1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?

31 weeks tomorrow - asparagus!

2. How are you feeling?

My feet are killing me, but otherwise I feel great!

3. Any appointments this week?

Not this week. I have an OB appointment next Thursday.

4. Rants/raves/questions?

I can't believe I'm in the single digits for weeks left!

5. What are you doing this week to prepare for baby’s arrival?

I never got around to the stuff from last week, so putting together the crib, making space for it, washing clothes...

6. GTKY: What is your favorite hot beverage? Do you make it at home or do you buy it someplace else?

Hot tea with sugar. Earl Grey is my favorite, but I also really like Constant Comment. Really any black tea will do, though I prefer plain black tea to flavored in spite of my favorites.

I make it at home. I can't bring myself to pay for it because it seems stupid to pay the prices places ask for a cup of hot water and a teabag.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?

30w! ...zucchini, which is way smaller than butternut squash from last week ...????

2. How are you feeling?

i was just thinking this morning that my body actually feels better now than it did in 1st and 2nd trimester. heartburn bugging me, out of breath easily, a complete baffoon trying to getup/sit down on the floor or roll over in bed but otherwise not too shabby.

3. Any appointments this week?

a mfm appt on tuesday, discovered another potential issue. got my flu shot on sunday, woot woot.

4. Rants/raves/questions?
ugh really not happy that cold season is upon us— dh had a particularly bad bug this past week, and dd caught a completely different cold on tuesday and has been coughing/sneezing/sneak attack rubbing her runny nose all over me since. i cannot get sick right now. nope. not gonna let it happen.
5. What are you doing this week to prepare for baby’s arrival?
still working on b’s baby blanket.
6. GTKY: What is your favorite hot beverage? Do you make it at home or do you buy it someplace else? my favorite is glühwein or german mulled wine. if i do see someplace that sells it by the cup i’ll always try their version but it’s pretty rare to find where we’re at. therefore we usually make it at home with a couple bottles of wine and our own blend of fruit and spices. after the initial steep, it does well to strain then rebottle leftovers and heat more by the mug later. makes for a very cozy evening, indeed.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?

32, squash

2. How are you feeling?

Horrible hip and tailbone pain, along with a bad head cold.

3. Any appointments this week?

Yes, midwife said the tailbone pain is from baby’s position, head down and not going anywhere. I also have BV and a yeast infection.

4. Rants/raves/questions?
Had a pity party for myself with feeling so much more uncomfortable than I was with DS, plus the double infection and head cold. I’m lucky to not have complications and baby is healthy, I just keep reminding myself of that.

5. What are you doing this week to prepare for baby’s arrival?
Little weekend getaway with DH to his friends wedding

6. GTKY: What is your favorite hot beverage? Do you make it at home or do you buy it someplace else?
Coffee!!!!!!!!!!! Both

highsteaks · September 2018

@millerbear56 i’m sorry you’re sick and in so much pain. being sick while pregnant is so so miserable. hope you’re feeling somewhat better for this weekend’s trip.

@MojieJo i love earl grey too! i think i’ll have a cup this morning instead of coffee and think of you.

Hi ladies! Finally got on here for the first time in what seems like forever. Anyone else have major issues with the app? Every time I open it it makes me log in again - and then brings me to a weird page where I can’t find my boards... or any bmbs for that matter. So frustrating!

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
- 29 weeks, acorn squash

2. How are you feeling?
- Overall pretty good, I can’t really complain too much besides the heartburn and lingering nausea that never went away. My hips have started aching at night which sucks. My go to sleeping positions that helped that last time aren’t working this time either!

3. Any appointments this week?
- regular prenatal this past Tuesday, nothing very eventful. Last weekend I ended up going to labour & delivery after baby didn’t move much all day (still met the minimum for movements but much more subtle and less frequent than usual). Everything check out ok though - they did NST and it was detecting way more movement than I was feeling, also did an ultrasound and baby looked great.

4. Rants/raves/questions?
- see above rant about the bump app, otherwise I’m good haha

5. What are you doing this week to prepare for baby’s arrival?
- Reno’s Reno’s Reno’s. We’re still in the process of finishing our basement which ideally we want done before the baby gets here. We can’t even start on the nursery on the main floor until we get our bedroom finished down there. I know we won’t really need an nursery right away but I want to organize.

6. GTKY: What is your favorite hot beverage? Do you make it at home or do you buy it someplace else?

hands down, coffee. I usually make it a home. Counting down the days until I’m not pregnant and can drink a cup without crazy heartburn or nausea afterwards. Blah!

highsteaks · September 2018

@mellemarie i have seen a few other members mention having the same issue with the app last week. i know the bump did a major “update” earlier this month, and everything was wonky for a little bit; i bet it’s related.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?

30w. Babies are the size of Zucchini.

2. How are you feeling?

I'm feeling pretty good, but the fatigue is hitting me a LOT harder this trimester. The feet/ankle swelling has also been ridiculous lately. It goes away once I take a rest and put my feet up, but it's hard for me to "take it easy" because I'm such a go getter.

3. Any appointments this week?

I had my first appointment with my new OB yesterday. It went really well. I like him and his staff. I've heard tons of good feedback from other patients - including other twin mommies.

4. Rants/raves/questions?
People keep telling me that I don't look nearly as big as they would expect for 30w with twins...but I feel freaking HUGE and stepping on the scale certainly does not help. I'm really worrying about whether or not I'll EVER be able to wear any of my pre-baby clothes, which is a real struggle for me because I worked really hard to get where I was before babies.

5. What are you doing this week to prepare for baby’s arrival?
Organizing all of our stuff from the baby shower and trying to figure out what else we need to order. We're also going to a Baby Boot Camp this weekend and I'll probably start putting together our hospital bags.

6. GTKY: What is your favorite hot beverage? Do you make it at home or do you buy it someplace else?
I love warm apple cider! We just buy it from the store and warm it up at home.

@highsteaks thanks, hopefully it is related and they resolve it shortly!
