How far along are you? 27 Weeks

How big is baby? Fennec Fox

Upcoming appointments? Nothing until mid April. Had our 26w appt last week and everything went well. Failed the one hour glucose test, but passed the 3 hour test. Also discovered I'm anemic and have started taking a daily iron pill.

Any new symptoms or changes? It's hard to physically get off the couch. I'm still tired a lot. My pelvic floor muscles are also sore. My doc says its due to the extra weight but its really uncomfortable.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Yay it's officially Spring!

GTKY: What is your favorite home cooked meal? I think I'd have to go with Thanksgiving style food (turkey, stuffing, green beans, etc). I really only have that stuff around Thanksgiving. Or Pot Roast.

Swelling is getting a little worse, now my lips are swollen slightly so yay for that.  Exhaustion is coming back which sucks since I still feel the need to ORGANIZE AND CLEAN ALL THE THINGS

I can't believe I still have 3 months to go before my due date.  How big am I going to get?  I'm already a whale.

Probably chicken pot pie.

An Eggplant!  Per my scan, technician says he is 2 lbs. 14 oz.

Had a growth scan on Monday and baby boy is following the same arc he has been all along, so great.  Tonight we will have our 2nd birthing class.

Rants/Raves/Questions?
Last night we met husband's BFF's baby girl.  She was just a little peanut at 6 lbs 8 oz (mom was induced due to pre-eclampsia).  The men are already plotting to "join our two houses together" as we are having a baby boy. 
GTKY: What is your favorite home cooked meal? My husband makes an amazing thick cut t-bone with a reverse sear technique.  So gosh darn good.  That paired with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies is pretty much my dream meal.  Now I am hungry.  

@ashcicle - have you been trying the lower back and hip stretches and exercises?  When i was doing a lot of running, I ran into a lot of sciatica, and now its creeping back.  They really do work!

@danijo Congrats on passing the 3 hour!!!!

@merrylea Thanks! I was really relieved. 

Now I have some type of stomach flu. Boo. Seems like it's just a 24 hour bug so could be worse.
