I'm not big on resolutions, however this year I want to stay healthy and get back to my reg. fitness workouts post baby. I did well going to the gym etc. until July, that 1st trimester kicked my ass!

How far along are you (weeks)?: 31 weeks

What fruit/veggie/inanimate object?: Pineapple, which is definitely making me crave pineapple.

Any upcoming appointments?: My next is Jan 12, i believe.

Updates/Rants/Raves/AW Moments?: I've still been having a lot of pain in my ribs, but I'm hoping it will go away within the next few weeks as little girl starts to drop. Also, we've narrowed down our names to a top 3 (4 technically because of an alternate mn) and I think these will be the names we take to the hospital with us to decide between when we meet her! I'm so happy cause it has been such a long process since we have such a hard time agreeing on names. Oh, and I'm ordering some stuff from etsy today to decorate her nursery with. yay!

GTKY: New Year resolutions anyone? How well did you do on your resolution last year? I don't usually do resolutions, but for this year my goal is for dh and I to work on being more financially stable. Not that we aren't already, but just keep better track of how much we spend on stuff we don't need, and then try to eliminate that spending.

@mamajack86 Yes I definitely want to get back to going to the gym too, at least a few times a week. We started going right before I got my BFP, and then there was a few weeks where I just felt like crap and I haven't been back since.

How far along are you (weeks)?: 28 weeks

What fruit/veggie/inanimate object?: eggplant

Any upcoming appointments?: Glucose test tomorrow

Updates/Rants/Raves/AW Moments?: I'm annoyed that I'm not going to be able to tour the hospital before giving birth. I tried to schedule a tour, but they have all been cancelled through March due to concerns about the flu. There's a virtual tour online, but it's not the same. I have not delivered at this hospital before and I have no idea where to go when the time comes. Ugh. I'm frustrated.

GTKY: New Year resolutions anyone? How well did you do on your resolution last year? I don't have a lot of energy to put any more effort into pretty much anything, but I really need to stop using such bad language at home in front of DS. He is learning to talk and we are going to get ourselves in trouble if we aren't careful.

How far along are you (weeks)?: 28 Weeks/eggplant

Any upcoming appointments?: I should go in tomorrow to get my antibody test/rhogam shot.

Updates/Rants/Raves/AW Moments?: I'm finally feeling human. I've been sick with a different cold/virus for the entire month of December. I still have a cough but it seems like it will go away eventually as opposed to never. I cancelled my holiday trip and have been a lump for the past week and a half.

GTKY: New Year resolutions anyone? How well did you do on your resolution last year? I'm trying to be more social this year. I tend to be a bit of a hermit and even coming out from lurkdom is difficult. Hi! Last year was the first year my New Year's resolution was a fail. I was supposed to knit an hour a week and I still haven't finished this dress for my daughter. I'm afraid she's already grown out of it. And I'm team green so it may never work for this little one.

How far along are you (weeks)?:

What fruit/veggie/inanimate object?:
Acorn squash

Any upcoming appointments?:
Nothing this week

Updates/Rants/Raves/AW Moments?:
I feel like in the last 2 wks my body has just gone to sh*t. My back aches and spasms at night, heartburn has become a daily thing, swelling is getting worse in my fingers, etc. It's b/c I ate basically junk throughout Christmas and had a big weight gain so it's totally my doing but ugh, it's going to be a long 11 weeks if I don't get it together.

GTKY: New Year resolutions anyone? How well did you do on your resolution last year?
I want to be more conscious of my eating, water consumption and exercise. I don't think I made any resolutions last year :-)

cygnet15

How far along are you (weeks)?: 31 weeks/pineapple. Having a single digit number of weeks remaining is really exciting, but also freaking me out

Any upcoming appointments?: Sometime next week (I have to reschedule) I'll have an ultrasound to check on growth because of my hypothyroidism. I know my TSH numbers have been steadily perfect for more than 2 months, and I'm seeing definite growth and lots of activity, so I'm not worried--more just excited I get to see my girl again.

Updates/Rants/Raves/AW Moments?: It probably has a lot to do with the amount of lazing around I've been able to do over this winter break, but this kid's movement is off the charts right now. I'm getting kicked and prodded all day long. I've been through the worry of disturbingly quiet days before, so don't think I'm not happy as a clam about this. But at the same time I have gotten to the point of walking her around the house, trying to get her to go to sleep just so I can get a break!

GTKY: New Year resolutions anyone? How well did you do on your resolution last year? I feel like I have more post-pregnancy resolutions than new year's resolutions. Soon after the start of third tri I finally had to give up bike commuting when it got too exhausting. I know I'll have plenty of new priorities, but my body longs to be able to really work out again. Late pregnancy is a little like having a mild physical disability, and I find myself putting real thought into the ways I plan to enjoy the gift of my full physical range once I have it back again.
