Rants/Raves/Questions? Sleep is so shitty lately. I would give just about anything for a full, UNINTERRUPTED eight hours.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I think I had heartburn yesterday. I can't be sure because I've never had it before in my life, but it's what I'd expect heartburn to feel like. It wasn't fun. Also, my hips and tailbone huuuuurt. A lot. All the time. Blahhh.
GTKY: What three food items do you always have on hand in the fridge/kitchen? If it were up to your SO, what would his/her three items be? I always have cran-apple juice, chicken, and frozen mixed vegetables on hand. DH requests that we keep milk, cereal, and Franks Red Hot.

Rants/Raves/Questions?
Relatively speaking I do feel great. I have my things to complain about, but I have yet to have any doctor-recommended restrictions, I sleep relatively well, and I am only gaining minimal weight now that I've started walking at lunches (I'm trying to think positively, does it show? lol)
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Still got carpal tunnel hanging around, but it isn't getting any worse, thank goodness. My knuckles feel fat and if I sit too long, my feet get fat too.
Cravings are still strong flavors. I may or may not have spent the afternoon eating a big bag of Sea Salt and Vinegar chips yesterday and completely ruined my dinner.
No real aversions to speak of, just mostly hot liquids because it's got awful outside.
GTKY: What three food items do you always have on hand in the fridge/kitchen? If it were up to your SO, what would his/her three items be?
Me: Milk, Butter, Chicken – You can make almost anything with these around!
DH: Taco Seasoning, Refried Beans, Tortillas - He's a bit obsessed with Mexican food lolMommy to Elizabeth (6/18/09), preemie at 34 weeks

What size is baby? a squash
Upcoming appointments? Next Thursday - going to check my blood to see if my anemia has gotten any better now that I'm doing double the iron supplements + vitamin C...
Rants/Raves/Questions? It's so funny, when I was pregnant with my son, I was freaked out about having a boy because I thought, "What the heck do I know about boys??!!" Now I'm having the same feelings being pregnant with a girl. I'm terrible at doing hair - what if I can't do her hair??!! Yes, of all the things to worry about, this is what I keep thinking to myself...
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? @AllyTheKid, I hear ya! I'm definitely not eating as much these days - I feel like I'm running out of room! Moving around is soooo much harder now.
GTKY: What three food items do you always have on hand in the fridge/kitchen? If it were up to your SO, what would his/her three items be? Me: cheese (shredded, sliced, sticks, etc.), eggs, pasta. SO: steak, mushrooms, candy.
What size is baby? Baby sizer says "half of a large Cheesecake Factory Cheesecake" and that has officially blown my mind
Upcoming appointments? Regular appointment tomorrow, then I start going every two weeks! Ah!
Rants/Raves/Questions? I think the baby moved this week, so he's not kicking me in the cervix anymore! Downside is that I don't feel a whole lot of kicks at all. I feel movement, but not like discernable kicks. I'm sure it's fine, but the change in the baseline always makes me nervous.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I'm starting to get uncomfortable and the nausea has been making a little come back. By the end of the day, my hips hurt and I'm just never able to sit/stand/lay comfortably. The thought of getting bigger and this getting worse over the next 10 weeks is kind of bumming me out too.
GTKY: What three food items do you always have on hand in the fridge/kitchen? If it were up to your SO, what would his/her three items be? For me: cheese, popcorn, and eggs. Husband's would be bread, tortilla chips and Coke. That man will eat anything if it's presented on a sandwich or scooped with a chip lol
and it makes me sad.
@Kaytee1087 Yes Butter! How could I have forgotten... and garlic salt is a staple too now that I'm really thinking on it.
@lilbabybrown I hope your iron levels are looking better! Also, my first born, by some sick joke, was a girl- I was a total tomboy, so this was going to be hard enough, but wouldn't you know she ended up having curly hair too?? Haha I have since perfected the art of ponytails, pigtails, and braids and hait bows, but it took some work!
@scostel2 FI is the same, he could throw any and all leftovers in a blender, and then happily spread the concoction on bread or eat it with chips. As long as he has his Jalapeños with it anyway.
How many weeks? 27
What size is baby? Lettuce
Upcoming appointments? We had an ultrasound and a monthly appointment today
Rants/Raves/Questions? After my ultrasound- we've had a lot of questions (I have complete placenta previa and now it's likely I have placenta accrete). But we meet with a high risk specialist in two weeks so I am trying to put on a brave face until then.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I think I am too stressed to have any actual cravings at this point.
GTKY: What three food items do you always have on hand in the fridge/kitchen? If it were up to your SO, what would his/her three items be?
Me:
Yogurt, cereal, string cheese
SO:
Cheddar and blue cheese spread, hot dogs, sour dough bread (literally took me like 5 minutes to figure out the word sour dough)
@lilbabybrown I am having another boy but that was a huge fear of mine when I thought this one was going to be a girl! Baby hair is so fine too- it's hard to put up and braid and do anything with!
@copperboom86 @allythekid we love sharp cheddar here. We are huge cheese and grilled cheese fans. My husband makes delicious gourmet type grilled cheeses!
I'm also having the can't eat as much at one time problem, but then I'm hungry like an hour later. It's getting annoying lol.

