Current symptoms: Cramping, BH, hip pain, HUNGRY.
What's something your child(ren) has said or done lately that made you laugh? Okay so my child is an adorable sweet thing most of the time, but lately she's been "joking" about poop a lot (e.g., "Hey mom, I'm going to poop on the chair," or "Mom, do you like to poop in the car?"). It's so inappropriate and I am trying to have discussions with her about what is okay and what is not, but I am dying inside.
Rants/Raves: I just want to rave about tacos because yesterday was Taco Tuesday and I am still thinking about the tacos I had. Tacos are life.

Current symptoms: getting stronger heartburn more often
What's something your child(ren) has said or done lately that made you laugh? DD is dancing now and does it all the tjme. Hilarious squatting, stomping her feet, twirling.. it makes me laugh every time!
Rants/Raves: I'm so nervous for my GD screen next week. I barely passed the 1 hr last time but I was going off no food so this time I plan to eat some eggs beforehand and see if that makes a dofference.
GTKY: Since it's Wednesday, who is your woman crush?
How far along are you? 23+6
Current symptoms: Heartburn, mild lower back pain, shortness of breath
What's something your child(ren) has said or done lately that made you laugh? My DS has a newfound love for wearing masks and it's usually at bedtime so when we check on him with the monitor it's either a storm trooper or starlord staring back at you and it's hilarious (once he's asleep I make sure the mask is off)!
Rants/Raves: I've been getting over one of those glorious pregnancy colds and have true fear for how I'll ever be able to take care of two LOs while sick. I'm sure I'll figure it out and push through, but it's just miserable! Also just needed to complain because when DH brought this cold home I called it a man cold (the worst type of cold there is and we women have never had anything like one
) so I refuse to complain to him, haha!
GTKY: Since it's Wednesday, who is your woman crush? I have always loved Emma Stone! Also obsessed with Chrissy Teigen!
ETA: posted before I was done!
Current symptoms: lower back pain & heartburn, normally only right as I'm about to go bed.
What's something your child(ren) has said or done lately that made you laugh? My 2yo still doesn't comprehend that we're having a baby. He gets the idea kinda that there is something in my belly, because he will kiss and rub my belly. (all heart eyes) But the other day, I was washing some baby laundry I got from a friend and he grabbed these little NB purple pants and was so confused by them and then attempted to put them on
Rants/Raves: I'm more nervous for my GD test than I was last go around. I passed last time with flying colors but I can tell I've been eating more sweets and a little worse than normal. We aren't bad eaters as is, we don't eat any meats or dairy but I can still make yummy good meals otherwise and just as much sweets. And I'm afraid it's going to get me in trouble!
GTKY: Since it's Wednesday, who is your woman crush? I'm a newb and haven't a clue how to upload a gif. Soo.. my WCW would have to be Blake Lively

Current symptoms: shortness of breath when working out, some constipation, and general fatigue
What's something your child(ren) has said or done lately that made you laugh?
We bought DD a new bed (the Little Tikes Pirate bed) and she was standing with one foot on the Bow, one hand on her hip the other in the air saying "Today! Today is the day we will go into the sky and save all the puppies! Because that's what we do!" DH and I were DYING giggling. It was amazing
Rants/Raves:
I have a rant- they keep moving my gorram EDD. I'm planning for a VBAC, and while I am not concerned about an EDD, I know it matters to the hospital. So I need that locked in, so my Doula and I can make a plan around that.
GTKY: Since it's Wednesday, who is your woman crush? I
my WCW would have to be Camie Leal (Figure Competitor whom I'm stalking because I plan to compete in two and a half years)
How far along are you? 24 weeks
Current symptoms: Yeast infection and bacteria vaginosis, ftw. OB Rx'd another round of meds (2nd instance of this) since it's causing spotting and irritation in the lady bits. Sorry, husband.. She also recommended probiotics so I picked up some of that too. Hopefully it clears up ASAP, I feel so disgusting
What's something your child(ren) has said or done lately that made you laugh? The 15 month old boy adores our cat (the cat, however, is terrified). He likes to chase after him around he house and say a drawn out "meow" (his way of saying cat) since he has picked up on the sound a cat makes. It's pretty cute
Rants/Raves: I'm ready for fall weather. It's been in the 90's still (Texas) and it's too hot for this crap
GTKY: Since it's Wednesday, who is your woman crush? Leighton Meester. Her hair is gorgeous!
How far along are you? 21+2
Current symptoms: Tired, hungry, emotional.
What's something your child(ren) has said or done lately that made you laugh? He’s been channeling his inner Matthew McConaughey and saying “alright, alright, alright.” haha I crack up every time. I want to dress him up as him in Dazed and Confused for Halloween. Can you imagine a little almost 2 year old dressed like that? I can and it would be amazing.
Rants/Raves: Rave: Got an email that someone bought from my Amazon registry. Rant: Got an email that someone did not actually buy from my Amazon registry. haha
GTKY: Since it's Wednesday, who is your woman crush? Reese Witherspoon. Forever and ever Amen.

