26 weeks tomorrow, size of kale apparently?

Feeling okay, sleep has decided to vacate the premise though which screws with my blood sugar readings.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary?
Rave: as I mentioned in the random thread, I got picked to test a sewing pattern for a maternity shirt! Made my fit test out of some jersey sheets last night, and I actually plan to wear it even though it's made from bed sheets lol. I can't wait to make my final version though with nice fabric!!
Dear Diary: if these damn yeast infections could give me more than one weeks worth of relief, that would be great. My OB tested for a more resistant strain and it came back negative, so I guess I just get to live with infections this whole pregnancy. FX it's clear for labor/delivery though, ugh.
GTKY: What is your favorite season? Do you get much of it where you live?
(Hope this question isn't too similar to last weeks, I couldn't think of anything else)
I love fall! I like wearing sweaters, and being able to light a fire in the fireplace, watching the leaves change colors. Plus Halloween and carving pumpkins, pumpkin pie.
DS2 due 12/12/18
@CecilB93 shirt made out of bed sheets?!? how very sound of music of you! And sorry about your yeast infections, that must be sooooo annoying.

25+5 baby is big-ish? prarie dog /baseball glove sized lol

+1 i miss sleep. And I miss being able to go all day without being totally exhausted. I guess the 2nd tri glory days are coming to an end (i really did have them). Also apparently I have acne now? i have gotten 3 zits on my chin in the last week?
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary?
4 day workweek! Wooooo. Is it bad I'm already looking forward to the weekend? but my baby shower invites will go out this week, so that's fun.
GTKY: What is your favorite season? Do you get much of it where you live?
I like them all. At the beginning. I am SO OVER SUMMER right now, though. It was 95 and muggy yesterday and just so miserable. I am totally ready for fall. But then it'll get cold and muddy and I'll be happy for some snow and cold. Then in march, I'll be totally over it and ready for warmth again. Spring is usually our shortest season here, but I like it when we have it! And by that time, I'll be ready for the heat and we'll be in our new house that has central air! So maybe next summer will be ok

25w2d..size of a bottle of wine! Yum.
How are you feeling this week? Any new
symptoms?
No new symptoms but yessss I miss sleep too. It doesn’t help that DD is going through some kind of regression and she keeps waking up in the middle of the night to cry for one minute and then goes back to sleep. Sigh. At least I don’t have to get up but I’m having a hard time staying asleep to begin with.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary?
Not much going on here other than trying to keep my house spotless 24/7. Thank God we have a small house!
GTKY: What is your favorite season? Do you get much of it where you live?
I really like fall and spring. I hate winter. I’m always just over the top cold/too hot thing so the mild weather is always a nice change. I love the fall leaves and all the trees coming back in the spring! We only get a couple of weeks of nice weather on both ends so I try to enjoy it when it’s here.
@cecilb93 I’m sorry you keep getting yeast infections! They are terrible in the best of times but I’m sure dealing with that while pregnant is just awful. Do you know what happens if you have one when you go into labor? Is it like a group b strep situation?
@morgantu NOPE +1 to ready for the weekend, and I've been at work for approximately 1 hour. When is your shower?
@rosebud332 Would a white noise machine maybe help with the sleep? Since your goes back to sleep right away, anyway? Forgive me if my FTM ignorance is showing
How far along are you? How big is baby?
25+5, around 2 lbs and over a foot long
How are you feeling this week? Any new
symptoms?
Tired, like everyone else. And my brain is fried. I missed my PT appointment this morning, for no reason other than I just forgot. Everything is so foggy these days!
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary?
I need to get in nesting mode. I say this every week, and nothing ever changes. I did finally order some baby bedroom decor, though! Maybe once that arrives, I'll feel more motivated.
GTKY: What is your favorite season? Do you get much of it where you live?
Usually it's Summer, but not this year! I was limited a lot this year due to being KU, and now I am living for Fall. I'm super close to 3rd tri, and end of Summer means closer to baby
I'm actually even excited for Winter this year, and I didn't think that was possible!
ETA 3 spelling errors. I'm a mess.
How far along are you? How big is baby? 26 weeks tomorrow? Jiminy Christmas. Size of a Double Gulp or a fancy french soda. Guess we're really sticking to the beverages this week.
How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms? Great! H was giving me grief last night for going to the chiropractor but I told him I'm in zero pain and I'm not going to stop.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary? Dear diary, pregnancy is boring. Can it be December yet?
GTKY: What is your favorite season? Do you get much of it where you live? I like all of the seasons as they're approaching. I'm super sick of summer right now, and ready for it to cool down to fall. I can't remember when that happened last year though.

This was my first thought, too. It sounds way more comfortable than curtains, though.
26+1, baby is 14" and 1.7lbs. That's as big as some of DD's baby dolls. Yikes.
How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms?
The heartburn is back. Oy.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary?
Anyone know when these kids are supposed to get with the program and move head-down for good? I'm sure I've asked this before, so I apologize for the repeat. For some reason I'm super paranoid about this baby doing his thing, even though the first two had no problem.
GTKY: What is your favorite season? Do you get much of it where you live?
I'll be basic and say fall. We used to get a lot more of it, but now it's like one nice weekend and three months of summer and winter duking it out. #thanksglobalwarming

@rosebud332 I honestly have no idea about a YI during labor, I'm thinking about asking at my next appointment. I know my mom had some other infection with my sister, not yeast, and she said it was super painful.

