What size is baby? A papaya.
Upcoming appointments? Had one yesterday. Had a Group B Strep swab done, a whooping cough vaccination and she confirmed that baby girl is breech and set a c-section date for October 1. I go for an ultrasound next Thursday to see if she is still breech then we will talk more that day about c-section.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I have come to terms with having a c-section and do not even mind having one. But when I tell people baby is breech, seems like it's the end of the world and they say there is still time for baby to flip. I don't mind that baby is breech. Any way I get baby into this world, is fine by me!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Still craving orange pop and cereal. Symptoms are heartburn, congestion and headaches ... among other things.
GTKY: What is your favourite or most effective way to relax when life gets stressful? Wine and girl talk.

GTKY: What is your favorite or most effective way to relax when life gets stressful? Just listen a good song or dancing with or with a good ice cream cone....
What size is baby? a mini-lop rabbit! I want!
Upcoming appointments? We had an appointment and growth ultrasound yesterday and it was SO disappointing. We didn't get to see anything on the screen that remotely looked like a human part. No face, no foot, nothing. However, the baby is measuring at 53rd percentile, so exactly where she's expected for her gestational age, and her head is down. I forgot to ask which way she is facing but I'm pretty sure she's facing the back.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I am so over this gestational diabetes crap. At first it was a change, but it was surprisingly doable. I didn't miss stuff as much as I thought and I liked the stuff I did eat more than I thought. At this point I just want to eat a sleeve of Ritz and a bag of jelly beans and and and (maybe that should go under cravings... I just want me some carbs, man. Some refined carbs.) I'm actually getting tired of cheese. I didn't know that was possible.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? The coochie pressure. The bladder pressure combined with the inability to pee more than a trickle. I do have some sort of bladder infection, too, and know that it's best to empty the bladder completely, but I don't seem physically capable of that at the moment.
GTKY: What is your favorite or most effective way to relax when life gets stressful? Solitude, television, and food!

I'm 36 weeks! And as of today have less than a month until my due date. Baby is the size of a papaya.
I had an appointment yesterday and had to get the strep b swab and HIV test. Apparently here in Atlanta, there are an alarming number of moms that test negative during the first trimester screening who test positive at delivery. It's mostly attributed to risky sexual behavior, but it's now mandatory so I had to get stuck yesterday.
Heartburn is is still really bad, so I'm going to sleep on a recliner from now on. Other than that, I'm just super hungry all. The. Time.
My favorite ways to relax is to go out and get a beer (it must be draft), take a trip or have an orgasm. Whichever is most convenient at the time.
