[LadyNymeria]

How many weeks? 32w5d

EDD? 9/7

Next appointment: Bi-weekly check-up tomorrow morning

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Pretty good. Even with being tired, the back back pain, and my feet/ankles puffing up a lot.

Rants/raves: The swelling in my feet isn't so fun, and I plan to bring it up at my appointment tomorrow, but since it starting lines up with when it started to be 90* every day I don't think it's anything to worry about. I also seem to be rapidly gaining weight the past couple months and plan to mention that as well, although I also don't think it's anything worrisome. I just don't like it.

On a positive note, I'm loving that I have all that stuff from my shower to go through now! In one day I feel so much more prepared for baby and it's a nice feeling!

QOTW: My county fair started this past weekend and it has me thinking about ALL the fair food. So what is your favorite/must have fair food? If you're not big on the food, what's your favorite thing to do/see at the fair? Fried dough is usually my go to fair food. I LOVE fried dough but don't have it very often.

EDD? 9/24

Next appointment: 8/4

Symptoms/how are you feeling? I've been feeling pretty awful to be honest....but I think it's just all of the physical work of moving and unpacking that is getting to me.

Rants/raves: Nope...note to self...don't move in the 3rd trimester again! Last time I moved in the 1st trimester which was equally as miserable lol.

QOTW: My county fair started this past weekend and it has me thinking about ALL the fair food. So what is your favorite/must have fair food? If you're not big on the food, what's your favorite thing to do/see at the fair? MMMMM...we don't have a fair around here but I do love funnel cakes.

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Feeling ok. Baby B is still hanging out in my ribs/lungs so breathing gets difficult. Oh and restless leg syndrome when I've been in the car too long and most evenings.

Rants/raves: DH's soon to be BIL's mom made us the most beautiful hand knitted blankets. She sent one for each of the twins and one for Dd1. Such a nice surprise in the mail today. It made me cry.

QOTW: My county fair started this past weekend and it has me thinking about ALL the fair food. So what is your favorite/must have fair food? If you're not big on the food, what's your favorite thing to do/see at the fair? I love everything fried! Funnel cake, fried veggies, fried cheese, etc.

EDD? 9/22

Next appointment: 7/28, regular bi-weekly

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Overall pretty good. The usual heartburn/indigestion and mild sciatica pain if I lay down for too long but that's it.

Rants/raves: can't believe I'm almost down to single digit weeks left and so many of you are already there! Crazy.

QOTW: My county fair started this past weekend and it has me thinking about ALL the fair food. So what is your favorite/must have fair food? If you're not big on the food, what's your favorite thing to do/see at the fair?

My summer isn't complete unless I've had at least one round of my faves:
-Roasted corn with all the stuff on it (butter, parmesan cheese, seasoning salt, hot sauce, lemon juice)
-cheese on a stick from hot dog on a stick (think corn dog but cheese instead of meat) and a lemonade.
-fresh made cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting.
-deep fried cookie dough
-funnel cake with fresh strawberries, powdered sugar, whipped cream and chocolate syrup.

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Feeling pretty crabby these days. If one thing isn't sore, another thing is. Ankles swell pretty huge by the end of the day.

How many weeks? 32w5d

EDD? 9/7

Next appointment: this Thursday

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Besides raging sciatica, joint pain, and just feeling rather worn down? I'm doing great! Lol.

Rants/raves:

I got a bunch of baby clothes washed, folded, and put away! And I have more that won't fit in the drawers it's tough when you have hand me downs from your niece and your DD lol.

*** possible trigger warning***

Found a lump on my breast yesterday. I'm trying not to worry. There's no pain associated with it, and it feels rather large and I find it strange that it seems to have appeared over night. I'm applying heat to it right now hoping maybe it's just a clogged duct or something. I plan on bringing it up to my OB on Thursday when I go in for my check up.

***** end of trigger warning *****

QOTW: My county fair started this past weekend and it has me thinking about ALL the fair food. So what is your favorite/must have fair food? If you're not big on the food, what's your favorite thing to do/see at the fair?

You have to walk around with a turkey leg at least once lol. My favorite thing is trying the different beers and I like the giant curly fries too. Really, I like that there are so many food options. We had fried twinkies last year them I went and they were ok, but I'd love to try more fried stuff lol



Eta to add something positive to my post.

Next appointment: 7/22

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Uncomfortable with horrible heart burn/acid reflux.

Rants/raves: Sleeping is becoming near impossible, but I'm trying to remind myself that it's only going to get worse.

How many weeks? 33,4

EDD? 9/1

Next appointment: tomorrow with the osteopath, next Tuesday with my midwife

Symptoms/how are you feeling? I feel ok. Roid rage lately. I drop everything... Which is evil considering bending over to pick it up is a chore. I'm just tired.

Rants/raves: baby's room is almost done. It won't be 100% until after he's born and we can put his name on the wall, but everything else is coming together.

QOTW: we have a HUGE fair in October. It's massive and attracts A LOT of people, so I don't go every year. But I'll be on maternity leave this year so I'll try and go mid week. Here's my list: fries from a specific booth, fried dough, pizza, apple crisp, blooming onion, soup in a bread bowl and a caramel apple to go. I'm pumped bc I'll be nursing this year and (hopefully) extra hungry so I can fit it all in.

How many weeks? 31w2d

EDD? 18 sept

Next appointment: 27 July (midwife check up and group clinic)

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Very very uncomfortable today! My back is really tight and uncomfortable, and I keep getting crazy shooting pains in my lower abdomen. I think baby boy is sitting in an awkward spot!

