GTKY: What is the one thing that should be taught in high school that isn’t already?
Re: *Sunday* ticker change 6/25
Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow morning
Symptoms? I think little dude has shifted downward a little because my heartburn has become more manageable this last week. I do however live on the toilet, how can one person pee sooooo much??
Cravings? Now that I can eat again.. um all the food??? Specifically some pizza
Rants/Raves/Questions?
GTKY: What is the one thing that should be taught in high school that isn’t already? Pretty much "how to be an adult" they'd cover how taxes work (again because no one was listening in government class) and how to do them. How loans work. How different types of mortgages work. How credit works. Investments and retirement funds. (I know some schools teach this mine did not). I know waaaaaaay too many people my age who have NO clue how any of that stuff works.
33 weeks- celery
Upcoming appointments?

Constipated, hot, head aches and my belly itches so bad

I found out at my last appointment that my placenta is in the front. I had read others talk about it, but I figured the doc would have told me before. DH hadn't felt baby really until last week and that's what had prompted me to say something, because at my last appointment he hadn't felt her at all.
GTKY: What is the one thing that should be taught in high school that isn’t already?
10000000% agree @Nxy, basic life skills classes all 4 years.
Upcoming appointments? This coming Friday. 3 hour glucose tolerance test & regular check-up. Kinda terrified at the thought of GD (I've never failed the 1hr before).
Symptoms? Morning sickness (yep, still), heartburn, insomnia, fatigue, hungry, hot (it's been in the 90's), lazy, bitchy
Cravings? I've had my weekly Qboda quota, and fresh fruit is a must. I had some delicious peaches last week, watermelon and bing cherries too.
Rants/Raves/Questions? What week do cervical checks start?
GTKY: What is the one thing that should be taught in high school that isn’t already? A basics class like PP said. Topics should include how to write a check, balance your checkbook/account, how to change a tire, sow a button, how to grow and cook healthy foods, how to file your taxes, drivers ed, budget/savings, how to make a fire (I could go on, but I'm lazy

My brother's mother-in-law is being so sweet and throwing me a baby shower. I was NOT expecting to have one this time around so I am so very thankful!
GTKY: What is the one thing that should be taught in high school that isn’t already?
How to not suck at life. Basic life skills. CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS. Better social skills in general. How to have a conversation with a real person...not a cell phone.
31 weeks. SINGLE DIGIT WEEKS.
Upcoming appointments?
Not until the 6th yet but I have to contact the MFM office for an u/s and the diabetes counsel session.
Symptoms?
Cranky af.
Cravings?
None.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Is this when the nesting urge kicks in? Because I really need that energy these next few weeks to get my house packed up, move out, and organize the new house to some degree.
GTKY: What is the one thing that should be taught in high school that isn’t already?
How to actually communicate with someone. All these kids now have no idea how to have a conversation that isn't via text.
I have a family member that coaches a college sport and you would not believe the amount of texts they receive asking for a full scholarship!! These kids can't even place a phone call or arrange an interview to ask for 250k!!!

I have 2 on Friday: one with my OB and the other with the diabetes monitoring place.
Symptoms?
Insomnia, leg cramps in the middle of the night, constipation and some lower back pain.

Knowing that I have to watch my sugar, I of course want all of the things I shouldn't have like ice cream, pasta, etc.

It would've been nice to spend more time outdoors this weekend, but I feel like I accomplished a lot. I finally tackled the laundry and the piles of clean clothes that needed to be put away, washed blankets and sheets for the baby, cleaned out more of the nursery and organized 3 closets. I usually don't have much of a nesting instinct, but this time I guess it finally kicked in. I still have a bit more to do, but I feel less stressed.
GTKY: What is the one thing that should be taught in high school that isn’t already?
I definitely agree with others about life skills. Teenagers need to understand the basics of being a responsible adult.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Baby shower is this upcoming weekend and I'm excited just to see everyone and most esp to get my Hawaiian Floral crown & a blow out hahaha. Awaiting to hear when our Admin Assistant plans my work shower.
GTKY: What is the one thing that should be taught in high school that isn’t already? Like others said earlier, basic life skills, responsibility, how to make a resume, etc. Oh...how to not expect everything be presented to you on a silver platter! LOL.
Most of us on here were raised during the days of minimal internet and cell phone use so we didn't have the luxuries of LinkedIN, Indeed.com, etc. We actually got out there to market ourselves, talk to recruiters, network, apply for jobs in our teenage years through PAPER applications, etc. LOL!!
