Re: EDD 18th-24th | 30 Weeks

  • 1) Which day is your due date? Feb. 18

    2) How are you feeling? 
    Sick with a cold combined with nasty heartburn and acid reflux is a bad mix, so this week is starting off on a bad note. Hoping it gets better as I got approval to take Zantac and started this morning. 

    3) Any appointments this week? Nope, it's my week off.

    4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Did I mention the heartburn and acid reflux?! Ugh!

    5) GTKY: What present on your wish list are you hoping most to get? Anything weird you asked for? 
    My wish list was 99% baby stuff so anything from the registry is going to make me happy.

  • 1) Which day is your due date? Feb 20

    2) How are you feeling? "OMG how are we at 30 weeks now?!??". ... I'm ok, just frustrated with being on restricted activity and a little overwhelmed with all of the things we still need to get done.

    3) Any appointments this week? 30wk appt and ultrasound to check placenta position on Friday

    4) Rants/Raves/Questions? why is my house not self cleaning? :)

    5) GTKY: What present on your wishlist are you hoping most to get? Anything weird you asked for?
    I asked for some baby related stuff like a daiper bag and teething necklace and hair wraps (because who knows how often I'll get to shower). But I also asked for an instant pot which I'm kind of hoping I get because it would be fun to play with (even though I am trying to get stuff out of my kitchen). Also I always put a wish list item for a donation to a local senior dog sanctuary, so I'm hoping we can get thm some extra money this holiday season especially as we're not doing our annual holiday party/pet supply drive this year.
  • 1) Which day is your due date? Feb. 20 scheduled c-section Feb 13

    2) How are you feeling? 
    I’ve definitely been more tired this last week. Let’s hope it doesn’t last past Christmas! That’s when we will start the massive clean-up of our spare room
    and transition DD (will be 22 months at the time of transition). Today there have been a little BH here and there and I don’t like it at all!

    3) Any appointments this week? Thursday! Keeping my fingers crossed for low BP readings and no protein in my urine. This is when things started acting up with my last pregnancy. 

    4) Rants/Raves/Questions? 

    5) GTKY: What present on your wish list are you hoping most to get? Anything weird you asked for? 
     I don’t have anything on my wish list. I got everything when I had DD. I’m team green so if this is a boy we will just need some boy clothes and a boyish blanket. 
  • 1) Which day is your due date?
    Feb 21

    2) How are you feeling? 
    Pretty good actually! Some BH and fatigue, been trying to keep from getting the cold going around my house but so far I haven’t gotten much of it. Nesting is kicking in majorly.

    3) Any appointments this week? 
    Tomorrow! And it’s with my favorite OB in the group that I haven’t seen since first tri, so I’m looking forward to it. She usually does a quick peak with her US machine too whenever I see her, so maybe I’ll get a little look at baby girl.

    4) Rants/Raves/Questions? 
    I wish there was a magical spray to keep dogs from shedding, but whatever. Nesting is making me a crazy person and all I see is every single dog hair in the house. I shampooed the rugs today, gave the dog a serious bath, vacuumed, and cleaned the blankets I had protecting the one couch she gets up on (she’s not allowed but I can’t keep her off when we’re not in the room) so it’s about as good as I can do for now. Still making me crazy though.
     
    5) GTKY: What present on your wishlist are you hoping most to get? Anything weird you asked for?
    I didn’t really make a list this year, but I went through a calligraphy supply catalog I got in the mail and circled some things I could use for my work since my mom likes to have a concrete list of ideas, so I’d love to get a few things from that! (I have a wedding calligraphy business) Really nothing major that I need or want right now.

