I'm so sore all the time but I know it goes along with the territory but it is making me so grumpy!

How far along are you? 31+1
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies? Everything from my lower back down hurts. It feels like this kid is trying to rip out of me. Carpal tunnel, but only at night. It's been better, overall and I'm enjoying it more, but I'm glad to be in the home stretch.
Cravings: Mexican and fruit, though I'm having a hard time eating lately, what with the baby taking up and it's so hot.
Any appointments this week? Blood draw Tuesday to recheck bile levels in blood.
Rant/Rave/Questions I'm just tired and grouchy.
GTKY: what's your best and worst quality? My best is probably my worst, as well. I'm going to say sensitivity. I can empathize with people easily, but also get hurt easily.
@morgy_bee I had a prenatal massage and it was nice at the time but I was so sore after. I don't know if I would do it again if I had the chance.

2 year old DD
How far along are you? 31 weeks
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?
Got nauseous last night, seems like every two weeks or so I get a day or two of nausea. Then it's gone again. Never happened with my daughter. Been very stiff and having minor nose bleeds as well.
Cravings: strawberries, got a flat from a local farm and I am destroying them way to quickly
Any appointments this week? Prenatal massage Monday, then I have a 32 week check up on Friday.
Rant/Rave/Questions
GTKY: what's your best and worst quality?
Best: Im definitely one to go above and beyond to help people. Especially friends and family, taking care of people is a natural instinct for me. I think I learned it from my Mom.
Worst: I can be overly sensitive, it's fine now that I'm a SAHM but it made it difficult when working with the public. Doesn't help that no matter the emotion (happy, sad, angry) I'm a cryer.
How many other children do you have?
DS just turned 2 on 5/21.
How far along are you?
31 weeks!
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?
This has been a way more stressful and difficult pregnancy. I'm hoping the worst is behind me, and although I have aches and pains, I want to try to enjoy the next 6 or so weeks.
Cravings:
Milkshakes. I can't get enough of them!
Any appointments this week?
Not until 6/19 for a quick 32 week checkup
Rant/Rave/Questions
I just posted in the Saturday ticker change, but my husband has been an absolute saint lately!
GTKY: what's your best and worst quality?
Best: I like to think that I'm a really loyal and compassionate friend. I would do anything to help someone out.
Worst: I'm incredibly sensitive and take things offensively even if that wasn't the intention at all.
-2. DS1 is 4 1/2 and DS2 is 1
how far along are you?

what symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?
- Heart burn, lightning crotch, leg and back pain- all the same as previous pregnancies I think. Plus now recurring BV which is so much fun.

Any appointments this week?

Rants/raves/questions
- Almost done with the nursery! Finished his quilt and crib skirt and bumpers and some other little crafts. Just need one painting or print to hang above the changing station and I should be done!
GTKY: what is your best and worst quality?
-Best- I go into thinks 100%. Once I decide it's what I'm doing, it gets done. I don't half-ass.
-Worst- I have terrible anger issues. I have calmed considerably over the years but it's still my worst quality and gets me into trouble from time to time.
How many other children do you have?
2 boys - 8 and almost 5.
How far along are you?
28+6
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?
I was doing a little better with sleeping, but my insomnia has been back for most of the week. I'm getting heartburn more often now as well as aches and pains in my lower back. Overall, I'm still feeling okay.
Cravings:
Fruit and chocolate. Also, now that it's finally warm out, ice cream.
Any appointments this week?
I have a checkup on Friday.
Rant/Rave/Questions
I took my 3 hour GTT today. I had bad experiences in the past with this test and it actually went better than expected. I had the lime drink for the first time, which I thought was a little better than the orange one. My veins held up well for the first time and the woman was able to get samples from the same vein each time. They usually collapse so I was pleasantly surprised that I was only stuck once for each blood draw. My arm is totally bruised right now, but that's to be expected.
GTKY: what's your best and worst quality?
I'm pretty adaptable and tend to go with the flow. I think my easygoing nature is helpful both at work and in my personal life. My worst quality is probably my procrastination/lateness.
How many other children do you have?
1 DD she is 2.5
How far along are you?
31 +5
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?

Watermelon but really my cravings have been pretty minimal
Any appointments this week? Monday AND Friday. Monday the hematologist and Friday the regular OB.
Rant/Rave/Questions...
One week until vacation. Thank you Jesus.
GTKY: what's your best and worst quality? This is hard! I don't know if it's my absolute worst, but I tend to exaggerate things sometimes and I wish I wouldn't do that as much. My best quality...Im a pretty good planner and I also am a good cook. I feel like my answers are lame.
How many other children do you have? 1 DD (turns 3 tomorrow)
How far along are you? 32+4
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies? I've noticed my fingernails seem to be more "flat" across instead of curving more. This is so strange to me. Fatigued a lot faster than last time.
Cravings: Anything cold. I'm so hot since we've been in the 90's for over a week so I want no hot food.
Any appointments this week? Wednesday
Rant/Rave/Questions: We celebrated DD's 3rd birthday this weekend. Both sets of grandparents stayed here and I was so exhausted. Basically stood in the kitchen prepping/cooking food Friday and Saturday. My hips and lower back are sore now. Plus, I slept like crap since we went to a guest room upstairs (my dad can't do stairs well so they were in our room on the first floor). Ready for my bed back!
GTKY: what's your best and worst quality? Best: assertive Worst: I don't have a lot of compassion for things people go through that I can't relate to.
