1) How far along are you? How big is baby?

26 weeks, bunch of kale

2) How are you feeling? Any cravings?

Pretty fatigued. Not as bad as last week though. I had a burst of energy we'dnesday night and cleaned my kitchen and living room. Haven't been able to clean anything else.

3) Any appointments this week?
glucose screening on the 20th

4) How are your baby preparations going? (Nursery/ Registry/ Etc.)

We are clearing the room this weekend. It's been a guest bedroom for 3 years so moving the bed up to the bonus room. I'm gonna paint her chest of drawers and clean well in there. We'll also get the paint and bedding soon. Things are starting to move, especially when I think about my 3rd trimester is basically here.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?

DD is being super clingy this week. It makes me scared for when this baby arrives. But trying to soak up her cuddles and love while she's the only one.

6) GTKY: What whatcha doing this weekend?
our weather is beautiful right now. We are planning to clean the garage out and then just hang out together. We need some family time. Also, I'll watch my team Saturday! Roll tide!

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 25 +1 weeks, Napa cabbage or cantaloupe. Jumping in on the Friday train!

2) How are you feeling? Any cravings? Feeling ok, just exhausted! No real cravings except for everything sugar.

3) Any appointments this week? Nope

4) How are your baby preparations going? (Nursery/ Registry/ Etc.) Going well! The crib and dresser were delivered and assembled last week (thanks DH!), so all the furniture is now in place. We just need to hang things up on the walls and organize the dresser, and then we'll be basically done! Registry is in place too- I have a small work shower next week then my big family/friends shower later in the month.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave- I'm loving all the baby kicks and movements, and the fact that DH can feel the kicks pretty regularly! Also, I had my first childbirth class at the hospital I'm delivering at last night, so that was equal parts exciting/terrifying!

6) GTKY: What whatcha doing this weekend? No big plans. DH is going is out of town, so I'll take it easy and decorate the house for fall. If I have the energy (hooray, naps!) I'll go to the Just Between Friends consignment sale going on this weekend. I'll try to restrain myself so that I don't buy too much before my showers!

dkizz82 · September 2017

@hellothere47 glad you joined us again. So excited for your showers. Those were so much fun with DD. I'm kinda jealous I won't have one this time.

Yay for fall and childbirth class. Isn't it crazy how close we're getting to December?

kyrwyn · September 2017

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 28 weeks. I don't know but I made it to 3rd Tri!!!

2) How are you feeling? Any cravings? Since starting my GD diet, I am literally never hungry. There is always a required snack due before I get cravings for anything. Feeling physically okay, and emotionally a bit beat up. But getting better.

3) Any appointments this week? I did my insulin start yesterday with the GD nurse, other than that it's been quiet. GD clinic next week, and then an OB appointment on the 19th.

4) How are your baby preparations going? (Nursery/ Registry/ Etc.) Slowly but surely. We're going to try and move the computery office stuff out of the nursery this weekend and build baby's other bookshelf. The target is to have the room ready for the crib & rocking chair after the shower (23 Sept) because the parents want to drop these things off.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Tonight we're going to our first Broadway San Diego show. We bought season tickets (so that we could get tickets to Hamilton in January). I'm super excited for the show, anxious about juggling my GD testing/exercise/eating with a grown up night out, and sort of eh about climbing a billion stairs to get to our seats. But I think it's good that we've got things to do that aren't 100% about baby, baby-prep or GD right now.

6) GTKY: What whatcha doing this weekend? Musical tonight, nursery prep this weekend, a friend's birthday / going away party tomorrow, and possibly ... and these are big plans, ladies .. a NAP.

dkizz82 · September 2017

@kyrwyn absolutely. We asked dh's parents to watch DD while we cleaned the garage. But I planned that around nap time. I'm not missing my weekend naps. Kinda live for them.

beary67 · September 2017

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 27 weeks, Lettuce x 2

2) How are you feeling? Any cravings? I'm feeling good. My body is a bit sore when getting out of bed and off the couch. Being on bed rest is starting to get a little boring, but I will do what it takes. Today is 5 weeks exactly since being placed on modified bed rest.

3) Any appointments this week? I met with the Gestational Diabetes team yesterday and meet with them again on Monday. I started insulin yesterday and do 4 injections a day right now. Next week I also have an ultrasound and appointment with the MFM and an appointment with the cardiologist.

