Weeks? Food/Fruit? 35 weeks (holy cow, when did that happen?!), coconut.

Any appointments or updates? Not until next week.

Rants/Raves? Rant: I'm planning to make a gigantic grocery shopping trip this morning to stock up on food for the next month, and I really don't want to go. Pushing the cart makes my hips hurt now, I have to drag the boys into at least two different stores, and I just don't like grocery shopping to begin with. But, I'm going anyway because my nesting involves a fully stocked kitchen!
Rave: I slept 9 hours last night, and it was amazing! Only three wake-ups to pee...

What is one "taboo" thing that you've done during this pregnancy? Does eating soft serve ice cream/frozen yogurt count? Because I sure haven't stopped! And, I've eaten lunch meat a few times. I mean, I'm pretty crazy....

Are you traveling or hosting Thanksgiving? (or skipping it all together?). We're going to my parents' house, which is only like 5 minutes from ours.

UberBiz

Weeks? Food/Fruit? 34w, butternut squash

Any appointments or updates?  Next appointment is Dec. 5.

Rants/Raves? I am just so exhausted, that pretty much takes over all my rants and raves.

What is one "taboo" thing that you've done during this pregnancy? Uhmmm, I've probably exceeded the caffeine limit MANY many times, and I don't hesitate to eat hot dogs or lunch meat.

Are you traveling or hosting Thanksgiving? (or skipping it all together? We are having our own Thanksgiving this year and not going anywhere. Keeping it quiet and simple.

Weeks? Food/Fruit? 31, pineapple

Any appointments or updates? Not really, but the baby belly has been a lot more crampy and stabby lately, so that's not awesome.

Rants/Raves? Sleep is not going well lately. I've been waking up to turn over because one or the other leg is feeling dead almost 10-15 times a night. Grumble. Even worse, I think my moving around so much is messing with DH's sleep and he's so busy with work and studying for his CFA lately that that's a really big deal. Neither of us sleeps as well if we're not in the same bed though, so I have no solution.

What is one "taboo" thing that you've done during this pregnancy? A couple times I've had these really awesome (cold) roast beef subs from my favorite sub shop. They slice the cold cuts right before they make the sandwich, so I vote it doesn't have time to get all icky and bacteria-y... right? Solid logic, me. I guess I haven't done too many "taboo" things. I'm such a worrier that eating things that I've been told are no-nos for pregnancy would cause me too much anxiety for me to even really enjoy them, so it wouldn't be fun.

Are you traveling or hosting Thanksgiving? (or skipping it all together?) We had Thanksgiving at my parents' house last night, which my mom hosted, and then we're flying to Palm Springs tomorrow night to spend the week out there with DH's parents and grandparents. We live in Boston and I'm already sick of the cold, so I can't wait to wear a swimsuit and a sundress again.

Weeks? Food/Fruit? Week 31/pineapple

Any appointments or updates? I had a 3D/4D ultrasound last week (swoon!) and we had maternity pics taken on the weekend. I hope we get a couple of good pictures out of it. 

Rants/Raves? Pregnancy related? Not really. I think things are pretty typical for me right now so far as symptoms, discomfort etc... 

What is one "taboo" thing that you've done during this pregnancy? I drink diet coke regularly. I've had sandwich meat a few times. I don't really worry about it, though...

Are you traveling or hosting Thanksgiving? (or skipping it all together?) I'm neither traveling nor hosting. We'll have T'giving dinner with my in-laws who live in the same city as us. We see them regularly.

31/Pineapple

Any appointments or updates? 

My last appointment my BP was still elevated and I was having problems with headaches. If the headache didn't go away they wanted me to go to the hospital, but with some water and Tylenol it thankful resolved itself.  Looks like I'm having issues staying hydrated.  Next appt is a week from today.

Rants/Raves?

Rant - My carpal tunnel pain has hit a whole new level.  At this rate I'm going to have to cancel the fishing portion of our upcoming trip.  I couldn't even do my hair this morning because of it.  On top of it I'm also having tarsal tunnel pain and the worst TMJ pain I've ever had.  It's really really difficult and frustrating.

Rave - DH decided to clean the house yesterday and didn't even get mad when I told him I didn't feel up to helping.  I did help with the dishes, but he did a bunch of work while I got to lay around and relax.  Today also starts my last week of work which I'm excited for!  

What is one "taboo" thing that you've done during this pregnancy? 

One?  Lol.  I'm a bit of a rule breaker.  I've had deli meat, sushi, the occasional alcoholic beverage, soft cheese, coffee.

Are you traveling or hosting Thanksgiving? (or skipping it all together?)

I don't celebrate Thanksgiving.  DH and I both have off work so we'll probably just hang out or something.

31 weeks. Squash.

Had an appt last Monday. Don't go again until next Monday, then start my weekly mfm appts next week too.

My back and hips are hurting. I usually have allot of energy, but this week I'm tired! It comes at a bad time since family is coming tomorrow and I've got a house to prepare for. I've spent entirely too much money on Thanksgiving. Next year I will not host for this many. Lesson learned.
I'm glad I'm not nesting (yet) I think I'd go crazy adding that on top of everything else. Plus it's kinda nice not having to worry about getting everything 'prefect' for the babies arrival.

I'm a rebel. I've eaten several cold turkey sandwiches. I've had wine. I haven't taken prenatals. I drink tea and coffee.

Hosting! 15 people! It'll be a big feast for sure. I can't wait for all the food!

Edvent

Weeks? Food/Fruit? 31/pineapple

Any appointments or updates? I go back next Thursday.

Rants/Raves? I'm finally getting over my sinus infection/chest congestion/asthma, thanks to antibiotics and prednisone... now I have another yeast infection (no doubt courtesy of the antibiotics). I've only had 1 in my life before this pregnancy and I've had 3 since I've been pregnant... what gives!!

What is one "taboo" thing that you've done during this pregnancy? I eat lunch meat several times a week (now this has me thinking I was Jimmy Johns for lunch), and I split a beer with DH. 

Are you traveling or hosting Thanksgiving? (or skipping it all together?) It's just my immediate family this year (DH, MIL, and DD) but I'm going to cook a few dishes. We already shopped and DH is really excited about it. Plus we'll have lots of leftovers for the weekend!

None this week - last appointment was good, and everything is going fine and normal.

Deli meats, medium rare steak, runny egg yolks, occasional coffee and wine. Oh, you said one - oops.

Are you traveling or hosting Thanksgiving? (or skipping it all together?)
Traveling to my parents and ILs - about 5-6 hours of driving if you count the round-trips. We'll be gone Thurs - Sun.

I leave my prenatals sitting out on the coffee table or counter to try to help me remember, and I still only take them probably every other day.

Had my appt today and I am going to be tested for preeclampsia. I've been swelling, getting headaches and rapid weight gain. I don't have high bp but apparently you can have preeclampsia without any symptoms so we shall see what my lovely 24 hr urine sample tells us...

Rants/raves
Not really besides the swelling making my toes hurt lol

What is the one "taboo"thing you've done during pregnancy?
Drink coffee. But I keep it to one 8 oz cup and only a couple days a week!

Hosting or traveling for thanksgiving?
Hosting this year
