What fruit/animal/object is baby this week? Barbie Convertible!

Any new symptoms, changes etc? Not really, just having a harder time breathing, and I'm so hot all.the.time.

Raves, rants, questions? My shower is in a week and I'm so excited!!! I went shopping yesterday to try and find a dress but I think I'll just wear something I already have because I felt giant in all of the things I tried on. I'm loving seeing all of the baby things arriving, and checking my registry daily because things are disappearing quickly now that the shower is so soon. I'm super stoked someone got us the travel system, since that was a big-ticket item I was just hoping to use the completion discount for! yay!!!

QOTW: What is your favorite summer drink? Mojitos! I may try and figure out how to make a virgin one because I'm craving it so badly.

That's the whole thing, I don't remember contractions feeling the same as cramps. I think I've been listening to too many birth stories! They have me thinking everything is labor.

He also told me that if they last less than 20 seconds, it's probably just your uterus stretching or internal organs shifting to make room for a bigger baby

My nose is so sensitive right now to BO. Like the office and the bus are nightmares and I keep telling my DH he smells.

QOTW: What is your favorite summer drink?

I don't know!!! I love ice cold cider, margaritas white wine and white wine sangria. I guess there must be summer drinks without alcohol but I sure don't drink em!

[amyface813]

@julieyadda I think it was the ovia app where they did a 28 weeks video and she was like baby is the size of a coconut but since there were only small coconuts at my grocery baby is the size of two coconuts! It made me smile. I agree on your drinks. It's really booze or water for me in the summer... winter has some better non-alcoholic drink options.

What fruit/animal/object is baby this week?
Chihuahua

Any new symptoms, changes etc? Lots of RLP. Never had it the first time so had to ask my OB. Man this sucks.

Raves, rants, questions? I avoided stretch marks with DS (besides one) and I don't think I'll be as lucky this time. ☹️

QOTW: What is your favorite summer drink? Sangria or a ice cold blue moon, or summer shandy, or any flavored delicious lemon beer. Wow this thread is making me want to drink all the alcohol! At least we won't be pregnant all summer lol. With DS I got pregnant in May.

Ahhh yes! Water. A great summer drink! I can drink litres easy in the summer, but can barely get one in during the winter months.
