[mrsp121308]

Week/Team/Fruit: 29weeks/Pink/Hawaiian Pineapple

Symptoms: Heartburn when I lay down, it's fine during the day but as soon as I lay down at night it starts. Some pelvic/hip/back pain, especially after walking a lot. Overall feeling really good.

Appointments this week: Nothing this week. Next appointment is 9/30

What are you doing this week to have a healthy pregnancy?: I've really done so great on the weight gain this time, I'm so proud of myself. So I'm just going to keep walking what I am and eating what I want in moderation, but be careful going into the last 10 weeks.

GTKY: Let's talk TV. Are there any fall TV shows that you are really into/excited for? Anything you recommend we add to our watchlists? "This is Us" on NBC, looking forward to all my shows coming back, but that's really the only new one I'm excited for.

[requiressnacks]

Week/Team/Fruit: 29 weeks/B/G Twins/ Barbie convertibles or Gallons of milk

Symptoms: Lots of pelvic pain, some heartburn.

Appointments this week: TOMORROW! Finally! It's been a long time.

What are you doing this week to have a healthy pregnancy?: My eating has been a little out of control, so I am going to do my best to reel it back in this week. I also have been walking a lot less, so combined with the eating situation, I've been packing on the pounds this week.

GTKY: Let's talk TV. Are there any fall TV shows that you are really into/excited for? Anything you recommend we add to our watchlists?

mrsp121308, I'm really excited for "This is Us" too! That's the only new show I'm going to add to my lineup. I'm also excited for the Walking Dead to return.

Week/Team/Fruit: 26w3d/Pink/Butternut Squash

Symptoms: Hip is giving me grief, and then I swear I woke up this morning an my belly is bigger and rounder than it was last night.

Appointments this week: None

What are you doing this week to have a healthy pregnancy?: Continue to eat well, try to find some energy to workout(though the heat has been killer). I've been really good about the weight gain so I'm hoping it's going to continue to come on at a steady rate and not all at once.


GTKY: Let's talk TV. Are there any fall TV shows that you are really into/excited for? Anything you recommend we add to our watchlists? Big Bang theory starts tonight! I'm looking forward to Designated Survivor, it looks like a good thriller/conspiracy theory show.

I must be the only one that thinks "This is Us" is going to be a downer, at least for the first episode. Dh and I both think that the preview looks like something goes wrong at the end of the pregnancy, like they were supposed to have triplets and only go home with twins or something depressing like that based on some of the stuff the doctor says. I don't think I can handle a show like that right now.

[Winnifred]

Week/Team/Fruit: 28/pink/Walleye

Symptoms: Sore back, tired easily, not sleeping so well...

Appointments this week: None.

What are you doing this week to have a healthy pregnancy?: Hoping to get in some nice walks and 1-2 shortened strength training sessions. I'm also SO excited that we have a dinner plan for this week, that hasn't happened since before getting pg! Hopefully that means I'll be able to keep going with it, looking forward to enjoying the homemade turkey meatballs I made tonight with spaghetti.

GTKY: TV, like reading books, hasn't made the list of things my mind cares about in recent months. I'm just plugging through some Netflix shows and have no idea what to watch next. I just don't care enough right now to follow anything new!

@kc295905, My house is still a mess 92% of the time.  But I've been obsessed about getting all the dust and grime off all the cabinets, vents, under beds, etc. I don't exert myself much since the minute DH see's me up on a chair he demands I get off and he takes over.  

[Becca]

Week/Team/Fruit: 28w6d/Purple/Coconut

Symptoms: Heartburn if I don't watch what I'm eating. My fingers are also extremely swollen and stiff- anyone else?

Appointments this week: Nothing this week.

What are you doing this week to have a healthy pregnancy?: I need to start eating better after over eating junk food these past two weeks.

GTKY: Let's talk TV. Are there any fall TV shows that you are really into/excited for? Anything you recommend we add to our watchlists? I'm just excited for new stuff on TV. I don't have anything in particular I'm excited about though.

[requiressnacks]

Becca, I'm on the verge of ditching my wedding rings. They are getting pretty tight.

