1. How far along / what "size"? 31 weeks, which is both exciting and terrifying. He's a small clawed otter!
2. Baby related stuff this week? I have a ton of sewing to work on and all kinds of cleaning/organizing projects going all over the house in preparation. The clock is ticking! I also want to find a dress for my shower.
3. Rants/raves/symptoms? My rave is that the new ACV/honey combo and the papaya enzymes are making life liveable again after all that traumatizing reflux/heartburn/vomit. Symptoms are the usual, sleeplessness, achey everything, emotions running high, and my ankles aren't swelling yet but they feel reaaallllly sore at night and in the morning.
4. GTKY: what's something NBR but exciting happening in your life right now? Blazers won the series against the Clippers last night and go on to round two! Also, my husband is taking an exam next week for a wayyyy better job than the one he has now and I'm ridiculously excited about it. And nervous.
30 weeks- zucchini or cantaloupe. So excited- 30 weeks feels pretty substantial.
baby shower tomorrow! Yay!
heartburn, tired, a little nauseous
Im making some work related decisions which I believe will improve my overall life. I'm an independently contracted therapist at two agencies and I decided not to go back to one after maternity leave. Yay!!
1. How far along / what "size"? 27 weeks bananas/lettuce/fennec fox/camping lantern
2. Baby related stuff this week? Had my baby shower today. These babies are spoiled. We are very lucky to have such great family and friends.
3. Rants/raves/symptoms? Nausea is making a reappearance and man am I tired. Carrying around this extra weight has also done a number on my back and joints.
4. GTKY: what's something NBR but exciting happening in your life right now? Absolutely nothing. Since I've been on bed rest practically this whole pregnancy, I've lost touch with the real world it seems.
1. How far along / what "size"?: 31 weeks. Foam finger, romaine, otter...
2. Baby related stuff this week?: Not too much besides stalking my registry for my shower which is next weekend. Totes normal.
3. Rants/raves/symptoms?: I am sick and feel like shit. I am sweaty, and uncomfy, and tired. I'm hoping it's all due to my cold versus pregnancy. It's too early to be over it like this!
4. GTKY: what's something NBR but exciting happening in your life right now?: 31 days left of school days with the kiddos. I am ready to end this year. It always gets to this point around May. Also the Blazers going to round two is exciting! Nothing else crazy happening in my boring life.
1. How far along / what "size"? 27 weeks. Bunch or bananas, camping lantern.
2. Baby related stuff this week? We are looking at new blinds for the house, which isn't really baby related but was prompted by me trying to get baby's room as dark as possible in the day, so there you go.
3. Rants/raves/symptoms? Pelvic pain is still here and hurts! Starting to feel slow and big (but know there's a lot more growing to do!) Was able to feel not just kicks but her moving around and just brushing up against my fingers last night as she moved around, which was really cool.
4. GTKY: what's something NBR but exciting happening in your life right now? Not exciting in a good way but My husband and I are putting together a video of my grandfathers life in pictures (he passed away last August) for his memorial at the end of May. It's been really sweet going through all these old photos from when he was a baby to when my mother was a baby and I was a baby. Bittersweet, but a good, emotionally satisfying project.
1. How far along / what "size"? 27 weeks, third tri!
2. Baby related stuff this week? Nope.
3. Rants/raves/symptoms? Doctor thinks I have PUPPPS (annoying pregnancy rash). Weird thing is all research says it doesn't at all affect the baby, but doctor wants extra u/s and was talking about possible nonstress tests. I asked a few times for him to explain what he was looking for but he gave some vague nonsense answer. Best guess is he's checking in case it might be something else more serious.
4. GTKY: what's something NBR but exciting happening in your life right now? Not sure. I've had a stressful weekend and can't think of stuff I'm excited about right now.
@whataboutscience that's so frustrating that he wasn't able to communicate to you where he was going with his rationale. And sorry that you have to deal with the rash. I have psoriasis on the regular and know how miserable it can be to be itchy

I have an appointment with my midwife and also our second baby shower (which we're traveling for). It should be a fun week!
Nausea, reflux, general discomfort and achy all over. Exhausted
There are things in life that aren't baby related? Lately it's been work, sleep, try to survive, prep for baby.
