    Baby is the size of a (an): 🥦 

    Team blue/pink/green: 💚

    Upcoming Appointments: another growth scan this week

    How are you feeling?: tired. Just, tired.

    Rants/Raves: thankful my sons HFMD was mild- but all his blisters are in his feet so instead of playing he’s in my lap 24/7 and I’m *touched out*

    Questions: stretch marks, I have a lot from my first but all my *new* ones are underneath my belly this time! Anyone else also noticing stretch marks already? 
    With my first I got almost all of them the week before birth. I use belly oil daily, but it seems inevitable for me. I’ve just learned to accept them lol. 

    GTKY: What are you packing in your hospital bag? 
    3 nursing bras, maternity biker shorts, a big T shirt to go home in. A robe. Tooth brush, paste, DO, and maybe a small makeup pouch. Shampoo, conditioner and my own towel! Phone charger. Hair brush. 
    For baby I have a NB and a 0-3m sleeper, swaddle, and gender/name hospital birth announcement sign. 
    My husband will figure it out, I ain’t packing for him lol.

    Baby is the size of a (an): celery

    Team blue/pink/green: pink 🎀

    Upcoming Appointments: tomorrow morning

    How are you feeling?: tired and extremely emotional .. i’m crying for everything these days.

    Rants/Raves: rants - i’m not an emotional person, but these hormones have really gotten to me & since i’m not usually like this i feel like i annoy myself 😕. also, i’ve been contracting like crazy! sometimes for 2-3 hours and the contractions are 5-8 mins apart but then they completely stop and come back hours later. they’re not crazy painful and they’re not always consistent so i’m not too worried about it but i still moved up my appt from friday to tomorrow just to be seen earlier.
    raves - all my sisters are visiting in about 2 weeks and i’m so excited! they also barely told me i’m having a baby shower, they’ve apparently been planning it for months and i had no clue. i’m grateful for my mom & sisters for planning this for baby and i.

    Questions: none

    GTKY: What are you packing in your hospital bag? for myself -  nursing bra, nipple balm, biker shorts & comfy shirt, maternity leggings for coming home, brush, toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, body wash, towel & phone charger. for baby - coming home outfit and baby swaddle.

    Baby is the size of a (an): No idea. I think the bump says a squash or something. 

    Team blue/pink/green: Pink

    Upcoming Appointments: Growth ultrasound next Thursday. OB appt next Friday

    How are you feeling?: Grumpy, hormonal, tired, sore. 

    Rants/Raves: My mom is upset I said I think this time I just want hubby and I in delivery room. She was there for my first two and I know it’s special and wonderful and all that, but when I’m in labor, trying to naturally give birth, I do not have the mental capacity to give my mom the attention and special eggshell care she needs from our relationship. She would end up telling me I have to try breathing a special way or something and instead of me thanking her for her suggestion but explaining that the way im
    breathing is working for me, I’d snap at her, and I don’t want to ruin our relationship. She’s telling me I have to take classes at the hospital on how to breathe or I’ll regret it and I’m like, LADY..THIS IS MY THIRD KID. I KNOW HOW TO F’n BREATHE!

    Questions: Anyone else have a cat on meds for urinating on things? Did it help? 

    GTKY: What are you packing in your hospital bag? Stretchy pants, underwear, a loose tank, hygiene products, phone and charger, my pillow, boppy, binkies, swaddle, outfits for her, that’s all I remember right now. At some point I’ll make an actual list.

    Baby is the size of a (an): zucchini (last appointment was about 3lbs 6oz)
    Team blue/pink/green: green
    Upcoming Appointments: Nothing until next month
    How are you feeling?: Getting some aches and pains back again along with some new ones.  Also starting to feel more emotional again.  I'd also like to go back to when I felt cold all the time, the summer is really kicking in now.
    Rants/Raves: Is the second trimester there just to convince you that this whole thing isn't too bad?  If so, can I go back to that?  It was so nice with just very mild discomfort and being mostly emotionally stable.
    Questions: Anyone else's little one able to tell the differences between types of apples or popcorn?
    GTKY: What are you packing in your hospital bag? I currently have no idea, but I am taking notes from what I see here and the random Insta posts I get suggested.

    Baby is the size of a (an): zucchini 
    Team blue/pink/green: green
    Upcoming Appointments: tomorrow 
    How are you feeling?: I feel like I'm hauling around a 25 lb weight strapped to my front that I'm not allowed to put down. I'm also feeling restless since our last travel is done until after baby is a few months old. 
    Rants/Raves: raves- My parents fly in today to help us around the house with some projects. I'm looking forward to having them here 
    Questions: none
    GTKY: What are you packing in your hospital bag? Toiletries, maternity bike shorts, maternity leggings, nursing tanks, Bluetooth speaker, chargers, newborn and 0-3 outfit, swaddle, my preferred lansinoh peri bottle, disposable always boutique underwear. 

    @sph97 My stretch marks this time are also under my bump. Last time I got last minute ones on my boobs too so I think I've got that to look forward to still. 

    @lexilougolden I was having cramps in my legs. Doubling up on my low dose iron and hydrating more seems to have improved them again.
