GTKY: What has been your favorite thing about being pregnant?
Re: *Tuesday Ticker Change* 1/26
Symptoms/Cravings: I still want all the food, but heartburn is back with a vengeance. I think it's just normal end of pregnancy stuff: aches, pains, tossing and turning all night. I just plain can't get comfortable anymore, therefore, I can't wait to get #3 out so that I can do that again!
Rants/Raves: I wish I didn't have so much heartburn this time around, but I'm anxious to see how much hair this baby has! I hope it's epic.
Next doctors appointment: Today in about a half an hour. I'll update later. It'll be my first cervical exam so i'm hopeful that something is happening at this stage in the game. not that it means anything today necessarily, but in the long run it'll be that much less i have to go.
GTKY: What has been your favorite thing about being pregnant? I think my favorite thing about being pregnant is feeling our little baby move around. It's just so surreal to know that there is a life inside of you. I'm a bit sad now that this is our last. But not sad enough to want to do it a 4th time

Symptoms/Cravings: Aches and pains, same as usual but mostly up in the ribs, and back/hips when I sleep. Cravings would be chocolate this week lol
Rants/Raves: Pissed/stressed with work and their prep for me to leave, its all infuriating, but I've been feeling mostly good and getting a lot done around the house
Next doctors appointment: We had one last night and an ultrasound. Dr. said that although he still thinks my belly measures small, the ultrasound said everything looked great. Baby is measuring perfectly 5 pounds 7 ounces at the 54th percentile, and that fluids and all looked great. Next week is group b strep test and internal.
GTKY: What has been your favorite thing about being pregnant? I LOVE feeling her move too. I have to agree with you @purplepenguin3 its the best feeling! H can't get over the fact that there is a little one in there moving around and growing. I cant either
Symptoms - Ever since baby turned to breech last Wednesday, 95% of my pelvic pain is gone! He was flipped back to vertex the next day in L&D, but the pain has stayed away - so thankful! I really think that the baby was kind of lodged in to a bad spot for a while.
Rants/Raves - DH and I got in a spat last night. He brought home 3 bottles of Reisling for me for after baby comes:)
Fave thing - I love the anticipation of pregnancy. Waiting for this amazing thing to happen, chatting with DH about what it's going to be like. I love that:)
Symptoms/Cravings: anything citrus or minty. My grocery cart is full of clementines and peppermint patties these days!
Rants: I'm so tired of waking up in the middle of the night and not going back to sleep for hours if at all. I'm tired enough as it is!
Raves: grocery store had a sale on York peppermint patties yesterday
Symptoms/Cravings: No cravings still. Symptoms are more related to my sinus infection at this point.
Rants/Raves: The temp I'm training for my leave is starting to worry me. She's called in twice and was originally supposed to be hired for a different position in our company but said it was too much for her. I'm really hoping she doesn't bail again because I really don't want to waste the few days I have at work wasting my time.
Also, my CWs are throwing me a shower on Friday. Hopefully that'll be fun and they'll let me leave early
Next doctors appointment: Had one today and I'm 2.5-3 cms and 80% so that's progress over last week being 2cms and 60%. It's really starting to get real! I go back on Tuesday for the next appt if nothing else happens.
GTKY: What has been your favorite thing about being pregnant? Just seeing him on the u/s and feeling him move. Everything else has not been my cup of tea

Symptoms/Cravings: Horrible heartburn. I move at a slow waddling pace. I've also started bursting into tears over cute animal and baby pics. And sometimes just spontaneously. No unusual cravings, but I'm really into apples and pears!
Rants/Raves: My downstairs neighbor and I don't always get along. He likes to party loudly late into the night regularly, which is irritating. We had to call the cops on him a couple of times, unfortunately, though usually he at least turns the music down when we ask. In fact Saturday we were *thisclose* to calling the cops because we had to ask him to tone it down 3x! Once at midnight, then at 3AM and then again at 4AM. He would turn the music down but then we'd wake up to the vibrations blasting again later on. Not to mention the noise and yelling a group of like 10-15 drunk people make when you put them in a small apartment together. Ugh. At least it was a Saturday and not during the work week. Anyway, I was reminded yesterday that he is actually a nice guy and has his redeeming qualities - he helped carry up a bunch of boxes full of baby stuff that got delivered while my partner was still at work. Really appreciated that.
I'm also loving maternity leave. Taking everything at a slow pace, but enjoying extra time to cook, go for walks, etc. They force you out of the office 4 weeks before your due date here in NL, and I'm glad they do!
Next doctors appointment: Tomorrow! The midwife hasn't checked dilation or anything like that yet. No idea what tomorrow will bring. Usually she just asks how it's going, takes my BP, listens to the baby's heartbeat and feels for his position.
GTKY: What has been your favorite thing about being pregnant? It's my first pregnancy, and I love the "newness" of the experience and discovering how it works. I always wondered what it was like, and I can't believe it's almost over now!

@purplepenguin3 Woop!! It IS nice knowing that's less we'll have to deal with when things start really moving, isn't it?
