Appointment plans/results: Appointment this Friday. Pretty sure there's a scan to check placenta placement again.
How ya feeling: I feel OK other than how low the movements are. I only feel baby moving in my pubic area now. So weird.
Bonus GTKY: What off limits food/drunk are you most looking forward to after pregnancy? Wine. Lots of wine. My mom was an ass all Thanksgiving/Christmas CONSTANTLY reminding me I couldn't drink.
How ya feeling: Like crap. Part of my 28 week labs was testing my thyroid so I am wondering if things are a little off (they were with DD1 and I was on meds in the third tri). We will see.
Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? We picked out a crib! Now we just have to order it and the matching changing table.
Bonus GTKY: What off limits food/drunk are you most looking forward to after pregnancy: BEER. WINE. Margaritas. MH doesn't drink much but just mentioned the other day he want to get some of my favorite wine so we have it in the house for after the baby is born.

EDD: march 6th
Weeks/Baby's Size: week 32/ book choi
Appointment plans/results: belly check wed.
How ya feeling: pelvic pain comes and goes but definitely am moving like a sloth most days and waddling. Restless legs last night was kinda bad, I guess I might have to just add a calcium to my daily pill taking, going to ask MW on wed as far as taking it certain time since I'm also taking an iron and prenatal a day.

I want to say beer and wine but with the plan to breastfeed I'll still be limited lol at least I'll be able to really enjoy a couple at once though
Appointment plans/results: Belly check on Thursday
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I feel really fat. And I can't sleep anymore, it's like my sides are all sore from laying just on them, so I turn over about every half hour.
It's worse on one side, because our house is really dry, and I've already got really dry sinuses, and when I roll over towards my DH, and he's turned towards me, his sleep apnea machine blows air in my face. Poor DH, all he wants to do is cuddle and I have to tell him to roll over.
Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? I should do this soon. The nursery is put together, but there's nothing in it yet.
Bonus GTKY: What off limits food/drunk are you most looking forward to after pregnancy Medium rare steak, liquid egg yolks, and whiskey. And coffee.
Appointment plans/results: Shot on Wednesday and full appointment on the 18th. I'll be getting a cervix check and the GBS swab, which I didn't make it to last time so they scheduled it earlier for me this time. I'm a little nervous.
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I am SO UNCOMFORTABLE. I can't get comfortable no matter what I do, and my body and legs feel restless when I sit in one spot for too long. My pelvis is dying and I get out of breath when I talk too much (which is great for a speech therapist). I also have like a billion countdowns going in my head. About 2 weeks to the gestation my first was born at. 5 butt shots left. 4 weeks to full term.
Bonus GTKY: What off limits food/drunk are you most looking forward to after pregnancy? I am looking forward to unrestricted coffee and all the pizza and greasy things with no heartburn
I love that crib! jnow I've been thinking about selling the crib DS slept in to buy a white one used. Can't decide.
I can't remember, do you have a nursery with a theme/color scheme. I remember you talking about the crib before, but can't remember the details.
My grandma is giving me a set of white furniture with gold accents. I have a color scheme picked out but haven't really started on anything, I should get on that. Lol
The crib we had for DS was the natural pine color. I think white would probably look better with the color scheme.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I am so happy that the sinus infection is clearing up. I can feel LO much more clearly now that I'm feeling better. Now, it's just the usual acid reflux. UO - I don't mind Tums, so just staying ahead on those.
Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Nope
Bonus GTKY: What off limits food/drunk are you most looking forward to after pregnancy Alcohol. I'm not a big drinker, but there have been times during this pregnancy where I felt like a glass of wine would have been nice. I've also been avoiding cold meat sandwiches and will probably binge on those after pregnancy.

EDD: March 18th
Weeks/Baby's Size: 30+2
Appointment plans/results: Regular (boring) appointment on Wednesday
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I've been feeling pretty dang good other than the occasional right hip pain and acid reflux. I've also noticed some pregsomnia in the last few days, which of course is no fun!
Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? I have so much to do in the nursery still!
Bonus GTKY: What off limits food/drunk are you most looking forward to after pregnancy I'll ditto what most others have said. Wine. I am also not a huge drinker, but wine sounds really good!
Appointment plans/results: I had a BPP scheduled for Saturday morning and totally forgot! I rescheduled for this coming Sunday. Thursday I see my diabetes team and Friday I finally see my old OB! I am sure she will be ordering my NST's start soon.
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I feel like shit because I have a cold. My pelvis is killing me always and I can't breathe well and have heartburn like a mofo. I am also a horny monster so my H has been very happy. We DTD last night and then I woke him up MOTN to do it again. I CAN'T BE TAMED!
Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Nothing yet. I need an area rug and dresser. Hopefully money I am expecting comes in next month and I can put an order in with IKEA.
Bonus GTKY: What off limits food/drunk are you most looking forward to after pregnancy Beer. I need beer. I am committed to finding wine(s) I like this year as well because that is the healthy thing to do, right? I also miss lunch meat. I don't eat many sandwiches but it is nice to be able to have one when I am in a rush.

