1) 31 weeks (can't believe it)/ FTM / Team Pink/ Pineapple

2) I think I over did it on Saturday while trying to clean the house and squatting to dust off all the nooks and crannies. My hips and legs were aching all over when I went to sleep. I told my DH," I'm scared you might have to carry me out of the bed in the morning." Luckily, rest healed that issue. I'm still dealing with pregsomnia, and the baby's kicks can sometimes be a little painful if repeated in the same spot above my belly button.

3) I have an anesthesia consult on Fri and then my 32 week regular appointment next Tues that includes a "peace of mind" ultrasound. Biweekly appointments after that, and then weekly when I hit 36 weeks.

4) Even though it was tough being far away from family yesterday on Easter, it was so nice to have friends over yesterday to share the holiday with. Plus, there was chocolate cake...huge positive for me. And "Holla" for 7 hour sleep nights!

Have a good week!

1) 32 weeks. FTM. Boy.

2) I also overdid it this weekend. I got a massage (which was awesome!) but then immediately came home and did yard work for 2 hours. Sooo much squatting and moving stuff around. I have some serious RLP-type pain today. Also, I get super thirsty right before bed (no matter how much I drink during the day) and then wake up at 1, 2, and 3am to pee. Fun.

3) Nothing special!

4) For some reason DH has been in awesome-husband mode lately. No grumpiness when I ask him to do something, super attentive, remembering little things... It's different but I'm not complaining! Also we attended a funeral for a 60 year-old extended family member. In itself it was very sad, but it was a great reminder to focus on the positives in life and enjoy it.

So my due date is on a Friday but I always considered myself a Monday ticker change because I knew I ovulated on a Monday. I don't know where I fit in anymore!

29w ftm boy

Getting a lot of pelvic pain, especially when I spread my legs. Also lower belly fullness/pressure and backaches. It's going to be a loooong 11 weeks at this rate. Also his movements seem smaller and/or less frequent. I think it's just how hes positioned the past few days. I still can see and feel the ones that come out near my ribcage.

Awaiting results of my 3 hour glucose test. Pretty convinced I failed.

My sister got to feel the baby kick yesterday and the look of disgust on her face was priceless.

carolyngrace, +1 with being super thirsty at night before bed. It makes for a rough night.
wormgerm, We happily welcome you with open arms to Monday

[megd893]

1) Today is 29 weeks for me and the acorn squash boy!

2) I'm reading a lot of the same as what I'm feeling. Super thirsty, difficulty sleeping, and pain in my ribcage (have had this for months now). Also, starting to notice some weight gain in my face.

3) Next appointment is a week tomorrow. I'm into my two week checkups so it'll be my 30 week! craaaazy....

4) Last week we got wonderful news at our appointment. The boy was in the 99th percentile for size (meaning he was over 3lbs at 28 weeks!) and the doctor literally called him "a robust monster baby". He'd actually like to see him slow down a little in growth! This meant we could go to Florida - if we were insured. After three different companies - we found out I was insured (even for delivery)! However, IF Leo came, he was not insured. My wife and I decided, for a singular trip to Florida... it wasn't worth it. It's been a wonderful lesson in counting my blessings. I was disappointed in not being able to get away, however I was worried about Leo's growth since finding out about my placental complication. I got everything I've been praying for. A big, healthy, growing boy. What more could I seriously ask for?

1) 31 weeks, FTM, Team Pink

2) Symptoms/ Questions/ Concerns - Yesterday was awful. I woke up feeling like I had eaten Thanksgiving dinner and couldn't get comfortable all day. Baby girl was super active all day and that didn't help. I LOVE feeling her move but by the end of the day I had had enough. Had BH ALL DAMN DAY. Became concerning at a couple points. Feeling much better today. Probably just need to poop..

3) Upcoming Appointments - q2wk regular appt Wednesday. Should be unevetful.

