Rants/Raves/Questions? FINALLY feeling better. Also, today I am wearing non-maternity pre-pregnancy jeans. I've lost enough weight from being sick that a lot of my maternity gear is too big.
Symptoms? I'm hungry. All. The. Time.
GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up (borrowed from October 2016 community)? A mermaid.

GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up (borrowed from October 2016 community)?
First, crew aboard rainbow brite's ship. Second, a kangaroo, third, a native american (I misunderstood "you can be anything you want" for a long time). Then I wanted to be an olsen twin. Finally, I thought I wanted to be a journalist.
What size is baby? butternut squash or bowling pin - are those the same size?
Upcoming appointments? not for about 2 more weeks
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Symptoms? my back is really getting sore. My snoogle was helping for a while, but I'm back to waking up with back pain every morning. YUCK!
GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up (borrowed from October 2016 community)? a nurse or wonderwoman - either would have been fine with me!
26!!!
What size is baby?
A bunch of kale???

Scheduled my glucose test for Thursday. So excited...NOT!
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rant - stupid, bloody storm better not mess with my travel plans! I'm ready to go home already!!!! And I must have gained 10 pounds on this trip, all the food I was eating. I'm gonna go home and not eat as much. I have a food baby on top of the real baby at this point...
Raves - THE FOODS!!!! OMG, had so much good food this trip. Squish was loving it!
Symptoms?
The leg cramps...gah. Hungry all the time (probably because of all the good food), gas (also because of the foods, haha), pregnancy brain is unreal, some Braxton hicks starting up, peeing every 20 minutes.
GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up (borrowed from October 2016 community)?
Dolphin trainer.
TTC since 6/13
Diagnosed w/ PCOS 4/9/15 - R/E recommended lifestyle change
BFP 4/10/16 - DS born 12/16/2016
SURPRISE! BFP 3/8/18
What size is baby? Cantaloupe... the size jumps on this app make no sense to me.
Upcoming appointments? Endo appointment thursday and then I get the joyous glucose test/ Tdap appointment at the end of the month.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I think the baby is on the verge of a growth spurt because I have been a starving, emotional wreck this last week.
Symptoms? Heartburn is starting to pick back up. The baby has definitely moved up a bit, which my groin/cervix is thankful for, but now eating is getting annoying again. Pregnancy brain is super real, and I'm over it.
GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up (borrowed from October 2016 community)? A person who makes cheese... a cheese maker if you will. After first grade I wanted to be a doctor.
What size is baby? A grapefruit
Upcoming appointments? No, not until 9/20
Rants/Raves/Questions? Baby has been moving more that I can feel which I'm super thankful for. Will I regret that statement eventually??
Symptoms? Strangely I'm either so hungry I could eat everything in sight or nothing sounds appealing and I'm not hungry at all. It such opposites and I've been going in spurts of one or the other. Other than that, sleeping is so uncomfortable, I HATE side sleeping.
GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up (borrowed from October 2016 community)? I literally wanted to be everything at one point in time. The best story I have is for career day in preschool I went as a lifeguard and then when I was 16 I started working as a lifeguard in the summer so I told my parents jokingly I could just stop since I had reached my career goals. For awhile I wanted to be an astronaut... I still I'm jealous I'm not...
TTC since November 2015
BFP #1 12/17/15 - MC 1/28/16
BFP #2 4/22/16 - EDD 12/30/16
What size is baby? they don't make sense...
Upcoming appointments? not until the 15th when I have my previa check.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I still can't fight this cough. Today I feel so weak I can hardly stand. Also woke up at 3am with splitting headache then had some violent regurgitation around 530. Migraine during pregnancy sucks.
Symptoms? I don't know what's from being stuck for a month vs the pregnancy at this point.
GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up? a preschool teacher. Then an astronomer or astrophysicist. That led to pondering about jobs and I decided history teacher is probably the best course. My first day at college I looked at the credits I had accrued through evening courses at the community college and realized I could graduate in 3.5 years with a dual math/secondary education degree but history would take 4. So then I was to be a math teacher.
I did not want to do what my mom did (computer scientist for govt). Well...I sit 2 cubes down from where my mom sat for years. She still works here, as does DH. So much for my plans!
What size is baby? Fennec Fox...awwwwwww OR bunch of bananas! Are we talking like "I really need a lot of bananas because I'm using them in shakes this week" bunch or a "Let's get them kinda green and not so many because I might decide I don't like bananas this week" bunch?
Ladies, these apps are crazy.
Upcoming appointments? 9/6, I'm assuming we will schedule the dreaded glucose test then
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant: I am so ridiculous this week. Crying, frustrated, angry....where did this come from!? I don't like it. I guess I've been fairly stable for long enough. Welcome the crazy.
Rave: DH got me a FULL HOUR prenatal massage for my birthday which is on Friday. *swoon* Some days I want him to go away but I'm spoiled this week. I'm too cheap to pay for a full hour. lol
Symptoms? EVERYTHING HURTS
GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up (borrowed from October 2016 community)?
My grandparents have a VHS of me standing up at an awards banquet (3rd grade?) and announcing that I wanted to be an artist. This did not work out, as my art teachers obviously were all liars. I sucked. Then I wanted to be a physical therapist, which stuck until I got to college and decided to change majors. I'm a recreation therapist, so at least I stuck with the therapy thing.
@l9i I'm usually a side sleeper but wouldn't ya know it, I only want to sleep on my back now. DH wakes me up often with "roll over! you can't do that! the baby!!"
@sourlemon hope you feel better soon, you've had it rough. Migraines anytime suck, but pregnancy + migraine is so much worse!
@slartybartfast I would have fully supported your aspirations if we were friends as kids.

