2) How big is baby? Banana
3) Team blue, pink or green? Pink

And i cant sleep through the night.. i fall asleep at midnight, wake up at 2am, can't get back to sleep till 5-6am and then get woken up by DS between 8-9am. And when I do sleep, it's never deep. It feels like I'm awake when I'm asleep...if that makes sense. I think I'm turning into a zombie.
5) Any appointments this week? Nope
6) Rants/Raves/Questions? I've been at the hospital with my friend since yesterday. She had her baby this morning after a 45 hour labor! Totally reminded me of how much I'm not looking forward to going through child birth again.
7) GTKY: What is your favorite childrens book? Either yours as a child or for LO! My favorite as a kid was the giving tree by shel silverstein. But I also absolutely love the classic fairy tales and will be pushing those heavily on my kids.

6) Rants/Raves/Questions? Can't wait for DH and DD to feel movement.

I get the worse sciatic pain down my right butt cheek and leg. Other than that, I’m doing pretty good right
now. 5)
Any appointments this week? Yes! Meet with my OB on Friday…looking forward to
hearing baby girls heartbeat. 6)
Rants/Raves/Questions? Anyone using prenatal probiotics? I took probiotics for awhile and
someone brought them up at my work last week and got me thinking it might be
good to look into taking a prenatal version. 7)
GTKY: What is your favorite childrens book? Either yours as a child or for LO! Good Night Moon was always
one of my favorites and that’s LO’s favorite right now (it changes every couple

Rant: went to buy wipes that were on sale and the store manager approached me and said I should save some for people who really need them. Lol
@marousse WTF?I am not sure if that is a socioeconomic/class judgment (as in, you do not appear to be poor and should leave the sale items for poor people). Or an assumption that you are only newly pregnant and don't have any small children. Or an attempt to enforce an unspoken store policy limiting the number of sale items an individual can purchase. But is awful and obnoxious no matter how I square it.
1) How many weeks? 22 (I know it's not 23, and I think last week was 21 ...)
And skipping straight away to the final one which is a great GTKY question!
7) GTKY: What is your favorite childrens book? Either yours as a child or for LO! Make Way for Ducklings for LOs, and Forest Hotel: A Counting Story for me.

5) Any appointments this week? Nope
6) Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm excited that I am starting to actually look pregnant!
7) GTKY: What is your favorite children's book? Either yours as a child or for LO! Oh man, there are so many wonderful children's books. I love "the Giving Tree" that someone mentioned earlier. I always loved "Are You My Mother?" and "Love You Forever" is another great one.
3) Team blue, pink or green? Found out last Friday we're team pink!
4) How are you feeling? Good! Apparently I'm already having BH contractions, and I was not expecting that to be a "thing" for a few more weeks... Lol
5) Any appointments this week? Appt was yesterday, now we don't go back until July 7th. But we'll have AS #2 after that appt to get a few more pictures when she can't hide as much. Haha
6) Rants/Raves/Questions? I would like to sleep through the night without waking from needing to pee, bein uncomfortable, or being unable to turn over like "normal". -.-
7) GTKY: What is your favorite childrens book? Either yours as a child or for LO! I just love all books!
@marousse That is so rude! I am a petty Betty and would have put even more in my cart while the manager watched.