4) GTKY: Share something positive that happened over the course of last week or this past weekend. - My SIL had her baby girl yesterday (FIVE days late)!! Can't wait to go back home this weekend for my shower to meet and snuggle her. Anyone have a good gift idea for a new mom??

What about a season of a show she might like to watch?

@pcrunk, Yay for getting the car seat! I'm guilty of registry peeping too.
michyme123, Ahh- I love a good clean home, especially after a nasty winter.
megd893, I'm so happy you got a positive report from the ultrasound! I was actually thinking about you because I remember you mentioning the ultrasound at last week's check-in.
@bubbs119, I'm not sure if you live close to or far from your SIL, but I always take some kind of food.
Bluedaisy, hope the heartburn lets up a bit for you, but still hoping for a baby with a head full of hair.

31 weeks! Team green, STM.

I'm generally lucky that I only usually get up once a night to pee, but it's generally really uncomfortable. I feel a lot of pressure and discomfort when my bladder gets too full. Can also add me to the pelvic pain, starting to get tired faster doing regular things. Random bursts of heartburn. Lots and lots of big movement lately!

Next appointment is this Thursday, the 9th for my 32 week and will start bi weekly!

This past week I was cuddling on the couch with DS and he decided he wanted to look at my belly. He flipped my shirt up, gave it a hug and a kiss, and I told him that's really sweet and the baby loves him too but they can't hug or kiss him yet, and that I also really love him too. He looked at me, looked back at my belly, leaned into my belly button and yelled 'I LALALA!' (I love you) and then quietly said 'nigh nigh!) and brought my shirt back down again. He's just so much more attentive to the things I'm telling him about baby than I thought he would be (he's 21 months) and it melts me every time

1) 32 weeks, TTM, team blue. Squash/Bok Choy. I keep up with this because my 2 older kids ask daily. They love the comparisons

2) Puking again, which sucks because I've been trying to limit my zofran intake (because I like being able to poop, and those damn pills are expensive). Extra strength bitchy (poor DH). So frickin excited to have the baby and feel like myself again!

3) Tomorrow's routine appt is with the nurse that I very much dislike.

4) I got a couple hundred strawberries planted, and accomplished a ton of the farm and garden chores on my to do list (jumps on the "Overdoing It bandwagon)!

Gassy...peed myself today...tired...heartburn

3) Upcoming Appointments

Tomorrow morning routine check up.

4) GTKY: Share something positive that happened over the course of last week or this past weekend.

We purged all the crap on our first floor. So the basement is set, first floor is set...now on to the bedrooms! And we picked our daycare lady so that's a bonus. I'm too tired for much of anything else.

[ombradellarosa]

1) FTM 32 weeks with a girl. Squash baby! Hee the Bump squash picture is so cute, it looks like a candy pumpkin.

2) Symptoms/ Questions/ Concerns: Ugh. All of the symptoms this week. I can't get comfortable on the couch today because baby's feet are in my ribs. And her head is definitely down, and she keeps punching me or something so lightning crotch is happening. Last night I got such bad RLP that I had to hobble out of my parents' house leaning on my husband. Not even sure what caused it, it seemed to come out of nowhere. My ribs are aching all the time--I am uncomfortably aware of how many of my organs are crammed in there. This morning I was sick again for the first time in weeks It was very discouraging. Also, not sure if I mentioned this before but that second trimester energy definitely kicked in. It was late, but it showed up. I know because it is GONE now. I'm so tired. I'm taking multiple naps some days.

3) Upcoming Appointments: Next Thursday I'll see the OB who will be delivering me for the first time since my second appointment. I plan to ask him all my delivery questions then, but I'm not very prepared yet. Fortunately, I am feeling less stressed about labour and delivery and overall than I have been, so that's good.

4) GTKY: Share something positive that happened over the course of last week or this past weekend. I have been kicking butt on getting ready for baby! The nursery is almost clear and ready to be dedicated to baby. That makes me really happy and relieved, because it's something I'd been worried about.
