I have my next appointment next Wednesday. Doctor promised it would be another "quick and boring" appointment. I like those Although the next appt will be the 36 week butt swab so I guess I better enjoy this last quick and boring.
We're still struggling with the loss of Molly the Bulldog. It feels so wrong to just continue normal life without her. I had a breakdown cooking dinner last night because she was constantly under my feet while I was cooking or in the kitchen for any reason and last night she wasn't there. Our poor lab mix is so scared, confused and lonely. She walks with her tail between her legs when it's time for bed or time for us to leave for work. Poor thing was probably laying with Molly as she took her last breaths.
Wow. Didn't mean to unload. But I'm leaving it. Therapy and all, yo.
I prefer apples. Pumpkin has never really done it for me.

1. How many weeks are you?/How big is baby? 35 Weeks, Coconut
2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments? Next appointment is a week from tomorrow and then it will be weekly appointments after. Rant: I'm definitely slowing down and feeling much more tired all of the time. This weekend was busy and fun, but has left me wanting to sit on the couch all day (which isn't practical with a 2yo). Rave: We're starting to get all of the baby stuff we have been planning to buy! Bought the going home outfits, a new diaper bag, and an ergo. Now I just need some new nursing bras!
3. GTKY: What do you prefer--apples or pumpkins? And if
neither, give a nice alternative. I love apple desserts! Cobbler, pie, and anything apple. However, I'm craving me some pumpkin this year--like pumpkin muffins and such. I'm so excited for fall flavors!
1. How many weeks are you?/How big is baby? (Fruit/Veggie) 34 weeks - butternut squash (at least I know this one!)
2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments? Let's see...heartburn is back in full force, I have THREE doctor appointments tomorrow (OB, GP and Chiro), I'm not craving anything really but all I want to eat is mozzarella sticks and calzones (maybe I'm craving cheese?). I really want to get a carrier for this LO. I don't want to use a stroller all the time if I don't have to but I also am not sure a carrier is easier than just keeping baby in the car seat and using the snap 'n go...decisions decisions...
3. GTKY: What do you prefer--apples or pumpkins? And if
neither, give a nice alternative Apples to eat, but the smell of pumpkin! Also, I will choose pumpkin pie over apple pie every single time!
1. Elsie is as big as a durian fruit/cauliflower. 33 weeks. She weighs between 4.3-5.8 lbs. holy cow!
2. Doing a kick count right now. She's been a slug all night and morning. Giving me some movement, so that's good. Appointment on Monday, and our shower on Saturday!!!!
3. oh yum! Weird, during my first tri, apples made me sick, but I'm back to eating tons of apples now. Starting at 16 weeks, I've been craving pumpkin! I've never eaten anything pumpkin. So I'm too freaked out to give in.
Anyone have an awesome recipe for pumpkin bars or something?
~First time mama, strikingly handsome husband, comedic pooch, krumpin' baby girl on her way~
Yes! Easy to make and a great crowd pleaser. As I said above, pumpkin doesn't really do it for me, but I easily ate 4 or 5 squares of this stuff. I think I have an adaptation recipe at home to make lemon gooey squares. I need to find that...

@Jennifer18131 I'm so sorry for your loss. I completely understand how the little things make you miss your furry friends. I hope your other pup feels better soon too.
@Pinkshades05 I love my Ergo Carrier. I would wear my son and zip up my jacket half way so I knew he was warm during the winter. I also found he slept really great while being walked around and I didn't have to worry about anyone touching or coughing on him.
1. How many weeks are you?/How big is baby? (Fruit/Veggie)
34 weeks! Butternut Squash.
2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments?
Getting big and achey. Finding myself winded more than I would like. My only complaint is I can't be as active as I would like. I'm typically go go go when it comes to things and lately I just want to take a million naps. I woke up craving french toast today. I want all the sweets in the world and lately cinnamon has been my thing. My next appointment is at 36 weeks and they will be doing the GBS swab and an ultrasound to see baby's position.
3. GTKY: What do you prefer--apples or pumpkins? And if neither, give a nice alternative
All things pumpkin! I still have an apple aversion from my first pregnancy where I would crave an apple a day and always throw it up immediately. I still can't handle them.
1. How many weeks are you?/How big is baby? (Fruit/Veggie) 36 HONEYDEW
2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments? pressure and cramps... Had an appt today up to 28 lbs gained yuck, and not dialated at all. Not that it means anything. Baby is head down and low. Belly is measuring exactly 36 weeks. Next appt is next Thursday. Thinking about scheduling a c-section 10/8 if he doesn't decide to come on his own terms. I refuse to be induced again.
3. GTKY: What do you prefer--apples or pumpkins? And if neither, give a nice alternative. Pumpkin... not the pie. We just made pumpkin cookies last night.
1. How many weeks are you?/How big is baby? (Fruit/Veggie)
32/ squash
2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments? Lots of contractions, was checked for labor this morning and we're all good. fetal fibronectin came back negative I'm really wanting a chickfila chicken sandwich right now! Next appointment is 1 week from today.

2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments? appt this coming monday- strep test and optional cervix check. i'm going to have the dr go ahead and check so there's something to compare against should the *need* to check my cervix arise. i have the dreaded summer cold along with DD. i can deal with the runny/stuffy nose but that irritation and tickle in my throat from post nasal drip is making my life miserable. i've tried water, cough drops, hot tea with honey, ice cream... still bothers me. keeps me up at night and the harder i try not to cough the worse it is. sorry to go off on a rant there. tater is still super active and causing interesting twinges when he kicks. some run down my leg and feel like it's falling asleep. when my tummy is contorting all ways as he moves around i try to get DH to look but tater calms right down then starts up again when DH looks away. it's crazy comical.
3. GTKY: What do you prefer--apples or pumpkins? And if neither, give a nice alternative i like both apples and pumpkins. pumpkin ravioli w/ browned butter and sage, yes please! apple crisp, MMMmmmmm! lots of yummy foods can be made with both so i'm all for it.
edit- can't see my answer to #3 but when i go into edit, it was there. weirdness.
36 weeks! Fatigued, such swollen feet--even my flip flops are tight. I have a nasty cough with chest congestion that came out of nowhere. No other cold symptoms. I go in for the dreaded swab today and some blood work. I'm so over being pregnant. I live pumpkin everything!!!! I meant love, but I suppose I live it too.
