Rant/Rave/Questions? I feel like summer is flying by. I was worried about staying busy with DS out of school for the summer. I should not have bothered, our days are so packed it is hard to do any prep for baby.

What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?
It's getting harder to move around and do things without some type of lower back or sciatica discomfort. I'm pretty tired and still have insomnia fairly often.
Cravings:
Sweets.
Any appointments this week?
Had a growth u/s today. The baby is estimated at 4 lbs 10 oz (40th percentile) so it's good that my glucose intolerance doesn't seem to really be affecting the baby's size. Everything looked good. The baby was uncooperative for pictures of his/her face, moving around a lot and pushing back on the u/s wand. Looks like I have another feisty one.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
I hate trying to plan meals, eating times and testing my blood sugar especially on work days where I'm either running from meeting to meeting in the office or am out at another location all day.
GTKY: What movie title best describes your life?
No clue.
How many other children do you have? 2 - DD1 is 5 and DD2 is 2.5
How far along are you? 34w+3
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies? The BH are so intense and now they are crampy. I also feel like I double in size over the course of the day and the waddle is so real. I need to watch my sodium intake, but I'm craving it so bad.
Cravings: Salty things and tasty caloric fluids, like OJ and lemonade. And salads and chocolate chip anything.
Any appointments this week? I had my midwife appointment yesterday (mentioned in other post as well). Baby is "right there". I need to transition my running a bit, and my body seems to have gotten the message since this kid dropped and running was definitely way less comfortable this morning so there were lots of walk breaks.
Rant/Rave/Questions? Rave: I have acupuncture in 45 minutes and can't freaking wait!
Rant: anybody else's kids suck at sleeping? DD2 (2.5) has sleep regressions every 6 months it seems and I am having a hard time figuring this one out. She is definitely scared, but I'm not sure of what. I love bed sharing, which is what I would do with her if there wasn't a new baby on the way. ( I co-slept with her until gradually getting her used to the crib by 15 months.) My 5 year old was terrified of everything for a little while too, but is more confident now and "gets" to sleep with us 1-2 nights a week as a treat. We need a bigger bed! I'm super optimistic about the arm's reach for this one. Fingers crossed!

DD#1: 5/29/12
DD#2: 1/14/15
Baby #3 on the way due 8/19/17
@donehue We still bed share with DS (and love it) and it is one of my biggest worries about bring home a baby. For now the plan is for me to sleep in one room with the new one and DH to stay with DS. Not the best solution but DS has some issues with anxiety and pushing the issue didn't seem like the right option.
I'm hoping to somehow have a child who likes the crib this time. We co-slept more out of necessity because despite everything we tried, my kids both hated their cribs and the pack n play.
