100% relaxation! We tend to not join my in laws on vacation for this reason. Both DH and myself would rather book 1 or 2 days of “busy” and then just lay around and be lazy the res rid the time lol!

Baby is the size of a (an): Bunch of kale..?

Team blue/pink/green: Pink
Upcoming Appointments: 3 hour glucose test at some point. Growth ultrasound in 2 weeks.
How are you feeling?: More energy than I have had since pregnancy started, so that’s good, but I’m just a few weeks from the 3rd tri, soooo I’m sure I’ll lose the energy soon. I’m also more uncomfortable by the day.
Rants/Raves: my goal today was to clean my daughters room fully. Took me four hours and lots of sweat but I got it done!
Questions: I get lots of Braxton hicks when doing things around the house. Vacuuming, cleaning, etc. anyone else?
GTKY: Do you prefer vacations full of activities or relaxation? A mix? I want to have some fun and do some things, but I need enough time to actually relax and feel like I’m on vacation too!

By the end of the day I tend to have BH, when I have to pee, ride in the car for too long, or stand up after sitting for a while.

I’m a teacher so I think being up and down all day is why I have them by the end of the day, but so far that haven’t been *horrible.* what’s helped me the most is doing some of the spinning babies daily activities and just trying to relax me body/hips before bed!

Baby is the size of a (an): rutabaga

Team blue/pink/green: pink

Upcoming Appointments: 3 weeks

How are you feeling?: tired. Relieved that baby is measuring a bit bigger than she was.

Rants/Raves: Rant: 3hr glucose test wasn't too fun and they haven't given me results yet. Of course all I'm craving now is cake and cookies. Rave: I asked my mom to give me a sprinkle (I love celebrations). She's still recovering from breast cancer and radiation, but she was excited I brought it up with her.

Questions: natm

GTKY: Do you prefer vacations full of activities or relaxation? Mostly like exploring and take in the place I'm visiting.

@lolothenailtech I get them probably every day. Moreso, when my bladder is full or I'm feeling stressed. Though my body is a contraction machine (I had to get shots with my son's birth because I was contracting too much).

@theneno1012 I’ve been drinking chia seeds in water for my heartburn and it seems to be helping. Not sure if it’s in my head or actually working, but you might want to give it a try!

sph97 · May 8

I try to eat chia seed pudding in the morning (well, more like drink it real fast lol) and I notice on the days I remember my heartburn is more manageable!
I also take a Pepcid daily and keeps tums nearby at all times 😅

theneno1012 · May 8

Trying the chia seeds in water now. I’ll try anything. I am trying to avoid acid suppressants because they can interfere with absorbing my iron so I will try just about anything

Baby is the size of a (an): Cantaloupe

Team blue/pink/green: Green
Upcoming Appointments: another set of sonograms next week
How are you feeling?: Pretty good. I tend to eat less but more often. My feet and legs are starting to swell if I'm not careful and sit for too long.
Rants/Raves: I don't appreciate getting kicked so often when I'm trying to fall asleep, but I'm hoping the new mattress will help all of us sleep better.
Questions: Can my cat smell that something different is going on? He's become so much more lovey in the last few weeks.
GTKY: Do you prefer vacations full of activities or relaxation? I like the option for both. It's fun to do a lot of things in a place you haven't been to before, but it's good to have the option to slow down when needed.
