1. How many weeks? How big is baby? 26 weeks - cabbage or lettuce or something? Haven't read it yet, just glanced at the picture when I opened the app this morning.
2. How are you feeling? Tired, but not from growing a human, just from life. Pregnancy-wise I feel pretty great!
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm just super irritable. Maybe that should go up in the "how are you feeling" question - I just feel like I have a super short fuse right now. My husband called me out on it this morning and I apologized (because he's right, I have been grumpy) but now he's being all short with me. I'm really trying now to be over the top positive and nice in the hopes that it'll even out my grumpiness so I seem normal, but he's still mad. UGHHHH
4. Any appts this week? I go in Tuesday for the second A/S and a regular appt.
5. What is your favorite fall treat? I love those pumpkin muffins with the cream cheese in the middle. Those rock. I also really love hot apple cider.
1. How many weeks? How big is baby? 26 @BourbonBiscuits - I got you this week. It’s kale!
2. How are you feeling? Pretty good. My back still hurts if I’ve overdone it, but I’m really trying to move more. I like to run and be active when not pregnant, but I’m a lazy lump of lard these days.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? Time is flying and I’m ready to start organizing. Baby’s room is currently my office/toy room for DD and needs cleaned out. There’s a desk, couch, and chest that needs moved out. (Not really a rant, rave, or question. Oh well.)
4. Any appts this week? Nope. Not for 3ish weeks.
5. What is your favorite fall treat? Breads. I love pumpkin bread and anything carb-y.
1. How many weeks? How big is baby? 27 weeks, lettuce?
2. How are you feeling? My hips and pubic bone are so achy and sore!! Every morning I get out of bed feeling like I was horseback riding all night. I feel like I’m getting more sore way quicker this time around.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? I’m interviewing doulas and it is exhausting. I still feel like I haven’t found ‘the one’ but I’m quickly getting burnt out on interviewing.
4. Any appts this week? Not until 11-20
5. What is your favorite fall treat? Pumpkin bread with butter and hot chocolate! Mmmm
@allthingsgo - pubic bone pain here too. It’s been sore off and on for the last few weeks. I had SPD last time and felt like my entire pelvis was hit with a hammer. Hoping it’s easier this time but have a feeling that’s not how that works.
Feeling good, but the heartburn at night is rough. I’m sleeping propped up now which is helping.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions?
NJTransit trains are insane this week (they always are but more so this week). I got home at 9PM Mon and Tues after leaving work at 6PM. I couldn’t get into work today at 11... We moved to our new house in May bc it should be a 35 min train ride but these claustrophobic 2 hr+ stalled train rides are killing me. I sit there starving, get home, eat at 9:30PM, and then have insane heartburn. Panicking about what we’ll do when I’m back at work and we hit one of these major delays with daycare. Both DH and I work in the city...
4. Any appts this week? Nov. 12th
5. What is your favorite fall treat?
Hot apple cider, and pumpkin anything. Had pumpkin soup three times this week.
1. How many weeks? How big is baby? 24 weeks - cantaloupe
2. How are you feeling? Pretty good, generally kind of tired but that's normal these days. My feet have also been hurting, I stand when teaching so I think I need to sit more
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? None for now
4. Any appts this week? Had a regular check up on Tuesday, next one is 11/27 after my glucose test - blergh they make you fast here
5. What is your favorite fall treat? +1 to pumpkin stuff, breads, soups, and hot chocolate. I'm all about fall treats
1. How many weeks? How big is baby? 24 weeks today. Baby is a cantaloupe. Yay for viability!
2. How are you feeling? Exhausted. Utterly and completely exhausted. It’s been a busy week and being pregnant while chasing around 2 littles is torture.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? I wish I could enjoy this pregnancy more since it’s my last. I’m so ready to get my energy back, though. I know I’m going to regret not cherishing these last 16 weeks. I just don’t know how to make myself enjoy this right now.
4. Any appts this week? Next appt is Monday afternoon!
5. What is your favorite fall treat? Caramel apples. Caramel everything, lately. Lol I usually am super into pumpkin stuff, but baby boy is loving all of the caramel. I’m in deep trouble if I end up with the betus.
@PurplePoppy424 I feel like I should be enjoying this time more too. Tonight I snuggled with DS in his big boy bed until he fell asleep and I started off making lists in my head of all the things I needed to do, which made me irritated that he wasn’t asleep yet. But I really tried to just focus on him and it was so nice. Baby girl was rolling around (she always tries to roll as close to him as possible) and he was all snuggled up breathing in my face and it was heaven. But now that he’s asleep I’m panicking about everything I need to get done tonight and back to feeling tired of being pregnant instead of enjoying it. It’s a constant back and forth.
@allthingsgo - I hope it’s not and you get some relief. When I was in the last week or so last time, I used a walker to get off the couch. Once I was up I could usually walk around okay, but getting up was torture. It felt like my pelvis was shattered.
@PurplePoppy424 - prob my last pregnancy and I keep having to remind myself to cherish it too - especially baby movement. Eff the reflux, tiredness, and all that, but more than likely the last time I’ll feel my baby move from inside, so trying to soak it up.
