What size is baby? the size of a zach morris phone! or a romaine lettuce
Upcoming appointments? Sometime this week. I was supposed to have it Monday afternoon, but I have a work meeting and as this is my last week, I can't really push off the work meeting. Since its likely to be a "yep. Still preggers. Any symptoms? cool. See ya next week!" kind of appt, I'm not really feeling its all that necessary to do it on Monday.
Rants/raves/questions? I am done. I feel like baby is dropping and undropping-there are days or times of days that I feel so much intense pressure in my vagina that i am walking carefully for fear that something will just fall out. Then there are days like yesterday morning and today where I am like, yeah I could go for a walk. Let's do that!
Symptoms/cravings/aversions? I had a mini bout of mornign sickness this week. Tomatoes are giving me reflux. And I can't really handle meat in most forms, I just eat around it. Burgers are the exception, but everyone is undercooking their burgers and its making me not like them.
GTKY (stolen from The Thursday Ladies): What are you most looking forward to eating or drinking post pregnancy? I miss alcohol. I have been collecting my fave beers from the seasons I haven't been able to drink in-my fave summer beer is in the pantry, my fave IPA from back in Indiana is in the pantry, I have 4 different pumpkin beers...I don't know which I'll bust open first but I'm pretty stoked to do so.
@SmashJam remind me- are you a Hoosier? I ask because I am and wondered what beer it was you were talking about! That's a great idea to have stocked up on beers over the season! I'm dying for a summer shandy or pumpkin beer!
@Gizmo1231 I am a Hoosier transplanted to VT! My fave beer ever is not from Indiana, I just bought it when I was there- Bell's Two Hearted IPA.They sell it on the east coast in bigger markets but its like VT boycotts it because we like our own beer better, lol.
Upcoming appointments? this upcoming Wednesday we will hear about our most recent ultrasound. I'm thinking I will have one more appointment in 2 weeks from Wednesday and then down to weekly - wow!!
Rants/raves/questions? Literally, even water gives me heartburn at this point. On a positive note, I tried a new position with my body pillow and I SLEPT AMAZINGLY last night. Holy cow - I hope that was not a fluke.
Symptoms/cravings/aversions? Yesterday was killer on my back. It doesn't hurt during the day most days, but from time to time, it just hurts with no relief.
GTKY (stolen from The Thursday Ladies): What are you most looking forward to eating or drinking post pregnancy? In the birth center, right after baby comes, DH is going for spicy tuna roll and Diet Coke. When I get home I am looking forward to Nine Pin Cider. I used to be all about craft beer, but since becoming gluten free for health reasons 2.5 years ago, I've had to look to ciders - most of which I think are gross and taste like apple juice. But this stuff is soooo good. I can't wait. I'll probably get drunk on one sip, haha!
Upcoming appointments? Thursday, first internal exam as well as GBS
Rants/raves/questions? Ever since DH went to sleep in another room I have slept so well I feel kinda bad, but sleep is so good haha
Symptoms/cravings/aversions? Had a random craving for pepsi, took a few sips ice cold and it was just so good! The pressure/ urge to pee has just kicked in, oh and I'm feeling SO DAMN HOT!!! Like literally lounging in shorts and a t shirt when the outside temp is in the 40s...
GTKY (stolen from The Thursday Ladies): What are you most looking forward to eating or drinking post pregnancy? Cannot wait for caffeinated coffee again! I'm also hoarding some pumpkin beer

A cold on top of late pregnancy equals one heck of a struggle to breathe. But I suppose the cold symptoms do distract from the pregnancy ones, so there's that.
I'm looking forward to an espresso martini. Caffeine and alcohol, yum. Sushi too.
@littlebirdie28 I am loving the craft ciders they have up here in VT as well-with a lot of them they put the same hops they would use in beer and it makes it drier. They are also like, 7% alcohol and come in 16oz cans. I have to slow myself down and remind myself they are so high in alcohol because they are so good!
