Would you rather let a complete stranger name your child, or take the name the stranger chose for yourself and get to pick your child's name? 

Re: Due Date Check-in First Week of May: 429-5/5 (week of 2/5)

  • How far along are you? When is your due date? What's the size of your LO? 28 weeks.  Officially third tri whoop whoop!!!  Due 4/30 and baby girl is the size of an eggplant.

    What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? I have a pretty full schedule at work this week with a presentation tomorrow evening and probably going to visit my grandparents on another evening this week.  I am feeling pretty blah.  I had a really bad night on Saturday with HG.  It was so sudden and violent that I almost thought it was food poisoning, but DS ate the exact same thing I did and was fine.  Rant- I am tired of most of my maternity clothes, but also don't want to spend any more money on them.  I also feel bad because one of my former students has been trying to set up a get together with me and another teacher she had and I just can't get it together.  They were being really nice and trying to plan around me, but I told them I didn't want to have them take all that into consideration and have me maybe not come because it might be a bad day.  Rave- I am seeing one of my friends after work today.  We are going to meet at the park with our kids and I am looking forward to seeing her.   

    Any upcoming appointments? Nothing until 3/1 with my OB.

    Would you rather let a complete stranger name your child, or take the name the stranger chose for yourself and get to pick your child's name? That's so hard!   Can I let them name my baby and then change it later?  ;)
  • @mileswithmyles I kinda thought of that when I made up the question.  I might be tempted to have the stranger name my baby, because you can still call them whatever you want!  And if people don't know that their legal name isn't what they've been called and introduced as their whole lives, what's the harm?

    Feeling large, particularly when I lean down to get something off the floor. I can't breathe! This baby is all up in my ribs.

    Any upcoming appointments?
    Back to biweekly checkups now so I don't go in till next week. But just this last weekend I had my spa appointment and omg it was amazing. 3 hours spent completely on myself. A massage and pedicure. Sooooo nice. I also had my regular monthly check in on Friday and only made it to it because google calendar reminded me! I thought it was the following week. Technology (and past-me who had the brains to enter it) saved my butt!

    uhhhh I honestly don't know. I'm leaning towards taking the bad name bullet and being able to pick my child's name myself.
  • @onesmallcoconut I have reached the point where if I drop something and I don't NEED it, it stays on the ground.  And putting on shoes is getting harder and harder.
  • I had MH paint my toenails yesterday.  I probably *could* have done it myself, but it would've been super uncomfortable.  And plus, I liked feeling pampered LOL

    27+2, size of lettuce? I don't know now, it seems like all my vegetables or fruits are now crowding into that general size category...

    What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? 
    I'm feeling fuller each week. Harder to eat full meals now!

    Any upcoming appointments?
    1 hour glucose test this Thursday eek! I'm debating eating some eggs and oatmeal beforehand. I know I'm gonna chug water like it's my life since it's really hard to find my veins.

    Well I started taking a supplement and it’s been making me cry pretty much nonstop for the past few days. I’m going to quit taking it. I can’t handle feeling like a weak bitch all the time...

    Any upcoming appointments?
    15th one hour glucose.

    I already didn’t have an easy time changing my name when I got married (I’m still getting around to it) sonid let them pick the name. My kid goes by doodle90% of the time anyway.

    @mileswithmyles
    I miss my grandma, I should go see her soon(ish) I’ve also been randomly sick to my stomach today for no reason...

    @onesmallcoconut  I filled in for a different teacher tonight and one of the parents of her students popped in a couple times to ask if I was ok to do what I was doing being as far along as I am, and couldn’t believe I’m not due until May. I just LOVE concerned people -.- Also, now I feel huge, which is why I mentioned this to you.

    @helloworld9  I’m also having a really hard time with finishing full meals. All the small things
  • @ivyvines6 How inconvenient- something that makes an already emotionally unstable person even more so! I’d cut that out quick!

    @mileswithmyles i hope you were able to enjoy your park time with your friend. I cherish nice Tuesday afternoons when my friend and I get to do that.

    How far along are you? When is your due date? What's the size of your LO? 28, 5/1, eggplant 

    What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves?  I’m getting to that 3rd tri achiness, just feeling so heavy and out of breath too.

    Any upcoming appointments? I have my GTT today.

  • @helloworld9 GL with your test.  They didn't let me drink water in between taking the glucose drink and the blood draw, so make sure to chug beforehand!

    @ivyvines6 hope you are feeling better!

    @MissusTexas I did!  We had a nice time and the weather was beautiful.  GL with your test!
