What size is baby? Eggplant
Upcoming appointments? Next app is July 15th, the dreaded glucose test!
Rants/Raves/Questions? I bit of a rant... Last night at Zumba, I realized my body is not really able to do as much anymore. I want to work out just as hard as I normally do, but my body is clearly telling me to slow down. I get winded quicker, I sweat easier, and my belly just feels really heavy. It sucks because I was in really great shape before this pregnancy and I feel like that's sort of slipping away and there's not much I can do about it. So frustrating!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions: Lots of constipation these days.
GTKY: What would you do if you have no responsibilities right now? I would drive to Georgia to hang out with DH on his business trip. The separation anxiety is so real right now!
24 weeks! Officially viability day! I love getting to this point!
What size is baby?
Eggplant
Upcoming appointments?
Had an appointment yesterday so nothing until the 29th of July. I'll probably have to do the glucose test then.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
It just started this week but I started waking up through the night to pee and tossing and turning a million times, due to sore hips. I had been sleeping wonderfully so this is a total bummer.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Anything sweet and coffee I'm all over it. I have been lucky that all my aversions went away around 12 weeks.
GTKY: What would you do if you have no responsibilities right now?
hmmm...
No responsibility I would probably drink an entire bottle of wine in one sitting with a friend in a hot tub. But considerig im responsible for a baby inside me that's off the table.
If I had no responsibility and the money to do it I would go on a one month holiday to somewhere in the Caribbean.
What size is baby? eggplant, ear of corn (since those two are so similar)
Upcoming appointments? I have my glucose test in 3 weeks
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Hubbs was adorable yesterday, driving me to my eye Dr, going to babies r us and picking up a pizza, all because I wasn't feeling well and he felt bad that I didn't feel well. He had to be at work by 4 and was going to work a double shift and instead of taking a nap he took care of me.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
I'm still loving milkshakes. I keep getting muscle cramps at night in my legs and right arm. They are driving me nuts to the point where I want to rip my freaking limbs off.
GTKY: What would you do if you have no responsibilities right now?
I wouldn't go to work or do housework. I would be at a dog rescue loving on all the unwanted dogs so they can feel some kindness.
What size is baby? The size of a package of Oreos? That seems drastically larger than last weeks mac & cheese lol
Upcoming appointments? I just had the follow up anatomy scan - went great! I should have had my 24 week appointment late this week or early next, but I have a huge work event on July 11, so I rescheduled for the 12th. I'll do my second glucose test then. I did one at 12 weeks because I had some insulin resistance while doing fertility treatments. IMO, it wasn't that bad! The syrupy drink kind of tasted like Hawaiian punch and I liked it lol
Rants/Raves/Questions? I just threw up at a country club during the site walk through for my work event. I'm sooooo tired of puking. (Sorry for being a broken record about this, it just owns my life!)
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Still hate most foods. Did have a weird craving for Eggo waffles with tons of syrup and they were delicious!
GTKY: What would you do if you have no responsibilities right now? (Stolen from Monday because I'm a dirty, dirty thief.) Go to St. Martin on vacation! H and I wanted to go back this Spring but the Zika advisory put the kibosh on that. I would love to go back, best vacation ever!
25 weeks today! Woop!
What size is baby?
The size of a prairie dog. Okay lol
Upcoming appointments?
Tomorrow! I see my regular OB and I hope he does an ultrasound. I think after that is the glucose test. Oy
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I made an appointment to see a chiropractor on Thursday because this sciatic nerve pain has me done, done, done. I was in tears last night. I really hope that it helps. Does anyone have any experience with chiropractors for pain during pregnancy? I didn't have this with my daughter.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Omg the Passion Tea with Lemonade unsweetened from Starbucks is my life right now. My life lol
GTKY: What would you do if you have no responsibilities right now? (Stolen from Monday because I'm a dirty, dirty thief.)
I would go with DH back to England and stay in Europe with him all summer long just jumping from country to country.
What size is baby? Cauliflower
Upcoming appointments? Had my sugar test appointment today. Wasn't so badcat first. But while waiting the hour i got the worst headache and a terrible dizzy spell.

