Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm feeling pretty rotund these days. Not happy about that. I was talking to one of my good friends this weekend and she said that my ass has definitely gotten bigger. Gee, thanks.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? More and more hip pain these days. Thankfully, it's only severe at night. I'm okay during the day, but I have to hobble to bed every night like I've just had a hip replacement.
GTKY: How was your Labor Day weekend? Do anything fun? It was pretty good! College football is back and all is right with the world. I watched 4 games Saturday and even though my team lost, I still enjoyed it. Yesterday, we went to my parents' house for a cookout and time in the pool. That was an excuse to make buffalo chicken dip and banana pudding- two of my favorite things in the whole wide world. So yeah, good weekend, for sure.
Upcoming appointments? I'm sitting in the exam room as I type waiting to get checked!

GTKY: How was your Labor Day weekend? Do anything fun? I had a visit with a friend and her 2 year old and we danced to soul man from the Blues Brothers a lot and that was super cute. Other than that, tried to relax and do some things on our baby checklist!

Met with NICU team today incase we end up having the baby early but didn't really seem to have that many questions. I think it will all come out when/if anything happens.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm with you @CopperBoom86 I feel enormous! I feel like I look ridiculous trying to get up or change positions. I'm also constantly ravenous and I'm hoping this weight gain slows, it's been coming on pretty quick lately.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Like I said, craving all the food all the time lol. I've been feeling better lately overall, probably because it's been a little cooler, which is amazing. Can't wait for fall! I've been kind of irritable lately, and trying to have some self-compassion and not be frustrated with my fatigue. GTKY: How was your Labor Day weekend? Do anything fun? We went to the pool two days in a row, it was so nice! We also went to see a movie. It was a pretty relaxing weekend and we tried to keep our to do list limited so we could enjoy the peace!

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? @scostel2 - I agree, I'm either starving or I'm WAY too full!! GTKY: How was your Labor Day weekend? Do anything fun? It was great - Went to the trampoline park Thursday night (no, I didn't jump, but it was very tempting!), went to the "Burn the Point" parade (classic cars) on Friday, had a fun day of shopping/lunch w/ DS on Saturday, and Monday we celebrated my nephew's 2nd birthday.

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Continuing to rave... My feet don't disappear into cankle-land every night, and I have a
somewhat steady stream of energy to get what needs done. My carpal
tunnel is mild and my hands only really seem to go numb at night (although I sleep with braces).
No real cravings or aversions to speak of.
GTKY: How was your Labor Day weekend? Do anything fun?
Went to the county fair! We were there about 5 hours and surprisingly I didn't feel like garbage. It was almost completely humidity free, and there was lots of lemonade and sno-cones etc... so I made sure to stay well hydrated, which I know helped a lot. Then we finished up the immediate needs for this little guy, so if something should happen suddenly, he has clean clothes and a place to sleep. His room is still a mess (Ikea didn't give me a part I needed, and the closest is an hour away, so they are mailing it to me. Meanwhile I can't finish his room...) but he's sleeping with us for the first few months so his room can stay messy for a bit.
