How far along are you? How big is baby? 31 weeks today! Romaine lettuce, asparagus, foam finger, otter (minus the tail)

How are you feeling? Tired!! I took yesterday off work for some R&R since I was feeling so run down. Can't wait to just sleep and take it easy this weekend. Getting up to pee in the middle of the night and then having to readjust the Snoogle and get comfy again is a challenge. Other than that, feeling pretty good.

What's going on this week? Not much. I had a breastfeeding class last night at the hospital I'm delivering at and have a routine prenatal appt. tomorrow morning at my OB's office.

Rants/Raves/Questions: Rant- Tired all the time! If baby girl doesn't come early, I'm thinking I'll need to start my maternity leave sooner than originally planned. Rave- Just getting excited for baby! Feeling pretty prepared and can't wait to meet her. Also, feeling her kick/squirm/move and groove is still the best feeling in the world!

GTKY: Have you had many pregnancy cravings? If so, what's been your craziest or most consistent craving to date? I had a ton of cravings pre-pregnancy, so I thought that would carry over into pregnancy. But, it really hasn't. I'm still loving all things bland and starchy- cereal of all kinds and honey Teddy Grahams have been my constant. I did send DH out to buy me an ice cream cake in the second trimester, but, since then, nothing too crazy.

@hellothere47 I keep fantasizing about taking the random day off work - so jealous! I would agree that sleep is my biggest challenge right now too.

How far along are you? How big is baby?

33 weeks - durian, pineapple, cauliflower

How are you feeling?

I'm always fighting PGAL anxiety. Always, still. Wish I knew how others were able to bury or ignore it so well. On the other side of the coin we have about a week until the shower and that was our deadline for getting the house in order. Hoping to make a lot of progress this weekend!

What's going on this week?
The crib and dresser are being delivered tomorrow so we'll put that together over the weekend. I want to make an autumn beef stew with a pumpkin I bought, and maybe some other pumpkin or fall treat.

Rants/Raves/Questions:
We've received some more gifts from out-of-town relatives and everything is just so sweet. I'm unbelievably grateful at how generous everyone has been so I need to make sure all our thank yous get sent out this week!

GTKY: Have you had many pregnancy cravings? If so, what's been your craziest or most consistent craving to date?
In first and second tri the best thing in the world was a root beer float. Most consistently though cereal. I don't even like cereal that much and never ate it for breakfast more than about once every three weeks, but I've had a thing the entire pregnancy for cereal and eat a bowl almost every night: first Peanut Butter Crunch, then Mini Wheats, and now Raisin Nut Bran. With 2% milk! H is a serious cereal connoisseur (we have about 12 boxes on top of the fridge at any given time and he would genuinely rather have a bowl of Kashi than go out to brunch) so I joke that this baby is definitely his

So sorry for missing last week!

How far along are you? How big is baby? 32 Weeks - size of a squash or florida pomelo

How are you feeling? Generally okay, but definitely starting to slow down. @hellothere47 I totally agree about getting up to pee then having to adjust the snoogle. Plus, my dreams have been super vivid and are coming in vignette style with about 3-4 different stories each night. I took off last Friday and had a "terrific lady day" as my DH calls it, but I could definitely use another one.

What's going on this week? Not much. My 32 weeks appointment is Tuesday. Also, due to a concern over a cramp that wouldn't go away last week (which thankfully turned out to be nothing), I do know that our little girl is already head down.

Rants/Raves/Questions: I guess my rant would be that I am starting to gear up to finish up our to-do list. I can feel myself getting a bit anxious and just wanting everything to be finished now. Our baby shower was this past Sunday (which would be my rave - since it was really lovely), but now I have items to return and thank yous to get out, adding to my to-do list. I know there could be worse things, but between things going on on the weekends and trying to get everything done, I feel like I'm running out of time.

