Any appointments this week? Nope. Off the hook from 20-28 weeks because of scheduling issues. It's great!
Symptoms? If it's located between my knees and my ribs it hurts. Maybe I should lay off painting and refinishing my bedroom furniture but pregnant ladies gonna nest.
Cravings? I almost hugged the guy at the pho place for letting me order a la carte teriyaki fried tofu. So good.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I knew from the start I would switch docs at some point but now that it's happening for sure I'm weirdly bummed. I've only ever seen family medicine docs in pregnancy and OBs seem like they have no chill. We will see who I get though.
GTKY: What are you going to miss about being pregnant? Once I hit the bump not bloat stage it's the only time I'm ever really confident and feel like damn I look good.
Any appointments this week? Had one today. Measuring at 30 weeks. Explains my ultra largeness.
Symptoms? Heartburn and hormones
Cravings? Everything. Sugar.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Just worried about measuring big again. I measured big with DS2 and he came early and large. I just have bigger babies and a ton of fluid so he just ran out of room. Hoping to keep this baby in until at least 39
GTKY: What are you going to miss about being pregnant? Movement and nothing else. Ready to get him in my arms and a glass of wine in my hand and my sanity back(as much as possible with a newborn anyway)
Symptoms? Rib pain and aching ligaments are the newest additions.
Cravings? Nada.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Can anyone recommend a book about breastfeeding that isn't preachy?
GTKY: What are you going to miss about being pregnant? Great hair and having a super simple wardrobe. I might have to try this capsule wardrobe thing for real once I'm out of maternity clothes.
@cclaineDC I can't recommend any breast feeding books. I just kind of went with the flow with DD. I will say that my supply was pretty low and I am currently researching natural ways to up my supply for this one.

No book recs here. But for supply fenugreek worked ok for me. It didn't get me where I needed to be. But it did help. For me it was all about caloric intake. I needed to eat a lot to maintain my supply. Hard to lose weight but at least I lasted much longer feeding second baby.
I tried fenugreek @mamatowildones. I don't think it did all that much. Maybe eating more would help.
Also, pumping like a madwoman. The first month I did it so much that I probably wasn't resting nearly enough. I'd nurse and pump after every single time. It got me a 300 oz freezer stash. I never ever thought I could do that after drying up so fast with DS1.
