28 weeks 5 days
Upcoming appointments?   
Not until 30 weeks. 
Symptoms?  
Still puking. I'm getting these really nice (sarcasm) hot flashes. Especially when I walk too much. 
Cravings?  
Chocolate, lemonade, cheeseburgers. Basically, I could win any food eating competition right now. I'm always hungry. 
Rants/Raves/Questions?   
Does anyone else feel like they can pull a muscle super easily? I literally flex my feet and I feel pain in my calves. 
GTKY: what is something you can never seem to finish?    
Beer. I've never been able to drink a whole bottle/can/glass of beer. I hate the taste. More of a wine girl.

@tova24 I keep waking up drenched in sweat this week. Sorry about the hot flashes!! 
I'm also getting leg craps fairly easily. I can't even get a really satisfying stretch in   

tova24

@Nxy the struggle is real! Last week I had a hot flash and then had to get my blood drawn for my endocrinologist. I was so light headed that after my appointment I went straight home instead of back to work. I've never felt this "fragile" before. It's crazy how easy pain comes and goes with the cramps.

27 Weeks and the bump says lettuce (like...what?)

Upcoming appointments?   

Just had one Friday.  All is well. Baby didn't like having his heartrate checked.  Totally kicked the doctor!  Lol!  I had my 1-hour glucose.  Not as bad as I remember...my drink was red this time, not orange.  It wasn't terrible.  I haven't heard results, so I'll take that as a good sign.

Symptoms?  

Heartburn!  Zantac has stopped working.  TUMS have stopped working.  I'm dying, pretty much.  Also, I'm drooling when I sleep.  Like, excessively.  So gross.

Cravings?  

Still nothing!  Which sure has helped with weight management!

Rants/Raves/Questions?   

I can't believe how fast this is going!  It's so exciting!  Also, my local Target had 30% off EVERYTHING in the baby department the other day.  Everything.  Car seats, strollers, wraps, carriers, clothing, diapers, etc...it was fantastic!  I have a Red Card, too, so that was another 5% off, and then there were a few deals through the cartwheel app, too...all were stackable! 

GTKY: what is something you can never seem to finish?

Movies.  I'm out before the credits roll. Every single time.

How far along are you & how big is baby? 27 weeks & size of bunches of bananas or lettuce or camping lantern lol.  

Upcoming appointments?  Thursday for the glucose 1 hr

Symptoms?  Still the darn varicose veins, starting to get tired, and random heartburn

Cravings?  Smothered chicken from a local Hawaiian & Chamorro restaurant.

Rants/Raves/Questions? My parents & in-laws have been very supportive and excited for baby girl, ESP my Mom. I think bec they know this is the last grandbaby from us (until my brother has kids in the future). They've been so kind to buy my 2yo DS bedroom set & baby Girl's bedroom set. Mom's been extremely nice these days and it's been cool. My MiL has even reached out to say that she will cover baby girl's Florida Prepaid College fund (my parents have my 2yo DS FPC covered). We've been blessed with wonderful parents and every time we would say thank you (numerous times too), my mom & dad would always respond with something like - "no thank you, for you and your brother for always being good children and listening to us all these years & being successful". After they say things like that I always cry happy tears. Thanks hormones!! 

GTKY: what is something you can never seem to finish? Books! I recently bought a great books called "Own It" and "Make your kid a money genius" and only read half of both books! Fail. And they're both good reads too. I just get too tired after a long day of dropping DS to grandmas house for daycare, work, work outs, cooking, cleaning, and everything at home! If I could win the lotto I'd hire a personal chef, housecleaning service, and a personal trainer to come to my home. Hahahahaha!

@dma0389 I didn't even finish your post I got to Chamorro food and now it's your fault that I want good Chamorro bbq chicken and red rice and.. GUAM FOOD   

dma0389

@Nxy yes girl!!! I was craving red rice and man did they hook it up! DH got Chamorro BBQ chicken and short ribs on top of red rice. Sooooo good!

