Upcoming appointments this week? Next week, have a 3D/4D ultrasound today!
Any new symptoms or changes? Still have burning skin sometimes on my belly, swelling less this week...lots of baby kicks which I love
Rants/Raves/Questions? Got my glider yesterday, every item I get for the nursery makes it more real that a baby is coming in 12 weeks!! Borderline results on my 3 hour GTT last week so hopefully with some diet changes I can improve my numbers....just trying to be as healthy as I can be!
GTKY: Which parent are you closer to? I am definitely closer to my mom, especially since I'm her only child (I have 2 half brothers and a step sister). We are best friends and have a lot in common. After my parents divorced when I was 16, my dad and I had a somewhat up and down relationship but as I got older we have tried harder to mend things between us. We don't always agree on things because we both have strong opinions. I think its hard to see your parents as human beings who make mistakes and aren't perfect but he's the only dad I have. It's important to forgive and that we make an effort to stay connected. I'm curious to see him in the grandpa role with my daughter! This will be grandchild #5 for him. This will be #1 for my mom so she's very excited!!
How far along are you? 27 weeks. So close to 3rd tri!! Congrats @Spartanrd4 on hitting 3rd tri!!
How big is baby? Lettuce, I guess...
Upcoming appointments this week? I had my glucose test and a regular 4-week appt yesterday. All is well!
Any new symptoms or changes? Nothing pregnancy related but I might be coming down with a slight cold.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I passed my glucose test! Also, I got to see baby on the ultrasound yesterday and he is getting SO big!!! He actually looks more like a baby and less like an alien.
GTKY: Which parent are you closer to? My dad. I was raised by my paternal grandmother so I'm not super close to either parent but my dad has been more in my life than my womb donor.

How big is baby? 2 lb. 3 oz...HUGE!!! He's supposed to be 1.5 lb. according to the apps I use so he's measuring 2-3 weeks ahead!
Upcoming appointments this week? I had one this morning, which is how I know his exact size. It was my last cervix check-up and it's been closed & stable the last few weeks so I'm very grateful it went well & things look as good as they can!
Any new symptoms or changes? Lots of kicks lately!!❤️
Rants/Raves/Questions? Hmm...well now that I know I have a ginormous baby growing in my belly, has anyone else had their due date moved up (or back) and when did your doctor change it? Mine hasn't been moved up yet but I feel like it probably is going to be...
GTKY: Which parent are you closer to? Definitely my mom, as I've gotten older I feel like our relationship has become much more of a friendship. She's always been there for me & supported me and now going through pregnancy I appreciate her even more than I did before!
Upcoming appointments this week? I had my three hour glucose yesterday and I passed!!!
Any new symptoms or changes? Acid reflux. Ugh.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Whenever I bend over, it's like I hit a wall in my stomach. It hurts. Is this normal?
GTKY: Which parent are you closer to? I'm close to both of my parents, but I would say I'm closer to my mom. I honestly don't know what I would do without her!
Upcoming appointments this week? Nop! I feel like I'm on auto pilot.
Any new symptoms or changes? Baby had a dance party in my belly this morning! It was find of fun.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm super excited about the holidays. My family is coming to visit me this year. We will have a house full of craziness. Oh how I love the holidays!
GTKY: Which parent are you closer to? I'm close with both my parents, but I would have to say that since I've gotten a little older, I think my Mom and I have become closer.
Any new symptoms or changes? I think Acid reflux. When I lie down to sleep I become so gassy. Also, sleeping in general is getting harder and so i'm more tired during the day.
Rants/Raves/Questions? My DH is still going above and beyond for me and I'm so grateful. I have been crying a lot more again and he has been there for me to the entire time, even when I am being ridiculous.
GTKY: Which parent are you closer to? I'm really close to both, but I guess maybe a little closer to my dad. We have always gotten along really well and he is the person I turn to most when I need advice. But my mom is such a wonderful and strong person that I always know she is there for me too.
How big is baby? Size of a head of Kale - Seems pretty big!
Upcoming appointments this week? Thursday, I have my first official appointment with my OB! I am a little nervous, but also very excited - seems more real.
Any new symptoms or changes? More head burn, more hormonal - which could tie in with the renovations.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rants - Why can't contractors vacuum up their messes? I got home again from work today and they still leave their shit everywhere. Tim's cups, nails in the middle of the floor, napkins and gaterade bottles. Not to mention all the saw dust that they don't bother to shop vac. So for the first hour, I used their own shop vac to clean my house.. They probably will come back and say wow we did a great of cleaning up.
GTKY: Which parent are you closer to? Hmm.. this is hard. As a child, I was very close to my mom, as my dad was very busy with work. As an teenager, I was a nasty little thing to my mother, and was closer to my dad. I'd say now, I am pretty close to both!
@serenity13 At my AS, LO was measuring 13 days ahead, both on ultrasound and by fundal height, and they said they don't move up due dates unless baby is 14 days ahead. I was like, ok.... And then at my last appointment, I saw a nurse practitioner. My fundal height measured 31 cm at 24 weeks, which is quite large. She was alarmed and spoke to an OB, who said that if I'm still measuring large at 28 weeks, then they'll do an u/s to find out more. Guess you and I will both have to wait and see if our due dates change soon.
@klz0330 Congrats on passing your 3-hour!! I'm sure it's a relief! How far along are you? 27 weeks
How big is baby? the size of a rutabaga or a bottle of sriracha!
Upcoming appointments this week? None until 12/7 for my 1-hour GTT
Any new symptoms or changes? I am officially at the stage where I've started wondering if I need to hide my bump again - just so my students don't notice my baby kicking. I'm feeling way more kicks now than flutters, which is a milestone for those with anterior placentas like myself! Also.... the beginnings of stretch marks And officially a popped navel, @Spartanrd4!
Rants/Raves/Questions? I received my first present off our registry - a Pack 'N Play!! Over the weekend, we also received the crib bedding set and ordered the crib, which is due to arrive in the next couple weeks. Things are getting real, y'all.
GTKY: Which parent are you closer to? This is a hard question to answer, in a good way. I've always been a daddy's girl since literally the day I was adopted. According to my mom, I had a hard time trusting women, due to my biological mom putting me up for adoption at 7 months old and then having a series of foster moms and nurses come and go until I was 13 months old. However, I warmed to her eventually, and I can turn to her for just about anything. I think it's pretty cool how my mom understood what I was going through, due to my life up to that point, and took it in stride. Ultimately, it didn't affect me becoming close to her.
@dubcompanion my navel is almost flat.....still on pop watch! My mom is ordering my crib this week too! She is sending out the shower invites tomorrow so will see some registry action soon I'm sure. How exciting and yes things are getting real!
How far along are you? 28 weeks-officially in 3rd trimester!
How big is baby? He is an eggplant
Upcoming appointments this week? I had one on Monday and did my glucose test and iron test. Should have results by the end of the week. Dr says everything else is on track and looking good!
Any new symptoms or changes? Still dealing with leaky boobs, mostly at night. I had to buy some sleeping nursing bras so I can wear nursing pads at night. I'm not a fan of wearing a bra at night, but I'm also not a fan of waking up with a wet t shirt every night. Heartburn happens pretty often also.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I love feeling this boy kicking and moving around! I also have an anterior placenta, so I am really enjoying this!
GTKY: Which parent are you closer to? This is tough, but I'd have to say as I've gotten older, I'm closer with my mom.
