Re: TTGP Grad Check-in 8.1

  • What's going on this week? Hopefully getting back to a routine after a three week visit from the ILs. 

    How far along are you? 26 weeks today

    Anyone have an appointment this week? I had an appointment on Monday.  Pretty routine check up and I was actually measuring 27 weeks. 

    Cravings/Symptoms? Just lots of heartburn. Thankfully, I got the go ahead to start taking Zantac since Tums hasn't been helping at all. 

    Rants/Raves/Randoms? Nesting has officially kicked in and I'm starting to freak out a bit. H and I have so much to do to get our house ready for the new baby and I feel like nothing is done.  

    Questions? Nothing right now

    GTKY: What is something that you don't regret doing but would never do again? Have a big wedding. I had an amazing day and don't regret it one bit, but I would never want to plan a wedding and do all the DIY stuff again.

  • What's going on this week? Not much just trying to get myself organized and everything ready for the school year. I still have a lot to do and I want to have it all ready to go before the baby gets here. 

    How far along are you? 24 weeks 

    Anyone have an appointment this week? I had one yesterday. It was ok. They are worried about him being a big baby and plan to monitor his growth closely. I’m ready to take my glucose test so I can know if I have GD. 

    Cravings/Symptoms? Just fatigue and hip pain mostly. I think he pushes into my diaphragm because I struggle to breathe a lot. So I’m ready for him to drop some. 

    Rants/Raves/Randoms? We are taking a trip next week to the state fair. Should be lots of fun and good fair food! 

    Questions?

    GTKY: What is something that you don't regret doing but would never do again? Graduate school! I loved getting my degree but I hated writing my thesis. Plus always having to present in front of my committee was so stressful. I always felt like I never had enough background knowledge to answer their questions thoroughly. Plus, running experiments and trouble shooting everything just took soooo long. It was very tiring and frustrating after working on the same thing for hours, days, or even weeks. 

    @klstone25 wedding is a good one too! That was a very stressful time. 
  • What's going on this week? eh, nothing much. My in laws were in town (but not staying with us) but they will stay with us tonight so MH can drive them back to the airport early this morning.

    How far along are you? 26+5 today

    Anyone have an appointment this week? nope, next Friday

    Cravings/Symptoms? I feel huge and exhausted, waking up many times a night to pee and then have trouble getting back to sleep. I know it only gets worse from here..

    Rants/Raves/Randoms? We're going to a housewarming this weekend, but its sort of far away from us. I want to go, but I'm also not looking forward to the over an hour drive each way. I also hope DS behaves himself.. this is a kid free house right now and I'm sure very nicely decorated.

    Questions?

    I'm going to go with @emeraldcity1214 and say grad school. So. Much. Work. and, so much $$$$. Still paying it off.

    @emeraldcity1214 fair food is the best!! enjoy! I hope you don't have GD and then your provider can relax a little about the baby's size.

    @klstone25 I hope the zantac helps the heartburn! I haven't had any yet although I really suffered when I was pregnant with DS. I think we also have a lot to do to get ready for baby, but MH doesn't seem concerned yet.
  • I had a few orientation meetings to go to for my daughter’s schooling yesterday. DH was home doing projects and getting things marked off my list for him to do. When I got home, he asked me when I was going to organize the nursery. I told him I’m not nesting on that right now. I have no idea why but I have no desire to nest there. It may be due to PGAL or just my focus being on the rest of the house. I told him it would probably change when we get the dresser and crib so I can actually put his clothes away.
