It's been a few weeks - what's going on with your bodies and babies?

[suelou18]

EDD: 3/12

Weeks/Baby's Size: 28 weeks / How is it the 3rd Trimester already??

Appointment plans/results: I had my 1 hour test last week and must have passed because I received no phone call saying otherwise. Next appointment is in 2017.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Feeling good for the most part. I still puke here and there, but it's more of an annoyance than anything else. I think we might have a boy name down. We for sure have the middle name, which I'm excited about.

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

Bonus GTKY: Many of us have lots going on this week & it's easy to get caught up in the hectic nature of the holidays. What is one thing you are really proud of/looking forward to this week? I am looking forward to seeing family. Now that my parents and in-laws are in one metro area planning for the holidays is a lot easier.

[Quinstar]

EDD: March 7th

Weeks/Baby's Size: 29 weeks, Pineapple

Appointment plans/results: Thankfully just check ups from here on out, I think there's a growth US sometime around 34 weeks. I passed my 3 hour glucose and the MFM doc cleared his heart. Next appointment is the 28th, the day before my birthday.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I'm alright, feeling pretty thick lately. Some days little boy dances a ton, and other days I have to focus to feel him, but he kicks pretty often.

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

Bonus GTKY: Many of us have lots going on this week & it's easy to get caught up in the hectic nature of the holidays. What is one thing you are really proud of/looking forward to this week? I'm just over the moon thrilled about having all our insurance stuff taken care of, sooo much stress has been lifted.

[erinshelley21]

EDD: 3/21
Weeks/Baby's size: 27 weeks today! Size of cauliflower.
Appointment plans/results: appointment tomorrow. I'm expecting her to get on me about my weight and also give me my order for the glucose test. Going to try to get out of doing my shot there so I can save the $31 in our HSA.
How ya feeling? Starting to swell and I'm just feeling blah. I've been very emotional lately. The nausea was back this morning but hasn't been around for most of the day so that has been nice. I'm feeling pretty relaxed about the whole "not being at all prepared for this baby" thing. I'm sure I'll freak out in a week or so. There are some more clothes arriving for her tomorrow and that's exciting!
Bonus GTKY: Christmas morning and witnessing the magic of Santa through DS's eyes when he opens his most wanted gift.

[mosdub]

EDD: 4/1/17

Weeks/Baby's Size: 25 weeks, a rutabaga?

Appointment plans/results: GD test in January. Last appointment was a quick check up but all was well!

How ya feeling: Good! Some uncomfortable symptoms include major swamp crotch + sore lower back. Otherwise no real complaints.

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Not yet! But my bump is popping for sure.

Bonus GTKY: Many of us have lots going on this week & it's easy to get caught up in the hectic nature of the holidays. What is one thing you are really proud of/looking forward to this week? I'm happy that my gift shopping has been done for over a week, and everything is wrapped so I can just get some simple little additions/stocking stuffers to compliment things. I have 2 gift exchanges in the next two days that should be fun

[amacbaby]

EDD: 3/23

Weeks/Baby's Size: 26w5d, lettuce

Appointment plans/results: Next appointments the day after I get back from Portland. The glucose test and another U/S

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Better on the anxiety front. My rib pain is manageable is I have a comfortable couch to lay on all night. We went to the nutcracker and I was nearly in tears by the end from pain. Otherwise I'm getting both really excited about baby boy and really nervous about my board exam (due at the same time)


Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Not a whole lot. I did so much for the girls and this poor kid probably isn't even going to get a blanket

Bonus GTKY:  Many of us have lots going on this week & it's easy to get caught up in the hectic nature of the holidays.  What is one thing you are really proud of/looking forward to this week?  I am really looking forward to spending time with the girls, and our babyshower is the day after Christmas!

[skk]

EDD: 3/24

Weeks/Baby's Size: 26w4d/butternut squash or bowling pin

Appointment plans/results: Had a quick checkup last Friday. Everything is okay except I lost a pound. Did my GD on Saturday and haven't heard anything from my doctor's office so I'm hoping no news is good news.

