Rants/Raves/Questions?
Not pregnancy related, butI woke early this morning to go the a popup Luke's diner in honor of the 16th birthday of Gilmore Girls. My shower is Saturday and I'm super excited!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
For the last several months, I've been eating a salad from McDs once a week and last time my husband brought me one I couldn't even look at it!
GTKY: What does your user name mean? My first and middle initials are J and P and I played both trumpet and baritone in college marching band making the trumptone part. I created the user name for other things long ago but keep using it :-)
What size is baby? acorn squash, Barbie convertible
Upcoming appointments?
Check up next week. Dentist appt today, but that's more for me haha
Rants/Raves/Questions?
In-laws are coming to town to co-throw a shower Sunday with my mom. Normally I might be excited, but I have a long list of things that are being checked off very slowly, and it's starting to stress me out! Especially since MIL and FIL are staying with us for a little over a week (they tend to overstay their welcome...) and DH and I still have to go on with our work and school lives while they hang around the house and want to visit with us.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
cheesecake.. and I have yet to get some
GTKY: What does your user name mean? Our baby book says "Baby Robbins: the adventure begins!" On the cover. Basically it's that. DH is super outdoors/adventure type, and based on what I have heard from In-laws, he was a handful as a child. Expecting a wild adventure with this baby!
How many weeks? 31! The weeks are just flying by now.
What size is baby? Asparagus, broccoli
Upcoming appointments? Hospital tour tomorrow!
Rants/Raves/Questions? SUPER excited about my baby shower on Saturday! My best friend, my parents, and my boyfriend's parents have all collaborated on it. I was talking to my dad about it yesterday and they all seem super excited about it, too, which makes me even more excited. Plus, my dad and my boyfriend's mom have evidently been talking every day for the past week or so regarding party plans, and when I told my boyfriend, he was so weirded out by that. He doesn't like being the center of attention ever.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Found a better way to use all my pillows at night, so I've been sleeping better. Leg swelling seems to be totally random, yesterday it was really bad but almost nonexistent the day before.
GTKY: What does your user name mean? My name, and then a combination of Smashing Pumpkins songs (33 and 1979).
Sorry I'm late to post- had a crazy Wednesday celebrating DS's bday.
How many weeks? 31 weeks
What size is baby? Asparagus
Upcoming appointments? none this week, but I will go next Wed so I'll post about it then!
Rants/Raves/Questions? I just want to sleep without waking up with excruciating back or hip pain!! No positions or pillows I have tried are working anymore. Waaaaahh!!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Besides all the aches and pains and varicose vein troubles, no new symptoms. No major cravings, still averse to some veggies here and there.
GTKY: What does your user name mean? My career/degree is a doctorate of pharmacy (PharmD) and I'm a mom. Creative, yeah I know. :-P
Upcoming appointments? Nothing for a few more weeks except the Chiropractor since DH finally convinced me to go. I'm feeling so much better since I caved and went.
Rants/Raves/Questions? HR lady at work is finally being somewhat helpful. I found out that only my scheduled work days count against my leave so Christmas break, our February break and Spring break will be like bonus time off. Which means I don't have to go back until the Monday after Easter!
Dh and I are going to Santa Cruz for an over night get away this weekend. I'm excited. He's been gone all week for work and I need some husband time.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Still craving sweets. Pickle aversion seems to be lessening some.
GTKY: What does your user name mean? Erik is Dh's name and Afton is mine.

No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
I'm late too...this week has been absolutely insane at work (I'm officially exhausted and I think my brain is on strike today).
How many weeks?
31 weeks on Tuesday
What size is baby?
Asparagus, foam finger (?)
Upcoming appointments?
Just a standard check in next week with the doctor, but I learned this morning that my practice also has a lactation consultant that they bring in at 32 weeks as well.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rave - I learned this week that my practice has a massage therapist on staff, so I scheduled one. A nice little treat to myself closer to 34 weeks, but something to look forward to for sure!
Rant - Work has been nuts (as in 12-14 hour days 4-5 days each week). I am tired, and at the end of the day/week my feet and legs freaking hurt! I have officially blocked my calendar to work from home at least one day/week until Thanksgiving, when I'm officially working from home until I go into labor. I'm the dummy for not taking better care of myself the last few weeks, but man, does it add up fast!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Symptoms - lower back and hamstrings are tighter now than they've been, so trying to keep moving. Craving sweets like no other these days. Tried the new pumpkin pie blizzard at DQ last week, and it is amazing. I don't like pumpkin spice flavored items, and I'm not a coffee drinker, but this blizzard is legit. Already looking forward to another one this weekend!
GTKY: What does your user name mean? All about me...first name, first initial of last name. The date has a double meaning now. My birthday is 12/16, and baby girl is due December 2016...hoping she doesn't come early
