@clery: I'm not at full scale panic attack yet, but definitely getting more anxious when I think about how little time I actually have left -- 13 weeks is nothing!! It's compounded by going back to school in the beginning of September - that was my self-imposed deadline to get "everything" done and that's not going to happen now, hence the anxiety.

I'm sure with moving you have all kinds of additional stresses -- I think you'll feel way better once you're moved and can start organizing your life in a new place.

@clery: Yes, definitely having some anxiety issues. My psychologist recommended I try and jot down any notes I can when I feel the panic coming on like where I am, what I'm thinking about, etc. and see if we can find any patterns.

@clery: I was having some anxiety issues on Sunday and Monday, but it was pretty directly related to getting my three hour glucose results and a work situation. Both have since resolved and I'm feeling much better. I did some relaxation/meditation stuff on Sunday, but it didn't help too much.

@highwire Haha, yes yes and yes. The cervix kicks are my least favorite, it feels SO uncomfortable.

@highwire: yes. Butt kicks have been the norm since I started feeling her and i feel her hiccups always down there which is so weird . more recently it feels like she steps on my bladder because I feel like I have to pee really bad for about 5 seconds and then it goes away! Cervix kicks haven't been as common though.

@highwire: yea he said as long as it's not more than 5x an hour; and the usual no bleeding/extra discharge; that it's pretty normal for where I'm at for baby to be switching positions, uterus growth. Some women just feel it more than others. LUCKY me. He also said that it's digestive related for where I was having the pain!

OMG the kicks to the cervix and the butt are soooo weird and uncomfortable. I'll always complain to the hubs and he looks at me like I'm crazy. Listen dude, how about I let a 2 pound person kick you in the balls and see if it feels nice!!

Still no BH for me and I'm really hoping I'm one of those people who doesn't get them until the very end. I know they help prepare your body for real contractions but I think the worry they would cause me wouldn't be worth it.

No BH contractions for me either.

I did see the hiccups from the outside today! She does a lot of the rolling and turning movements now, so my belly moves in these wavy motions. It's a little weird, but I like it.

Also, I was walking along the other day with a full bladder and I sneezed and a little pee came out le sigh. Anyone else? I guess my Lack of kegel exercising has caught up with me. I was so sad and humbled.

@JessLC: oh pee leaks out of me way more often than I would like to admit.

@MamaMoose: haha, thank goodness there's someone in the same boat!

@JessLC: @MamaMoose: Um yeah on the pee leaking? I don't even realize it has happened until it is way too late. Major bummer lol.

@scg00387: Hope your scan goes well and that placenta has moved out of the way! I haven't had any issues with that. No bleeding at all the entire pregnancy either.

I'm not sure if the baby is going through a growth spurt or what, but I slept for 14 hours last night. I wasn't feeling super tired to begin with, but I laid down to read a book last night at 6:30 PM (The Birth Partner - really good!) and then it was suddenly morning....

@scg00387: hope everything is ok! let us know how it goes.

@highwire: haha, so cute!! its like she wanted your attention..."hey mom! look at me!" btw, how can you tell its her butt? i try to feel around, but my belly just feels hard all over, so i never know what position she is in.

ugh i'm starting to feel signs of uncomfortable-ness. lying on my left side makes my back hurt and after i eat, it is hard to breathe. i'm super grumpy today, as a result.

@JessLC: I actually have no idea if it was her butt...I'm just guessing! It just really felt like she was in downward dog position...it didn't feel round like a head and I'm not sure what other body part it could have been that was that large. It was the first time I've ever felt anything that specific as far as actual body parts poking out, so I am just taking a wild stab in the dark. LOL.

@mrsjyw: Have fun at your maternity shoot! I am still debating over whether or not to schedule this. Our wedding photographer does wonderful maternity/newborn sessions but she is pricey! And I can't find anyone else who's work I like and who provides the same stuff in their package.

@highwire @jesslc @mrsjyw thanks for the positivity! my scan came back normal, so I'm in the clear!

I just got a belly wedge pillow from amazon, so I'm helping it helps me sleep better - like others are saying, it is getting tougher! Here is to week 27!

@jesslc yes! checked him out and watched him punch my stomach LOL

I just got it today so no verdict yet.. but I think that is what it is supposed to do. I've been smooshing a blanket under my stomach because my lower back gets sore the same as yours - I got this one http://www.amazon.com/DEX-Products-Pregnancy-Pillow-PP-01/dp/B000056JC1/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1345844501&sr=8-2&keywords=pregnancy+wedge and am washing the cover right now!

@mrbee i don't get my @ notifications any more? is there a reason why?

I guess strangers can officially tell I am pregnant now. The cashier at Starbucks asked me when I was due last night. And for a split second I thought "How do you know I am pregnant you sneaky mind reader?" and then I realized I must finally look pregnant from the outside. Ha. Only took TWENTY SEVEN weeks.

@Mrs. Tricycle: oh man my boobs are out of control! I was a large c/small d to begin with and they have definitely grown. As of a couple days ago I had gained six pounds so far and I think half of that is in my boobs!

@highwire: I still haven't had anyone who didn't already know comment on my pregnancy and I'm 29.5 weeks right now. I never thought it would be like this. Being overweight I assumed that I'd look about 6 months pregnant from the very beginning, but that has not been the case. Oh well. Less unsolicited advice.

how's everybody doing/feeling?

@scg00387: how is the wedge working out??

I just started getting my ducks in a row for the baby...major procrastinator here. Bought some bedding that was on sale at Land of Nod, a polka dot rug, some prints for the walls and am debating about furniture (crib & dresser)....thinking will go with PBK since we have some gift cards there. Anyway, looking at gliders now...anybody have their gliders yet and any recs?