23 weeks!
Current symptoms:
I've hit round 2 of exhaustion, but other than that I've been feeling pretty good.
What's something your child(ren) has said or done lately that made you laugh?
Every time I ask DS if he pooped he'll point at his butt, the first time he did that I laughed so hard. He also is a huge fan of peekaboo and has started covering his eyes while walking around and he'll run into everything.
Rants/Raves:
We have people coming out today to give us an estimate for new windows in the nursery! Progress!

Current symptoms: Friggin exhausted this week. Random hip pain. All the hunger.
What's something your child(ren) has said or done lately that made you laugh? I love when he "reads" his books to us. Some he knows by heart, some he only remembers a word or two per page. The other night he picked "Click, Clack, Peep" and started strong but gave up about halfway through.
Rants/Raves: I need like 18 hours of sleep and then to get DH and DS out of the house while my sister comes to help me clean out the spare bedroom. And then I need DH to come back and agree to throw out all of the boxes of random computer parts that moved into this house with us 7 years ago. And THEN I need to plan this LO's nursery.

starting to get heartburn, I was definitely like ah man I remember this shiz, still dealing with insomnia
What's something your child(ren) has said or done lately that made you laugh?
DD has started to take clothes out of the closet while we are doing laundry. Last weekend she came out with 2 pairs of boxers and a thong around her neck. I was dying laughing and DH tells me "you're not helping". Nope not helping, laughing
Rants/Raves:
rant: I work part time and just realized that I don't have enough hours to qualify for FMLA leave, so now I have to work extra days through the end of the year, blows
GTKY: Since it's Wednesday, who is your woman crush?
@sbishop426 hope everything clears up for you soon!
I'm loving reading everyone's answers to what your kids are doing to make you laugh. I'm so excited for DD to get a little older! This age is great too though (almost 15 months).
J18 December Siggy Challenge: Christmas Movies
How far along are you? 25 weeks today
Current symptoms: Hilariously random heartburn, moments of muscle weakness, serious food aversions/disinterest in food, and the desire for more sleep always.
What's something your child(ren) has said or done lately that made you laugh? I don't know where to start! DD will be 2 on Saturday, and everything she does lately makes me laugh. When we are walking over to my parents, she makes a list of all the things she "needs" to take (i.e. stuffed elmo, baby hippo, moon book, blanket) and then piles them all into her arms and insists on carrying them.
Rants/Raves: A little of both--I am so thankful that the major stress from work has died down. I am way calmer and healthier and happier as a result. However, I want more time to be a mom. I stayed home with Em for the first 9 months, and I in no way minimize the challenges of being a SAHM, but ughhh I just want more time with her. We need my income now, and I also am just not okay with being financially dependent on DH, so I know I'll keep working but blah.
GTKY: Since it's Wednesday, who is your woman crush? Michelle Obama.

Current symptoms: occasional heartburn, early onset of the nesting instinct. (Who has already finished Christmas shopping and addressing your Jan 16 baby’s birthday invites? This (crazy) girl!)
What's something your child(ren) has said or done lately that made you laugh? DS1 asked me where my penis was and when I told him girls don’t have penises he said, “you not a girl, you a mom. It’s okay, we get you a new one at Target.”
Rants/Raves: Rant: lack of sleep is for the birds (see my WTF rant). Rave: still have a surprising amount of energy and I’ve been loving my pregnancy affirmation walks lately.
GTKY: Since it's Wednesday, who is your woman crush? Rachel Maddow
@missblaze Tacos ARE life! And DS1 has been obsessed with the word poop lately too.
@schaze good luck with your GD scan. Make sure you’re not restricting carbs this week (though definitely good idea to load up on protein the morning of the actual screening). I made the mistake of basically going carb free the week before my screen last time, failed with a truly horrifying number and then ended up being completely fine after the three hour, but my midwives were basically like yeah, you’d been eating nothing but vegetables and meat for a week of course the glucola spiked your numbers. Don’t be like me! Lol
@supercoolstephy I got that Amazon registry glitch email too! SO disappointing!
@burnsmommy27 sorry about the extra work hours; that stinks!

Baby #4 on the way!
feet are starting to swell at the end of the day slightly and I'm exhausted as all get out. Also still getting sick from a super sensitive gag reflex and cold combo. Really fun.
DD is almost 3 and pretty hysterical. Lately she has been trying to tell jokes which gets me every time.
Rant - +1 to the worries about GD test. Disclaimer - I posted the same question in the questions for STM thread... So I had to take the glucose tolerance test at 18 weeks (yay old and overweight combo) and passed with a 118. I know that is in the normal range, but I have to take it again coming up and am nervous that it was too close to the 130 cut off and I'll fail this next one. Anyone with experience on this? with DD I was not old or overweight so I have no experience with this.
crush = Mika Kunis

How far along are you? 25 weeks
Current symptoms: none really. Red pustule things that pop up in random places thanks to hormones!
What's something your child(ren) has said or done lately that made you laugh? DS told me to get the belly away from him recently.
Rants/Raves: DS has slept through the night in his big boy bed for two nights in a row. I think we are making progress. Could just be because he is sick though.
GTKY: Since it's Wednesday, who is your woman crush? So many lady crushes, but I'm loving Nicole Kidman right now.

