Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Same old same old. Back hurts at night and now when I sit too long in the recliner. I bought an exercise ball and I sit there when my back starts to hurt. It does help and it motivates me to do some stretches.

GTKY: Happy October! How do you gear up for fall/Halloween?
I live in the northeast where the leaf peepers abound. Fall is my favorite! We don't really get trick-or-treaters at our house, but I still like to put out the mums and a pumpkin or two. We also have a black cat, so he's always ready for Halloween.

not this week
I'm starting to feel excited about having a baby. Like I've known the whole time that at the end of all this, we will have a baby but it was more factual knowledge and less emotional, and now I'm feeling more attached and excited. If only DH would get there too... I think he's still in denial.
I'm feeling more pain in my hips this week. They hurt at night when trying to sleep and the right one hurts throughout the day- can you get carpal tunnel in your leg? I think that's what it feels like- pain in the joint then slightly tingly for a few inches down my leg. No strong aversions or cravings, but I'm always hungry but nothing ever sounds good!
I dont decorate much. I change the table cloth out and put a few pumpkins by the front door and pretty much call it good. We probably wont pass out candy on Halloween this year. Last year was our first in our new house and we got about five people. Not worth it to me!
Oh, and I change the goddess statue in our front yard from summer (sunglasses and a lei) to fall (scarf). I'll post a pic tomorrow!
DD- 11/2016
30 weeks, and no, I am not anywhere near ready.
cantaloupe? or zucchini? I guess that one zucchini that you forgot to pick and it now resembles an arm more than a vegetable.
bi-weekly check up on Tuesday, can't wait to see my regular doctor again and bug her about my baby's size and possible pre-eclampsia symptoms that I've been having. I've seen the midwives for the last couple of months. They are awesome, but also super non-nonchalant.
I am just not that into being social lately, and it seems like our social calendar is booked. It is hard on me to stand in one place too long, and it seems like that is a huge part of being social. My feet are swollen when I wake up, and it gets worse when I sit or stand in one place. I need to be moving, and getting the baby room ready! C'mon people!
Swelling, raise in blood pressure, speckles in my vision, back ache, belly button pain, swollen pelvic area (WTF?), grumpiness, and sleepiness. I could just be the seven dwarfs at this point. I have been craving lots of green things, like seaweed salad, cucumbers, spinach. I have been not wanting pizza. I don't know who I am anymore... lol
Well, normally planning out costumes with my daughters. But they already have their costumes, and DH is taking them to Disneyland for Halloween. Which is just fine with me, I am not ready to walk around a neighborhood for hours. Too much swelling. We do usually carve pumpkins and take drop them off at my mom's on Halloween. We live on an acre of land, and all of our neighbors have 1-6 acres, plus there are no street lamps, steep hills, and scary long driveways. There are zero trick or treaters in our hood. We usually drive over to the rich neighborhoods by the water and score tons of full-size candy bars.This year, I will be at home sleeping!
But my mom is having my baby shower for me on the 29th, and thankfully she is into not doing games, I've been to (and planned) too many baby showers lately! I just want to eat, sit, and draw on baby onesies.
28! Yay third tri!
Eggplant
My glucose test is Tuesday morning. Boo! Then every other week appointments start...no way!
My cousin got married yesterday and it was a beautiful day! Also, things are looking more promising for DH getting a new job!! That's a huge rave, but also a little scary because we may end up moving really close to baby Ella's birth. Yikes.
I gave in and went back to taking diclegis. It makes such a big difference in how my stomach feels. I am generally achy and sore, probably from all the standing/holding DD at the wedding yesterday. I'm also having a lot of BH so I plan on asking about that at the doctor Tuesday.
We live pretty much in the NC mountains and the leaves are about to start turning and will be beautiful really soon, so we'll probably go on some sightseeing drives! Other than that I plan on making some little fall decorations. I love fall so much.

A week from today. Won't be anything special.
I'm really enjoying parenting my lil dude right now, and conversly NOT enjoying pregnancy. I'm ready to be done. Also, reading all the October 16 announcements makes me really jealous and ready to snuggle a squish.
Nothing new. I slept on an amazing mattress when at a wedding this weekend and had no hip pain for 3 days. Forgot to ask what the mattress was, but it was so awesome I might call back and ask, haha.
I will get zero trick or treaters, but will buy candy anyway under teh ruse that we must be prepared! Also I get really excited about dressing up the dogs and going trick or treating in town every year and never do, so I guess dreaming up ridiculous costumes is how I gear up for Halloween, lol.
Zucchini which seems much smaller than the other veggies have been.
I am really really behind (or at least it feels this way) so I'm hoping to get things done around here before LO comes!
All of the above
30 weeks!!
Zucchini or cucumber
I am most likely just going to my primary care doctor to get the Tdap since my OB's office doesn't provide it.
THE NURSERY FURNITURE HAS BEEN ORDERED!! (Can you tell I'm super excited about this?!?!)
Nothing new, some old pregnancy issues.
Decorating the house, apple picking, usually pumpkin beer (I'll have to buy and save some for after baby is born), and switching from iced lattes to hot lattes.