Rants/raves: DH is away for work again this week. He's been so great lately but I am starting to find it pretty tough being home alone with DD and still working etc.

QOTW: My county fair started this past weekend and it has me thinking about ALL the fair food. So what is your favorite/must have fair food? If you're not big on the food, what's your favorite thing to do/see at the fair?

I am such a junk food fan. Most fried or sugary things are right up my alley!

beckyrosen hugs and good thoughts that it's something simple like a plugged duct.

[fem]

Are fried dough and funnel cakes the same thing?

annapunkalunka I've been training DD to pick up things for me. I make a big deal about her being my 'big helper.' She'll walk around our house chanting I'm a big helper now.

You're a genius. I'm going to start training her tomorrow!!

Funnel cake and fried dough are both dough, but funnel cake is put through a funnel. They look different, but probably taste the same (I've only ever had fried dough).

*SNIP*

Ahh, thanks! I've only ever had funnel cakes. I wonder if it's a regional thing.

How many weeks? 29+5

EDD? 9/28

Next appointment: Tomorrow morning

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Just tired and tingly feet/legs when I get up from bed. Food still doesn't really agree with me in the evenings.

Rants/raves: Just frustrated with how much money we are spending on the house plus hearing I might be unpaid for 10 weeks instead of 6.

QOTW: I'm not a big fair person, maybe because I grew up in a small town so it was lame. All the food mentioned sounds great to me though!

[merryrissmas]

How many weeks? 39+3

EDD? 9/30

Next appointment: 7/21, regular OB appt.

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Overall, pretty good. Just tired and definitely starting to waddle/move a lot more slowly

Rants/raves: we're slowly making progress on the nursery, I'm excited to get everything organized and ready! I bought some diapers yesterday since target had a giftcard offer. It's starting to get real!

QOTW: what is your favorite/must have fair food? Corndogs, fries with vinegar, fresh lemonade. My county fair growing up had an amazing church lady food stand with all kinds of pies, that was amazing. I could go for pie right now!

[LadyNymeria]

Hope it's nothing beckyrosen!!

[beckyrosen]

Omg @merryissmas I'd LOVE some pie right now!

[hurricanerek]

How many weeks?
32 weeks

EDD?
9 / 12

Next appointment:
Tomorrow morning checkup

Symptoms/how are you feeling?
Stiff joints, Braxton hicks contractions, itchy belly. I'm also noticing that I eat less. It seems like I only need one big meal a day and can get by on light snacks when I do get hungry.

Rants/raves:
Despite getting tired of all the comments about how big I am, Dh has been a saving grace for my morale. He looked at me cooking dinner tonight and said my jeans made my butt look amazing. I needed that.

QOTW: My county fair started this past weekend and it has me thinking about ALL the fair food. So what is your favorite/must have fair food? If you're not big on the food, what's your favorite thing to do/see at the fair?

Our huge town fair is the week after my due date so it's very possible I'll miss it due to delivering a baby. Funnel cake is my fair food staple but I also die for the grilled cheese stand at ours. It's seriously the best grilled cheese I've ever had and now I can't get that delicious buttery bread and gooey cheese out of my head.

[singingsea]

How many weeks? 33w4d.

EDD? Sept. 2nd

Next appointment: Next Tuesday for an ultrasound.

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Like my uterus is going to fall out of my body.

Rants/raves: *trigger warning* I keep having loss dreams. Not cool brain not cool.

QOTW: My county fair started this past weekend and it has me thinking about ALL the fair food. So what is your favorite/must have fair food? If you're not big on the food, what's your favorite thing to do/see at the fair? I'm a fan of the old reliable corn dog with ketchup and mustard.

[eboyd83]

How many weeks?32 (tomorrow)

EDD?9/14

Next appointment: growth check tomorrow and ob visit thursday

Symptoms/how are you feeling? other than this sciatic pain I am doing good.

Rants/raves: This back pain is reaching unbearable levels. Dr gave me muscle relaxers and that helps me sleep but doesn't help at work. I am supposed to see a physical therapist, next week I guess. I that doesn't help either I might be taken off work early. I don't really want to do that because std doesn't pay enough. But I am in way way less pain at home.

QOTW: My county fair started this past weekend and it has me thinking about ALL the fair food. So what is your favorite/must have fair food? If you're not big on the food, what's your favorite thing to do/see at the fair? Sounds like fun, I haven't been to a fair in forever. Getting a funnel cake and sharing it is kind of tradition in my family. I don't know about you guys but I can't wait till my girls are big enough to enjoy water parks, amusement parks, and fairs. Especially water parks!

[sodapop]

How many weeks? 30w6d

EDD? Sep 21

Next appointment: on the 28 for a regular MW appointment

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Tired, once again. I'm having a lot of BH I guess I need to drink more. Last night was very painful but just on one side.

Rants/raves: I'm bored at work and would rather be resting at home. Bought a lot of cheap diapers this weekend, so I'm happy about that!

QOTW: My county fair started this past weekend and it has me thinking about ALL the fair food. So what is your favorite/must have fair food? If you're not big on the food, what's your favorite thing to do/see at the fair? Good question. We went to the NY fair last year and there was no crazy food. I guess the fried stuff in general, lol.

[LadyNymeria]

Sorry for the bad dreams singingsea.

Had my dr appt this morning. Dr says the swelling is in the completely normal range especially for the weather this past week and how far along I am. Also said the increased rate of weight gain is most likely due to water weight and as long as I'm not eating a big dessert every night it's nothing to worry about either. Yay for good appointments!
