Re: STM+ check in 6/16
How many other children do you have?
I have a DS who is 5 and a DD who is 21 months
How far along are you?
33w1d
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?
My Lower back is absolutely killing me by the end of the day and my swollen sausage legs/feet aren't helping. At the end of the day I am in bed with my feet propped. The most comfortable position I have found is on my back with a pillow propped under my right hip. This helps because I am not on my back directly but the pressure is off of my hips.
I am also having a ton of BH contractions and they have mostly been at night but have been starting to pop up throughout the day. This can only mean one thing: we are getting closer!
Cravings: This week it has been pizza roll-ups and dreamsicles. Also Ice water and gatorade for drinks! I had a dream last weekend about a cream slush and drove across town to get one. Hella worth it.
Any appointments this week?
My 34 week check up is next week. I am super close to weekly appointments!
Rant/Rave/Questions
My DH has been a rockstar. I am so grumpy by the end of dinner and if my son has a Tee Ball game I am awful. He just laughs it off and loves me the same. He pretty much takes care of the kids while I lay in bed. God love him!
GTKY: What fictional place would you most like to go?
Hogwarts hands down! I am a huge HP fan and this would be amazing. I have still not made it to the WWoHP at Universal but I can't wait for that Vacay!
How many other children do you have?
2 yr old DD
How far along are you? 32 weeks today
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?
Heartburn, very tired and irritable, sore back. Pretty similar to last time, luckily for the most part this time around I'm not having as bad of insomnia as I did with my daughter.
Cravings:
Nothing much, I'm actually not feeling hungry much at all and have to force myself to keep up on food.
Any appointments this week? I have my 32 week appt in about 2 hours
Rant/Rave/Questions- my husband is sick...again...for like the 5th time this pregnancy. And he's definitely the poster child for the Man flu when he's sick.
GTKY: What fictional place would you most like to go?
+1 Hogwarts
How many other children do you have? 1, DS will be 2 next week
How far along are you? 32 weeks today

GTKY: What fictional place would you most like to go? Ummm, I can't think of anywhere, I know Hawaii is real, but every time we watch Moana I want to be there.

One, DS turned 2 last month.
How far along are you?
31weeks 6 days
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?
Lots of aches and pains, irritable uterus, and peeing nonstop. As long as baby stays cooking in there for another 5-6 weeks, I can suck it up though!
Cravings:
Milkshakes and Ritas Ice.

I go Monday for my 32 week checkup.

How many other children do you have? 2
How far along are you? 30 weeks
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies? RLP, fatigue, some Braxton Hicks. Probably about the same as the previous pregnancies though I think the RLP is worse this time. My belly band helps some especially at work.
Cravings: Watermelon!!! And Kit Kats
Any appointments this week? Had my 30w appt this past week. Nothing this upcoming week except for my progesterone shot
Rant/Rave/Questions: Sometimes I get really jealous of people who can come home from work and just relax and put their feet up. I feel like I can't rest until the kids are in bed and then I'm seriously pooped.
GTKY: What fictional place would you most like to go? I agree with @SouthernMama15 - I'd love to visit the setting of Moana. So beautiful!

How many other children do you have? 2 daughters, 5 and 2
How far along are you? 31 weeks tomorrow
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies? +1 for constant BH that I have to breathe through, the evening nausea has returned and my brain just can't focus/multi-function at all
Cravings: veggies and dip, salads with unhealthy dressings, first tri drinks like lemonade and gingerale
Any appointments this week? Nope
Rant/Rave/Questions I am starting to feel like this is getting close/real and am so surprised by the emotions I'm having (ranging from a "kid at Christmas" excitement to total fear/denial of baby making his way out). I would expect to be more cool, calm and collected the third time around
GTKY: What fictional place would you most like to go? This isn't really fictional, but I wish time travel was real!
DD#1: 5/29/12

2 boys - 8 and almost 5.
How far along are you?
29+6
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?
Heartburn and insomnia are probably my biggest annoyances right now.
Cravings:
Fruit and sweet stuff in general. Unfortunately, I need to watch my sugar/carb intake.
Any appointments this week?
I had an appointment yesterday and don't go back for another 2 weeks.
Rant/Rave/Questions
Not baby related, but I'm so annoyed that 2/3 of DS2's daycare class hasn't RSVP'd to his party and the reply by date is tomorrow. I know I'm terrible about responding so I really shouldn't complain, but this is ridiculous. I get that the summer is busy, but I would've thought there would be a somewhat decent turnout. It's his first friends party and I feel bad that most of the kids probably aren't coming.
GTKY: What fictional place would you most like to go?
I think ever since I saw the original movie, I always wanted to go to Willie Wonka's chocolate factory. Clearly I have a sweet tooth.
How many other children do you have? 1 (3 yr old DD)
How far along are you? 33+3
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies? Waking up with burping acid. I've been going through Tums like crazy at night.
Cravings: Since it's been so hot, ice cream
Any appointments this week? Had one Wednesday.
Rant/Rave/Questions: If I have a RCS, we have it all figured out as to who will come take care of DD but if a VBAC, I have lots of uncertainty about how that'll all work with DD. We have friends that'll help but I'm just nervous about it for some reason.
GTKY: What fictional place would you most like to go? The location in Avatar.

Rant/Rave/Questions? When did you go into labor last time? And when are you planning on having everything ready this time? I went into labor at 40+5 and am thinking of having everything ready at 38 this time just to give myself a little buffer.
GTKY: What fictional place would you most like to go? I was going to say Avatar like @bumpybump but for my alternative choice I think I would like to go to Rivendell from Lord of the Rings.

I have this nagging feeling that I will go into labor at 38 weeks.
@brookedeyo I think the car seat is what I am most worried about since it such a pain to install, but I don't want to give up car space until I have to.
@MetsGirl18 It makes me feel better that you were able to do at the last minute. We are 10 mins from the hospital so if we forget anything it is not the end of the world.
@morgy_bee I don't want to pack some of my clothes too, which is one of the biggest reasons I don't want to put it together now.
I think I will pack what I can and then have a list of everything else I need so I can finish while in labor if I need to.
