Good morning all!  Sorry I'm a little late with this, cleaning the apartment to get ready for ILs visiting :)

1. How many weeks are you?/How big is baby? (Fruit/Veggie)

2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments?

3. GTKY: Have you been reading any pregnancy/childbirth/parenting books?  Do you plan to?

Happy 4th of July to my fellow Americans!

    1. How many weeks are you?/How big is baby? (Fruit/Veggie)  27/rutabaga!  That's, like, third trimester, right?

    2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments?  I had an appointment on Monday which included my glucose test.  I haven't heard back about that so hopefully no news is good news!
    -I'm feeling some really strong kicks/movement from baby boy.  Makes me happy :)
    -ILs are on their way for the holiday weekend--MIL, FIL, SIL and her boyfriend.  Pretty excited for a fun weekend!
    -I just found out my cousin (who was about ten weeks further along than me) just had her baby--three weeks early!  Apparently they didn't have much set up and hadn't settled on a name yet, but it sounds like mother and baby girl are both doing well.

    3. GTKY: Have you been reading any pregnancy/childbirth/parenting books?  Do you plan to?  I've had the Mayo Clinic book since before we even started TTC (sooo long ago).  I've recently started getting some childbirth, breastfeeding, and parenting books from the library.  So far I've read The Happiest Baby on the Block and The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth.

    I haven't participated in a ticker change thread for a long time!

    1. How many weeks are you?/How big is baby? (Fruit/Veggie) 27 weeks - rutabaga

    2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments? My back has been in a lot of pain lately, and I've been waking up in more pain then when I go to sleep; so that's cool. Cravings are all over the place and change constantly, but fresh steamed artichokes and 2% organic milk seem to be constants. No appointments this week, but I have my GD test next Tuesday!! :(

    3. GTKY: Have you been reading any pregnancy/childbirth/parenting books?  Do you plan to? I haven't, I feel like a slacker. I doubt that I'll really read any books, either. I have learned a lot from talking with friends with kids and reading the literature my doctors give me, though, so I know I won't enter motherhood at a complete loss.

    My girly is the size of an eggplant/cantelope. I am 24 weeks today, hello viability.

    Lots of kicks today. Captured her kicks for the first time on video. I have my 24 week appointment today, usually nervous for visits, but she's thumping away.

    I have not! I've been pinteresting the shiz out of this though. I'm confident that any level of preparedness DH and I think we have, we have NO clue what we are getting ourselves into as first time parents. Regardless, my online reading has been focused on breastfeeding, acclimating our dog into sibling-hood, and safety.

    25 weeks - Cauliflower! 

    I had my 24 week appointment Tuesday. I go in 4 weeks for the 1 hour GD test. Lil man has been super active lately and has the hiccups a lot. 

    I bought What to Expect for me and Dude, You're Gonna Be A Dad for Hubz. That's about it. Not really planning on reading a whole lot before hand. That's what parents, pediatricians and TB are for, right?!

    24 wks/cantaloupe!
    2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments?
    I hate being sick. I hate having bruises that literally stick around for months. I hate being made to feel unwanted because my primary care doctor decided to abandon me without warning. I hate that the career I care so much about has stopped caring about me. I hate feeling like a useless, invisible, fat cow.

    I've been reading What to Expect, but not very well.

    25 weeks!!

    1. How many weeks are you?/How big is baby? (Fruit/Veggie) 25 weeks, Cauliflower

    2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments? I have been craving any kind of fruit and pastry like foods. Talk about sugar overload. I have fought as best I can. I make smoothies with some greens in it as well so I'm not on fruit overload. 
    I have my glucose test on the 11th. Hopefully my sugar cravings haven't tipped me over.

    3. GTKY: Have you been reading any pregnancy/childbirth/parenting books?  Do you plan to? Eh...I still have my "What to Expect" book and reference it once in a while but I haven't read it like I did when I was pregnant with my first daughter.

    1. How many weeks are you?/How big is baby? (Fruit/Veggie) 26 Weeks/Head of Lettuce? Why do I feel like the only one due Oct 9?

    2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments? My hips have been hurting like crazy but I am super proud of myself for watching my eating and exercising this week! I've been making great decisions and my weight has gone down a bit and stabilized. (I was on track to gaining 10lbs a month before--now at 4lbs!)

    3. GTKY: Have you been reading any pregnancy/childbirth/parenting books? Do you plan to? I read a lot with my last pregnancy but not this time. I think we'll do a refresher as we get close to my due date--Bradley Method, probably.

    25 weeks! Cauliflower seems so big.

    I satisfied my sweet tooth every day on vacation. Cutting sugar now that we're back may be difficult. Discovered blue print's cashew milk in CA and was horrified to discover it's three times as expensive in NM.

    Appt on Tuesday.

    I read Happiest Baby on the Block, am still struggling through Pushed, and am gobbling up Anne Lamott's Operating Instructions.

    sorry i haven't been participating.  here goes:

    1. How many weeks are you?/How big is baby? (Fruit/Veggie) 27 weeks/ rutabaga!  

    2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments?  baby sitting on bladder today (or kicking it) giving me pangs and sudden urges to pee.  at my appt  this past monday, dr's office informed me i need to start coming every two weeks.  can't remember when this started w/ last baby but it seems early.  had glucose test as well and have not heard anything so assuming no news is good news.  got my t-dap shot and (like the last one i got 2 yrs ago) my arm/shoulder where it was injected was super sore.  today it's only sore if i touch the area directly.

    3. GTKY: Have you been reading any pregnancy/childbirth/parenting books?  Do you plan to?  i read 'what to expect...' w/ last baby and got it out again to re-read but that lasted a hot minute.  i did get DD a book on being a big sister and she loves it... hope it helps her get used to the idea :)
