Week? Fruit/Veggies?

28 weeks today. Hooray for 3rd tri!!!

How are you feeling? New or weird symptoms?

Still itchy, especially my head, and my hair is still brittle and breaking. But overall feeling good.

Upcoming appointments? Updates?

Had another fFN on Friday which came back negative (hooray!!) and got my Rhogam shot on Tuesday. Next appointment is in 2 weeks.

Rants/Raves?

Raves: My husband is awesome, and I love him so much. He always knows how to make me feel better when I'm at my lowest, and is just a wonderful person and father. I love watching him play with DS1; I loved his instant bond and love for Eleanor, and I'm looking forward to seeing him bond sand grow with the new baby. He gets this amazing look on his face each time one of our children is born, where you can just see the love and pride and joy.

GTKY: What of the pregnancy no-nos are you most looking forward to resuming after baby arrives? (Booze, sushi, certain exercise, etc.)

It's hard to tell. I miss an occasional glass of wine, but I think I might miss sushi more. I manage on cooked rolls for now, but I want my spicy tuna and raw salmon back.

Week? Fruit/Veggies? 
26 weeks/head of lettuce

How are you feeling? New or weird symptoms? 
I'm feeling pretty good aside from the indigestion. 

Upcoming appointments? Updates?
My next appointment isn't until March 5th, glucose test...hoping I don't fail!  Then on to the bimonthly appointments, I'm looking forward to that!

Rants/Raves?
Rant: My tailbone freaking hurts BAD if I stand or walk around for more than 30 minutes...I broke it 15 years ago and had forgot about it until now! Oh well, it'll all be worth it.  
Rave: Signed up for hypnobabies yesterday! Exciting stuff.

GTKY: What of the pregnancy no-nos are you most looking forward to resuming after baby arrives? (Booze, sushi, certain exercise, etc.)
Probably just the occassional glass of wine with my DH or friends.

getitdone

Week? Fruit/Veggies? 29 weeks today - I am not sure what the fruit is

How are you feeling? New or weird symptoms? Feeling good - just hips hurting at night.

Upcoming appointments? Updates? Sitting here doing my 3 hour glucose right now

Rants/Raves? I don't mind the drink for the glucose test, but it left a bad taste in my mouth and all I want is a piece of gum!

GTKY: What of the pregnancy no-nos are you most looking forward to resuming after baby arrives? (Booze, sushi, certain exercise, etc.) I can't think of one

Kris2011RN

Week? Fruit/Veggies? 28, I dont know what vegetable I am.

How are you feeling? New or weird symptoms? Still have morning sickness. I also have this sharp pain in my groin, as if I over stretched it. It comes and goes so I think she is just sitting on a nerve from time to time.

Upcoming appointments? Updates? I passed my glucose test, I am anemic, the f/u u/s was good.

Rants/Raves? I have my peer interview with lactation today, I am really nervous.

GTKY: What of the pregnancy no-nos are you most looking forward to resuming after baby arrives? (Booze, sushi, certain exercise, etc.)Booze, I want a dirty martini!

sheriot

Week? Fruit/Veggies?

29 weeks, oversized squash

How are you feeling? New or weird symptoms?

I'm feeling huge. Itchy all the time, first stretched skin around my belly button appeared last week. Indigestion is way worse.

Upcoming appointments? Updates?

GTT yesterday, wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I have another one in two weeks, when I will get the TDaP shot. I'm still measuring two weeks ahead. If that is still the case a month from now, they'll do a u/s to make sure everything is ok.

Rants/Raves?

Raves: H doted on me all afternoon after my GTT yesterday. AND we had sex. Score.

Rant: Ready to move out of ILs house. Like, now.

GTKY: What of the pregnancy no-nos are you most looking forward to resuming after baby arrives? (Booze, sushi, certain exercise, etc.)

Welp, I've had the occasional glass of wine/beer. So I don't really miss that or the cheeses I'm not supposed to eat...eating those, too. I miss raw sushi. That will definitely be one of my first meals pp!

cchild101010

Week: 28, rutabaga (whatever that is)

How are you feeling: overall pretty good. Two nights ago I had severe cramping during the night so I slept like crap which made me really tired yesterday but that's it.

Upcoming appointments: I see my regular doctor today and my high risk specialist in two weeks. Hopeful we get to see baby today at the appointment. I also have a ton of questions this appointment and should hear the results from my 1 hr glucose I did on Monday.

Rants/raves: DH TOTALLY stepped up and helped me out yesterday so I could sleep before going to work. He works like 60 hrs/week so I usually try to do everything around the house. He was sooo sweet.

