Boy/ Girl/ Team Green: FTM to a girl

Symptoms/ Questions/ Concerns: exhaustion and "pregsomnia" - the struggle is real y'all

Next Appt: I have a consult with anesthesia next Friday and a "peace of mind" ultrasound and regular 32 week check-up on 4/14. I'm every three weeks right now, but after this next appointment, I'm an every two weeker. Moving right along!

[megd893]

Week/ Fruit: 28 weeks/Eggplant!

Boy/Girl/Team Green: FTM to a boy

Symptoms/ Questions/ Concerns: Insomnia, and still dealing with nausea (especially in the mornings). Keeping fingers crossed that the circumvallate is moderate and not causing any growth complications.

Next Appt: Today at 3:30! We'll get results from last weeks U/S and hear how the boy and the placenta are both doing. Also, need to find out how much of an iron supplement I now need to take as advised by my last checkup (but not wanting to load it on and not be able to poop!)

GTKY: Being a family! Learning his ins and outs and seeing how DW and I are different with him ALSO - eating sandwiches, having a cold beer, and sushi

Week/ Fruit: 27 weeks/ rutabaga

Boy/Girl/Team Green: FTM to a boy

Next Appt: Thursday: Doctors apt and then an ultrasound.

GTKY: What are you most excited for post- pregnancy?  A skin blisteringly hot bubble bath in my jetted tub and the gallons of iced tea.

Week 30!

STM team green

Next appointment April 9, just regular prenatal check

Starting to pee more, baby has stepped up its moving around game the last couple days!

GTKY: Sentemental wise, I can't wait to see DS's reaction meeting him/her, and then watching then be siblings.
And beer. Specifically sitting out in the backyard having one.

[sgarmand]

Week/ Fruit: 26 weeks - Lettuce.

Boy/Girl/Team Green: FTM to baby girl.

Symptoms/ Questions/ Concerns: Lots of pressure going on down low, and I cramped pretty bad yesterday. Other than that, just very easily exhausted. I potted two plants yesterday and it felt like I had ran ten miles.

Next Appt: Glucose testing on Thursday, then my 28 week appointment on April 9th.

GTKY: What are you most excited for post- pregnancy? Taking my workout supplements again and getting back into the gym with DH. It used to be something we did together daily and I really miss having that time with him and the results of the working out in general. This will be a whole new challenge with baby and I'm excited to hangout in our home gym as a family.

[txngrl31]

megd893, Fingers crossed for no growth complications and a successful ultrasound. Keep us updated!

Bluedaisy, will you be eating all the bananas post pregnancy!?

@pcrunk, good luck on your GTT tomorrow!

tiffbot, right there with you on the more frequent bathroom breaks

sgarmand, good luck with your glucose test!

[carolyngrace]

Week/ Fruit: 31 weeks.

Boy/Girl/Team Green: FTM to baby boy.

Symptoms/ Questions/ Concerns: Sore hips, can't poop, waking to pee 3-4 times/night, walking with a waddle, sex drive is completely gone, feeling sick after eating (no room in there!), and probably the most emotional I've been all pregnancy. Baby boy is moving around a TON though, so that's fun. I feel so bonded to him.

Next Appt: The regular, in a couple weeks.

GTKY: What are you most excited for post- pregnancy? Having my body back - Wearing normal clothes, being able to lean over, etc (I know it will take a while, but still).

Look at all the Monday Mommies!!


31 weeks (hello, single digit countdown)! A bundle of asparagus? Whatever. 4 lbs of baby!

Team Blue, TTM

Ditto carolyngrace. Feeling nauseous still, not as many "good" days, my lower back and hips get to sore it hurts to move. My groin/crotch is aching and I feel like I need a sling to hold me together down there. LO is moving like crazy, and I can't say I mind too much. Big brother and sister are loving it

Next Appt not til the 7th, then every 2 weeks. Trying hard not be a giant hippo by then...but...bagels. Sigh.

So excited to have my energy back! And running again! Pretty much the only thing I've been deprived of food-wise is wine (I totally eat deli meat), and rum. Bring on the fruity drinks!

Symptoms/ Questions/ Concerns:  Doing pretty good right now.  Having some minor pelvic pain so I'm preparing for my debilitating SPD to be back again.

Next Appt:  I have my 1 hour glucose test this afternoon and regular OB checkup/ultrasound.

GTKY: What are you most excited for post- pregnancy?  Just getting back to normal with everything.  Having a new little family member to enjoy.

