Rants/Raves/Questions? Starting to get baby boys room together...makes it feel so real!
GTKY: What do you look most forward to doing once baby is born (something you can't do while pregnant)?
I look forward to eating Caesar salad!!!! I don't know why but I crave it soooo much when I'm pregnant. My hubby had it ready for me after I delivered our first! Hahaha
Symptoms? Nausea a few times. Sore boobs. Heartburn. Crankiness.
Cravings? Chocolate. Breakfast foods.
Rants/Raves/Questions? MH has been amazing. Trying to think of something nice I can do for him before LO arrives.
GTKY: What do you look most forward to doing once baby is born (something you can't do while pregnant)? Sushi! I've been craving it so much. And whiskey. Can't wait to have a nice Old Fashioned.
Any appointments this week? On the 28th, gotta get my GD screening done
Symptoms? Still acid reflux, back pain, having a harder time waking up to work out at 5:00am, lots of movement (although wonderful, sometimes annoying)
Cravings? Sweets, salty, everything.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm so looking forward to my shower on April 2nd. I want to get the baby's room ready but obviously have to wait. I'm also going to LA to visit my sister & BIL, Thursday-Monday which I'm so pumped about.
GTKY: What do you look most forward to doing once baby is born (something you can't do while pregnant)? Drink!! I know I can have a glass of wine or a beer once in a while, but its not the same! Work has been so stressful so having a glass (or two) after work is really enjoyable. @m3ganmc I still have caesar salad! I guess I don't really listen to most of the rules with the exception of what drugs to stay away from.
Symptoms? Just some nausea, but it seems to be going away
Cravings? Green apples, grapefruit, hot tamales, mini chewy sweet tarts
Rants/Raves/Questions? I start my new job on Monday and I'm pretty excited. When I talked to my supervisor she also seemed excited and they made my training schedule slightly different so I'll be working on my own for longer before I'll be on leave.
GTKY: What do you look most forward to doing once baby is born (something you can't do while pregnant)? Lately I have just really wanted a strawberry Reds. They are all I can think about and sometimes talk about. I keep forgetting that we shouldn't be having caesar salads, so I've had a ton. But I also don't remember it being on my doctors no list.
<lurking from Friday> It's my understanding that most places don't prepare a "true" Caesar dressing with the egg. More often than not it's a bottled/prepared dressing. I can understand the appeal in wanting a good, true version, like from a fancy place, because it's delicious.
I've totally had Caesar salads lol but yeah probably not authentic...it wasn't on my dr's list either so I never really thought about it.
How far along are you? 27 weeks tomorrow
How big is baby? Deflated basketball lol or lettuce according to the bump
Any appointments this week? Nope
Symptoms? Tired, irritable, overwhelmed and feeling unprepared...not really a baby symptom but that's how I feel.
Cravings? Nothing in particular...I guess chocolate the last couple of days hence the Phish food ice cream last night...I tend to go back and forth between salty and sweet which is how my periods were. I wonder if that has any correlation? Lol
Rants/Raves/Questions? H has given me at least 2 foot massages his week which was very sweet and then getting the ice cream last night. His birthday is coming up and I'd like to do something for him but we should be closing on the house that day and all of our extra cash is going to that...does that count? Lol
GTKY: What do you look most forward to doing once baby is born (something you can't do while pregnant)? Lay on my stomach...I don't usually sleep on my stomach but knowing I can't makes me want to do I can stretch out!

Cravings? Matzoh ball soup and soft pretzels
Rants/Raves/Questions? DW wants to cuddle all night in bed but I just want space to move freely. I love you, but get on your side of the bed! Also, how do you politely tell people they have rank breath? My preg nose cannot handle it
GTKY: What do you look most forward to doing once baby is born (something you can't do while pregnant)? all the time off work :-D
@chailife34: On the rank breath thing: I don't really say anything but I kind of do this loud exhale thing through my nose and take a step back, and hope they get the hint.
Symptoms? Sciatica, back pain, insomnia... and I know this is probably tmi, but anyone else feel like their pelvis is separating??? Hurts and so uncomfortable!!
Cravings? Cookies, candy bars
Rants/Raves/Questions? Going home to see my fam this coming weekend and I'm excited to see everyone!

Rants/Raves/Questions? Nothing really...looking forward to spending some time with my family. DD and I never get to see them anymore.
GTKY: What do you look most forward to doing once baby is born (something you can't do while pregnant)? Enjoy some drinks with DH, wear my normal clothes, get my garage tattoo fixed and most of all sleep on my stomach, sleeping on my sides kills my hips and the pillow crap just doesn't cut it.

Cravings? Nothing particular
Rants/Raves/Questions? Had my baby shower yesterday. It was beautiful and perfect. Very happy with how lucky we are to have great people in our lives.
GTKY: What do you look most forward to doing once baby is born (something you can't do while pregnant)? sleeping in whatever position feels nice and having some relief from gallbladder or just getting it out. Eating chicken and eggs like a normal person. Haha. (Food aversions) I for sure thought booze would be on my list but surprisingly I haven't really missed it at all.
@lilmisscrafty and @thistlenweeds don't forget you can do the cooked varieties; all crab and shrimp sushis are cooked. I've had sushi 3-4 times.
Caesar salads never even occurred to me!!!

I also did not think about caesar salads being a no-no. Though I doubt I've had any that were truly authentic.
