Happy weekend everyone!

Sorry if someone has done this: it's my first time participating in a ticket change but it was one of the things discussed to improved the board so here goes.

GTKY: what did you want to do when you 'grow up'?

I've hit week 28: officially 3rd trimester! So excited!!! And terrified of course. LO is an eggplant this week.

Symptoms have been pretty mild lately: feeling like a water balloon stretched to bursting point and I wore heels out to dinner last night so my hips are very tight and sore this morning. My fault, and so worth it to dress nicely for a while again!
Appointments: midwife check in and first antenatal class on 21 April.

GTKY: I always thought wearing suits was the coolest thing and the only people I knew who wore suits were accountants. I dropped that goal about 3 days after starting accounting class in high school. But I wear suits (lawyer) so it's still happy days on that front

29 weeks. Fruit? I don't know but I'm going with giant pumpkin because that's what he feels like today.

Symptoms: TONS of movement. Absolutely exhausted, as in I can't get enough sleep.

Appointments: Routine check coming up on Tuesday. I'm on every other week from here on out.

GTKY: I wanted to be a jockey when I grew up. Then I grew up to be 5'9 so I'm an attorney instead. But not the kind that wears suits. We're much more casual in juvenile court.

29 weeks, no idea on the fruit
Symptoms: lots of crazy movement! Getting some pelvic pain too which I don't remember getting until much later last pregnancy.
Appointments: I went yesterday- nothing all that exciting. HB was good, etc.
GTKY: the first thing I ever remember wanting to be was a waitress. Strange kid, I know!

29 weeks acorn squash

Bad bad Braxton hicks. Just now leaving L & D cause Im having them every 5-10 mins. Cervix is all closed up though so we are good and they are sending me home!

April 8 my 25th bday is my next appointment.

I wanted to be a sports analyst. I would still love to do that!

That's scary but glad they're sending you home. I don't know about this whole 'Braxton Hicks don't hurt' guideline I've been told. I swear some of my pain has been from BH and if your's are bad I'm feeling for you. Fingers crossed they stop soon.

28 weeks! Third trimester!!! According to TD, LO is the size of an eggplant. I only keep the app on my phone so I know what size fruit/veggie it says we're at.

I am sleeping terribly. Tossing and turning all night long. It sucks. Feeling/seeing lots of movement which is cool- just not when everyone then thinks they are entitled to touch my belly. Also, wicked heartburn.

No appointments until April 7. I'm going every other week now, which blows my mind. This train needs to slow down!

When I was little, I wanted to be a vet or a lawyer. But then I discovered that my true talents are music and teaching. After I get my doctorate, I'd love to be the head of a music teacher education program at the University level.

29 weeks yesterday, which is an acorn squash. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Symptoms are the usual. Hp and pelvic pain, heartburn, hemmroids and being tired all the time. Other than that, I feel fine!

My next appointment is April 8, and every two weeks from here on out. So not ready.

When I was a kid I wanted to be a ballerina rodeo queen. But where I grew up there were no dance classes, and my dad basically taught me to be afraid of horses while trying to teach me how to ride, so that didn't happen. . I Always wanted to be a SAHM, so you could say I'm living the dream.

30 weeks - allegedly cucumber (though the English kind not a regular one)

Symptoms - other than ugly veins showing up everywhere and making me concerned for my post-baby body I'm feeling pretty good.

30 week appt and appt with endocrinologist this week. Beginning in 2 weeks I get to go twice a week....

GTKY- I wanted to be a lawyer. I am a lawyer but not a kind I ever knew existed when I was little, but I love it.

Week and fruit: 28 weeks...eggplant baby! 3rd trimester, which already sucks as much as people say.

Symptoms: I am uncomfortable ALL the time. My backs hurts so badly from the extra weight, and no matter whether I'm sitting/standing/lying down, it's hard to breathe. I'm getting the WORST leg/foot cramps...so painful and so consistent. Peeing all the time, which means I can't sleep through the night. Constantly congested/sneezy. Major nighttime heartburn. super fun stuff!

Appointments: Tomorrow (3/30) is my GD test & check-up. So nervous! But I'm feeling her move around more which is reassuring.

GTKY: what did you want to do when you 'grow up'? I wanted to be a writer. I wrote stories my entire life and majored in writing in college. Then once I graduated, I realized that the only jobs for writers who actually needed to make money and couldn't wait for a novel to hit the bestseller list were BOOOORING. So I managed a Victoria's Secret and then a Limited Too, then worked at a law firm for 3 years, then finally realized I wanted to be an English teacher.

Week & fruit: 28 weeks today, and based on other posts, that means he's an eggplant.

Symptoms: I'm tired a lot more often, my lower back hurts, and now I've suddenly had dizzy spells. That wasn't fun. Also, I think I had my first BH today driving home, but I really don't know what it was so I'm just assuming. He's also moving around with a lot more force, and my belly is starting to get in the way (like I keep forgetting that I need extra clearance when opening doors)

Appointments: Thursday, April 2 I have my GD test and a regular check up. This is the start of biweekly, it's going so fast!

GTKY: I was a weird kid, I wanted to be a financial analyst. I ended up marrying one and I'm a CPA that does corporate tax. So, ended up kind of close.

Week 30 cucumber... Such a strange fruit suggestion to describe the size of a baby! Im such an airhead though. This whole time I thought my due date was June 5th so I was always doing the wrong ticker change day. At my appointment last week the doctor reminded me my due date is June 7th.

Appointments-my next appointment is April 7th. Probably just to check my weight and baby heartbeat etc.

Symptoms-I've been feeling exhausted from my intense work schedule and the meetings I have had to be in at work also are just stressing me out. I was previously going to work up until June 1st but after I told my doctor how I have been feeling he told me I should really take it easy and have my last work day be May 15th. I'm thinking about it.

What I used to want to be when I grew up- I never had one career goal but I do remember a marine biologist being a favorite and an architect then later on a fashion designer ( this is my current career) I still fantasize about switching from fashion design to landscape architect but that would mean going back to school since I would need to study geology etc.

28 weeks today! Wahoo 3rd trimester.
Exhausted. Accepting it as a part of my life because I know it's not going to get better anytime soon! Resting while I can now, since every mom has told me it's a whole new world of tired once baby is here!
Dermatologist appt on Monday, OB on Friday for glucose tolerance test.
I wanted to be a pediatrician when I grew up-I started pre-Med in college and hated it

28 weeks - eggplant? I give up in how confusing the fruits are.

Tired, heartburn, and pelvic bone hurts. I was waddling this morning, since it doesn't hurt as much that way, and mentioned how soon I'll only waddle. DH responded with "you aren't waddling already?" Thanks dude. Kiddo is a mover - but doesn't show off. People touch the bump and he stops.

Next appt, once scheduled, will be the 3 hr test. Dr appt is April 27 I think.

I always wanted to be a mom (cheesy, but only consistent thing). And a writer, and a traveler, and a teacher, and a doctor. Someday, since I'm not fully grown up yet (right?!), I want to be a book reviewer. I still change my mind like a 5 year old weekly!
