How are you feeling?: Feeling pretty good- some stretching pains in my sides or groin area, peeing a lot. I've gained almost 5 pounds in the past 3 weeks. I am feeling baby a lot more now which is reassuring
Rants/Raves: I finally took the time and put everything we need for baby so far into my babylist so its better organized for when I start buying things. DH is almost finished with the shed so hopefully we can clear out the guest room soon and start painting the nursery
Questions: STM: anyone planning on reusing your pacifiers and bottle nipples? I don't see why you shouldn't be able to as long as they aren't cracked or worn down. Nipples are expensive!
GTKY: Did you have a favorite teacher growing up and why? I think my 3rd grade teacher was one of my favorites- she was just a very creative and interesting person and I loved her teaching style. I also enjoyed my art teacher and he encouraged me a lot with my painting and expressing myself- I entered a lot of art competitions in elementary and middle school and won a few!
Feeling fine just ready to NOT BE PREGNANT I'm so tired of this.
I have not heard results from anatomy scan so I guess it's fine?
Rants/raves nothing really, still trying to stay active, and enjoy summer best I can with limited mobility. Getting really excited for postpartum life. I know it's hard, but it means I'm healing and recovering.
Feeling a lot less down these days and excited to meet baby.
My mom was a teacher so let's say she was my favorite lol even though I went to a different school.

Upcoming Appointments: August 16, next scan to try and measure the bugger again, since he was being so squirmy last time.
How are you feeling?: Decent. Achey, but decent otherwise.
Rants/Raves: I'm having fun seeing things slowly disappear off the registry--our shower is a little over a month out!
Questions: None today!
GTKY: Did you have a favorite teacher growing up and why? A few. My choir teacher, government teacher, and creative writing teacher (all high school) in particular stand out. Mostly because they were so incredibly supportive, but at the same time challenging--and you could just tell they loved what they did and loved their students. Plus they made their classes fun and interesting.

Rants/Raves:
Questions: Has anyone else’s sex drive returned? I’m nervous about sex. What if it gives me contractions?
GTKY: Did you have a favorite teacher growing up and why? My 4th/5th grade teacher was amazing. She taught us Greek mythology and Shakespeare. She would dress up as this witch for Halloween and got really into it. Also I was really close to my 7th grade social studies teacher. I think he could tell what an awkward time I was going through and he made me feel special and joked with me.

GTKY: Did you have a favorite teacher growing up and why? I always had great relationships with all my teachers.

GTKY: Did you have a favorite teacher growing up and why? I have fond memories of several of my elementary school teachers. I had a Latin teacher in middle school that used to dress in incredibly colorful dresses, almost mumus except she was very thin, that I liked because she was just a great teacher - very organized, thorough, explained things well, was fair. I also liked my German teacher in high school because he was just a nice person and super enthusiastic about the German language.
