karmba · October 2016

How many weeks? 33 - time is flying by!

What size is baby? Celery, pineapple, cauliflower

Upcoming appointments? I have a routine one today and I'm going to book all of my remaining ones!

Rants/raves/questions? I have a baby shower this weekend! My sisters threw one a few weeks ago for my family back home and this is a local friends one. I'm really looking forward to it : )

Symptoms/cravings/aversions? It's not really a symptom but the unseasonably warm weather we're getting (hitting records in the 80s this week) is making me miserable in general.

GTKY: Are there any books you are especially looking forward to sharing with your LO? I had a book about Grover when I was little called "There's a monster at the end of this book" and I absolutely loved it. My parents don't have it anymore and my mom couldn't find it in stores by her. Randomly I found it at B&N this weekend! So I'm excited to add it to our growing library of children's books.

How many weeks? 34

What size is baby? Butternut Squash

Upcoming appointments? Every week

Rants/Raves/Questions: Doc 'cant encourage, but won't not recommend' that I stop my progesterone and start walking+RRLT and EPO if those are things I want to do.

At this point they won't stop me if I go in with time-able contrax!!

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions: Sadly a lack of contrax, in what feels like a month.

ETA: bump ate everything after my emoji.

GTKY: So many. HP, Fablehaven, Eragon, Rick Riodan, CS Lewis. . .

@Kate08Young I mean...at least the little one is cooking and you get to finally be mobile!

How many weeks? 30. Wut.

What size is baby? Zucchini, I think.

Upcoming appointments? Not til November.

Rants/raves/questions? Shiz is getting real all of a sudden. I guess I should get my nesting in gear and put together my nursery area! Oh, and I want to rave on my H. He is being a complete sweetheart about going to appointments and encouraging me to do my exercises.

Symptoms/cravings/aversions? Not really. Just jabs from baby, tiredness, etc.

GTKY: Are there any books you are especially looking forward to sharing with your LO? Uh...Harry Potter!

How many weeks? 34

What size is baby? Pineapple, 5lb bag of flour

Upcoming appointments? On Tuesday

Rants/raves/questions? Ongoing back pain is the worst. I'm doing PT and hoping that helps. Also, this is totally unrelated to pregnancy, but has anyone updated their iPhone with the new software and think that it sucks? There are so many things I hate about it.

Symptoms/cravings/aversions? Reflux, back pain, muscle cramps, tiredness

GTKY: Are there any books you are especially looking forward to sharing with your LO? Harry Potter... also I need to go through my childhood books and see what I have. I'm sure there are some old favorites in there.

1MommyRunner · October 2016

How many weeks?
32 weeks!

What size is baby?
last week as a loaf of bread

Upcoming appointments?
Tomorrow we have our last ultrasound and then a HB check!

Rants/raves/questions?
Rant: I am just ready to be done. I hurt all the time and I can't do anything for more than 5 minutes without feeling totally wiped out.
Rave: We had a baby shower this past weekend and things got really real with all the pink! We also received a hand crocheted blanket my Granny made for us before she passed away. She made a pink one in addition to a blue one when I had my son, just in case she wasn't able to make another...it's like The Lord let her in on the secret we would have a girl eventually. Needless to say, I completely ugly cried. She was my best friend and I miss her so much. But like my DH says, she has the best seat in the house.

Symptoms/cravings/aversions?
Shortness of breath, heart burn, backpain, rib pain...I feel huge.

GTKY: Are there any books you are especially looking forward to sharing with your LO?
She received a small library at her baby shower including a bunch of Bible story books and Cinderella. Her room is done in Cinderella so I'm pretty excited about that.

kbduke · October 2016

@karmba I had that book when I was little too and loved it!

phoenix870509 · October 2016

*lurking from Friday*
@karmba that's one of the books I got at my shower! I was so excited, it was one of my faves too!

crystalmir91385 · October 2016

How many weeks? 34 Weeks!

What size is baby? Butternut squash

Upcoming appointments? Tuesday. I've been going weekly since 32. Currently dilated to 2 cm.

Rants/raves/questions?

Symptoms/cravings/aversions? This last week RLP has really ramped up. Not a fan. Still having back pain and breathing issues as well.

GTKY: Are there any books you are especially looking forward to sharing with your LO? None in particular at this stage. We practically have a children's library at our house since both grandma's are firm believers in reading to children. I know we have well over 400 books.

gowenc · October 2016

How many weeks? 34! So close!

What size is baby? Butternut squash or savoy cabbage

Upcoming appointments? None this week - I have a check in with the midwives practice next week and then weekly check-ins and non-stress tests after that.

