What size is baby? Asparagus, broccoli stalk, head of romaine lettuce - does anyone use ovia? It's been kind of crazy to see how big the pink hand is getting!
Upcoming appointments? I just had one on Tuesday, I go back in 2 weeks.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I've begun to sleep better! It's had to tell if it's a permanent thing or if I've just been so tired lately I'm sleeping more soundly.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I've been craving dairy (lots of cheese) and sweets.
GTKY: What does your user name mean? (Stolen from Wednesday Ticker change because I liked it) Mine is a mash up of my name. A few letters from my first name, middle initial and a few letters from my last name.
Every week, yesterdays was good. Em is head down, measuring 2-3 weeks ahead, and engaged in my pelvis.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
My OB is wonderful. He made sure I knew that i wasnt crazy for going in Sunday, and that the new software is probably why I was treated so shabbily.
Rant: My dad is being a jerk. He only allows me to drive the pickup(safest for his granddaughter) so yesterday I have an OB app at 10:30 & eye app at 2:45. So i get home around 4:30 as the eyes took 70 min. and I get yelled at for goofing off and taking too long. I had to show him the time stamps on the reciepts to get him to back off.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
I hate food. Nothing sounds good, and I have to make myself choke anything down.

Upcoming appointments? tomorrow - just a regular O/B appt
Rants/Raves/Questions? no. I'm just tired, can't get a good night's sleep and pee all the time. Oh and I feel disgusting and huge and want to cry every time I look in the mirror. Oh the beauty of pregnancy....
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? biscuits with butter and jelly. If I could eat those all day every day I'd be set.
GTKY: What does your user name mean? (Stolen from Wednesday Ticker change because I liked it) My middle name is Julia but I always perferred it to my first name. I despise my 1st name.

*PCOS/Hypothyroid/Ectopic Kidney/High DHEA-S* HSG - All clear, ectopic kidney didn't affect uterus (yay!) CT Adrenal Scan - no tumors!

I had a check up on Tuesday and have another in 2 weeks. We get another ultrasound then, but we're doing an elective 3D tomorrow! They used to do 3D at my dr but they stopped.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
The weather has finally changed and I LOVE IT! I feel a lot more comfy in fall clothes and can finally enjoy the outside with DS.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
This LO has decided she likes to go CRAZY at about 5 each morning! Like it feels like she's trying to get out! Haha
GTKY: What does your user name mean? (Stolen from Wednesday Ticker change because I liked it) I love running! It's my stress relief. I really started running hard after my Granny passed away from lung cancer, because it was a reminder that I have the ability to breathe. So many others struggle and would give anything to be able to feel their lungs working hard. I don't want to take it for granted, so I like to push myself that way. And of course, I love being a mommy! I haven't been able to run this pregnancy, but DS has been keeping me "running."
Rants/Raves/Questions? None that I can think of. Babydaddy is finally coming home after 4 1/2 months away, so yeah. I'm pretty excited
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Just mostly food. I don't know, nothing weird. Other than that, my sciatic nerve pain has really been cramping my style since Monday because I've been crazy busy working to help furnish & build all the furniture for the apartment MIL leased in my building. (Don't worry. She's only using it to visit! Otherwise it will be on Airbnb.)
GTKY: What does your user name mean? Nothing. Literally, this q came up when I was in TTGP and I realized my avatar/name revealed a lot about myself. So I found a picture ID myself as a kid dressed as a crayon. Looking pensive. It's lame, but it's too late to change it now!

@Kate08Young the baby is much more active during than the day than at night - pretty much the opposite schedule that he's been on for the past few months. So I'm thinking he's finally sleeping when I sleep.
Ha @Kate08Young I couldn't tell if you were talking about your human child or your fetus...because what human child is so cruel as to demand movies and snuggles at 2 a.m.?

What size is baby? Acorn squash or hawaiian pineapple
Upcoming appointments? OB visit next Monday 10/10
Rants/Raves/Questions? My BF is in Morocco on a trip with his sister right now, can't say I'm happy. I had several weird dreams about him going missing before he left, and another one about having the baby early. I'm sure it's just my worries manifesting themselves in my dreams, but it left me unsettled nonetheless. October 17th can't get here fast enough. I don't know how women with military husbands/BFs do it....my struggle is a joke in comparison, major respect to those ladies!!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Still loving all things sweet!
GTKY: What does your user name mean? (Stolen from Wednesday Ticker change because I liked it) Mine's pretty simple, the city where I live and my nickname.
Me: 39 DH: 36 Married: Sept 2018 DS: December 2016 #2 EDD Feb 2020
29 - time if flying, I can't believe how close we are to meeting our little ones!
What size is baby?
acorn squash
Upcoming appointments?
initial consultations with doulas this week & next, working on setting up a GD educational class if the nurse would ever call me back...
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I'm annoyed at the GD diagnosis. I'm glad to know that my body can't handle the equivalent of chugging 3 mountain dews in 5 minutes, so I will avoid doing so. However, my diet isn't crappy, and I've been monitoring my blood sugar levels when waking & after meals since I got the diagnosis and am doing absolutely fine. I'll keep monitoring, I'm just annoyed.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
No new symptoms or cravings, feeling decent except that I need more sleep.
GTKY: What does your user name mean? (Stolen from Wednesday Ticker change because I liked it) No meaning. Just part of my name.
Rants/Raves/Questions? My baby shower is this weekend but unfortunately neither my grandmother or DHs grandmother can make it as planned. My grandmother is in the hospital and DHs grandparents are now stuck in the hurricane in Florida.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Hip pain like crazy, reflux, and I'm sick with a cold.
GTKY: What does your user name mean? (Stolen from Wednesday Ticker change because I liked it) My name is meaningless. I used to use an old screen name from high school and DH found out and freaked that someone's would recognize me so I changed it to something totally random. No idea why or how I picked Penelope.
Upcoming appointments? Had one today. Was 1 centimeter dilated and my cervix has shortened significantly. Dr has me on light duty til she rechecks me on Monday. If I have progressed further, I'll be put on bed rest. FX that all goes well.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Just rants regarding my situation. Baby better stay put.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? None
GTKY: What does your user name mean? (Stolen from Wednesday Ticker change because I liked it) It's from a book series that I like.
How many weeks? 32! Although they moved my due date back to Nov. 28, so maybe I'm a bit ahead.
What size is baby? A pomelo or a squash. But if baby is supposed to be 3.5 pounds now, that's got to be one big ass squash.
Upcoming appointments? Doula on Saturday and midwives next week. And I just realized I missed my chiropractor appointment this morning. Hope they don't charge me too much...
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave: I actually slept about 7 hours last night. I woke up at 5:00 (an hour and a half before my alarm), but it's not hurting too bad since I actually got myself into bed by 10:00. I'll take it. Rant: My jaw hurts, but it's in a place where I'm kinda worried that it might be an issue with one of my molars. I so don't want to have to go to the dentist.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Runny/stuffy nose. I thought it was allergies but everyone else's fall allergies have subsided, and I'm still having trouble. Other than that, the usual - hips hurt, not sleeping well, some heartburn (though not terrible if I watch what I eat), shortness of breath.
