How far along are you? 24 weeks - hello viability!

How big is baby? Puffin-sized. How cute : )

Upcoming appointments this week? I was supposed to have a regular appointment and my GTT test today, but coughing in a room of pregnant ladies for an hour didn't seem fair to anyone. So that's now next Thursday. First growth scan is Wednesday - fingers crossed that this little guy has stuck around the 50th percentile (where he was at my anatomy scan)

Any new symptoms or changes? Nothing really - being sick the last few days has likely masked any pregnancy symptoms. At urgent care yesterday, they asked me a handful of not-very-diagnostic questions like "Have you had any shortness of breath?" or "Any body aches?" and then realized my answers weren't really going to help things.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Very tired of having a nasty cold and not being able to take anything other than Robitussin for it!

GTKY: What song do you listen to when you need a mood boost? Anything upbeat. I've been enjoying some Sia these days, but not very picky.

@c1tym0m22 Hope you feel better soon!

How far along are you? 26 weeks

How big is baby? Butternut squash

Upcoming appointments this week? Nothing until next Thursday

Any new symptoms or changes?
I'm overall feeling like I'm sleeping better than last week but I'm still so tired lately. I really hate feeling fatigued while also feeling like I have a million things to do. Now that the nursery is complete I feel like every closet in my house suddenly needs decluttering/organizing. My appetite is also picking up but I only want to eat junk. 

Rants/Raves/Questions?
The above was kind of a rant. I'm just not ready to lose my good sleep. I am excited to enter third tri soon. No matter how many fears I have about becoming a mom I'm finally feeling like I'm ultimately just ready to meet her. 

GTKY: What song do you listen to when you need a mood boost? 

"Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield. It's a great song to belt out in the car.

GTKY: What song do you listen to when you need a mood boost?  im more of a go to silence type for a mood boost

@mombod I was the same way about my nursery and as a result it's just about done. I'm really glad I started early though because as first time parents it seemed to really help DH get excited/start actually thinking about the baby.

Been off TB for a week or so now. Parents were here visiting and just took a media break in general. Hi, I'm back tonight! 

How far along are you? 27 weeks 

How big is baby? Head of lettuce

Upcoming appointments this week? 28 week appointment on the 9th, along with ultrasound to check placenta, GD testing and blood work. 

Any new symptoms or changes? Increase in itching STILL. Upper right stomach pain (I don't have a gallbladder). Fatigue is definetly setting back it! 

Rants/Raves/Questions? Offically at "the mark" of when my abruption happened with DS. Lots of nerves this week but I'm in a pretty good place mentally and emotionally. 

OH! My job told me this week they're eliminating OT (occupational therapy) services for the company...so no more job for me as of April 30th. It's not a giant surprise, as I started the OT program fall 2015 and insurance reimbursement rates for OT services are crap, so finically our company just can't keep up. It's still super sad as I love my job, and they love me. It was a difficult week. 

I take it as an opportunity of a new door opening. Since I was only working 2 days a week, I may just transition into a full time SAHM. Time will tell. 

GTKY: What song do you listen to when you need a mood boost? 

Ohhh...most recently I've busted out my Fiona Apple- When the pawn hits... album. Sometimes a little JT gets my mood boosted too!

How big is baby? bunch of bananas

Upcoming appointments this week? I had one on Tuesday- did my GTT so I'm downing girl scout cookies just in case I can't have them soon.  No worries I also had celery today. #balance

Any new symptoms or changes? I feel like I've super popped out and suddenly my clothes are all so tight.  Also I'm on a big pb and j kick, not sure if that's a symptom or not but I needed to share.

Rants/Raves/Questions?  My house is finally pending after almost 2 years on the market and I am equal parts excited and anxious that something will go wrong.  Eeeeee!

GTKY: What song do you listen to when you need a mood boost?  I thought everyone's answer to this question would be Living on a Prayer.

How big is baby? Cantaloupe

Upcoming appointments this week? Nope

Any new symptoms or changes? Harder kicks

Rants/Raves/Questions? Really over this damn cold.  Coughing fits when I wake up til the meds kick in.  Snot everywhere.  I've never stayed sick this long.  Hopefully this is my last cold for the pregnancy.

GTKY: What song do you listen to when you need a mood boost? I usually turn on the Wicked musical station on my Pandora.

@dolphinkates11 Feel better - I think I'm finally turning the corner with this darn cold, so hopefully you're reaching the end of it too. 

And thanks for all of the upbeat music suggestions, everyone!
