Raves/Rants: rant - I started on blood thinning injections last week at 28 weeks & they are so effing painful! As if it wasnt bad enough having to check my blood sugar 7 times a day & inject insulin twice a day, now I have these daily too. Im like a pin cushion!
rave - we had a really lovely day at dh’s cousins wedding on saturday. It was so nice to spend time with his family who we dont see very often. His cousin who got married is an identical twin & during the speeches, the amazing bond between the 2 boys was so evident & made me a little teary in anticipation that my twins will have something like that even though theyre a boy & girl.
Questions: nothing atm
GTKY: What is your favorite holiday dish to eat or make? Lots of family go to my cousins house for chinese food on christmas eve which I love. & my mum makes cranberry & orange muffins on christmas morning which are the yummiest ever, especially when you get them still warm from the oven 🤤

Upcoming appointments: Next Tuesday
How are you feeling? baby is starting to kick up into my ribs! Otherwise, pretty good.
Raves/Rants: I have been so overwhelmed with work, that I haven't had a free second to get on here. I feel like I am go-go-go all day from work to home. DH has also had a lot of late work meetings/dinners so I have been having to do all the home stuff too. We did get to go away for a mini-babymoon last weekend which was nice.
Questions: nothing right now.

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: green
Baby is the size of a(n): pineapple
Upcoming appointments: biweekly appointments start now so Nov 5th for the midwife, chiro tonight to adjust my body back into place after driving 6 hours back and for this weekend
How are you feeling? definitely getting more tired again, at work I am so hot so I've asked them to order me a desk fan. So soar and out of alignment from the wedding we went to this weekend. Lots of standing and I'm a wear heals no matter what type of person. My feet and back were fine but my actual stomach was soar and I just felt the weight pulling everything down, I ended up holding my stomach up with my hands and sitting at the wedding later on.
Raves/Rants: Rants: my RIBS, or right side ribs, they hurt every time I eat I feel like no room is there, stretching helps though
Rave: we had such a good roadtrip weekend for the wedding, food was amazing, seeing all the people was fun and the atmosphere was really great. Also now that we are back we are getting down to business with finishing DD's room and getting purchases done for the new baby
Questions: Anyone else find their stomach feels heavy and pulling? Would a belly band or something similar work. I find whatever I have on my stomach feels always so tight and relief when i get home and into loose clothing.
GTKY: What is your favorite holiday dish to eat or make? everythingggg, we do Christmas big, usually Christmas Eve for us is fish only (no meat) and we go to a restaurant for this before midnight mass. We make these little mini fried donut's that have liquor/orange zest flavoured into them. Then the next day I like to make all sort's of Christmas cookies /dessert's. Can't wait
not really pulling but tight and heavy on the bottom. I have not used a belly band but I might try one. I also feel like I have no room when I eat! This baby likes to sit a lot higher than DD did.
EDD/Weeks + days: 28 +2
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Green

Raves/Rants: I am jazzed dd is finally sleeping in her own bed!
I also found out that apparently I don't need to pee in a cup at every appointment. Phew!
Questions:
GTKY: What is your favorite holiday dish to eat or make?
We make a lot of cookies over the holidays and pizza.
EDD/Weeks + days: 28 weeks, 2 days
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Blue
Baby is the size of a(n): Large Eggplant (although I may have said that last week as well...oops!)
Upcoming appointments: Next midwife appointment on Nov. 5th. I'm starting every 2 weeks now and have the rest of my appointments set...woot!
How are you feeling? Good. Baby is getting more and more upset bu the position I sit in while working, a.k.a. leaning forward in my chair. We had a growth ultrasound at my appointment yesterday and he's currently in breach with his little toes by his head.
Raves/Rants: DH tweaked his back over the weekend and I've had to take over parenting duties because he's in too much pain to help too much with our 3 year old. Props to all the single mamas out there! I don't know how you do it and have the utmost respect for you!!!
Questions: None today
GTKY: What is your favorite holiday dish to eat or make? Stuffing!!!! I love the stuff and could eat it everyday! I probably have an unpopular opinion, but I grew up with a super gloopy stuffing with the crunchies on the edge from where it baked, and that is my favorite kind of stuffing/dressing!
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: blue
Baby is the size of a(n): piece of paper
Upcoming appointments: 3d ultrasound Next Friday
How are you feeling?
I found out at my apt today baby is head down and measuring one week ahead
Rant: this lady keeps feeling the need to tell me that I'm like her; at 3 months everyone assumed she was about to pop. I was definitely NOT showing at 3 months and she did not see me at 3 months. She is another sub for the same school board and other than to tell me this, we have never spoke.
Rave: so happy to have reached "the final countdown". I've been playing the song on repeat. muahhhaha
GTKY: What is your favorite holiday dish to eat or make?
Deviled eggs. Yummy!
@c1kc1kpol1cn1k how you manage to wear heals baffles me! I've been wearing flats and runners only.
My schedule is now all over the place. So I post randomly, but I agree maybe a merge will make discussions livelier.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Blue
Baby is the size of a(n): still a bunny
Upcoming appointments: November 1st belly check
How are you feeling? Tired, having weird rib pain (and upper abdomen numbness) now but it isn't terrible. I'm on my feet a lot and I am ready for a day off. Still get the occasional bad heartburn but definitely more associated with what I eat.
Raves/Rants:
I'm tired. I'm working 13 hour days right now in the ICU and getting one day off every 7-8 days (the rotation is only two weeks long so it isn't permanent). But I do 12.5 night shifts after which is sad
Questions: none really, lol too tired to think of anything
GTKY: What is your favorite holiday dish to eat or make?: My husband makes an awesome stuffing, its what I look forward to the most during the holiday season!
EDD/Weeks + days: 28w + 1d, January 15th
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Pink
Baby is the size of a(n): Rollerblade (sorry I like finding the odd ones)
Upcoming appointments: Just had an OB appointment yesterday, your know lets check a heart beat. Have Glucose test on Monday (trying not to eat added sugar all weekend). From here on out I am every 2 weeks. I feel like this is early in the game for that.
How are you feeling? Fine. Sometimes my belly feels super heavy, sometimes I don't feel a ton of moment and others it is a party.
Raves/Rants: None really. Just want more sleep
Questions: Still none
GTKY: What is your favorite holiday dish to eat or make? I love all the dishes. I am excited for a few thanksgiving dishes that we always have, but I don't make. I am also hosting Thanksgiving, we make it a pot luck because it is 5+ families and 20+ people, and Christmas so that should be fun.
@alicia__e haha I don't know either but they are super comfy. I also wear winter booties now to work and around but I need to get flat boots or something ASAP since it's getting difficult and dangerous since I feel like I'm going to fall over or trip (Which I already did the other week) I wish I could just wear Birkenstock like with DD!
@vans42 I feel you on the rib pain, it's painful and on the right side only for now for me, you?
so many of us have appointments on November 5th haha
@c1kc1kpol1cn1k - on the left for me, and its weird because it's not true rib pain, just a numbness. Must be some kind of pinched/irritated nerve.
It's so interesting to me who makes comments about my body and who pretends that they don't even notice. I see patients all day and so there are a lot of opportunities for discussion. I have been thinking about this a lot because pregnancy is the one time where my personal family life is on display to everyone, so people usually then feel like they can ask intrusive questions or interject about their own experiences. And then in my line of work, there is this whole second layer related my patient's experiences with family, babies, their parents, their childhood, etc. And then myself trying to decide how much I should disclose. Maybe my psychiatrist brain is just taking over and I am thinking too much into it...