EDD: 3/8
Weeks/Baby's Size: Almost 32w/I don't understand any of the sizes anymore
Appointment plans/results: Last week's appointment went well, next one is 1/18
How ya feeling: I had a massage on Sunday but then promptly awkwardly lifted things and cleaned out my closet, so I think all the massage was undone.
Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? If I remember, I'll upload a picture of the blanket my SIL made that I decided made a good nursery theme.
Bonus GTKY: What off limits food/drunk are you most looking forward to after pregnancy? I just really want wine. I don't miss beer very much, or liquor, but I do miss a glass of good wine.
My grandma is giving me a set of white furniture with gold accents. I have a color scheme picked out but haven't really started on anything, I should get on that. Lol
The crib we had for DS was the natural pine color. I think white would probably look better with the color scheme.
These are the colors. Sorry if huge, mobile.
Ahh - what if you pick out sheets that go with the color scheme? Then maybe you can keep the crib?

EDD: 3/21 Weeks/baby's size: 30 weeks tomorrow and baby will be the size of a head of cabbage Appointment plans/results: failed the 1hr glucose so I'm going to do the 3 hour wednesday. It also showed anemia so I start iron supplements tomorrow. Thursday I have a regularly scheduled appt. How ya feeling: overwhelmed. It is the calm before the storm at work and I need to get a move on. I don't feel overwhelmed with baby stuff though so that's good. At least I don't yet. Heartburn is at ease and while that's nice, it has indirectly caused leg cramps and poop issues. I'm sure the iron supplements are just going to make those worse. Any pics: hopefully later this week I can share pics of the dresser! Onto bow and headband holders after that! Bonus GTKY: I'm not scared to admit I am a big drinker lol. I could use a cocktail. There is a local wine that I swear helped my milk supply with ds.
Weeks/Baby's Size: 28 weeks- finally in third tri! Eggplant
Appointment plans/results: glucose test was today, now waiting to see if I passed. Also got my winrho injection. Next appt is Jan 20
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) It feels like I'm almost over this flu, so fingers crossed it's gone through the house and won't be back! Braxton Hicks are getting real, much earlier than last time. I'm still awaiting move news which sucks, I really want to know where I'm going to be having this baby.
Bonus GTKY: I swear I want wine more when I'm pregnant than any other time
Appointment plans/results: ... every morning at 6amish.. ~laugh~ I asked today and my doctor's partner said that I will still get ultrasounds, so I'm guessing as Thursday will be 2 weeks from the last one, we'll do a check then?
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Loving listening to tiny's heartbeat all the time Today he seemed to move back upwards and is making me breathless ;p DH finally started discussing baby names.. in the most analytical list / process way. I'll have to dig up some of the top options.
Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? I'm saving it for Wednesday! I haven't gotten to join in that thread for a long time!
Bonus GTKY: What off limits food/drunk are you most looking forward to after pregnancy Not a specific drink, just the freedom to go on a date (even a date night in) and have an alcoholic drink with my hubby. He loves for me to try scotch with him and making us Diablos.
erinshelley21 I'm all for a wine that increases milk supply! Care to share??
Oliver Sweet Red. It's an Indiana wine. I think you can order online. I would have a glass at night after ds went to bed while I pumped most nights. One night I didn't and he next morning I only pumped like 7 ounces total. 10-12 was normal. This was early on too when he was like 4 or 5 months old.
Appointment plans/results: OB/GYN scheduled growth ultrasound for next week. My NP suggested he/she was measuring behind because I'm petite so we're hoping the OB/GYN is just covering her butt making sure nothing is wrong. Tomorrow is my pre-admission appointment at the hospital & I'm likely going to be very annoying with my questions.
How ya feeling: We bought a ton of baby stuff this weekend and will buy more this week so I'm feeling much more prepared on the "baby at home" front. I'm feeling less confident about the whole hospital experience. I'm hoping our hospital visit tomorrow along with our hypnobirthing class and online prenatal course (free from health unit) will leave us feeling more confident. I think making a birth plan will help a bit with my anxiety as well. Canadian peeps, I discovered this basic birth plan from the SOGC: pregnancy.sogc.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Birth-Plan.pdf
Bonus GTKY: What off limits food/drink are you most looking forward to after pregnancy? Tea & coffee. Because I love chocolate and put cocoa in everything, I've really limited my intake of caffeinated beverages. All I want is a nice cup of Chocolate Rocket (maté tea).

EDD: 3/30
Weeks/Baby's Size: 28w5d
Appointment plans/results: Had my glucose last week and I passed! That was a relief. Next appointment is 1/20.
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Overall, feeling pretty good. Still have to keep tums on my nightstand for heartburn that kicks in when I lay down. And some random Braxton hicks, but other than that, I'm not complaining right now!
On the name front, I think we found an Irish boy name that we BOTH like...Brady. This has been quite the challenge for us. The girl name came so easily with #1! Anyways, now the next step is a middle name which is also proving to be a challenge. Some we like are Everett, Sullivan, Jackson or Nolan. All of this may change (I thought we were close to a name before and that changed) but for now, we love Brady!
Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Nothing really new on this front. I'll try to get a bump pic tomorrow for HDBD.
Bonus GTKY: What off limits food/drunk are you most looking forward to after pregnancy? Pretty much just alcohol of any kind. Most specifically, wine. I wouldn't say I'm a heavy drinker but I just enjoy having a glass or 2 to unwind a couple nights a week!
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I am feeling so HUGE and uncomfortable. My bump is getting lopsided and now I can tell baby is in my right horn. It's a bit odd to actually feel all the growing and moving on one side only. I am also starving all the time.
Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)?
Bonus GTKY: What off limits food/drink are you most looking forward to after pregnancy. Hmm everything - unpasteurized cheese, sushi, and wine- though I've been having these in moderation so doesn't feel so bad. But it would be great to go on a binge after lol
