Re: *~*~TGIF Ticker Change*~*~ 7/1
What size is baby? Lettuce or a cucumber...can't decide which I like better.
Upcoming appointments? Today! Going in for my GD testing and a check up in just a few hours. Wish me luck!
Rants/Raves/Questions? My only rant is that I'm really missing sleeping on my back! My hips have gotten pretty achey at night, even with a pillow between my legs, and I just want to sleep on my back so bad. I guess it might be time for a pregnancy pillow?
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Really none of this, I can't think of any cravings I've had lately. I'm such a boring pregnant lady.
GTKY: We've been doing a lot to prepare for these babes, but what have you done to treat yourself lately? I've been getting some good workouts in and making sure to take a little bit of "me" time when I can. Sat at a coffee shop for about an hour yesterday doing nothing and it was fabulous. Also have a pedicure and massage coming up... can't wait!
What size is baby?
Cantaloupe, which I've been eating a ton of lately
Upcoming appointments?
Not til next week. Taking this week to hopefully start potty training my son- wish me luck...
Rants/Raves/Questions?
We are finally making moves on the nursery, yay!!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Give me all of the seasonal fruit, trying to see the light of being pregnant 3rd tri in the dead of summer. Our crop share starts this week so we will be overloaded with fresh veggies! Has anyone else heard of eating healthy now to expose the baby to these different tastes?
GTKY: We've been doing a lot to prepare for these babes, but what have you done to treat yourself lately?
I finally tried on dresses that I ordered back in January on clearance for summer weddings that we have in a few weeks. Half of them were decent, so I'll take that! Going in for a pedi/mani as the wedding date approaches.
ETA: Thanks!!
What size is baby? We'll go with an otter since all the veggies I've seen are very different sizes.... Big.
Upcoming appointments? Dr is sending me for another ultrasound in the next few weeks to figure out baby's position and I'll see him again on the 20th
Rants/Raves/Questions? I just wish I could keep up to my 3 year old again...
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I like coffee again which is wonderful! Heartburn has been extremely lately and my stomach seems like it has zero capacity which I guess should slow the weight gain haha
GTKY: We've been doing a lot to prepare for these babes, but what have you done to treat yourself lately? My dad treated all of us girls with a spa day for Christmas that we finally used a couple weeks back and it was wonderful! Got a massage, facial and pedicure and by the end of it was ready to just move in there!

Upcoming appointments? Tuesday for my 32 week appt + tdap
Rants/Raves/Questions? baby shower was last weekend and now the nursery looks like it's ready for a baby!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Holy restless legs. I just can't get comfortable anymore!
GTKY: We've been doing a lot to prepare for these babes, but what have you done to treat yourself lately? While I don't know if it counts as treating myself. We have been doing a lot of revamp around the house the last 2 month, new couch, dining table, new bed, new dryer. All things that will be nice since we will be home even more now.

GTKY: We've been doing a lot to prepare for these babes, but what have you done to treat yourself lately? Good question! My birthday is July 21st and I am treating myself to a car detailing so that the car will be ready to go for baby! I may need to squeeze in a pedicure soon too!

GTKY: We've been doing a lot to prepare for these babes, but what have you done to treat yourself lately? I took a bath last night for the first time in forever. It felt so good! I'm going to pay a visit to Lush next week to get some more bath bombs & bubble bars as a treat!

GTKY: We've been doing a lot to prepare for these babes, but what have you done to treat yourself lately?
IT'S JULY!!!!! Happy long weekend to many! my friend just took me for a pedicure...a much needed foot pampering.

Upcoming appointments? Regular check up (likely with the TDAP) on the 13th, and every other week from that point on (OMG!!!- anyone else feel like that makes it that much more real how close we all are to having these babies??)
Rants/Raves/Questions? I've been on DH's case a bit- between my wanting sex and him being uninterested (so I bust his chops), and asking him to talk to/read to the baby. He said he feels weird talking to or reading to the baby in front of me. I guess I sort of feel the same way sometimes, but I wish he would at least try
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I have hated bananas my whole life, and yet I find myself eating them a few times a week now. What's up with that???
GTKY: We've been doing a lot to prepare for these babes, but what have you done to treat yourself lately?
I honestly haven't been treating myself enough lately! So after my next doctor's appointment, I'm going to the ice cream place nearby and picking up the Shiraz ice cream to bring home. Yes, that's right, wine ice cream! And let me tell you, it tastes just like Shiraz, not shitty grape juice. That and a pedicure.
@RedMar I heard that too- in a way I hope it's true and in another way I don't because sometimes I eat SO BAD! Well, not that bad, but this kid will be a mac & cheese monster if I don't cut that out lol. I really need to start loading up more on the fruits and veggies, just in case
