1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?

4. Rants/raves/questions?
5. GTKY: Where is the farthest you've ever traveled from home?
Re: Monday Ticker Change 7/9
28! The size of a coconut.
2. How are you feeling?
Tired. Been having small headaches the last several days. The second trimester was good while it lasted, but I'm definitely in the third now.
3. Any appointments this week?
Yes. My first 2-week appointment is Thursday.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
For STMs - did any of you go into labor early that didn't have some sort of medical indicator prior? As in, it was totally random? When? What did you do?
5. GTKY: Where is the farthest you've ever traveled from home?
I suppose Trieste, Italy is literally the furthest distance I've been from home.
26 weeks, kale!
2. How are you feeling?
A little tired from the weekend, was in my friend's wedding, so lots of standing. Dancing is tough now, every movement feels like it's pulling my stomach.
3. Any appointments this week?
Just got back from my naturopath to go over thyroid labs (surprisingly, I'm on too much!), and have a few chiro appts/massage sprinkled in. Glucose test is next Monday, I'm not excited.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
rave: Seeing my body pillow in my nice comfy bed was the best sight when I got home. I made due with extra pillows at the hotel, but nothing beats that nice U-shaped pillow. Definitely coming with us on the babymoon in 2 weeks.
also random: DH was super emotional at the wedding this weekend (2 IPAs in 1 hour while I was at the rehearsal made for a very sappy man at dinner) and was tearing up at my friends' photo slide show at the rehearsal dinner. He's really excited to be growing our family and I guess weddings bring that up for him since you grow your family through marriage as well. Makes me look bad because I'm pretty neutral and don't get super emotional about those types of things, despite pregnancy hormones lol!
5. GTKY: Where is the farthest you've ever traveled from home?
Pretty sure that would be Turkey! We went to Ephesus a few years ago on a cruise, and it was our favorite stop. Suuuuuper hot in July (100F+) so that sucked, but the history there is just so interesting.
2. How are you feeling? Tired and cranky with a super low tolerance level for anyone's BS right now.
3. Any appointments this week? Nope, one more week until glucose
4. Rants/raves/questions? Just annoyed at myself for eating too much crap this weekend. And annoyed I have to wait another week for my appt.
5. GTKY: Where is the farthest you've ever traveled from home? Vietnam
2. How are you feeling? Some lower back pain
3. Any appointments this week? Nope!
4. Rants/raves/questions? I just am feeling heavy and big, and we havent even hit the 30s for weeks yet. Like third tri is gonna be rough
5. GTKY: Where is the farthest you've ever traveled from home?
Physically it would be Bosnia and Herzegovina. Culturally it would be Morocco.
2. How are you feeling? Now it’s getting hard. I made a big dinner yesterday, did the dishes, and cleaned up DS’s toys at the end of the day and felt like I was hit by a semi. I also feel my legs starting to swell, which happened last time. They aren’t obviously swollen, but it’s a matter of time. The swelling was the worst part of my last pregnancy, so I’m not looking forward to third tri so much.
3. Any appointments this week? Just a regular 5 minute check up tomorrow.
4. Rants/raves/questions? At the gym I do the seated bike machine thing (not sure what it’s called) so I can finally get some time to dick around on my phone, and my stomach is starting to get in the way.
5. GTKY: Where is the farthest you've ever traveled from home? Prague.
2. I’m feeling pretty good. I’m still on our babymoon and I’m really enjoying it! I have a slight headache today and I’m annoyed I can’t find my Tylenol (think I left it in our last hotel, ugh). My ankles are swelling on a daily basis now, though and I’m really feeling the heat!
3. Nope. I am supposed to go on Friday, but I’ll still be traveling so I scheduled my next appointment for Monday.
4. Maybe a Rave and a Rant? I’ve been trying to keep my pre-pregnancy pace and it’s clear my body is pushing back HARD. I’m still pretty proud of myself for how active I’ve been, but I’m trying to learn that balance between pushing it a little and then relaxing vs. pushing it too much and crashing, haha. For example, I’m impressed with myself for making the uphill climb through Teatro Greco in the heat yesterday (on the first day of my 3rd Tri!), but I crashed hard yesterday evening. I’m getting major swelling in my ankles daily, and had to skip a hike with DH while we were in Malta because even after 8 hours of sleep, my ankles were still swollen and I just needed to rest. At least today I can relax by the pool and beach before we head to Amalfi!
5. Australia / New Zealand (I’m blanking in which is further away at the moment).
