Re: Friday Ticker Change
Symptoms/cravings- back pain, shortness of breath, lots of bh's, tired, hungry all the time. Craving Mexican, Chinese, spaghetti, ice cream at night. Lol
Rants/raves- rant, H keeps telling me to push through symptoms, like multiple bh's in a row and being tired both while out shopping, and it makes me want to stab him. Not really, but if he were experiencing these symptoms, he would be in the hospital thinking he's dying. Also, bending over to do anything sucks, and I feel like I'm going to throw up the baby. Rave- today's my cousins birthday and we're taking him to a Japanese hibachi restaurant tonight, and I legit can't wait! Then tomorrow is my work Christmas party and its always a great time!
Doctor appointments- on Monday! Just a check up but I love hearing his heartbeat ❤️

Everyone's always surprised to find out I hunt because of my career and the fact that I'm pretty girly. I grew up in a family where hunting was/is always a huge part of our lives, so it just seems normal to me. Usually just deerand turkey, and we eat what we get, so nothing goes to waste.
Eta words.
Weeks/fruit - 30/cucumber (babysizer says a store-bought loaf of sliced bread) - Team Surprise
Symptoms/cravings - sciatic pain (ie everywhere pain), acid reflux, foot/calf cramps, shortness of breath.. I don't feel like my body is handling this pregnancy as well as it did with DD. I feel like I'm complaining a lot more with this one, symptoms wise, even though DD's pregnancy was way worse. However, I don't think all the "things" went back to their proper place after DD stretched them the first time. lol I could make tacos for dinner every night and I (and DH) would be in heaven. yummm! We also eat ice cream almost every night! Spicy Nacho Doritos have randomly been my go to crunchy yummy goodness as well!
Rants/raves - I have three more days of work next week and then I'm off for 11 days. Much much needed but I have got to get moving on baby stuff during this time. The crib came yesterday so I need to finalize paint asap!
Doctor appointments - Monday! Just a check up/measurements!
Gtky- What is something people would be surprised to know about you, that they wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at you? - I grew up shooting guns and eating deer and pheasants.
Symptoms/cravings- Tired all the time, pelvic pressure, trouble sleeping. Cravings: sweets and I can't have them because of GD. Thank goodness for sugar free candy and Jiff chocolate whipped spread.
Rants/raves- Rants: My MIL sucks, Raves: we travel to my family's this weekend to celebrate Christmas! I'm so ready to see everyone.
Doctor appointments- Monday, going to see about scheduling my c-section. I want to try for a VBAC but don't want to be induced and try for a VBAC so hopefully they will go ahead and schedule it and then I will pray I go into labor on my own beforehand.

That I wish I could be a SAHM. I'm very driven when working and go above and beyond so I think my co-workers would be surprised how quickly and easily I would walk away to stay home. I just look at it as good work ethic but it comes across as career driven.

Symptoms/cravings-
Crazy bad heartburn after I eat or drink anything other than water. Also starting to have major hip pain but not sure if it's from my body getting ready for baby or because I can only sleep on my sides
Rants/raves-
Third tri is for sure the hardest.
RAVE is only a few more weeks left
Doctor appointments-had a check up today. She measured and listened to heartbeat. She didn't say I had anything to worry about so all is good I guess. I started getting sick Wednesday and she did a strep test... Luckily it was negative! Phew, so antibiotics and some over the counter cough meds
Gtky- What is something people would be surprised to know about you, that they wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at you?
Hmm... That I worry about any and everything I possibly can. Not a good trait for a mommy to be that's for sure
Symptoms/cravings- heartburn like you wouldn't believe, back/hip/round ligament pain, constipation, acne, lots of discharge
Rants/raves- I'm still feeling so unprepared for this baby because we're waiting until after Christmas to buy anything for the nursery. We asked for people to help complete our registry for Christmas so we won't know what we need to buy until then. Plus I can't preregister until the first of the year when my new insurance kicks in. I feel like I'm going to be super rushed
Doctor appointments- nothing until 12/29

Probably that I used to be very goth in junior high/high school. I'm not super girly now but I went all out with the spikes, converse, all black, etc. when I tell people at work they almost pee themselves laughing
Symptoms/cravings- feet hurt and soooo tired all 5 the time
Rants/raves- rant: hubs says I need to step it up a little and do stuff around the house more and start working in the nursery...ummm I'm fricken beat so I'm going to sleep. I wish he could be pregnant for a day, cause surely he couldn't handle it!
Rave: I love when little man wakes up and gets super active
Doctor appointments-next Monday checkup
Gtky- What is something people would be surprised to know about you, that they wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at you?
Hmm people are usually surprised at my age and that I'm married, have a career and own a house...idk I guess I look really young
Symptoms/cravings- I'm tired and sore about 95% of the time. I get heartburn alot too. Sciatic pain is being a PITA. I have a really short torso so he's all up in my ribs but also really low which makes things more difficult, especially at work. Don't really have any cravings...
Rants/raves- Not baby related exactly... but I'm getting real tired of not having a washing machine. My sister in law does our laundry (which I really am grateful for), but it would be so much more convenient to be able to do it myself. It stresses me out waiting and not having anything to wear when it gets close to needing to be done and when it's all at her house to be washed. It also doesn't smell all that great bc the things that need to be hung up to dry are hung up in her musty basement... I REALLY want to cloth diaper this next babe so I'm hoping we either get a washer for Christmas or we get one afterwards before he's born.
Doctor appointments- next appt is the 28th

Even though I work as a seamstress, customers seem shocked when they find out I've been sewing since I was 9 (I'm 25 now). Also, I think some people are surprised I already have a child (who will be 2 next month).