How far along are you & how big is baby?   25 Weeks / Baseball Glove 

Upcoming appointments?   This coming Friday. 

Symptoms?  I'm exhausted! M/S, heartburn, insomnia. 

Cravings?  All the Carbs. 

Rants/Raves/Questions?   My Zulily order finally came. Yay for comfy maternity clothes! 

GTKY: what is something you can never seem to finish?   Lately it's been Library books. I never seem to finish them before they're due back. Kids & fatigue are definitely contributing factors.

26 weeks - bowling pin

Upcoming appointments?   
I just had one on Friday.  I'm pretty sure I'm starting appointments every 2 weeks now.

Symptoms?  
Other than insomnia and the occasional sciatica/lower back pain, I'm feeling pretty good.

Cravings?  
Still fruit and chocolate.

Rants/Raves/Questions?   
We finally ordered a crib and dresser today.  It takes about 12 weeks for delivery and I probably have at most 13 weeks left until the baby arrives.  Nothing like waiting until the last minute to get things done.  I assume the baby will start in our room anyway, but it would be nice to have everything set up before the birth.

GTKY: what is something you can never seem to finish?     
Books.  I eventually finish them, but it takes forever.  I can get into a groove for a short period of time, but then I decide other things are more important than reading like sleeping or watching mindless tv.

SpotConlon

I I really only finish books because I'm part of a monthly book club. I'm hosting this next month so I better finish sooner than the day of the meeting this time around

JWatt5

How far along are you & how big is baby?   28 weeks - hello 3rd trimester! Size of an eggplant. 

Upcoming appointments?   
Not for a couple weeks now. 

Symptoms?  
Still feeling pretty good - just the standard constipation. 

Cravings?  
Usually icecream but I'm just realizing it's been days since I thought of it. Hehe And only becaus the cottage has no power/no running water (roughing it this weekend!) for the last 3 days. 

Rants/Raves/Questions?   
I'm pretty excited about my shower now. It's hit and miss for attendance in my family but everyone seems to be coming which makes me super happy I'll get to see everyone!

GTKY: what is something you can never seem to finish?     
Organizing closets - we need space but once I get started I've over it fast - so much stuff after a few years.

28 weeks- Eggplant, hello third trimester!

Upcoming appointments?   
I have my 28 week appointment and glucose test on Wednesday.

Symptoms?  
It's harder for me to bend straight over and I run out of breath faster than before. 

Cravings?  
Ive wanted biscuit sandwiches the last two days for breakfast. I've got a taste for coffee too.

Rants/Raves/Questions?   
I realized yesterday when I was thinking about my symptoms, that my sciatic nerve pain has been gone for a couple of weeks. And today I got all my insurance debocales worked out and everything is paid and squared away. So that's a big relief.

GTKY: what is something you can never seem to finish?     

A complete thought/story. It's easier when I'm writing because I can edit before I send, but when I'm talking I'm ALL OVER THE PLACE! It's frustrating for me and the listener sometimes. Haha

How far along are you & how big is baby?   28 weeks (size if a rollerblade)

Upcoming appointments?   
In the waiting room now. 

Symptoms?  
Headaches 

Cravings?  
Give me all the DQ hot fudge sundaes

Rants/Raves/Questions?   
Received a ton of hand me downs with my son from my SIL (which I was super thankful for) and returned them size organized in matching clear totes. Now they are coming back to me (boy #2) and I'm getting them here and there in shopping bags. She had a girl earlier this year so I am assuming she was looking for stuff she could use- but geeze. I wish I had my organized totes!!

GTKY: what is something you can never seem to finish?     
Laundry. Always have laundry to do. 

Nxy

@erindippity I've also noticed most of my nerve pain is gone. Baby boy must have shifted positions because the past week or two I've actually been able to sit/lay on my right side. Hooray for relief!!!
