1. How far along are you? How big is baby?
31 weeks - Asparagus. I really need to find a better list, because the last several weeks have all been foods I detest. Because it absolutely matters.  

2. How are you feeling?
At this very moment, pretty good. My mom came over today and helped me clean and organize some stuff, plus I finally went shopping for clothes for baby (huzzah for Once Upon a Child 70% off clearance!), so I'm feeling much more prepared than I did last week. But I've also been dealing with insomnia, heartburn, and some random illness, so tired, too.

3. Any appointments this week?
Yes, tomorrow, just a regular check-up. And then therapy on Thursday.

4. Rants, raves, questions?
Our insurance is fantastic about covering everything except mental health. Instead of just a basic co-pay, we have a 'co-insurance' (which I'd never even heard of before this). So, my therapist's office bills my insurance, who will pay a percentage, then send the rest back to my therapist's office, who then bill me. But, each appointment shows up as two separate charges on my bill, and my therapist's office has no idea why, plus the insurance company doesn't actually seem to be paying anything. So, dear insurance company, why why WHY is the only thing you're weird about mental health? Like, I already have enough problems there (hence the therapy), so could you just make it a little simpler for me? K, thanks. (What I really need to do is just call them, but that's scary.)

5. What are you currently craving?
CHOCOLATE.

2. How are you feeling?
Exhausted. Ive been drinking three cups of coffee before work everyday. Its been bad.

3. Any appointments this week?
Fri for blood sugar and general checkup

4. Rants, raves, questions?
Having horrible Charlie horses in my legs....wake me up at night and took like a full 10 mins of stretching and trying to walk around before they went away. As soon as I laid back down they tried to start again. Did not have this with the other 2.

5. What are you currently craving?

Mmmm....well Ive been eating a ton of bbq baked lays and baby bell light cheese

1. How far along are you? How big is baby?
31 weeks. 

2. How are you feeling?
Generally pretty great but by the end of the day I'm a beached whale on the couch. As a 4th grade teacher who doesn't stop all day I can't wait to sit down at the end of the day. My feet end up aching,  my lower back aches and my belly just feels heavy. Daily heart burn.

3. Any appointments this week?
Yesterday I saw my chiropractor.  Normal OB appointment on Friday 

4. Rants, raves, questions?
My breast pump that I ordered free via my insurance came in and so did my new nursing bra and that nipple cream everyone was talking about in the breastfeeding thread. Feeling more ready each week. 

5. What are you currently craving?
fruits,  veggies, chocolate

1. How far along are you? How big is baby?
31 weeks - small clawed otter and/or asparagus

2. How are you feeling?
Decent. Pelvic pain and general discomfort are definitely ramping up, and the heartburn is basically constant now, but overall I'm actually feeling pretty good still.

3. Any appointments this week?
Birth class is tomorrow, kind of looking forward to it. Mostly looking forward to poor DW's face (she's suuuper squeamish, and right now I'm taking my joy where I can find it lol)

4. Rants, raves, questions?
Just super thankful for insurance right now (holy shit, diabetes test strips are ridiculously expensive).

5. What are you currently craving?
Grapefruit, which is super fun with the heartburn, but I keep doing it anyway.

1. How far along are you? How big is baby? - 31 weeks, asparagus

2. How are you feeling? - Good, just a little tired

3. Any appointments this week? - None this week.  My next one is January 25.

4. Rants, raves, questions? - We are renovating our basement and our contractor is supposed to start next week.  We'll be adding 500 extra square feet of living space in our house which I am majorly excited about, but right now things are a mess and I'm getting very stressed about getting the house put back together before the baby is here.  I did start going through and washing some of DD's old baby clothes today, which made me feel better.

5. What are you currently craving? - Fruit and cheese, namely parmesan and sharp cheddar.  I am munching on frozen raspberries as I write this.
