Re: PGAL check in w/o 10/3
29+6
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?
On and off sore. Always tired! I think I set a new record for myself- I got up to pee 6x times the night before last!
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
Yesterday morning was a little scary, I couldn't get LO to move- she was eerily still, and it took me chugging a 20 oz Coke to get her to thump around. Even after I drank it, it still took her an hour to wake up, but then she went about her normal kicking and thrashing.
4. Any appointment updates?
Nope, nothing until Friday. I get an u/s, I think it's my last one.
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
Just work and counting down the days!
6. GTKY: favorite movie quote? Feel free to gif!
I have so many. Apparently most if them involve swearing, so not really sure what that says about me
1. How far along are you? Any milestones?
29+6 omgomgomgomgomgggggggg
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?
not bad. I figured out what my pelvis feeling is (mentioned in symptoms? or due date check?) anyway, when i walk it feels like i rode a bike or a horse yesterday. Not really sore or painful, but just a feeling that there is something going on lol. And i'm constantly in need of a nap. BUT! I made it through the night last night without getting up to pee, so that's a huge win!
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
Pretty good. At least at this point, if i go into labor and need to give birth, there's a great chance of viability.
4. Any appointment updates?
Regular OB check on monday, but nothing crazy.
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
Packing packing packing! We move in less than a week! Sorry it's all i can talk about, but i'm sooooo ready!
6. GTKY: favorite movie quote? Feel free to gif!
ahhemmmm.....
and soooooo many more!
@morgantu Hocus Pocus is one of my favorite movies and I just bought tickets to see it in theaters before Halloween. AMC is showing it in some theaters the week before.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones?
29+2
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?
Tired! And a lot of uncomfortable pressure in my pelvis recently, I am guessing he is hanging out down low but it's very annoying when I get up to walk around my office and I feel like I am waddling.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
Pretty good. LO has been pretty active so that comforts me whenever I have a moment of concern.
4. Any appointment updates?
30 week appointment is Monday. Nothing exciting but per my OB, my 32 week appointment will include an ultrasound which I haven't had since 20 weeks so I'm excited to see what he's doing in there.
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
I am still recovering from my busy week/weekend last week! My 4 nights out in a row were well worth it though. Kevin Hart was definitely the highlight, he was much funnier than I expected him to be. And I won a Michael Kors bag at purse bingo!
6. GTKY: favorite movie quote? Feel free to gif!
I have too many so I picked my favorites haha I also couldn't find a good one from The American President but I love basically every quote in that movie.
@morgantu Good luck with the move! The next few weeks will fly!
@lippy625 Congratulations on winning the purse! Sounds like you had a wonderful week!
1. How far along are you? Any milestones?
27+2 86 days or less left! I am way past my milestone!
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?
Just tired and sore. I feel like I have to pee every 30 minutes
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
Pretty good, because of all of the movement, but doubts still creep in
4. Any appointment updates?
I have my glucose test on Saturday and then my 20 week appointment on Monday.
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
It has been really wanting this week, so we are enjoying being able to go outside and burn off some toddler energy!
6. GTKY: favorite movie quote? Feel free to gif!
28w5d
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?
So far so good, but only 5 days into 3rd tri, so that could be why. I could always use more sleep...
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
I think okay. I guess I distract myself by shopping, which probably isn’t the best.
4. Any appointment updates?
28 week doppler appointment last Friday was fine, have 30 week scan next week.
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
Just more work than usual still - that’ll probably continue for another month or so. Counting down to Thanksgiving (Black Friday sales and plan to start leave then)! Otherwise, I started going to a prenatal yoga class that’s sort of more exercise than yoga - but I got a Groupon for like 20 classes (and so can walk there) so I’ll keep going. And unrelated, I need to eat more vegetables.
6. GTKY: favorite movie quote? Feel free to gif!
I’m boring and hardly watch movies. We are going to see Free Solo this Friday night though.

@morgantu WOW! You didn't have to get up to pee!!?? I'm impressed!
@lippy625 Ohh! I need you to spam your MK bag!
@katy0990 GL on your glucose test!
@artemis618 Good for you on the exercise!
1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 31w3d (WHAT!!!???)
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? I feel like I've been hypoglycemic quite a bit lately. I get hungry, shaky, woozy, and sweaty and sometimes it's only been around 2.5 - 3 hrs after I've eaten. Obviously, I'm going to talk to my doc, because not cool.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? Pretty good for the most part! Owen is still moving around a ton, which is great!
4. Any appointment updates? I had an sizing US last Thursday and he's measuring a week and a half ahead and is in the 96th percentile. They said if he continues to measure this far ahead, they'll start doing NSTs at 34 weeks.
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): I've actually gotten quite a bit done at my house, so I'm starting to feel a bit better. I can't BELIEVE that we only have 7.5 weeks left till he's here.

1. How far along are you? Any milestones?
31w + 3d
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?
Tired, back ache, heartburn, waddling. Not sleeping well.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
Good until today. She has moved a good amount the past week & I haven't had to worry. My belly has been achy/crampy today and she's been pretty quiet. No likey! Hoping she wiggles a lot at dinner.
4. Any appointment updates?
I have my 32w appt Fri & we will pick my c-section date, whoot! If Dr still wants 36 weeks, I am going to pick 11/7 if it's possible. 5w from today! Eek!
I start 2x a week appts at the Perinatal Center on Tue as well.
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
Busy busy & tired! Lots of appts, the school grind for my son + football and cub scouts. Their Homecoming Football game was Sat & it was so cute. I made him a poster to hang on the fence. DH & I walked him out onto the field to announce him. Then the team ran out through a smoke bomb.
6. GTKY: favorite movie quote? Feel free to gif!
I don't know! I've never had the memory for this, even before pregnancy. lol. Will edit if I think of something!
@artemis618 I am a big Black Friday shopper and I am starting to get my list together. I'll share any good baby related deals I find
@texas_t I hope your dr can help with the hypoglycemic feelings, that has to be no fun! See spoiler for the bag I won. Definitely not something I would've bought myself (I hardly ever wear brown tones so all my every day bags are black or gray) but it's a great size so I've already used it a few times.
@mommythlegend I am still in disbelief how close we are getting to our due dates, how exciting that your LO might be here in a little over a month!
@lippy625 Glad you had a fun weekend!
@texas_t Sorry you haven’t been feeling great. I hope your doctor has some answers for you.
29.4 No more milestones!
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?
Sometimes feeling like this baby is going to come straight out of my belly. Other times just generally feeling slowed down and big.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
Feeling good right now. Baby girl is wiggling away in there at the moment!
4. Any appointment updates?
Still not until next week.
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
I finally have a showing on my house tonight! It’s been weeks! Other than that I’m thinking about Halloween right now and what I can make DD be. And how well she will do with trick or treating. Hopefully she’ll enjoy it!
6. GTKY: favorite movie quote? Feel free to gif!
Oh I have a million but here’s a couple:
My nice night of sleep was a 1 off. I o my had to pee once last night, but it was after i laid in bed for 3 hours awake. Finally moved to the couch and fell asleep (dunno why that worked) but I'm dragggging today
