Baby is the size of a(n): bunch of bananas, camping lantern
Upcoming appointments: Monday for GD test
How are you feeling? Good!
Raves/Rants: So ready for thanksgiving and some days off. Not ready for GD test. 😆
Questions: nope
GTKY: What are you shopping for this Black Friday/Cyber Monday, if anything? Maybe a laptop for work, but I don’t usually take that much advantage. I should do more.
Me:33 DH: 34 Married: May 2011 TTC #1: May 2015 DS: 10/20/2016 TTC #2: June 2019 #2 EDD: 2/20/2020
Upcoming appointments: 12/24 for OB, 12/26 for ultrasound and MFM consult
How are you feeling? Feeling like I have a long way to go to be feeling this uncomfortable. Over the weekend I had lots of low back pain and BH contractions but they went away when I had a heating pad on my low back and rested on the couch. I think just trying to keep up with a 2 year old and a growing belly is taking it's toll on me. I'm also feeling out of breath easier than I think I did last time around.
Raves/Rants: Rants: H is stressing about getting some home projects done and his stress results in him becoming a moody depressed person that sucks the life out of the house. So yay.... Raves: Passed my glucose test! Yay! And baby looked great at my ultrasound last Friday.
Questions: Any STMs having the older sibling give baby a gift when they first meet? Is baby going to "give" a gift to the older sibling?
GTKY: What are you shopping for this Black Friday/Cyber Monday, if anything? I'll look to see if any of the stuff I already plan to buy for Christmas is on sale. Otherwise, I don't really go crazy with that stuff.
Upcoming appointments: 12/5-I’m now on the every two week schedule which just makes it seem so much more real!
How are you feeling? Big 😂 I’m getting to the “it’s hard to breathe” stage. It’s hard to roll over in bed.
Raves/Rants: it’s our year to be with my husband’s family for Thanksgiving. Fingers crossed I make it through.
Questions: none
GTKY: What are you shopping for this Black Friday/Cyber Monday, if anything? We used my daughter’s pack n play until she was like 4 for trips and it’s pretty banged up. I’m going to see if I can find a new one on sale.
Upcoming appointments: nothing on the radar, chiro next week? After the dec visit we go every other week and then switch to weekly fairly quickly.
How are you feeling? feeling ok! had a little anxiety this week that I cured with aromatherapy. Specifically, I have a rose water mask that just really calmed me and then I used lavender.
Raves/Rants: My mom is here for Thanksgiving but still sleeping while I "work" from home. Brother will get here at about 1:30. Excited to make desserts today! DD has been incredibly cute. I was explaining to her (again) how her Fifi is my Mommy and Uncle Sky is my brother and she says, "Like Uncle Scar??" I am excited to make Sky play chutes and ladders with her this weekend.
Questions: ?
GTKY: What are you shopping for this Black Friday/Cyber Monday, if anything? You couldn't take me out shopping on Friday - I would literally rather stab myself in the eye. I am already done shopping for Bella but on the hunt for a dollhouse so might peek at that Cyber Monday. I also need to get DH a dress coat but he doesn't want me to spend too much money on it. I feel like a coat is something you have to spend money on or it just doesn't last and looks cheap so I will probably just put it on the credit card he doesn't have access to and he will never know. Sometimes being in charge of finances can be helpful haha.

Baby is the size of a(n): as tall as a loaf of wonderbread.
Upcoming appointments: next Thursday for glucose test and general check in with my OB.
How are you feeling? Sore! Lots of pelvic aches and pains. But other than that okay.
Raves/Rants: Feeling majorly crunched for time these days. Juggling tons of work (working weekends just so I don't fall desperately behind) and a demanding Master's course. BUT, it ends in mid December so I'm almost there!! At a solid 96% grade (A) so feeling really good about that.
Questions:
GTKY: What are you shopping for this Black Friday/Cyber Monday, if anything? No plans to buy anything, but I'll probably hop on Amazon to see what they have for deals. In terms of getting out and shopping --worked retail at Mall of America for like 8 years and absolutely HATED Black Friday. I am totally the type to just hunker down at home. Crowds are a big NOPE for me.
Baby is the size of a(n): MacBook Air keyboard...however big that is?
Upcoming appointments: regular check up next Friday. I’m on the every 2 week schedule now and agree that Feb is starting to feel really close!
How are you feeling? Large and not really in charge lol. Back is achy most of the day and rolling over is such a chore
Raves/Rants: Rave: aside from aches and pains, still feeling good otherwise. Rant: In addition to Feb feeling so close, it also feels like time has stopped the last few weeks and I’m wondering how much bigger I will be getting over 2.5 ish months 😳
Questions:
GTKY: What are you shopping for this Black Friday/Cyber Monday, if anything?
Not sure - I’ll probably just scroll different websites for deals but I’ll be at home - not looking to get out in the madness! I do miss shopping for clothes during these major sales.
How are you feeling? Morning sickness seems to be coming back. So that's fun. Back pain if I stand too long which happens often as it's really hard to sit when you teach first grade. But overall, I really can't complain. It's been a pretty easy pregnancy so far.
Raves/Rants: Today is my first day of Thanksgiving break! Looking forward to rest, relaxation (after the Turkey day crazy of course) and getting my Christmas decor out.
GTKY: What are you shopping for this Black Friday/Cyber Monday, if anything? It is supposed to snow non-stop for the next three days so it will depend on the weather. I'll be scoping out Amazon for sure.
