@crdo and @kwife15 Here's to hoping we all passed our Glucose tests today! I can't go through that again. I was shaking so bad and swore I was going to pass out when I stood up to go back to get my blood drawn.
@joose159 I ask the same thing! How in the world am I going to get bigger? I feel huge and can hardly manage how big I am now with all the aches and pains and general discomfort I don't know how I'm going to handle getting any bigger. I told H that little man needs to continue growing, but I need to stay this size for the rest of the pregnancy.

Yes! FX to y'all! Ugh, it made me feel a touch queasy, but I'm glad it's (hopefully) over all the same. Sorry to hear it did such a number on you!
@kwife15 THIS is a tri tip. It's from a tiny portion of the back end of a cow. I had no idea that it isn't a cut of meat readily available everywhere. A lot of friends I have that have moved to other states (I live in CA) can never find it and it's the first thing they eat when they come home to visit. It makes wonderful sandwiches. Mmmm.
@joose159 my H was like that too when we went to pick a name between our top picks. We both liked them nearly equally but I liked Lincoln a little better and he liked the name Oliver a little more than I did.
I told him since he vetoed my #1 choice with no discussion that it was his turn to compromise. He didn't think that was fair and was kind of a baby about it. But he eventually got on board. It seems like you've already done some compromising so I hope your H comes around too!
To all asking: Yum Yum dessert is like a layered dessert/pie/custard/cool whip thing. Lol. Pecan crust, then a layer of slightly sweetened cream cheese, then chocolate pudding (extra thick by using less milk), a layer of vanilla (or any other flavor) pudding fluffed with some cool whip, THEN topped with more cool whip and chocolate shavings. SOOOOO FREAKING GOOD!!!!!
@arteduc8- it's miserable!!! My PCP gave me Zantac 300mg prescription to take twice a day. I did it for a week or two because it was so bad my chest hurt, my back hurt, I almost felt wheezy and my throat felt hairy from the acid burning it. I'm trying to just do the Zantac 150 twice a day now and supplement with Pepcid as I need it. I feel your pain!! I sleep on an incline of like three pillows- that helps somewhat at night. Hope you feel better.
How far along are you? 29 Week today! Is it just me or is time going by faster now?
Rant/Rave/Symptoms: Rave- I found the most amazing and comfortable rocker and it was actually one of the "less expensive" ones. I generally run and fall in love with the champagne of choices- Champagne taste on a beer budget. Rant- Not really a rant, but a boo, this sucks. Going to the cardiologist tomorrow to get these weird heart beats and lightheaded stuff checked out. I'm nervous! Symptoms- my feet had some minor swelling last night!! That was a first. Reflux, RLP, holy hell bloating that makes me stomach feel like a trampoline and the usual lightheaded stuff.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Working on the nursery! Spent yesterday chair shopping and finally found one. This weekend I will be working on more of the décor in the room.
Questions? Am I the only one with a pulse rate that hasn't gone up much? My BP seems to be staying low too- it went down during the first half but never came back up! I keep reading about how my pulse and BP should be going up in the third trimester.
GTKY: What's your favorite summertime / barbecue food? OMG, watermelon- all day, every day. I'll eat any kind of BBQ any season- bring on the burgers and brats.

We'll see. My problem is I don't want to "win" - I want him to want Lincoln. Even if he continues to favor Henry, I want him to say "You know what? I got to pick the middle name and you are the one growing the damn kid, so let's go with Lincoln because I still like it a lot and that seems fair."
@joose159 Yeah I know what you mean! Even when my H first gave me the, "I guess we can go with Lincoln" I was like... no. I don't want to "win" I just want you to see that you like the name almost as much as I have and I've already compromised in the name department so you can give a little. Then he told me I'm the only person who complains when I get my way, lol.
It was never about getting my way so I get you, girl. I. get. you.
Preparing for baby: we finally got the carpet installed and the crib and dressers put together in the room. Let the anxiety level decrease. Please and Thanks!!
GTKY: I love all things grilled. There is no way I can choose!!!!!
