How are you feeling today? Very sore, we did yard work yesterday and I am feeling it. My latest symptom (for the past two weeks) is feeling "achy". I know your joints get swell/ache during pregnancy, but I feel like such an old lady! I get off the couch and can barely walk because my hips, etc hurt so bad.
Rants/Randoms: UGH just can't wait until our anatomy scan a week from today!! The wait is killing me.
GTKY: Do you have any phobias? I have a social phobia (social anxiety disorder). I get very overwhelmed anticipating having to speak to people (especially strangers) be around people, etc. I used to control with medicine and therapy, now I've been just avoiding, but it's mostly under control. Then I have my made up phobias like the fear of coins. Ugh the feeling, the smell, I always make cashier's put the coins inside the return bill change so I don't have to touch it. Or if I'm with DH I make him take the change. Or I pay exclusively with plastic lol.
Feelings / Rants: I'm feeling generally okay but I've started having little twinges, or sort of rubbing sensations that border on pain. Def from the inside/ute but quick and not lasting or burning in any way. I'm a little worried since I've been lucky to not have much sensation to date. Going to doctor anyways tomorrow so hopefully she can explain.
I've also got a sweet rash that looks like hives on my boobs and butt. I don't think its PUPPS but again, doc will confirm. I assume if its PUPPS it will itch and this looks awful but doesn't feel like anything.
Argh. :-q
Phobias: Mirrors and paintings of people.
Edit: The phobias relate only to my own house or somewhere I'm sleeping, not museums or other people's houses in general.

How are you feeling today? My lower abdomen is so sore but this is apparently normal according to my OB. I am definitely starting to feel stretched out in that area. It's weird not to be able to suck it in anymore.
Rants/Randoms: This is an incredibly busy week for me. My great-aunt (grandpa's SIL) passed away on Friday night, so we have a wake tonight, a funeral tomorrow, our anatomy scan on Wednesday morning, an apartment showing Wednesday night, and our wedding is on Saturday. I need a nap just writing that out.
GTKY: Do you have any phobias? Boats. I hate being on boats. I have been known to have complete meltdowns while on a boat in choppy water and I think the last time was in 2011 or so. I'm not afraid of water, so I'm not sure why I'm freaked out by boats, but there it is.
Me: 30 | DH: 4/12/85 - 6/16/14 | Quinn Patrick born 9/28/14
How are you feeling today? I am still feeling pretty normal except random twinges here and there.
Rants/Randoms: Just had my checkup and got to hear the heartbeat again Scheduled the anatomy scan for next Friday (eek!) and I am hoping my husband can make it. They didn't have many times available and none of the times he'd asked me to try and get
GTKY: Do you have any phobias? I'm pretty dang scared of tornadoes. Also I have issues with the phone...
Feeling: So tired. I woke up at 2:30 this morning and couldn't get back to sleep, despite being so tired that I started crying around 4:00.
Rants: I have to work a lot this week. Today will possibly be a 12-hour day, as will Wednesday, and then I'll have to work on Saturday, too. It will probably be about an extra 16 hours on top of my normal 40.
GTKY: I panic in crowded, confined spaces, like being stuck at the back of a full elevator. I also have some social anxiety, a hand washing/sanitizing compulsion, and a strong dislike of odd numbers. I get ridiculously pissed when I get in my car and find that my husband has turned the volume to 9 or 11!
How are you feeling today? I'm finding it hard to breathe and catch my breath lately. I know it's because the baby's growing - but I feel like I need an oxygen mask sometimes! Also - SUPER ANXIOUS - we find out boy or girl in one week!
Rants/Randoms: DH is a little annoyed with me because I went shopping again for maternity clothes and spent $200. Sorry, but A) they are expensive and I'm pregnant, what the hell do you expect me to wear??? I should be pretty much set for the summer until I stop fitting into some of these clothes.
GTKY: Do you have any phobias? Spiders, bees/wasps, heights and ice skates (always worried I or someone else will get sliced from the blades!)
How are you feeling today? A bit sore, but DH and I ran errands almost all day on Saturday so I am still recovering from that.
Rants/Randoms: Still annoyed at people's inability to RSVP - especially immediate family members. DH's parents couldn't be bothered to RSVP to DH's grandmother's birthday celebration.
GTKY: Do you have any phobias? No full blown phobias. I have a strong dislike of bees and wasps and I make DH take care of bugs inside of our house.

Rants/Randoms: Yesterday I had the most extreme exhaustion I have ever felt! My body felt like I had run a marathon and hadn't eaten in 5 days! Like I was going to collapse and pass out. I slept for 13 hours and woke feeling a little bit better What a terrible night.. I cried for about an hour.
GTKY: Do you have any phobias? I don't really have any phobias but I have a thing against glitter...
How are you feeling today? Feeling fine today. Tired from a non stop weekend but fine all around. Rants/Randoms: Because I had a non stop weekend the house is a wreck. All I want to do is sit on the couch and relax. GTKY: Do you have any phobias? Spiders and fear of suffocating. I don't like to go under water when I swim because I can't breath and I really really freak out if someone dunks me. I don't even like washing my face off in the shower because of the water over my face.
How are you feeling today? Ummm, I have Shingles AND a sinus infection...not so great! @archi35 I envy your rash! I've had the rash since Easter and the sinus infection just over a week now. I'm over it!
Rants/Randoms: I just wish I would feel better soon!
GTKY: Do you have any phobias? Other people's dogs that I don't know. I got bit by a dog when I was 8, and ever since then, I am terrified of dogs I don't know coming up to me. I hate Petsmart!
How are you feeling today? Meh. Tired, but not too sick or anything.
Rants/Randoms: I am so so sick of not being able to get a job in education. Just because I teach a subject dominated by males who coach, I have practically zero chance of getting a job because when they do (rarely) open up, they're saved for the new football/basketball/whatever coach. I was asked how the job hunt was going 3 times today, and I know people mean well, but it just makes me sad and feel like a failure. It's stressing me out and now I wonder if I'd be better off just staying home.
GTKY: Do you have any phobias? Not really. I don't like being in huge crowds, and I HATE being too warm in a car, probably because I get carsick.
