Sorry I'm a little behind this week. I was busy being a human pin cushion yesterday morning, then sleeping because I felt yucky. I hope everyone had fun last night!!

2. how far along are you? EDD? Team green, pink, or blue?: 24 weeks, 2/21/16, team Pink

3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms): not great. Super tired, lots of pain (RL and Back), still throwing up.

4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise): also not great. I had an OB appointment last week, and while baby seems to be doing well I'm gaining almost no weight still. Dr says to not stress but its hard. I try to take comfort in the wiggles and kicks but it's hard when I feel so awful all the time.

5. When is your next appointment? Third week of Nov, just before Thanksgiving.

6. Rants/raves/whatever: maybe its the fall weather, but I just feel down lately. I have so many projects and no motivation or energy to get anything done. 

7. Anything else on your mind?: I wish I could take off and sleep until the election is over. Too Stressful.

8. GTKY - who here doesn't like soup?! What's your favorite?: Potato leek or bacon/corn chowder.

@FromAstarael I know how you feel about the weight thing. I lost weight in first tri and early second and finally got back up to my pre-pregnancy weight but I haven't gained anymore. It's a weird feeling because my belly is obviously getting bigger but the numbers are not reflecting it. Try not to focus on the numbers so much. I know that's hard but especially with still being sick (I'm so sorry about that) just focus on being healthy.

I've also been feeling down lately and it seems like a different reason everyday. Trying to do things is so hard because I just don't have energy or I'm not able to complete something by myself. Hang in there!

4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) I get anxious when she doesn't move for awhile, then calm down when she does.

8. GTKY - who here doesn't like soup?! What's your favorite? My mom makes this soup called Flanken.  It's a beef stew and amazing.

2. how far along are you? EDD? Team green, pink, or blue? 25+6 Team Blue

3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms) I feel pretty OK during the day aside from heartburn but by 7:30pm I'm ready for bed. I also started lactating which is really annoying.

4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) I'm feeling much less anxious after my most recent appointments.

5. When is your next appointment? Ultrasound friday

6. Rants/raves/whatever 

7. Anything else on your mind? 

8. GTKY - who here doesn't like soup?! What's your favorite? I am really loving Progresso Chickarini right now. I haven't been cooking much the past month so canned soup for lunch has become a thing.

2. how far along are you? EDD? Team green, pink, or blue? - 25 weeks today, EDD Feb 14, team pink

3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms) - ok - backache and ankles are super sore - but relatively good (and getting a Snoogle this week)

4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) - ok - still not feeling a lot of movement but that is, apparently, due to an anterior placenta. So long as I feel her once a day the anxiety seems to stay away

5. When is your next appointment? had one yesterday - next one Nov 28th then we switch to every 2 weeks!

6. Rants/raves/whatever - work and life are kicking my arse - I just want to sleep lately but also want to get things done and spend time with DH. Weekends are too short 

7. Anything else on your mind? not really

8. GTKY - who here doesn't like soup?! What's your favorite? Love soup - in particular tomato soup, clam chowder, black bean soup, potato soup... counting down the weeks to cooler weather in TX so that the thought of soup becomes more appetizing. If it doesn't soon I may crank the AC for a bit and eat soup
