1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 29 weeks! Acorn squash, Hawaiian pineapple, New England Cottontail Rabbit (?), Barbie convertible

2) How are you feeling? Passable. My congestion has been awful lately and some days I feel run-over-by-a-train tired, but the end is in sight!

3) How are your preparations coming along (nursery, classes, hospital bag, etc.)? DH and I worked hard in the nursery last weekend and everything is basically set-up! I just need to organize baby girl's clothes and buy dresser dividers to organize everything (gotta love Ikea). I absolutely love how everything came together in her nursery. By far, it's my favorite room in the house. Finished with childbirth classes (I have one b-feeding class later in the month), and I'll start to pack my hospital bag in the next few weeks.

4) Any appointments this week/last? GD test last week, and I passed! My next appointment is next week (Rhogam shot time). Eek!

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave- 77 days until my due date. Getting so close!

6) GTKY: What's your favorite dish at Thanksgiving (or, more generally speaking, Fall)? Favorite drink when it's cold outside? Cornbread stuffing and cranberry sauce. Favorite drink would be eggnog (I make my own and it's sooo good), spiked with bourbon. I also love a good mulled wine.

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 28w5d - Eggplant, Tropical Coconut

2) How are you feeling? Pretty good! Heartburn has been a little out of control and braxton hicks have started

3) How are your preparations coming along (nursery, classes, hospital bag, etc.)? Having a little bit of anxiety over everything. I feel like time is going way too fast and I have too much to do! We recently moved into our home and need to rip the carpet up in the nursery and paint. Hopefully that will all be done in the next month.

4) Any appointments this week/last? GD test was last week, and I passed. Also had my Rhogam shot last week (not fun!). I had an appt on Tuesday of this week and heartbeat was still in the 140's and everything is looking good!

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave - I can't believe we only have 2 months left!

6) GTKY: What's your favorite dish at Thanksgiving (or, more generally speaking, fall)? Favorite drink when it's cold outside? Green bean casserole and pumpkin cheesecake! Favorite drink would be warm apple cider.

A day late...woops

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 30 weeks! In the home stretch. Baby is the size of a zucchini, summer cantaloupe, platypus!

2) How are you feeling? A bit tired and heavy from the additional weight. But overall just excited and nervous.

3) How are your preparations coming along (nursery, classes, hospital bag, etc.)? Nursery stills needs some work. Hoping to complete it after my shower on the 15th. Classes are the beginning of November and hospital bag will be packed around then too.

4) Any appointments this week/last? None this week. Next appointment is Tuesday. The every 2 week appointments seem to come so fast.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? My only rant is trouble with my sleeping. Between the crazy dreams and the discomfort from the size of my belly, I am not getting continuous sleep.

6) GTKY: What's your favorite dish at Thanksgiving (or, more generally speaking, fall)? Favorite drink when it's cold outside? I love everything about Thanksgiving, but particularly stuffing and pumpkin pie. I also love hot chocolate when it's cold outside. @lindsey30 I also love pumpkin cheesecake - I could probably eat an entire one by myself.

Day late.....

1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
30 weeks! zucchini

2) How are you feeling?
Had my first experience with some major lower back pain. But overall feeling good.

3) How are your preparations coming along (nursery, classes, hospital bag, etc.)?

Signed up for the prenatal course at our hospital for the first week of November. No new progress on nursery. We are waiting til after our shower this weekend before we finish up.

4) Any appointments this week/last?

We had a 30 week scan on Wednesday to check if my placenta pervia had moved. No such luck, we are checking again in 4 weeks if there is still no movement we will be having a c-section.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Sleep..... I just want to make it through the night again without walking up to run to the bathroom or needing to find a new position for what feels like the hundredth time. Also for this boy to not feel like 5-530 every morning is the perfect time for a dance party

6) GTKY: What's your favorite dish at Thanksgiving (or, more generally speaking, fall)? Favorite drink when it's cold outside?
green bean casserole, stuffing, my moms apple cake. Hot chocolate.

ridedatide · October 2017

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

29 weeks. Acorn squash

2) How are you feeling?
I'm ok. I've had acid reflex really bad and the doctor had me start taking Zantac. Plus I'm still taking unisom and b6 for the vomiting. I've tried getting off but no such luck yet. other then that my appt went well and I do not have GD
3) How are your preparations coming along (nursery, classes, hospital bag, etc.)?
Aggh I feel so behind. we are still out of our place because of the hurricane and there still is not a timeline to get everything fixed. We meet with the landlord Sunday to go over things and try to get things going with the mold and repairs.... Everything else has taken the back burner for now but I know i'm going to have to start getting on it.

4) Any appointments this week/last?

