How far along are you? When is your due date? What's the size of your LO? Due 5/12. 27+2. Size of a bunch of bananas?? A little nervous. We had a 3D US this weekend and the tech said she’s measuring 29 weeks according her her measurements. This was a boutique place (with certified techs) and she said she had been doing it for 17 years. Gonna wait until my next US with my doctor before I panic that we may have a big baby or having her 2 weeksish earlier than planned.
BTW I am REALLY sure about my ovulation date so I don’t think it could be that was off. I was temping, testing, and monitoring CM. Also I get ovulation pains so I am pretty sure that I didn’t ovulate 2 weeks earlier than I thought.
What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? Feeling ok. Just effing tired. Too tired to list symptoms. Getting a little nervous for my GD test next week (2/22) but excited for the ultrasound after!
Any upcoming appointments? Not until 2/22
GTKY: Has anyone ever told you that you look like a celebrity and who? Nope! Although people tell me DH looks like Jack from this is us, and I am 100 percent ok with it! It’s the crooked smile thing.
Alternate or bonus GTKY: What is one of your biggest pet peeves? I was just discussing pet peeves with DH so that’s what made me think of this. I find it so annoying when people make broad statements like “never get married young,” or “never have kids after 30.” Regardless of the statement, I think it’s annoying when people assume that this situations that may have applied to them will apply to all of the human race. The articles that are like “20 reasons why everyone should have kids before 25,” or the other side “20 reasons why no one should have kids before 25.” I find that so irritating.
@bjkay22 I totally agree with the blanket statements. I always said people should *never* get engaged/married until they knew their partner for at least a year, and then I met MH and we got engaged seven months after we met. You never know! As far as ultrasound measurements, I wouldn't worry too much. Ultrasounds are not a super accurate way to indicate size, both of my girls were 1/2 lb off what they said they would be, so they're estimates at best. And size does not have any effect whatsoever on when baby will decide to come, so there's no way to say that just because she's measuring "big" that she a. will be big, or b. will come any earlier. Think about it, full term babies can be anywhere from 5 -10+ lbs, so why would measurements ten-twelve weeks earlier be any different in how much they vary? Edited because I forgot to actually fill out the questions LOL
How far along are you? When is your due date? What's the size of your LO? 27+6, due 5/8 What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? Midwife appointment on Wednesday. I'm not feeling too bad, except I get tired and out of breath easily. Otherwise, I still feel "small" compared to my twin pregnancy, so while I'm a little uncomfortable, it's nothing to complain about. Rant- Three of the houses we were planning on looking at this weekend were either contingent or sold before we had a chance to see them. Rave- We did like one of the houses we did see, and we have two more we plan on seeing tomorrow. On a plus side, I guess these houses selling so quickly is good news for us when we get our house on the market, which should be sooner than we thought after talking to our realtor on Saturday. Any upcoming appointments? Oops, see above. Just a regular midwife check up on Wednesday. GTKY: Has anyone ever told you that you look like a celebrity and who? I don't agree with any of them, but I've been told by random people that I look like Sandra Bullock, Hilary Swank, Jodie Sweetin, and Kellie Martin. Which doesn't even make sense because none of those people look like each other, either!! Alternate or bonus GTKY: What is one of your biggest pet peeves? Oh, so many. Bad grammar and spelling drive me insane, people who are perpetually late, people who can't drive (especially people that don't pull up into the intersection while waiting to turn left on a green light so they can go through when it turns yellow/red), loud eaters, people who say "like" all the time....ugh. So many. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Me, 35 Hubs, 32 Married June 2012 BFP June 2013- blighted ovum, D&C Aug 2013 BFP Oct 2013- twins! A&H born May 2014 BFP Aug 2017- EDD 5/8/17
@sandbar517 agree with all of your pet peeves! Perpetually late drives me nuts!
Yeah I’m trying not to think too much about the measuring stuff. I don’t want to get my hopes up that she’s going to come early and have her like 10 days late hahah.
GL on the house search! I loved looking at houses! It sounds like yours should be snatched up quickly!
How far along are you? When is your due date? What's the size of your LO? 27+2, due 5/12. Baby is the size of a head of cauliflower. What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? I'm feeling fine. Nothing to rant or rave about this week. Any upcoming appointments? One on 2/20. Just a regular check-in. GTKY: Has anyone ever told you that you look like a celebrity and who? When I was in college a few ppl told me I sort of looked like Kourtney Kardashian... I don't see it. Alternate or bonus GTKY: What is one of your biggest pet peeves? Late people. Aside from emergencies or unforeseen circumstances, I think tardiness is a sign of disrespect. I see it as a statement that you don't value other people's time. I've actually stopped seeing friends I've had for a while because they were constantly late. I'm not even talking 15 - 20 minutes, I mean 45 minutes to more than an hour. I went to a bar to meet a friend at 6:30pm. Knowing she'd be late I arrived at 6:50/55 and she didn't get there until 7:10pm. I wouldn't have cared so much if I was able to drink and take advantage of happy hour. Being that I'm pregnant I just sat there drinking water and having some bar snacks.
How far along are you? When is your due date? What's the size of your LO?
27 + 2, due may 12, a pair of lettuces
What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves?
Taking DS to great wolf lodge for his birthday and it’ll be our last time leaving town before babies get here so we’re going to try to make the most of it.
Any upcoming appointments?