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
All the oreos and all the ice cold milk. But I'm resisting and onky estimg them in moderation.

Probably take a nice long cruise to the virgin islands, then I'd stay a week or two before cruising back.
What size is baby? 13.5 in, 1.5 lbs
Upcoming appointments? july 9 is the glucose test and appointment.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I would like to rant that I need to eat very small
meals throughout the day and eating too much will ruin my whole day/next day. But want to RAVE that due to my new medicine, I can start having fruits and veggies again! I missed them!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? salad and apples!!! Love!
GTKY: What would you do if you have no responsibilities right now? (Stolen from Monday because I'm a dirty, dirty thief.) Aren't all of our responsibilities self-made anyways?

What size is baby?
Butternut squash!
Upcoming appointments?
Friday, GD test
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Raving about my snoogle, it's been amazing! I should not have put off buying it for so long! Ranting about waking up with a Charlie horse again. I've only had 2 in my whole life, both within the last month.
Super nervous because we're waiting to hear if we got a spot in the daycare we like (there's one family ahead of us). If we didn't, that sucks, and if we did, we'll have to make a super quick decision and put down a hefty deposit. This process is awful!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
I've been way overdoing it on the sweets lately, and a result I've put on a few pounds since Friday, yikes. Also, I had a lot of dessert last night and the sugar gave me RLS. I need to be more conscious of that.
GTKY: What would you do if you have no responsibilities right now? (Stolen from Monday because I'm a dirty, dirty thief.) I would love to spend the summer at a beach house in Maine! I was born there and it's just so beautiful and peaceful.
It's a boy!
Sorry I'm late ladies - been crazy busy lately!
How many weeks? 26 weeks (yesterday)
What size is baby? Kale
@Michi1382 - funny story about prairie dogs...I let my dog off leash one time and he chased some into a hole. That night, my DH noticed a flea jumping on his arm. Yep, my dog got fleas from the prairie dogs and gave them to my husband! Needless to say, he was less than thrilled...
Upcoming appointments? July 20
Rants/Raves/Questions? I keep buying things to decorate baby's nursery. This must stop -- Etsy, you are the Devil!!!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Still sweets - any kind, any time...
GTKY: What would you do if you have no responsibilities right now? (Stolen from Monday because I'm a dirty, dirty thief.) @scostel2 - My DH and I went to St. Martin 5 years ago and I would love to go back! I could have stayed on that beach forever!!
Yeah, I would probably leave my DS with my mom and jet off somewhere with my DH - we haven't been on a vacation just the two of us in 4 years. Somewhere tropical with bottomless drinks...
23 weeks
What size is baby?
Grapefruit, bunch of grapes, barbie doll, chinchilla, papaya...
Average is 8in, 1.2lbs but apparently we're measuring at 1lb11oz.
The doctor says we'll have to check again closer to delivery but they might have to cut this baby out of me if it gets too big.
Upcoming appointments?
We just had a follow-up anatomy scan Monday 6/27, baby is upside-down, placenta is anterior, and baby is measuring big. Skull and femur are measuring average for development but abdomen is 3 weeks ahead.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
We got the sex confirmed at this follow-up exam. I wanted to be team green but my husband really wanted to know so we found out, my compromise was that we wouldn't share it with anyone. But now he's pushing to tell people, his argument is that I'm making it a bigger deal by trying to keep it a secret when the whole point is to not make it a big deal and keep things as gender neutral as possible. I don't know if he's right but he might wear me down.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Still have pubic symphysis pain, feels like I've been kicked in the crotch randomly through the day, especially when I get up from sitting on a hard surface. Thinking about buying a maternity belt.
GTKY: What would you do if you have no responsibilities right now?
Definitely go to the beach.
