What week/fruit are you? 27 weeks. Rutabaga (never eaten one)
Boy / Girl / Team Green? Baby boy
FTM or STM+? FTM. I have 2 step kids but this is the first one coming out of my vag...yikes!
Any appointments this week? in 2 weeks. I'll have my glucose test
Symptoms/milestones? Symptoms: I've been getting dizzy/light headed occasionally.
Questions/comments/concerns? Yesterday I freaked b/c this booger tends to be almost annoyingly active but he wasn't moving much at all. I tried the drink juice and lay to the left trick and got a bit of movement. After I call the doc and they are on the verge of telling me to go to L&D and get monitored, he starts kicking like a mule. What a skunk, he waited until about 5pm. So I guess my concern would be, what is the threshold when you go in for decreased fetal movement? I know the kick counts say 10 within an hour or two but when you've got a super active kid going to less active but not inactive...do you worry?
GTKY: Have you decided on your baby's name? Share if you'd like! Ethan James Ethan is the only name we could agree on and James after my father
What week/fruit are you? 26w I'm not sure which fruit I never know.
Boy / Girl / Team Green?
BOY!
FTM or STM+? STM- rainbow baby
Any appointments this week? I had a check-in on Monday and baby's heartbeat and my bp were fine. I will have another growth u/s March 3. We are letting MIL come since H needs a ride (we only have one car at the moment and I can't go all the way to his work to bring him to our hospital) it will be so weird to have another person there but I know she's excited.
Symptoms/milestones?
My loss milestone is this week. It's a huge one and a very large hurtle to get over. H and I are both anxious about it even though we know it's so circumstantial.
GTKY: Have you decided on your baby's name? Share if you'd like!
We HAVE decided but we are keeping it a secret. I'm afraid if I tell you all then I'll start telling people IRL too. My sister asked for initials for the baby shower and I refused. I don't know why I'm being so secretive but it seems fun to have it be just between H and I.It's a good name though, I promise.
What week/fruit are you? 28 weeks, no clue on which fruit
Boy / Girl / Team Green? Team green
FTM or STM+? Third time mom, have 2 girls already
Any appointments this week? 1 hour glucose yesterday, Rhogam today
Symptoms/milestones? All I want to eat is junk food. We are super low on groceries and I'm scared to go to the store because I know I will buy candy, chips and not much else
Questions/comments/concerns? I got money to go shopping for baby stuff and I haven't bought anything yet. We already have clothes and the crib and stuff, we just need a few smaller things, I'm just surprised I've been able to hold out this long.
GTKY: Have you decided on your baby's name? Share if you'd like! We don't even have a list of potential names, and we'll need a boy list and a girl list. I am going to look up how long until I have to turn in the birth certificate info cause this baby may well be a toddler before it has a name.
And fikmama1986, mine did the same exact thing last week. I don't know if it was hitting a growth spurt or what but after a few days of constantly worrying because I was getting next to no movement, it spent about 2 days moving nonstop and is now back to the same amount as before. Keep track but try not to panic.

What week/fruit are you? Week 28...Large eggplant
Boy / Girl / Team Green? Boy
FTM or STM+? FTM
Any appointments this week? I have two u/s in March, but nothing else this month. I'm anxious for my growth u/s. I feel like baby is HUGE and at my last appointment I was measuring 5 weeks ahead.
Symptoms/milestones? First day of 3rd trimester today! Back pain has started this week, I'm too uncomfortable to sleep, and my pubic bone kills me at all the times. The usual! Also, today I am feeling ragey preg hormones galore. I just want to cry, punch everyone, and yell at my MIL. That's normal...right?
Questions/comments/concerns? fikmama1986, I've been in the same boat with concerns over changes in movement. For a while, he seemed so consistent. Then there seemed to be less movement overall, and now he's kinda all over the place. I mentioned it lightly to my MIL and now she's at 100% freak-out, which doesn't help me AT ALL.
GTKY: Have you decided on your baby's name? Share if you'd like! Jackson Everett. We love it! We were trying to keep it to ourselves until he was born, but my ILs and parents were driving me absolutely bonkers over it and DH really wanted to tell them, so I caved. No huge regrets yet, I just hate feeling like I was bullied into giving something special away.

