How big is baby? Bump says as big as lettuce
Any appointments this week? This week is glucose test before Friday and our multiples class is Thursday night at our delivering hospital!!
Symptoms? Pain in my lower regions when going from sitting/laying to standing. After 15-20 steps the pain dissipates, but it is excruciating for a minute.
Cravings? Ice cream! And salt:)
Team pink/blue/green? We are double pink
How big is baby? Eggplant
Any appointments this week? Glucose test Thursday - I originally had it scheduled for Friday, but now I have to catch an airplane. I wasn't thinking when I called to change it, and made it for 1:50... Now I have to be careful for TWO MEALS!
Symptoms? Not sleeping well and pain/soreness in my upper back/shoulders. I remember this pain from last time, and it didn't get better as the weeks counted up. : /
Cravings? I've been DYING for Zoe's!
Team pink/blue/green? TEAM GREEN
Rants/Raves/Questions? It's no secret that I don't love my MIL, but hubs said this week that they are giving us $500. toward gear for May Baby. So that's cool!
GTKY: What's is your all time favorite song? "Heads Carolina, Tails California" - I love it on its own, but it's also tied to so many memories with sweet friends.
How big is baby? Prairie Dog (some of these are just hilariously ridiculous).
Any appointments this week? None
Symptoms? Hip/upper leg pain when I sleep.
Cravings? None really. Thought I wanted brownies so I made them and then blah didn't sound good.
Team pink/blue/green? Pink!
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant: We've been trying to finish the nursery but have been waiting on the wallpaper. Was supposed to be shipped awhile ago but was finally shipped yesterday (have been waiting 2.5 weeks). I just want to get the room done and we have everything ready to go just waiting on that. Hoping to get it finished this weekend. Rave: my old college roommate is going to make me some dress paintings that I want but cannot find online. She's very artsy so I'm excited to see what she comes up with. Plus I love the personal touches.
GTKY: what's is your all time favorite song?
Bush- Glycerine
@emilyalso woohoo for inlaws stepping up once in awhile. That will help a lot.
How big is baby? Cantaloupe
Any appointments this week? Checkup tomorrow morning.
Symptoms? Getting a little out of breath at times.
Cravings? I've been devouring avocados lately. Yum!
Team pink/blue/green? Pink
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm monitoring my BP at home per my OB, and my numbers have been creeping up. Nothing scary, but definitely a trend upwards. Anxious to hear her thoughts tomorrow.
GTKY: What's your all-time favorite song? Tough one! Maybe the Eagles' "Take it Easy."
How far along? 27 weeks! I can't believe I'm in the single digits to my 36 week (most likely) planned induction date. In. Sane.
How big is baby? The size of a large bottle of Sriracha! (My fave comparison so far!)
Any appointments this week? I met with the liver specialist yesterday (due to my cholestasis)--it was a totally useless appointment. I think they are just trying to avoid any potential malpractice issues, so they are passing me to every doctor known to man to triple check that this is, in fact, cholestasis. Tomorrow morning, I have my second 1 hour glucose test (had my first one early because of borderline GD results last pregnancy)--hoping I pass! And I have a regular doctor check up tomorrow, too.
Symptoms? Heartburn. Like, really bad heartburn that prevents me from sleeping. And the medication I'm on for my cholestasis prevents me from using antacids. Just peachy!
Cravings? Chocolate. All I seem to want is chocolate. And I bought raspberries for my son and basically ended up eating the whole pint myself because they tasted so good. And now I want chocolate and raspberries, haha...
Team pink/blue/green? Pink!
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant-- MIL decided to make a last minute trip out here this week (she lives cross country) to spend "one last visit" with DS before the new baby comes. Of course, I love for him to have time with his grandparents, but I just don't feel like entertaining her. Like, at all. She's very difficult and high maintenance in a lot of ways. Rave--I ordered a new Boppy cover from an Etsy seller and it arrived yesterday! It's so soft and it makes me really happy!
GTKY: what's is your all time favorite song? This is such a hard one. Although it's cliche, I love Hallelujah--specifically the original by Leonard Cohen, but most of the iterations are really beautiful and just make me love it more. As a stand alone song, I've always loved Aerosmith's Cryin'.
@Kipperoo I feel you on the not entertaining aspect. Having guests is so much work. I'm interested in finding a boppy cover. I found one on amazon but am not in love. Who did you get your cover from on Etsy?

How far along? 27 weeks (whoa!)
How big is baby? Bunch of bananas (ok)
Any appointments this week? nope
Symptoms? Had some BH contractions, left groin pain
Cravings? Lemon plum (MH came across it at the grocery store and they are SO good. Felt like it was the middle of summer...)
Team pink/blue/green? Blue (woohoo)
Rants/Raves/Questions? Might come back to this...
GTKY: what's is your all time favorite song? Too many... but one that is sticking out is Soul to Squeeze by the Red Hot Chili Peppers

@Kipperoo good luck on passing your glucose!!
@SWE2 yay for the wallpaper FINALLY being shipped! Feel like that's quite a long wait, glad it's finally on the way so you can get the nursery set up.
@mrsrep123 thanks! One more week and you're there!! It's going so fast!

Rant: DH is sick and going to see today if he has the flu, FX I don't get sick from him! We are taking every precaution, like him sleeping on the couch and washing everything he touches!
Rave: Booked my 3D/4D ultrasound for March! I cannot wait to get a little sneak peak of what baby boy will look like!
Also we are supposed to get some pretty significant snow tomorrow so I hope that means a snow day and working from home for me!

@emilyalso You will be able to do some damage with that! How awesome!
@SWE2 You will have to share a pic of the wallpaper and art! I love wallpaper, but always lose my nerve to buy and hang it.
@slowmo Sorry about the creeping blood pressure. Hope it settles back down.
@Kipperoo Useless appointments make me stabby. Sorry they are making you see everyone under the sun to confirm something that is known. Also that etsy shop has beautiful stuff! Thanks for the share.
@mrsrep123 I am so intrigued by this Lemon Plum! I have never heard of such a thing.
@lilylover27 Hope you get your snow day!
How far along? 25 weeks
How big is baby? Feels huge, but apparently the size of a rutabaga. Now I want boiled dinner with rutabaga.
Any appointments this week? Had a regular check up on Monday. Same 'ol drill.
Symptoms? Super uncomfortable, shortness of breath, tired, and having dizzy spells. Basically passed out last night, but DH was holding me up. Not my fav.
Cravings? Sugar
Team pink/blue/green? Blue and getting so excited to have another little boy in the house.
Rants/Raves/Questions? None
GTKY: what's is your all time favorite song? Soooo hard. I can't pick. I feel like this changes frequently. At the moment maybe The Funeral by Band of Horses or something by Queen or Simon and Garfunkle. Genre would be easier for me to pick I guess.
