Week? Fruit/Veggie? 26/lettuce
How are you Feeling? pretty good, feeling "big" though
Upcoming appointments? Updates? Glucola test yet? I have my last monthly appointment (including the Glucola test) in about 2 weeks
Rants? Raves? We took my parents to an elective 3d/4d ultrasound this weekend--it was a lot of fun, but baby did not cooperate at all! She was breech and kept her hand in front of her face almost the whole time. I got a couple of cute pics, but not nearly as many as I would like. I know I still have tons of time left, but I'm getting a little worried that LO has been breech at the last two ultrasounds.
GTKY: Are you watching the Olympics? Favorite sport/team/athlete/event? I LOVE the Olympics! I'm not too hot on Russia or some of their policies, but I'm trying to focus on the athletes/games. I like figure skating (I used to skate when I was younger) and all the skiing events. I love the American ice dancers Meryl Davis and Charlie White--they are awesome and I hope they win gold!Week? Fruit/Veggie? 28/eggplant
How are you Feeling? very tired. Peanut is very active at night, and so is my bladder.
Upcoming appointments? Updates? Glucola test yet? I never heard back about my GTT, so I guess "no news is good news"...? I have a follow-up U/S this Thursday to check on a calcification spot on Peanut's liver. I'm praying that it's still nothing.
Rants? Raves? This isn't really a rant or a rave - more of a point of concern. Peanut is still in the breech position, so I have been doing my exercises to help him/her get turned. Hopefully, Thursday's U/S will show improvement in fetal positioning.
GTKY: Are you watching the Olympics? Favorite sport/team/athlete/event? I always loved watching the Olympics! However, DH and I made the decision to eleminate TV as part of our lifestyle. Literally, we do not even own a TV. I'm missing it, but I'm getting my fix through new updates and photos online.Hey!
Week? Fruit/Veggie? 28 / eggplant
How are you Feeling? I'm feeling ok, I've been having some mild cramping though. Upping my water intake and I'll make sure to bring it up to my midwife.
Upcoming appointments? Updates? Glucola test yet? I have an appointment with the midwife at my practice on Wednesday, and I'm pretty excited to meet her! I passed my Glucola test, but they found that I'm slightly anemic from the other 28 week bloodwork. Working on eating more iron so that I don't have to take supplements. I'm already mildly constipated, and I do not want to make it worse!
Rants? Raves? Rant: work stinks, can't wait for maternity leave. Rave: Excited to meet my midwife!
GTKY: Are you watching the Olympics? Favorite sport/team/athlete/event? We don't have cable, so I am not watching the Olympics this year unless it's on at someone else's house. I love to watch figure skating!Week? Fruit/Veggie? Week 28/Eggplant (woohoo 3rd tri!)
How are you Feeling? Feeling enormous at times and uncomfortable. My mid-back has started to hurt and legs are definitely getting more crampy.
Upcoming appointments? Updates? Glucola test yet? Next appointment is tomorrow.
Rants? Raves? Raves: We are leaving for our babymoon on Wednesday to Hawaii!! Can't wait! Rants: I've been trying to pack and NOTHING fits. Very discouraging although thank goodness some of my clothes have an empire waist so I can still wear those.
GTKY: Are you watching the Olympics? Favorite sport/team/athlete/event? Definitely been watching the Olympics. Of course figure skating is on there and I'm cheering for Kim Yu-Na of South Korea! Everyone else of course I'm rooting for the U.S. particularly for men's & women's snowboarding: slopestyle and half pipe. Go Shaun White!!Week? Fruit/Veggie? 25 / cauliflower?
How are you Feeling? Besides the nasty cold, and feeling tired, and waddling around, I'm pretty good. LOVE feeling more baby kicks
Upcoming appointments? Updates? Glucola test yet? I see my OB on Wednesday. Nothing else really going on.
Rants? Raves? Rants- I'm tired of this stupid snow and I've had a cold that is draining the life out of me. Raves- i bought the paint for the nursery so we're going to give that a go this weekend
GTKY: Are you watching the Olympics? Favorite sport/team/athlete/event? I usually love the Olympics, but I'm just not feeling it this year. I'm really much more of a summer sport girl anyway, but the issues in Russia are completely turning me off and there just doesn't seem to be much excitement on the US end for anyone or any sport in particular.DD born 2/3/03

Week? Fruit/Veggie?
Week 27! Rutabaga - I don't really know what that is/have never eaten one?
How are you Feeling?
Great! I don't know if I'm just getting better at being pregnant, but I'm definitely enjoying the last of my 2nd trimester.
Upcoming appointments? Updates? Glucola test yet?
I did my glucose test on Saturday, no biggie. I think the worst part is the huge bruise the lab tech left on my arm from the blood draw
But it didn't hurt while she was doing it, so I guess I lucked out with just a bruise.
I have an ultrasound on Thursday and my next OB appointment the same day. I'll get my glucose test results - I hope I pass! It will also be nice to see baby again, I think he's grown a lot over the past week because his movements are slowing down a bit, he's running out of room already!
Rants? Raves?