GTKY: provided nothing goes wrong pregnancy wise, my last day of training and riding my horse will be march 15 so I will for sure be looking forward to riding again and I miss tanning in the tanning bed (which I know is terrible but I'm so pale)

Mittens14

Week? Fruit/Veggies? 27 weeks, rutabega.  I'm 27 weeks but only 12 weeks to go since I'm a RCS   Can't wait to meet our baby girl!

How are you feeling? New or weird symptoms?  Feel fine, just tired.

Upcoming appointments? Updates?  GTT test was yesterday.  My next doctors appointment is on Monday.  It's been pretty uneventful since 1st Tri.  THANK GOD!!!

Rants/Raves?  No rants, but I'm a little bummed... I did have the opportunity to go to LA for a week in March, but the doctor won't approve me flying from NY to LA at 32 weeks pregnant.  Oh well...

Rave, we moved into our new house a week and a half ago and we are completely unpacked and will be finishing DD's room this week.  We focused on DS's room before moving into the house so it was ready for him, all that's left is the nursery

GTKY: What of the pregnancy no-nos are you most looking forward to resuming after baby arrives? I need a drink BIG TIME.  With moving and work things have been really stressful, so I'm really looking forward to drinking lol!  Bought a bottle of Veuve to bust open after the hospital   I'd have a drink now but the heartburn has been bad lately and I think drinking will just make that worse.  I'm also really wanting a nice sushi meal, but won't wait till after the baby for that, DH and I have a date to go 2 weeks from tomorrow

megmegs

Week? Fruit/Veggies? 30 weeks! No idea what fruit/veggie that is.

How are you feeling? I'm tired like I was in first tri, but other than that, feeling pretty well.

Upcoming appointments? Updates? I had my third follow-up U/S and the cyst on LO's brain has disappeared. There's still a small echogenic focus on the heart, but they said that it's shrinking, and is nothing to worry about.

Rants/Raves? Can there really be only 10 weeks left? It seems like so little time! I told DH to bring a milkshake or something home with him today after work, as he's probably going to have to counteract some sort of "we're not ready!" meltdown tonight.

GTKY: What of the pregnancy no-nos are you most looking forward to resuming after baby arrives? I want to be allowed to run a 5k and be met at the finish line with a jacuzzi, ice-cold hard cider, and a huge plate of tuna sashimi. I don't think that's too much to ask, right?

Edited because spelling is hard.

mrstengallonhat1

Week? Fruit/Veggies? 29 weeks - squash

How are you feeling? New or weird symptoms? I have a cold, so I'm feeling really whiny and annoying.  I hate being congested and this incessant migraine really isn't helping.  Not to mention I'm back at work after being home on the couch for 2 days but am still not feeling any better. 

Upcoming appointments? Updates? Passed my GTT and had a 4d ultrasound.  It was so cool seeing our girl move around - she already looks so much like my DH.  I'm in love with her little face!  Next appt is in March.

Rants/Raves? Rant: I'm sick and can't really take anything to make me feel better.  Rave: Today is my grandfather's birthday, so I will be eating cake tonight.

GTKY: What of the pregnancy no-nos are you most looking forward to resuming after baby arrives? (Booze, sushi, certain exercise, etc.) All of the above.  I can't wait to have a Blue Moon, spicy tuna roll and an Italian sub post-baby.  I also really look forward to going back to hot yoga.

It's Thursday, ladies!!!

Week? Fruit/Veggies? 28/eggplant

How are you feeling? New or weird symptoms? overall, feeling pretty good - getting bigger and more uncomfortable. Had my first bout of heartburn on Saturday - luckily I haven't had it since so hoping it stays away.

Upcoming appointments? Updates? Had my GTT this week and passed (YAY)... next appointment is in 2 weeks (changed from montly to bi-monthly appointments)

Rants/Raves? Things are coming together on our move...offer accepted on a new place, current house going on the market tonight, I'll be moving up in less than 2 weeks - there's a light at the end of the tunnel! And the weather has been really nice the past 2 days - that always helps.

GTKY: What of the pregnancy no-nos are you most looking forward to resuming after baby arrives? (Booze, sushi, certain exercise, etc.) Sushi - I really miss sushi. And I'm looking forward to not having to worry about every little thing that I do, don't do, etc etc.

Ladiebug30

@gertiebarden I'm glad you took this over. I posted it once and then got distracted. It's nice to have a check in! :-)

Week? Fruit/Veggies? 28 weeks - eggplant

How are you feeling? New or weird symptoms? Feeling pretty good. I've been having some slight tingling/numbness in my fingers/hands over the past few weeks. Annoying.

Upcoming appointments? Updates? Check up on Monday. Also an ultrasound to get a face profile. Hopefully I can also find out if little bit is a girl or boy!

Rants/Raves? 

Raves: I've got to go with the DH raves. I've been super emotional lately and he has been so sweet. He brought me a butterfinger yesterday just because.