  • 1) Which day is your due date?
    Feb 19th (Monday)
    2) How are you feeling? 
    All the cravings have started again, anything spicy brings on heartburn, and I have reached the point of peeing a little here and there... like a couple drops, but just enough so I notice and it's so gross. 
    3) Any appointments this week? 
    Tomorrow! Last of my 4 week appts, so down to every 2 weeks after that until the last month.
    4) Rants/Raves/Questions? 
    We are baptizing our little man and asked his future Godfather today (who said yes!) Exciting but a bit unnerving to be planning postpartum events already!
    5) GTKY: What present on your wishlist are you hoping most to get? Anything weird you asked for?
    I put a black robe and pajama pants on my Christmas list to wear in recovery after delivery. There are a few baby things I would like that are on there, too, but other than that it's pretty blank. A lot of years I end up putting household things or items that are for the family and not me specifically. 
  • 1) Which day is your due date?

    Feb 22nd

    2) How are you feeling? 

    Pretty good other than some occasional heartburn 

    3) Any appointments this week? 

    Thursday 

    4) Rants/Raves/Questions? 

    Im getting the tdap shot on Thursday and I am not looking forward to a sore arm!

    5) GTKY: What present on your wishlist are you hoping most to get? Anything weird you asked for?

    I didn’t really ask for anything but I hope I get some gift cards or money so I can buy a new baby carrier. I’m thinking the Integra (used to be Connecta). I have a couple squishy wraps and an ergo - but the Integra is a more low profile carrier and I’m thinking  with 2 under 2 I’ll be doing a ton of baby wearing!
  • 1) Which day is your due date? February 23rd


    2) How are you feeling? Bloated, achy in the ribs, but more energetic this week. Also, excited for my upcoming baby shower,

    3) Any appointments this week? I had one a few days ago. Got my Flu and Tdap vaccines and got diagnosed with gestational diabetes. So not only did I have to endure 5 needles, but now I have to poke myself multiple times a day and try to suppress tasty cravings. No bueno!

    4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Atena coverage is freakin' abysmal. 100% prenatal coverage, my butt.

    5) GTKY: What present on your wishlist are you hoping most to get? Anything weird you asked for?
    Everything on my wishlist is for baby, so anything is great! 
  • Edit to mine: Appt today went great. Baby is head down and measuring right on track.  My next appt isn't until 33.5 weeks now because of holiday closings at the 2 week mark. Seems so far away!

    Also just found out my BFF is getting me 2 of the last baby items we wanted for Christmas! It's been a good day! 
  • 1) Which day is your due date? February 20th

    2) How are you feeling? mostly great now that I'm finally over the respiratory infection that took 4 weeks of my life, but I have some achy ribs on my left side from coughing so much.  I have a bad feeling it is some sort of pulled muscle/ tendonitis that won't heal until baby is out.

    3) Any appointments this week? this Thursday; probably a standard pee, BP, weight check appt.

    4) Rants/Raves/Questions? My poor DH was diagnosed this week with bronchitis and sinus infection, so he's pretty much unable to do any of the work for prepping the nursery until he feels better.  And our nursery is currently a room full of boxes.  So much to do! 

    5) GTKY: What present on your wishlist are you hoping most to get? Anything weird you asked for?
    I really want a nespresso machine.  They are on sale now, and I'm so tempted to put it on my baby registry.  Weird?  I mean, it's a necessity for momma.


  • 1) Which day is your due date? February 20th

    2) How are you feeling? Oh, I'm pretty good. Lower back/hip soreness and the ever present heartburn. I'm concerned by blood pressure has been up, so I'm anxious to find that out. 

    3) Any appointments this week? In about 30 minutes I'll have a sonogram to check to see if placenta has moved off of my cervix and then a regular doctors appointment after. 

    4) Rants/Raves/Questions? @PeachGal23 We haven't even started on our nursery. DH finishes up with finals this week and he promises he'll spend the few days following Christmas getting it ready for me to put together. 

    5) GTKY: What present on your wishlist are you hoping most to get? Anything weird you asked for? 
    We have quite a few "big" items remaining on our registry, so now I need to do some research to find cheapest places between registries so I can use my discounts and just buy them myself I guess. 
  • @ash0625 you make me feel better about this nursery readiness anxiety!


