  How far along are you? 27 weeks
  

  
  

  How big is baby? A head of lettuce or a bottle of sriracha!
  

  
  

  Appointments this week? Not until 1/20 (big one - lots of bloodwork and glucose test)
  

  
  

  Symptoms? Definitely feeling some third tri-type stuff now like acid reflux when I bend over, back pain, discomfort when standing up, etc.  Also, I feel like I wasn't doing the "cry at the drop of a hat" thing until this past week when it's happened twice over really minor issues.  Feeling more and more anxious in general, like I'm not getting things done fast enough.
  

  
  

  Rant/Rave/Questions? I had an amazing holiday break (off from 12/23 until 1/3) but very busy, and I feel like my body didn't fully recover from it - I need this weekend to get here ASAP!
  

  
  

  GTKY: What's the most amazing meal you had recently? I was in Orlando with DH and the college band he works with last week and we went to a tapas restaurant that was ahhhhhhmazing.  So much good, craveable stuff.  Want to go back!!

  How far along are you? 27 weeks - almost 3rd tri!

  
  

  How big is baby? Lettuce or rutabaga apparently...

  
  

  Appointments this week? On Monday I will have my glucose test and a sono

  
  

  Symptoms? Just really out of breath and feel like I have to make lots of "noises" getting in/out of bed, up off the floor etc haha! Also still SO tired again. Have lots I could get done but pretty much as soon as DS gets to bed I am in mine! Super sensitive and irritable to everything too.

  
  

  Rant/Rave/Questions? Probably goes with the being super sensitive but my rant is people commenting on my size. I honestly don't feel THAT big, bigger than with DS yes, but not massive or anything. I know people are trying to be funny or whatever but it's not. Please, for the sake of my emotions and me not going off on you, please stop commenting. It kind of sent me into a "I look terrible" mood yesterday.

  Rave - our babies are coming this year! 3 months from tomorrow is my due date - what?!!

  
  

  GTKY: What's the most amazing meal you had recently? Um, probably my Grandma's Christmas dinner. She makes so much amazing food and I ate WAY too much!

  How far along are you? 26 weeks!

  
  

  How big is baby? Kale, a Double Gulp from 7-11, haha.

  
  

  Appointments this week? I have my monthly checkup tomorrow to go over my blood work from the glucose test. I passes the glucose, but am anemic, so we're going to figure out what to do about that.

  
  

  Symptoms? Pregnancy insomnia is back. I'm up for about an hour or two pretty much every night...it makes being back at work this week and my 4:30 am wake-up much more painful, haha. Also having LOTS of RLP lately...I went from not looking pregnant at all to popping out big time in a little more than a week...my body is so sore! But, at least I finally look a little pregnant now.

  
  

  Rant/Rave/Questions? DS went to sleep in his big boy bed and DIDN'T cry when I left the room! Whoop! He's been in there for a few nights and has slept through the night fine, but he would cry for a couple of minutes when DH or I left him alone in the room. But last night...no tears! I felt like a dang super hero, haha. Granted, I had to sit next to his bed for about 10 minutes while he got settled and give him the occasional back pat, but I'll take that if it means that he's comfortable in his new space. Such a relief to have him switched over so far in advance of baby girl's arrival!

  
  

  GTKY: What's the most amazing meal you had recently? DH made some INCREDIBLE homemade lasagna a couple of weeks ago...it was sooo goooood.

  @mylittleirvz what is wrong with people? Your bump is cute and not huge at all! Even if it was it's none of their business, and you look great.

  @mylittleirvz Yeah, people are dumb. I have no idea why anyone would send anything but positive vibes to pregnant women re: their size.  You look amazing!

  Can I still play? Work is seriously going to break me...
  
  How far along are you? 

  27 weeks

  How big is baby? 

  Cauliflower, rutabaga, or head of lettuce

  Appointments this week? 

  Nada

  Symptoms?

  TIRED. So tired. I've had lots of congestion and snot from the bipolar Texas weather, so that isn't helping either. RLP, braxton hicks, and reflux. Now that I write it all out, no wonder I've been a little cranky lately.

  Rant/Rave/Questions? 

  Rant: DS has not been sleeping well for a few weeks now. I have no idea why he's so restless and I feel horrible for him because I know he's exhausted by the end of the week. I fell asleep with him in his room last night, and tried getting twice (after being in there like 2 hours) and he noticed me get up because he had been stirring so much. He sleep talks, and even sat up and hit me. Like what the heck?

  My dad made these cream cheese/bleu cheese stuffed mushrooms at Christmas and they were to die for. I haven't enjoyed food like that in a long time. I'm glad they were small because they were super rich, but worth every calorie.

  How big is baby? a head of lettuce 

  
  

  Appointments this week? I had a meeting with a therapist yesterday 

  
  

  Symptoms? Overly emotional and just slowing down a little bit...we are finally getting around to clearing out the room that will be the nursery and it's frustrating me how slowly I'm working. I'm kind of a go-go/ energetic person especially with organizational and cleaning projects but this one is moving like cold molasses and it's driving me crazy! 

  
  

  Rant/Rave/Questions? I made my husband drive me to the Buy Buy Baby (that name is ridic) to buy a pregnancy pillow. It took half an hour to drive out there, cost a small fortune, and takes up half of the bed....but I am sleeping so much better so it's all been worth it! 
  

  
  

  GTKY: What's the most amazing meal you had recently? I've been cooking again recently which has been really nice. I love cooking so when I am too tired to deal with it, it's a bummer. Last night I made an Indian cauliflower soup and homemade naan. It was a lot of fun.

  @Omie_Wise - I completely understand how frustrating it feels when you want to move faster than your body allows you. I really struggled with that feeling my first pregnancy, and I hope that you can allow yourself some grace in knowing that it's perfectly okay for things to go slower than planned. I've had to remind myself the same thing many times this go-around, and it has made things much easier to handle.

  @Omie_Wise Re: the pregnancy pillow... I am still getting used to my Snoogle.  I was all back sleeper, all the time and I'm trying to switch to side and it's not easy.  I feel supported and comfortable when I go to sleep, but my back also reeeeeeally hurts in the morning the last few mornings.  I hope my body adjusts to it because I made the investment and I really want it to work!
