Symptoms/Cravings: I've been SO thirsty lately and achy everywhere and having a ton of braxton hicks.
Rants/Raves: DD and I have Saturday alone this week since DH is going to a football game so I am excited to have a daughter/mommy date!
Questions:
GTKY- You just found a $20 on the ground and no one is around so you pocket it. What are you going to do with it? I will probably put it in my wallet and forget about it because I never use cash. OR I will save it for my daughter's next field trip or pizza money which is $30/quarterly and drives me nuts because I always have to go to the ATM. Here is a rant they should just bill us extra for the freaking pizza money haha.
Me: 38, DH: 36 Married Jan 2008 DD Baby Bells born Dec 2016 5 lbs, 12 oz, 18" so in love Due with #2 Baby Arya EDD February 2020
Baby Size: cheesesteaks baby girl is 1lb 8oz, baby boy is 1lb 13oz (93rd percentile, eek!)
Upcoming Appts: 24w appt this morning. The potential club foot noted on last exam appears to be normal, so yay! Cervical length is still great which makes me feel a bit better about the Braxton-Hicks I've been having. Next visit is glucose test, other labwork and Tdap vaccine in 1 month
Symptoms/Cravings: still can't quite wean off the zofran. BH with activity. Energy burst has definitely dwindled but still better than before No real cravings right now but have been enjoying those instant oatmeal packs. Usually I eat real oatmeal with basically no sugar but these ones are so quick and easy and tasty.
Rants/Raves: My doctors are really happy with how I'm doing and that makes me happy. Rant is that we have a lot of different projects around the house that need attention before the babies get here and a lot of it isn't stuff I can really help with (car maintenance, fixing the shower, etc). I'm so grateful I have a handy husband who can do these things and save us a bunch of money but I'm definitely fretting a bit thinking about all that needs done in just a few months!
Questions: my OB told me I don't need to fast before my 1hr glucose test, just not to have a really carb-heavy breakfast. Anyone else not have to fast?
GTKY- You just found a $20 on the ground and no one is around so you pocket it. What are you going to do with it? Honestly it'll probably just sit in my wallet forever, haha. I use my credit card the majority of the time. I might use it to buy lunch or something at some point.
@swiflet, I didn’t fast before the 1 hour last time and won’t this time. I made sure not to eat too many carbs before and had a high protein snack after. The 3 hour may be different.
Upcoming Appts: 11/22 for OB appt, glucose test, MFM ultrasound and appt (doing it all in one shot lol)
Symptoms/Cravings: feeling my lungs being squished when I sit slouched on the couch. It’s too early to feel this way!
Rants/Raves: Rants: feeling uncomfortable much earlier on Raves: DD loves talking to baby brother and it melts my heart every time
Questions:
GTKY- You just found a $20 on the ground and no one is around so you pocket it. What are you going to do with it? Put it in my wallet and forget about it most likely. If I really want to spend it maybe buy lunch.
@jvk2012 Your DD is handling pregnancy better than mine! Bells got her sleepy lamb which plays a lullaby yesterday and I asked if she wanted to hold the lamb to my tummy to let the baby hear and she completely melted down - she was like NO! IT'S MINE! Preview of things to come
@ibabyloveb87 - I leave work at 4 and it was getting pretty dark already yesterday - like what????

Symptoms/Cravings: Honestly, feeling fantastic this week! Loving the baby somersaults.
Rants/Raves: Rants: A lot of changes at work (e.g., new CEO, HR policies and end of the year bonuses being withheld) are putting everyone on edge. Raves: Going nursery shopping this weekend!
Questions:
GTKY: You just found a $20 on the ground and no one is around so you pocket it. What are you going to do with it? Lunch!
Symptoms/Cravings: I’m having more aversions than cravings. Most food has been giving me heartburn and acid reflux.
Baby’s movements are getting stronger every day.
Rants: Daylight Savings is ruining my five year old’s sleep. 😭😂
Rave: Every day when I drop my daughter off at school she hugs and kisses me. She then hugs and kisses my stomach. ❤️
Questions:
GTKY- You just found a $20 on the ground and no one is around so you pocket it. What are you going to do with it? I’d probably end up spending it in my daughter.
Upcoming Appts: I think not till 11/28 where I'll get a Rhogam shot
Symptoms/Cravings: damn the halloween candy....my sweet tooth is now out of control!
Rants/Raves: Only raves this week! We repainted our dresser for the baby's room. It was a black wood with dated hardware and we painted it a nice gray/blue color and put matte gold hardware on and it looks so cute! Also when my hubby came home from work yesterday, he gave me a kiss then gave my belly a kiss and it was the cutest thing.
Questions: None
GTKY- You just found a $20 on the ground and no one is around so you pocket it. What are you going to do with it? Probably either forget I had it in my pocket or buy ice cream and feed this sweet tooth.
Upcoming Appts: 28 week appointment at the end of the month w/ 1 hr glucose test.
Symptoms/Cravings: Still totally craving sugar right now! Finally feeling baby move on a more consistent basis. He seems to be most active after I eat and around bedtime.
Rants/Raves: (I'm determined to find a rave each week and stay away from rants 😊) RAVE - I finally feel like I have a bump!! Also, with more movement I've been able to see my belly move when he's especially active. SO COOL to experience as a FTM.
Questions: none at the moment.
GTKY- You just found a $20 on the ground and no one is around so you pocket it. What are you going to do with it? Just like any other cash I get, I'd tuck it away in a drawer, forget I have it, and end up being surprised when I find it again.