Rants/raves/questions? I guess my rant is that I feel like crap. I'm not sleeping, and I'm having issues with swelling that are leading to carpel tunnel. My current boss has been very understanding and agreed to let me work from home when needed, but he got transferred and tomorrow is his last day. As of Monday I have a new boss, and I have no idea how supportive he'll be. He can't do anything about the leave I'm taking, but if the next 6 weeks are more or less like the last couple, I'm going to need to work from home a fair amount.

Symptoms/cravings/aversions? No particular cravings or aversions at the moment. In addition to insomnia and swelling, I've got the general stuff - braxton hicks, hip and back pain, some heartburn/reflux. He's been an active little guy in there, and it's still fun (read: not painful) to feel and see him move.

GTKY: Are there any books you are especially looking forward to sharing with your LO? Some of my childhood favorites - Goodnight Moon, the Giving Tree, etc.

Mamax2 · October 2016

How many weeks? 33

What size is baby? Celery and some othet stuff

Upcoming appointments? Perinatal on Tuesday, OB on Thursday.

Rants/raves/questions? I somehow managed to lose $175 in giftcards from our shower. I have turned my house upside down, inside out, with no luck. I've searched the cars, and random other places. I'm so ticked at myself.

Symptoms/cravings/aversions? Pizza, bananas, apples, and mandarin oranges are all I want lately

GTKY: Are there any books you are especially looking forward to sharing with your LO? Monster at the end of this book, The Giving Tree, I'll Love You Forever, Where the Wild Things are. I know that there are more, but I'm brain fried right now.

ashleaf2018 · October 2016

How many weeks? 33 weeks

What size is baby? Celery

Upcoming appointments? Next week.

Rants/Raves/Questions: Only 6 weeks til we have a baby!!!! I am honestly so ready for him to get here and mostly to just not be pregnant anymore.

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions: Still have HG. Considering buying stock in whatever the parent companies are of Keebler club crackers and ginger ale since that's all I can keep down.

GTKY: So many. Definitely HP above all others. For little kid books I was obsessed with the Biscuit series about the little dog, and FI and I want to get Rhett a puppy when he's old enough to understand how to help with it. So I think that will be a neat book series to get him introduced to.

juliehollz13 · October 2016

What size is baby? a cabbage of some sort....these fruit things are getting ridiculous so I stopped paying attention

princesslockness · October 2016

@PensiveCrayon I'm like a little kid in a candy store excited to get walking and start these contrax again.

@penelope4612 I hate it. I can deal with it on my phone, but I have basically quit using my iPad because it bothers me so much.

Upcoming appointments? I had an appointment today - everything measuring fine! We won't have any more ultrasounds unless something is going wrong and I scheduled all my appointments through my due date!!

Rants/raves/questions? This week I got my butt kicked. I am excited to set up our nursery with the crib we got last weekend but my DH has to drive 4 hours Saturday to help his parents move. Now they want him there at 7 a.m. which means that he would have to leave at 5 a.m. (UGH) So now he's going to work in the office near them on Friday and just spend the night. I might just put this freaking crib together myself

Symptoms/cravings/aversions? Nothing really! Back pain is under control just exhausted. I know i should be walking today but I just want to take a nap.

GTKY: Are there any books you are especially looking forward to sharing with your LO? ALL THE BOOKS. Goodnight moon and Runaway Bunny for board books. Harry Potter of course when she is older. I have a list on my amazon registry if anyone wants to contribute

The Stupids, Rotten Ralph, Mike Mulligan and His Steamshovel, Meanwhile Back at the Ranch, George and Martha, the list goes on and on.

kattyc-2 · October 2016

How many weeks?

31 - this past week flew by, I can't believe it is already Friday and I missed ticker change yesterday

What size is baby?

Asparagus

Upcoming appointments?

GD dietitian appointment next week. Had a terrible appointment this past Monday with one of the rotating OBs and afterwards I reached out to a group of midwives to see if I could transfer to their practice this far along. Now waiting for my docs to send the midwives my file so they can review it and decide if they will let me transfer. I'm not thrilled about switching groups, but I'm over the baby-factory atmosphere and need to see a group that actually has time to answer my questions.

Rants/raves/questions?

Where did September go and how did it get to be the end of October already?!?

Symptoms/cravings/aversions?

Thankfully my sugar cravings have toned down with following the GD diet, but I'm reallllly getting sick of eating the same things every day.
A new symptom this week - I've been waking up with achy knuckles.

GTKY: Are there any books you are especially looking forward to sharing with your LO?
I love this questions! Yes, as @leksiL said, all the books! @karmba - that was one of my faves too