Besides working in the same building and walkinh almost every day at lunch together, we have lunch or dinner at least once a week together and sometimes hang out more. I'm glad we are close now but at 16 I was the worst daughter ever and never would have thought our relationship would be so awesome now.

How many weeks? 27!
What size is baby? Lettuce? But I know he is about 2 pounds 5 oz according to my sono yesterday!
Upcoming appointments? Not this upcoming week but the following. Starting to go to my midwife every 2 weeks now.
Rants/Raves/Questions? When my crazy self changed jobs 20 weeks pregnant, I went to work for a group of OBGYNs... Ironically since I use a midwife, but I get free sonos now and yesterday one of the girls gave me a 3d ultrasound so I could get some pics of my boy! Can't stop staring. I want to shove pics in everyones face like LOOK AT MAH BABEH!!!!
Symptoms? Hungry all the time, leg cramps, groaning every time I get up or sit down.. I can only imagine how this next trimester will beach this figurative whale.
GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up (borrowed from October 2016 community)? I wanted to be a doctor... Now I just work for them. Way easier. Laziness for the win.
What size is baby? Kale according to The Bump, butternut squash according to my other app
Upcoming appointments? I was supposed to have my glucose test today but long story, it didn't end up working out. So I'll have to go for it again next weekend then reschedule my 28 week appointment that's the following week. Annoying.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant: People seem to think that it's a compliment to say things like "wow, you're so small for 26 weeks!" I think that they think they're being nice by telling me I look skinny, but all it does is give me anxiety about me not gaining enough weight and/or Baby not growing correctly. Also, stop asking me how I feel. I'm fine, and if I wasn't I wouldn't tell you anyway because it's none of your business.
Rave: We finally got 3 rooms in our house re-carpeted, one of which was Baby's room. Now I can start buying things to put in it!
Symptoms? Not sleeping well. Swollen feet - DH thinks he's going to buy me nurse shoes to wear to work. Ha.

For awhile my sister and I were going to be professional ballerinas. After performances we were going to go to my brother's sign-making shop and help him paint road signs (all 3 of us thought you just painted stop signs, etc. on pieces of wood).
