1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 27 weeks today with baby boy! He's a lettuce head.

2) How are you feeling? Big. I feel really big. And if I could sleep through the night, that'd be great. Also I am still super thirsty. I probably drink about 96 oz a day. That is more than I used to drink in 2 to 3 days.

3) Any appointments this week/last? Upcoming cervical length check on Friday with my MFM.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Although there's still plenty of time to enjoy, I'm already starting to think about how I'll miss the little kicks and moves he's doing in there. It's like my little secret!

5) GTKY: What is your biggest dream/wish/prayer for this LO and any other LOs you may have? I want him to be his own person and not follow the crowd. DH is loudly and proudly his own person. I wish I had that bravado. So hopefully he passed it on to LO.

1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
24 weeks - cantaloupe

2) How are you feeling?
Pretty good. I keep waking up in the middle of the night, though...my remedy for that is turning on a Christmas movie!! And the back pain continues and increases!

3) Any appointments this week/last?
24 week appt tomorrow. Also getting a bonus sonogram so excited to see lil boy! Oh, and glucose test, too.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
We are T-minus 29ish days til stepson moves out and we can FINALLY get in his room to make it a nursery - the end is in sight!!

5) GTKY: What is your biggest dream/wish/prayer for this LO and any other LOs you may have?
I hope all my LOs understand me being a working mom. It's tough for me sometimes so I hope they know I am doing the best I can!!

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

27 weeks, a fennek fox

2) How are you feeling?

Still terrible physically, but I’m just getting so excited, I feel like I’m starting to believe I won’t be pregnant forever and that I will really get to meet my little buddy soon.

3) Any appointments this week/last?

Tuesday I have my second GD counselor meeting. Thursday I see the cardiologist, my blood pressure is pretty bad lately and I am hushed can adjust the medication for that. Then Monday the 11th I have an OB appointment followed by an ultrasound to check the baby’s kidney issue and see how he is doing growth wise with the diabetes. I am so ready to see him that day.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?

i have bought a whole lot of baby stuff in the past two weeks, and the constant trickle of packages with cute things inside is the best part of some days.

5) GTKY: What is your biggest dream/wish/prayer for this LO and any other LOs you may have?

I want him to be healthy, it’s a predictable answer, and definitely not the only one I have, but I have had so many healthy issues, and so have a lot of people I love, in the last few years, that it is the first thing that comes to mind right now.

1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
27 weeks! Baby is the size of lettuce or a fennec fox.

2) How are you feeling?
Physically I feel okay. Mentally I'm struggling a little this week. I feel like I have zero patience and just feel crabby in general. My 2.5 year old has been incredibly whiny this week and DH has some anxiety issues that he's trying to get squared away by adjusting his medication and I'm just over everything. I'm normally super patient, so it makes me a little nervous about how it's going to be when I've got a newborn and an almost 3 year old.

3) Any appointments this week/last?
I have my glucose test and 28 week appointment on Friday. I had to do an early one at 8 weeks that I passed, so I'm not terribly nervous about it. But I think after my 28 week appointment, it switches to being seen every 2 weeks until the weekly appointments at 36 weeks. Makes everything seem a little more "real" when you have to go that often.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Not pregnancy related really, but my biggest rant is about my family. My parents moved to Florida almost 10 years ago (I'm in Iowa) and my aunt and uncle moved down there to be closer to them 3 years ago. I've only seen my aunt and uncle once since they moved. They came back home for a long weekend (Thurs-Sun) and didn't tell me. We have a small family in town - just me, their son, my grandma and my other uncle. Apparently I was the only one who didn't know they were here. They were supposed to come in October, and they asked to use my house for a get together and I even took a couple days off work because I was excited to see them. They wound up having to cancel the trip, which is fine, but it's just annoying that I bent over backwards in October to host them and get time off work and then they don't even say anything to me when they're here this weekend.

Sorry, that was a long rant. I need to get over this bad mood, lol.

5) GTKY: What is your biggest dream/wish/prayer for this LO and any other LOs you may have?
It's the same for my 2.5 year old and the new babe.. I hope that they're both kind and understanding. I feel like you can get through so much in life with just kindness and understanding.

1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
25 weeks - cauliflower

2) How are you feeling?
Pretty good overall!

3) Any appointments this week/last?
Nope, next appt is next Monday.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
I feel like my hormones have been pretty reasonable throughout this pregnancy until this week where I'm suddenly extremely overwhelmed/crying at the drop of a hat. I just feel like March is going to be here so soon and I'm not ready yet!!

5) GTKY: What is your biggest dream/wish/prayer for this LO and any other LOs you may have?
This is a very deep question! Of course I want a healthy baby first and foremost, but I guess I'm worried about bringing a child into this crazy world we live in. I just hope we can guide and teach this little one to be a kind, compassionate, inclusive human. There are too many ugly people in this world, and I just hope we can teach this child to be one of the good ones.

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 24 weeks, cantaloupe.

2) How are you feeling? A bit of acid reflux, mini leg cramps at night, and occasional difficulty sleeping.

3) Any appointments this week/last? None this week. Next week is glucose, another check up the week after.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Applied for a Babies'R Us credit card because my Future MIL asked us to go ahead and buy the crib and she'll pay us back. However, Babies'R Us had all sorts of difficulties.

First they wouldn't accept my fiance's valid out of state id (he doesn't have a driver's license) - yes the address is different but it isn't an expired ID. As far as I've read on PennDot, he isn't required to get a new one unless he has a driver's license - so we've been waiting until it expires.

Second, they messed up my application somehow. They scanned my ID and all the crucial information got pulled in. I double checked it, Fiance double checked it, and still got "application pending". I called them the next day and found out the zip code was wrong. How it was wrong is beyond me...

5) GTKY: What is your biggest dream/wish/prayer for this LO and any other LOs you may have? Really the only wish I have currently is that baby continues to grow big, strong, and healthy. However, overall I am hoping we can teach him compassion, and to work hard towards any dreams he has.

1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
24 +1 Canteloupe.

2) How are you feeling?
I think I have bronchitis. But most things pg related are good lately!

3) Any appointments this week/last?
Going to primary care doc about this cough that keeps getting worse. Ugh. Nothing else for a little while though.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
It's the last few days before winter weather really gets here and I wish I felt like being outside. I just want to crawl in bed though.

5) GTKY: What is your biggest dream/wish/prayer for this LO and any other LOs you may have?
DH and I both had sort of turbulent childhoods, so I'm really hoping we can stay strong as a family unit and provide a happy and stable childhood for this and any future LOs. We're getting good at recognizing when we're being triggered and resolving disagreements calmly, so I hope we can carry that through when things get more stressful.

cford08 · December 2017

@fatstagnation here's hoping it's definitely not bronchitis and you get some relief soon!

1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
25w3d today. Was 25 on Sunday.

2) How are you feeling?
I’m still feeling decent most days. No nausea or anything fun like that anymore (yet). Heartburn is still horrid, but Zantac 150 is my bff.

3) Any appointments this week/last?
Going on 12/22 for the lovely GTT. Had a regular appointment last week and everything was good.
