Any new symptoms or changes?

Rants/Raves/Questions?

GTKY: if money, time, etc...weren't an issue where would go and what would you do?

lanie1000 · April 2017

How far along are you? 27 weeks. Almost 3rd trimester!!

How big is baby? lettuce or a cucumber? These keep getting worse.

Any new symptoms or changes? SPD pain is still there and now I'm adding lower back pain to the mix.

Any upcoming appointments this week? Nope. Not this week.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I did a cross-country business trip for a big agency pitch earlier this week and I completely overdid it. I walked too much for my pelvis, I had to put my own luggage in the overhead bin while fully capable, muscular men just stared at me blankly, and I had to stand for hours in heels. When my husband picked me up last night I just fell apart and started crying in the car. He was so confused and worried but I couldn't explain it. It was just a pure mix of anger, frustration, sadness along with relief and the happiness of seeing him. Ugh...I used to be so much stronger.

GTKY: if money, time, etc...weren't an issue where would go and what would you do? I would buy an island in Belize and build a house for my family where we could take life slowly and focus on the things that really matter. I'd even build a couple of guest houses for my parents and in-laws.

tuxielove93 · April 2017

How far along are you? 26 weeks

How big is baby? Bunch of kale

Any new symptoms or changes? I'm pretty sure I had some Braxton Hicks contractions last night. Still not positive on that yet though.

Any upcoming appointments this week? Nope

Rants/Raves/Questions? Going to a hockey game tonight with DH's work, so that should be fun!

GTKY: if money, time, etc...weren't an issue where would go and what would you do? Travel all of Europe. DH really wanted to for our honeymoon, but we just didn't have enough money for more than one country, let alone what he had in mind. I also really want to go to some tropical locations. Basically just travel the world.

hyperangel_8509 · April 2017

How far along are you? 25 weeks

How big is baby? Cauliflower, napa cabbage....also a baseball mitt.

Any new symptoms or changes? Nothing new this week yet

Any upcoming appointments this week? I had my midwife appt yesterday (all is well besides a minor UTI I didn't even have symptoms for). And a chiro appt tomorrow

Rants/Raves/Questions? 1. I am so much more sore the second time around....I'm worried about being huge and sore in July. And 2. I don't like how fast time is flying.

GTKY: if money, time, etc...weren't an issue where would go and what would you do? I would go to Bora Bora and have a 6 month vacation. Or buy a tropical island and live there.

MrsLa3 · April 2017

How far along are you? 27 weeks!

How big is baby? Lettuce

Any new symptoms or changes? same old SPD.

Any upcoming appointments this week? I did my GTT test yesterday, still waiting on results.

Rants/Raves/Questions? DH has to play in a golf tourney this weekend, I'm thinking about staying in the pool allll day long.

GTKY: if money, time, etc...weren't an issue where would go and what would you do? I think I would travel, anywhere I wanted. The places I love the most I'd probably build houses so I could come back and stay as long as I wanted.

oheliza44 · April 2017

How far along are you? 26 weeks

How big is baby? The size of a head of kale

Any new symptoms or changes? Just feeling large. Nightly walks with DH and the dogs are starting to get uncomfortable. I've also developed a weird reaction to sugary drinks and foods which has been less than fun.

Any upcoming appointments this week? I have an appt with my midwife next Wednesday! I can't believe this is my last monthly appointment and all appointments from this point forward will be two weeks apart.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm not looking forward to my GD test (who is?) especially since the sugar in a half a can of coke makes me throw up.

GTKY: if money, time, etc...weren't an issue where would go and what would you do? I would travel the world learning new languages and writing about food and culture.. Working for Travel + Leisure magazine is my dream job.

longhairdntcare · April 2017

How far along are you? 27 weeks

How big is baby? A bottle of sriracha

Any new symptoms or changes? same stuff, new week.

Any upcoming appointments this week? Had my GD screening Friday and passed! woohoo. Regular OB appointment next Wednesday.

Rants/Raves/Questions? not today

GTKY: if money, time, etc...weren't an issue where would go and what would you do? Definitely a tour through Europe. I have never been!

Creedon778 · April 2017

How far along are you? 24 weeks

How big is baby? Cantaloupe

Any new symptoms or changes? Still tired....more kicking...that's about it.

