Nothing really new.  I've been waking up starving, which is kind of annoying because I don't eat right away especially during the week.

None this week- had my appt last Tuesday and all is well.  My next appt is my last 4 week appt!  I go down to every 2 weeks after that, which is crazy.  Have to go for my glucose test before then.

None really, except the indigestion and vomit burps are starting to get old.
What time of year do you typically most look forward to and why?
I LOVE the summer.  I love the heat, the sunshine, the clothes, not having to worry about being cold, the freedom, the atmosphere.  Yes, I hate the bugs, but it's a small price to pay and only lasts a short while.  Cannot wait for warm weather.

How far along today? How big is baby? 23 weeks - Grapefruit? That doesn't seem right...

New/Interesting/Festering Symptoms So tired but I think it has more to do with the time change.

Random Questions Nope.

Rants/Raves DS has his first cold and it such a bummer to see him suffering. I've been using the Nose Frida, which works wonders, but he haaaaaates it. Screams bloody murder every time. I'm just hoping he will get over it quickly. 

What time of year do you typically most look forward to and why? It changes throughout the year! In the dead of winter, I can't wait for summer and vice versa. Although, I love Spring and Fall more and really look forward to those. And if I had to pick one, Fall. The crisp feeling in the air, the changing of the leaves, getting cozy at home with a fire and a good book. LOVE it.

I am soooo happy to be past the half way Mark! The first half dragged, now that I am really enjoying pregnancy,  I worry it's going to fly by too fast!! 
What time of year do you typically most look forward to and why?
Usually fall. Pumpkin picking, Apple picking, fall festivals, roasted buttery seasoned corn on a stick, earthy colors, my birthday,  Halloween, new boots and fall clothing, that autumn smell in the cool air, hot Apple cider donuts, thanksgiving planning. Though, now, summer has a brand new happiness for us all!!

I have no clue how I’m going to take care of a newborn and a 2.5 year old, and 3 dogs, AND a house and husband. I’m already drowning. My house is a constant mess, and not just a little bit, like full blown mess. I do the dishes, my son pulls everything off the kitchen table and my dog pisses on the floor. It’s a constant never ending circle and I can’t grt caught up. On days when I actually get the energy to fully clean, it only stays that way for 2 days and goes back to looking like a borderline episode of hoarders (ok maybe not that bad- but that’s what I feel like). On top of this, my husband is pressuring me to go back to work- like now. I was taken out of work at 34 weeks with my son for preterm labor and while I know every pregnancy is different, this one feels worst than before. My BHs have started sooner, I constantly have a stomach ache, my hips and back (and pelvic region) are in so much pain it hurts to walk, and to top it off, I get no sleep at night. Maybe 5 hours. Ugh. I’m just complaining. I’m so stressed out and my husband doesn’t even understand and I have no one else to talk to. Just disregard. Others have it worst. 
What time of year do you typically most look forward to and why?
Right now I’m looking forward to spring/summer and in summer I’ll look forward to fall. Our winters are harsh and long (it’s still snowing almost daily) and our summers are hot and humid. I love being outdoors, so basically any time that’s comfortable outside, I’m looking forward to.

Rant: My husbands family is driving me nuts.  His parents went on vacation for a month and he has an ill uncle, 2 older aunts and a 86 year old grandmother.  AKA lots of our plate especially with the recent snow storm and power outages.  We had to take in his grandmother for a night (no big deal) but then since his parents are away we had to clean out their whole fridge and freezer and his uncle needs power to supply his bed due to him being ill so that was a run around.

One aunt lives in CA and the other in GA and they think by them visiting they are being helpful however the constant 45-1 hour trips back and forth to the airport etc are just getting nuts, especially when they come in during rush hour.  Have they driven in rush hour in Boston?! And my husband is going in for surgery this Thursday which means from here on out it will all fall on me.  End Rant.

What time of year do you typically most look forward to and why?

Months June-October aka Summer and Fall.  I just absolutely hate the cold/snow/rain.

Nothing too new. Feeling baby more from the outside. Trying to get DH to feel, but every time he puts his hand on my belly she stops kicking.
