Symptoms/Cravings: Still cold stuff. I just want cucumbers dipped in tzatziki.
Rants/Raves: Failed my freaking one-hour glucose test and I'm just sad. I'm usually eating veggies and this makes ZERO sense. I do have PCOS so I"m wondering if that has something to do with it. They did say to fast for 8 hours so I'm wondering if that made things weird.
Questions: Not right now.
GTKY- If you were arrested with no explanation, what would your friends and family assume you had done? Honestly they probably would think what the heck I was arrested for because I'm such a rule follower lol.
Upcoming Appts: passed my GTT! And my antibody titers are normal which is great. Our ultrasound looked perfect so another month until my next ultrasound.
Symptoms/Cravings: French toast. I can’t stop making it.
Rants/Raves: she moves sooooo much. She keeps waking me up. DS never did this.
Questions:
GTKY- If you were arrested with no explanation, what would your friends and family assume you had done? Lost it on someone who littered. People who act like the world is their trash can and can’t be bothered to walk the half block to a garbage can with their Starbucks cup make me want to kill.
@brookert615 failing the one-hour doesn’t mean you have gestational diabetes. The three-hour isn’t fun, but you’ll have a better answer then. With DS1 I failed my one-hour but passed the three. Also, gestational diabetes isn’t always preventable. Crossing my fingers you pass your three-hour!
@brookert615 GD doesn’t have to do with how healthy you eat- it has to do with how the hormones from the placenta affect your ability to utilize insulin. Eating healthy can help manage GD but doesn’t prevent you from getting it. And PCOS people absolutely have an increased incidence of GD since PCOS makes you more likely to be insulin resistant already. But failing the 1 hour doesn’t mean you have GD. About 20% of people fail the 1 hour and only 7% of people have GD
Baby Size: babies are the size of an endive. And their feet are each the size of a paperclip.
Upcoming Appts: my first official specialist OB apt is tomorrow. I have another 3 hr anatomy scan scheduled then a 1.5hr OB apt. I'm nervous but hopeful to get some real info finally.
Symptoms/Cravings: nothing really. Just mostly crappy food that I usually dont eat coz I am dieting lol
Rants/Raves:
Questions: any questions I should ask at my apt tomorrow? Most of my questions are around current medications, when and procedure before and after c-section, how my babies are doing currently, upcoming shots, glucose test and activity restrictions. Anything I'm missing? I appreciate all of the advice. First OB apt for FTM of triplets!
GTKY- If you were arrested with no explanation, what would your friends and family assume you had done? I'm not sure probably speeding or something.
@brookert615 I'm sorry you failed your glucose test. Hopefully they can get the next one scheduled quickly and hopefully it wont be too bad.
Symptoms/Cravings: Kicking, thrashing, wild little one! Cravings = MORE. My appetite is in full swing.
Rants/Raves: I'm feeling perky AF this week. My crossfit gym is having a social media challenge and I'm loving it! I typically only post about keeping a zero-waste house and my knitting and crafting, but I'm really loving the excuse to post about crossfit during pregnancy. Last pregnancy and PP I toned down a lot of my excitement "for" other people, but this time I want to talk about my real experiences. An extreme boatload of effort has gone into my nutrition and fitness during pregnancy and will continue PP, and I don't want to have to pretend I'm just lucky.
Questions:
GTKY- If you were arrested with no explanation, what would your friends and family assume you had done? Probably something along the lines of had a mental break and attacked someone/ destroyed something...
Upcoming Appts: I had my 28 week appt today. Baby was measuring right on track and apparently I've lost 5lbs in the last 2 weeks? I'm pretty sure it had everything to do with not wearing my work clothes to the appt which involves a bulky uniform and heavy boots. I also passed my 1hr glucose test but have low iron. They had me do another blood draw today to determine if I need iron supplements.
Symptoms/Cravings: Sweet and salty things.
Rants/Raves: My capstone project for grad school is due this Saturday. Sunday is hubby's birthday and then we have 2 days to furiously unpack the house and clean before family shows up next Wednesday for the holiday (we're hosting). Oh, yeah, and I still have to work full time. This next week and a half is going to be an adventure. At least after this project, school is done. FOREVER.
Questions:
GTKY- If you were arrested with no explanation, what would your friends and family assume you had done? Probably something related to driving. I'm not the best driver.
Upcoming Appts: Friday after thanksgiving Every 2 weeks now!
Symptoms/Cravings: starting to feel uncomfortable all the time. I really lucked out this time with feeling good in the second trimester and I miss it already. Hit or miss on what is tasting good but loving all carbs and junk 😬 Passed my glucose by 2 points So I should try and reign my carbs in a bit
Rants/Raves: wishing I could get my h’s to do list to match mine 🙄
Questions:

Symptoms/Cravings: This weekend I had ALL the emotions.
Rants/Raves: The nursery (former closet) now has a dresser that will double as a changing station, the SNOO (which will be in our room more than likely) and a glider on the way. It’s becoming more nursery than closet!!
Questions:
GTKY- If you were arrested with no explanation, what would your friends and family assume you had done? Probably attacked someone for something maddening and deserving of attack.
also, @clee5711 - +1 on “wishing I could get my h’s to do list to match mine 🙄” He is the greatest and most wonderful man, but our timelines and sense of urgency and anxiety regarding prep are SO different 😂
Upcoming Appts: has them last Friday, won’t go back till dec. 6th because of the holiday
Symptoms/Cravings: leg cramps at night 😒, not craving anything in particular
Rants/Raves: I have been doing pretty well keeping my emotions in check the whole pregnancy but in the last week several sad events have happened in the family and with close friends, needless to say the flood gates have opened and I can’t seem to get them to stop ☹️
Questions: none currently
