Well! Generally headachey and tired but mostly really good.
3. Any appointments this week?
Yup. Glucose test Friday.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
This child is riding so. Fricken. Low. I’m losing my mind.
5. GTKY: If you won the Mega Millions this week (~500M USD), what would you do with it?
We’d build our forever house. I guess if we had no budget that might burn as much as 3-4m, because we’d probably offer someone a crazy abount of money for their land first so we could put it exactly where we want (probably on a pond or on the Charles river). I still wouldn’t want the house to be too big though.
Then we’d burn mortgages for my friends and cousins, probably buy my brother a house outright, and set up 529s to get all their kids through college. I’d have taken the money anonymously and had a lawyer claim it, and I might even get crazy and ask them all to sign NDAs so we didn’t have to deal with anyone else we don’t know asking though.
Whatever is leftover we would donate to charity. That would take a lot of thinking, but given the current shit show at the border I’d probably start by posting bail for as many of the incarcerated parents and families as I could. A significant chunk would have to go to pediatric cancer research too, because I’m a survivor.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 30 weeks, zucchini
2. How are you feeling?
Good, anxious. This week I’m meeting with my normal OB practice for a standard check up (and follow up on last week’s scare) and then I have another OB appointment with a new office tomorrow. I really want a second opinion on a VBA2C but I’m starting to scare myself out of it.
3. Any appointments this week?
see above
4. Rants/raves/questions?
5. GTKY: If you won the Mega Millions this week (~500M USD), what would you do with it?
I really don’t know. Obviously quit my job... maybe a new house? A boat? Buy pregnancy clothes that fit?
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 28 weeks, eggplant
2. How are you feeling?

3. Any appointments this week?

4. Rants/raves/questions?
Finally had my pre-inspection for on post housing this morning and will be transferred to new housing sometime in August.I can't wait to finally be able to set up the baby's nursery! Happy that's taken care of, now I just have to study for my final exam then it's road-trip time to Michigan
5. GTKY: If you won the Mega Millions this week (~500M USD), what would you do with it?
Pay off my husband's student loans and trade in his truck for any of the ones he's had his eye on. I am already getting a new vehicle so I would just pay that off and have my current car fixed to sell it. Put money into 529's as well for the kids (we are about to start one for DD1). Hire someone to renovate my parents homes (they have 2 that are fixer uppers). Help my in-laws as well. I would still have more than enough left over I wouldn't know what to do with. My husband would most likely not re-enlist after this term and we would have money for land and to build a house. He loves to fish so we could get a nice fishing boat and I could have horses (again, finally). I am sure he would continue to work or at least find odd jobs I would contemplate on it haha. I could just stay home with the kiddos and be satisfied.
Yup... just a regular check up, the every two week ones are starting...
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Nope!
5. GTKY: If you won the Mega Millions this week (~500M USD), what would you do with it?
Pay off Student Loans, Build Dream House, Probably both quit our jobs and actually do something we really love instead, and help out family as much as we could (I think knowing how much to share would be the hardest part)
I really want a second opinion on a VBA2C but I’m starting to scare myself out of it.
I had a successful vbac with my last pregnancy 6 years ago. It was amazing! Everything went smoothly and I only needed 2 internal stitches. I was up and walking hours later no issue. It is okay be to scared. If your doctor is willing to let you give it a try ...go for it.

4. Rants/raves/questions? Nope

5. GTKY: If you won the Mega Millions this week (~500M USD), what would you do with it?
Pay off student loan, pay off my car loan. Get new cars for hubby and I. Renovate our house so we can sell it or rent it. Build a new house. Pay off my parents and MILs debt. Buy them houses and cars if they wanted them. Invest money for retirement. Donate to some local charities. I probably would quit my job, but I might go down to part time.