[Girlymama79]

Boy/Girl/Team Green: team pink

Symptoms/ Questions/ Concerns: I want nothing to eat but hamburgers, Popsicles and twix. Maybe some French fries with my hamburger.

Next Appt: Wednesday!

GTKY: What are you most excited for post- pregnancy? Sleeping on my stomach, no more Braxton hicks, and having a drink

[mrsholley1344]

Week/ Fruit:
27 weeks

Boy/Girl/Team Green:
girl, Quinn

Symptoms/ Questions/ Concerns:
I am feeling really good still. I have a crazy schedule, so I am usually tired but that is because of how much I work. Being at the end of the month it is strange to see so many ladies talking about 30 and 31 weeks. It makes me feel like I'm posting/reading in the wrong month.

Next Appt:
Tomorrow. I failed my one hour glucose test, so I have my three hour at 8:30. So not excited about it. I hate having blood drawn. Just praying I pass this one...

GTKY: What are you most excited for post- pregnancy?
Other then meeting this little girl... I will be happy to think less about what I put in my body (how much caffeine and alcohol). Of course I am planning on Brest feeding so I will still have to keep this in mind. At least I was never a big alcohol drinker. which is why I feel so bad about a glass of wine, one glass was enough to make me feel the wine pre-pregnancy.

[amber311]

Week/ Fruit: 27 weks rutabaga

Boy/Girl/Team Green: FTM Sweet baby girl!

Symptoms/ Questions/ Concerns: gassy, weepy, tired with some mild ligament pain but overall pretty good.
Appt: next week thursday. Nothing special. HB check and measurements. Then every 2 weeks.

GTKY: What are you most excited for post- pregnancy? NBR: DMB concert and booze BR: watching my husband be a dad

[lc1158]

Week/ Fruit: 30 / Cucumber (I can appreciate the comparison in terms of length but overall size? I just about peed my pants when I saw this - she is anything *but* nice and skinny like a cucumber at this point. )

Boy/Girl/Team Green: girl!

Symptoms/ Questions/ Concerns: the feel of her kicks seem to have changed - more subtle is the best way I can describe them. She still does her daily 10 in 15 mins or less but makes me wonder. Maybe she is facing the back again.

Next Appt: Wednesday.

GTKY: What are you most excited for post- pregnancy? Being able to get out of bed without feeling like a turtle stuck on my back ... Lol. And seeing what/who she looks and what her cries sound like.

[Bluedaisy]

txngrl31, I am really just wondering how to get through the next three months with no bananas....here come the leg cramps!

[carolyngrace]

Yo lc1158, have you posted on the Monday ticker change before and I'm just forgetting? If it's your first time, welcome to Monday

I have way back when. Lol but I usually miss them!!! I was so happy to be on time today

[ombradellarosa]

Yay lots of Monday mamas!

Week/ Fruit: 31 weeks and baby is a pineapple! She weighs three pounds, 13 ounces. I know she's bigger because I can feel her moving all over.

Boy/Girl/Team Green: Girl!

Symptoms/ Questions/ Concerns: Like lc1158, I'm feeling a difference in movement. Before everything felt like nudges, some stronger than others. Now it feels like different types of movement. I swear I've felt an elbow scrape across my belly a few times. She rolls around so much that sometimes I feel like a tumble drier! I can see huge movements from the outside and it's crazy. I had no idea.
My allergies are still pretty bad and relaxin is wreaking havoc with my bones and oesophagus. However, I am not sick anymore and I'm gaining weight healthily so I am grateful and I'll take whatever other symptoms I get! People are still telling me I'm tiny, which irritates me because I'm not and comparisons aren't fair. At least it's more balanced now with people acknowledging I have a big baby belly I didn't have before. Because, hello.

Next Appt: I had an appointment today! Baby's still being a stinker and won't let the doctor take a picture of her face. Doc cares a lot more about that than we do, though. DH joked today that the baby doesn't HAVE a face and the doctor threw him the dirtiest look. It was hilarious. We saw a profile at the AS so I'm not bothered. Next appointment will be in two weeks with the doctor who's going to deliver me, so I have to be ready with all my questions.

GTKY: What are you most excited for post- pregnancy? Seeing what the baby looks like! Seriously, I struggled a lot with letting her go but now I'm so excited to hold her in my arms and see her little face. Heredity is my favourite part of biology so I'm really excited to see the combination of our genes. I'm also really ready for my back to stop hurting and my nose to stop running. I'm going to miss feeling her inside me though.