Any upcoming appointments this week? Yes - check in tomorrow.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Friends are starting to drop off their used baby items which is fantastic. I gave away most of my stuff after we thought we were done so nice not to have to re-spend too much.

GTKY: if money, time, etc...weren't an issue where would go and what would you do? Travel to Nepal and Bhutan. My BFF is living in Kathmandu and Bhutan nearby has always been my dream to visit. She'll likely only be there another year and I figured I was more likely to go before the baby comes than after. The dr approved me going (funny how I can go to Nepal, but not Florida), but I'm struggling to figure out timing with work as there's so much going on. Saaaaaad face..........

jkbrownstein · April 2017

How far along are you? 23+5

How big is baby? Can of WD-40

Any new symptoms or changes? Finally saw the kicks from the outside!

Any upcoming appointments this week? Nada

Rants/Raves/Questions? Random and unimportant question...what food do you miss the most? Of all things, I really miss goat cheese. It's not even like I ate it that much before, I just love it on sandwiches and salads.

GTKY: if money, time, etc...weren't an issue where would go and what would you do? Everywhere? My husband and I love to travel, we went to 5 different countries in 2 weeks for our honeymoon (airbnb the whole way). Money and time definitely slows us down but we try to go to at least 1 new place each year.

LarkSparkle · April 2017

How far? 28 weeks, eggplant sized and starting to feel like it.

Appointments? Keeping busy! Whooping cough vaccine, plus nursery and birthing center tours. Finished up doula interviews this week as well.

New symptoms or changes? The heartburn has been awful. Almost threw up in a meeting today. Baby is also feeling much bigger and kicking much harder. It's still an "aww" feeling though, hasn't been hurting or keeping me awake.

Rant: time feels more precious these days, and my threshold for BS is getting lower. I've started being really straightforward, which isn't always a bad thing I guess? It's harder at work, where you have to hold your tongue or worry about office politics. At least at home I can just be myself.

GTKY: With unlimited resources we'd go to Antarctica! It's stupidly expensive to get to on a tour, and there's not much to see once you're there. We'd only want to go for the novelty and because it's our last continent. Neither feel like justifiable reasons to spend the money (to us) so I doubt we'd ever go in real life.

If it were a long term thing, I think we'd just become proper nomads and live on the go. Maybe studying cooking along the way

lanie1000 · April 2017

@jkbrownstein I miss sea bass and all the other tasty fish we're told not to eat.

oheliza44 · April 2017

@jkbrownstein is your preferred brand of goat cheese pasteurized? If so, you should be fine eating it. I love blue cheese and was gleeful when I realized the stuff we normally buy was pasteurized and therefore ok for me to eat.

I had goat cheese last night! Should be fine if it's pasteurized. Last night I had fried goat cheese that was drizzled in honey. It was AH-mazing.

Personally I miss oysters. I cry a little every time I see them on the menu.

BusyZee · April 2017

@Creedon778 ditto! I miss oysters so bad!!!

Oops. I had this for my birthday dinner a few weeks ago. Didn't realize seabass was on the naughty list. At least it was only once!

FWIW, I haven't cut anything out of my diet and my midwife said its pretty much all outdated. I still have sushi every couple of weeks, soft cheese, deli meat, etc. The listeria outbreaks have been in totally random things, and as long as you're not doing a ton of high mercury fish and your cheese is usually pasteurized, you're probably fine.

Samsies. Except tuna. I did cut out tuna.

hyperangel_8509 · April 2017

I cut out raw fish sushi and sashimi. I'll still eat sushi, but only the cooked ones (like tempura shrimp). I haven't cut out soft cheeses like Brie or goat cheese, most of the brands up here are pasteurized.

Side note - I have a friend that refused to eat anything cookie-dough because she thought it was dangerous. Sure, actual cookie dough may be an issue because it has raw eggs. But cookie dough ice cream and Starbucks cookie dough cake pops are pasteurized and FINE.

jkbrownstein · April 2017

@oheliza44 I always seem to want it when I order food, it's on the best choices and I don't know whether or not the restaurant uses pasteurized.

99% of cheese in US is pasteurized. You won't find unpasteurized cheese outside of speciality cheese shops or high end restaurants. And in both of those cases the waiter or shop owner should be able to tell you if is pasteurized.

I'd have my happy butt in Hawaii, surfing.
