Rants/Raves/Questions? See my Monday bitchfest... too much stupid for a Monday morning
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? nothing new here
GTKY: What would you do if you had no responsibilities right now? Hmmmm... realistically, probably re-watching some old TWD episodes on Netflix... back when Shane was still there. I realize he was a dick, but I still think he's damn good looking.
What I should be doing- finishing planning my bestie's baby shower... but that's kind of a responsibility... so maybe rescuing puppies, or snuggling my puppies. I mean, there's just endless puppy love potential
What size is baby? Thor's hammer
Upcoming appointments? july 5
Rants/Raves/Questions? Sleeping has gotten miserable. I feel like I can never get comfortable and it's only gonna get worse! AH. Plus it's already really hard to get out of bed, haha (I sleep on the inside against the wall)
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Nothing new except the heartburn is KILLING me.
GTKY: What would you do if you had no responsibilities right now? Well my responsibilities for the day are basically over since its almost 6pm.... But I pulled one of these on Saturday and didn't go to work and instead laid in bed watching old episodes of The Mentalist and then I went to eat a delicious chicken sandwich in town
What size is baby? Coconut
Upcoming appointments? Today we have our anatomy scan. Really nervous and excited.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I keep rolling onto my back in the middle of the night. Then I have trouble breathing, and wake up.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? The whole apartment smells like fish from last night, and it's making me gag.
GTKY: What would you do if you had no responsibilities right now? I would really start working on the nursery and get some personal stuff done-- like get back to writing, and work on some blog posts.
reason I feel like I'm REALLY pregnant now.
What size is baby? Cantaloupe, yum!
Upcoming appointments? I have a normal check up this Wednesday. I'm excited because it's been 5 weeks since our A/S. I've also been a nervous wreck before all my other appointments but now that I feel him move everyday I'm not nervous.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm trying so hard to sleep on my side but every time I wake up I'm on my back.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Starting to crave sweets. That hasn't been a thing until now.
GTKY: What would you do if you had no responsibilities right now? Quit my job.
What size is baby? a large mango
Upcoming appointments? Just had a dr appointment this past Saturday, just a quick check up.
Rants/Raves/Questions? In immense pain --- self inflicted pinched never in my neck from applying lotion on my face last night. I still can't believe it did that to myself. Must have applied to much pressure. Unreal.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Still loving cheeseburgers and chicken is still a no go for me.
GTKY: What would you do if you had no responsibilities right now? I'd be laying in bed rotating between ice and heat on my neck, watching reality tv. Oh man I wish I was home!!

What size is baby? cauliflower
Upcoming appointments? today for the quick 20 min apt and July 25 for another growth scan
Rants/Raves/Questions? My local obgyn is part of a larger network/hospital and he only delivers at the hospital an hour away (local office is 5 mins). I have to see the mfm doctors at the main hospital too because of being high risk for complications with my first pregnancy and delivery, and even though they are all in the same network they don't seem to communicate at all! I was supposed to take the glucose test twice due to weight issues, but I threw up the syrup (I told them I would- I just can't tolerate it) so my local obgyn said I had to get a meter to test my sugars when I went up to the mfm doctors. Well I went on Tuesday and the other doctors had no idea what I was talking about and said that it is considered a separate appointment since they have to train me to use it. So they want me to go back to the other dr and tell him to give me an appt there. I just don't understand why it's on me.
I am also sick of having to do mfm appts every 4 weeks and still have to do the obgyn appts all the time too.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? still can't eat meat (besides some chicken as long as I don't cook it)
GTKY: What would you do if you had no responsibilities right now? currently looking up appliances that have to be purchased for the move and nailing down a budget so I'd probably be doing the same thing except without the 'I need juice', 'I have to go to the bathroom', 'Where is my ____' that comes every 10 mins.

