BrittaniLC · November 2017

1) When are you due?
Feb 20.....c section is scheduled for Feb 13

2) How are you feeling?
Pretty good. Having the side of my hip pain through the night now, which causes more tossing and turning through the night.

3) Any appointments this week?
I have my last monthly appointment on Wednesday. We then move to every 2 week. With DD it was around 30-32 weeks when my BP started acting up and protein started showing up in my urine. Hoping things will be a little different this time.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Nothing from me!

5) GTKY: Friday is already December! When do you shift into 'holiday mode?'
Probably when I finally decide to put up the Christmas stuff. Who knows when that will be. Not sure when I will be ready to fend off my toddler off of the tree.

3plus1equals4 · November 2017

1) When are you due? Monday, 19th

2) How are you feeling? I am tired because of DS1 being sick last night and having not slept well the night before either. I have been pretty sedentary lately, which I know isn't good. I really need to start walking again.

3) Any appointments this week? Not for another 2 weeks still. It's the last of my 4 week appts. The rest of my appts should be 30, 32, 34, 36, 37, 38, and 39 weeks.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Little man is soo active lately. It's great because I know he's good in there, but I have an anterior placenta, so his kicks are right into my organs with no padding back there.

It makes me so nauseous sometimes.

5) GTKY: Friday is already December! When do you shift into 'holiday mode?' I tried to do Black Friday decorating, but it's all still in the entry way. Our computer desk is currently where we put the tree, so I have to get DH to move that first. We have watched a couple Christmas movies, haha.

Advent starts Sunday, so that is my goal for finishing the decorating. Have to find my wreath for the candles!

rainafire77 · November 2017

1) When are you due? Feb 22nd with scheduled c-section Feb 15th

2) How are you feeling? Tired and sore. I'm asleep by 830pm, awake around 11 to midnight, back to sleep around 3-4 and then awake at 8 on weekends or 6am on work days. The RLP is real as is the hip pain. I am having such a hard time sleeping on either side.
3) Any appointments this week? Tuesday and I get another rhogam injection. I think we start doing every other week for appointments after this but I'm not sure.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? None right now
5) GTKY: Friday is already December! When do you shift into 'holiday mode?' Next weekend probably. Depends on if DH can get the floor in the nursery finished and make it to the storage unit for the decorations.

3plus1equals4 · November 2017

@rainafire77 You're up for 4 hours overnight? That sounds miserable. Is it because LO is moving or just insomnia once you wake up?

diesel11111 · November 2017

1) When are you due?

Feb 22nd

2) How are you feeling?

Just feeling large and tired.

@rainafire77 I’ve been sleeping elevated on my couch for the past couple weeks because side sleeping just isn’t comfortable for me either.

3) Any appointments this week?

Thursday and then every other week for me

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?

Tomorrow is my 1 hour glucose test. I’m nervous!

5) GTKY: Friday is already December! When do you shift into 'holiday mode?'

We got our Christmas pictures done today but will wait until next weekend to get our tree and really start decorating. I’m curious to see how DS handles the tree this year. I’m not really trying to block it off and just hope he thinks it’s no big deal.

rainafire77 · November 2017

@3plus1equals4 Just uncomfortable. Pelvic & hip pain and me waking up wakes up the little one and he starts his alligator death rolls again. Some nights are better than others but lately I've just been exhausted during the day.

@diesel11111 I have a great back pillow and can sleep sitting up for a bit. Our couch is way too soft and kills my back.

winnie1122 · November 2017

1) When are you due?
Feb 21

2) How are you feeling?
Same as last week, large. And irritable.
3) Any appointments this week?
Glucose test and regular appointment on Wednesday

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
I love having a fridge full of pie after three Thanksgivings...I’m completely exhausted from three Thanksgivings.
5) GTKY: Friday is already December! When do you shift into 'holiday mode?'
I started decorating this weekend since we’ve had decent weather and I wanted to get lights up without having to freeze my booty off. And since I can’t get all the boxes out of the attic myself seven months pregnant I had DH go ahead and get them down for me this weekend while he was home, so I put the tree up today too. I won’t really be in the full ‘Christmas spirit’ mode until I recover from TG I think, but I’m getting there!

hms1219 · November 2017

1) When are you due?
Due on the 19th

2) How are you feeling?
So so so tired. @rainafire77 the alligator death roll is a perfect description! Between my hip pain, my RLS, random calf cramps, DH snoring and baby rolls there is no sleep.

