Monday
4. Any new symptoms?
Constant lightning crotch. Feeling achy today bc we went to the fireworks last night and i did too much walking.
5. Rants/ Raves/ Questions?
So incredibly happy that I hit the 34 week milestone! My SILs baby shower is in two weeks, so my next goal is to get through that. Then, baby can come any day!
6. GTKY: If you could have one do over in your life, what would it be?
As much as I loved my wedding day, I would love a do-over. MIL kept her dress a big secret, it ended up being a white gown, and she performed by singing beauty and the beast. If I could do it over again, I would have put my foot down and insisted that there were to be no surprises bc it was not her day, it was mine and DHs.
2. How big is baby? Scooter board haha
3. Any upcoming appointments this week? Thursday!
4. Any new symptoms? More BH contractions at night time. Starting to feel short of breath occasionally
5. Rants/ Raves/ Questions? Getting up out of bed is the worst. I feel like a turtle stuck on my shell trying to roll over!
6. GTKY: If you could have one do over in your life, what would it be? Probably my sophomore year of college. I was partying too hard. Had strep 4 times and caught mono. I missed a week of school and ended up having my tonsils out at the end of that year. I did meet DH at the end of that year so I'll keep that part!
@kristenk727 your MIL sounds like a piece of work. That is so terrible that she wore white to your wedding. People have no tact! I had one girl wear a cream dress (her wording, not mine) to my wedding and I wanted to kill her. But she looked terrible and it was a November wedding so she really had no reason to be wearing white!
1. How far along are you? 32 weeks
2. How big is baby? Head of lettuce
3. Any upcoming appointments this week? Monday!
4. Any new symptoms? Nothing new
5. Rants/ Raves/ Questions? I started wearing compression socks a few days this week since I was in the car traveling quite a bit this week for work. They really helped!
6. GTKY: If you could have one do over in your life, what would it be? I would have bought a house sooner. My DH and I had a long distance relationship the majority of our dating life before marriage. I wish I would have bought a house to build some equity up before we bought our first house together. Other than that I'm quite pleased with the way life has turned out so far!
33 weeks
2. How big is baby?
head of Celery
3. Any upcoming appointments this week?
34 week appointment on Friday
4. Any new symptoms?
I've started waking up in the middle of the night now. Whether it's to go to bathroom or because indigestion.
5. Rants/ Raves/ Questions?
I am just tired of being uncomfortable and I know I'm only going to get bigger
6. GTKY: If you could have one do over in your life, what would it be?
i would have followed my gut and changed my major before graduating with my first degree. I got so caught up in trying to please people and struggled to finish a degree that I only used for a couple months because I couldn't take it anymore. Now I'm back in school and still going to try classes in the fall after LO arrives.
33 weeks
2. How big is baby?
Celery
3. Any upcoming appointments this week?
Nothing this week
4. Any new symptoms?
Pelvic pain never stops
5. Rants/ Raves/ Questions?
I'm loving the crazy amount of alien movement in my belly. I already miss being pregnant! I want to slow down a bit - also because I'm not getting floors done until the end of the month so I won't be starting the nursery until August
6. GTKY: If you could have one do over in your life, what would it be?
I can't think of anything...
2. How big is baby? head of lettuce
3. Any upcoming appointments this week? None this week, Had our checkup last week after we had the trip to L&D for contractions. Everything is looking good and I just need to let them know if the contractions start getting painful and last for more than 2 hours at a time.
4. Any new symptoms?
More heartburn and now that baby is bigger and moving around like he's auditioning for Riverdance, some of his kicks are really starting to feel unpleasant.
5. Rants/ Raves/ Questions?
Rant- I was sooo emotional yesterday, I probably cried like 7 times throughout the day. My DH and I got off to a rough start yesterday with a stupid fight and I just felt so sad and weepy about it for the rest of the day. Ugh, it was rough. Rave- We had an appt and tour with our pediatric office today and it went soo well! The nurses are great and we love the practice. Got all of our questions answered too and now we can finally check that off the list.
6. GTKY: If you could have one do over in your life, what would it be?
I don't know if I have a specific event or decision that I would go back and change. Most of my early/mid 20's I worried about everything and had anxiety about so much stuff that it really affected my life and the people around me. I finally got better once I put things into perspective but I wish I could go back and tell my younger self to stress less and that everything will work out in the end.
2. How big is baby? Basketball hoop or Cabbage
3. Any upcoming appointments this week? I have a regular OB appointment Thursday. If everything is well, I'll see him in another 2 weeks. Then it will be weekly appointments until my scheduled c-section
4. Any new symptoms? Nothing new really. Just some weird strange cramps I'm having. I think it's just due to his position. They get better once I lay down.
5. Rants/ Raves/ Questions? Nothing. I just really don't remember it being "this uncomfortable/hard" last time. My DH just said I must have forgot but he hasn't. Haha.
6. GTKY: If you could have one do over in your life, what would it be? Be more focused in college. Have more of that college experience. I started dating my DH my sophomore year of college. He was working back home and would come up and stay with me during the week. I moved out of the dorms and stayed in an apartment. I wish I had more of the experience then just hanging out in my room all the time.
This one is sitting so much lower than my last and that is what is uncomfortable to me.
2. How big is baby? butternut squash
3. Any upcoming appointments this week? no
4. Any new symptoms? no
5. Rants/ Raves/ Questions? I want DH to stop starting new projects until he finishes the ones he is working on.
6. GTKY: If you could have one do over in your life, what would it be? I try not to focus on what could have been. There is a great Ted talk called the Paradox of Choice, and I highly recommend it. That is not to say I can't name something I would do over I just try not to focus on them.