What size is baby?
Bok Choy ... I don't like this week's comparisons.
Upcoming appointments?
Just had a couple, got to see our little peanut on u/s! I got a growth scan because I'm measuring a bit small, but baby boy is measuring 2 days ahead and 42nd percentile in weight. He was 3lb 15oz on Monday, so probably about 4lbs right now! My OB also signed off on our birth plan, it's all so official!
Rants/Raves/Questions?
The other day I think I was just doing too much and stressed out, by the end of the day I was feeling like baby was super low and a lot of pressure and what felt like mild period cramping. I freaked myself and had a panic attack over it. I need to be more aware of taking breaks throughout the day. And my OB recommended a support belt since baby is sitting so low.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Back pain is better lately, yay! *Knocks on wood*
GTKY: What three food items do you always have on hand in the fridge/kitchen? If it were up to your SO, what would his/her three items be?
Me: Whole grain bread, kerrygold cheddar cheese (@CopperBoom86have you ever had this? I get it from Costco and it's amazing!), dried unsweetened mango (it sounds random, but it tastes like candy and I'm obsessed with it)
DH: Trail mix, cereal, bacon
It's a boy!

Rants/Raves/Questions?
Soo I took the glucose test two weeks ago and my results came back a tad higher than the normal (sad) I had to go back to my doctor the following week and take the 3 hour glucose tolerance test. Let me tell you guys, it was the worst 3-4 hours everrr. (Exxagerating a bit). I'm hoping everything is fine but I won't find out the results until my next appointment. I'm about to start lurking and catching up on the GD post just in case
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
All the mucus I had during the first trimester is back just not as bad. I have to constantly drink water all day to keep it down. No cravings or aversions. However, the leg cramping and restless nights?????? Smh horrible
GTKY: What three food items do you always have on hand in the fridge/kitchen? If it were up to your SO, what would his/her three items be?
Water, eggs, milk ( not my fave foods. Just something that's always in the fridge lol
he would probably always have water, oatmeal, and avocados lol
@serenaxo84 - thinking positive thoughts for you!!!
@Blonde1817 - I know what you mean, I did WAY too much on Saturday and at one point bent over and felt horrible pain. I started freaking out, but it went away pretty quick. I realized that I just overdid it. My doctor said that if you ever start feeling like that, to just sit down, take it easy and drink some water (dehydration can cause it too). I need to start paying more attention to my body!
@zuzu87 - Welcome back! Thinking positive thoughts for you as well - keep us posted on the results!
@AllyTheKid - Your comparison pics on HDBD are crazy! And that fact that you got into those jeans amazes me. I wouldn't even attempt it...we'd have to call the fire department to get me out!!

@Blonde1817 Glad you got to see bean again and your growth scan went well! And I've been saying I was going to get a baby belt for weeks now and still haven't... I need to get on it because little man is killing me!
@zuzu87 Good luck with your results!
