Rants/Raves/Questions? Raving about getting good sleep last night for the first time in weeks! I feel like a new woman!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Lower back and tailbone pain.

I feel like this is a fair and accurate representation of my musical taste... except for maybe Saliva- it's a "running" song
Rants/Raves/Questions? I've been sleeping like a rock lately (according to my FitBit) but I've been a hormonal raging mess. DH is trying his best to help, but I just see every little thing that needs done and he doesn't care and I know it's me nesting but knowing that doesn't help lol.
Also a random: I had DD at 34 weeks; that's only 2 week away!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I guess my symptom is my hormones at the moment. That and my painful feet and hips. It's like I have carpal tunnel in my feet! My toes hurt and my ankles don't want to cooperate sometimes.
GTKY: Put your iPhone (iPod, iWhatever...) on shuffle and tell us the first 5 songs that pop up. "Buttons" - The Pussycat Dolls "Everything After" - Revis "Rash of Robberies" - State Radio "Bluebird" - Sara Bareilles "Too Much Food" - Jason Mraz
The State Radio and Jason Mraz are definitely DH's influence lol.
Countdown to Baby H! Mommy to Elizabeth (6/18/09), preemie at 34 weeks
Upcoming appointments? Sept 1st is my next check up
Rants/Raves/Questions? I just feel like a crazy person. I hate pregnancy emotions. I'm also very ready to not have to come to work every day. I wish my office was like others that allowed for a flex/work from home schedule, because this commute plus work stresses is really starting to wear on me.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Lately I want melted cheese all the time. I still hate everything else, and had a random sudden bout of puking again this weekend after eating cereal for breakfast. This baby just hates food lol
GTKY: Put your iPhone (iPod, iWhatever...) on shuffle and tell us the first 5 songs that pop up.

What size is baby? A naked-tailed armadillo? Thanks again, Ovia lol Upcoming appointments? I think next week.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I've been super scared of having a huge baby (mostly for the baby's health) because of my GD. I had an appointment yesterday and they said the baby is measuring 4.2 lbs, which they said is within "high normal" soooo, I guess that's good? I'm plugging along with my new GD diet. It's not bad! Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Craving everything I can't have. Of course.
GTKY: Put your iPhone (iPod, iWhatever...) on shuffle and tell us the first 5 songs that pop up. Guys, I don't have music on my phone

Doctor check up on Friday! Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave- I have not had any heartburn except for a couple times after something spicy. This has been really nice for a change. rant- the peeing is getting annoying. I know I have to drink lots of water in the heat but I hate all the peeing. Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Nothing that I can think of off the top of my head. GTKY: Put your iPhone (iPod, iWhatever...) on shuffle and tell us the first 5 songs that pop up. I don't have music either. I don't have enough storage on my phone.

Rants/Raves/Questions? None really- except having to take extra iron is killing my stomach! I also might have to stop wearing dresses to work- I can't stand the feeling of my stomach skin touching my thighs when I sit down.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? None really- I am just not into eating cheese burgers, which is what DH wants every day.

serenaxo84 the iron supplements have been doing a number on me too. My doc recommended a specific brand, SlowFe, which is supposed to be easier on the tummy? Not sure if that's what you're on too.
What size is baby? 16.7 in and 3.75lbs approximately. I am WAY over the item size comparisons. I'm having a baby, not a large jicama.
Upcoming appointments? Next Wednesday! Just had one last thurs. Everything is looking good. I struggled with gaining enough weight throughout this whole pregnancy and I am finally gaining some so the Dr is happy.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I don't want to go back to the same job so I have to start job searching...stress! As well as find a pediatrician.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I think my stomach and intestines are squished to the max. This visual feels pretty accurate
GTKY: Put your iPhone (iPod, iWhatever...) on shuffle and tell us the first 5 songs that pop up.
I just got a new iPhone (SE, I love it) and haven't put music on it yet, but I listen to pop to bluegrass to acoustic to rap. No old stuff though..
Rants/Raves/Questions? Does anyone else feel like their baby has dropped already? I've had people commenting that it looks like she has and I agree. Which freaks me out - definitely not ready for her arrival yet!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Omg, the heat is killing me!! And I'm one of those people who is normally always cold. But apparently everything is pretty normal because my symptoms this week say this:
"Hot! Your metabolic rate is through the roof, and that may leave you feeling overheated."
No sh*t!!!
GTKY: Put your iPhone (iPod, iWhatever...) on shuffle and tell us the first 5 songs that pop up. I'm one of those old school people who doesn't have music on their phone. In the car, I either listen to the radio or CDs. Yep, I'm THAT old school!

Upcoming appointments? I met with my OB today and ended up staying for a few hours on a monitor due to my blood pressure being high. It came down, my bloodwork was fine and I don't have any symptoms, but I get to go back on Friday for an ultrasound and bp check. The fun never ends!
Rants/Raves/Questions? Why can't anything be easy?
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? A friend texted me that he had to get a blizzard on his way home for his wife and now that's all I can think about...
GTKY: Put your iPhone (iPod, iWhatever...) on shuffle and tell us the first 5 songs that pop up. Phantom of the opera Starman by David Bowie My Church by Maren Morris I don't want this night to end by Luke Bryan Out Tonight from Rent (I like musicals)
@scostel2 yes! I am on those ones too. I've been eating 1 fiber gummy a day- so I'm now wondering if that is making it worse!? Right now they are having me do one every other day. I really don't want to not take them though bc my levels were 11 points below the low range.... And I have a high possibility of bleeding now/ and during delivery! Why does it have to be so hard! Have you tried a stool softener?
