Re: TTC Tuesday
How many weeks: 30 weeks! 10 more to go!
How are you feeling? Great when my back doesn't hurt.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? Nursery painted! Clothes have been sorted. So many clothes... She needs some pants but other than that we're good there. We got the stroller, carseat and pack and play this weekend too. Next weekend - furniture. I am in high nesting mode! Only 2 weeks until we get the stepkids... Then it's Aug. Ahhhhh!
ETA - I failed my 1 hour glucose the other week. Did the 3 hour 27 June. I'm taking no news yet is good news! WOOHOO! I'll confirm Friday at my appt.
Pregnant Girls:
How many weeks: 8w4d
How are you feeling? Blah. I'm really excited to have some energy back and not nauseous....that really happens in the 2nd Tri, right?!!!!
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? I am so tired I can't function! Ha I wish ppl knew so it didn't make me seem like such a slacker!
We have our first apt and U/S Friday!! I'm so excited and so nervous. I just pray every day that the little bean is still growing.
Pregnant Girls:
How many weeks: 19
How are you feeling? So crabby.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? I'm so irritable. Everyone is annoying th crap out of me. I'm so glad we only have a week before we find out the sex. If I get one more theory about how it's a girl or boy because of XYZ I will kick said individual in the shin.
MIL was at my house on Saturday to help paint the exterior of the house. We haven't done the trim yet so right now my house is green with pinkish trim, not pretty!! Anyway MIL kept asking me about baby stuff I've told her 1567484231648 times we aren't picking anything out until we know the sex. All I know is that we aren't repainting the room because it's the room DH proposed to me on the wall and you can still kind of see the proposal through the paint. I plan on doing a "You are my sunshine" theme, because the walls are yellow and that is also the inscription on DH's ring. Super meaningful.
Anyway, MIL walked into the future nursery to see the color of the room for ideas. Umm, WTF?! I got so mad, but was able to gently remind her that we will be picking out and registering for everything theme related in that room. It just annoys me because she really has the best intentions but steps on my toes a lot. She had two kids and got to do all that stuff, let DH and I get to be parents. I really wanted to scream at her.
How are you feeling? Overall, most of the time, pretty crappy! I'm always tired. The nausea comes and goes (more comes). Headaches, gas, lack of appetite for anything with nutritional value. But as long as the babies are doing well, it is ALL worth it.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? My OB is amazing. He called me yesterday to congratulate me and see how I was feeling. I have my first appointment with him Thursday and I really love that he went above and beyond and called me.

We're doing you are my sunshine too! My mom would sing it to me all the time growing up and my nickname was sunshine. My uncles would play it all the time with the banjo. Love!
But my mom got a bunch of jungle theme stuff for the room... It started with a quilt, mobile, and now decals. Idk how I'm going to incorporate it all with my suns and clouds!
How many weeks: 29 weeks tomorrow!
How are you feeling? Aside from being a little sleepy (from going into work early the last 2 days), I feel good!
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? H and I really need to get the spare bedroom cleaned out and prepared for all of the baby stuff. Our shower is on the 27th and I know we'll be getting some big stuff then, and we don't really have anywhere to put anything right now. When is the "nesting" urge supposed to kick in again? Ha ha!
Pregnant Girls:
How many weeks: 35 weeks
How are you feeling? Pretty decent. I'm hot, but it's 95 degrees here, so that's to be expected. My biggest complaint is the foot I constantly have in the left side of my rib cage. It hurts a lot.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? Last week I had a growth sonogram. Everything looks great, the baby is in position and pushing down on my cervix. The tech told me that I am very small and it makes getting measurements very easy for her. It made me feel good since I have been getting so many "You're huge" comments.
Today I began my weekly visits to the doctor. He said everything looks great and based on all of my scans, he's predicting an on time or close to on time delivery. I'm happy with that because the later the baby arrives, the less time we'll be cramped in the apartment before we can move into the house and the more school I will miss for maternity leave
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 3w and 5d (holy crap he's almost a month old!)
How do you feel? Exhausted.
Any Milestones this week? He will be a month old on Thursday!
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics?
I felt awesome from about 14 weeks on. I hope you get some relief soon!
Cycle/Month: 5
CD/DPO: CD 37/ IDK how many DPO
W2O or 2WW? 2ww
Testing plans: HPT on Thurs.
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: AF is a week late now, and I tested negative on a HPT yesterday. Obviously I ovulated later than I thought but I don't know when since I'm not charting or temping. I'm getting anxious for some sort of action though whether it be AF or a BFP!
How many weeks: 39 weeks tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
How are you feeling? DONE, DONE, & DONE!!!!!! I'm very much over being pregnant! My feet are swollen like water balloons and I can barely wear shoes. All the added pressure from the giant belly is KILLING my left knee to the point where I can barely walk. I'm limping every where and can barely stand. Oh did I mention I'm still working ! Last day is Friday but I'm hoping he comes before then! I'm looking forward to taking some pain killers or anti-inflammatory for this ridiculous knee!!
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? Drs appt in the AM and hoping there has been some dilation over the last week. Nothing last week and dr informed me that I have a small pelvic arch which basically means "baby will most likely get stuck and c-section is in your future after hours of labor"!
Can you all tell I'm a little crabby :-)
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? Will be five months this week
How do you feel? Lonely...DH is gone until Thursday night for work. Caleb and I are making do though.
Any Milestones this week? We bought a doorway jumper. He likes it a lot.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics?
30 weeks!

As long as someone thinks it's cute I'm good! I just get stiff when I sit for a long time.
