What's new with baby (size, development): Appleseed
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: I am focusing on keeping a positive attitude and realizing stressing does nothing for me or the baby.
Rant/rave/symptoms: Sleep patterns are a train wreck. Now that I am on summer break not a big deal, but as soon as school starts I do not know how I am going to survive. (Also, this is why I started a daily feed at 12:30 AM)
GTKY: Best concert you have been to? Tie between No Doubt (Gwen is a so high energy!) and Brooks N Dunn's Last Rodeo Tour 8-}
What's new with baby (size, development): sweet pea/but soon a blueberry!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Rid the stress from my life. Nothing is worth me making myself so upset.
Rant/rave/symptoms: Rant- working overnights while trying to figure out a comfortable sleep schedule. Symptoms- all day sickness & this baby seems to hate adrenaline, the more adrenaline I get at work, the more I vomit. URGH
Question for the group: Any advice from fellow graveyard shifts?? How do I bring myself to stay up all night when I'm so tired?

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Nothing yet
Rant/rave/symptoms: Random on/off nausea, exhaustion, major bloat - the second I eat anything, my belly balloons out. Also, think I'm sunburning much more easily than before I was pregnant. Spent 2 hours at the beach this weekend and came home looking like a lobster. I spent way more time in the sun earlier this summer without such drastic results. Ouch.
Question for the group:
GTKY: What is the best concert you have been to? I'm so not a concert person. The only real concert I've been to is Skillet.

What's new with baby (size, development): Just graduated to Raspberry!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: 2nd u/s this week, hopefully little pacman will have caught up a bit in size. The baby measured really small 2 weeks ago, but it also just could have been a bad angle. So I'm anxious to see the little one and hope that heartbeat is nice and strong!
Rant/rave/symptoms: MS has really sunk in this week. Boobs aren't as sore as they were the past few weeks, but now sometimes I get a sharp shooting pain in one of them. It only lasts a second, but it definitely gets my attention! Also round ligament pain occasionally, especially sneezing, coughing, laughing, etc
Question for the group: none
GTKY: What is the best concert you have been to? Tegan & Sara in Aspen, CO. It was a very small venue so it was very intimate, we sat at a table drinking our beers and were only about 30 ft away from them. Woke up the next morning to fresh fallen late spring snow, the town looked like a winter fairyland inside a snow globe! The drive back down from the mountains however was a white knuckle ride!

What's new with baby (size, development): I don't look at development much yet, since my dates are so uncertain.
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Half-assedly attempting to night wean DD, so I get more sleep. She is cutting molars though, so I'm not pushing too hard.

Rant/rave/symptoms: (tmi) but I am on my 4th straight day of diarrhea. I had it off and on woh my first but I sogn remember it being so persistent. I am still queasy too, but the morning sickness has eased up a little.
Question for the group: I am pretty sure the whole diarrhea thing is just pregnancy related and I am making sure to drink extra fluids, but is there a point where I should let my OB know? Also anyone have any suggestions to help it go away, I tried the brat diet but it has made no difference (I think part of the problem is a huge influx in fresh fruits and veggies but I don't want to not eat those either)?
GTKY: What is the best concert you have been to? Not so much a concert person. Pretty sure the last official none I went to was backstreet boys when I was 12 lol.
6w5d, sweet pea Still not getting ready. It's so early - I have plenty of time (I'll say that until labor LOL). Rant/rave/symptoms: I have spent too many hours the past two days sitting on the pot trying to poop with nothing to show for it. UGH. Question for the group: can't think of any. GTKY: What is the best concert you have been to? Haven't been to tons - The Cure was pretty good!