3) Any appointments this week?
None this week. Last week I passed my 1 hour glucose test and next week is my first of my every 2 week visits.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Why do people seem to think you can store up sleep. “Sleep now because you won’t get any when baby is here” is crap. I actually sleep better after they come because I can get comfortable.

5) GTKY: Friday is already December! When do you shift into 'holiday mode?'
I’ve already shifted! We are hosting Christmas this year and it’s gonna be great. I keep telling DH it’s going to be like a good old fashioned Clark Griswold Christmas without the real tree and squirrel.

ash0625 · November 2017

1) When are you due?
February 20

2) How are you feeling?
Pretty good with the exception of the insane amounts of heartburn / GERD. All day I'm gurgley and uncomfortable and at night I wake up choking on stomach acid. It is miserable.
3) Any appointments this week?
Just finished up my last monthly appointment and waiting for the blood draw at my 1 hour glucose test. Moving to 2 weeks now with a sonogram to check placenta location scheduled.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Nothing this week.
5) GTKY: Friday is already December! When do you shift into 'holiday mode?'
Our Christmas decorations are as up as they're going to be. I didn't put any actual bulbs or decorations on the tree this year. I'm lazy and the puppies eat everything so it didn't seem worth it to me. I'm typically a Christmas nut, but I'm just tired this year.

atalante · November 2017

1) When are you due?
Feb 20

2) How are you feeling?
ok, but have gotten pretty emotional this week and I'm pretty sure I'm nesting. Hip aches during sleep have gotten better.

3) Any appointments this week?
just had my glucose test. Fingers crossed...

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
I feel like we're taking a pass on a lot of things this holiday season due to uncertainty about how hard this next trimester will be. Anyone else adjusting their holiday plans due to 3rd tri? What are you doing differently?

5) GTKY: Friday is already December! When do you shift into 'holiday mode?'
We're not decorating this year because we're not hosting and I am pretty sure I won't want to take everything down mid January. But I'll start shopping and wrapping next week, meal planning with family, etc. And I heard Christmas music yesterday and wasn't mad about it.

caitb13 · November 2017

1) When are you due? Feb 18

2) How are you feeling? Still feeling pretty good, but starting to feel some pressure in my lower back and felt some RLP when moving last night. I think I'm going to introduce another pillow in bed tonight, DH will love that.

3) Any appointments this week? 28 week appointment on Wednesday!

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm sure I'll think of something later...

5) GTKY: Friday is already December! When do you shift into 'holiday mode?' Normally we would have gone Christmas tree shopping yesterday and I would have started decorating this week. But my shower was on Saturday so instead I spent most of yesterday washing adorable baby things and getting organized. We'll get a tree next weekend instead. I don't think I'm going to go as all out with Christmas décor as I normally do. We're in a 1 bedroom apartment, and things are already starting to feel claustrophobic with all of the baby stuff.

I'm right there with you on needing to get back to walking @3plus1equals4. I was really good about it, and then daylight savings time happened and it's been cold and getting dark so early so I've been making excuse after excuse. Time to get back to it!

3plus1equals4 · November 2017

@atalante Our plans are different this year mainly because of how complicated Thanksgiving was. We are hosting Christmas Eve, going to inlaws for only lunch Christmas day, and celebrating late with my mom. I refuse to attend more than one side's events in a single day now.

We are skipping an annual holiday party this weekend that is 2 hours away, though. It's just too much with everything else and I am still tired from this past week. I'mean actually sad about that, but I know i'd be exhausted and miserable after.

ramzlau · November 2017

1) When are you due?
Feb 20

2) How are you feeling?
large! Ate too much this weekend and now feel miserably big!
3) Any appointments this week?
Nope, next one is next Thur

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
I think I have a rib out of place?! Is that possible? One place on my back cramps if I am sitting up and it isn't lower back but middle and only on one side. Debating chiropractor or massage.
5) GTKY: Friday is already December! When do you shift into 'holiday mode?'
sometime over the next week I am hoping to figure out our decorating plans for this year. Holiday parties start next week and then cookie party the week after!

@caitb13are you planning on staying in the 1 bedroom? We are in one now and debating the timing of a move to a house.

