1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 30 Weeks - Half a large Cheesecake Factory cheesecake. Yes please.
2. How are you feeling? Pretty good. I was so sore this weekend, but today isn't quite as bad.
3. Any appointments this week? Nope
4. Rants/raves/questions? My blood test for GD came back saying I'm anemic. I'm attempting to just add in some iron-rich foods for now. I found a cereal that will give me half of what I need daily so that is easy enough. Plus it's my favorite cereal, so everyone wins really. My mom overheard me telling someone about it this weekend and now she is freaking out. It's getting annoying. I keep telling her it's not a big deal, but she's convinced that I'm dying. This morning she just kept telling me how exhausted I looked this weekend and how she could tell I'm sick. I actually felt pretty good all weekend long and had more energy than usual, but thanks for letting me know how crappy I look. Really appreciate it. I'm not sick, I just have low iron like a lot of other pregnant women.
5. GTKY: Is there a book or toy you hope baby gets into? If so, what is it? It would be nice if he was into the Marvel Universe like DH and me. Harry Potter would be fun too.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 29 weeks - gallon of milk

3. Any appointments this week? Infant CPR class today and starting our Hospital classes tomorrow (it's 1x/week for 6 weeks and includes BFing, delivery, and newborn care)
4. Rants/raves/questions? Just ranty from my headache
5. GTKY: Is there a book or toy you hope baby gets into? If so, what is it? I just hope she likes books in general. Kind of hoping she gets into Barbies I loved mine growing up
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 31 weeks- the size of an 11 lb jar of nutella

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 28 weeks, an eggplant
2. How are you feeling? I’ve been feeling a bit dizzy because my blood pressure has been low. I’m trying to make sure I drink enough water.
3. Any appointments this week? 28 week appt today which means the glucose test, Tdap shot, and rhogam shot. Fun times.
4. Rants/raves/questions? I need to get myself in gear and start actually preparing stuff for this baby. We have done almost nothing and I feel like all of a sudden it’s going to be October and we’re going to be scrambling to get things in order.
5. GTKY: Is there a book or toy you hope baby gets into? If so, what is it? Harry Potter! DD just recently got into it and it is so much fun reliving it all through her!

1. 32 weeks yesterday, baby is the size of a squash
2. I’m feeling pretty good
3. Yes, 32 week appointment is on Friday
4. Are we crazy for deciding to renovate our entire kitchen before baby arrives? DH placed the order for our new cabinets last night and they should arrive in 3 weeks.. so I’ll be 35+ weeks then. I hope baby stays put while demo and installation are happening. Now we need to order countertops and new appliances. Deep breaths. This will all work out, right? I’ll have a functioning kitchen when baby arrives, right? Right?!? Eek!
@ladyofarlington - I was so stressed that my bathroom remodel wasn’t going to get done before baby arrived- and I was doing that during 2nd trimester. I totally know what you are saying.
@knottieamusements - The stress is unreal. Happy yours and all worked out! (Runs away and breathes into paper bag)... and it will all work out here too (positive thinking, right!)... and more deep breathing into a paper bag. Eek!