  • 1) Which day is your due date? Due the 22nd, scheduled RCS 2/15
    2) How are you feeling? Still bleh from the cold last week and the stress of the audit this week.
    3) Any appointments this week? OB dept tour tomorrow night & OB visit Thursday afternoon.
    4) Rants/Raves/Questions? I finally got my temp in at work and my boss is trying to pull her off on "special projects". Um no. This woman needs to learn my entire job in a month. She's not going to fill out surveys or do scout work research projects that you don't want to do. She's mine unless i release her, which I won't. 
    5) GTKY: What present on your wishlist are you hoping most to get? Anything weird you asked for? 
    The stroller we want that goes with the carseat. We'll probably have to buy it though.

    February 19th
    2) How are you feeling?
    I keep getting nauseous in the mornings. I  think probably from the iron I’m taking. And I can’t make it up even one flight of stairs without feeling out of breath and the need to sit down. 
    3) Any appointments this week? No
    4) Rants/Raves/Questions? 
    The escalator wasn’t working yesterday by the train and I had to go up all the stairs. I had so much trouble. 
    5) GTKY: What present on your wishlist are you hoping most to get? Anything weird you asked for?
    I don’t have a wishlist. 
  • Well, placenta moved out of the way, but baby was measuring 3 weeks ahead and I have excess amniotic fluid so now I’m getting sonograms and monitoring every week until delivery. His belly and bladder looked good so they don’t think it’s a swallowing issue and I don’t have GD. I’m trying not to stress, but it feels like bad news. 
  • @ash0625 I'm sure everything is fine. Don't stress!

  • @PeachGal23 I would totally add the nespresso. 

    @ash0625 I had high fluids with DS2 and had to do monitoring. They said that the checks were to make sure the fluid levels didn't get out of control as that can cause premature rupture of membranes. We got to see LO quite often (which was fun) and had a normal delivery at 39w3d.
  • @ash0625 sending good thoughts your way!
  • 1) Which day is your due date? February 18
    2) How are you feeling? Feeling like February is so close, yet so far away! Physically, my back feels really tight most of the day, and I feel like I could sleep until the baby comes 
    3) Any appointments this week? It was a big week! I had a 30 week ultrasound to check on growth as well as my 30 week appt yesterday

    5) GTKY: What present on your wishlist are you hoping most to get? Anything weird you asked for? 
    I didn't specifically ask for this, but my mom is an avid photographer, and I asked her for camera recommendations about a month ago. She never responded to me (which is very out of character)... so I'm hoping maybe she decided to get me one ... I would love a nice camera to take pictures of our baby 
  • @ash0625 I'm sure everything will be okay! Keep us updated!

    Hang in there, momma! *hugs*
  • Thanks, guys. I'm feeling better about the whole thing this morning. @3plus1equals4 thanks for the insight. Guess it makes sense why people have been telling me for a few weeks that I look further along than I am. 
  • 1) Which day is your due date?
    Feb. 21st, RCS scheduled Jan 31st at 37 weeks
    2) How are you feeling? 
    Slightly stressed. Diagnosed this week with cholestasis. I had it last pregnancy as well, but wasn’t diagnosed this early last time. I’ve started taking a prescription to reduce bile salts, and I’ll start having weekly ultrasounds at 32 weeks to make sure everything is ok. I’m thankful I knew what to look for this time, but am pretty bummed. The bright side is I’ve never been a day over 37 weeks pregnant! 
    3) Any appointments this week? 
    Had one Monday. Received my diagnosis and added extra appointments. 
    4) Rants/Raves/Questions? 
    My mom is here! We are doing Christmas at our house and she’s come this weekend to help us get things ready. I am so thankful!!
    5) GTKY: What present on your wishlist are you hoping most to get? Anything weird you asked for?
    I asked for the Ninja coffee bar system. Gotta have my coffee!
