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

32 weeks! Baby is as big as... squash, a pommelo, a Jansport backpack, or a naked-toed armadillo.

2) How are you feeling?
Physically I'm feeling pretty good this week... I even clipped my own toenails this morning, I was so impressed (and winded)! But emotionally drained from the rough weekend (but I don't feel like bursting into tears anymore, so yay for that).

3) What foods/drinks/habits do you miss the most & can't wait to resume once baby arrives?

I miss the hell out of raw cookie dough & brownie batter (I'm terrible, I know), lots of highly-caffeinated coffee to wake me up in the morning, white wine, and grapefruit vodka martinis! (And of course because I plan to BF, not even sure when I'll be able to drink booze again.)

4) Any appointments this week/last?

Last week's check-in went very well, though once again their stupid scale LIED! (My appt was at 4 in the afternoon and as usual they weighed me before the urine test, so.... thumbs down to that number.)

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
At first my OB said my GBS test would be next appt, but then she said she thinks it might be the one after next, so I'm confused and not excited for that. I have a hard enough time with a pap every 2-3 years, this whole experience (including all the times with Wanda during IF) has been an upsetting welcome-mat for people hanging out near my nethers.

6) GTKY: What was the last movie you saw in theaters? What's your favorite movie of all time (or top 5, if you're like me)?
Last movie DH & I went to see was It (SO good!), and my top 5 favorite movies are (in no particular order, and entirely mood-based): The Wizard of Oz, Crazy Stupid Love, Requiem for a Dream, The Break-Up & Halloween (the original)

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 32 weeks, squash? Idk I stopped paying attention to the comparisons since she has been bigger than them for a while. Last week she was 3 lbs 15 oz so this week I'm sure she's over 4 lbs.

2) How are you feeling? large and not in charge.. heartburn, no quaility sleep, pee all the time.. typical stuff so I suppose that's good!

3) What foods/drinks/habits do you miss the most & can't wait to resume once baby arrives? I want my ibuprofen..maybe some NyQuil..and I want to sleep on my stomach!

4) Any appointments this week/last? weekly appointment today, hope it goes better than last week.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? when does doctor usually start doing pelvic exams to check uterus, the last month?

6) GTKY: What was the last movie you saw in theaters? What's your favorite movie of all time (or top 5, if you're like me)? ohh boy it's been a while. I think the last movie I went to was the second 50 shades movie I dragged my husband to on Valentine's day. My favorite movie of all time is dirty dancing!

kersey0208 · October 2017

@djd0404 I forgot about GBS.. I'll have to remember to ask my OB today when I have to do that. So fun....not! Yay for 32 weeks! Glad you're feeling better! Mmm cookie dough sounds good lol.

mdcd44127 · October 2017

@kersey0208 Oh man, I forgot about beautiful, beautiful Ibuprofen!! I'm thinking "Santa" might leave me a big bottle of Motrin with a bow on it, haha. And definitely +1 on the stomach sleep, this side-sleeping BS is killing me.

wabash15 · October 2017

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 29 weeks. um a framed photo...

2) How are you feeling? for the most part Ok. they typical aches and pains, frequent peeing and swollen feet but its not terrible

3) What foods/drinks/habits do you miss the most & can't wait to resume once baby arrives? I am not a huge drinker typically but man I have been craving wine and beer. other than that it hasn't been such a big deal giving up the other stuff. +1 to missing ibuprofen and sleeping flat on my back guilt free... that is what i miss most.

4) Any appointments this week/last? I had a check up last week all looked good so nothing for several more weeks.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? not much. We moved the twins to toddler beds this weekend and it was not a total disaster so that's a win. DH is off today and setting up the crib for the new baby... which means that the room will be pretty much done other than some sort of window covering and the art work on the walls.

6) GTKY: What was the last movie you saw in theaters? What's your favorite movie of all time (or top 5, if you're like me)? ummm what was it called... magical beasts... or something like that. its been close to a year. ohhh my favorite movie of all time... that's hard. I like the HP series... a league of their own, love actually, firefly, bull durham, breakfast club....

@djd0404 no judgment on the raw cookie dough or Brownie batter... I mean thats the whole reason to make that stuff, right?!? I try hard not to look at the scale... I don't want to believe I actually weigh that much... I think IF has made me not give a F*** about down stairs... I still remember with the twins the first appointment I got to keep my pants on and I was so confuse... like I'm not sure how to see a doctor with my pants on, wait you don't have to stick the ultrasound up there any more?!?... it was a whole new world!
@kersey0208 I think the earliest they might start is 37 weeks but its usually closer to 38 though you can always turn it down if you don't want to know.

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 29 weeks, acorn squash

2) How are you feeling? I had gone a week without throwing up, until yesterday. So that was great then less so bc I didn't sprint to the bathroom fast enough and had a disaster to clean up. Back and hips both hurt a lot but ice helps so I will live.

3) What foods/drinks/habits do you miss the most & can't wait to resume once baby arrives? I really want a margarita. Also, any pain reliever other than acetaminophen would be incredible. Also, I want to lift everything and not have anyone say "you shouldn't be doing that!"

4) Any appointments this week/last? Ultrasound today, measuring in the 44th percentile so I'm happy about that.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? rant: My fluid was on the low end of normal today, but I am perpetually dehydrated because I can't keep plain water down. I read there is a correlation between my level of dehydration and my fluid, so I need to remember to try and pound some gatorades prior to my 36 week growth scan.

