    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a pineapple

    Upcoming appointments: thurs, 10/8 for 30w U/S to check on her size since im
    measuring big by fundal height. Appointments will now be every 2 weeks until I’m at 36 weeks when they’ll move to weekly!

    How are you feeling: pretty good! I think I’ve figured out how to count kicks finally after speaking to my OB so feeling more confident there. Also since it’s been “cooling down” in FL I’ve been going on longer walks with our dog which has been really nice & getting some audiobook time in. I’m feeling really huge and looking more obviously pregnant now - someone is saying something to me basically everytime I go out anywhere. So I just feel more motivation to eat and live healthier for the remainder of this 3rd trimester.

    Rants/Raves: Raves! All of my 28 week bloodwork came back looking good, including my 2nd 3-hour GD screen - thank goodness! Can’t wait to see this girl on Thursday and if her facial features are more prominent. 

    We also went out to a nice dinner on Sat night for the first time in a long time! We sat outside, and the restaurant was really cautious and we felt safe. It was v fun and great to get dressed and be out!!

    DH also went to the Bucs NFL game yesterday and saw friends he hasn’t seen since Feb. he was in such a great mood when he came home! I don’t think we’ve realized how lightly depressed we’ve both become. It’s the little things coming back to our lives that are making life better even though it’s nowhere near normal. 

    Questions: So our nursery is basically ready, we have a ton of the major baby items although need more, but our remote/drive by shower is set for Nov 7 so waiting for that. I still having this anxious feeling like I’m not doing enough to prep for this baby & L+D! Am I the only one?? 

    GTKY: what's your most favorite and least favorite halloween candy?

    DOTS are Halloween candy #1. They just remind me of Halloween Bc that’s generally the only time I eat them and I love them so much. 2nd faves are a 3-way tie between Laffy Taffy & mini 100 Grand or Dark Milky Way bars. 

    Least fave is any lollipop/unlabeled hard candy. I just think they’re such a boring Halloween candy!

    also shocked that everyone hates candy corn! I generally don’t buy it because I just tend to eat it by the handful! I do quickly get sick if it though - so kind of understand your response of both categories  @autumn87654321

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: A camping lantern

    Upcoming appointments: 10/12 - 3 hr glucose test and regular OB appointment, then an ultrasound on 10/19

    How are you feeling: Meh, hemorrhoids have picked up which is unfortunate.  Also, the Braxton Hicks contractions have been happening a lot more frequently.

    Rants/Raves: Rave - DH took DS to his parents' house of Friday and they come home today.  Being home alone with just dogs and cats this weekend has been amazing.  I finished a knitting project, started on the baby blanket for DD and watched a whole bunch of tv that only I like.

    Questions: 

    GTKY: what's your most favorite and least favorite halloween candy? Kit kats and sixlets are my favorite (are sixlets even a thing anymore?).  My least favorite is laffy taffy - it always seems rock hard.  I actually don't mind candy corn!  My mom used to put it in trail mix when we were kids.  The pumpkins on the other hand....

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: pineapple/acorn squash/Mr. Potato Head

    Upcoming appointments: 3hr GTT tomorrow  :s

    How are you feeling: More emotional in general, plus a big uptick in anxiety about the mechanics of getting my parents here safely and making sure DD is cared for while I'm in the hospital.  I definitely overdid it taking care of DD yesterday - back pain solidarity @cassafrass15!

    Rants/Raves: 
    Rant - poor DH is sick again with the cold we both had last week, and DD had some loose stools yesterday.  Crossing all of my fingers that DD is better and doesn't get the boot from daycare today!
    Rave - finally making some progress on name ideas for DD2.  Better late than never  :#

    GTKY: what's your most favorite and least favorite halloween candy?  Mini mounds bars, twix, and sour patch kids were my top tier (my sister and I had a very complicated hierarchy for trades - anyone else?), and plain lollipops and candy corn were always at the bottom.

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Bunch of broccoli 

    Upcoming appointments: OB next Thursday - first appointment where I won't get an ultrasound  :'(

    How are you feeling: Great! Still experiencing insomnia a few nights a week, but other than that doing well!

    Rants/Raves: I turned 30 on Saturday and hit 30 weeks on Friday! My sister threw me the most magical shower yesterday, so I'm just feeling so blessed! 

    Questions: Nope!

