Re: Weekly Check-In: 2/6/23
EDD / Weeks + Days: 27W3D
Baby is the size of a: head of lettuce
Team blue/pink/green: blue
Upcoming Appointments: glucose test on Thursday
How are you feeling?: pretty good. Standing for a long period of time is killer on my back though.
Rants/Raves: I decided to participate in a giant local consignment sale to help get rid of some of DD's old clothes to make room for the baby's. I've tagged about 125 items so far (some of which are bundles of sleepers, onesies, etc), and I think I have to stop because I'm running out of hangers and safety pins! I still have four boxes of clothes that I haven't even opened. Hopefully some of it will sell so I'm not hauling 125 items back home...
Questions: none
GTKY: Valentine's Day conversation hearts: love em or hate em? Hate em unless I can find the sour kind, otherwise they taste like chalk to me.
EDD / Weeks + Days: May 13/ 26w2d
Baby is the size of a: Kale
Team blue/pink/green: Blue
Upcoming Appointments:2/7 GT & 2/8 US
How are you feeling?: Good just trying to find the balance of eating the right amount so I’m not sick.
Rants/Raves: I’m ready for Vday! My youngest DD is having a party and I’m volunteering. Kindergartners just crack me up and it brings me so much joy. My 2nd grader DD class never wants volunteers so I’m saddened I haven’t been able to volunteer in her classes over the years (covid times 🥺).
Questions: Baby movements. I get a lot of “rapid fire” kinda like shaking movements in and out over a course of 5 minutes. I don’t remember baby movements feeling like this. I do get some movements where it’s just 1 quick motion like turning or moving a limb. Does anyone get a lot of the rapid fire movement? I’m getting an ultrasound tomorrow so I will ask but I’d love to see if I’m not alone.
GTKY: Valentine's Day conversation hearts: love em or hate em? I don’t buy them but we always end up with them. Only like the white peppermint ones. All others are gross.
EDD / Weeks + Days: 27w+3
Baby is the size of a: lettuce
Team blue/pink/green: blue
Upcoming Appointments: glucose next week
How are you feeling?: Definitely starting to feel fat and sassy lol. I saw myself sideways in the mirror for the first time in a while and it suddenly made sense why I was starting to feel large!
Rants/Raves: Rave: I just got an absolute ton of hand me down maternity clothes from my sister in law’s sister in law. I don’t think I will have to buy a single thing, which is amazing. I’ve been living in leggings and big tshirts, so having jeans and cuter tops again is so nice!
Questions: none
GTKY: Valentine's Day conversation hearts: love em or hate em? Pretty indifferent. I wouldn’t seek them out but if they’re in front of me, I’d eat a few!
@jeep4x4mom most of my movements until recently (besides rolls) have been rapid-fire. I would love to know what the heck he’s doing in there! Now I get some pretty strong jabs but still often have rapid flutters.
EDD / Weeks + Days: May 6, 27+2
Baby is the size of a: head of lettuce
Team blue/pink/green: pink
Upcoming Appointments: growth scan next Friday
How are you feeling?: like crap over the weekend - my Covid booster kicked my butt. Better now, but a little stuffy still.
Rants/Raves: I can’t BELIEVE how fast this pregnancy has gone! It hit me today when I picked up my new iron supplement and there were 100 in the bottle- I’m not going to need to refill before delivery 😳
Questions: nothing really
GTKY: Valentine's Day conversation hearts: love em or hate em? Hate em! They’re so chalky.
EDD / Weeks + Days: 25w3d
Baby is the size of a: boop
Team blue/pink/green: pink
Upcoming Appointments: Taking my glucose test right now.
How are you feeling?: Good usually except right this minute. Just have to sweat through the next thirty minutes and then I can go eat something solid. Last pregnancy I felt kinda bad during the test too. The other day I got really thirsty and drank two full sugar Gatorades on an empty stomach and I felt similarly icky, and I wonder if I accidentally gave myself a GTT by doing that. 😂
Rants/Raves: Put together my three year old’s big girl bed last night, which was super exciting and she was really cute about it. I thought we’d get away without having to assemble a crib and just move it to the next room and convert the one side from the toddler setting back to baby, but then we realized to get it in the bedroom in the first place, the door had to be taken off the hinges and it was easier to disassemble than take two doors on and off their hinges. 😅 So I disassembled a crib, partially reassembled it, AND also assembled a twin bed from ikea last night. (whew.) Today I’ll probably try to finish the crib before I lose the instructions/screws.