What size is baby?
Califlower
Upcoming appointments?
28 week appt with glucose challenge on July 19
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Feel huge, tired, and miserable. I can't wait to get these last 100 days down. Hopefully baby will be nice and show up 38/39 weeks but not counting on it since my son was a 42 weeker.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
I had a huge craving for dark chocolate and bought a
bag to keep at my desk. I noticed it has iron so hoping the craving doesn't mean I'm getting anemic (had problems with that after first pregnancy and my body doesn't tolerate taking iron very well).
GTKY: What would you do if you had no responsibilities right now? I would love to say travel or chill at the beach, but given my energy levels Id most likely sleep all day
What size is baby? Cantaloupe or a package of Oreos - I feel like these are so different!
Upcoming appointments? Regular monthly appt. this afternoon - probably scheduling the Glucose test. Boo.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Constant back aching is no fun - especially while sitting at my desk at work. I keep leaning back, but then it makes me sleepy! Also, getting some hot flashes over the last week. Started sweating in Target!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I'm craving fried chicken - but not like KFC or something. Like REAL fried chicken. Not quite sure I've ever really had the real stuff, so not sure why I want it!
GTKY: What would you do if you had no responsibilities right now? I'm with @nicholeL16 - quit my job!! And then maybe float in a pool. I'd also snuggle some puppies @bnsmith85 - start with my own, then just work my way out into the world.
What size is baby? A bag of Oreos
Upcoming appointments? 24 week check up and GD test ick
Rants/Raves/Questions? My little Alien feels like a giant foot some days I love it's rolling. It hates my Husband he puts his on on to feel it's will play opossum and stop he moves his hand and you see its foot. It's like a nah nah nah nah nah you can't catch me.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? MARS BARS STILL. the smell of cooking eggs.
GTKY: What would you do if you had no responsibilities.... ummmmm who never has responsibilities?
try proping a pillow behind your back it helped me get into the habit Of sleeping on my side also a pillow between the knees. It still happens to me sometimes but way less often. I can't wait to sleep normal again lol

What size is baby?
A slow loris! OMG the cutest tiny mammal
Upcoming appointments?
Next one is July 14, Bastille day. I will probably go in for my glucose challenge this week though.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I am tired is being sore, tired, and weepy. Everything involving moving my body is hard, which I'm fortunate to have never really experienced before, but it is frustrating as hell to feel so limited in what I can do comfortably. Just walking up stairs is a challenge. We are painting the nursery and I just feel miserable doing it.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Sour fruits, ice cream and Popsicles to stay cool.
GTKY: What would you do if you had no responsibilities right now?
Go to the beach.

What size is baby? A cauliflower but I like @kmolleltz description better!!
Upcoming appointments? Next week I go for my GD test, and then a week after that is my results
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant - I get the fashion industry hasn't really caught up with the fact a good chunk of people have meat on their bones, but being plus size AND pregnant totally sucks in the clothing department. Luckily I can still fit into Thyme clothes, but I need shorts and they only have mid to high thigh shorts which means my thighs rub so I need longer ones and of course they don't have them (unless they're jeans and I'm sorry but I'm too hot to be wearing jeans). I went to a few other stores and ya they have absolutely no shape so I look like a giant grapefruit! My shorts I'm wearing now work, but they're getting snug in the waste so they go below my belly, and my non-maternity tank tops are not quite long enough so I'm consistently trying to either pull down my shirt or pull up my shorts and both are uncomfortable. This is going to suck!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I seem to be going through different juices. Last week it was lemonade, now it's apple juice, even though apple juice seems to give me gas that won't pass.
GTKY: What would you do if you had no responsibilities right now? If I had no responsibilities and money wasn't an issue, I think I would travel - even if it was just road trips, something to feel like I'm getting out of the same ol routine.
What size is baby? a package of oreos
Upcoming appointments? Nothing until late July
Rants/Raves/Questions? BH can go to hell tonight.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? She is rolling around and staying low, which means some not so awesome cervix kicks. No cravings or aversions really. I just don't really want anything food wise, but I'll eat whatever my husband tells me he wants me to make.
GTKY: What would you do if you had no responsibilities right now? Sleep, and if money wasn't an option hen head to a beach.

Hubby is really working hard, we are moving and I am basically useless, can't move a thing, barely can move myself around the house...
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Every inch of my body hurts
I do crave natural cold orange juice, pretty bad
GTKY: What would you do if you had no responsibilities right now?
I would spend my days on bed with my furry friend wall e (schnauzer), watching breaking bad or something cool on Netflix. Will only leave bed to grab something to eat or to use the restroom. I feel so tired... I really don't want to be working...
Size: grapefruit?!? An 11 inch grapefruit?
Upcoming appointments? Had one yesterday, all is well.
Rants/Raves/Questions? So tired of being tired. I wish I could guzzle all the caffeine. I hear all you ladies on the maternity clothes. I have to get a dress for my brothers wedding. A plus size maternity evening dress. I went shopping yesterday and found nothing. At this point there is a 50% chance I'll just wear a toga and call it a day.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I just want carbs. All the carbs.
GTKY: What would you do if you had no responsibilities right now? Netflix. And ice cream. At a beach house with air conditioning.