    GTKY: what's your most favorite and least favorite halloween candy? I have the worst sweet tooth and basically love all candy! Butterfingers are a favorite and dots are probably my least favorite (but I'd still eat them lol)

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Lettuce? Not very exciting this week lol.

    Upcoming appointments: Wed w/ endocrinologist for GD, Thur w/ regular OB.

    How are you feeling: OK! Getting a handle on the GD protocols, and adjusting to all the normal things-getting-squished-around symptoms.

    Rants/Raves: Rave: Luckily my in-laws have a backyard pool that I can access in a socially distanced way, and it's SUCH a nice feeling to be weightless in water for a while!

    GTKY: what's your most favorite and least favorite halloween candy? Favorite: Reeses or Reeses Pieces! Least favorite: I'm not a big fan of anything with caramel.

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: butternut squash 

    Upcoming appointments: tomorrow 

    How are you feeling: fat and out of breath lol 

    Rants/Raves: still haven’t started on the nursery. My husband is seriously so lazy lol 

    Questions:

    GTKY: what's your most favorite and least favorite halloween candy? It depends on my mood. I love butterfinger. Tootsie rolls are probably the worst. Not really specific to Halloween but the bag will have everything in it eaten and a bunch of tootsie rolls left to die 🤣
  • @dobiemom11 I hope your anxiety relaxes too! I think it’s partly (hopefully) just all the anxiety from Covid that’s always this lingering feeling. I hate feeling this way. 
    DS born 2016
  • @jbal918. As a FTM, I am anxious about the huge transition and of course the unknowns of L&D and motherhood.  Add in the unknowns of Covid and the chaos of our country and it is just a party.  Hopefully some good sleep at some point will help a lot.  I mentioned it to my Dr last appointment and we are going to keep an eye on things.  

    Just keep doing the best you can and know that this is temporary (even though there is no endpoint currently).

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: 
    A coconut? Which seems smaller than previous weeks. Whatever it is, it’s got big strong feet that it loves to kick into my ribs.

    Upcoming appointments: 
    Birthing class Weds. Next OB in 3 weeks

    How are you feeling: 
    Not super but not awful. I’ve had a terrible headache for 3 days and am just so exhausted. I also cannot breathe most of the time because baby loves to wedge itself up high and it’s using my rib cage as a jungle gym. I seriously thought it my break a rib yesterday. Apparently it’s possible?

    Rants/Raves: 
    Rant - I’m 6-9 weeks from labor, we’re heading into flu season. Seeing our president out there making light of COVID is beyond infuriating. I can not contain the rage!

    Questions:
    Nope!


    GTKY: what's your most favorite and least favorite halloween candy?
    Love a Kit Kat and a Reese’s.
    Hate black licorice.
    I actually like candy corn too!

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: acorn squash or Gizmo from Gremlins

    Upcoming appointments: I start having my regular OB appointments every two weeks as of 10/19, and I see MFM again on 11/2. 

    How are you feeling: I’m tired all the time. I’ve also been having groin pain. 

    Rants/Raves: I can’t even start about the whole nonsense happening in the White House. It would never stop. 

    As far as raves, we finally got confirmation that we’re moving soon! The office called us yesterday and said that a new unit popped up as available sooner than the original one they had us down for. So we’re going to be moving to the new unit on November 13. I managed to find some free moving boxes on Facebook Marketplace yesterday and we picked them up so we could start packing. 

    Oh, and I had my second 3hr GTT yesterday. Got the call back today that it was normal!

    Questions: none at this time. 

    GTKY: what's your most favorite and least favorite halloween candy? I love anything caramel. As far as specific brands, one of my favorite candies is Milky Way. I also love Kit Kats. I don’t like anything with coconut in it.

    Upcoming appointments: Monday 30 weeks

    How are you feeling: Exhausted but decent. 

    Rants/Raves: not sleeping the best and having intense dreams. Virtual teaching has been kicking my ass so I’m ready for maternity leave. Sitting in a chair all day is causing so major lightheaded ness and feeling super lazy. 

    Questions:

    GTKY: what's your most favorite and least favorite halloween candy?  Favorite Kit Kat’s. Least fave tootsie rolls. 
  • @dobiemom11 Register for some clothes before your shower just in case, maybe? I had to de-register for all NB-6mo clothes because of how many hand-me-downs I have! Leaving on some cool Star Wars & Marvel stuff for 6mo+ because I’m a nerd. 

    @laurenspdx and @dreamscapes_ Same re: stupidity happening in and coming out of the WH. It’s so draining!
