's freaks you out!!! Even if it's just a show.

jennbaylor12 · September 2016

How many weeks? 29 weeks, whoot!!

What size is baby?
Via @Kacie209 - Fougasse (bread but is the French version in taste to a fancy-shaped pizza), hawaiian pineapple, barbie convertible (which I totally had! Me too!!), New England cottontail rabbit, cauliflower (I swear this was a previous week, ditto) acorn squash or butternut squash... so many things!

Upcoming appointments?
Have a regular appt tomorrow, anticipate scheduling the RCS while we're there (!!!) as well as starting every 2wk appts (!!!!!). Time is 'a flyin'

Rants/Raves/Questions?
Nothing major

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Typical 3rd tri stuff. Plenty of it but don't feel like elaborating.... Just keep swimming, just keep swimming....

GTKY: Fall TV is back, anything new or returning you are looking forward to seeing?
Football!! Otherwise we don't really watch a lot of tv, actually cancelled our cable over the summer. Just finished Narcos on Netflix, so good! Before that was Stranger Things, again so good!

SaraRose83 · September 2016

How many weeks? 30, yikes! This is happening!

What size is baby?
Zucchini, which sounds too small for how big I feel I look

Upcoming appointments?
In two weeks. My doc is still scheduling me every 3 weeks...my next appt is at the end of 32 weeks. Is that normal? Looks like everyone else is going to every other week after 30?

Rants/Raves/Questions?
Work. It's bad. I could go into a much longer rant, but it's really that bad. Stressing out about leave.
Also, anyone else peeing themselves when they bend over? I am.

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
My hips hurt when I sleep and I wake up every hour to turn over.

GTKY: Fall TV is back, anything new or returning you are looking forward to seeing?The weird western show on HBO looks like something DH might make me watch and I'm hoping Portlandia comes back with more and Kimmy Schmidt.

OMG - I did yesterday! I bent down to put the leash on the dog and peed myself! Because bending over isn't hard enough these days, we get a little extra pee bonus as well!

SaraRose83 · September 2016

@KatieJo1205 Thank you! I feel better somehow that it isn't just me. I don't know if it's the way she's sitting in there or if my bladder is just that squished. It's like that extra pressure just squeezes it out. I laughed the first time it happened. We'll see how long my good humor lasts.

penelope4612 · September 2016

**Lurker from Thursdays**

@dmontgo - I don't know if it's "pregnancy safe" (idk why it wouldn't be) but Biotene sells a mouthwash for dry mouth that might help.

@cayaylonglegs - I always have discharge in the mornings, rarely at other times of the day.

Yep. My mornings seem to be heavier with it than other times. Wonder why?

dmontgo · September 2016

@penelope4612 Thank you for the suggestion! You never think about your mouth until it hurts!

cayaylonglegs · September 2016

@penelope4612 @swhiddon33 - thanks ladies! that's what I'm dealing with in the morning so I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Kacie209 · September 2016

@cayaylonglegs I notice some discharge in the morning, but more so after I have a BM. I don't know if that pushing some of that stuff out, especially if I am trying to push some out... but that's when I notice it a lot more. So, I guess in the morning since that is usually when I try and then usually another time during the day if I can go. Some days has more than others.

swhiddon33 · September 2016

@cayaylonglegs I may have replied too soon lol as it is currently 3pm and I feel like since lunchtime I have released enough for two day's worth. Seriously. I just feel so gross.

cayaylonglegs · September 2016

@kacie209 - I hadn't even thought of the correlation between the two, but you might be on to something.

@swhiddon33 - Aw. I'm sorry! Sometimes when I wake up in the morning I question whether or not I had an accident during the night. I'm really over the multiple undie changes throughout the day

Kacie209 · September 2016

@cayaylonglegs @swhiddon33 I have been wearing a light pad every day since discharge has increased, which has helped a lot and makes me feel not so gross by it all when it has been more than usual. I also switched to more bikini/hipster underwear and retired my thongs for quite some time.

sammyl1221 · September 2016

@cayaylonglegs mine is all day. I feel like it's every time I go to the bathroom. I actually said something to my Doctor in the beginning because I was really worried it was too much but it's all good. He said to just be on the look out for a Gushing feeling and a lot (enough to fill up a pad) because that could be amniotic fluid.

ummm new symptom I noticed yesterday.... Dry flaky nipples. Anyone else?? I picked up lanolin to use but I was a little alarmed when I saw this.

dmontgo · September 2016

@sammyl1221 It's probably dried colostrum. I have noticed since starting the third trimester my nips look crusty too, but it easily flakes off. I don't exactly *leak* yet, but when I express colostrum comes out. So I assume the bra and normal movement make it all crusty. Unless your nips hurt, which in that case is likely dry skin.

sammyl1221 · September 2016

@dmontgo thanks! that's what my first thought was but I haven't noticed any leaking unless my nipples are sneaky and do it secretly. Nipples don't hurt either.