How ya feeling: The usual aches and pains, but nothing too horrible. Even though I haven't gained much, I'm feeling large and caught myself waddling a bit the other day. Yikes!

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

Bonus GTKY: I'm just looking forward to the weekend. I'm working all week, but then will be off 10 days straight to spend time with DS and DH.

[caer]

EDD: 3/30

Weeks/Baby's Size: 25w5d/prairie dog

Appointment plans/results: I had my GD test yesterday. Haven't heard anything yet so FX I passed. I get my rhogram shot in two weeks, then I start every other week appointments.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice): I have the worst sinus infection I've had in my life plus pink eye so I've been fairly miserable! But baby seems to be doing ok. He's had hiccups a few times this week. So cute. ❤️

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? I really need to take some bump pics. I always forget

Bonus GTKY: Many of us have lots going on this week & it's easy to get caught up in the hectic nature of the holidays. What is one thing you are really proud of/looking forward to this week?
My brother and his family are spending Christmas with us this year. They just moved back to this coast and it will be the first time in a decade we've spent the holiday together.

[cosmicav]

EDD: 02.28

Weeks/Baby's Size: 30 WEEKS! 10 weeks to my due date, 7 weeks to full term, 5 weeks to the gestation that my first was born at.... #panicmode

Appointment plans/results: I have one tomorrow and then my next one is in early January.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I am obsessed with looking at the calendar because everything feels so soon. I also have major heartburn and my skin wants to explode feelings, my pelvic bone is killing me (the usual), and my body is starting to feel weirdly restless. Like I can't stay in one position for too long because I just feel like I need to move. I also feel gross and big, and I have gained like a billion stretch marks on the top of my belly. The baby movements are huge and drastic though and I love that part.

Bonus GTKY: Many of us have lots going on this week & it's easy to get caught up in the hectic nature of the holidays. What is one thing you are really proud of/looking forward to this week? My dad is coming to visit this weekend, and I haven't seen him in over a year. That should be exciting! But then, he's bringing his wife with him, and she is so obnoxious (and also younger than me so it's weird...), so if I'm around this weekend, I'll probably be hanging out in the family venting thread, lol.

[mosdub]

Yikes caer!!! I hope you feel better quickly, what a double whammy

[mosdub]

After reading through your posts I feel like I'm on the cusp of feeling dramatically bigger.

I'm at the tail end of this BMB so it's always interesting to see what lies ahead.

[Deleted]

EDD: 3/8





Weeks/Baby's Size: almost 29 weeks.





Appointment plans/results:Two week appointments now. Have one next Friday





How ya feeling: Still pretty good, other than the bp problems that have me mostly sidelined.

I'm just trying to focus on enjoying the last Christmas with just DS. Then we're going to work on the nursery.

[glb30]

EDD: 3/25

Weeks: 26w3d, Squash

Appointment Plans: I am doing the GD 1 HR. Tomorrow. My next appointment is 1/13, and then I'll go weekly for NST scans. As an update, we were released from the MFM after 2 perfect ultrasounds, and one echocardiagram. I am just seeing the OB, but they are treating me as high risk bc I carry a blood clotting gene. I don't mind the extra monitoring.

How ya feeling: Okay. I've been getting Braxton Hicks now and then, and they kind of scare me. Getting more used to them now. Still puking. Emotionally, I'm good.

No pics, but my parents bought us the nursery furniture for Christmas. My BIL is coming to visit over New Years to help my H paint the nursery. (Gray!) These are the first things we've really done for baby and it's exciting/scary with PGAL/PGIF still invading my headspace every now and then.

QOTW: Im excited to spend Christmas with my whole family. It's rare that all of my sisters are at home on any given holiday. And in happy we'll be with the dog. I hate boarding him.

This reminds me...no one has said anything about my rhogam shot. Am I misunderstanding when you get them? My DS was positive and I'm confirmed RH-.

They told me I need to get it at 28 weeks. My office requires you to get it no matter what if you're RH-.

Maybe it's different depending on the OB. I hope they can give you an explanation tomorrow!

