Rant/Rave/Symptoms: Rant: I'm a veterinarian so a large part of my day is spent dealing with poorly behaved animals - If I tell you your pet needs a muzzle for me to perform and exam or treatments please don't argue with me. If one more person tells me their dog doesn't bite right after it lunged at my face I am going to walk out and never come back. We keep records, your pet's file is marked as a biter from previous encounters so we may ask you to put a muzzle on immediately. No I'm not afraid of your dog, no it doesn't hurt your dog, no its not cruel - I just don't want to go to the hospital today or have a tech out on workers comp because you think you know more than me. Symptoms: Yesterday I started with ankle swelling, they weren't painful but when I took my shoes off when I got home I was just surprised - these aren't my ankles, my body has betrayed me!
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Just got our nursery furniture delivered this week!

GTKY: Share one of your favorite candid photos of you and your SO, and tell us why you love it so much. This was taken when we were 18 year old, now we are 30 and starting a whole new stage of our lives. Who knew then that we would end up here.
Everyone looks so cute in these photos! I've had this weird association with everyone's username and the terrible maternity photos so it's nice to replace that mental image.
How far along are you? 26 weeks and 2 days
Rant/Rave/Symptoms: Feeling decent. Still not sleeping great and my energy is definitely waning, but trying not to be a couch potato. I definitely need to start eating better, which I'm sure will help my energy too.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? So. many. house. projects.

Here's a good one from our wedding day--we were waiting to walk down the aisle (we decided to walk down together) and got caught peeking to see who was there and what the ceremony site looked like. That's probably the only photo we have of our wedding planner, who was the one of the best things about my day. Seriously, we aren't even close to rich but I would recommend a wedding planner to everyone. She just made the day so stress-free. And for good measure, I've included a fun selfie we took at like 3am after the festivities.
I am LOVING all these pics! Totally skipping the rest of the questions so I can share my own, even though I have almost nothing of the two of us on my phone.
This is us last year at an amazeballs pizza place during our kid-free weekend. It's not candid, but we had just gone through the most difficult year of our lives and were so happy to have gotten through it with our marriage a million times stronger than before (not that it was bad).
Rant/Rave/Symptoms: Symptoms/rant!: Really sore hips especially my left hip I think maybe because she hugs my left side of my body. Its awful! Rave: Love watching my belly move when she is moving/kicking! But I try to take videos on my phone and you can't really tell too well
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Not much right now just staying healthy.
Questions? None today!
GTKY: Share one of your favorite candid photos of you and your SO, and tell us why you love it so much. My husband is an Active Duty Marine and this picture was taken when my husband got home from Afghanistan after a long 9 month deployment. It was probably the best moment in my life or among the top few. After months of not knowing if he would come home safely it was such a relief to have him back in my arms again.
