    How big is baby? Kale or a bowling pin

    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.

    How big is baby? Kale

    Any appointments this week? Nope

    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.

    Now I want a Caesar salad...

    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!

    @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.  :)

    BabyMC517 Yes! I miss sleeping on my stomach so much. 

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

    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!!!
