Another week has gone by already? I'm feeling pressure to get all the things done!

Week/Team/Fruit: 29+5, mono-di girls, pineapples

Appointments this week: Nope

Symptoms: Rib pain, heartburn, BHs, general exhaustion

Rants/Raves/Questions: I'm trying to work on all the end-of-pregnancy things like ordering my breast pump, putting together baby gear, using registry completion coupons, packing the hospital bag, etc. It's crazy to think I'll probably have these babies next month!

GTKY: What part of the world are you from? What is your favorite thing about where you live?
I live in a very rural part of the Midwest. I love the small-town feel and quiet country life. The only thing I miss about living in the city is the convenience of being close to doctors and shopping. At least we have Amazon Prime.

Week/Team/Fruit: 24 weeks, di-di B/G, Eggplants (Or a He-Man toy or a package of oreos, which all seem like really different sizes)

Appointments this week: Thursday! I haven't seen my babies in a month. I can't wait!

Symptoms: I am finally feeling really pregnant. Tired, swollen, moving slow. I can't believe I'm not even in 3rd tri yet. I wonder if 24 weeks with a singleton feels the same way.

Rants/Raves/Questions: Now that my vacation is over, I need to get my ass in gear with the nursery and other stuff.

GTKY: What part of the world are you from? What is your favorite thing about where you live?

I live in Connecticut. I love that we have the shoreline and all 4 seasons here. And my family is all close by.

Week/Team/Fruit: 35w, 4d/mono di girls/bunch of carrots

Appointments this week: MFM Wednesday for our last BPP, OB Friday for an internal check, GBS swab and bloodwork.

Symptoms: feeling so big and ready to be done!

Rants/Raves/Questions: We're having TWO babies NEXT WEEK! All scheduled for our induction on 8/25 (37 weeks exactly). Can't believe it's almost here.

GTKY: What part of the world are you from? What is your favorite thing about where you live? I'm from Western PA (currently living elsewhere but hopefully we'll move back in a few years) and love that we have 4 seasons there, even though I could always take a little less summer than the other seasons.

Ahhhhh! You are so close, mc13!

Week/Team/Fruit: 31+1/Purple/Romaine lettuce

Appointments this week: Just had one this morning. B's fluid levels are high (possibly because giant baby), so she's going to watch that. A is right on average. We started steroid shots this morning, just in case. The OB is going to listen to the MFM on delivery.

Symptoms: Headaches, rib pain, swelling, and indigestion/heartburn.

Rants/Raves/Questions: I think I'm good this week.

GTKY: What part of the world are you from? What is your favorite thing about where you live? I grew up all over the southeast. I love that where we are is 2-4 hours from several major cities, but we're still a large enough city that we don't NEED to travel, except for special occasions.

Week/Team/Fruit: 12w3d

Appointments this week: NT scan on Friday.

Symptoms: Headache from strained muscle in my jaw, back tension from hauling kids all weekend, and/or weaning off of progesterone. Nausea from headache and earlier because I took my morning ranitidine late. Whiny because I feel yucky.

Rants/Raves/Questions: STM+ moms--are you more sore for second and subsequent pregnancies, especially early on?

GTKY: What part of the world are you from? What is your favorite thing about where you live? I live in Illinois. I don't like it. We're doing everything we can to engineer a move out of state in a couple of years. Just need to save up some money.

nomnom I don't know if it's because I'm a STM or multiples, but this pregnancy has been much harder on my body than the first.

Agreed! It might have to do with chasing a toddler and not being able to sleep the day away or sit at desk at work all day. This pregnancy has been rough and exhausting. So much so that it's making me consider not having a 4th kid. Maybe I'll feel different in a few years but right now, I'd be happy to never be pregnant again. Lol

GTKY: What part of the world are you from? What is your favorite thing about where you live? I live in the upper Midwest and my favorite part is that majority of my fsmily/extended family also lives in the Midwest so get to see them often.