I had my appt Thursday. At my OB's office I start rotations with the other OBs in 2 weeks.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
I would love to be able to sleep with out having to pee or waking up with leg cramps.
6) GTKY: What's your favorite dish at Thanksgiving (or, more generally speaking, fall)? Favorite drink when it's cold outside?
I love Holiday food, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas because those are very similar food wise in my family. I love Turkey, mashed potato's and stuffing not to mention the apps before the meal. I'm not sure what I will be doing for Thanksgiving this year though. My family lives 2 hours away and my mom lives almost 4 hour away. My SO will more then likely be working so idk if its a good idea for me to be traveling alone a few weeks before I'm due. What do you guys think?

Mandayno · October 2017

Sorry I am really late! I have been confined to mobile until tonight, and just CAN'T check in on mobile!

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? I was 31 weeks last Thursday. It says baby is as big as a foam finger, which seems crazy big!

2) How are you feeling? I have been having a TON of pain in the pelvic joints, which is now going up into my groin. This is making it pretty hard to walk sometimes. This is going to be a very long end stretch if this keeps going haha! Otherwise, I can't complain.

3) How are your preparations coming along (nursery, classes, hospital bag, etc.)? We finally moved into our new house within this last week, therefore, I have finally been able to start the nursery! It is progressing, but I can't put together the baby's new furniture until after November 2nd when we get new carpet UGHHHH....

4) Any appointments this week/last? I have a 32wk checkup coming this Thursday!

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? To sum it all up....MOVING SUCKS, and sucks even more while pregnant!

6) GTKY: What's your favorite dish at Thanksgiving (or, more generally speaking, fall)? Favorite drink when it's cold outside? PUMPKIN PIE!!! And for a warm drink, hot chocolate of course!

I mean, if @Mandayno's going for it this late

Sorry I missed this last week!

@hellothere47 Whoa I feel like you're a full month ahead of me on preparation! Way to go! Also I'm glad you passed your GD test

@lindsey30 It seems like a lot but once you start checking things off I'm sure it will go quickly - good luck as you get started overhauling the nursery!

@asiegel I'm with you on sleeping getting tough. All of a sudden my hips have been hurting badly if I stay too long on one side (like more than an hour). Thank goodness pregnancy is a ready made excuse for guilt-free napping!

@aheqoefamily Fx the next scan shows the placenta has moved up!

@ridedatide I've heard good things about zantac helping with reflux during pregnancy so I hope you're getting some relief! I'm two weeks ahead of you, but I told H as soon as we found out the edd that I (we) wouldn't be going to Thanksgiving. It's a 3-hour drive through some unpopulated areas and that makes me nervous at 38 weeks. I'd try and have a discussion with my ob if I were you, since 2 hours in the car at 36 weeks seems a little more doable but I don't know? If you're alone that might change things.

@Mandayno Moving really is the worst! And we realized that with every move we're moving more and more stuff!! Hope you can get some more rest now that it's over!

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? I was 31 weeks Thursday. Pineapple, asparagus, romaine lettuce, football

2) How are you feeling?
Mostly good. It's good to feel his/her kicks and movements getting stronger

Baby hiccups have started, daily. Just wanting LO to be healthy and be here; December seems so far away.

3) How are your preparations coming along (nursery, classes, hospital bag, etc.)?
We painted the nursery/guestroom. I ordered a rug and will be ordering the crib and dresser later this week, as well as some shelves off Etsy. We've also got the room and closet almost totally cleaned out so we can start organizing from scratch. Our hospital tour is 10/21 then we don't have childbirth classes until the first week of Nov, but it's nice to at least have them scheduled because I had a bitch of a time trying to get in for October. I have the hospital bag packing list made but since it's a lot of stuff we use on the regular or stuff I still need to buy (eg nursing tops), it won't be actually packed for a while. I made a pretty comprehensive to-do list for H too (fx he starts making headway soon

). I feel good about our progress, and I want to make sure I stay busy so I'm not twiddling my thumbs in the last weeks.

4) Any appointments this week/last?
Last Tuesday was the 30 week check-up, then I'll have 32w this next Tuesday. No concerns but I really wish I knew baby's position. I think s/he's oblique and the google images make this look soooo uncomfortable! I have all my appointments scheduled out to 41 weeks

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?

6) GTKY: What's your favorite dish at Thanksgiving (or, more generally speaking, fall)? Favorite drink when it's cold outside?
Dish: Stuffing, probably because this is the only day of the year we eat it. Runner-up is Sweet Potatoes with Toasty Marshmallows nom nom nom.
Drink: Starbucks grande no water chai, 2 pumps chai, 1 pump pumpkin spice, add whip. I'd say hot chocolate but I drink that year round.

Mandayno · October 2017
