Still craving chocolate shakes, all the time.
My H's grandma did end up passing away. It's very sad of course, but I think the whole family is feeling relief that her suffering is over now. ❤ I'm so glad we went out last week to say goodbye (and I secretly told her the baby's name, which we won't be sharing... I haven't even told my H yet that I did this, but I know he'll be glad I did). We have the visitation and funeral this week, which is always emotionally draining. But at the same time, I'm looking forward to seeing that side of the family. The silver linings, I guess, is that the whole family will be together. It will be nice to see the family, and also spend some time with my ILs new puppy. Also super selfish pregnant lady confession: I'm looking forward to eating Portillos since we'll be near one. I'm so terrible, I know!
every time I look in the nursery, I feel overwhelmed by what i need to do. Sigh... I keep telling myself I have time, but I also know that I only have a few more weeks before I won’t be able to bend up and down anymore 😪

@prpl11butterfly, I just had fresh cherries for pretty much the first time recently, and OMG are they good! I had no idea. I grew up with a cherry tree in our yard, and those cherries were too tart for me, so I always assumed I didn't care for fresh cherries. Turns out our cherry tree just wasn't great and didn't produce the sweet kind. I can't believe I missed out on such a tasty healthy snack all these years!
Theyll start manually checking position around 28/30w. They’ll press on your stomach to feel her position and tell you. It’s not common to get an ultrasound to solely confirm they’re head down. It’s usually only to confirm being breech before doing a c section

Now, to contradict myself - @galentine So sorry to hear about YH's grandmother, but I do hope your family can find peace and comfort in celebrating her together. Also, as a fellow Portillo's junkie I'm happy you get to indulge!

@jenferlee82 I lived in Colorado for most my life and had no idea that “Colorado peaches” were a thing!! It must be a western slope crop.
@galentine So sorry about YH's grandma
@cmbt2 @jenferlee82 I'm also wanting to start getting stuff ready (even though we still have lots of time) because I NEED A CLEAN HOUSE DARN IT!!

Also I'm glad you are using Virginia! Is the first name decided/are you going to tell us??
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green (and share name if you feel comfortable): Blue! 💙
Upcoming Appointments: I need to schedule my glucose test/next appt
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): Pre-pregnancy I couldn’t eat (most) dairy or things that are tomato-based but for the last few months I’ve been doing fine with pizza. Until last week, and now last night. I have the worst acid reflux I’ve ever had 🤢 So gross. No more pizza for me!
Rants/Raves: My family’s vacation isn’t off to a great start. It rained all morning and they’re calling for it all week. My husband set up our 8x8’ canopy tent for me to sit under on the beach and the wind destroyed it and I can’t handle the heat in the sun. I’m trying not to get super discouraged. We do have a pool so I can spend time there if nothing else but I’ve been looking forward to sitting with my feet in the sand and a good book!
Questions: For those who take Zantac daily, how much do you take? I’ve been taking 75mg as needed but I know 150 is okay. Do you take 150 once or twice per day?
GTKY: Fave summer snack? It’s not a snack but corn on the cob is my favorite!
When we put DS2 on Zantac, the pediatrician explained it like this- on a manufacturing line, you have the corporate office that tells the plant to produce the product, and then you have the plant that is producing. Zantac (and Pepcid) works by intercepting at the corporate office and saying “stop!” before it reaches the plant. It can take a little while for the command to reach the plant. Prevacid and Prilosec work by running straight to the plant and going “halt production!!”

Baby is the size of a(n) / interesting fact: Paper airplane, though I can't say that's fair. Depends on the size of the paper. 😉

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green (and share name if you feel comfortable): Holding steady on team green! 💚
Upcoming Appointments: No more until July 2
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): Overall pretty good! My entire pelvic region is sore when I stand up (especially the tailbone), but it eventually fades a bit. My feet hurt, I have a light pregnancy line, and I'm getting new, non-puberty stretch marks. My energy is decent about every other day or so, which is very welcome! I wake up multiple times a night to pee and/or change my night gown and get a towel for my sweatiness. Truthfully, I'll still take all these symptoms over morning sickness!
I'm still somewhat craving spicy food, and I want all the sweets I can get my hands on. I've always enjoyed ice cream, but like once, maybe twice a week. My husband is loving that I "need" it nearly every day these days. This baby is definitely another Mini Moo! 🐮
Rants/Raves: Things are finally coming together with our attempt to move out of our old house. It's been way too long of a process! My husband came home with a Uhaul yesterday and a couple of his friends came over. They were going to move the old fridge that the owners left here to the old house (we didn't want it and it'll help the value of the old house), but when he came back, I was expecting maybe a few boxes. Nope. My incredible husband and his amazing friends got my outdoor tables, outdoor rug, hammock, and deck box for me! My husband said, "I know your outdoor things would make you happy, so we got as much as we could." I was so happy! I love these guys! 💛💛💛
Questions: Shoot. I had one and forgot it. I normally have a steel trap for a memory, but recently it's been garbage (or as my husband likes to say, a wooden trap).
GTKY: Fave summer snack? All the fruits! But that's really a year-round thing for me. Give me all the veggies and fruits you have! I don't know the word moderation with respect to these things. Oops.
Edited to correct my weeks/days. 🤦
@melanier26 so sorry you’re having heart burn! Have you tried Zantac? It’s helping me way more than tumms. You just have to take it every 12 hours. (I’m taking 150 twice a day)

GTKY: Fave summer snack?
@galentine I'm so sorry about YH's grandmother. I'm so glad you guys got to spend those last moments with her.
@jenferlee82 Oh that snack sounds awesome!! My Aunt and Uncle's Farm does donut peaches and they are so yummy I bet that would be great. They can just get too sweet sometimes

Upcoming Appointments: the 17th to see Doc and next US is July 5th.
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): Sleeping is ….I restless, and I’ve been waking up earlier which is great but just odd.
Rants/Raves: Rant: I have too much to do…. Rave: I’m going to see my pseudo parents on Sunday and cannot wait. They’re one of my best friends parents and they absolutely love DD and are so good to us. Were going for a father’s day/birthday BBQ, I just can’t wait to see them.
Questions: Baby Facts Pools: We want to do a pool/game at work to guess gender and all that stuff but I don’t know if I can hold this secret for very long. So I’m not sure if we should just do guesses no like weight and length, etc…what do you guys think? We didn’t do this at my last job when I was pregnant with DD.
GTKY: Fave summer snack? Rita’s Water Ice or Custard
My workmate threw out the length of labor one when his gf had an emergency c section when her BP skyrocketed and baby was still breeched at 38w (they didn’t want to risk a version followed by induction), so they’re planning DOB and weight/length for DD.

I sat in my chair, placed one ice pack on the top of my stomach, and as he tried to twist away, I took another one and followed his head. He eventually gave a giant roll and then kicked off the ice pack. He went transversed a few days later, so I again chased him with the ice pack back to head down. He learned his lesson to stay head down lol. My MW taught me what his head felt like so I could identify it.

Pretty Good. No Symptoms, besides having some hip pain at night.
White Nectarines.
You’ll have a growth scan in your 30th (something) week. They’ll be able to tell you how big your baby is and what to expect “weight wise” when you deliver and they’ll be able to see if she’s head down.

My OB with DS1 would do one once you were admitted for an induction as a precaution, but that’s not standard