Current symptoms:
Hungry!!! I can't get full. Headaches.
What's something your child(ren) has said or done lately that made you laugh?
She only likes to wear dresses. I thought I had tricked her into wearing a shirt/short combo. As we were walking out the door for school, she says "Ummm, guys we forgot to put on my gwess (dress)."
Rants/Raves:
Behavior when its bad, it is horrible... Tonight she lost it because her Dad did not give her a "big blob" of toothpaste (he did). Then she sat in timeout screaming and refused to come out of timeout. Sometimes I really could use a glass of whiskey.
GTKY: Since it's Wednesday, who is your woman crush?
Kristen Bell.
How far along are you? 23.5 weeks
Current symptoms: out of breath like all the time. I feel like I get winded while talking. Feeling stuffed and big all around, especially in the mid section. Getting bouts of so tired, have to lie down. But otherwise no real aches and surprisingly minimal heartburn.
What's something your child(ren) has said or done lately that made you laugh? oh man, mine are 4yo and 2yo. They are so adorable all the time. More cute than funny, my son approached a 6 yo at the playground and proceeded to introduce himself, and said he wanted to play with him, then my 2yo introduced herself as "Baby Sister". They have such cute personalities and I'm grateful they are somewhat outgoing.
Rants/Raves: We have been super busy, but for all good things. My H is back in school on a scholarship, and we have been working on the process of building a house outside of the city. Here is a bit of a rant, my 4yo starts preschool next week and he has to be there at 7:30. No idea how I will get us all up, dressed, and feed him in time. We have been so lazy/relaxed all summer, it's going to be tough.
GTKY: Since it's Wednesday, who is your woman crush? I guess maybe Britney Spears, she is kind of ridiculous, but I just like her. She reminds me of an old college friend who was a hot mess but I loved her anyway. Also I want to see the Wonder Woman movie.

Current symptoms:
Muscle tenderness in my abdomen lately, but otherwise it's been pretty good.
What's something your child(ren) has said or done lately that made you laugh?
"Okay, Mom, if I can't find the Miles-Boson particle, then it's back to Plan A: build a particle accelerator and try to find the (His-Last-Name) Quark."
Rants/Raves:
Wee Girl is an active little one, and she may be the type to kick hard enough that it hurts when the time comes. It's left me wondering if my emotional prep for baby has all been for naught, lol. My son was not a bad baby, but he needed to be held and cuddled a lot. I find myself joking that this one will be a baby who likes her personal space -- she's just stretching out and trying to get comfortable in there.
GTKY: Since it's Wednesday, who is your woman crush?
Look, I could make a whole post out of this. Gillian Anderson and Gwendoline Christie, though.

Current symptoms:
The heartburn has started! Also, lower back pain in my right butt cheek. Other than that, I've been feeling pretty great. Besides the constant exhaustion, but I've gotten used to that, so it isn't as big of a deal these days. I guess it's just preparing me for having a newborn again.
What's something your child(ren) has said or done lately that made you laugh?
Oh goodness. Everything! DD is 20 months old and SUCH a talker. She just had a wellness visit last week, and my doctor said that she has the speech of a 3 year old (which didn't surprise me at all). She NEVER stops talking. Lately she has been all about "silly faces." She says, "Mommy, look at this one!" and then proceeds to make some goofy face. This happens about 50 times a day. Also, she has started to tell me regularly, "Mommy, don't be bossy!" and "Mommy, don't say that!" whenever I try to tell her to do something she doesn't want to do. Pretty much everything that comes out of her mouth makes me laugh.
Rants/Raves:
A rave! I went to a concert last night, stayed out until 11pm (on a school night), and I'm still killing it at work today. Plus, I got to see my FAVORITE musician last night, so I feel like I'm still on a high.
GTKY: Since it's Wednesday, who is your woman crush?
OH, Salma Hayek will always be my #1. I'm pretty sure she is the most beautiful human ever created.

What's something your child(ren) has said or done lately that made you laugh?
I love all these toddler stories!
The other night I was cooking when ds (2yo) came up behind me and started pushing against my butt. Like really leaning into it and grunting with effort. I asked him what he was doing and he said "helping Mom". I realized that he was helping me like little blue truck helps push dump truck out of the mud in the book.
Pretty perceptive , I am so big and tired that I do not feel unlike a stuck dump truck.
Rants/Raves:
I've been feeling overwhelmed by life, lately, which is totally unlike me. Normally I'dd be right with @KatieEl and working on Christmas shopping. But I've done nothing for the holidays and nothing to prep for baby. (I'm just putting it all off until I'm done working in December)
