GTKY: what is something you are stressed about getting done before baby? (Doesn't need to be directly baby related)
Re: *Sunday* ticker change 5/7
Upcoming appointments? I have to stop in tomorrow because the lab lost my last round of blood work so.. yaaaay.
Symptoms? Heartburn still. The doc perscribed some meds but they aren't even touching it.
Cravings? Food.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Raving that I finally have the nursery all cleaned out. It was like a storage unit you could barely get across the room. 5 huge bags trash hauled and disposed of. DH won't be happy but if you haven't touched it in the 2 years we've been here it doesn't need to hang around.
GTKY: what is something you are stressed about getting done before baby? (Doesn't need to be directly baby related) I really want to declutter the entire house before baby gets here so it's easier to keep clean. Turns out it is super hard to sort things keep/trash/donate with DD around..
Upcoming appointments? Regular appointment on Tuesday
Symptoms? Lots of kicking! My husband finally felt baby boy last night.
Cravings? Cookies
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm reaching burnout time of the school year. I think it's worse than usual because I'd rather be lazy while gestating. At least the time will go by faster.
GTKY: what is something you are stressed about getting done before baby? (Doesn't need to be directly baby related) Making sure we have everything we need, but not too much lol.
Upcoming appointments? Thursday - regular appt and results of the glucose test
Symptoms? Not many really - I do notice I'm slowing down a bit - it's tough to do the big Sunday walk we always do, still going though.
Cravings? Chocolate milk
Rants/Raves/Questions? I've been food preparing lately to make sure I have enough healthy food available at work - things are so busy getting ready for my leave that I'm not eating as well which really drags my energy:mood down.

We've just finally gotten all the home renos we wanted done - next worry is just trying to save some money and getting work prepared for my year away - which isn't going to well haha. I think shortly it will also be making sure I have everything as well!

25 weeks, size of cauliflower! (Are they going by weight when they come up with these fruits and veggies? I haven't figured that out!)
Upcoming appointments?
May 19 is my glucose test
Symptoms?
I was having pretty awful Braxton Hicks, but baby grew, dropped lower, and changed positions and those have stopped. So weird! Still having heartburn, but since he dropped not as bad.
And by dropped, he isn't nearly as low as he will be toward delivery, but there is a noticeable difference in how I am carrying this week as compared to two weeks ago.
Cravings?
None still!
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I am sooooo ready for my sweet oldest boy to be out of school for the summer! I love having him home during the day so we can go places and have fun. I'm that weird mom who loves summer and kids being off. I dread him going back!
GTKY: what is something you are stressed about getting done before baby? (Doesn't need to be directly baby related)
Baby is due August 20, and my son starts 4th grade and my daughter starts Kindergarten on August 28th. I'm stressed about the routine!

Spicy stuff. Also, chicken salad.
But is water a craving? I feel like I can never get enough.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I've read about being able to feel when your baby has hiccups. How can you tell?
GTKY: what is something you are stressed about getting done before baby? (Doesn't need to be directly baby related)
I need to get our our bedroom door fixed so that the animals can't push it open if we want/need to lock them out.
Also, just getting the house clean and clear in general.

Grape Juice!!!! SO GOOD.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
The 3M Respirator with P100 filters is AMAZING if you have do any painting/anything with odors and feel like you want a bit more protection from the vapors. I've been using the mask and filters since January whenever I would work on the flip house and it's fantastic. You can't smell anything when wearing it.
I seriously am considering putting it on the changing table to pop on until I'm used to poop diapers.
GTKY: what is something you are stressed about getting done before baby? (Doesn't need to be directly baby related)
Our housing situation. We have a flip house to get on the market by the end of the month, then comes packing up our current house and moving into our new one. Once we move out our house has a few things that need to get done before it also goes on the market. It's a fair amount of work we still have in front of us to get done in a rather short amount of time. This pregnancy is flying by.
Together: January 2002
Married: May 2008
Baby: August 2017
Clearly we like to rush along at lightning speed...
Upcoming appointments? Not until the end of the month.
Symptoms? Still having morning sickness, and I'm so over it.
Cravings? Starbursts
Rants/Raves/Questions? This baby is constantly kicking. He is going to be a kick boxer or drummer for sure!
GTKY: what is something you are stressed about getting done before baby? (Doesn't need to be directly baby related) The whole house needs a spring cleaning, and I'd like to transition DD to a big girl bed either before or soon after baby is born.
24 weeks - cantaloupe
Upcoming appointments?
Not until 5/19
Symptoms?
Insomnia, which I expect to last until the end. My BH seem to be less frequent than last week.

Rants/Raves/Questions?
BIL is supposed to help DH rearrange the rooms this weekend. Our Saturday morning and early afternoon are pretty packed with activities for the kids and now DS1's travel soccer team just added a game on Sunday, which isn't close by. Plus, I just found out we've been assigned to provide snacks for that game. I hope they're able to get everything done, but I'm sure they'll still be busy for most of Sunday. I foresee taking the kids to soccer by myself and probably dealing with a tired and/or temperamental DS2 during the game. Perfect way to spend Mother's Day.
GTKY: what is something you are stressed about getting done before baby? (Doesn't need to be directly baby related)
Besides the room rearrangement and seeing how the kids handle sharing a room, I feel like I have a list of things to figure out and time is going by so quickly: making a list of what new things I need to purchase/replace, researching pumps and figuring out what my insurance covers, confirming what I need to do with work for STD/FMLA, buying a crib, decluttering the house, getting rid of junk in the basement, etc. We're so busy with activities both during the week and on weekends that I never accomplish what I want. At least things should slow down a little after school gets out.
How far along are you & how big is baby? 25 weeks +1 day - Prairie Dog or Baseball glove
Upcoming appointments? 5/25 - 1 hour glucose
Symptoms? VARICOSE freaggin veins on my left calf! And I love wearing shorts on the weekend or skirts for work. Looks like I got beat up on my left calf or dead spider decided to live there. uuggghhh, and my legs to me were my nicest features too. uuuggghhh!
Cravings? Arepas (venezuelan dish)! Specifically the reina pepiada arepa (chicken salad w/Avocado). Craving fulfilled when we went to Orlando this weekend. OMG!
Rants/Raves/Questions? I can feel the 2nd trimester high and energy is slowly coming to its end. But then again maybe I was tired from all the park hopping at the 4 disney world parks this weekend. It's our last trip before our annual passes end and we are cancelling until next year after baby is past 6+ months.
GTKY: what is something you are stressed about getting done before baby? (Doesn't need to be directly baby related) Conversion of our ISO 14001:2004 documents to 2015 format and standards before I go on Maternity leave. I know I'm going to come back from leave with a full plate of work and upcoming audits. This going to SUCK!
Upcoming appointments? Not until the end of the month.
Symptoms? Lower left side pain... still
Cravings? Ice cream
Rants/Raves/Questions? Just cranky.
GTKY: what is something you are stressed about getting done before baby? (Doesn't need to be directly baby related) Hosting 2 baby showers for some friends. One I am hosting with a bunch of people I don't know- so that's a bit stressful.
