How many weeks? 26 weeks

What size is baby? My apps say either a bowling pin or kale. 

Upcoming appointments? My next appointment is July 27th, where I will do my GT test.

Rants/Raves/Questions? DH and I still haven't picked a name for this baby girl and it's driving me crazy. We are starting to make progress on the nursery (slowly) but so far we've only been able to get the small stuff out of the room. I'm still on pelvic rest, which is frustrating too.  

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I'm starting to get pretty uncomfortable, and I know that it's only going to get worse. Gosh, I'm kind of a Debbie Downer today!

GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? We actually met when we were in high school and remained friends for a long time. There's no cute story or anything, we just hung out in the same crowd of people. We started dating about 10 years after we first met (and after we both married other people and got divorced) and we've been together for 10 years now. We just celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary. 

ETA: clarity

How many weeks? 27 weeks.

What size is baby? head of lettuce, bunch of bananas, camping lantern, fennec fox...take your pick.

Upcoming appointments? I had one last Wednesday (where I was told to count kicks. ) and I have one again next week for my glucose tolerance test...but that's just at the lab.

Rants/Raves/Questions?  I'm getting really really really excited now!  I feel like everything is coming together, and we are *almost* ready for baby's arrival.  I think it was ordering diapers on Prime Day that made it feel so "official"

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?  Lots of upper back pain.   Like I pinched a nerve or something!

GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? We met at the wine aisle at Trader Joe's.  hahaha.  He totally hit on me as I was picking out my wines.  The funny thing is, a year after already being with SO/DH, I was at the same Trader Joe's in the wine aisle when I got hit on again by this Italian dude who left me his calling card.  hahaha

26 weeks! I quit with trying to un-bold this. Mobile bumping blows. 

What size is baby?
kale? Where do they get this?

Upcoming appointments?
I think 2 weeks for my glucose.. Which I managed to get out of the drink and only have to do blood work

Rants/Raves/Questions?
The only thing so far that I've gotten done was buy a ton of diapers and wipes, thanks to Prime Day! Nothing else. We need to stop procrastinating!

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
I have been eating 4 whole watermelons a week. No joke. And I would eat more if I didn't hate cutting them up so much.

GTKY: How did you meet your S/O?
We had a math class together in high school. He was 2 years older than me and I'm so dead serious when I say this, I fell in love with him the moment I saw him. We didn't actually start dating until I was a senior in high school though.

27w0d yesterday 
What size is baby?
Head of lettuce? Doesn't seem to fit - I think the vegetable measurements are no longer valid at this point
Upcoming appointments?
Not until July 26.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I passed my glucose test (which is good because this country doesn't have air conditioning and ice cream is the ONLY remedy)! My iron was low, though. I'll find out at my next appointment whether I have to do anything for that. Also, I finally have uncomfortable pregnancy symptoms and it blows. 
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
I am so uncomfortable all the time. Baby is sitting so low I can barely lift my legs and have to waddle and often hold my belly with my hands to keep the weight off of my pelvis. Also heartburn. O.M.G. I have never experienced this before and it is the worst. This actually reminds me that I wanted to look up whether it's possible to overdose on Tums.
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O?
We met when I studied abroad in Undergrad. We were at a party and he walked up to me and said "Hi." I don't remember what we talked about but it was brief. He was too young, skinny and respectful to make a lasting impression Then he found me on the German Uni Facebook and we stayed in touch for years. We didn't start dating until 2011, but it went quickly after that!

How many weeks? 28+1

What size is baby? Eggplant! Which I have actually never had. Or a head of Cauliflower. Which I love!

Upcoming appointments? I just had one yesterday! Uneventful! Had a TDAP Shot, and got my fundal height measured for the first time! Next appointment is in 3 weeks, due to Dr's vacation and then mine!

Rants/Raves/Questions? Feeling good still! Just tired and feeling super restless at night not sleeping well! I'm not uncomfortable and didn't have this with my first just can't sleep!! Going to be starting my Hypnobabies course hopefully this week, and I am excited!

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Stayrted having a bit of braxton hicks here and there which to me is actually pretty exciting! I didn't have them with my first, but it just feels like my body is preparing! Lots of movement from little miss! No real cravings or aversions. Stomach space is becoming smaller and smaller!

GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? Well today is actually our 5 year wedding anniversary so great question!! Hopefully since I'm feeling sappy and hormonal this doesn't get too long! I was working at a little retail store called Pamida on Halloween. I was dressed as a pirate at work, and was called up to register for backup. He was in there checking out with his dad. His dad was in one lane, and told him he would buy his dog food for him, but instead he stayed in my line. Nothing earth shattering. Fast forward to the next day, I get to work and a girl I worked with asked if I got a phone call from anybody the night before, and I didn't. She said there was somebody who came in the day before who thought I was cute, and asked a mutual friend of the girl who told me, and him if I was seeing anybody, and she gave him my number. He was a bit more of a gentleman though, and didn't feel comfortable just calling me that way, and came in later that day to the store. He walked in, and the girl co-worker said That's him! We kind of stalked him, and talked over our radios watching him through the store. He bought some clay pigeons and left the store, and I was like What the heck? A few minutes later he comes back in the store, finds me. In the cutest little southern accent, he takes his bass pro hat off his head, and says, "Hi I'm Mike, I was hoping I could get your number." Or something along those lines. It's funny knowing him now, and knowing how shy he is, that he even asked for my number!! I had a few months prior gotten out of a long relationship and a few months before that so did he. I was really resistant to jumping into a relationship super fast, but I fell so fast and hard for him, and love him even more today! We were married about 18 months later!! Can't believe we are expecting number 2 in a few short months!
