EDD / Weeks + Days: Jan 3rd / 28w 3d Hello third trimester!
Baby is the size of a (an): Eggplant - Or Dorothy's Ruby slippers which is fitting because that is what my daughter is going to be for Halloween. I'm going to be the scarecrow so I can stuff straw in my shirt around my belly.
Team blue/pink/green: Blue
How are you feeling?: I had a really rough day on Thursday. Probably TMI but here we go. I'm not sure what caused it but it started when I woke up at 5am with really bad indigestion/heartburn. I got up to use the toilet and just kept having waves of nausea. It got so bad I made myself throw up. I went to work but had to keep going to the bathroom as it was now coming out the other way. I couldn't focus/concentrate on anything so after about 2 hours I went home. I tried to laydown and sleep but kept feeling nauseous. I tried to drink the smallest sip of water but couldn't keep that down. Finally after everything was out of my system I was able to get some sleep. Around 5pm I was able to keep some water down and my husband brought home some Pedialyte which I watered down and was able to drink. I went to bed right after my daughter went to bed. I had my 3hour glucose test Friday so I couldn't eat until after that. I was feeling better Friday but I was just exhausted.
GTKY: Would you survive a zombie apocalypse? Why or why not? I think I could last for a little while but I don't think I would survive in the long run. I can adapt really easily but I'm not very athletic anymore so my stamina sucks lol. Plus, I can be a people pleaser so I know that would probably get me into some problems.

How are you feeling?: Large. Sleeping is getting more and more uncomfortable, and my carpal tunnel is increasingly worse. I can definitely tell when I "overdue" it during the day.
GTKY: Would you survive a zombie apocalypse? Why or why not? if I could stay hidden I think so. especially if my husband was with me because he and grow anything and also make any animal a meal.
@kmtz89 thankfully it was only for that day. It could have been a couple different things. My daughter threw up the week before so there might have been something still going around daycare. I also think the increase in my iron supplement is making the indigestion/heartburn worse so I was already feeling crappy from that.
I know this is a personality thing and I understand that some people need to plan things out, but I feel like that just causes more stress. In my last BMB, there were so many that were devastated that it didn't happen exactly how they wrote out their birth plan. And I was just over here like, "Birth plan...doesn't it just happen?" There are so many things beyond our control and for me as long as we are both healthy afterwards I don't care what happened during it. I think it's okay to want it to happen a certain way and you can be disappointed if it doesn't happen that way but there is already so much stress why add to it.

Baby is the size of a (an): lettuce - or a Barbie!
Team blue/pink/green: boy
How are you feeling?: I definitely hit a new phase this past week where I had to start using a belly band and could tell when I pushed myself too much over the weekend. For the most part I still feel physically ok, but I can see the increased fatigue and discomfort coming my way! We have one more trip starting this weekend and I’m a little nervous about being uncomfortable on the plane. Also, my dreams recently have been BONKERS. Just one after the other of vividly weird dreams all night. A lot of them are about feeling unprepared to leave a place (like, I have to go and my suitcases aren’t packed) - that’s not very subtle, brain 😂
GTKY: Would you survive a zombie apocalypse? Why or why not? I love this question so much because my friends and I actually talk about this! If I’m alone, absolutely not, but I would stick with my husband (Army vet and Ranger school graduate), find my friends (all very crafty, know construction and can problem solve well), and head towards family (houses in small towns). There’s a plan! 😂

Baby is the size of a (an): bowling pin!
Team blue/pink/green: pink
How are you feeling?: Mentally/emotionally, I am feeling okay but starting to get a little stressed. We have a bunch of life stuff happening right now (work, school, grandparents aging, etc). We are under contract to buy a house which means we have to move & get our current house ready to sell in the next month or two. So it's exciting but nerve-wracking. Physically, I am starting to feel more pregnant and less comfortable. I feel like I have ZERO abs at this point. I have had a lot of symphysis pubis pain. Does anyone have any recommendations for managing the pain? I wear a belly band a lot which helps sometimes but it's still pretty uncomfy.
GTKY: Would you survive a zombie apocalypse? Why or why not?: I'm not sure. If surviving meant isolating with a small group of people and living off the land, I think I could make it a while! I am pretty outdoorsy and have a lot of creative problem solving skills. But if surviving meant fighting in any capacity - then I would not live long lol!
I am just devastated... dealing with the standard pregnancy issues was more than enough to keep me occupied, and now DVT has made everything 50xharder. I cannot stand or walk without the assistance of a walker and it will likely be this way for weeks because of the size of the clot. The rest of my pregnancy and birth will look very different than I had originally hoped. My fiancé and I were supposed to get married next Saturday and now that is up in the air because of my mobility issues. Thank god my baby is okay because my heart cant take any more stress. I'm just feeling incredibly down and crushed right now
I knew in my gut that this was more than round ligament pain by Friday, but at that point I thought maybe i just pulled a muscle in my groin from all of the stretching I was doing. I should have gotten it checked a day or two earlier than I did ☹️ please don't ever brush off your health like I did!
And it's so true, our bodies are already going through SO many changes throughout pregnancy.. some are welcome changes, others not so much.. that it makes it even more difficult to know when you should be concerned or when something is truly abnormal.
Take care of yourselves and your precious babies everyone ❤️❤️

How are you feeling?: Pretty good! I passed my glucose test which was a huge relief! I also had a second US yesterday where baby boy is on track for growth now (at my anatomy scan he was measuring a little small), but he's breech so they've scheduled me for a 3rd at 36 weeks. I'm thinking about asking my midwife if this is really necessary because the scans are $230 a pop after insurance.
I was feeling really depressed over the past few weeks with all of the to-dos looming over my head, but a bunch of things have gotten started (daycare research and tours) or been completed (L&D tour, baby shower planning - anyone else planning their own?) that I'm finally feeling better.
GTKY: Would you survive a zombie apocalypse? Why or why not? Depends on the zombies... if they're runners like 28 Days/Weeks Later, no. If they're walkers like The Walking Dead, yes.

How are you feeling?: overall pretty good! My sciatic flares up when i overdue it but its way better than my last pregnancies and i know better what triggers the flare ups and can mostly avoid them.
GTKY: Would you survive a zombie apocalypse? Why or why not? Haha no way!
Also, why do they need an ultrasound because of a breech baby? Can’t the midwife feel babys position? Also if baby continues to be breech, i have a friend who swears by putting a dab of peppermint essential oil on the top of her belly. She’s gotten two babies to turn when nothing else helped. The baby doesnt like the peppermint and will turn around🤷🏻♀️
