Good Morning J15 Bumpies! Didn't see one going for today yet, so I thought I would start one. You guys know the drill by now so post it all here! Hope you're feeling well!
As I mentioned in the FFFC thread, I'm totally giving into my cravings today. I usually don't and will return to my attempts to eat healthy tomorrow.
Also, I guess my body is really starting to prepare for baby's arrival because I've been leaking a lot more colostrum than usual today. I'm hoping this means that breastfeeding won't be too much of a problem for me!
I've been mentioning my sudden growth each day this week. Today when I changed after work, my husband gasped and said, "Your belly button is just GONE! It was there this morning! We need to do a time lapse video. You're changing like every ten minutes."
My cankles are out. of. control. Like my appetite.
I'm FINALLY on the freaking mend from this flu. I hope I never have to go through that again. I still sound and look terrible, but my energy level and appetite has finally rebounded somewhat, and I'm not blowing my nose every two seconds. Ugh. Hopefully I can get some enjoyment out of the weekend.
On the pregnancy front, I can no longer bend over normally at the waist with my growing bump-my back just kills me now anytime I do, so it's pretty much squatting down from here on out.

Glad you're starting to feel better! I can definitely relate to the no more bending thing - every time I try, I end up not being able to breathe! It's super annoying haha
I cried this morning on the way to work because I couldn't hear my husband clearly through the speakerphone. I was so frustrated and just started bawling because he was getting frustrated and tried yelling the words which I took as him yelling at me. He was really nice about it but I felt like such a baby!
Other than that, feeling ok. Hot flashes and ravenous hunger!
@FloGirl82 Glad to hear you're getting over that flu! Being sick and pregnant is hell.
As for myself, I'm feeling alright, a little nervous because I have an appointment with my OB this afternoon and I'm a worry-wart. But I am looking forward to hearing LO's heartbeat again, it's my favorite part of every appointment. Otherwise, I have some gnarly looking bumps all over my chest (super cute)...can't tell if it's acne or whatever but I want them gone and it's taking a lot not to pick the living hell out of them. I'm a picker, I know better but I just can't help it. And in other boob news, I'm leaking again, but considering that I want to try breastfeeding, I'm going to see it as a plus.
I had a dream a few nights ago that I started leaking at work. But no actual leaking here yet.
I'm tired, but other than that,my only real complaint is that my back is sore. And my left lower back, right around the back of my hip hurts. More so when I've been in my work chair all day. It kind of almost feels like it did the couple of time I pulled my back muscles, but it's not quite in the right place. I forgot to ask the doc about it last week. It's not horrible, just annoying.
And much like my doc suggested, it seems the Tums might have been a contributing factor to the the constipation (as if it needed any help). After about a week of Zantac and only one or two middle of the night Tums, I've pooped three days in a row. It's a frickin' miracle!
Started my iron supplement this morning on an empty stomach and luckily did not have stomach upset over it, like so many others have trouble with. It grumbled a little, but I generally have a tough gut so I wasn't too worried. My sister mentioned that they may help my energy level because the one common complaint I have had this whole damned time was being exhausted. It's probably a placebo effect, but now that its been 8 hours since I took it I feel pretty good and not too draggy, like I normally do right before work. That would be awesome if this continued.
I'm glad you seem to be on the mend @FloGirl82, the flu just downright sucks and not being able to take anything that really does any good is a total drag.
ETA - I just saw my ticker is below 100 days to go - yikes!

Same with me: DH was rubbing my belly and was like "whoa, your belly button! It's almost gone!" And I didn't even notice since I can see much past the top of my belly...
I've had a bit of a headache today. I think it's a combination of dreary weather+ insomnia+ stressing out. I've been so calm this whole pregnancy but now that I am in my third trimester everything is getting real so I am freaking out a little. I've also read so much about labor that my brain is on information overload! DH is a trooper for putting up with me when I start over analyzing everything; I'm sure I sure I am making him crazy right now but he listens and gives cuddles and back rubs when I start to stress.
Minion is kicking and moving a lot more right now. Today DH did a knock knock joke on my bump and minion kicked DH's hand so hard that DH about jumped off the bed. It was quite funny!
@FloGirl82 glad to hear you are on the mend and getting over the flu!

I was up from 2:30-4:00 AM because my hips were so achy and I could not get comfortable. It was so frustrating! Other than that I'm feeling good.
