Mrs.DeliaMarieP · September 2012

Anyone have any upcoming appointments, tests or T&P requests? Nope, not this week.

Milestones or new symptoms: just a big belly!

Question(s) of the Day:

1. What's the weirdest craving you've had? It's weird that I haven't had any cravings, really. I'm not even half as hungry this time as I was with DS.

2. What's your go-to piece of maternity clothing? yoga pants, they just made their debut for this pregnancy yesterday. My work scrub pants are starting to get a bit uncomfortable now (won't stay up, feel like my pubes are showing even though I know they're not), so once my longer shirts come in the mail, the yoga pants might make a work appearance soon.

3. What's the strangest pregnancy dream you've had? I dreamed that zombies were trying to get in my house one night, and we were trying to hide from them and keep them out. Also, it was my childhood house, not the house I live in now.

ETA: LOVE the new portrait of Lea, she is so precious!!

smileytr, ilenegrace, how were your appointments this week?
Well, I'm officially on maternity leave. I've been having a lot of pre-term contractions and my doctor put me on moderate bed rest and leave. Today is the first day and I'm already bored.

Anyone have any upcoming appointments, tests or T&P requests?

Milestones or new symptoms:

Question(s) of the Day:
1. What's the weirdest craving you've had? A brownie with hot fudge and gummi bears on it.
2. What's your go-to piece of maternity clothing? When I was working, it was a blue and white striped shirt. Now it's a pair of PJ pants.
3. What's the strangest pregnancy dream you've had? I had a dream that was an entire episode of a TV show I like. I made up the plot of the episode but it was like a full episode - and a good one too!

smileytr, how was your appointments this week? Excellent! I passed my GD test, the heart rate was 155 bpm, I'm feeling good, and everything seems to be going well!

Anyone have any upcoming appointments, tests or T&P requests? Just another childbirth class next week. So far I've found them to be really useful.

Milestones or new symptoms: LOTS of kicking! Also, I think I had BH yesterday for the first time. Thankfully they went away after ~30 min.

Question(s) of the Day:

1. What's the weirdest craving you've had? Nothing weird, but in first tri I had very specific cravings. For instance, one night I looked at DH and said, "I have to have a Big Mac for dinner. No other burger will do - it has to be a Big Mac." HA!

2. What's your go-to piece of maternity clothing? I have this black shirt with sort of swirly fabric down the front that I just love. I think it's from Kohl's.

3. What's the strangest pregnancy dream you've had? This is really bizarre: In my dream, my cousin had just given birth to twins, but instead of being human they were earth worms. She asked me if I could breastfeed them because she could not for some reason. I tried, but I couldn't, and I woke up feeling really horrible that I couldn't help my cousin. So weird!

Anyone have any upcoming appointments, tests or T&P requests?
Have a regular appointment on Monday. Going to request another ultrasound if possible - I've only gained 3 lbs so far and am hoping baby is growing ok, so I'd like to be able to put my mind at ease if possible. Plus, I'm pretty sure DD is laying transverse/breech and I know it's still early and she can turn, she has never once flipped around yet.

Milestones or new symptoms:
I hit 29 weeks yesterday and am STARVING 24/7 all of the sudden!

Question(s) of the Day:

1. What's the weirdest craving you've had?
No weird cravings. Just starving non-stop.

2. What's your go-to piece of maternity clothing?
My jeans with the Secret fit panel and my 3/4 sleeve sweater that I got a few weeks ago. For at home, it's yoga pants and a comfy shirt.

3. What's the strangest pregnancy dream you've had?
Too many to name them all. Mostly, I'm late to get somewhere and can't get there and end up driving all over crazy places in a huge truck.

Anyone have any upcoming appointments, tests or T&P requests?

Nope, but I did pass my GD test!! Woo hoo!

Milestones or new symptoms:
Like most of you I'm sure, I start going every 2 weeks instead of 4, what a milestone! New symptoms, horrendous back and leg pain. Also, his kicks and punches have become very painful at times, almost takes my breath away. But it is all worth it!

Question(s) of the Day:

1. What's the weirdest craving you've had?

Orange juice with crushed ice in a mason jar. Lol...

2. What's your go-to piece of maternity clothing?

My maternity yoga pants I got from Kohls.

3. What's the strangest pregnancy dream you've had?
I dreamt that my cats got loose and I had to chase them around the neighborhood. When I got them back, they were talking to me and telling me all about their adventures! Lol