Questions: none
GTKY: Valentine's Day conversation hearts: love em or hate em? Hm I haven’t tried them in a while. I guess not love them but if they’re around I’ll probably eat them anyway. 😂
EDD / Weeks + Days: 6/2 23+5
Baby is the size of a:
Team blue/pink/green: Pink!
Upcoming Appointments: MFM 2/16 then regular OB 3/1
How are you feeling?: good! I ended up going to L&D for monitoring at my OB's insistence on Monday night because I'd been really crampy and uncomfortable all weekend. Cervical check, monitoring and another ultrasound and all was good so who knows wtf that was about.
Rants/Raves:
Questions:
GTKY: Valentine's Day conversation hearts: love em or hate em? LOVE them. I know this is an UO and I do not care. I think they're like tums but acceptable to eat in bulk. I'll take all your conversation hearts. That being said, I do have a strange affinity for anything seasonal, just for the sake of being seasonal. Candy corn? Sign me up. Cadbury eggs? Hell yeah. I just like stuff holiday-related, even if it's not explicitly delicious
EDD / Weeks + Days: 5/16 26w1d
Baby is the size of a: kale
Team blue/pink/green: blue
Upcoming Appointments: blood work before my appointment at the end of the month
How are you feeling?: Tired. I am sleeping better and not getting up as much, but am waking up exhausted.
Rants/Raves: DH Grandpa passed away Monday. He was able to go and see him last week which is great. It's been a busy week trying to get everything for work in order so we can be out of town Thursday and Friday.
Questions:
GTKY: Valentine's Day conversation hearts: love em or hate em? They're so cute, but gross. @hestiaiswearie I didn't know sours were a thing, I will have to look for those!
@ashleyp625 so I hate holiday reeses lol. I think the ratio is completely off with the different shapes, drives me nuts.
Also found the kick motions I feel are normal! No seizures, we have family history and my brother was only a few months old when he had his first grand mal seizure.
@gingermama46 so sorry for your loss. It’s always hard losing a grandparent, no matter
how long you got to have them around. So glad your husband got to see him before he passed.
@ashleyp625 That ice cream sounds amazing. We have a new ice cream shop in town that is very extra with the toppings (including 8 different sprinkles options lol) but they didn’t have any “out there” flavors. I was very satisfied with my PB chocolate ice cream though!
I love Cadbury eggs, and those chocolate oranges they have at Easter. Oh my
gosh I could eat an entire thing in one sitting! Holiday PB shapes are hit or miss for me. I like the trees, but the pumpkins are not an ideal ratio.
EDD / Weeks + Days: May 20, 25w4d
Baby is the size of a: cauliflower
Team blue/pink/green: blue
Upcoming Appointments: not until 3/1
How are you feeling?: I've been having more good days, which is encouraging, but today isn't one of them. Ah, well.
Rants/Raves: Glad to be more functional most days now. I have got to get motivated to finish up my SIL's baby gift though. It's hard with her EDD just a few days before mine!
Questions: Today my stomach was so tight it almost hurt. It feels too early for that? Anyone else experienced that yet?
GTKY: Valentine's Day conversation hearts: love em or hate em? I'm pretty indifferent about them. I don't seek them out, but I'd probably eat a couple if you put them in front of me. I agree with @jeep4x4mom that white are the best!
That's a bold UO @gingermama46
EDD / Weeks + Days: 28+2
Baby is the size of a: eggplant
Team blue/pink/green: pink
Upcoming Appointments: MFM check in was yesterday, regular midwives appt is on Vday
How are you feeling?: pretty good, feeling baby’s weight increasing in my abs being exhausted by the end of the day lately
Rants/Raves: I’m pretty excited about having passed my 1hr glucose tolerance test last week, I was borderline for GD through my last full pregnancy so I was pretty nervous about the test this time.
Questions: NATM
GTKY: Valentine's Day conversation hearts: love em or hate em? I think they’re adorable to look at and decorate with but I really am not a big fan of the chalkiness. I’m eating enough tums lately that I’m not sure I could even enjoy them 😅
