1. How many weeks are you?/How big is baby? (Fruit/Veggie) 31 weeks, a freaking pineapple

2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments?  Everything hurts, I feel like Violet from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.  I am craving the awesome cookies that a former co-worker dropped off our office, but gd gd is keeping from them .  I have had high numbers even with the new dosage of medicine.

3. GTKY:  Besides the Bump, what website do you use often for personal entertainment?  Pinterest and The Bloggess but not too much since O14 came into my life.

1. How many weeks are you?/How big is baby? (Fruit/Veggie)  30 weeks, so a cucumber.  I am hoping that they are referring to an standard English cucumber in terms of length.  

2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments?  MFM appointment on Friday and then 30 week check on Monday (with the rotational schedule of OBs in the practice - I can't wait to go back to my OB).  

One of DH's co-workers (and friends) just finished her 1st trimester and commented about waddling starting.  DH informed her that until I waddle, she isn't allowed to.  

3. GTKY:  Besides the Bump, what website do you use often for personal entertainment?  Facebook and various news sites.

1. How many weeks are you?/How big is baby? (Fruit/Veggie) 29 weeks, acorn squash

2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments? Mmm, my back is hurting a bit right now, but other than that I still feel good! STILL no cravings.  Is it ridiculous that I wish I'd have at least one? I want to know what it's like to want/need some type of food so bad! LOL. No appointments this week, and no REAL rants, except I really don't like my new SIL (as everyone knows), but on that note, how long do you think it is appropriate to make people wait for Thank-you's?

3. GTKY: Besides the Bump, what website do you use often for personal entertainment? Mostly just Facebook, sometimes I use Pintrest, but not soo much lately.

1. How many weeks are you?/How big is baby? 29w acorn squash

2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments? I have an appointment next Tuesday.  They're going to check my BP again, but I really feel comfortable that my 138/86 reading was a fluke.  I check my BP almost daily now, and I haven't gotten higher than 124/70.  The more I think about it, the more I am annoyed that after one elevated reading, the OB wants to talk induction.

Also, Solomon hasn't been as active as he usually is, which scares the crap out of me.  I do the kick counts, and I definitely get 10 in 2 hours, but his movements are soft and less intense.  I woke up at 2 this morning and decided that he needed to kick me, right then, so I paced the living room, ate a PB sandwich, and chugged a cold root beer.  At 2am.  

3. GTKY:  Besides the Bump, what website do you use often for personal entertainment? I check Buzzfeed on my lunch break religiously.

In regards to Thank -Yous, I always tried to get them out within a month for a large group or two weeks for a small group.  Then again, I also drafted DH in writing his family Thank you notes when we got married (I wrote all of them for the showers).

Hopefully he is just laid back!

I know that as they get bigger, they have less room, so I am trying to not freak out.  He's been kicking pretty solidly for the last 20+ minutes, so I feel better at this point.  He was just taking some lazy days, I guess!  Growing is hard stuff, yo.

I hear you!  I just called my OB's office because I have had a pain in my knee since Thursday and they told me to come in.  I am pretty certain it is nothing but I just want to make sure.  I feel so dramatic because if I wasn't knocked up it would be a non-issue.

1. How many weeks are you?/How big is baby? (Fruit/Veggie) 28 weeks!!!!  My little fish is the size of an eggplant!

 

2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments? sleep still sucks.  No energy.  I am actually looking forward to having barbecue chicken tonight!  That's kind of exciting, I haven't wanted to eat anything meat like for MONTHS!  Oh and corn on the cob - grilled. 

3. GTKY: Besides the Bump, what website do you use often for personal entertainment? Facebook, aol entertainment, my registries, and iheartradio.com.  How else am I going to make it through the work day?

30 weeks, cucumber.

I set up my twice weekly NSTs at my appointment on Tuesday. I also found out that I have a little anemia, so I've added an iron supplement and am replacing more of my dinner and nighttime carbs with prunes, which I think are a good source of iron themselves in addition to counteracting the side effects of the supplement. I need to make myself some prune-sweetened ice cream for a little variety.

I'm on FB a lot (I belong to several closed health and fitness groups), and in the past week I've become obsessed with our registries.
