1) I think a cold cider in a bottle.. maybe angry orchards -Orchards Edge Pear. mm 2) A ham and turkey with swiss cheese and let,tomato,onion and mayo sub. probably want this more than the cider.

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: August 2nd/ 35 weeks + 3 days
Boy/Girl/finding out later? Boy!
Baby is the size of a(n): Pineapple
Upcoming Appointments: Wednesday ultrasound and check up.
How are you feeling?: The peeing is real! It's gone from not so bad, to having to go every 2 hours at night. I'll pee in the daytime and feel like I have to pee again in 20 minutes. It's so annoying.
Rants/Raves: I got the nursery 99% done this weekend! My sister is giving me her old glider rocker, but she has to bring it from out of state. Once I have the glider in, I'll be done.
Questions: Nothing for now!
GTKY: If you drink what is your postpartum first alcoholic drink going to be?? If you don't or find food more interesting: what is your first non-pregnancy restricted item you plan to eat? Definitely a nice cold beer. Stella Artois or Blue Moon.
Upcoming Appointments: ultrasound tomorrow. My checkup last week they said based on my fundal measurement she’s measuring small so they want to check her
How are you feeling?: Glad to see my girl tomorrow but hoping everything is OK. It’s been a bad sciatica pain day.
Rants/Raves: My shower was yesterday. We got so many beautiful presents and DH put everything together today. The nursery is almost complete and I love seeing all her things falling into place!
Questions:
GTKY: If you drink what is your postpartum first alcoholic drink going to be?? If you don't or find food more interesting: what is your first non-pregnancy restricted item you plan to eat? I really want wine. I know a lot of us had still enjoyed wine while pregnant but my dr said from the beginning no alcohol at all so I’ve stuck with that and can’t wait to enjoy my wine again.
Rants/Raves: Wish I was off from work at 36 weeks, have to wait until 38 weeks.
Questions: none
GTKY: If you drink what is your postpartum first alcoholic drink going to be?? If you don't or find food more interesting: what is your first non-pregnancy restricted item you plan to eat?
First drink will be a Mai Tai! It will probably be a while before I get to enjoy a drink since I’m planning on BF.
I can’t wait for sushi, cold sandwich, eggs sunny side up, medium rare meat! Lol
Upcoming Appointments: 7/3; to include ultrasound since fundal height was small two weeks ago
How are you feeling?: hot, but good - also wish my feet were a bit less swollen so I’d have more footwear options for work. @Newmamakt - couldn’t agree with you more, though I keep telling myself if the docs thought something was really wrong - they wouldn’t have waited this long to do an ultrasound.
Rants/Raves: Nursery isn’t done, but I’m being rather chill about it, a/c is on the fritz - which I’m not very chill about. Took a really good labor class and DH was on his best behavior (I’m married to a 34 y/o man-child) - hardly made any jokes. The instructor has been a l & d nurse for 25 years - her biggest advice, mind over matter, you can do it (which I’m starting to get on board with).
Questions:
GTKY: If you drink what is your postpartum first alcoholic drink going to be?? If you don't or find food more interesting: what is your first non-pregnancy restricted item you plan to eat?
Glass of good Rose and sushi! I’ve had sushi a few times throughout the pregnancy - but it would be so great to eat it guilt free!
Upcoming Appointments: ultrasound and check up on Monday
How are you feeling?: Tiiiiired and more BH
Rants/Raves: I feel like we’re pretty much set with “stuff” for the baby, just waiting for a few things to come in the mail.
Questions: nah
GTKY: If you drink what is your postpartum first alcoholic drink going to be?? If you don't or find food more interesting: what is your first non-pregnancy restricted item you plan to eat? I plan to have a glass of sparkling wine in the hospital after delivery, we can all toast to our new girl! I’ve been having salmon sushi some during pregnancy but like @becks68 it’ll be nice to have it guilt free. I’ve been totally turned off by red meat during pregnancy so I’m hoping my aversion to that goes away...
Upcoming Appointments: Regular OB appointment on Thursday
How are you feeling?: Got diagnosed with PUPPP and I also have a bad flu..it's been a terrible couple of days..I finally got some creams for the itching today and hope it will quiet down soon enough
Rants/Raves: Baby shower happened over the weekend, it was a lovely day and we got tons of gifts
Questions:
GTKY: If you drink what is your postpartum first alcoholic drink going to be?? Wine!!... I can't wait for my first glass of chilled sweet white wine!
@nimo-ad so sorry you have Pupps and the flu! that is a terrible combination at any point but especially late term with twins! Congrats to having made it past the average delivery for twins!! Do you have an induction date? I'm doing well, just the usual late term pregnancy stuff.

@wabash15 thanks Mama ❤️❤️ We've scheduled induction for July 23, twin A turned head down this last week so that's a plus... I'm torn between wanting them out this minute and having them bake a little longer lol! I hope you're having better luck on your end with this stage 😀
