How big is baby? Celery
Any upcoming appointments this week?
Another on Friday since I've been having these intense & close contractions every few days.
Any new symptoms or cravings this week?
We decided to go to the Outlets yesterday in 90° humid weather. Bad idea as My hands and feet swelled up for the first time this pregnancy.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Eager to get back the results from my FFN test today. Hoping it will be negative so I can relax a little bit about this baby coming too early.
GTKY: (Stealing this from Friday's) what's the worst date that you've been on?
The summer after my freshman year of college, I broke up with my 3+ year boyfriend and tried to date other guys in an attempt to "find myself" or make sure we weren't together just because we had been since we were 16. I went out with a guy I worked with at the time and we went to dinner at a Wild Wings. When ordering, I told him (as I tell everyone) that I hate spicy food and can't do anything remotely spicy. He replied that what he chose "wasn't that bad" ::eye roll::. I'm super awkward in situations like that and once the food came I tried to eat it but couldn't and he noticed and said "omg you were being serious I'm so sorry!". He continued to eat while I just sat there. I went home hungry that night and for some reason saw him a few more times before deciding he wasn't for me lol
How far along are you? 32 weeks
How big is baby? A deerstalker hat aka a Sherlock Holmes hat
Upcoming appointments this week? Thursday for my check-up. They'll probably pay closer attention to my weight and baby's size since my sugar levels weren't the greatest.
Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? Nothing really new or changing other than my noticeable lack of endurance. I move and walk a lot at work and I've had to start taking more regular sit down breaks to avoid cramping
Rants/Raves/Questions? I still can't believe that we're getting so close! I go through waves of feeling totally prepared and totally freaking out!
GTKY: (Stealing this from Friday's) what's the worst date that you've been on? Honestly, I don't have one that jumps out. My ex in high school sucked so I basically could say every date with him? Haha
@mokay19 I hear you on the freak out waves. Some days I'm ready to go and some days I'm feeling so unprepared!
AFM-
How far along are you? 30 weeks
How big is baby? Zucchini
Any upcoming appointments this week? Not till next Monday
Any new symptoms or cravings this week? I've been having more stiffness when I wake up around my hip area and right below as well as some upper sciatic pain. I need to be more vigilant about stretching!
Rants/Raves/Questions? Nothing this week!
GTKY: (Stealing this from Friday's) what's the worst date that you've been on? Can't say I've been on a bad date, guess I've been lucky!
@szwill86 agree on the pain/stiffness when waking up and trying to move. I also need to work on stretching every day.
How far along are you? 31 weeks
How big is baby? I've stopped paying attention now that I can feel baby's whole body so have a better idea.
Any upcoming appointments this week? Just had one today. Went well
No arrhythmia detected. I had been a little worried I wasn't gaining enough weight but their scale showed a higher number than mine putting me right around the 1/2 lb. per week mark.
Any new symptoms or cravings this week? Just not into eating even though I'm hungrier than I've ever been. Trying to keep it up.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Excited to be able to use the completion bonuses on my registries soon. The last big thing we need to get the nursery ready is the crib mattress but it doesn't make sense to buy it without the discount so I've been holding off. It looks like everything I want is in stock so I'll probably be doing that after my work shower on Thursday.
GTKY: (Stealing this from Friday's) what's the worst date that you've been on? I've only dated DH and we started dating in high school so nothing that bad comes to mind. He did convince me to sneak into an R rated movie (something dumb like 40 year old virgin I think) when I was a few months from being 17 (and he was already 18). I look super young so they noticed and made us go to the movie we'd bought tickets for...I think it was Flight Plan?? I was super embarrassed b/c I am an uptight rule follower lol.
@kvh22 so glad to hear that there remain no signs of the arrhythmia!
@Kathryn0903 when did you get your BRU certificate? I know the 10% earned back money comes 12 weeks after our due date but would love a 20% off instead. My due date is Aug 21 so that's what I entered. For Amazon, it's 60 days before which is this Thursday.
@mokay19 thanks! I'm so relieved
