3) Have you settled on baby's name? How is the nursery coming along? Beverly Ann! Nursery is coming along but we decided to return the dresser because it looked like a nightmare to assemble. DH said he'd rather pay extra to buy one that's already put together. Other than that, we have the crib, changing table, glider, and a small bookshelf. Just need to fill the room with stuff and decor and we're in business.
6) GTKY: Who is someone you follow in Social Media that you look forward to their posts daily? Has that changed since becoming pregnant? Hmm not sure. As far as celebrities go, I love Daphne Oz from the Chew. She's pregnant with baby#3 and due around the same time as me/us, so it's fun to see her posts and see where she's at.

Great.
3) Have you settled on baby's name? How is the nursery coming along?
Not really a rant or a rave- but for the first time I saw someone do a double take at my belly. Like they were trying to decide if I was preggo. haha. Wahoo I guess it's starting to get noticeable haha.

Not really anyone in particular. Family and friends... and hasn't changed.
1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
29 weeks, size of a Care Bear
Went to sleep with back pain and woke up without, so that's a huge win in my book. I caulked some crown moulding a couple days ago and getting up and down the ladder really did a number on whatever muscle is inside my knees.
3) Have you settled on baby's name? How is the nursery coming along?
We both like Thatcher, but are keeping it a secret and telling people "LeBron James, Jr." and "Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Jr." Trip to Ikea tomorrow to get some drawer organization and bookshelves.
Had my glucose test on Monday. They haven't called yet, so I'm assuming all systems are go. It's going to be weird seeing the doc/midwife every other week now.
Rave - I dropped the caulking gun off the aforementioned ladder and hubby came running to make sure I was ok. First time he's rushed to help me when I make a loud noise.
Rant - I tried to give myself a pedicure yesterday and it seems I can no longer reach my toes comfortably.
6) GTKY: Who is someone you follow in Social Media that you look forward to their posts daily? Has that changed since becoming pregnant?
This is the only social media I take part in, so I can't really comment.
@balletnerd Fx for your placenta too!!
1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
28 weeks - eggplant, 1lb of wings? That one seems weird since she should def be more than 1lb right now!
Good, tired. The usual haha. My vag is perpetually swollen, though epsom salt baths seem to help, which DH hates because they use so much water. I might invest in a sitz bath, any idea where to get one?
3) Have you settled on baby's name? How is the nursery coming along?
I have a list but DH doesn't like any of them, but I can't get them out of my head.
Lynn, Lou, Louisa, Katrin, Jo
There is no nursery to be spoken of yet haha, though we are planning on setting it up within our room anyway
Midwife last week, already reported on that lol nothing else for 2 more weeks
I just wish DH would take picking a name seriously, I mean we're 3rd tri now, she *technically* could come any day!
I am extra excited to be 28 weeks because that is my personal "viability" cut off. Up until this point I probably would not have resuscitated the baby should she have come early, but now I would. So that's a big milestone for me!
6) GTKY: Who is someone you follow in Social Media that you look forward to their posts daily? Has that changed since becoming pregnant?
Chontel Duncan is a personal trainer/gym owner in Australia who is currently 39 weeks pregnant. She's been in the news because she has abs while pregnant. I follow her Snapchat and she's actually a pretty cool person and I can't wait to see her new babe! I also thoroughly enjoy Chrissy Teigen's posts. She's awesome!
3) Have you settled on baby's name? How is the nursery coming along? Yes, baby girl will be Nora. No nursery for her just yet. She'll bunk with us in the rock n play / pack and play for a while and we are likely going to be moving closer to family this spring/summer.
6) GTKY: Who is someone you follow in Social Media that you look forward to their posts daily? Has that changed since becoming pregnant? Someone randomly told me that DS looked like he could have been a 4th to a group of triplets on IG and I started following her - I think it's Little Owens Family or something like that? They're about the same age (mine is 18 months) and she's super real about parenthood and reminds me that I have it way easier with just one lol.