I'd be less worried if I hadn't had problems with them in the past. Like, with my DS, when I moved the Dr I saw in NH told me this practice had my blood type as O+ and I'm AB-. So IDK if the practice I'm back with didn't change it when I asked them to.

[kristhegirl]

EDD: 3/13
28 weeks, Baby is the size of a roller blade, lol

Passed my one-hour GTT, so yay holiday eating shall continue. Sorry, scale. I have another growth scan next week and I'm on two-week appts now.

No pics. I'm the worst at pics this time around! Elena got at least weekly ones.

I'm looking forward to Elena being excited on Christmas morning. Last year she was too little, but I think she'll be into it this year. I'm also excited to celebrate with my mom!

[daisylola11]

EDD: march 6th

Weeks/Baby's Size:29 weeks/ pineapple (seems huge, but belly is popping out) o__O

Appointment plans/results: next belly check is mid Jan, not sure when I go to biweekly

How ya feeling: pelvic pain and Braxton hicks are my life right now. Oh and throwing up if I have coffee so back to teas and sometimes soda. Boo.

Any pics: my sis started making this little girl clothes and omg she's surprised us with shoes today! AW cuz they're adorable:

Bonus GTKY: looking forward to having DH home more than 2 days! And being with family from out of town who haven't even met DS yet or rarely see him.

[mosdub]

Thinking of missi, let us know how you're doing

[mosdub]

daisylola11 Those are adorable!!!!

kristhegirl I told H last night that I think more than just my belly is getting bigger since some of the maternity dresses I got a while back are now quite snug in the booty area...we agreed that I might as well not worry about it until after the holidays. It's so hard to avoid treats this time of year, especially when you work in a school/office where everyone brings in all the things every day.

[obi]

EDD: 3/10

Weeks/Baby's Size: 28w4d coconut

Appointment plans/results: fetal echocardiogram tomorrow morning and a BPP u/s tomorrow afternoon.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
I feel alright. Just big and uncomfortable. I have heartburn like crazy so tidying up is even more difficult. Bending over isnt easy to begin with but now fire shoots up my chest and throat every time too. Grrrreat.
Lots of strong kicks. You can see my whole belly move. I come from a long line of ladies with thunder thighs so I doubt this girl is any different lol.

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)?
No pics. In the new year i will begin to tackle the nursery. I need to find the perfect area rug first.

Bonus GTKY:  Many of us have lots going on this week it's easy to get caught up in the hectic nature of the holidays. What is one thing you are really proud of/looking forward to this week?
Im just excited to be with family and for my h to have a couple extra days off.

[jnow]

EDD: 3/30

Weeks/Baby's Size: 26 tomorrow

Appointment plans/results: normal check up last week. Everything is fine.

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

I'm feeling pretty good. I've been working out like once a week, but i want to up that because my hips don't hurt as much when i do.


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

No. Really need to clean out the nursery.

Bonus GTKY: Many of us have lots going on this week & it's easy to get caught up in the hectic nature of the holidays. What is one thing you are really proud of/looking forward to this week? Taking dd to see Santa (although she will prob cry)

[jnow]

WAIT. I do have pics.



2014 vs 2016

Also, i bought these for the new baby. I figure she will have mostly hand me downs, so she deserves a hat (or 2) for when she is brand new.

Poof

[mikaela20]

EDD: March 5

Weeks/Baby's Size: 29 weeks, pinapple

Appointment plans/results: Tomorrow I have my growth appt- so excited to know how big he is.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I am always exhausted! Just feel like sleeping all day everyday but I've been so busy on the weekends that I don't get any rest.

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? My mom and I sewed some bamboo cotton diapers and inserts and also the nursey curtains. Slowly coming together. Will try for a pic next week.

Bonus GTKY: Many of us have lots going on this week & it's easy to get caught up in the hectic nature of the holidays. What is one thing you are really proud of/looking forward to this week? I really am looking forward to Sat- I just have to prep a pot luck dish for xmas and thats it! Planning to stay in my pj's and hopefully getting some rest.
