Re: *Sunday* ticker change 7/23
Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow. I just got test results that I was negative for strep which is nice.
Symptoms? Being huge and uncomfortable. I'm feeling a lot more hiccups as well.
Cravings? I ate a lot more junk food this week, but I'm going to blame it on my road trip to my parents. Junk food and long car rides call for garbage gas station food.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I can't wait to have a baby stop kicking my ribs.

I've kind of run out of exciting things at this point lol. We're planning on finding a glider the next few days which will be good. Uuuuh, my nephew's birthday is next weekend. If I'm feeling up for it, I'll make the drive. My husband has to work, so it might just be me making the trek which could be long due to weekend construction.
Upcoming appointments? Thursday
Symptoms? Lots of pressure down south. Painful contractions when I lay on my back. (Has happened 3 times since Thursday-- twice at last weeks' appointment)
Cravings? Lemonade, chocolate chip cookies, apple pie
Rants/Raves/Questions? I've been really laid back- but I'm starting to get anxious about being so laze fairer these last few weeks
GTKY: what are you most looking forward to other than baby in the next few weeks? I'm out and about today and can't think of anything more interesting lol) My son has been out of town since Tuesday with my parents (out of town wedding where he finally got to meet my grandmothers). Can't wait to see him tonight. Even though I have enjoyed the ability to relax a bit.
Upcoming appointments? Tuesday!
Symptoms? Most of them are gone aside from the carpal tunnel
Cravings? All of the food. Like. All of it.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm really excited for my appointment Tuesday. We finally get to see my normal doc after a few weeks. I'm interested to see what he has to say about the size of baby because the lady Dr tried really hard to talk us into an induction based on size alone.
GTKY: what are you most looking forward to other than baby in the next few weeks? I'm out and about today and can't think of anything more interesting lol) MY MOM GETS HERE THE 4TH!!!!! The clock has just slowed right down to a crawl. I can't wrap my head around how it's not August yet..
Upcoming appointments? This coming Wednesday. I thought my appt was Tuesday, so thank goodness for their text reminders. Just a regular check-up.
Symptoms? Aches & pains are getting progressively worse. A huge appetite, but also heartburn/gas from anything I eat.
Cravings? I've been wanting some type of frozen fruity beverage, like a strawberry daiquiri. I guess I'll settle for an icee!
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave: My birthday & wedding anniversary are coming up soon, so DH ordered a Dyson bladeless fan for our bedroom as a gift! It's been hella hot, so I'm pretty freakin' stoked about it!
GTKY: what are you most looking forward to other than baby in the next few weeks? August is a busy month for us with several birthdays (including me, my dad, and DS2) & our anniversary. It's my favorite month of the year with lots of family time, big meals, cake and memories being made.

36 weeks. Papaya
Upcoming appointments?
Friday...my doc is on vacay so I have to see someone else in his office. I'm not really feeling up to having anyone, much less someone I don't know, checking out my "business"...but I'm also wanting to know if I've had any progression, and that outweighs the awkward I might feel.
Symptoms?
I have had unbearable heartburn and reflux, and Zantac 150 twice a day with TUMS in between stopped working, so I *finally* caved and filled my prescription for Nexium filled. Heaven. Absolute HEAVEN!
Cravings?
Snowcones from Bahama Bucks!
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I lost two pounds between my appointment the week before last and the one I had last week. It was because I spent two full days off my feet and drank a ton of water and an electrolyte replacement drink, and my swelling was completely gone. Then, one day spent at work and it's back and I'm miserable again.

I'm looking forward to planning 1-on-1 days with each of my kiddos. I'm feeling stressed and a little mom-guilt over all the changes that will take place soon.
35 weeks - pineapple
Upcoming appointments?
Checkup tomorrow.
Symptoms?
Round ligament pain and just soreness when I walk. I'm also pretty tired and the insomnia doesn't help.
Cravings?
Fruit and sweets.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Time is running out and I still need to get things done. I'm starting to feel a little stressed.

Seeing friends who moved away several years ago, but are visiting the area for the summer.
35 weeks pregnant with a pineapple
Upcoming appointments?
None this week
Symptoms?
Braxton Hicks alllllll the time. I've been having BH for weeks (and weeks and weeks) and they are slowly getting worse and harder to get through. The past week I know a bad BH contraction is coming on because it will actually take my breath away first and then the uterus tightening will happen. Only about 10-15% are accompanied by cramping or back pain though and they rarely form patterns, so I know these aren't the real deal.
Cravings?
Food cravings that fit my GD guidelines- Deviled Eggs and Cheeseburgers sans bun.
Oh, I'm also rediscovering a love of greek yogurt.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
My shower (which even the thought of gave me a good dose of anxiety) turned out very sweet and I was able to relax enough to really enjoy it.
Also, I think shit has just gotten real for my H and he's been working his ass off to get stuff in our lives accomplished. He's always a hardworking guy but it's been sweet to see his focus shift towards baby prep.
GTKY: what are you most looking forward to other than baby in the next few weeks?
I've been slowly re-reading the Harry Potter series during my pregnancy and have saved the last two books until now. I'm really looking forward to reading and savoring them before I give birth.
Together: January 2002
Married: May 2008
Baby: August 2017
Clearly we like to rush along at lightning speed...
Upcoming appointments? Next Monday
Symptoms? Pelvic pain, cramping/round ligament pain that lasts for sooo long.
Cravings? I want a Jimmy John's beach club!
Rants/Raves/Questions? from my Friday appt the OB told me to go ahead and make my next 2 appointments. She highly doubts I'll make it past 38 weeks bec baby girl is sitting very very low and a good size, so we'll see.
GTKY: what are you most looking forward to other than baby in the next few weeks? My yearly bonus comes in Friday (which will go to of course bills and baby stuff) and talks with my mgr when he returns from vacation....he's retiring after my maternity leave and he's recommended me to take over the department and become the manager of EHS and we hire an engineer or specialist to take over my position. I'm excited and yet scared. But this is good for our family and for my career advancement, so bring it on! Well, of course after baby lol.
