GTKY #1: What's your favorite kind of ice cream?
GTKY #2: How is nesting going?
Re: Saturday Ticker Change
I have a midwife appointment Monday, and at some point I need to get to a Target to get my TDaP. And tomorrow is our hospital tour!
I feel pretty good, beyond the normal aches and pains. He's definitely running out of room, and I feel bruised on the inside.
GTKY #1: What's your favorite kind of ice cream? Lately? Banana chocolate swirl.
GTKY #2: How is nesting going? Pretty well! My husband is going on a business trip this week so I plan on gutting all the crap out of the nursery that's driving me crazy and getting it more or less organized. And I have a few things on my task list, like sewing a second curtain and starting a quilt.
33 weeks. Baby M is a ferret. Or celery but I hate celery. Or three chocolate croissants, that's more like it! Also, 4-6 pounds already seems HUGE. I wish there was a crying vag emoji.

My shower is tomorrow! I'm pretty excited, also a little nervous. Mostly just because I've been feeling so tired and achey that the thought of not laying down for that long seems overwhelming.
Rants / Raves / Symptoms?
My mom got out my baby book the other day and was reading excerpts from it and getting all teary which was really sweet and we looked at my baby photos and my tiny socks that she saved. It made me feel even more excited but also made it feel very...REAL. Like there's a baby in here that's going to become a kid, but then he will be an adult and maybe he'll have babies. Bizarre.
Symptom wise I am just generally a sack of discomfort. My poor husband doesn't even know what to do with me. My sciatic pain was so intense last night I thought I might die. Between that and feeling like my pelvis is being ripped in half and that someone kicked me in the vag with steel toed boots, just your usual suspects. Insomnia, too much peeing, super sensitive skin, random crying, achey joints, never being fully alert or awake.
GTKY #1: What's your favorite kind of ice cream?
Tillamook ice cream is my go-to. Especially now, the new formula has egg yolks to make it creamier, it's incredible. I want some now. The store isn't open yet. Damnit. Favorite flavors...cookies and cream, mint chip, Marionberry pie, banana split, spumoni, pistachio.
GTKY #2: How is nesting going?
Good, we still have a lot left to do but have been waiting until after the shower for obvious reasons. I want to get the nursery done ASAP because I am too exhausted to think about putting together furniture a few weeks from now...I still need to finish sewing my cloth wipes and a few other projects but it's getting there!
Got my Tdap the other day. Also got this kiddo a few swaddle blankets that I am in love with!
Hormones have been out of control so has my RLP and sciatica. Also my calves keep swelling. Overall just blah.
My forever favorite is Ben and Jerry's Vermonty Python. I still haven't gotten over them sending it to the graveyard. Now I will settle for any coffee ice cream with fudge in it.
This past week, horribly. My 3yr old got the flu and my 1yr old had surgery to put ear tubes put in yesterday so all my energy has been put into keep them apart, trying to get Everett better, and trying not to panic about my 1yr old going under anesthesia. H has some time off this week and we (he) is hoping to tackle a bunch of stuff around the house. We don't have really anything to do baby wise but a ton of other stuff that has been constantly put off because of his work schedule.

Baby related stuff this week? Meet and greet with my new family dr/ the unborn's family dr on Wed. I'm glad it didn't take as long as predicted to get one as I was stressing over not having a pediatrician when he's born. Regular OB appt on Thurs. I expect he'll tell me I'm gaining too much weight again. Starting to dread these appointments.
Rants / Raves / Symptoms? Just generally uncomfortable. He loves to sit with his foot under my left ribs and it hurts like hell. The weight of the bump makes it uncomfortable to walk as it pulls all those muscles down and bounces on my bladder and I'm pretty sure I've started to waddle. Restless leg and hot flashes and acid reflux are all making an appearance lately. I'm so over being pregnant.
GTKY #1: What's your favorite kind of ice cream? Mint chocolate chip. I love everything mint.
GTKY #2: How is nesting going? Slowly. I'm waiting for MH to paint the long table we're using as a change table and then I know where to place everything on the walls in the nursery. And I need to make a decision on nursery art. I love the eclectic look, but MH keeps saying it should be pastels and soft images. I just want it done.
There's a bunch of cleaning and organizing I wanted to get done weeks ago but at this rate I'm running out of steam and realizing it probably won't get done before the baby comes.
