  Mar 2015, 25+6, cauliflower
  
  2. Age at delivery? (optional)

  35

  Nope
  
  4. How are you feeling?

  I'm feeling OK.  I'm having some RLP on and off, but have more energy overall.
  
  5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?

  Waiting for GD test results.
  
  QOTW:  With our various symptoms (fatigue, pain, nausea, sleeping more etc), it's hard to get everything we want to do done.  What are you prioritizing, and what's taking a hit?

  I'm prioritizing:

  Sleep

  Diet, now that the nausea is gone

  Exercise, now that I don't want to lie on the couch all the time

  
  

  Taking a hit:

  Work

  Socializing (if it weren't for this board, I'd be going stir crazy)

  Chores (almost caught up!)

  1. Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
  Jan16th, 33weeks, Durian? Never heard of that one before.
  
  2. Age at delivery? (optional) 36
  
  3. Any other children? Furbabies?
  3 girls, a dog and a hamster
  
  4. How are you feeling?
  Not bad. I ache a lot. Hurts riding/driving for too long. And yesterday the BH contractions were rampant. I think from all the driving.
  
  5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
  I don't have to go back until the 18th. And I don't have to test but every couple days. (GD). So I enjoyed some pie yesterday but didn't over do it. I hate to go crazy after doing so well with my weight gain.
  
  QOTW: With our various symptoms (fatigue, pain, nausea, sleeping more etc), it's hard to get everything we want to do done. What are you prioritizing, and what's taking a hit?
  I mopped the other day. That was good for me since it usually hurts to do it. But it helps having 3 girls that can help with the cleaning.

  1. Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
  Jan 24, 2015; 31+6; pineapple
  
  

  2. Age at delivery? (optional)
  37
  
  

  3. Any other children? Furbabies?
  Nope
  
  

  4. How are you feeling?
  OK - some days are better than others.  
  
  

  5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
  32 week appt is coming up this week.  No milestones, rants or raves (unless ranting about in-laws counts - but will spare you all that since I am sure most have the same - ranting about family or in-laws over the holidays is to be expected)
  
  

  QOTW:  With our various symptoms (fatigue, pain, nausea, sleeping more etc), it's hard to get everything we want to do done.  What are you prioritizing, and what's taking a hit? Getting as much exercise / activity as I would like has definitely taken a hit due to the pain I am in.  And looking for a job - though a big part is due to realizing at this point I should wait until after baby arrives.

  
  

  Hope everyone (or at least those in the States) had a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving!

  1. Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
  Due 4/5/14. I'll be 22 weeks tomorrow. Also, she's measuring big, so I'm gonna jump out on a limb and say she's as big as a papaya and no longer a pomegranate. (!!!!)

  
  2. Age at delivery? (optional)
  35

  
  3. Any other children? Furbabies?
  DS is 17 months, plus 2 labrador retrievers

  
  4. How are you feeling?
  I puked a bunch on Thanksgiving morning, if that says anything. I'm also starting to reach the point where I can't keep up with the things I used to do, like carry my son around. And I'm just starting to get big enough to be uncomfortable. I was really sore the other day from putting up Christmas decorations. Stupid little things make me tired now. It's like the first trimester is running directly into the third trimester without the happy one between. I think a lot of my discomfort is because my belly hasn't popped yet. She's in there pressing on my back and bladder and stomach. Once she pops, I hope to get a few weeks of relief before she gets even bigger.

  
  5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
  We picked out our nursery bedding and I plopped them all in my online cart early this week, then let them sit until some black Friday deals kicked in. Cha-ching!

  Rant - My nesting instinct is starting. Not the crazy one right before delivery, but the general one. I found myself cleaning doors yesterday. And I was obsessed with scrubbing some splattered toothpaste off of a textured wall. It never bothered me before, but now....

  
  QOTW:  With our various symptoms (fatigue, pain, nausea, sleeping more etc), it's hard to get everything we want to do done.  What are you prioritizing, and what's taking a hit?

  Prioritizing:

  1. My job

  2. Taking care of DS

  3. Getting all of the holiday crap done

  
  

  Taking a hit:

  1. Housework - general cleaning, projects, etc

  2. Errands. DH is doing all of the grocery shopping, and has been since the start of the pregnancy. He is also taking care of vet visits, DS doctor visits

  3. Taking care of myself - my previous Paleo diet / personal trainer / pilates visits are on hold until I stop puking. Consecutive days without puking = 16 2

  Due date 06/03/2015. Peach. 13 wks 4 days.
  37 at delivery
  6 yr old son. 2 yr old daughter. One dog. Lab.
  Appt on Monday!! I cannot wait. Feels like too long since my last appt.
  starting to feel better!!
  
  Hmm. I would say housework is taking the hit. Typically I keep a pretty clean house but lately it's been messier than usual.

  1. Due May 17, 16 weeks, avocado
  
  2. 38 at delivery
  
  3. Toddler and a dog
  
  4. Prenatal visit in a week and anatomy scan in 2 weeks. I think I get the quad screen next week. So many blood draws during pregnancy! I've mostly gotten over my fear of needles as a result.
  
  QOTW: I definitely prioritize the health and wellbeing of my kids (this LO included) and myself. Feeding us well, resting, clean clothes and home (I said clean, not necessarily picked up!), and activities that make us happy. My first pregnancy I had a hard time honoring my limits and wanted to go-go-go, worked long hours, a million projects... And I got sick all the time, injured from working out too hard, complications that put me on bed rest, it wasn't worth it. This pregnancy is going so much smoother and I think part of it is me taking better care of myself.

  Me: 38, DH: 35