4) How are your baby preparations going? (Nursery/ Registry/ Etc.) Nursery is all set minus the shutters which will be here on Wednesday. The room has a big window and then two smaller windows on the side. Since we are putting 2 cribs in the space, one is near the window and I don't want to put curtains there due to the risk of SIDS. I think the shutters will be perfect with the room.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? NA

6) GTKY: What whatcha doing this weekend? My nephew turns 4 today so I get to break out of the house to go over while they do cake and ice cream tonight and then back on Sunday for his actual party. Saturday I will be watching football all day!

katiegeminimoon · September 2017

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 28 weeks! Eggplant. Hello third tri!

2) How are you feeling? Any cravings? Starting to have pretty consistent back and hip pain.

3) Any appointments this week? I'm at every 2 week appointments now. Everything seemed good today! Third try at the anatomy scan in 2 weeks.

4) How are your baby preparations going? (Nursery/ Registry/ Etc.) Great! The nursery is coming along nicely. My registry has been done for awhile. Shower on the 30th! Shit is getting real, haha.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? My OB office told me today they don't do any vaccinations so I have to go to a Kroger or CVS clinic to get my tdap and flu shot. Wtf Paul?!

6) GTKY: What whatcha doing this weekend?
Tomorrow we have DH's little sisters birthday party, she is 11. Then we have a super hillbilly (no joke, they are so proud) wedding to go to. I hope it's not too hot out, it's all outdoors. Sunday we are going to a wildlife rescue type place to play with baby tigers and maybe a baby sloth! I am so excited!!!

atack · September 2017

I'm 28 weeks!!! I cannot believe it!!!

PoeMasque · September 2017

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 27 weeks, 2lbs!!

2) How are you feeling? Any cravings? Super uncomfortable by the end of the day, as if my belly is trying to separate from my body. Doesn't help that this little guy is trying his hardest to escape butt-first out of the side of my stomach. Also, I suddenly can't sleep past 2:30am. Boo!

3) Any appointments this week? nope, nothing until the 19th

4) How are your baby preparations going? (Nursery/ Registry/ Etc.) They are going ok registry has been done for a while, showers are set for 10/22 and 10/29. I plan to paint the crib and changing table this weekend and the nursery will get painted next weekend. Then it's just stuff like hanging art and picking out a rug.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? My fiancé was supposed to spearhead a bathroom remodel project months ago. He finally scheduled contractors this week to give bids....surprise, surprise, no one can meet our "done before December" deadline. He also continues to spend his weekends playing computer games when I've been asking him for MONTHS to help me clean out the garage. Now I'm to the point where I physically can't help him (kudos to you @dkizz82 for still being able to tackle a garage clean out!!). He has done next to nothing to help me prepare for baby. Lord help him as I enter the "too pregnant to give a crap about anyone's feelings" phase.....

6) GTKY: What whatcha doing this weekend?
Tomorrow I have a baby shower for a coworker and, if the shower doesn't go too late, I can finally go to a prenatal water class I've been missing. Then it's painting the crib, which feels like the last big task to check off my list!

kyrwyn · September 2017

I made it to intermission at the play last night, and then I told DH I was falling-down-dead tired and we went home. He was also secretly exhausted. We got home, he made my bedtime snack while I did my meds and we made it to all of 1030 before passing out. Is it sad that I consider this a successful date night after the past two weeks?

dkizz82 · September 2017

@PoeMasque let's be real. I'm just here to boss. I mean to help him organize

Marley629 · September 2017

I'm trying to play catch up! Been a busy few days

1) How far along are you? How big is baby?

26+2 today. He's as big as Kale

2) How are you feeling? Any cravings?
In pain today - on a scale of 10, I'd say 8 or 9; sciatica pain is really out of control right now but it also didn't help that I was on my feet ALL day Friday night and yesterday (see weekend plans). So I'm hoping taking it easy today will help. Right now I'm just craving meat. All the meat.

3) Any appointments this week?
none for me until the following week

4) How are your baby preparations going? (Nursery/ Registry/ Etc.)

So so. As soon as we move into new house (by end of month) I can really start preparing

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?

6) GTKY: What whatcha doing this weekend?

i was in my friends wedding so between rehearsal on Friday and the wedding yesterday I am spent. It was so great catching up with old friends though. The wedding was beautiful - it was outside on a huge farm but that involved a lot of walking - pictures included jumping and running all while wearing cowboy boots. I did well most of the day but by the reception I couldn't walk without a noticeable waddle. Today we have a BBQ at inlaws and I plan on sitting with my feet up most of the day