Rants: DS woke up at 1:15 am and didn't go back to sleep until 4. No big deal but he had his 18month check up today so we couldn't sleep in! Waaaaahhhh!

GTKY: What of the pregnancy no-nos are you most looking forward to resuming after baby arrives? (Booze, sushi, certain exercise, etc.)

I never drank or ate sushi before baby, but with this cold I've got going on ... what I wouldn't give for some good cold medicine!

jfletcher3113

Week? Fruit/Veggies? 29 - squash!

How are you feeling? New or weird symptoms? I feel good! I am starting to notice the weight more when I work out and getting off the couch can be ... um... interesting.

Upcoming appointments? Updates? We have birthing class tonight and my next appointment is in two weeks.

Rants/Raves? I have GD and since I've been on the diet, my weight gain has majorly stalled. The doctors aren't quiet worried yet but said if I don't start packing it on, steroids may be in my future. I'm hoping to avoid that!

GTKY: What of the pregnancy no-nos are you most looking forward to resuming after baby arrives? (Booze, sushi, certain exercise, etc.)Oh my god, wine! I cannot wait to have my wine again. And I can't wait until I can do handstands and headstands at yoga again. Those two things.

mmks

Week? 27 Fruit/Veggies? Rutabega

How are you feeling? New or weird symptoms? Pregnancy-wise I'm feeling great

Upcoming appointments? Updates? Had a great appt with an awesome 3D pic on Monday.  Nothing upcoming though

Rants? I have the worst cough and I've pulled a muscle in my side from all the coughing, so now it hurts too much to cough.  Plus my toddler caught my cough, bleh! Raves? The sale of our condo should be final tomorrow!  Will be glad to not own 2 homes.

GTKY: What of the pregnancy no-nos are you most looking forward to resuming after baby arrives? Well, I don't eat meat, still have the occasional glass of wine, and don't mind the cooked sushi rolls, and didn't really exercise before I was pregs...maybe just looking forward to cuddling with my kiddos w/o a big belly in the way!

daizijayne

Week? Fruit/Veggies?  29 weeks!  Which means baby is an acorn squash. 
(Edited to include the correct food)

How are you feeling? New or weird symptoms?  Nothing new going on.  Feeling good for the most part, though my back/hips still flare up most days.  Need to make time to find a good place for therapeutic massage so my mw can write a referral.

Upcoming appointments? Updates?  Passed my GTT last week!  My sweet tooth and I are very grateful for that.  My next appointment isn't until March 14th.

Rants/Raves?  Rant, totally NBR:  I was supposed to take a professional licensing exam before this LO arrives.  I have been studying and attending a review course regularly.  Today I find out I am ineligible because I missed a step in my application process, thanks in part to a poorly worded state website. There are a number of personal factors at play, but basically I won't be able to test again until 2017.  Mad doesn't even begin to describe it. 

GTKY: What of the pregnancy no-nos are you most looking forward to resuming after baby arrives? (Booze, sushi, certain exercise, etc.)  After a couple crappy days this week, I wish I could drink!  A couple glasses of wine have sounded so nice.  I am also craving sushi, but I plan to do that as soon as we can make time to hit up the nice place down the street.

@daizijayne That's terrible about the exam!

drjwj

Week? Fruit/Veggies?  28 weeks!  Third trimester!  Eggplant or chihuahua

How are you feeling? New or weird symptoms?  This heartburn is getting out of control!  I couldn't sleep last night even propped up without feeling like gagging, even with tums!  Starting to get more tired again too…maybe from the not sleeping!

Upcoming appointments? Updates?  Had my appointment yesterday.  Still waiting on results from GTT but had an ultrasound and got to see baby!  She has really long legs that were stretched up over her head!  Did not look comfortable!  There is a little membrane that the doc wants to keep an eye on.  Hopefully nothing but he's going to get another u/s in 5-6 weeks.

Rants/Raves?  Just flew home yesterday for my first baby shower!   Excited doesn't even begin to describe it!  Rants: We still don't know where my husband is getting stationed this summer and I am bummed to not have any kind of nursery set up since we will be moving when she is only 6 weeks old or so.

GTKY: What of the pregnancy no-nos are you most looking forward to resuming after baby arrives? (Booze, sushi, certain exercise, etc.):  Good question!  I haven't missed sushi even though I usually love it.  I just haven't wanted it since being pregnant.  There are days I get home from work and definitely want a glass of wine or something stronger.  One of my friends got me non-alchoholic wine and it is no good!

Aw, thanks.  I am still really frustrated about the situation but am starting to see the bright side.  Now I don't feel quite so panicked about all the baby-related things I would like to do in the next 10 weeks. 

Also, sorry for the late reply.  We went away for a long weekend and I watch a friend's little girl on Mondays.  I am just now beginning to catch up.