Summer is still my favorite, but this one hasn't been as much fun since we've been KU. Normal summers involve lots of pool parties, wine by a fire pit, and flying to Vegas to ruin the checking account - but not this summer. We've taken in one pool party (I'll share my sunburn tomorrow if I can get a classy photo), haven't gone to LV, and avoided being outside because Alabama mosquitos looooove DH too much.
Regardless, we usually do get plenty of summer living in the the central United States.

25+6 baby is a prairie dog!
How are you feeling this week? Any new

I feel like my wife has finally started to feel great in the last couple of weeks after the horrendous first trimester stuff lasting way too long. I'm guessing that's about to end.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary?
I really can't say enough about my awesome family. We are the last ones to have a kid and my cousin and my brother and their wives have shipped a literal truck load of baby stuff to us via my awesome parents who are driving half way across the country for us. They really are the best!
GTKY: What is your favorite season? Do you get much of it where you live?
We relocated to the Pacific Northwest a little over a year ago from the Midwest and the seasons here are pretty sweet! I definitely do not miss muggy summers and bone chilling winters. My favorite season is spring when the trees start to flower and everything is so green.
How far along are you? How big is baby?
25w5d! Cauliflower
How are you feeling this week? Any new

Anxiety is still an issue, and omg the lack of sleep.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary?
Dear diary- leaving my husband in the next month. Scared, but my emotional health is worth more.
GTKY: What is your favorite season? Do you get much of it where you live?
Probably fall! I love the colors & watching the leaves change. And the cooler weather!
@flamingomomma you are worth It! I know it's so hard, but everyone will be better off when you're safe and happy. Big hugs.
@flamingomomma sending you big hugs- I know it’s hard, I’ve been there (albeit, not pregnant!). You’re doing the best thing for you and your little!
@echo-charlietango I’m on Tricare as well... I wish they’d start paying for adjustments
. I pay $45 per adjustment and it’s definitely worth it!!
@runrinserepeat My first two settled in pretty early on. DS3 was a stubborn little thing and didn’t flip til 37 weeks after a lot of chiropractor visits and handstands in the pool!
How far along are you? How big is baby?
25+4 I believe! Cauliflower sized.
How are you feeling this week? Any new
symptoms?
Sameeeee. Hot, tired, and huge.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary?
Dear Diary, the first week of school is so hard- especially because my kids slept in! That early alarm clock is killin’ me!
GTKY: What is your favorite season? Do you get much of it where you live?
Fall and spring for sure. We actually got a decent spring this year. Hoping fall has the same plan!

Feeling pretty good, other than some ferocious heart burn and just tired all the time.
Not it really a rant, as much as a bit sad. My parents come stay with us all summer, from Memorial Day to Labor Day. My kids get really attached to them, and they’re super helpful during my very busy summer season at work. They left Monday to head home to Arizona and it’s been a tough adjustment for all of us!
Favorite season is definitely fall - cooler weather, football season, baseball playoffs, and beautiful fall leaves!
@morgantu I'm so glad I'm not the only one who is dealing with random acne. I feel so disgusting. I never break out so apparently I am experiencing third trimester hormones at 26 weeks. Hoping I can get them to go away with extra face washing. But gross.
My baby shower invites went out this week too and my mom said she's already getting RSVP's! Yay!
@PensiveCrayon I am so ready for December too! It feels like this is taking forever and I just want to hold my munchkin! Honestly, hoping he'll come a little early (like 37 or 38 weeks so still full term) just because I'm being selfish.
@flamingomomma I'm sorry that you are having to deal with this in general but especially while pregnant. I'll echo what everyone is saying, let us know if you need anything.
How far along are you? How big is baby?
26 weeks, the size things make no sense to me anymore... But he's big!
How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms?
Acne and insomnia. Gross.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary?
So ready to meet this little man. My sister in law is having her second baby in less than two weeks and I am honestly struggling that I have to help them welcome another baby before I get my first. (For those of you who don't know my story it's been a long haul to get to this point for me.) Don't get me wrong I'll love that kid more than life but I'm ready for my turn.
GTKY: What is your favorite season? Do you get much of it where you live?
I would say when I lived in Florida and California it was summer. We were always in the pool or at the beach. It was amazing!! The seasons here kind of suck because it could be 90 one day and 50 the next. I'm going to say winter just because that's when little man is due and I love Christmas but I really just love to live in tropical places and love summer!
25w4d
Starting to have lots of pubic pain. Had this last time, but feels like it’s started earlier this time around. Time was flying by, but feels like it’s starting to drag.
Gonna start reading some books/articles to try to prepare DS for new baby. He’s 18mo old. I’m a little worried about his adjustment.
Fall is best. Is there even really a competition?

Thank you! I know, I'm trying so hard to stay positive! It just still feels so far away! And I'm still so scared something will go wrong. Hopefully next baby won't be quite as scary for me!