Not really. I'm glad TB is finally working for me again. I didn't log in for a week or two because life was crazy and then it had me in some kind of weird bump twilight zone where I wasn't able to post or love anything!
Symptoms/cravings/aversions?
Too many BH for my liking. I know it's common but I've been having way more than I did at this point with DD and it makes me nervous.
GTKY (stolen from The Thursday Ladies): What are you most looking forward to eating or drinking post pregnancy? Thanks to my GD diagnosis, I am looking forward to eating EVERYTHING. I've decided that every visitor will have an "admission ticket," so to speak. You want to visit us? Sure, bring me a hot fudge sundae. You expect to hold the baby while you're here? Add a pizza to that sundae, please.

Oh my gosh, reading this post just made me want so much beer and sushi!!!! Although I must admit, I've eaten raw sushi 4 or 5 times since becoming pregnant. Not raw sushi many, many times- all I wanted during 1st tri were cucumber rolls!!
How many weeks? haha, I couldn't remember and I had to look up how many weeks! I'm 36
What size is baby? I got large cantaloupe, ripe papaya, but I'm sure the baby has been both of those things before...
Upcoming appointments? Wednesday! I haven't heard anything about the GBs swab, but am sure they will tell me to take my pants off eventually.
Rants/raves/questions? I'm so not looking forward to having family guests over to my house for thanksgiving, less than 2 weeks before my RCS. I hope it snows in the mountains so they can't make it, or that I go into labor before then!!!
Symptoms/cravings/aversions? Carpel tunnel in my hands. Crazy BH, seriously, they are out of control. I get at least 6 an hour, which my Ob has deemed normal for me. Oh, and I want to eat everything. Gimme all the food.
GTKY (stolen from The Thursday Ladies): What are you most looking forward to eating or drinking post pregnancy? I would say yummy beer (I love me some Redhook, fat tire, and all the medium to dark beers!)- but I know from experience that when I drink a beer while lactating, it just goes straight to my boobs and turns them into rocks. So I'm going to say real, raw sushi without the guilt or fear!
How many weeks? 37!! When I got put in bed rest at 25 weeks, we seriously doubted I would make it this far. Last night was the end of my restrictions and medication, so we'll see how much longer baby hangs out in there
What size is baby? romaine lettuce
Upcoming appointments? weekly appointment on Friday, if baby's still cooking!
Rants/raves/questions? Finally finished the nursery, DH and I went out to a nice dinner last night, and generally feeling ready to meet out little girl! Plus, I finally went a week without gaining weight.
Symptoms/cravings/aversions? I've been pretty hungry this week, but nothing has really sounded that good.
GTKY (stolen from The Thursday Ladies): What are you most looking forward to eating or drinking post pregnancy? I love me some dessert wine, especially moscato. And I'm looking forward to eating yummy food without the terrible heartburn afterwards.
Upcoming appointments? Tuesday I have my 36 week appointment. I'm sure it will be a, "hi, how are you, baby sounds great, see you next week" deal. I did the GBS last week along with a BPP test/ultrasound.
Rants/raves/questions?
Symptoms/cravings/aversions? PIZZA! I had it last night and today. I'm obsessed.
GTKY (stolen from The Thursday Ladies): What are you most looking forward to eating or drinking post pregnancy? Like many of you... beer! I can't wait to have a pumpkin ale or a glass of wine!
Rants/raves/questions? we had to make a trip to l&d on Friday evening for consistent contractions and I had to have two shots to get them stopped. Now I'm on bed rest until my doctor opens up on Monday to see what he wants me to do. It is not easy with a toddler around but DH is doing amazing with helping me.
Symptoms/cravings/aversions? just small contractions here and there along with the normal aches and pains. I wanted a cherry limeade badly yesterday!
GTKY (stolen from The Thursday Ladies): What are you most looking forward to eating or drinking post pregnancy? i want a fruity cocktail!
