How big is baby?

A Barbie dream car or gallon of milk

Pink 

Appointments this week?

Nope

Symptoms? 

My back and hips are starting to hurt. I now make lots of noises when getting up or down. 

What have you done to prepare for baby this week?
does painting the hallway count? 

Rants/Raves/Questions: 

My DH is annoying today. He doesn't want to paint bc "I only have one day off this week and I don't want to spend it painting" yet he will go work on equipment in the barn. So pretty much he should have just said "the shit that is important to you isn't to me and I don't wanna" 

GTKY: Do you have an animal species that you absolutely love? Doesn't have to be a pet type. 
Polar bears. I have always loved them and would love to see one.

Rants/Raves/Questions: 14 more weeks or less of the GD diet.  I think my body is getting more used to it because I don't feel like I'm starving all the time anymore.

@rachelmiller03 That is such great news about your DH's job! I wouldn't wish a layoff upon anybody, especially at this late stage in the game.

Yaaaaaaaas!!!!

peachy0709

How far along are you? 27 weeks.  Flew by compared to last time, but I've all of a sudden gotten insane nesting instincts and beyond the normal excitement about meeting baby to BEING READY. 

How big is baby? Apparently a rutabaga? 

Team Blue, Pink, Green? Pink! I think we've settled on the first name, and now we're just trying to land on a middle. Finally!!! 

Appointments this week? Not until Feb 1 for the infamous GD test. Last time I crashed so hard after drinking the sugar water and had to stay home for the day, I hope it doesn't happen again. 

Symptoms? All of it Heartburn, nosebleeds, tailbone pain, cankles, etc etc etc 

What have you done to prepare for baby this week? Major nesting - cleared out my closet, DH's closet and DD's closet, bought DD her new "Big girl" car seat to get her ready for baby (BRU trade in event FTW!), scheduled the "painters" (aka DH and my dad) to paint baby's room in a few weeks. 

Rants/Raves/Questions: The lack of focus at work is killing me.  My job last time around was not as demanding, and I was in a very private office at the end of the hall so I could spend all day on The Bump and the registry and planning etc etc etc. This time around I'm a lot more visible and my desktop can still be seen from the hall. I don't want to focus, I just want to look at onesies! 

GTKY: Do you have an animal species that you absolutely love? Doesn't have to be a pet type.  Marine mammals, OF COURSE. How can you not love them??
