How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
Pretty good overall. Still some random sciatica issues. I'm definitely at the point where I can tell if I've overdone it or haven't drank enough water. Otherwise, feeling pretty good.


Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)?
Nah.


Bonus GTKY: What's on your Christmas list this year? If you don't do Christmas, what's on your current wish list?
I asked for a new pair of tennis shoes and Ninja to make smoothies. Other than that, I told H just to get me some clothing gift cards so I can do lots of shopping once I'm out of maternity wear.

EDD: 02-28

Weeks/Baby's Size: 28 WEEKS TOMORROW!!! Hello third tri :0

Appointment plans/results: Apart from my butt shots, I am in every 2 week appointment territory now. I suppose at my next one, we'll probably make sure I'm still not dilating.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Forever dealing with pelvic pain. Honestly it is just a way of life at this point. Other than the pain (and feeling gigantic even though I know its going to get way worse lol), I really am doing great! This baby was kicking the shit out of me yesterday and I love that Keep on keeping on little nugget.

Bonus GTKY: What's on your Christmas list this year? If you don't do Christmas, what's on your current wish list? I would like money for Christmas. My maternity leave is going to hurt us financially since I am the breadwinner in the family. It is going to be a minimalist holiday this year

EDD: 3/7

Weeks/Baby's Size: Tomorrow is 27w/big bottle of Sriracha

Appointment plans/results: Next MW appt is in 2 weeks, and I'm very glad to be done (FX) with random blood draws/labs/ultrasounds - just regular appts from here on out!

How ya feeling: Feeling pretty good. I really want toast with lots of butter.

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? I'm making crayons in the shape of letters to spell out my goddaughter's name for her xmas gift. I got the idea from Etsy and then I'm using the instructions in this blogpost: www.skiptomylou.org/making-crayons-using-molds-craft-camp/

I'm tempted to do it for some other friends' toddlers, but some of them have super long names which is deterring me for now.

Bonus GTKY: What's on your Christmas list this year? If you don't do Christmas, what's on your current wish list? I asked for really boring things - one of those maternity jacket extenders, slippers, stuff like that.

EDD: 03/10 by LMP.

Weeks/Baby's Size: 26w3d /butternut squash

Appointment plans/results: last appointment with the OB I dont really like on Thursday. I havent told their office that I am switching yet. I figure I will say something when they try to book my next appointment. I feel awkward about it for some reason. Like Im breaking up with them. But, Ill probably just say Ive decided to deliver elsewhere and leave it at that.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
Such heartburn. Much pelvic pain. Ouch.

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)?
No pics. We bought a laundry hamper, curtains and a cute lamp for the nursery at HomeSense over the weekend. I cant wait to be able to put it all together. I have LOTS of crafts planned but who knows what I will actually accomplish. If I can score a great deal on a serger I will have about 500 more projects planned. I really want to make my own diapers but not without a serger.

Bonus GTKY: What's on your Christmas list this year? If you don't do Christmas, what's on your current wish list?
Id love anything self-care. Lotion, perfume, makeup, cleansers... All of it. We arent doing much for christmas this year because money is still really tight, but my H always tries to get me something Ive been dying to have. He's usually a really good gift giver. We both agreed to wait for Boxing Day sales if it is a bigger ticket item (*cough*serger*coughcough*)

SI can't take credit - another M17 mama posted this when we were talking coats: makemybellyfit.com/

It involves a pretty intense quiz about your zipper to see what adapter you need. I think my mom is going to get it for me for xmas.

EDD: 3/21
Weeks/Baby's size: 25 weeks tomorrow / corn
Appt plans/results: next appt is 12/21. Shots until then.
How ya feeling: heartburn, sore boobs, shortness of breath. Feeling alright lately, just some nausea. I ordered some more clothes for her today even though I said I wouldn't until after Christmas. I had some good coupons and got her a dress, socks, 2 shirts, and 2 pairs of pants while I was ordering me a maternity jacket. I paid $36 for all so I couldn't pass it up.
Any pics: no pics.
Bonus GTKY: diamond earrings. I know some have been purchased and I've been able to not peak in the safe! I think with Christmas money from parents I'm going to buy some Hunter boots.

[erinshelley21]

Here, I'll add a pic of our nursery. Zero progress and I'm surprisingly not bothered lol. Half of the crap is Christmas decor/presents so that will work itself out.

[amandamh2]

EDD: April 3

How ya feeling: pretty good, just sore back and hips especially if I've done a lot of walking that day. Getting harder to lift DS out of his crib and stuff particularly if he doesn't want to come with me.

erinshelley21, I'm so obsessed with my Hunter boots! I have an embarrassingly large collection and have started eyeing the little kid ones. It's a problem

Dd has wide feet so none of the cute shoe brands really fit her. I'm kind of glad bc I'd be going shoe crazy.

Yikes!

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)

No name yet. Feeling fat. Already gained 22 lbs and only 30 total with DD. Did buy some clearance summer clothes for new baby at Kohls!

Starting to freak out I'm only 3 months away from having another kid.

EDD: 3/23


Weeks/Baby's Size: 24w4d, ear of corn I think


Appointment plans/results: Apt on the 14th and again on 1/4 to start every two week appointments


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
Honestly, kind of shizzy. I am extremely thankful that baby boy is doing well and I get to experience this but pregnancy has been really uncomfortable. I have (what I think is) a dislocated rib and symphysis pubis disorder. My rib really bothers me by the afternoon every day, and there isn't anything to do about it. Also, baby boy is so comfy in my pelvis that when I try to pee, it is super slow and takes forever, I feel like a 60 year old man. (sorry for being a downer).


Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)?
I was so much better taking pictures of my wife and her bump, I should get on that.


Bonus GTKY: What's on your Christmas list this year? If you don't do Christmas, what's on your current wish list?
I really want a fitbit charge 2. I miss running and honestly I just think it would be fun and help motivate me after baby is here. Also, a computer charger and a new pen for my surface for school.

EDD: 3/12

Weeks/Baby's Size: 26 weeks

Appointment plans/results: GT and regular appointment next Monday

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
Feeling pretty good for the most part. This kid really likes to move during meetings at work and I always feel so weird randomly twitching because the kid just kicked/punched me. We have the decals for the nursery in the Amazon cart, so hopefully they should be here in a couple of weeks. We're going with a farm animal theme.

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Nope

Bonus GTKY: What's on your Christmas list this year? If you don't do Christmas, what's on your current wish list?
We are getting ourselves 6 hours of deep cleaning by a local cleaning company. I am so excited! I never realized how far I would be behind on cleaning between working and having a toddler. Knowing that a LO is on the way I wanted any kind of head start I can on having a clean house.

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? nope - poor 2nd kid

Bonus GTKY: What's on your Christmas list this year? If you don't do Christmas, what's on your current wish list? Slippers, Mug to use at work, and the best one I think... a special day just the 3 of us before T is born.
