8. GTKY - on a scale of "nothing" to "the room is still full of other stuff" how much do you have left to do for baby's room? Baby won't get a room until our new house is done being built. Which will be most likely after she is born. So, no nesting for me.

2. how far along are you? EDD? Team green, pink, or blue?: 23 weeks, team Pink and due 2/21/17

3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms): RLP is awful, nausea is constant, nosebleeds are not fun. I feel very round.

4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise): ok. The predictable movement schedule is nice and helpful. 

5. When is your next appointment?: Tomorrow morning, just regular OB check.

6. Rants/raves/whatever: pain levels are increasing, which makes it really hard to get out of bed.

7. Anything else on your mind?: I'm trying to be comforted by the fact we are only one week from medical viability, and that I have no indications for pre-term labor. 

8. GTKY - on a scale of "nothing" to "the room is still full of other stuff" how much do you have left to do for baby's room?: Room is empty and contains the dresser that will be the changing table, but I'm too afraid to jinx it so nothing will be done until January.

2. how far along are you? EDD? Team green, pink, or blue?
22 weeks + 6 days, Team Pink!

3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
I've been very crampy which gives me lots of anxiety.

4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) 
The cramping is giving me anxiety and anytime the baby doesn't kick for an hour or so I start getting anxious

5. When is your next appointment? 
Not until November 18th

6. Rants/raves/whatever 
We're super understaffed so work has been crazy and my boss is nuts and keeps telling me I need to reallocate my work NOW (even though I'm obviously not leaving for months), but we're so short that there's no one to reallocate it to anyway, so she accused me of refusing to train other people.

7. Anything else on your mind?
Nope. 

8. GTKY - on a scale of "nothing" to "the room is still full of other stuff" how much do you have left to do for baby's room? The room is empty, but Jews don't typically set up the nursery until after the baby's born (to keep away the evil eye) so I'm not too stressed.

2. how far along are you? EDD? Team green, pink, or blue? Team Blue due 2/8

3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms) I have been having more energy which I'm so excited for but I have too much amniotic fluid apparently and my uterus is very streched out and my stomach is so hard I can barely bend over or move certain ways and I get crampy way too easily so I haven't been getting as much done as I feel like I could

4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) A little stressed out, we're having a kidney shunt put in the baby on Thursday and I'm worrying about pre term labor

5. When is your next appointment? Thursday and Friday

6. Rants/raves/whatever 

7. Anything else on your mind? 

8. GTKY - on a scale of "nothing" to "the room is still full of other stuff" how much do you have left to do for baby's room? Room is empty, I sorted out the things from previous babies we're keeping, and I have a list of what we're going to need but medical bills are making me nervous about shopping. Hoping to get the room started next week.