Baby related stuff this week? We have an infant CPR class on Tuesday and this weekend we're taking out impromptu babymoon staycation to the coast. We're staying at the Hotel Elliott which happens to be little dude's name so it was a very sweet gift to receive. I also need to write thank you notes for my shower gifts. I am usually so on top of that but carpal tunnel in my right hand makes the task a PITA.
Rants / Raves / Symptoms? Meh not a lot of raves this week. But I can rant! Back pain, insomnia paired with exhaustion, trouble getting comfy at night, cankles... I can barely fit in any shoes so I am off to Nordstrom today to pick up a pair of the rubber EVA Birkenstock Arizonas. I figure I can live in those for the last seven weeks, right?
GTKY #1: What's your favorite kind of ice cream? Bubble Gum because I am gross and 12 or something with fudge and nuts like Jamocha Almond Fudge.
GTKY #2: How is nesting going? Good! This week I put away all the baby shower gifts and did laundry. I don't like how I organized his clothes (not my size, by object) so I have a feeling I will redo all that. Clearly necessary right? Haha.
size of a zucchini...(okay...?)
Baby related... Not much. Waiting to hear results from my 1 hr glucose.
Rants/Ravs: I'm really feeling preggo now. Achy etc. This child loves my rib cage someone else said it feels like being bruised from the inside and that sums it up perfectly!! Bending over is overrated. Shortness of breath
GTNY #1: right now it's a frozen yogurt (cause thats "healthy" right?) Cherry chocolate swirl of some sort. I'm always up for mint chocolate chip or something coffee flavoured tho!!
GTNY #2 nesting...! Oh I wanna nest so bad! We're building a house and are close to moving in so I guess these days my nesting is sanding, cocking, painting baseboards etc. I just want to get in there and settled before baby comes!! I havent done much baby-wise yet cause I didn't want to move it all. So I'm really excited to set up a baby place in our house and stalk up on baby things.
29 weeks - acorn squash/pineapple/cottontail rabbit x 2
Baby related stuff this week?
Seeing my perinatologist Thursday. I only have one more biweekly checkup after this, then I move to weekly. It's getting real!
Rants / Raves / Symptoms?
I'm basically a miserable sack of complaints lately. Nausea/exhaustion/having to pee every four seconds are my chief complaints. Throw in back pain and having four feet stuck in my ribs currently and I'm just a joy to be around.
GTKY #1: What's your favorite kind of ice cream?
My body isn't handling dairy while pregnant so I've been loving Ben & Jerry's almond milk ice cream with peanut butter and Oreos in it. Not pregnant, a local place makes PB&J ice cream with chunks of pound cake in it for "bread". Heavenly.
GTKY #2: How is nesting going?
Too tired to nest. DH is doing my nesting for me.
Baby related stuff this week? Extra u/s this week to follow up with a rash and make sure everything looks normal.
Rants / Raves / Symptoms? Itchy rash and lower back pain. Did lots of walking in Manhattan pushing DD in a cheap stroller that really seems to drag and take a lot of effort.
GTKY #1: What's your favorite kind of ice cream? Probably plain chocolate, but I prefer baked desserts. I only eat ice cream if someone puts some right in front of me or takes me to an ice cream parlor.
GTKY #2: How is nesting going? Not well with a busy toddler. I'm tired and don't have a lot of free time. Hoping to wash the baby stuff soon. Also, parts of this house still desperately need cleaning.
rearanging furniture, finalizing wills, dr appt on the 19th
we went to newborn care and breastfeeding class today. I got really excited about baby coming into real life. We also toured the hospital. I feel giant and uncomfortable. Peeing a lot. Nausea has come back some.
mint choc chip
ehhh...I like crossing things off my to-do list. I hope to get te curtains hemmed and clothes washed this upcoming week.
31w, foam finger, bunch of asparagus
Baby related stuff this week: I was in the hospital for PTL for a week so on Monday I have an appointment with my OB to check on things and come up with a game plan.
R/R/S: As long as I take the medication prescribed to stop contractions I'm feeling ok. They do make me light headed and sleppy. After taking them a few days it should get better. Best rest it boring! My crazy kids are helping keep me entertained.
GTKY #1: Rocky road with real marshmallows and mint chocolate chip.
GTKY #2: nesting ... Because I normally clean everything daily ( I have to with a family of 5 or it gets to messy and with my anxiety I get overwhelmed) being on bed rest I can't clean! So I'll have to deligate the chores between my DH & 2 oldest children. I will be making a target registry so my DH can go purchase all the baby stuff we still need.
