What fruit/animal/object is baby this week? A baseball mitt

Any new symptoms, changes etc? RLP is back, but my prescription for heartburn seems to be working!

Raves, rants, questions. Punk baby hasn't been moving as much the past couple of days, I think s/he is just in a different position and when I do kick counts I get to 10 well before 2 hours but this is not helping my PgAL brain. 😐

QOTW: What do you hope baby inherits from you and your partner? I hope baby gets my temperament, and DH's love of trying new things.

What fruit/animal/object is baby this week? Large zucchini

Any new symptoms, changes etc? Just the spotting yesterday. No more of that, though!

Raves, rants, questions. I know I have plenty of time, but I'm nervous about him turning head down in time. I have only ever felt his kicks low in my belly and the ultrasound showed him very head up. He seems very happy that way.

QOTW: What do you hope baby inherits from you and your partner? We both he gets my clear complexion but H's skin tone. He's very tan naturally and rarely burns. We hope he gets my sense of humor and H's constant curiosity and love for random things. I would love for him to inherit the love of running from H and his family as well as his love for tinkering with cars and around the house.

bepandnick my medical assistant mentioned the 10 kicks in 2 hours starting at either 28 or 30 weeks...I'm 3 weeks away from that and I can't imagine getting them that frequent! Does it pick up that much?

What fruit/animal/object is baby this week? rollerblades

Any new symptoms, changes etc? Swelling in my feet and ankles, occasional heartburn, congestion overnight

Raves, rants, questions. I've officially started waddling, ah!

QOTW: What do you hope baby inherits from you and your partner? I hope they get MH's positive outlook on life. I hope at least one of them gets my blue eyes. I secretly hope neither of them gets my curly hair. It's pretty, but a huge pain in the butt and I don't want to have to deal it their whole childhood.

[bepandnick]

xxjen015 baby definitely isn't kicking/moving 10 times every 2 hours. I only do kick counts if it seems like s/he hasn't been moving much that day. I'm either supposed to drink really cold water or something with sugar (sprite, oj etc). Then lie on my left side and count every movement I feel. I usually do it away from DH, DS and the dog so I can really concentrate on movement since sometimes they're not all obvious kicks.

What fruit/animal/object is baby this week? Rollerblade/eggplant

Any new symptoms, changes etc? Back pain, and holy discharge... yuck.

Raves, rants, questions. I'm anxiously awaiting the results from my 3 hour glucose test. I hope they'll have it to me before the weekend. I feel like they would have called by now if it were bad news... so here's hoping no news is good news!

QOTW: What do you hope baby inherits from you and your partner? Well we both have really blonde hair and blue eyes, so I'm guessing baby will also get those genes. As far as personality goes? I hope he gets my laid-back demeanor, and H's motivation/determination when it comes to work ethic. Also H's athleticism.

Yes!!! Soon they will be much bigger and their playground will be much smaller. Eventually you'll be able to watch them move, because when you look down you'll see your belly moving!

What fruit/animal/object is baby this week? Echidna I had to google again...

Any new symptoms, changes etc? I feel like I need to pee every time I stand up and heartburn. Just lovely...

Raves, rants, questions. Nope...

QOTW: What do you hope baby inherits from you and your partner? This is a tough question!! Maybe our laid back personalities.

How far along are you? 27w 3d

What fruit/animal/object is baby this week? I'm not sure... I feel like it's inaccurate anyway

Any new symptoms, changes etc? Just amazed how much my belly grows each week!

Raves, rants, questions. I am over having to pee all day. Thankfully I seem to sleep through it but during the day it sucks. For work I drive a lot and it's hard to find a bathroom.

QOTW: What do you hope baby inherits from you and your partner? My husbands skin that tans easily, vs my extremely pale skin that only burns. My husbands patience and sense of humor. My love for reading and education.

I hope my two boys will love each other and be best friends. I know it doesn't happen all the time but that's my hope for them!

[amyface813]

toadandbuggie I have the same hope of my kids being friends! DS is a super sweet and social little boy but he shows very little interest in his sister so far. The other day he did ask if she could come out and play with all his toys with him so I have some hope. He seems very interested in the fact that she's naked in there!

How big is baby? Butternut squash
No new symptoms or changes
Raves/Rants/Questions: I have to wait until I'm off steroids for a week before I can do the 3 hour glucose test. So that'll put me close to 29 wks. I just want it over with.
QOTW: I hope she inherits my head size, nose and sense of humor. From my H his eyes, his immune system and sense of adventure.

[Tgrrl]

Can I just say, initially I was sad to be at the end of the BMB, as I was at the head of the pack with A, BUT seeing those of you already at 28 weeks...I'm so happy to be able to live in denial for a couple more weeks 😉

[murran13]

xxjen015 yeah the kicks get pretty frequent. Even when they're sleepy, you'll still feel little nudges.

24w something....

What fruit/animal/object is baby this week?
Cantaloupe. I hate the fruit comparisons! Does it just mean as long as a cantaloupe? Certainly not as round.

Any new symptoms, changes etc?
Hmmm not really. Ongoing nausea. I'm afraid my body has become dependent on unisom, like no matter what I'll feel sick if I don't take it. Is that a thing?

Raves, rants, questions.
Switched doctors today, and really happy I did it. It was awkward to have to go into the office and ask them to send my records over to the other office, literally had a "it's not you, it's me" conversation but relieved to have done it. I really wasn't a fan of the doctor there.

QOTW: What do you hope baby inherits from you and your partner?
I have amazingly strong and healthy teeth, so I hope she inherits that. Dh has great skin, so I hope she gets that too I hope she looks like our son, cause he's just gorgeous, and gets my skinny genes (they don't last forever but it was nice to be naturally thin before kids!). That's all the physical stuff. Personality wise, a good mix of dh and I is good. We're both pretty level headed and practical. And hopefully - please oh please oh please - she sleeps better than her brother did!!!!

[toadandbuggie]

murran13 I switched at 15 weeks and it was awkward for me as well. Then I had to go into an even previous OB for records and luckily the nurses were really nice. But I felt bad about the most recent one. After having a bad experience with DS I just wanted to have a good one this time though so oh well! And funnily enough - the doctor who delivered my son was the on call doctor because my OB didn't make it in time, and now he's my doctor for this baby!

[murran13]

toadandbuggie it's definitely worth the awkwardness to be happy and comfortable with your doctor!

[JoBub]

How far along are you? 28 weeks. Hello, 3rd trimester!

What fruit/animal/object is baby this week? a rollerblade. Yikes!

Any new symptoms, changes etc? Terrible SPD pain the last couple of weeks, ever since I had to chase my 2 year old through Lowes. He's a fast little thing.

Raves, rants, questions. I'm sick of being pregnant. The weather is getting really nice and there are a lot of home improvement projects I want to tackle, and I just don't have the energy.

QOTW: What do you hope baby inherits from you and your partner?
My DS1 is a perfect blend of both of us. I really can't tell who he looks like more. But H and I have similar hair/eye/skin tones. So I kind of expect this one to look similar, but I hope he has more of my temperament. DS1 has H's temper for sure.

[juliayadda]

I will wait for this weeks ticket change but will answer qotw

I hope she gets looks from my side of the family because we are pretty cute (haha) but gets the two separate eyebrows and blond body hair from DH

I hope she gets my empathy, intelligence and humour and DHs ability to think in ridiculous patterns and focus on one task.
