GTKY: What accomplishment in your life are you most proud of? I'll have to come back to this. I honestly don't know right now.
EDD/Weeks + Days: Nov 4/ 27weeks
Baby is the size of a(n): cabbage
GTKY: What accomplishment in your life are you most proud of? Probably would be finishing an Ironman triathlon. The only other time I’ve felt as much raw emotion, excitement, etc was when I qualified for the Boston marathon but that has been over shadowed by the fact that I ended up just missing the cut off time that year and not getting in.
Baby is the size of a(n): Kale
GTKY: What accomplishment in your life are you most proud of? Hmmm... I suddenly feel like I'm in a job interview and they just asked where I see myself in 10 years and I'm not prepared for the question

GTKY: What accomplishment in your life are you most proud of? Being my daughter's mother is pretty high up there, as well as traveling to Europe alone.
@kopp5988 yes to the weight gain! I've gained a total of 18 lbs already at 25.3 weeks. I cant remember what I'd gained at this point last time, but as a whole I gained 40lbs with my last pregnancy. I started out considered underweight by BMI standards both then and now and my doctors never said anything about it. But for some reason its stressing me out this time! I've gained like 7 lbs since my appt last month and I'm hoping my OB wont say anything about it at my appt tomorrow. After a week of vacation eating, I cant tell what is vacation gain and what is normal pregnancy gain at this point. 🤦♀️
Baby is the size of a(n): papaya
GTKY: What accomplishment in your life are you most proud of? Even though I don’t use it, I’m proud of my Masters degree. I got pregnant my senior year in HS and ended up taking my GED so I feel it is a huge accomplishment to have been a single mom and complete my edu with a Masters degree.

Rant: this tailbone pain.
Rave: I cant remember who it was who told me to just order the Primary rainbow heart pjs, but I did. I cant wait til they come!
GTKY: What accomplishment in your life are you most proud of? Ooof this is a hard one. I would say trying to raise DS probably is. It's been one of the most trying things I've done, but I love watching him grow, change and learn. I just want to do my best to raise an amazing young man someday!
@kopp5988 I’m so sorry your dad’s cancer is back. That is very stressful. I hope that he gets the chemo soon and the medical comfort/ support he needs. Hugs!
@BNBT watching my children grow and develop their unique personalities has been one of my favorite things as a mom. Mine are all so different and sometimes when I look at them my heart literally swells with so much love. I also love seeing my kids playing together. They are each other’s best friend. I hope they stay this close when they become adults.
@dani_0921 when I ordered mine it was brand new and came with all the tubing. I just needed to buy the flanges and bottles/bags.
@dani_0921 I'm glad you asked this because I've been meaning to order new flanges, tubes, etc and this is a great reminder to add it to my list of to-dos.
@emeraldcity1214 Have fun at the fair! Even though I just scarfed down lunch, the fasting from this morning still has me hungry and now all I want is fair food
@gumby22c The tailbone pain is crazy! I'm debating getting a donut for my desk chair for the days it hurts. Not sure if it would help, but it is so uncomfortable when you can't lay down to soothe it! Hopefully yours goes away soon!

GTKY: What accomplishment in your life are you most proud of? Hmmm Passing the CPA test was probably the one I worked hardest for but I remember right when I was out of college I worked my butt off savings and lived SUPER far away from work so I could save a bunch a month. I remember hitting 10,000 in my savings account was probably my proudest moment that i felt. That being said, I bought a house the next month and got married shortly after so all that went away but seeing it in the bank for that brief moment was the best since i knew I did it all myself.
Also, I am not sure everyone knows to do this but just in case. Don't forget to let insurance know you are having a baby and will be wanting to add them to your insurance. Seems dumb because they obviously see you going through the OB process and everything but a different department handles the paperwork so check to make sure you have filled all that out. I am working on mine tonight.
@creamcheeseplease thanks fingers crossed he can get out of the hospital soon and get started. The year I qualified you had to beat the qualifier by around 3.5 minutes which is just crazy, but now they’ve cut 5 min off the qualifying time to cut down on the number who qualify but can’t get it.
@emeraldcity1214 thank you
@Dancer688 oh man I feel you the heartburn is real! And getting your savings account up like that is definitely an accomplishment to be proud of!
@kopp5988 I am so deeply sorry about your dad! I can't imagine that worry and stress over someone you love, especially right now. Sending you hugs!
@BNBT Yay - another MBA momma! It's definitely in my top favorite moments for me.
@dani_0921 good luck with the move and the upcoming nesting
@emeraldcity1214 I get the same feeling after eating! I keep telling my husband it feels like my skin is physically stretching and I have to lean back.
@gumby22c ugh the tailbone pain is terrible! I can't seem to sit comfortably on anything.
@Dancer688 yes to the savings account!
EDD/Weeks + Days: 26w+1d
Baby is the size of a(n): kale - whatever that means!
My OB recommended MH and I watch some live birth videos to start demystifying L&D...It was AN EXPERIENCE for sure. But I am feeling a bit more calm and more in control and am starting to understand what my preferences will be.
GTKY: What accomplishment in your life are you most proud of? I'm a first generation college student so that always makes me happy and I got my MBA a few years ago so I'm proud of that too.
EDD/Weeks + Days: 11/6 26+5
Baby is the size of a(n): one more day of kale...tomorrow lettuce. The foods aren't as fun as they used to be. 😂
GTKY: What accomplishment in your life are you most proud of? Maybe it's weird but getting my current job. After I finished grad school I worked as a counselor for about 9 years and it was great but it can really feel like a dead end. Then I worked as a clinical reviewer for a couple years and when my company restructured I had an opportunity to apply for management. I'm proud of how prepared I was and how I was able to prove myself and have them choose me over people that were managers and supervisors at the time and it feels good two years later to know that they feel good about choosing me and have continued to support me and give me opportunities.
Baby is the size of a(n): I have no idea...
GTKY: What accomplishment in your life are you most proud of? Being a mom of 4 amazing kids
Baby is the size of a(n): zucchini!
GTKY: What accomplishment in your life are you most proud of? I have a hard time being proud of myself or accepting anything as an accomplishment (Blame: Catholicism, immigrant parents) but there are days when I stop to reflect how different my life could be and that makes me proud of everything all at once.
Short term pride moment: my company got bought a few years ago and I accidentally didn’t contribute to my 401k for 10 months when they rolled over to a new fund company(no, I didn’t notice the extra money in my paychecks) and finally think I caught up so yes, I know I’m dumb...but yay me!
Baby is the size of a(n): Kale
GTKY: What accomplishment in your life are you most proud of? Going to College, with a newborn on top of that. When I was pregnant with my daughter in Oct. 2015, I had already made plans for college. Even with the shocking news, I still went through it. My daughter was born July 2016 and went to College a few months later. I'm the first in my family (maternal side) to have a college diploma and I feel super accomplished.
EDD/Weeks + Days: 23+6
Baby is the size of a(n): bunch of grapes
GTKY: What accomplishment in your life are you most proud of? I’m proud of my masters of education degree, but more so the time I spent teaching after getting it. However, I’m most proud of figuring out a way to stay home with my son and still “work.” I started my own photography business when he was one and I do that part time, and my husband and I just took over the company he was working for on the side, so that’s been interesting, but super rewarding and I feel like I can actually use my business degree now.
