EDD/W+D: 3/18, 28w5d

Team pink/blue/green: pink!!!

Baby is the size of a(n): echidna (I use the ovia app and picked animals)

Cravings/Aversions: mocha/chocolate cold drink daily and that’s it

Upcoming appts: jan 15

Rants/Raves/Questions: just tired of being tired. I have a hard time getting anything productive done during DS’s naps bc I’m exhausted most days.

GTKY: What is/are your New Years resolution(s)? I haven’t had one in a couple years. Don’t think I’ll have one this year. I usually just make “resolutions” when the timing is right. Right before baby comes is def not gonna work for me bc I know all my plans will go to cr4p ha. Post-baby and when I am back to my normal size, I really want to hire a personal stylist to get me nice, fashionable clothes. All the moms in my town dress so cute and I look like an effing slob so I’d really like to do a full overhaul and try to look a little better on a regular basis. So maybe that’s my like October resolution ha.

EDD/W+D: 3/23, 28 weeks! Hello 3rd trimester 😲

Team pink/blue/green: Pink!

Baby is the size of a(n): Eggplant

Cravings/Aversions: Cereal and milk craving is still going strong. No aversions anymore.

Upcoming appts: January 6th with the OB. Going every two weeks now. How did that happen??

Rants/Raves/Questions: The holiday week has been so lovely. DS is at an age where he seems to understand Santa and Christmas & therefore, Christmas morning was so magical! My only rant is that I developed some weird rash on my inner right thigh. Sort of like poison ivy. Except it's almost January and I live in New England. Lol. Maybe it's "heat rash" from when I sleep on my sides at night? I'll point it out to my OB next week at my appointment if it's still around.

GTKY: What is/are your New Years resolution(s)? I'm not big into resolutions!

puppylove8910 · December 2019

I'm so tired these days too @silverhope. I flip from one side to the other all night long because my hips get so achy. I remember this from DS and there's nothing much I can really do about it. Hang in there!

kagesstarshroom · December 2019

@puppylove8910 I also have to flip from hip to hip while i'm trying to sleep. it's so terrible. i've been doing some hip friendly yoga every night before bed and really hope that is helping bc i can't imagine what i'd feel like if i didn't do that.

@silverhope i have been sooooooo exhausted so easily i would say... in the past week? You should try to think of your time while YS is napping AS productive and just... relax. That counts as being productive when you NEED to relax, you know? It's just the matter of wrapping your head around that.

EDD/W+D: 3/21 28w2d

Team pink/blue/green: We are finally telling... pink!

Baby is the size of a(n): kabocha squash

Cravings/Aversions: still avoiding spicy and garlicky food. craving fruit and... cookies? but mainly because they are so easy to eat and there are millions of them at my dad's house where i'm staying, it seems.

Upcoming appts: I have one next week, on Tuesday I think

Rants/Raves/Questions: I was supposed to get dinner with my BFF tonight, but he cancelled bc we were just going to eat at his parents' house and his mom is afraid she is getting sick and doesn't want me to come over. I don't have much time here left, so I'm a bit bummed--plus, if he would have told me ~10-20 minutes sooner I could have gone out with my Dad, who's going to be annoyed that I didn't once he finds out I never left bc... tht's just my Dad. I'm also just mega emotional lately, like, in the past week, and being back around where I'm "from" and away from DH (he's in upstate NY) isn't helping. As for raves, I'm glad I get to see DH tomorrow when he gets back from his trip, and extra glad my friends whose house we're going to for a NYE party are happy to have our doggies attend the shindig.

GTKY: What is/are your New Years resolution(s)? I want to immerse myself more in poetry. Reading & writing & studying it is my career, & I feel like I need to be more involved/invested in a daily practice of it.

puppylove8910 · December 2019

Ahhhhh! Welcome to team pink @kagesstarshroom. I had a feeling!!

kantobean · December 2019

@kagesstarshroom yay for team pink!

EDD/W+D: 3/20, 28+3

Team pink/blue/green: pink

Baby is the size of a(n): eggplant

Cravings/Aversions: sweets!

Upcoming appts: Tomorrow

Rants/Raves/Questions: My hips and pelvis are killing me. I went to the chiropractor last week, but I don’t feel any different and it cost over $100. They did say I hit my deductible so maybe the next session would be free or cheap? But I can’t decide whether to give it another shot or just give up since it didn’t seem to help.

GTKY: What is/are your New Years resolution(s)? I always have too many or too few. I think mainly I want to give myself grace. I know how hard the newborn stage is and I know I won’t be ready to get back in shape right away or read a ton of books or stay off social media or keep my house clean. I’m going to be a sloppy, overweight, unhealthy mess and I’m going to be ok with it.

kagesstarshroom · December 2019

@kantobean You may have hit your deductible, but it's the end of the year, don't forget! Sorry to bust your bubble, but don't want you expecting something. Unless your health insurance doesn't go from jan-dec? Also I don't understand health insurance so I could be totally wrong? I'm so sorry it didn't help. Have you tried doing yoga before bed? There are certain poses I do to help: pigeon, double pigeon, butterfly, and goddess are in my routine.

silverhope · December 2019

@kantobean preach. Gonna Also embrace being an unhealthy mess post-baby and not give myself cr4p about it. Well if you hit ur deductible, it would be free next time, but I’m assuming ure on an annual sched with the year? So u would have had to have gone today. If you are on a school cycle insurance plan and you have until next Aug, I would try a chiro again but a diff one since you found this one unhelpful.

@kagesstarshroom yay baby girl! I thought you were gonna make us wait until she is here

I had a month or two long rage period this pregnancy. Last pregnancy I was much more emotional and had periods of sadness/crying. I don’t know which I prefer ha. I don’t like being a giant b*tch so the rage wasn’t fun, but crying over baby commercials and over food last pregnancy was also cringey. It’s like half of you knows u are being overly emotional, but you can’t help your feelings. Sorry your friend bailed! I’d be sad even if not pregnant about that.

@puppylove8910 I have a rash on my neck that eventually goes away and then instantly returns. It’s so annoying. I’m not sure what it’s from either. My diaper bag?

kantobean · January 2020

@kagesstarshroom I’m a teacher so my year is September-August, haha. But I don’t think I’m going back. It just didn’t do much. My MW recommended the spinning babies website so I’m going to try some exercises from there.

kagesstarshroom · January 2020

@kantobean I'm so glad for you that I was wrong!
