Symptoms have stopped being so crazy, thankfully! Just terrible heartburn...mostly controlled by Zantac 150.

NONE...which is the weirdest thing of all! I had a few aversions at the beginning, but I have had ZERO cravings this entire pregnancy.

None until the 21st.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
I'm pretty chill this time around. No rants, no raves...just taking this in stride!
What have you been able to check off of your pregnancy to do list?
Uh..."get pregnant". That's about it. I don't even have a list. This baby is going to be a minimalist. 3rd time around I'm realizing how unnecessary somethings are...and I don't want to deal with an over-abundance of things that don't get used.
GTKY: if you could be any animal, what would you choose and why?
Hmmm...probably a dog. They're like humans that don't have responsibilities. Lol!

Rant/Rave/Questions?
What have you been able to check off of your pregnancy to do list?
Almost nothing! We are having a boy this round and plan to be done, so I went through all the baby girl clothes and sorted it to give to a friend who just had twins, donations and keeping in case my SIL has a girl. I've done a little bit of boy clothes shopping but that's it. So much still to do just to make room for this guy.
GTKY: if you could be any animal, what would you choose and why? Something that sleeps, eats and lays in the sun all day. And that doesn't have any real predators out for them...I guess a domestic cat!

This week is still a lot of pubic bone pain when I go from sitting to standing.
Also, my skin is itchy from stretching to accommodate my baby's growth spurt.
Any new cravings or aversions?
Monday it was meatballs and zoodles (zucchini noodles) the next day the thought of keatballs made me nauseous. Then it was beef stroganoff.
Any appointments this week?
Well I had one this morning that I completely spaced so I rescheduled it for Monday.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
The weather here can't make up its mind. It's warm and then randomly it's 30 degrees. It's killing me!
My son starts Tee ball tomorrow and I'm super excited for him.
I'm going on a three day getaway with just DH next week to see a concert and just relax.
What have you been able to check off of your pregnancy to do list?
I have mostly everything I need and have done most things up to this point. I am a list maker and I love timelines so I'm pretty set.
GTKY: if you could be any animal, what would you choose and why?
A hummingbird because they are super fast and mobile.
2 boys - 8 and 4.5.

Insomnia and constipation. I had insomnia throughout my other pregnancies. I definitely had constipation too, but don't remember it being this bad.
Any new cravings or aversions?
No, I'm still really into chocolate and fruit especially pineapple, mangoes and cantaloupe.
Any appointments this week?
I had my anatomy scan on Tuesday and everything looked great with the baby. I don't have anything this week.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
DH started complaining last night about having a lot of pain in his shoulder (maybe a pinched nerve?). I hope it's nothing serious. We just found out DS1 has to have surgery, which is scheduled for this summer, and DS2 may need tubes if he continues to get ear infections. I just want everyone to be healthy.
What have you been able to check off of your pregnancy to do list?
We bought the infant car seat and snap n go frame a while ago during the BRU trade in event, but other than that we've done nothing. I have a lot of big ticket items from my boys, plenty of boy clothes if the baby is a boy and a decent amount of gender neutral stuff if we have a girl. We need to look at cribs soon though, I have to research pumps and I need to figure out what smaller things I need to get/replace.
GTKY: if you could be any animal, what would you choose and why?

What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies? About the same, morning sickness is lasting a bit longer and a few more aches and pains.
Any new cravings or aversions? No, my alcohol aversion is still going strong. I am kind of hoping it last my whole pregnancy.
Any appointments this week? A week from Monday.
Rant/Rave/Questions? I had a horrible flu/cold things for a few days this week. Of course it happened when I had a bunch of stuff scheduled that could not be rescheduled. Luckily DS was a trooper and let me lay on the couch whenever we had a break.
What have you been able to check off of your pregnancy to do list? We are remodeling our guest bathroom and that is taking all my decision making capabilities right now. I am hope we can decide on a name soon because I don't even feel close right now.
GTKY: if you could be any animal, what would you choose and why?
I think a monkey of some sort. It looks fun to swing in the trees and they still have a nice family unit.
I have 2- DS is 5.5 and DD is 3.5
How far along are you?
22 weeks and 6 days
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?
Stupid annoying hip pain at night, and I'm starting to get Charlie horses at night, too. I remember having really leg cramps with my son, to the point of tears. I'm really hoping it doesn't get that bad this time.
Any new cravings or aversions?
I'm very into lemonade and lemon cake these days. Just thinking about them, my mouth is watering.
Any appointments this week?
No appointments.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
I'm over winter, the wind, and pants. Bring on sun, spring and all the skirts/dresses!
What have you been able to check off of your pregnancy to do list?
I made a registry. It's more so for us than anyone else.
GTKY: if you could be any animal, what would you choose and why? I'm not a cat person, but I'd love to be one. Just for a day. Just for the sleep.

Any appointments this week? I see my midwife tonight. We had Italian relatives visiting all weekend and there was so. much. pasta. I hate getting weighed. Sigh.
Rant/Rave/Questions? I feel so blessed all around right now. It must be the winter fog lifting.
What have you been able to check off of your pregnancy to do list? I got the Arm's Reach co-sleeper off of Craigslist and the crib skirt/changing pad cover off of Land of Nod super sale. I have turned the co-sleeper into Baby Boy storage for the moment until we have a room ready for him - it is quite convenient. We don't really need anything else for him except clothes, of which my sister is going to supply a lot. I need to order all of the gripe water, and Earth's mama creams/sprays etc.
GTKY: if you could be any animal, what would you choose and why? I think I would like to be a bird. I would like to have the freedom to fly and I love trees so why not live in one?

Lemonade has been my jam. We have a creamery local that makes and sells fresh squeezed lemonade and I buy it in bulk. I've also been making fruit lemonade tea concoctions by the gallon and get so sad when it's gone.
