GTKY: What is one thing that all of your love-interests have had in common? It's going to sound weird, but all my ex's and current husband have been jewish. I don't want to say I'm attractive to men of the jewish faith, I've just always been surrounded by it.
How far along are you? 24wks!
How big is baby? A cantaloupe (also, one app says my uterus is the size of a soccer ball, just in case anyone was wondering
)

Any new symptoms or changes? I'm putting on so much weight!!!! My sternum is killing me just because my boobs and belly are so big! I gained almost nothing until a few weeks ago, then BOOM, suddenly I'm big.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I love feeling baby move all the time. It's comforting, entertaining and I feel like I'm starting to get to know him more. At 8:30 I know he'll start his evening exercise routine and at loud family gatherings he does flips.
GTKY: What is one thing that all of your love-interests have had in common? They all played baseball. Is that weird?
How far along are you? 25 weeks

Rants/Raves/Questions? No, I've been asking a lot on other boards lately
GTKY: What is one thing that all of your love-interests have had in common? They were, by and large, all "nice" guys. Bachelors degrees at minimum, solid middle class jobs, no drama with family, had good manners, didn't abuse drugs or alcohol. Mostly all guys I'd take home to meet the parents. Definitely all "Aidans" except for two "Mr. Bigs."

Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rave: Baby is moving all the time and I can see the movements on the outside! I love it!
Rant: I get pregnancy gingivitis every time I'm pregnant and my gums are always irritated and bleed a lot. Well I went in for my routine cleaning yesterday and they decided to do a gum treatment which consisted of using a high powered water pick to rinse under and around my gums. It hurt so bad that I was white knuckling it the whole time. I left with dried blood on my teeth. I still have to come back for my cleaning.
GTKY: What is one thing that all of your love-interests have had in common?
Most of them have been nerds, including DH. I love nerds apparently.
Also a few of them were born in May just a couple days apart.
Edited because the bump app ate half of my post

Any new symptoms or changes? I feel a lot more pressure on my bladder and I can feel baby A's move ends more now
Rants/Raves/Questions? I've been nesting like crazy and just started on some blackout curtains for the nursery. I am loving how the room is coming together. Even dh admitted it looked nice and he normally finds this sort of thing pointless
GTKY: What is one thing that all of your love-interests have had in common? They all knew how to have a good time and keep me laughing.
Super late on this!

Rants/Raves/Questions?
Feeling really down about maternity leave. Its tough being middle class in Southern California where the rent is totally outrageous. DH and I need both our paychecks to get by, so we can only afford for me to take the paid leave, but not the unpaid leave. I'm heartbroken that I'll only get a little over a month with my baby. When I was in a breastfeeding class at my hospital, the doctor asked about everyone's leave and all the ladies in the class were saying 5 or 6 months, or that their husbands worked. I broke down in tears right there. It was a little embarrassing, but I couldn't stop it. :'(

I had to think about this one. They all had lean physiques, like runners. Their personalities were all a little different though.
You can take SDI to recover from the birth, then PFL for bonding (PFL is the same thing that your SO can take)
PFL eligibility requirements (https://www.edd.ca.gov/Disability/PFL_Mothers.htm). Sorry if you already looked into PFL and weren't eligible, I just wanted to make sure you knew about it. California income taxes are insane but everyone who pays into the PFL as part of the taxes should be eligible to take it, I thought. It's another 6 weeks to give you a total of 12 between SDI and PFL.
