1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
28 weeks, last scan he was around 2lbs 14oz, per the bump I've got an eggplant
2. How are you feeling?
Broken. The hip and back pain are something else and I just feel its too early to feel THIS uncomfortable. cannot wait til my chiro appt on Sat.
3. Any appointments this week? Had one this week at 28, won't be back until 32 weeks.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Traveling to Pittsburgh in a few weeks and my doctor gave me all my paperwork, just in case. Whoa!!
It's our 10 year anniversary today! 08.08.08 It happened so fast!! It's been a great week for us!
5. GTKY: Is there a book or toy you hope baby gets into? If so, what is it? I've got two toys I want for baby just because we already have attachment with my older sons and I can see them bonding with baby over - one is a hungry caterpillar plush/jack in the box. The other is a JackJack (Incredibles) teething toy. My boys like dressing up as Incredibles and of course they plan on making baby bro JackJack lol
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 32! Small duck!
2. How are you feeling? Hot and so tired and so big!
3. Any appointments this week? Still trying to get my TDAP.
4. Rants/raves/questions? My hair is actually so awesome right now. Thick and shiny and great volume. I know it will do a 180 at some point after pregnancy.
5. GTKY: Is there a book or toy you hope baby gets into? If so, what is it? I just hope this kid hates video games as much as I do. And enjoys board games and puzzles.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 30 weeks! Excited to be at the 10-weeks-left mark! A zucchini? Clearly TB app hasn't seen the zucchinis that have been growing in my garden, they are definitely not baby-sized.
2. How are you feeling? Eh. I'm mostly fine. Stress, tension, and I assume hormones has caused some annoying neck/jaw pain the last few days and I could do without it, but otherwise feeling fine.
3. Any appointments this week? No! First time in like three weeks, woot woot.
4. Rants/raves/questions? Been reading through a hypnobirthing book to help prepare my mind for what's ahead--anyone tried hypnobirthing before? Is it helpful?
5. GTKY: Is there a book or toy you hope baby gets into? If so, what is it? Board games because DH has been obsessively purchasing ALL kinds of board games for the last few months using the excuse "it's great for kids!" Except most of them are like for 8-year-old kids. So when this kid is 8, he better really want to play these.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 32- funnel cake!
2. How are you feeling? Overall I feel good! Getting kicked all the time, tired all the time, yesterday I think the babies had a growth spurt because I just couldn't eat enough!
3. Any appointments this week? Nope, had one last Friday, went well they told me not to go to class for 2 weeks because they dont want me 3+ hours away so I'm still home. Next appointment is next Thursday (:
4. Rants/raves/questions? Rant: Who said they have nice hair?! @rc-cola you lucky duck!! My hair feels so much worse lately!! Dry, breaking, I gotta go get it done soon...
5. GTKY: Is there a book or toy you hope baby gets into? If so, what is it? I hope I can find and get the babies into old cartoons like rugrats, blues clues, good cartoons! My little cousins love paw patrol, and doc mcstuffins and peppa pig or whatever and I'm sure they're fine but I like what I watched lol Toys, I hope that whatever they get into is something they each want, just because they're twins doesn't mean they aren't their own little people too. I want them to have some sort of Individuality in addition to being a twin(:
@mamabearcj as a twin I really appreciate your comment about your babies being their own little people! My parents did a great job giving us different clothes and toys. And of course we shared and swapped but it was nice to have my own things! When we got old enough to care (like 4+) we would also have separate birthday parties. Although looking back that seems like so much work!!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 32, the size of a Sherlock Holmes hat (how do they get come up with these?)
2. How are you feeling? Feeling full. Having a hard time accepting that I need to slow down a bit, which is silly, I know, but still.
3. Any appointments this week? Nope!
4. Rants/raves/questions? On a mini baby moon this week - so far it’s been great! Any med-free birth book recommendations? I should probably start reading one.
5. GTKY: Is there a book or toy you hope baby gets into? If so, what is it? oooh, so many good books! The Bunnicula series is especially great
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 30, and by my guess, a 30 lb bowling ball.
2. How are you feeling? Starting to slow down/get a little mentally fuzzy. Complex brain functions are taking much longer at work, so i just warned everyone that its only going to get worse, lol. Also having lots of braxton hicks, sometimes painful. I think my body is telling me to slow down at this point. (also, it hates the summer heat!)
3. Any appointments this week? Nope, i actually don't have anything until the end of the month, which is a nice little treat!
4. Rants/raves/questions? Still don't have safe water. Trying not to be a brat, because Flint went years without water, but it's also hard to not just accidentally drink the water/rinse a vegetable/brush my teeth while on pregnancy brain auto pilot.
5. GTKY: Is there a book or toy you hope baby gets into? If so, what is it? Nothing specific! I've found that with my 2 year old, different toys and books fall in and out of favor, so i guess i'm anticipating the same. I just hope this one doesn't get as obsessed with watching the same dang movie or show over and over. My son only wants to watch shrek, all day, errrday. We don't let him, but sometimes distract him with a shrek book, or the soundtrack. I listen to sooo much Smashmouth you guys.....
@rc-cola they'll probably be sharing a party for awhile lol but I get so many people asking me if I have matching holiday outfits in mind already. I mean I have color schemes in mind and sure they'll be in a matching outfit once in a while but for the most part I dont want them to match 100% I want them to compliment each other If that makes sense. Being a boy and girl will definitely help that I hope
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 32 weeks, as big as a squash
2. How are you feeling? Besides the cold I have I feel ok. The weekend was tough because I think the baby took up a position that put a lot of pressure on my bladder, but luckily she has adjusted to a less uncomfortable position.
3. Any appointments this week? I have my 32 week appt tomorrow. Doctor wasn’t available so I’m seeing a NP. First time I’m not seeing my usual doctor, but I’m expecting it to be a typical quick visit.
4. Rants/raves/questions? I just want my nose to stop leaking like a faucet. Between that and my lungs being cramped by the baby it’s not the most fun in this heat.
5. GTKY: Is there a book or toy you hope baby gets into? If so, what is it? the first thing that popped it into mind was hat r would be fun reading Goodnight Moon to my baby. It’s the only one that I remember from my childhood.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 30 weeks, head of cabbage??
2. How are you feeling? Sooo tired! The fatigue has hit me hard this week. Also having more contractions and heartburn still going strong. Oh and hot! So so hot!
3. Any appointments this week? Ultrasound tomorrow to check babies growth and fluid
4. Rants/raves/questions? I’m over the summer heat and humidity.
5. GTKY: Is there a book or toy you hope baby gets into? If so, what is it? None in particular but just hope he loves books as much as me and DD! I am also big into board games so hopefully he will enjoy those in the future!
@tropical1982 happy anniversary! Did you guys do anything special to celebrate?
We did a babymoon/anniversary cruise back in May because I figured I'd be uncomfortable now. Yeah, we were supposed to go to the beach this weekend and I'm glad I cancelled that. My back pain in just too bad. Instead I have an exciting chiro appt Sat. Yesterday morning I envisioned a romantic Italian dinner - by the time DH got off work, I had gone to jury duty, Target run, and dealing with my kids...I was asking to just order pizza and wings and stay in - on my couch! We compromised and actually went to the wing place. 10 years - he gets me! LOL