6) GTKY: What was the last movie you saw in theaters? What's your favorite movie of all time (or top 5, if you're like me)? DH and I saw the new Tom Cruise movie American Made last week. Recommended. Some favorite movies include everything Marvel Avengers, Star Wars (original 3, new new ones), LOTR & Hobbit(s), HPs, and some guilty pleasures like Footloose and Tremors.

@djd0404 I am so very with you on missing the booze.

@kersey0208 I really hope your appointment today went better than the last. Was your mom able to go? Did she help deflect that NST drama you were hoping she could?

@wabash15 So with you on back sleeping. I wake up every night on my back short of breath and pause just one second (savoring) before hoisting myself up and to the bathroom. I'd even sleep on my stomach at this point. My hips just hurt awful and I feel like I have to switch sides every 30 minutes which means very little deep sleep!

kersey0208 · October 2017

@wabash15 I somehow remembered to ask today and she told me I get to start with the GBS week 36 then pelvic exams everytime after that.
@kln62689 yes it went a lot better! Thanks for asking

I was so thankful to have my mom there. Hopefully my husband can come next week and maybe they can rotate. It's just getting too stressful to do it alone. But I was able to complete the NST and it looked great. Ultrasound was also good! Hope you can have another good week without getting sick and keep those fluids down! Sending positive vibes your way!

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

31 weeks-bunch of asparagus

2) How are you feeling?
good, some low back pain occasionally.

3) What foods/drinks/habits do you miss the most & can't wait to resume once baby arrives?

Stomach sleeping for sure! Also ibuprofen. More than one cup of coffee. Runny egg yolks and sushi with wild abandon!

4) Any appointments this week/last?

Had an ultrasound last week--baby looked great but we couldn't see her head (it was too low). Her soine looked perfect as did her heart.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
TMI: I've been having mucus-like discharge lately. Dr. Google says this is normal. Anyone else? I don't remember this from DD.

Rave: I had the day off yesterday and got a lot done. It was fab. It was even better since we went to a wedding on Sunday, so getting a bonus day to relax after a fun party was extra great!

ETA: Rant: we live near SF and the air quality is horrible due to the massive wildfires just north of us. It is really yucky, and I am concerned for all the people who've lost homes, businesses, and for those who've died and been injured. It is just awful.

6) GTKY: What was the last movie you saw in theaters? What's your favorite movie of all time (or top 5, if you're like me)?
DH and I are big dorks and saw Blade Runner 2049 last Thursday night!!! It was great. I love The Princess Bride, John Waters' Hairspray, Blade Runner, Star Wars (originals), and most Tim Burton movies.

anewadventure · October 2017

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 32w 1d whatever size that is! i'm skeptical about jansport backpack. come on now.

2) How are you feeling? ehhh. like i beat myself with a bag of hammers. all from walking briskly on a treadmill at an incline for a whopping 45 minutes last night. my pelvis and knees are like, GTFO. and it's not like this is exercising out of the blue - up until i got really busy at work a few weeks ago i was averaging a minimum of 3 miles a day, usually over 4 miles a day. grrrrr. i have my water class tonight so that should be good. sleep is really starting to suffer due to the urge to pee at all times. i am very tired.

3) What foods/drinks/habits do you miss the most & can't wait to resume once baby arrives? oh man. soccer!!!! moving without groaning. reaching my G.D. toes. not having t-rex arms. intense exercise in general. tequila. fall and winter beer. sleeping on my back. taking something when my head aches. being able to pick up my son and use my core muscles.

4) Any appointments this week/last? i have an OB appt tomorrow. will include an ultrasound to check on growth and check for clots. their machine is pretty crappy though, not one of the fancy ones. here's hoping their stupid scale doesn't get me in trouble like last time - i'm still pretty aggravated about that. @djd0404 i feel you

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? i've definitely crossed the invisible line. i HURT. the heartburn is NEVER-ENDING. i can't SLEEP. i live in the bathroom. i can't reach my feet. i can't bend at the waist like, at all. definitely feeling like i have not enough time left (we still need to do like, all the things) and wayyyyy too long to go.

6) GTKY: What was the last movie you saw in theaters? What's your favorite movie of all time (or top 5, if you're like me)? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. ahem. excuse me. movies? in theaters? or not in theaters? i've seen maybe one movie since my DS was born three years ago. this is not a joke. it was beauty and the beast, which i really enjoyed.
movies i love include gladiator, shawshank redemption, love actually, most pixar films. i'm that person who hasn't seen anything soooo there won't be much on this list. i have read the HP series one billionty times and will watch the movies in a pinch but they're only OK compared to the books. reading is my one true love so i spend my free time doing that instead of movies or tv. if you asked me my favorite tv shows i would just chuckle at you

@kersey0208 i'm so glad your appointment went well this week.

@kln62689 bummer about the vomiting

@wabash15 i'm glad the move to toddler beds is going well so far! FX it continues! my DS is doing great in his big boy bed, he moved only two weeks ago or so on his third birthday.

@djd0404 for real, reaching your toes is difficult. reaching them for more than a millisecond takes your breath away. it makes me feel RIDICULOUS! also, i still eat raw cookie dough. i'm a little more touchy in first tri since listeria etc. can cause MC but now i'm like, WHATEVA, I DO WHAT I WANT. and i want cookie dough.

cenzosmomma · October 2017

@djd0404 don't you hate a dishonest scale?!? Can't we just skip that part!!

Count me in for wanting a nice snooze on my belly!!!

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 30 weeks 1 day, because holidays throw me off... baby is a zucchini, apparently

2) How are you feeling? feeling all the usual symptoms... big, tired, uncomfortable and back on the list lately: nauseous
