Re: Weekly Check-In: 3/20/23
EDD / Weeks + Days: May 5 / 33W3D
Baby is the size of a: large pineapple, apparently
Team blue/pink/green: blue
Upcoming Appointments: biweekly check-up on Friday
How are you feeling?: Better today than yesterday, because I was so sore from hanging stars and planets on DD's walls. I figured it was an easy project until it dawned on me that I had gone up and down a step ladder 100 times! My abs were killing me
Rants/Raves:
Rave 1: The nursery is all painted! Next is adding carpeting and new blinds, then we can add furniture!
Rave 2: I had my third trimester ultrasound today. Baby is in the 78th percentile of growth, with an estimated weight of 5lb8oz. Crazy to think that if he was born today, he would not be considered low birth weight. DD came with us and I could tell she thought it was interesting at first, she didn't really know what she was looking at and wanted to play with the toys DH packed instead. But she said that I was a good patient
Questions: nope
GTKY: Peeps, Robin's Eggs, or Cadbury Eggs? Robin's Eggs all the way! They're probably my favorite seasonal candy.
FTM/STM/TTM+: 4tm
EDD / Weeks + Days: 6/2 but looking at a 39 week induction - 29+3
Baby is the size of a:
Team blue/pink/green: pink
Upcoming Appointments: OB next Friday, then MFM mid-April for another growth scan
How are you feeling?: good! Sleep is not comfortable. And I definitely have some belly pain. Still SI issues. But all in all, not too bad!
Rants/Raves: long story, but the bunk beds my sister and I slept on when we were kids are going to be my kids' bunk beds in a few weeks! My parents handed the beds down to a family friend who is handing them (back?) down to us. I'm so excited to get it all set up and get everyone settled before baby comes
Questions: anyone else puking again? I vaguely remember puking in the third tri with my other girl, but it's like a daily occurance now. So annoying.
GTKY: Peeps, Robin's Eggs, or Cadbury Eggs? Omg all the above. They all have an appropriate place in my life this time of year. Peeps are for snacking. Robin's Eggs are for mixing with popcorn. Cadbury Eggs are my grocery store treat/when I want a more substantial candy experience. Cream only - don't come at me with Cadbury Caramel Eggs.
EDD / Weeks + Days: 5/5, 33+3
Baby is the size of a: celery
Team blue/pink/green: blue
Upcoming Appointments: regular biweekly next week sometime
How are you feeling?: tired and like I want to clean everything, but also do nothing because I’m tired!
Rants/Raves: Progress has started on the new basement office. Huzzah!
Questions: none
GTKY: Peeps, Robin's Eggs, or Cadbury Eggs? Cadbury eggs for sure. Peeps belong right in the trash as far as I’m concerned.
@hestia-is-wearie I had my growth scan last week and my bub is about the same size. I was like I’m sorry he’s how many pounds already?!
EDD / Weeks + Days: 31w 6d
Baby is the size of a: asparagus
Team blue/pink/green: blue
Upcoming Appointments: biweekly, imagine I'll have the 3rd tri ultrasound soon
How are you feeling?: I was on my feet too much yesterday and am just tired today.
Rants/Raves: Rave, the boys slept in the same room Saturday night and did well. DS2 woke up at 530 and wanted back in his crib. Hoping with more practice they'll be moved in together soon. Trying to think of a way for DS1 to still be able to read in his bed, sometimes he'll read before falling asleep. I think the nightlight was too bright for DS2 but then DS1 wants to sleep with a bedside lamp haha. Rant, I packed a mango for lunch today and forgot to get a knife to cut it, so no mango for me
Questions: NATM
GTKY: Peeps, Robin's Eggs, or Cadbury Eggs? Cadbury Eggs, I had to look up what Robin's Eggs were, a big no thanks to those and peeps
EDD / Weeks + Days: 32w2d / C-section May6th 😱
Baby is the size of a: yellow squash or pineapple 🤔
Team blue/pink/green: Blue
Upcoming Appointments: 3/28, had growth scan today
How are you feeling?: Small little things here and there but overall good.
Rants/Raves: My daughter was bit by the neighbor dog the night before my baby shower. Then bit my husband after he went to talk with them. This is the 3rd bite and they refused to have the dog properly trained or surrender it. My kids refuse to go outside and fear dogs now 😩. We did a visit with a friends dog we know will not harm anyone and still terrified, she covered her arm when the dog was 3ft away. I held back my tears as I don’t wish this for her. I’m stuck on how to help her through this. Grandma has a dog and that’s where they will be staying when I go to deliver.
Questions:
GTKY: Peeps, Robin's Eggs, or Cadbury Eggs? Cadbury mini eggs only 🤤 I do enjoy robin eggs but not my favorite, I don’t buy them. I like peeps for one reason s’mores but prefer regular marshmallows. All the flavor ones make me 🤮. We did a peep taste test before my daughters 8th birthday and they are all horrible. As a kid same thing didn’t like peeps, we would do with toothpicks in microwave and would battle till the death 😂)
@BourbonBiscuits I’m in and out of puking. They stopped my bonjesta and I think I need it. Some days I have horrible nausea. A lot of the time I can’t hold down my food. We’re nearing the end so not too much longer 🤞🏻 hope you find some relief.
@hestia-is-wearie @courtney701 little chunky babies 😍 I’m probably having a tiny little guy estimated at 4lbs 1oz currently we’re in the 38%. I’ve been trying my hardest to chunk him up.
EDD / Weeks + Days: 33+2, probably May 1
delivery
Baby is the size of a: bunch of celery
Team blue/pink/green: pink
Upcoming Appointments: weekly NST and biophysical screenings now; this week’s is on Thursday.
How are you feeling?: okay. Tired and sore, but that’s not going away.
Rants/Raves: H finally got the new crib put together! Can’t wait to see her room come together now. I put a ton of clothes and things away this weekend and it’s feeling more real.
Questions: Has anyone successfully tried anything to turn a breech baby before? This one hangs that way 24/7 and they’re not worried yet, but I am.
GTKY: Peeps, Robin's Eggs, or Cadbury Eggs? Cadbury of these choices, but I LOVE a Reese’s egg.
