Re: Tuesday Ticker Change
2. Baby related stuff this week? DH said he was going to replicate the prints I want for the gallery wall in the nursery, so I've been saving those to his computer and am excited to go buy frames for them this weekend. We didn't paint this past weekend, so I think that's also in our future for this week as well. Oh! And we have a photo session scheduled for this Saturday morning that's doubling as both DS's 2-year photos and a maternity/family shoot.
3. Rants/raves/symptoms? This LO has been so much more active, which is very fun, but some of his movements are taking the form of a lot of pressure and painful jabs. He's also very low, so for 3/4 of the day, it just feels like I've been kicked in the pubic bone.
4. GTKY: what's something NBR but exciting happening in your life right now? Not baby-related, but still kid-related... DS's vocabulary is just EXPLODING, and I seriously don't know where he's coming up with this stuff. Yesterday morning, we were talking about bunnies. We practiced saying the word "bunny," and I asked him what they do, and he says, "Hop, hop, hop!" To switch things up, then I asked him what bunnies eat, and he thought for a few seconds and said, "Salad." He's eaten some bites of my salad before, but it's not a word we've practiced or anything. I would have been impressed if he said lettuce or carrots, but he blew my mind with salad. Also, he has a wooden cutout of a man that came with little magnetic outfits (a knight, a police officer, a firefighter, a pirate, a construction worker, and a superhero). Last week he came up to me holding the knight outfit and said, "Armor!" Wth? What 24-month-old knows the word armor? I guess he's been paying attention to Sir Kirby in Doc McStuffins or maybe they talk about it in Sofia the First because neither DH nor I, nor my mom have talked about that word with him. Funny! He's learning so much, and it's so exciting to see his mind and imagination grow.

2. Baby related stuff this week?
At my 3 hr glucose test now. Wifi sucks but otherwise it isn't too bad. Two more blood draws and less than 2 hours to go... Regular appt on Friday.
3. Rants/raves/symptoms?
Baby is really starting to feel like a bowling ball. General discomfort all the time.

I think I am getting an Apple Watch for Mother's Day! Someone on our neighborhood listserv is selling a brand new one she won at a raffle for less
29 weeks!
2. Baby related stuff this week?
Glucose test and Rhogam shot were yesterday, I passed! I'm going to a routine appointment on Friday. I'm going every 3 weeks now.
3. Rants/raves/symptoms?
Ive been having middle of the night excruciating back pain. It's the weirdest thing, always hits around 330 AM and by 7 is gone. I've also been light headed a lot. I upped my iron supplement and have been carrying snacks with me everywhere. But nothing worth complaining about, Especially when I see how rough some ladies have it. I can work with these
We have the nursery almost done! The crib is getting put together this weekend and our glider will be here this week. It makes my heart happy. I keep finding myself in there just looking around ❤️.

Hmm exciting? I just bought a bunch of Ebooks and e-courses to work through these last weeks and while on maternity leave. I'm also planning my best friends bachelorette party (I'll be 35 weeks at it!) and making garden plans for the year. It's always so fun to decide what veggies to grow and what flowers will decorate the yard for the year.

2. Baby related stuff? My shower was this weekend and quite low key, which was amazing. This baby will never need another toy! Today I saw the doctor and had the conversation that I might be looking at a c-section and a couple weeks early. I'm now having a minor heart attack, haha. Friday and Sunday we are getting the last of everything we need so this baby will be ready.
3. Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Holy nesting batman! With us just having moved there's some serious getting our place together going on. Every night has had a project lately and it's both awesome and exhausting. My doctor pointed out how much my right rib is flaying out because my guy is breach and high. It was kind of nice to know it's not all in my head
GTKY: Planning one of my closest friends shower and bachlorette. I'm thankfully co-MOH so I am doing it with someone I'm super close to. It's a lot of fun and feels bananas
2. Baby related stuff this week? Going to a breastfeeding class tonight at BRU and Thursday is my work baby shower! I am so excited...there's about 20 people going and I'm just so excited and feel blessed to celebrate with them.
3. Rants/raves/symptoms? Today I feel good but overall I've been miserable lately. Nesting is in full force so that's been fun. I've had a ton of rib pain on my right and thus haven't been sleeping great. I also don't feel well at work when I first get there. I'm not sure why but it's been happening pretty much every day.
4. GTKY: what's something NBR but exciting happening in your life right now? (Stolen from Saturday's ticker change!). We are still looking for a house and going to look at more every weekend. Otherwise I haven't had time for much besides work and baby prep!
1. How far along / what "size"? 27 weeks: bunch of bananas/head of lettuce
2. Baby related stuff this week? so many! This past weekend DH painted the baby's nursery, last night was our first birth class, tomorrow night is prenatal yoga (my favorite thing ever), and Saturday is my baby shower!
3. Rants/raves/symptoms? heartburn... always!
4. GTKY: what's something NBR but exciting happening in your life right now? (Stolen from Saturday's ticker change!) our BFFs are buying a house near us!
2. Baby related stuff this week? I have my glucose test and appointment tomorrow. Should be thrilling! Also getting a TDap shot.
3. Rants/raves/symptoms? Starting to feel the lower back pain. Feet are throbbing everyday after work and the getting up every hour to switch positions while sleeping is getting old.
4. GTKY: what's something NBR but exciting happening in your life right now? We moved last month and we have slowly but surely unpacking. It's taking us forever, but hopefully by next month everything will be ready and done for Jaxon!

2. Baby related stuff this week?
OB appointment this Friday and hopefully getting my tdap shot the same day!
3. Rants/raves/symptoms?
Feeling good overall still, but the usual hip pain when sleeping, belly fullness - baby girl feels like a bowling ball sometimes which gets uncomfortable, lack of a desire to eat much of anything, back pain at the end of the day
4. GTKY: what's something NBR but exciting happening in your life right now? (Stolen from Saturday's ticker change!)
School is winding down for the year, so I'm excited for summer vacation!
30 weeks, cantaloupe/zucchini/platypus/motorcycle helmet. How are you all these things, baby?!? They are not the same size.
2. Baby related stuff this week?
OB appointment Monday. Still measuring big so getting an ultrasound done Friday. Excited to see my little guy! Baby shower Saturday.
3. Rants/raves/symptoms?
A little bit more tired in the evening but still feeling great. Baby seems to really like pushing what I think is his behind against my upper abs (or where I wish there were abs..) really hard and it's actually starting to hurt. He's been doing this for almost a month now.
4. GTKY: what's something NBR but exciting happening in your life right now? (Stolen from Saturday's ticker change!)
Wow, this one was actually hard for me! It seems like everything is baby these days. Thursday some friends and I are going to a comedy competition show and I've never been to one before!
2. Baby related stuff this week? Started slowly packing the diaper bag for the hospital and probably going to start working on mine and DH's also. Working on the nursery and doing sorting through all his clothes.
3. Rants/raves/symptoms? Pelvic pain is a b*tch. H now has to help me put on my pants and tie my shoes. Also I feel like my night time hip pain is getting worse.
4. GTKY: what's something NBR but exciting happening in your life right now? (Stolen from Saturday's ticker change!) Next year H and I will be married for 5 years. I love cruising but he's never been on one and he promised we'd go on one for our 5th anniversary. Well earlier this week we booked a 4 night Disney Cruise, I tried pushing for the week long but he wasn't having it