I must have missed that. I'll have to tread lightly with that show.  But I do love family drama shows, generally speaking. I was thinking it looked sort of Parenthood-ish, which I loved.

I ditched mine a few weeks ago.  I did go to Target and buy a ring to wear in their place for now.

Week/Team/Fruit: 27 (28 tomorrow!)/Pink

Symptoms: I miss sleeping in more than one position. Also, I miss breathing when I try to sleep in more than one position. I couldn't survive without the heating pad to slap on my lower back when it starts aching from laying in the same position ALL. THE. TIME.

Also, I think the relaxin has screwed up my knees. I haven't gained any weight, so I can't blame it on that, but it hurts so bad to squat down. Sometimes when I do it, I swear I don't have the strength to stand back up again. Yesterday morning I had to put air in my tire and I had to have DH meet me on his way to work (I was out with DD at OT) to do it for me because I couldn't get down low enough to do it myself.

Appointments this week: 28 week appointment tomorrow with my OB! After this I'll be every other week.

What are you doing this week to have a healthy pregnancy?: Umm... I prefer not to answer this, because I ate a grilled cheese sandwich for breakfast today.

GTKY: Let's talk TV. Are there any fall TV shows that you are really into/excited for? Anything you recommend we add to our watchlists? I am impatiently waiting for The Walking Dead to return. Other than that, I'm just excited for new stuff to start showing up on Hulu. We don't have cable, so all my TV watching comes from Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Prime streaming. I told DH I may add SlingTV this winter when I'm going to have a baby stuck to me all day and will be searching for more to watch on TV.

Week/Team/Fruit: 27/Green for now/Cucumber (?)

Symptoms: Baby kicks and I have to pee every time I stand up.

Appointments this week: Glucose test on Tuesday.

What are you doing this week to have a healthy pregnancy?: I get up and walk every hour and I'm just watching what I eat.

GTKY: Let's talk TV. Are there any fall TV shows that you are really into/excited for? Anything you recommend we add to our watchlists? Once Upon a Time! I can't wait! It's my favorite show. Everything else I can take or leave.

Week/Team/Fruit: 28/Pink/Nintendo or Head of Cauliflower

Symptoms: Dealing with congestion plus allergies. And last night was the first time I had to wake up TWICE to go to the bathroom. Ugh.

Appointments this week: Nope, not until mid-October.

What are you doing this week to have a healthy pregnancy?: I've been trying to take it easy with the carbs. The allergies have me feeling like I can barely breathe, let alone work out. I'm hoping to make it to barre tomorrow and get some walking in this weekend.

GTKY: Let's talk TV. Are there any fall TV shows that you are really into/excited for? Anything you recommend we add to our watchlists? I watched This Is Us last night, and it was really good. I'm not much of a live TV watcher, but I am catching up on Scandal on Netflix.

[sheepish]

Week/Team/Fruit: 28/Blue/Tropical coconut

Symptoms: Iron supplements are messing with my digestion a bit, so I'm having to readjust my fiber, etc. to try to get things running smoothly again

Appointments this week: Not until October 4

What are you doing this week to have a healthy pregnancy? Still just walking the dog and trying to eat reasonably healthy (though this week's craving for chocolate milk didn't help - I don't even usually like chocolate milk, but it was delicious!)

GTKY: Let's talk TV. Are there any fall TV shows that you are really into/excited for? Anything you recommend we add to our watchlists? We tend to be more of HGTV / Food Network watchers around our house.

sheepish, I've had to add in fiber too, just due to a sluggish system. I really have been enjoying the Kind Breakfast bars. 5 grams of fiber and they are don't taste too bad either. I also take a fiber gummy. Chocolate milk is a great source of protein. Sure it has sugar, but it's actually recommended as a post-workout recovery drink. So unless you're downing a gallon of it I think chocolate milk would be a great way to kill a craving for sugar or chocolate.

This is what I told myself first trimester when chocolate milk was one of the only things that sounded good to me! There are certainly worse things to drink. The chocolate milk from Promised Land Dairy is a little more expensive, but it is SO good.