What week/fruit are you? 29 weeks, acorn squash
Boy / Girl / Team Green? Team pink!
FTM or STM+? FTM
Any appointments this week? Nope, nothing for two more weeks
Symptoms/milestones? I'm definitely starting to get uncomfortable.Bending over is becoming difficult, I've been having some shortness of breath, I cannot STAND anything touching my boobs (including my bra, which sucks), and my feet are starting to hurt/swell. I've also definitely noticed a decrease in energy - all I want to do is sleep.
Questions/comments/concerns? Possible stupid question, but can BH contractions occur only on one side or in a localized area? Last night I had a weird tightening sensation in my lower abdomen but only on my right side. I'm wondering if that's what a BH feels like.
GTKY: Have you decided on your baby's name? Share if you'd like! Yep, Clara Catherine - possible nn of CeCe although so far we've just been calling her Clara so I'm not sure CeCe will stick.
Boy / Girl / Team Green? Team Green--still leaning towards boy
FTM or STM+? FTM
Any appointments this week? No, next Thursday
Symptoms/milestones? Can't believe I'll be at 30w next week. That's a big milestone in my mind!
Questions/comments/concerns? I wish our showers were sooner than a month away so I can feel more confident in what we need to get still. Right now I feel like it's a waiting game...
GTKY: Have you decided on your baby's name? Share if you'd like! Either Graham Wade or Reese Katherine
I'm in the same boat as you with the whole shower thing. I'm not even positive I'm getting a shower...nobody's mentioned anything and I'm not about to ask. I would be incredibly surprised if my mom wasn't planning something though. But I kind of want to ask because I'm a planner and I want to know if I need to start buying shit. Even if I am getting a shower, I wish they'd hurry it up already because not having things like a crib mattress and a changing pad is stressing me out and I want to have them ready to go NOW.
Also, I LURVE your name choices! Andplusalso - 30 weeks is kind of blowing my mind a little. It seems like such a BIG milestone to me, too. I feel like the pregnancy has completely FLOWN by and I keep thinking I need time to slow down a little so I can prepare myself more.

What week/fruit are you? 28 weeks. Cucumber
Boy / Girl / Team Green? boy
FTM or STM+? 3rd time mom but first boy
Any appointments this week? I had my check up last week. I was a little bummed that the dr wouldn't even guess at which way the baby was positioned. I had a breast ultrasound the other day for the pain I was having. I am all clear. The fibroadimona I've had for a while is actually gone! I guess the pain is just a weird pregnant thing.
Symptoms/milestones? Just the usual offenders...hip pain, RLS...
Questions/comments/concerns? After my right breast got a good check up...I noticed my left nipple was leaking a little blood along with colostrum in the shower. Has anyone experienced this before? My body is driving me crazy!
GTKY: Have you decided on your baby's name? Share if you'd like! It's still a little bit of a sore subject after I told dh I wanted to change the middle name. We haven't really talked about to the point of finding a solution. I'm assuming baby will be Bennett something
Poppy sending you love and strength during this tough milestone
What week/fruit are you? 29 weeks!
Boy / Girl / Team Green? B/G twins
FTM or STM+? FTM
Any appointments this week? Had an OB and MFM this week
Symptoms/milestones? Sheer exhaustion and feeling like I'm done. Only 9 weeks at most til we meet these munchkins and only about 5 weeks left at work.
Questions/comments/concerns? Babies are a little over 3lbs each and I'm measuring as full term for a singleton preg. So yeah, I'm feeling done, even though I've got a ways to go.
GTKY: Have you decided on your baby's name? Share if you'd like!
Any appointments this week? I have one on Monday with my OB
Symptoms/milestones? Failed my 1 hr glucose and had to go back for the 3 hour. I go in to have the fasting draw and drink the glucose (which was GROSS) then I sit back down to wait for my next draw. All of a sudden people were all rushing around. Turns out a pipe burst back in one of the rooms and water was pouring out of the ceiling. Not just a trickle pouring out like you left on the bathtub water running. They made everyone leave and go to a different lab. They had a tech follow me to the other lab so they could keep all my blood together. I really hope nothing gets screwed up because I don't want to do that again.
Questions/comments/concerns? I'm really hoping I pass the 3 hour. This has been a pretty uneventful pregnancy and I'd like to keep it that way.
GTKY: Have you decided on your baby's name? Share if you'd like! Right now she is Baby G. I'm so undecided about a name. We just haven't fallen in love with something yet.
