    How many weeks/How big is baby? 33 weeks, celery stalk
     
    How's Mama doing? (symptoms etc.) I'm doing ok. Heartburn is killing me and baby is still breech. I have my second acupuncture appt tomorrow and will go to chiropractor tomorrow afternoon. I'm really giving it my best effort to have baby flipped by 34 weeks, but am getting a bit discouraged. I know there are still options left, but I would really like baby to flip without having to go in for a version. And I really don't want my final baby to be a c-section. I've never had one before and the thought is a huge stressor. 

    Any appointments this week? Just the aforementioned chiropractor and acupuncture appts.

    Rants/Raves/Concerns: We are officially in the option period on our home after accepting an offer on Sunday. I am so relieved and hopeful that it will work out. If so, close date is 10/24. That gives us a few weeks to be able to move slowly from this house to our new house. Now just hoping the new house is done in about 3 weeks!

    GTKY: Favorite hot beverage? (stealing from other Ticker Change) If I'm not worrying about calories or sugar, I love caramel macchiatos. So yummy! I'm also a huge fan of english breakfast tea.

    How many weeks/How big is baby?
    31 weeks, baby is the size of a bunch of asparagus. Except probably bigger since I’m always measuring 2 weeks ahead      :D 
     
    How's Mama doing? (symptoms etc)
    I’m doing well. I’ve had a couple rough nights recently with insomnia and restlessness. BH are annoying and I’ve had some mild heartburn, but not terrible. 

    Any appointments this week?
    Normal 2-week OB check-up on Friday. 

    Rants/Raves/Concerns:
    Baby has taken a recent interest in either punching or head butting my cervix, so that’s fun... not. Little one is strong enough that it makes me flinch and gasp every time. Ow.
    I’ve had some what I believe to be contractions in the middle of the night that hurt so much they invade my dreams and end up waking me. They’re bad enough that I need to focus on breathing through them. Something I’m going to ask my OB about Friday. Idk what’s normal or not being a FTM, so I’d rather ask and her tell me no worries than ignore it.

    I’m right there with @wannaflickone
    Caramel Macchiatos are my fave, but so much sugar! English breakfast tea is so yummy and a typical morning staple for me.

         33 weeks. The size of a junior tennis racket apparently 
    How's Mama doing? (symptoms etc.)
    feeling ok. Def more clumsy than ever. Heartburn isn’t as severe as last week. Mostly just uncomfortable
    Any appointments this week?
    yep, one tomorrow. I think it’s just a check in but it’ll be nice to see the baby on an ultrasound 
    Rants/Raves/Concerns:
    rave: my shower is this Sunday. I’m excited but I really need to clean out the room we are using for the baby. And by me, I mean my DH since most of the stuff in there is his. He’s working a lot of overtime this week so it’s all about the timing of my reminding (nagging) for it to be effective
    GTKY: Favorite hot beverage? (stealing from other Ticker Change) 
    Not a huge fan of hot drinks other than coffee or hot cocolate and (when I’m not pregnant) it’s always nice to have some baileys or Jameson mixed in

     30 Weeks, zucchini
    How's Mama doing? (symptoms etc.)
    Tired, having trouble staying asleep and keeping comfortable, definitely sluggish at work. Heartburn's in full effect too.
    Any appointments this week?
    None
    Rants/Raves/Concerns:
    I was so happy that one of my 3 contracts ended, and thought I'd have more energy for the other two contracts but lately I feel like the momentum I had is fairly staggered. Also that third trimester to-do list is ticking in my ear, even though I have at least 10 more weeks to get everything done.
    GTKY: Favorite hot beverage? (stealing from other Ticker Change) 
    Lately it's been Matcha latte. I love coffee, chai tea, and hot chocolate. I definitely dig the caramel macchiatto. I also like to make myself some ginger lemon tea in the afternoon when I'm feeling super motivated.

    How many weeks/How big is baby? 30 weeks / Coconut 
     
    How's Mama doing? (symptoms etc.) Nauseous I never dreamed I would be sick the entire pregnancy but it will be worth it in 9ish weeks.  

    Any appointments this week? Regular 2 week check up 9/20

    Rants/Raves/Concerns:I went from feeling like we were on track prepared to way behind. We need to finish painting the nursery and pick out a name before i lose my mind. 

    GTKY: Favorite hot beverage? (stealing from other Ticker Change) When not pregnant there is a place here that makes AMAZING coffee!! I love flavored drinks as well but this coffee is the best.

    @wannaflickone I know I said this last week but I'm REALLY hoping this week's the week of the flip! 

    @rosebud1230 hoping your OBGYN puts your mind at ease regarding the painful contractions 

    @bswishes4 & @arieselle +1 to the feeling behind group

    How many weeks/How big is baby?     30 weeks, baby's the size of zucchini
     
    How's Mama doing? (symptoms etc.) Personally feeling fine except for being a little tired, but mentally and emotionally exhausted after yesterday's OBGYN appointment and discussing the possibility that I could have this baby as early as next week if I don't respond to BP meds or things get worse... 
     
    Any appointments this week? See above re:yesterday. I have a follow-up tomorrow so please keep fingers crossed for some improvements. 

    Rants/Raves/Concerns: Continued big concern about my BP being very high. Hopeful that my 24 hour urine test is fine like the bloodwork that was done yesterday, and that my BP check-in tomorrow goes better than yesterday's.

    GTKY: Favorite hot beverage? (stealing from other Ticker Change) Coffee, warm apple cider or my mom's homemade hot cocoa :)

    @ginny_203 fingers crossed for good news tomorrow! 

    How many weeks/How big is baby?
     30

    How's Mama doing? (symptoms etc.)
    I’m feeling pretty good

    Any appointments this week?
    Had a regular check up today and got my tdap. Scheduled the remainder of my appointments, which really makes it feel like the end is near. 

    Rants/Raves/Concerns:
    Still trying to navigate diabetes. I’ve met with 3 dieticians and talked to an OB about it, and it’s incredible how conflicting some of the advice has been. 

    GTKY: Favorite hot beverage? (stealing from other Ticker Change) Latte.

    @ginny_203 Thank you! Had acupuncture and chiro today. One more round of acupuncture on Friday, so we will see! I am praying that tomorrow's follow up shows big improvement for your blood pressure. As impossible as it may sound, I really hope you are able to relax and rest and let the medicine work. I'm sure you have a wonderful care team surrounding you. Sending lots of positive thoughts.

    @bswishe4 if it makes you feel any better in terms of preparedness, our house that we are building isn't ready. Our current one is under contract and will close two weeks before baby arrives. We have literally nothing for the baby other than a bassinet. All my saved baby clothes are in storage.
