  EDD/weeks+days: July 20, 28 weeks and 6 days
  
  Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: pink

  
  Baby is the size of a(n)/fun fact: MacBook Air keyboard. I swear, the bump’s baby size descriptors get really weird sometimes. 
  
  Upcoming appointments: phone checkup on Tuesday.
  
  How are you feeling? I feel good for the most part. But sleeping comfortably is now an issue. I have a pregnancy pillow that I love, but even with it sleeping on my side is killing my hips and back. 
  
  Raves/Rants: this is going to sound ungrateful, I know. My mom wants to buy me a cloth diaper service for the first year. And I’m excited about that because I think it really would help, and I want to try cloth diapers at some point. But, I still have a lot of things on my registry that need to be bought, and I’m having a hard time doing that by myself. I’ve tried communicating with her about the need to finish getting a lot of the small stuff, but she doesn’t seem to understand. She doesn’t seem to realize that all of the small things when added together is very expensive. And I get where she’s coming from that one huge gift seems more meaningful...but I need the small necessities now before baby comes.
  
  Questions: how long did you bleed/discharge after vaginal birth?
  
  GTKY: What, if anything, are you craving? Have any weird cravings caught you off guard?
  I don’t have any weird cravings, but after a long walk I always want a cold beer😩 And I crave sugar like crazy at night before bed.

  @amygray725 I bled much less than I thought I would. I feel like it's only really bad for a week or so and then it's just kind of like a heavy period. I can't be totally certain, because it's been so many years, but I think I bled for 3 or 4 weeks with it only feeling like, "whoa!" bleeding for a short period of time.
  
  Also, yes to all the sweets! I think that's probably just me though lol... not pregnancy related.

  @amygray725 the Heineken 0.0 beers are actually pretty good, for a NA beer. Just tastes like another light beer to me if you're craving one.
