27. Last week of the second tri!

What size is baby?
Head of lettuce.

Upcoming appointments?
Just had my glucose test yesterday (fx I pass!) and no appointments until 9/21

Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rant - Work, blah! And Squish won't stop moving. It's quite distracting.

Rave - My due date is exactly 3 months from today 0.0 Holy crap has time just flown!

Symptoms?
Leg cramps. I'm drinking so much Gatorade to ward off these leg cramps. They're awful. I'm breaking out again, which also sucks. I also feel my energy levels going down. I have one more week in 2nd tri and dammit I want my energy!!

GTKY: What are you eating/craving now that you never liked before getting pregnant?
I've mentioned on here before my extreme dislike of cheesecake. Well, wouldn't you know I ate half of a Publix cheesecake the other week and it was good. WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME!?!?!?!?!?!?

24 - actually on on Friday so I can do this, I wish I was more consistent.

What size is baby?
Cantoloupe

Upcoming appointments?
Not until 27 weeks

Rants/Raves/Questions?
FMLA, I mean it's one thing that it's just not enough, but I would like to be able to call and get the same answer from everyone and not 3 different answers.

Symptoms?
Morning Sickness/Nausea Trying not to get dehydrated really hard but my aversion to water and most fluids is making it very difficult.

GTKY: What are you eating/craving now that you never liked before getting pregnant?
Because of my sickness I really can eat very little.  Nothing that I didn't like before and no real cravings, except right now I could really go for an apple cider donut and some ice cold apple cider... Lot's of spaghettios... :-/

@BenNSarah - DH is from a place in New Hampshire that has an orchard that makes evidently the BEST apple cider donuts. I can't eat them but for him they are heaven... I did have an apple cider slushy there. OMG SO APPLEY!

Upcoming appointments? not until 9/19

Rants/Raves/Questions? my rant and rave are the same - my due date is 3 months from today! on one hand, i have so much to do and don't feel ready. on the other, seriously, i'm going to be pregnant for 3 more months!

Symptoms? i've got the blahs this week. 

GTKY: What are you eating/craving now that you never liked before getting pregnant? pickles - its cliche, but true for me

l9i

How many weeks? 24 weeks

What size is baby? Cantaloupe

Upcoming appointments? Another week and a half including the lovely glucose test

Rants/Raves/Questions? I am counting down the days until our 30 week ultrasound.  We didn't get to see any good views of the face and I'm dying to see baby again, especially all the growth!

Symptoms? I can tell I'm starting to get winded more easily.  I feel like once my face clears up it breaks out again and repeats this cycle, currently it's broken out.  I'm happy I haven't had to deal with headaches every other day like I was for awhile.  Other than that, just feeling heavy.

GTKY: What are you eating/craving now that you never liked before getting pregnant?  I would pretty much refuse to eat nuts.  Now they are fine, especially if they are salted.  I don't crave them but if their in something like a salad I have zero problem eating them.  The other thing is meat.  Before my primary, go to meat was chicken and I rarely ate beef.  Now chicken is not super appealing but I'll take all the beef.  I haven't really had any cravings.

How many weeks? also 24 weeks today - woohoo viability (it feels great to finally be in that club)!

What size is baby? philly cheesesteak

Upcoming appointments? Originally my next appt. was scheduled for 9/22 but I am switching to a midwife practice (woohoo!!) and my first appointment with my midwife will be 10/3. I'm so excited!

Rants/Raves/Questions? I feel really beautiful right now and I love my growing bump. Downside, I feel like I've been kicked in the vagina. My pelvis has been very sore this week and it hurts to walk.

Symptoms? Hungry, sore nipples and sore pelvis

GTKY: What are you eating/craving now that you never liked before getting pregnant? Not so much as what I'm craving now versus what I am not craving. My entire life I've been a choco-holic. I loooove chocolate. Pregnant me can do without it.

How many weeks? 28 weeks

What size is baby? tropical coconut?

Upcoming appointments? Not until the 20th. Just had the glucose screen and flu shot and tdap this week.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I love how active the baby is now, it's reassuring. However....I got a massage and a chiropractic adjustment yesterday, and was so excited to have so much less pain and sleep in on my bday.....Nope. Basically zero sleep last night. Baby had a dance party, and I'm super congested and acid reflux is horrible. I actually was up most of the night either coughing or repositioning or vomiting.

Symptoms? See above. Plus hungry. 

GTKY: What are you eating/craving now that you never liked before getting pregnant? I was always into salty snacks. Now I could eat sweets for every meal. Also, I was more of a chicken fan....now it's very hard to eat it and I crave red meat.

27. Third trimester so close!

What size is baby?
I always forget to check. But I get visual kicks right below my ribs now. 

Upcoming appointments?
Next Thursday to check placenta location and growth. No word on when my gd test will be.

Rants/Raves/Questions?
I'm still concerned about weight gain...I've only gained 4 pounds total and was not overweight to begin with. I have not gained a pound since my last appt and my Dr initially said he needs to see 2-4 before my next. So I'm worried. 

Also terrified of getting put on restrictions due to this placenta previa. It's a waiting game until Thursday. 

Symptoms?
so much movement. There's almost no downtime with this kid. Also tired. Normal stuff I know. 

GTKY: What are you eating/craving now that you never liked before getting pregnant?
I haven't had strange cravings...basically eat very similar to pre pregnancy. Only early craving I had was boneless wings but I love those all the time!

How many weeks? 28! Third trimester, wahoo!

What size is baby? Eggplant

Upcoming appointments? Starting my biweekly appointments with my midwife now and I have one on Monday. I've started going to a chiropractor weekly as well to help align me up and help my sore lower back.

Rants/Raves/Questions? DH bought me a LuLaRoe dress yesterday. I about died when he said he got a small.. Like dude! I'm 7 months pregnant! It fits skin tight but is super flattering to my belly and it's likely to become my new favorite. He even agreed I could get one more. 

Symptoms? Lower back pain, peeing x2076799 times a day, hungry alwayssss

GTKY: What are you eating/craving now that you never liked before getting pregnant? Peanut butter and strawberry jelly sandwiches! Can't get enough.