GTKY: Have you had many pregnancy cravings? If so, what's been your craziest or most consistent craving to date? Early on I really wanted salt and vinegar chips. Then it turned to cream cheese, which I would eat on pretty much anything. Now I generally just have dairy cravings (milk, yogurt, ice cream, etc). I love cereal so it helps with all the milk I'm going through. Hopefully nothing else too crazy comes up in the next couple weeks.

babytimeagain · October 2017

@whiska @asiegel Thank goodness for cereal! Glad I'm not the only one crazy about all things cereal.

@asiegel Your DH is hilarious- "terrific lady day" is such a great description! Also, I feel you on the thank-you notes. It took me entirely too long to get them all written and mailed off. It just felt like another thing to add to my list when my energy level was already at an all-time low.

How far along are you? How big is baby?

32 weeks

How are you feeling?

Generally feeling okay. Have been having a lot of pelvic pressure over the past few days and the heartburn has been a now daily issue. But my OB prescribed some preventive that is finally kicking in.

What's going on this week?

We had an OB appointment on Tuesday. We are on track with growth but she has scheduled us with a MFM specialist and ultrasound to get a second option on my partial placenta pervia that will be on Nov 1. I am not excited about another doctor but I will be glad to finally be able to get a more solid plan for this little ones birth.

We have our baby shower on Saturday. I am excited for it and trying to be optimistic for it to all come together. Both of our mothers have come together to throw it and we have really felt like the middle men trying to get them to coordinate.

Rants/Raves/Questions:

My SO has come to the decision to be done with her job when I return to work from maternity leave. It is such a weight lifted in finding child care and I am so glad she isn't will to be the at home rockstar. I have just never been fond of the at home domestic stuff.

GTKY: Have you had many pregnancy cravings? If so, what's been your craziest or most consistent craving to date?
Early on I was on a major string cheese crave. It then turned into a cereal craving. I have been trying to change up the cereal but seem to come back to fruit pebbles and Reese puffs.

31 weeks/ asparagus

How are you feeling? this acid reflex is a killer.
The Zantac wears off before I can eat dinner. I have been throwing up stomach acid in the morning and at night. Doctor told me I need to take it in the am and the pm because it wears off after 8 to 12 hours. I hate taking meds but seeing how I lost 2 pounds in between my 2 week appointment's I figured better give it a try. (The acid reflex was making me not want to eat at night.)

What's going on this week?

Next weekend is my baby shower. My mom told me yesterday I need to get a special dress for it when I informed her I was just going to wear something I already have. Sooo this weekend I guess I get to try and find something.

Rants/Raves/Questions:
When walking around does you belly start to ache? Its been happening to me, but after I sit for a little I feel better.

GTKY: Have you had many pregnancy cravings? If so, what's been your craziest or most consistent craving to date?
Sweets, mostly choc. I've had a hard time the whole pregnancy with fruit so I eat that seldomly because usually when I do I throw up

whiska · October 2017

@ridedatide Oh yes, after about 10min of walking it starts to feel so heavy and stretched out.

Also I swear I'm having RLP again. On both sides. Baby's getting so big!

darkfyre · October 2017

I LOVE that meme!

How far along are you? How big is baby?

30 weeks, a cantaloupe

How are you feeling?

Pretty good. Surprisingly less tired this week but I won't complain. I could use a massage but its hard to get weekend appointments.

What's going on this week?

Had my first chiropractic appt. It went really well she is pleased with my general balance and structure. Did a slight adjustment to my pelvic bone which cleared up some annoying aches.

Rants/Raves/Questions:

Am I the only one completely unable to post or comment on the app right now? I guess there was an update and now it is mostly useless to me.
Kids carved pumpkins today! So that was fun.

GTKY: Have you had many pregnancy cravings? If so, what's been your craziest or most consistent craving to date?
Not really any. though I did crave pickles and sour stuff early on.

ridedatide · October 2017

@whiska thanks it helps to know that I'm not the only one. I sucks because the weather is just starting to get bearable outside and I cant really enjoy it.

@darkfyre I've had a lot of problems with but the app and the site.

@hellothere47 That GIF soo fits how I feel. (I think that's what it's called.)