I have my glucose test today then my regular OB appt. All with my 4 yr old in tow. Wish me luck! GTKY: Has anyone ever told you that you look like a celebrity and who? I had someone tell me I looked like Mila Kunis but they were drunk so I take that with a grain of salt. I’ve Also gotten Denise from the Cosby show....so yeah. Alternate or bonus GTKY: What is one of your biggest pet peeves?
when my husband flosses next to me or when he leaves the tv on all night then complains that he slept like shit. Ummm turn the tv off maybe?! Can’t think of any Non-DH related pet peeves right now haha
How far along are you? When is your due date? What's the size of your LO? 27w3d, 5/11, lettuce
What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? valentine's day? Ha. Im excited about some yimmy chocolate! Not a lot going on pregnancy wise. Little guy is a big mover, he weighed 2lb 4oz on u/s last Thursday (40th%tile) and was breech, but has flipped since then and it back to kicking up high, which I love. I passed my glucose test! Yay!
Any upcoming appointments? repeat 4D next week since he didn't cooperate for a single picture last week.
GTKY: Has anyone ever told you that you look like a celebrity and who? a couple in passing, when I was younger I was often told I favored Julia roberts.. I don't see it at all.
Alternate or bonus GTKY: What is one of your biggest pet peeves? Bad grammar and one-uppers/people whose good is always better than everyone else/bad is always worse than everyone else. Annoying. @bjkay22I wouldn't worry about size at all at this point. There's usually no concern until baby is 4 weeks off on a measurement and it's too early to correlate current weight to birth weight at this point.
@sandbar517 oh no, I say "like" a lot. I am trying to stop. I know it's terrible. It's a nervous tick when I speak publicly.
@bjkay22 I'm nervous about baby measuring early too. I feel like my bump is pretty big all of a sudden and I'm worrying I'm measuring ahead. I also temped so I feel like my dates are correct, but my mom thinks I'm going to have baby early based on my size (she had me 4 weeks early).
@lincbeesmom Have a wonderful time at Great Wolf Lodge!!
How far along are you? When is your due date? What's the size of your LO? 28w2d. 5/6. Size of an eggplant.
What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? Needing lots of naps. Feeling huge. Not the best start of a week, but hopefully gets better. But yay third tri!
Any upcoming appointments? Growth scan on Monday. I'm excited to see LO. Hopefully we find out how big he is and get more 3D pics. We got some at the anatomy scan that I wasn't expecting, so now I have my hopes up for more. Also regular OB appointment on Weds.
GTKY: Has anyone ever told you that you look like a celebrity and who? I dislike the celebs I get compared to: Uma Thurman and Princess Diana. Not personality, but looks-wise. Is what it is.
Alternate or bonus GTKY: What is one of your biggest pet peeves? Agree with @dee_ao and @sandbar517 on perpetually late people. I've been there with the waiting at a bar for friends while pregnant, sipping ginger ale and bored AF for 45 min.
Also agree with @SaVy_05 on one uppers. So annoying, but usually it means the person is insecure so whatever.
How far along are you? When is your due date? What's the size of your LO? 27 + 5 / May 10th
What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? I noticed recently that when sitting down on the floor, my belly feels like it's in the way for a few seconds until I get situated or pull it up a little. I feel huge compared to last time, but I won't know for sure until I hit 30 weeks and have a picture to compare with. @bjkay22 I'm scared that my baby will be huge too! With DD, the day I had her, they estimated 8.5 pounds and she was 8, so they can definitely be off.
Any upcoming appointments? I have one next week and DD's preschool is closed, so she'll have to come with me. I hate when she has to come as it's so hard to concentrate on the doctor and ask questions!
GTKY: Has anyone ever told you that you look like a celebrity and who? I've heard a lot of things, but most often, Alyson Hanigan or Hope Davis (most people don't know her).
Alternate or bonus GTKY: What is one of your biggest pet peeves? Loud breathing, except in an exercise class or something. Drives me up the wall.
How far along are you? When is your due date? What's the size of your LO? 28weeks today. Hello 3rd trimester. 5/11. Eggplant I think.
What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? So much has gone on. Monday I made the mistake of checking my BP at one of the machines at a drug store... 141/97, I waited 8 hours did it again at a different drug store and it was 154/96... way to high so I freaked and went to my OB the following day which it was at 124/84 then, so in the normalish range but obviously increasing from my norm 100ish/60ish BP. Had to go to the OB today for another BP check and it was 134/88. Even if the machines were off, it's evident that my BP is going up. So I get to do another 24hour pee in a jug test, and we are going to do steroid injections to develope baby's lungs in case we don't make it to the c/s, which now has to be scheduled for 37weeks instead of 39. So I will have an April baby
Any upcoming appointments? My next OB appointment is Feb 22nd.
GTKY: Has anyone ever told you that you look like a celebrity and who? Nope
Alternate or bonus GTKY: What is one of your biggest pet peeves? lol right now it seems that everything is a pet peeve. But I think the biggest thing is house guests or company messing with the settings on my tv. Step brother in law actually turned on subtitles on my hulu and it took me days to figure out how to get it off I wasn't impressed.
I wanna add that I am sorry I haven't been here in months. There isn't much of an excuse other than I have been really stressed and didn't want to take it out on anyone. I am still stressed but hoping that I can get through the next couple months with you all.
@Kendrajos so sorry about all the stress you've been having during the pregnancy. And I'm so sorry about the raising BP--I'm sure the stress hasn't been helping on that front I'm glad your OB is a solid plan for you and your LO and is keeping a good eye on your and your baby's health.
@lincbeesmom I made it to 38.5 weeks with my first son before being induced. Do you know if you are having BP issues also? I just wanna make it to full term. I am sorry that you might have BP issues again as well.
Re: Due Date Check In: Second Week of May (5/6-5/13) w/o 2/12
