Re: Wednesday Ticker Change 8/29
35 weeks! Pineapple!
2. How are you feeling?
Hungry and so tired and excited!
3. Any appointments this week?
I have the swab tomorrow at my appt.
4. Rants/ raves/ questions?
I’ve been so hot at night even with AC. Not fun.
5. GTKY - tell us something we don’t know about you!
After I took the bar exam instead of relaxing on the beach with my friends I went and climbed Mt. Rainier (unguided) and summited!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
33 weeks, loaf of bread/fanny pack
2. How are you feeling?
hormonal!!! I am so excited one minute, crying or yelling the next. It is exhausting to keep it together at work all day. Not too mention the pelvic pain, heartburn, BH, sleep deprivation. But then I think only a few short weeks and baby boy will be here and I am happy crying.
3. Any appointments this week? None this week. Last week saw OB and reviewed US. She told us what we already knew, he is measuring large by several weeks and we will just wait until 36 weeks for another growth scan. OB thinks we will have a better idea after that.
4. Rants/ raves/ questions?
Rave- We got the nursery painted but haven't had time to put anything else in his room. I cant wait to see it with furniture and I still need to order something to go on the wall over his crib. We are having maternity photos done this weekend and I am so excited to see how they turn out. Oh and Saturday is my birthday so I am looking forward to relaxing, getting my hair done and maybe some pool time.
Rant - hubby still has yet to try on his clothes for above mentioned maternity photos. I know he will wait until the last minute and they say nothing fits.

Hmmm this is tough... When I was little I wanted to be a unicorn when I grew up! One day I plan to throw my daughter a rainbow/unicorn themed party for her bday as long as I can get her onboard
34 - size of a butternut squash (although then it says 17.7", which makes me wonder what kind of crazy squash the Bump people grow!!)
2. How are you feeling?
Like @drb2424, hormonal! I'd been doing so well with that up until the last couple of weeks, and now I tear up at the drop of a hat!
Also starting to get nervous... I swing between nervous about the birth and nervous about going home with a baby!
3. Any appointments this week? I saw my midwife on Monday and everything is looking good. My belly is measuring right on track, little guy's heart rate was good, as was my blood pressure
4. Rants/ raves/ questions?
This weekend is a long weekend, and DH will be away - I guess that's both a rant and a rave... I miss him, and am extra emotional about him being away, but also am looking forward to being as lazy as I want!

For our honeymoon, my husband and I spent a week doing hard labour on our land - we had just bought a piece of property on the side of a mountain, and want to build a tiny house. We haven't built yet, but have two spots level and ready! It was such an unromantic honeymoon, but at the same time was perfect - just the two of us (and the dog), doing something to start preparing our life together.
2. How are you feeling? Tired. First week of school with my boys in pre-k and k. I'm glad there is another baby cooking because I get teary eyed thinking my boys are getting big! I do want them to grow up I just want to savor these moments and enjoy another round of pre-k and firsts.
3. Any appointments this week?Just chiro, but boy do I feel so much better than I did amonth ago. I thought my body was just going to fall apart. Still have occasional hip pain but its totally more manageable.
4. Rants/ raves/ questions?
Rant - DH got a promotion at work - yay. His new schedule sucks. It changes monthly. Sept is 6am to 3pm. Problem is I also work 6am to 330pm. Kids start school at 7:30am. There is no daycare around us that opens before 6am. So I'll be moving into my mom's Sun-Thurs so the kids don't have to wake up before 5am. I am so thankful for my tribe especially mom and sister!!
Rave - Holiday weekend - camping at Yogi Bear campground. Lawn chair for me and water park for kids!! Bring on the smore's!
5. GTKY - tell us something we don’t know about you!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 33 weeks, and the size of a Heineken mini-keg (so i'm guessing, based on appearances)
2. How are you feeling? Not great. This week was really rough. I've had a return of morning sickness, nonstop cramping and some painful contractions to boot. I think i need to as to work from home another day a week, which i hate doing, but everything hurts and i'm dying.
3. Any appointments this week? I had my regular appt this morning, and while they are concerned about the contractions, we are going to play it by ear and hope that its just my bodies way of waving the white flag. Next appt is in 2 weeks!
4. Rants/ raves/ questions? We successfully moved our 2yo son into his new room, including a big boy bed! I was expecting chaos, because everyone told me the worst thing we could do is attempt this so close to baby coming (not that we had a choice!) so i was anticipating spending weeks sleeping in a twin bed/waking up hourly/etc. but no - he loves the bed and new room, and took right to sleeping in it! Now i can clean the nursery and prep it for baby 2!
5. GTKY - tell us something we don’t know about you! I feel there's probably a lot people don't know about me as we are just an internet forum, lol. I'm a natural redhead? I used to play roller derby? I don't know how to ride a bike? take your pick!
35! Honeydew melon (I've seen pineapple-used, coconut-used, squash-used... )
2. How are you feeling?
Tired! Big, umm nervous is a good word for it. These babies are coming in 3 weeks or less and we have no where to put them! I'm hoping that isn't the case by the end of the week...
3. Any appointments this week?
Weekly! Tomorrow we have a check in and hopefully get a c section date
4. Rants/ raves/ questions?
Rave- basement reno is soo close to being done!! I just want to put everything together and make it our space and get these babies a place to sleep!! Lol
5. GTKY - tell us something we don’t know about you!
I don't think I'll ever know what I want to be when I grow up. I like my job and its good money so I'll stick with it but I've never had a dream job growing up
33 weeks! Celery?
2. How are you feeling?
Feeling better than last week. This past weekend DH and I gave ourselves a break and spent most of the weekend napping and doing nothing, and it was just what the doctor ordered.
3. Any appointments this week?
Routine check in tomorrow, going to bring my birth plan to review with my OB.
4. Rants/ raves/ questions?
Amazingly no real rants. Our birthing bootcamp is this upcoming weekend and DH said yesterday he was actually kind of looking forward to it. I am going to ride that wave for the rest of the week!
5. GTKY - tell us something we don’t know about you!
Eh, I'm really pretty boring. When I was in high school and college I worked in a bakery and ended up decorating cakes, like fancy 3D cakes and wedding cakes. I did them for a while after I left from home but haven't since we moved into our house (small space + cat = cake disasters), but am looking forward to decorating all of LO's birthday cakes in the future!
2. How are you feeling?
Physically pretty good still, tired since I’ve been waking up early for work again
3. Any appointments this week? Regular checkup Thursday
4. Rants/ raves/ questions? Not really, I’m just sick of trying to manage other people’s emotional issues (coworkers and family)
5. GTKY - tell us something we don’t know about you! I grew up raising goats! Would love to have a place with enough space to have them again someday
2. How are you feeling?
I’ve been feeling great
3. Any appointments this week?
Had my 32 week appointment yesterday and it went well. Dr. was very excited about me potentially having a vbac, which was refreshing. She said she believes it’s my best option at this point in time
4. Rants/ raves/ questions?
I’ve been placed on running restriction which is a bummer, but I’ll survive.
5. GTKY - tell us something we don’t know about you!
Hmmmm...I guess most people don’t know I’m vegetarian.
