etnyah

1. How many weeks? How big is baby? - 26, kale.

2. How are you feeling? - Good! Baby is extremely active lately and I’m loving the constant kicks. Even the ones that keep me awake. It’s so reassuring! 

3. Rants/Raves/Questions? - My dad offered to pay for our stroller! That’ll be a good chunk saved (that we’ll probably end up spending on diapers or whatever).

4. Any appts this week? - Nope, two weeks till next one. 

5. Favorite pregnant “bad” food? - I can’t get enough of fast food burgers and fries. McD’s and Dick’s (local chain) are my go-tos. It’s bad. Haven’t had any so far this week though!

1. How many weeks? How big is baby? 28 weeks, eggplant sized.

2. How are you feeling? Really tired, really big - I feel like I had another one of those overnight belly growth spurts a couple days ago.

3. Rants/Raves/Questions? THIRD TRIMESTER! Woot woot!

4. Any appts this week? 3-hr glucose test tomorrow (booo), follow-up growth scan on Friday (yay).

5. Favorite pregnant “bad” food? I’ve wanted to eat bacon this whole pregnancy. All the bacon. I’m pescatarian when I’m not pregnant, so it feels especially weird to me to want to eat bacon so much, lol.

26 weeks, kale

2. How are you feeling? Nausea with some vomiting has resurfaced and I'm feeling HUGE. Also a little gassy and tired. On the positive side: baby's kicks are relentless and my sex drive is back! Woohoo!

3. Rants/Raves/Questions? I legit thought something was wrong with the app because I could've sworn I was only 25 weeks today! Wow.

4. Any appts this week? Not until next week.

5. Favorite pregnant “bad” food? Everything I eat nowadays is bad, but I've been really into sweets like Trader Joe's Joe Joe sandwich cookies and Its It ice cream cookie sandwiches. FX I pass my GDM test next week.

Same. Feeling big, lower back hurts, and feeling lots of movement!

3. Rants/Raves/Questions? 
Lamaze class tonight. Last week's class was very informative and I was feeling pretty good about this whole birthing thing until we watched the drug-free natural birth video... now I'm more afraid! haha! I still am planning to attempt a drug-free birth, but I am trying to do everything I can to be prepared!! Unfortunately I don't think we can afford a doula though
Baby shower and Thanksgiving next week! Woohoo! Excited to be with family 

4. Any appts this week?
Nope, not til the 29th

27, lettuce

2. How are you feeling?
Really good! Lots of movement, seem to have more energy, enjoying being pregnant 

3. Rants/Raves/Questions? 
We finally got our new bedroom furniture delivered today! We've been married 5 years and in our house for a year, figured we should do it before baby comes because after we'd never spend the money on ourselves. It's so pretty

4. Any appts this week?
 last monthly appointment on Friday with the PA

5. Favorite pregnant “bad” food?
Cheese and bread! We were doing the 21 day fix since last October so basically no bread and limited cheese, that's gone by the way side since probably the end of summer, still using the recipes but being much more liberal with portions and additions of ingredients (like cheese on everything)

1. How many weeks? How big is baby?
28 weeks! Third trimester! Eggplant baby.

2. How are you feeling?
Back pain is manageable between physio, massage and chiropractic therapies. And yoga. Definitely getting more short of breath with the simplest things lol. Also stretch marks are beginning to show I think I made it so far.

3. Rants/Raves/Questions? 
Going to Hawaii in a couple weeks. I'm not the best flier so I wish I could be more excited. I'm nervous to travel but really wanting the break.

4. Any appts this week?
MW appointment Monday. Prenatal class tomorrow, which I'm excited for! Dragging DH along with me, he'll thank me later.

5. Favorite pregnant “bad” food?
Ben and Jerry's. And chocolate.

1. How many weeks? 26 How big is baby?kale

2. How are you feeling? So tired of puking and starving and not being able to eat most things and being exhausted.

3. Rants/Raves/Questions? See above lol

4. Any appts this week? No

5. Favorite pregnant “bad” food? Anything I can keep down! I used to have a few "safe" foods but apparently nothing is off limits anymore. Marshmallows were one of those but I discovered even if they come back up, they come up fairly easily with less choking and less acid than other things. TMI?

@MrsCaliRN I read GDM as "goddamn." Sounds about right
