How far along are you? 31 weeks

What are you doing this week to prepare for baby? Nothing. It's been a busy week between recovering from being ill, moving to working the haunted house 4 days a week instead of 3, working my adult job, and reading and reviewing a book for the blog I write for

What is your current pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)? As selfish as it sounds, it makes people be a little nicer to me. At the haunted house, I can always find somewhere to sit b/c someone will always give the pregnant lady their seat. It also gives me license to be a bit...sassy...with people b/c they blame the hormones. I'm a real smart ass in my head most of the time, but being pregnant allows me to let it show a little more than I usually do.

Any updates/news from last week? nope

QOTW: What's one unexpected pregnancy symptom that you're experiencing/have experienced? I noticed with both this pregnancy and the one with DD1 that I have less tolerance for people. I am much more impatient and willing to go off on people who get on my nerves. It's hard at times b/c I work in a job where the customers I deal with can be...difficult...and I have to keep myself in check sometimes b/c I can't afford to loose this job just because I had to deal with someone I felt was an idiot.

I guess I go here now!

How far along are you? 15 weeks 4 days

What are you doing this week to prepare for baby? Finishing my dissertation--I defended it last week and want to file it this coming Friday.

What is your current pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)? Having the DNA test come back and now being in 2nd trimester and getting bigger is making me feel like this is really happening and more connected to the new baby.

Any updates/news from last week? I'm new!

QOTW: What's one unexpected pregnancy symptom that you're experiencing/have experienced? Not sure if this is a symptom but I have had so many colds in the last weeks...my last pregnancy I felt like I had a super immune system but this one not so much.

What are you doing this week to prepare for baby? We purchased the paint for his room (a soft sage), and we should be painting this weekend. Then we can arrange furniture, buy a lamp, and I can FINALLY organize the 7 boxes of hand-me-downs that are taking up space in my office!

What is your current pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)? Definitely movement. I love feeling him kick and turn, and watching MH's joy when he feels the baby.

Any updates/news from last week? Nope

QOTW: Painful legs. I have varicose veins and my legs have been super achy. I'm 100% getting surgery to repair them after baby is born, but damn they hurt.