3) Have you settled on baby's name? How is the nursery coming along? I *think* so ... but I can't really really commit until I meet this babe. I'll refer anyone to last week's post lol - nursery is full of kitchen cabinets to be installed. Good news - hardwood floors going into the kitchen this weekend! I did do some carseat research since we'll be attempting to fit three in the back seat of my Subaru Outback, and made a "registry" on Target.com. I'm not having a baby shower, it's really just a collection of the few items I do need (so I can get a little discount on them), and I'll probably send it to my mom or anyone else who asks if there's anything I need. So for now that's as far as my nursery can really progress.
6) GTKY: Who is someone you follow in Social Media that you look forward to their posts daily? Has that changed since becoming pregnant? I've been following Birthfit, I discovered them through Steph Gaudreau's Women's Strength Summit this past spring and they have a lot of great blogs on pregnancy and workouts for moms to be. Really an cool organization overall.
3) Have you settled on baby's name? How is the nursery coming along? Still going with 'Poor Nameless Baby'. We are making zero progress.
6) GTKY: Who is someone you follow in Social Media that you look forward to their posts daily? Has that changed since becoming pregnant? I have an unreasonable love for Ed Sheeran. I'm almost old enough to be his mom. But I live and breathe everything he says.
OMG I DESPISE BIRTHFIT
They spread some really bad messaging and actually give terrible pregnancy exercise advice. They have stolen a lot of their stuff from one of my mentors without credit and it is super frustrating for her because they are misconstruing her information and causing damage to many women. It's organizations like that , that give chiropractors a bad name (they are all chiropractors, NOT trained fitness professionals)
@andipandicWed121369
I was freaking out about ~12 weeks, 10 might send me over the edge haha
Not too bad.. still have my sore back.. not sleeping great at night.. today was tough. I think someone told me not to go to a funeral while pregnant - not something you can always avoid.. but yes.. if possible, don't let anyone pass away while you're pregnant. I was a mess at a funeral today.. but I got to be a pallbearer, so that was pretty cool.
3) Have you settled on baby's name? How is the nursery coming along?
Felix Robin William - my mother-in-law hasn't been told the name yet. We were at her house and she mentioned that her daughter has a friend who named their son Felix and she couldn't get over that someone would pick the name felix.. That it must have been a family name b/c it was so old.
I played it cool, said I liked the name, but if I was going to go with an old name, I'd pick the name Ephraim (great-grandpa's name, although I never met him). MIL stared at me blankly and said she'd never heard of that name or that it was a name. DH's grandma who was also there chuckled and agreed, that it was an old name. HAHA! I got a kick out of that conversation.. but the name Ephraim has been on my mind a lot lately.. so weird.
I haven't worked on the nursery.. we keep getting hand-me-downs, which is awesome, I've just been dumping them in the room. My SIL & her boyfriend are amazing artists.. they spoiled me and painted most of the mural.. since then, I haven't had the motivation to continue on my own lol. We're buying a crib this week or next.
GD appointment yesterday, hopefully everything comes back clear. My sugar crashed HUGE about 4 or 5 hours after taking the drink.
I had my birthing class Saturday. It was boring.. I'm still waiting for an appointment time with my doula..
I don't think I have any this week
6) GTKY: Who is someone you follow in Social Media that you look forward to their posts daily? Has that changed since becoming pregnant?
I follow Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day) and his wife on Twitter, they are just such cool down to earth people. I love that they've been married for 24 years, not something you see in Hollywood.
I started following Girls Gone Strong. They talk a bit about exercising during pregnancy, pelvic floor and diastis recti. I'm definitely interested in learning more!
@dilbert890 I LOVE the Girls Gone Strong. Everything I've seen from them have been such wonderful messages for women and moms to be. They are really passionate about their brand and empowering women.
3) Have you settled on baby's name? How is the nursery coming along? no, we haven't, and the nursery needs a lot of work!
6) GTKY: Who is someone you follow in Social Media that you look forward to their posts daily? Has that changed since becoming pregnant? I mostly follow friends and family, but on Insta, I like @testkitchen and @shutterbean and @pregnantchicken . I don't think it's changed much, but I do AWWW more at the baby brands I follow (mostly for giveaways).
