Rants/Raves/Questions:

GTKY: What's something you loved to eat as a kid, but totally grosses you out now?

TheTamedShrew · July 2016

How far along? 34 weeks

What size is baby? butternut squash

How are you feeling? Really big and heavy. I must have a 6 pounder in there already. Noticing a lot more discomfort at night and pain in legs/butt/lower back. Kind of wishing I had already splurged for that snoogle pillow. I tried to jog/walk on Monday, and I was hurting a lot afterwards. I hadn't had any soreness from continuing my jogging before, so maybe she's moved into a new position or had a growth spurt?

Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow for 34 week check up.

Rants/Raves/Questions: I just feel so big and it sucks. I feel like I was this big right before I gave birth the last time, and now I still have 6 weeks to go...

any moms with 3+ yr olds and using sticker/reward charts? Looking for some ideas.

GTKY: What's something you loved to eat as a kid, but totally grosses you out now? We had way too much processed/packaged foods in the 80s. I used to eat canned soups, frozen chicken nuggets, and little debbies, and now I'm totally grossed out by them.

How far along? 30 weeks

What size is baby? Zucchini, summer cantaloupe

How are you feeling? Pretty good. A lot of back pain, little man likes to take my breath away and hang out in my ribs

Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow, get to meet our new OB. I'm nervous about my belly measurement, but a coworker made me feel better this morning telling me I look small and it's all belly. Of course I disagree but it was good to hear

Rants/Raves/Questions: I got the Bobby brand pregnancy pillow and it is getting flat

I have decided to open up a seam and add more stuffing tonight. I am also going to attempt to trim my toenails which will be entertaining.

GTKY: What's something you loved to eat as a kid, but totally grosses you out now? I ate ketchup on EVERYTHING! Cheetos, cheese, Bologna, you name it...

PSUBecky23 · July 2016

How far along? 32 weeks

What size is baby? Squash, I don't get it

How are you feeling? Tiiiiiiiired and sore. Pregsomnia combined with a three year old who hates sleep is killing me.

Upcoming appointments? Next Tuesday. I know the importance of prenatal appointments but I don't have time for this every two week crap.

Rants/Raves/Questions: See above re three year old

GTKY: What's something you loved to eat as a kid, but totally grosses you out now? Baloney sandwiches with butter, everyday for lunch.

@thetamedshrew my daughter has a sticker chart at school. The only one in the class because of course. I'm not a fan but I guess it helps some at school. Have you checked out Janet Lansbury's website? She has great insight into understanding the toddler crazy. While her methods don't always work with my crazy, at least it makes me feel better about my parenting, because I'm trying to understand my daughter's emotions instead of letting mine get the best of me.

How far along? 31 weeks .... whew only 9 to go!

What size is baby? Head of romaine or a small otter without tail haha

How are you feeling? Pretty good the last couple of days! Still having swelling, charlie horses, back pains, exhaustion etc of course......

Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow

Rants/Raves/Questions: I have my shower this weekend so I got my eyebrows done at lunch and have a hair appointment this afternoon, and did mani/pedi with my MIL on Monday. Hoping to make myself feel presentable by Saturday!

GTKY: What's something you loved to eat as a kid, but totally grosses you out now? Well I was at a loss until I saw a couple of your responses above...def could not PAY me to eat bologna now, ughhh... Also do not eat weirdly shaped ground up chicken nuggets but used to love them in those "Kid Cuisine" frozen meals my mom would buy my brother and I when we had a babysitter. One thing my mom also got us for treats was Oatmeal Cream Pies, Yummmm that sounds really good right now!

ajn092 · July 2016

How far along? 30 weeks!

What size is baby? A helmet?

How are you feeling? Excited and nervous that it's at most 10 weeks left. How did that happen?! Physically - hip and sciatic pain getting worse. But again just 10 more weeks. I got this.

Upcoming appointments? Ultrasound on Monday to check on a few things they couldn't get last time. Little stinker!

Rants/Raves/Questions:

GTKY: What's something you loved to eat as a kid, but totally grosses you out now? I loved cottage cheese and applesauce growing up. I could (and often did) eat it every day. Cottage cheese grosses me out big time now. It's the curds or whatever...the texture...yech! Agree with the chicken nuggets crap. And baloney too.

@AmMcc12 good luck with meeting the new OB! Is it still the same practice or same hospital?

Re: sticker rewards chart. Your kiddos may be too young but you could also try a homemade checklist. My daughter loved being able to check things off as she completed them. But she was older when we started.

AmMcc12 · July 2016

Good luck at your appointments tomorrow @TheTamedShrew and @jbscmama!!

@PSUBecky23 I don't get the size comparison either

@ajn092 it's the same clinic/hospital my previous doctor just moved to a tiff weeny city. The new one is new to the clinic so we will see. If we don't get a good vibe we can always switch to another doctor within the clinic

sunshinern96 · July 2016

How far along? 33 weeks!

What size is baby? Celery?? Must be the most giant stalk of celery in the world haha...

How are you feeling? Huge in like every way! Up over 40 lbs now just like I was with my first son. No matter what I eat or what I do, I'm just destined to become huge during pregnancy! I am getting so swollen too so I know that's a lot of it too. Can't wait to go back on weight watchers...

Upcoming appointments? Ultrasound August 2nd to see how big this kid is and check out a couple other things and then weekly after that!

Rants/Raves/Questions: None right now

GTKY: What's something you loved to eat as a kid, but totally grosses you out now? @ajn092 I was totally going to say cottage cheese too!! I ate it every day as a kid but now I can't stomach it at all and I don't understand why I enjoyed it so much haha!

What size is baby? Asparagus

How are you feeling? Super excited to finally be getting started on DD2's nursery. We did the electrical, I did the floors, and we have someone coming next week to finish it out.

Upcoming appointments? Next Wednesday.

Rants/Raves/Questions: sciatic pain. It's killing me. I've looked up so many stretches online and they don't seem to help much. It's frustrating.

GTKY: What's something you loved to eat as a kid, but totally grosses you out now?
Ketchup mixed in with my mashed potatoes. And ketchup sandwiches, aka ketchup on bread.

@PSUBecky23 I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way about appts. Seriously, if I had a gush of fluid or bleeding, I would call, not wait for my appointment. I go to all of my appts, but at this stage they really feel like a waste of time.

@TheTamedShrew and @jbscmama how did your appointments go today??

Mine was just a routine visit. Doc mentioned my weight for the first time which of course made me ugly cry. I'm already up 35 lbs at 34 weeks. I said that this baby would likely be 9 lbs and he laughed and said "i hope not".

uuuuhhhh, my first kid was 8 lb 15 oz so that wasn't a f*cking joke, dude.

jbscmama · July 2016

Thanks mine was just a routine one, with another doc in the practice so I can start meeting everyone. She was so young and bubbly, really liked her. They were asking about my delivery preferences etc....this is getting real!!!