@diesel11111 I have been debating getting our recliner for the nursery sooner so I can start sleeping in it!

@rainafire77 alliegator roll is a perfect name
for it, was trying to describe it to my husband the other day and didn't have the words.

caitb13 · November 2017

@ramzlau We are planning to stay in the 1 bedroom for now. We are currently in the DC area, but both of our families live in Pittsburgh. We plan to move back to Pittsburgh to be near the grandparents at some point over the summer and will buy a house then. We want to maintain my benefits through the rest of the school year (I'm a teacher) and the paternity leave offered by my husband's workplace so we won't move until then. It's going to be a tight squeeze, but hopefully doable if we move before LO is mobile.

As for your ribs, I actually have had a similar pain, but in the front. It's mostly when I'm sitting on our couch at night and it feels like either the connective tissue or my ab muscle is cramping up - but only in that one spot! It's really weird.

amandah1011 · November 2017

1) When are you due?

Feb. 17

2) How are you feeling?

Large and very uncomfortable

3) Any appointments this week?

I have a 3rd anatomy scan tomorrow (such the lovely stubborn child I am carrying), 1 hr glucose tomorrow and then regular appointment after all of that. Hopefully starting every 2 week appointments after this one.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?

This child of mine is loving my ribs. I need her to move. It is getting very uncomfortable. I am sure I have a bruised rib from her constant kicking.

5) GTKY: Friday is already December! When do you shift into 'holiday mode?'

We put up our tree on Thanksgiving and I have done a little bit of shopping. Trying to get things done before I get too uncomfortable.

ramzlau · November 2017

@caitb13 yeah we were debating staying out until next summer too when my MIL moves in with us! Good luck with the rearranging to make room for the LO! And the rib thing is so weird!

ldawngirl781 · November 2017

1) When are you due? Feb. 18

2) How are you feeling? Pretty good!
3) Any appointments this week? I had an ultrasound today. Baby is measuring well and everything looks awesome! During the u/s, he/she was cuddling and sucking on the umbilical cord! We got some really nice 3D shots. Seeing the facial features makes it all so real.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Strollers! I cannot decide on what stroller to get. It's consuming my every waking moment.
5) GTKY: Friday is already December! When do you shift into 'holiday mode?' I saw DH moved our Christmas tree from the corner of the basement to the stairs, so I think he's preparing to put it up this weekend. I'm so focused on all things baby, the holidays are the last thing on my mind.

gooberdoofus95 · November 2017

1) When are you due?
feb 21st

2) How are you feeling?
pretty good overall, I still have a kidney stone that still won’t pass (it’s going on almost 2 months now) and I’m getting kinda worried!
3) Any appointments this week?
had my 28week appt yesterday along with the 1 hour glucose test and TDAP shot. My doctor says no news is good news so I’m hoping I won’t here from them meaning I passed my test!! I go in for my 3D ultrasound on dec 4th!

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
nothing right now
5) GTKY: Friday is already December! When do you shift into 'holiday mode?'
i usually wait until the last minute but this year my 3yo is very excited and after taking her to Christmas Town (Busch Gardens) this past weekend I saw the magic in her eyes and I’m ready to decorate everything!! I also purchased the elf on the shelf that we will hopefully start on Saturday.

rainafire77 · November 2017

@gooberdoofus95 I hate that elf on a shelf and will not be doing it. It came way after DD was little and my friends who have it either start stressing over not moving it, making funny scenes for it every night or figuring out what presents the elf will bring nightly from the north pole in order to compete with their kid's friends parents who do over the top stuff like Disneyland tickets. I'm just going to tell Kaleb that I have a direct line to Santa & that we're foregoing the middleman. (An older friend of ours dresses like Santa every year, looks just like the classical Santa Claus & has offered to personally appear as Santa or call as Santa if need be.)

spb27 · November 2017

1) When are you due?
February 19th

2) How are you feeling?
Unfortunately I still have a cold that won’t go away plus I’ve just been more uncomfortable lately.
3) Any appointments this week?
I failed my 3hr glucose so I have a nutritional meeting this week. My regular appt is next week.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Just not looking forward to dealing with everything that comes with having gestational diabetes.
5) GTKY: Friday is already December! When do you shift into 'holiday mode?'
I guess I shifted already. I celebrate Chanukah and that starts in a couple weeks. I’m busy buying presents.
