31 weeks tomorrow! He's big, just gonna leave it at that lol
How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms?
Feeling pretty good, my cough is finally going away!!! Woo!! Symptoms though, sleeping like crap, craving food I can't have because of GD, irritability, exhausted. I will say my sciatic nerve hasn't been too bad the last week or so!
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary?
Just feeling sluggish today. I know it's not a vacation, but I'm so looking forward to my maternity leave!! I just need some time away from work and can't because I'm saving all my PTO/sick leave for maternity leave.
Also, only 8w2d until induction!! Aahhhh!!!
GTKY: What are three things you never leave the house with?
Right now, my cell phone, blood sugar meter, and keys. In a matter of a few weeks a pacifier, diapers, and spit rags will be my top things lol.

How far along are you? How big is baby?
30+5! Apparently she shrunk down to a cantaloupe lol
How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms?
I'm good. Always tired. Pelvic pain is kind of flairing up up again, but overall I'm in really good spirits!
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary?
My shower is in a week and a half, we have a 5 hour long newborn care class this weekend, then coming up we have a CPR class, and a 4 week birthing class. So much to do, so little time! Don't get me wrong though, I'm stoked for it all!
GTKY: What are three things you never leave the house with?
Phone, wallet, chapstick
@Hollyyyyy You are really packing in the classes! Mine don’t start until November which seems so far away!
How far along are you? How big is baby?
30 weeks + 4 days. The size of a platypus!
How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms?
Nothing new just increasingly achy, sometimes barely able to move due to back pain.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary?
Work is sooo busy! And it will be right up to my time off mid-November. There is no clear training plan in place to train my replacement so I have to come up with it in this short time. I don’t know how I am going to get through it and accomplish everything I need to.
GTKY: What are three things you never leave the house with?
For a dog walk - Pup, phone, bear spray (we are in bear/cougar country)
Anything else - Phone, water bottle, wallet
@Desiree113 we're training our new girl to be prepared for when I'm gone, I feel so useless because my boss wants her doing it all so she's prepared, which leaves me with nothing to do!

How far along are you? How big is baby? 31 weeks, size of a large movie popcorn
How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms? Feeling good, for the most part. Tons of BH, and baby is now the size where she tries to kick a hole out my side and I have to shove her foot back in.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary? Rant: took my hospital tour this morning! It's really easy to get to the birth center area, and was fun to take a peek at everything. The floor seemed super calm and quiet, huge rooms, etc. I'm so exciiiited! FIL also got all the baby stuff down from the attic and MIL has the toddler right now, so I might go ahead and start setting up the newborn area in the guest bedroom. I mean I have laundry to fold and the kitchen is a mess, but #priorities
GTKY: What are three things you never leave the house with? Cell phone, AirPods, wallet (specifically mil ID!)

@Hollyyyyy eeeps! I am so excited for my classes, too! I hope you enjoy them
@Desiree113 I loved the platypus comparison.
@PensiveCrayon dang girl, look at you go! Hope you got a lot done yesterday!
How far along are you? How big is baby?
30+6- biggish. i feel hugeish.
How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms?
totally exhausted from the move yesterday. I only carried light stuff, but I carried light stuff and cleaned for 12 hours. Then our box spring didn't fit up the stairs so I slept on the mattress on the floor. Thought it would be nbd, but it's hard to get up off the floor to pee 5 times. Anyway, these are not pregnancy symptoms, they are just "life is harder because pregnant" symptoms. As far as actual symptoms, there is a baby butt lodged under my right ribs and it gives me a constant stitch. I try to push it out, but there's nowhere to go! And my pelvis feels like i've been riding a bike for 3 days.

My shower is this sunday and my mom and sister are coming up friday night! I can't wait. My mom literally told me yesterday to get out what we need to survive for 3 days and they'll take care of everything else. My mom is awesome and efficient at this kind of stuff so It will be awesome. I just have to get through a few more days of chaos!
GTKY: What are three things you never leave the house with?
Sunglasses, phone (usually), shoes!
31 weeks tomorrow! But my first was born 10 days late and my 2nd was 9 days late so I'm expecting this baby to over cook too. So I probably have more like 10 weeks to go!
How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms?
I bounce between good and bad days. My hands and arms are starting to go numb a lot more often and I have been waking up to pee more frequently.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary
I am really looking forward to sleeping on my stomach again. And beer. Definitely beer. And cider. And champagne.
GTKY: Phone, chapstick, TUMS.
IF, 5 losses, 1 son, 1 on the way.
@Hollyyyyy Good question (about the GD diet)
@Desiree113 +1 achy
@PensiveCrayon I’m happy YFIL got that stuff down from the attic!
@morgantu I’m excited that your mum is a helpful lady and ready to use her skills
@whoberry The other day I laid on top of my U-shaped pillow and read while laying mostly on my front parts - it was so comfortable!
How far along are you? How big is baby?
31+1, babe is probably as long as some veggie
How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms?
Good! I think my feet are swelling faster than they used to, but I guess that's unavoidable. My new symptom is that I'm feeling more stretching body parts. Last night my insides were achy, then today my exterior tum felt tight like a drum - fixed it with oily lotion of course.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary?
Dear Diary, I loved my grocery pick up yesterday! It's totally going to change my grocery shopping. My shopper was super nice, and I was happy that she did my shopping while I was at the OB. The things that didn't get filled were NBD (like an extra carton of milk, and laundry booster stuff). I can't use coupons, but I don't use them often enough to actually save money, so that's cool. Also, Walmart has a tasty lentil-flour pasta that DH likes, so I'm extra excited to easily buy more lentil pasta in the house
GTKY: What are three things you never leave the house with?
Wallet/purse (purse is very small, just a mobile pocket), keys, phone
