Symptoms/Cravings: Heartburn every night, I feel like I'm officially an upright sleeper now! Also, hip/pelvis pain...
Rants/Raves: 94 days till baby... I have been counting down to the 100 day mark for awhile and now that we're on the other side I. Am. Panicking!! Time is going by way too fast.
Questions:
GTKY- If you were arrested with no explanation, what would your friends and family assume you had done? Probably something with my driving... I have a bit of a lead foot.
Symptoms/Cravings: craving mostly sweet stuff, which is the opposite of not-pregnant me. My right hip has been hurting a lot the last couple days when walking. My nesting mode is out of control. Yesterday I emptied and organized both pantries and ALL of the kitchen cabinets. Today I emptied and reorganized the hall coat closet.
Rants/Raves: nothing much either way.
GTKY- If you were arrested with no explanation, what would your friends and family assume you had done? Hmm, this is tough! I'm a big rule follower and hate confrontation. Inside the privacy of my own vehicle though, I will cuss you out for being an idiot driver, so maybe something along those lines
Symptoms/Cravings: Lots of hip pain if I don't use my pregnancy pillow.
Rants/Raves: I have had a major toothache all day. I'm really hoping it goes away because I HATE the dentist. Also excited for Turkey Day next week, even if it is a lot of work.
GTKY- If you were arrested with no explanation, what would your friends and family assume you had done? Probably something driving related as well.
Upcoming Appts: Friday for a check up and Tdap or Rhogam - I forget which
Symptoms/Cravings: sweeeets! And still tons of fruit.
Rants/Raves: Rant- been having upper back pain for a month or so and it’s driving me crazy and now some sciatica pain is starting, noooo! Rave - just got back from Hawaii with my husband’s family and it was wonderful! Especially nice being weightless in a pool!!
Questions: I had one but now I forget what it was lol
GTKY- If you were arrested with no explanation, what would your friends and family assume you had done? At this point they’d probably assume I stole a cake from a bakery or something 😂 outside of pregnancy, they’d probably think I ran my mouth off to someone 😳
Upcoming Appts: Friday for glucose, regular OB, ultrasound with MFM
Symptoms/Cravings: my sides feel like they are bursting
Rants/Raves: Rants: it’s getting harder to do the things for DD I usually do. I have to be more mindful of how I put her in and out of her crib, etc. Raves: DD is talking to my belly and about baby brother even more
Questions:
GTKY- If you were arrested with no explanation, what would your friends and family assume you had done? Something driving related most likely
Symptoms/Cravings: Total exhaustion has taken over. I took a three hour nap on Sunday.
Rants/Raves: none really
Questions: none
GTKY- If you were arrested with no explanation, what would your friends and family assume you had done? Honestly, this would never happen. I am a goodie two shoes. But if we’re pretending, probably something that involved protecting my daughter.
Symptoms/Cravings: I'm not really craving food at this point. I get heartburn. Last night I made french toast and bacon and it was lovely. I hurt my back giving my daughter a piggyback ride and then compounding it by cuddling, standing from sitting position with her curled in my arms and taking her into the nursery to rock her. I am not going to complain though because I miss rocking her and it was very sweet. Besides the heartburn and the back I'm tired and bloated but that's about it.
Rants/Raves: Rave -I can't believe how fast this month has gone by. We do a sticker chart for accident-free days and my daughter has only had two accidents all month, I am really proud of her. Oh also I sent out her birthday party invites today and I hope maybe half of her class shows as I think that will be manageable and fun. Rant - My husband signed me up to make mashed potatoes for ten children at Bella's school.
Questions:
GTKY- If you were arrested with no explanation, what would your friends and family assume you had done? Eek, IDK I am a rule follower now that I am older. When I was younger on the other hand...
@ibabyloveb87 oh yours is cute! Isn't a butternut squash bigger than cabbage? I hate these sizes they make no sense. @jvk2012 that is so cute that your son is talking to the baby. I can't get my daughter to do that. She did give her a hug this morning which was cute. I'm going to give her some baby books for Christmas maybe that will help. @nhh11 - shouldn't these bakeries just be giving us food? @kjeepers87 - i'm sorry about your toothache! Sometimes it can be just a piece of food stuck, have you tried those little sticks with the tiny brushes at the end? @Swiftlet - haha your answer reminded me of Demolition Man, where Stallone gets tickets every time he curses. My husband would be in jail and the key would be thrown away at this point @fallonpartyfor2 - I think the holidays will make the next month or so fly and then we will only have six weeks left - that is SCARY.

Upcoming Appts: early December for the dreaded glucose test!!
Symptoms/Cravings: +1 for lots of pelvic aches and pains. Definitely walking slower, and it's extra tough to get from sitting to standing. Sweets are still a big craving!
Rants/Raves: RANT - So. Dang. Swamped. Worked from home for half the day on Saturday. Then worked on my Masters coursework all day Sunday. Hardly had a weekend!! I've also been staying up several hours past my bedtime to do coursework during the week.
Questions:
GTKY- If you were arrested with no explanation, what would your friends and family assume you had done? Definitely driving related. I am so impatient behind the wheel. I commute 45 minutes each way, and am generally annoyed by most drivers.
@malloryfrommn So impressed by all your hard work for your masters! I feel for you. I did my MBA while working and NOT pregnant and it was a feat. A couple of the guys wives had babies while in the program but only one of the women had a baby over the 2 years. If this makes you feel any better, one of the guys in our class’s wife gave birth to QUADRUPLETS the first week of our first year. I have no idea how he did it but he finished the whole program.
@malloryfrommn I second @nhh11! I got my M.Ed while teaching full time and with a 5 year old at home and was ready to lose my mind. I can't imagine doing it pregnant!
@nhh11 oh man, you are too kind! I am seriously impressed that the guy with the quadruplets made it through!! I know once baby is here it will be 100x harder. Literally just taking it one week at a time.
@kjeepers87 M.Ed with a 5 year old sounds way more challenging than my present situation! Good for you, girl! Any tips for balancing it all?