Rave: We went to stay at my in-laws last night and they bought a pack-and-play (the one from my registry) for their house (they are over an hour away) for the guest room! It was all set up next to "our" bedI thought that was really cute!
GTKY: Are you watching the Olympics? Favorite sport/team/athlete/event?
Week? Fruit/Veggie?: 28/Eggplant - yay for official 3rd trimester!
How are you Feeling?: Pretty good, just tired. Can't seem to sleep for more than 30-60 minutes at a time. Also, my prenatal vitamins are still making me throw up. Going to ask the OB about that ....
Upcoming appointments? Updates? Glucola test yet?: 28-week appointment is tomorrow - complete with Glucola! I normally have a giant sweet tooth, but this whole pregnancy having a 'sweet' taste in my mouth has made me feel nauseated. Just hoping to keep the stuff down for the whole hour ...
Rants? Raves?: Rant is serious pregnancy brain failures all over the place. I'm pretty sure I threw away some chicken last night that was supposed to go in the fridge ... Rave is that we're steadily getting things done for the nursery - All cleaned out and painted. Now all it needs is flooring put in and furniture put together!
GTKY: Are you watching the Olympics? Favorite sport/team/athlete/event?: Does following #SochiProblems count? Seriously, I'm about the least interested in sporting events as it can get, unless it has to do with the NFL, and more specifically the Steelers.How are you Feeling? Good, other than major pelvic floor pain most of the time.
Upcoming appointments? Updates? Glucola test yet? Appt in a few weeks
Rants? Raves? Raves: 3rd tri! Only about 3 months to go!
GTKY: Are you watching the Olympics? Favorite sport/team/athlete/event? Normally I do watch but we don't have regular tv and I haven't looked to see if the xbox has any Olympics on it.
How are you Feeling? Feeling good, mild cramping and heartburn.
Upcoming appointments? Updates? Glucola test yet? Appointment on Thursday, hoping they tell me I can go to twice a day testing, rather than four.
Rants? Raves? Nada.
GTKY: Are you watching the Olympics? Favorite sport/team/athlete/event?
I periodically watch, I like that Sage guy from USA. I'm excited to watch figure-skating.
Week? Fruit/Veggie?
28, eggplant
How are you Feeling?
Like I wanna AW the crap out of my 3D U/S photos, but I'm refraining...for now. >>'
Upcoming appointments? Updates? Glucola test yet?
Just had an appointment today, it had it's ups and downs. I got to see baby girl on an U/S today and the tech put it in 3D mode. Love that tech.
Then, I got the the Tdap and Rhogam shots. Those weren't so much fun. Passed glucose test (surprisingly, considering I had a box of chocolates prior to testing).
Rants? Raves?
Maybe more whiney than rantey, but my shot sites friggin' hurt! The nurse missed during my Rhogam shot and had to try again. Now I look funny when I try and sit down.
GTKY: Are you watching the Olympics? Favorite sport/team/athlete/event?Week? Fruit/Veggie? Week 25, rutabaga
How are you Feeling? Fine. A little more heartburn, a lot more farting.
Upcoming appointments? Updates? Glucola test yet? Nothing new here.
Rants? Raves? Rave: We got cable tv today. We "cut the cord" a few years ago but we really only save $15 a month when you factor in Hulu+, Netflix, MLB TV and buying 1-2 shows per year on iTunes. Our viewing habits changed for the better after we got rid of cable (no more mindless channel surfing) so I hope that will continue. But with the great deals we can get as new customers, we'll actually be saving money for the next 12 months. Plus my husband cannot live without baseball games & while MLB tv is OK, you still have local blackouts so he had to get creative to be able to watch the A's and Giants. He loves baseball so much, I actually think it will make this first summer with the baby more enjoyable. He can just flip on a game & hang out with the baby.
GTKY: Are you watching the Olympics? Favorite sport/team/athlete/event? I don't really like the Olympics.Week? Fruit/Veggie? Week 27 (which I totally thought was the beginning of 3rd tri but everyone here is saying 28...???)... rutabaga.
How are you Feeling? No real complaints. Big and awkward, but besides that.
Upcoming appointments? Updates? Glucola test yet? I've got my next appt. on Thursday, which will include a big Rhogam shot in the ass. Woohoo. Had the glucola a few weeks ago, and passed
Rants? Raves? Rant: ERMAGHERD I'm so busy this week... Rave: ...But with stuff that includes exciting work on our new house, so that's cool!
GTKY: Are you watching the Olympics? Favorite sport/team/athlete/event? Haven't honestly been watching it.Week? Fruit/Veggie? I am 25 weeks and someone else said this is a rutebega:)
How are you Feeling? Aside from a nasty cold I am good. Vericose veins and starting to bother me so I have had to bust out the sexy compression hose.
Upcoming appointments? Updates? Glucola test yet? I don't have an appointment until 28 week appointment on March 5. I will prob so my glucose test that day.
Rants? Raves? I am so tired of illness in my house. We have all been sick since New Years! Ready for spring. Rave-it Us supposed to be 60 degrees here on Wednesday.
GTKY: Are you watching the Olympics? Favorite sport/team/athlete/event? I do love the Olympics but haven't really watched it yet. I love the snowboarding, skiing and ice skating.
