1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 31 weeks. Baby is the size of a jar of nutella or a foam finger. (What to Expect says Coconut...TB told me that 9 weeks ago..)

2. How are you feeling? I'm miserable. I'm so over all of the symptoms: pressure on my pelvic, restless legs, crying, not being able to get comfortable to sleep, low energy, puking. All of it.

3. Any appointments this week? Checkup on Wednesday next week

4. Rants/raves/questions?
I called my OB to see if there was anything I could do for restless legs. I was told I'd have to see my PCP about it. The nurse asked when I was diagnosed, I said it was never formally diagnosed just all of the symptoms and it's only been during pregnancy. She said there's even less they can do because there's no formal diagnosis. My PCP has already made it pretty clear she doesn't do much when someone is pregnant. She didn't want to do any of my normal blood work, won't give me the TDAP, etc. I feel seeing her would be useless. So instead I'm miserable and have to figure out how to make this work for 9 more weeks.

5. GTKY: Is there a book or toy you hope baby gets into? If so, what is it? I fully plan to read G the HP books, and read them to SS at the same time. I registered for the 3 illustrated versions, which I really want to read with him. Other than that, I just hope that he loves to read as much as his momma and brother.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 31 weeks. baby is the size of a pineapple

2. How are you feeling? Exhausted and giant. Took me forever this morning to find a shirt that was actually big enough to cover my entire belly. Ugh, I've almost outgrown all of my old maternity clothes. I look now at 31 weeks like I did previously at 36-37 weeks. Meh. Even my stretchy jeans are at max stretch, lol. i'm almost afraid the seams will start to give soon. might have to switch to dresses going forward..

3. Any appointments this week? Appointment today with my actual OB (instead of the rotation of other docs from the practice). treating myself to something yummy after the appointment on my way back to work....not sure what it'll be yet though.

4. Rants/raves/questions? I'm over all of this anxiety (which manifests as anger). I need a dang chill pill. My poor boys are taking the brunt of it and its not fair to them. I know it'll likely only get worse once baby arrives since i've had PPA/PPD both times previously. Really starting to wonder if placenta encapsulation isn't worth a shot this go round....even if it is just placebo effect.

5. GTKY: Is there a book or toy you hope baby gets into? If so, what is it? I'm hoping this kiddo takes to the lovey blanket and a paci to self soothe like my last son. Other then that, we have a crap ton of books and love to read so i would be shocked if this kid doesn't show interest. The Sandra Boynton books and the touch/feel books are always big hits in our house for newbies.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 32, bento box, hard hat, extra large pizza box (with all the the others checking in this week.... where are they getting these sizes from?!)

2. How are you feeling? Super tired most of the time, emotional, hot and large, but also excited and I think reality has set in after 32 weeks that another human will be around in a few weeks

3. Any appointments this week? I had one yesterday but not again until the 21st

4. Rants/raves/questions? I'm not sure if this is a rant or a rave, my doctor ordered an u/s for my next appointment so we can see baby, but not really bc of any concern. I'm excited to see her but at the same time I hope my insurance covers most of it bc I don't want to pay for it haha. Also we're going to look at a house tomorrow. Our plan was to do a serious house search when DD turns 5 (she's 2.5) but a house popped up that looks like it might work for us. We love stress so I'm expecting that we will get this house and have to move when LO is a few weeks old

5. GTKY: Is there a book or toy you hope baby gets into? If so, what is it? Hmmm, nothing in particular, but I hope she's at least into some of the same sort of stuff DH and I are into

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 30 wks, YAY 3/4 of the way there. Zucchini, truth be told I don't understand any of these what size are your baby things, is it going by weight height an average zucchini it just makes no sense.

2. How are you feeling? I feel like everyone else say, just so darn grumpy, tons to do and no time to do it. Trying to decide on paint colors and that's going nowhere. I just want to sleep and get someone to come in and clean.

3. Any appointments this week? none this week but next friday I have an U/S and I took off the whole day for it so I'm hoping to get some things done.

4. Rants/raves/questions? The doctors keep calling me high risk because I'm doing a vbac and had post-eclampsia last time, but it really pisses me off I don't feel like I'm any more at risk than the average vbac which I get is higher risk

5. GTKY: Is there a book or toy you hope baby gets into? If so, what is it? Not really, ideally the toys I already own HA HA

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 30 weeks, zucchini or coconut (I'm with everyone else on this...where do they come up with the size comparisons??)

2. How are you feeling? I guess okay, mostly just having issues getting comfortable to sleep so I'm super tired.

3. Any appointments this week? Had one yesterday and have another one next week because I got the official GD diagnosis yesterday and I'm going on insulin

4. Rants/raves/questions? Nope, but I think I'll head over to the GD thread because I have some diet questions.

5. GTKY: Is there a book or toy you hope baby gets into? If so, what is it? Being a giant bookworm myself, you'd think I would have an answer but honestly I just hope this kid really likes books and reading! DS loves books and he's even started bringing books to DH and I saying "read book" which just makes me so happy!

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 31 weeks, i have no idea what size but it seems the consensus is it's all BS anyways

2. How are you feeling? I have slept great this week. Really don't want to jinx it. I feel massive though, same as @dellusion I'm the same size at 31 weeks as I was about 36 with DS. I should really stop comparing the pictures...

3. Any appointments this week? nope

4. Rants/raves/questions? I'm feeling less overwhelmed now that our nursery has floors (yay!) but the to-do list still seems so long...

5. GTKY: Is there a book or toy you hope baby gets into? If so, what is it? i hope this baby loves the exersaucer because that thing was a dream with DS. Other than that I'm not too picky, i do hope they enjoy books as I'm also a bookworm

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 29 weeks. Baby is the size of a barbie convertible.

2. How are you feeling? Done. I'm exhausted this week, but work has been a bitch, so I know that's a lot to do with it. Getting up from laying down hurts my back hips so freaking much. I'm just waiting for new stretch marks to start popping up; all my old ones are starting to be pretty noticeable even though they're the same color as the rest of my pasty belly. I did pass my 1-hour by the most I ever have, so I'm trying to remind myself that even though I feel the biggest and worst I have of my three, the exercise and continuing to run really is helping me stay healthier.

3. Any appointments this week? Checkup on next Friday.

4. Rants/raves/questions? If this baby ends up a girl, I'm seriously concerned she'll never be named. DH keeps suggesting names "that he doesn't love, but could get used to." FFS dude, don't suggest it if you don't like it and you'll have to get used to it!!

5. GTKY: Is there a book or toy you hope baby gets into? If so, what is it? Please dear god love the swing like your older sister. Or just love your older sibling(s) madly like your sister - built in entertainment is a godsend. Please like being worn - otherwise we're going to have problems.

macheno · August 2018

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 29 weeks, a large cabbage or large butternut squash, a stuffed care-bear doll

2. How are you feelthe heartburn is real, and wakes me up at night so I've started sleeping propped up. Insomnia is still an issue. Lower back and hip pain after work. exhaustion at the end of the day has come back.

3. Any appointments this week? No, I have one in 2 weeks.

4. Rants/raves/questions? I've been feeling really bad lately that we still have so much to do- classes, nursery, hospital tour- and not much time left. I'm so tired after work and it's hard to motivate myself.

5. GTKY: Is there a book or toy you hope baby gets into? If so, what is it? Nothing specifically, just hope he likes the stuff we got him.
