Good Sunday Morning!
Week/Fruit (if you know it):

Boy/Girl/Team green:

Symptoms:

Appointments/milestones:

Questions/comments:

GTKY: This is obviously a very serious question- do you like a cold breakfast i.e. cereal, yogurt, smoothies, etc. or do you prefer a hot breakfast i.e. eggs, oatmeal, pancakes, etc.? If you have a reason why throw it in there too.

Week/Fruit (if you know it): 28 weeks

Boy/Girl/Team green: Girl

Symptoms: Carpal tunnel and sciatica creeping back in now that I have been slacking in doing yoga

Appointments/milestones: Oral GTT test on Wednesday. A sort of milestone, I noticed I could see her moving from the outside yesterday.

Questions/comments:
My shower invites were delivered, and we've been getting hilarious phone calls from relatives about their reactions to them. Reactions because they were sent from a friends address in a not black area of town, so it caused confusion- "I don't know anyone in C****@$#, what is this about?" until they opened it.

I prefer a hot breakfast always. I make the resolution to eat more cold things to save time all the time but never stick with it because its just not appealing to me. My favorite is an egg sandwich with egg, meat, cheese, and veggies. I'm so glad it didn't make me sick to my stomach like my morning coffee did. Hot tea is an okay substitute but it's not the same.

Week/Fruit (if you know it): 30 weeks. Sweet mother of god this is getting real.

Boy/Girl/Team green: team pink!

Symptoms: can't get comfy at night, but other than that I really can't complain right now!

Appointments/milestones: passed my glucose test last week, and I've been bumped up from once a month to every other week appointments! all my baby classes are coming up next month too!

Questions/comments: totally starting to hit panic mode here! Baby is going to be here sooner than I can blink, and I have so much non-baby-related stuff to accomplish before she gets here! The biggie is handling a couple final requirements so I can get my nursing school application in by April 1. This is also my last week at my current job. Yikes!!!!

My favorite breakfast is a muffin, but I can't always justify eating what is essentially cake for breakfast. If I can't have a muffin, then it's an anything goes situation. Always have to have my coffee in the morning though- hot coffee when it's cold, iced coffee when it's hot. Sometimes yogurt, sometimes eggs, sometimes cereal, sometimes oatmeal, sometimes a bagel, sometimes just a bowl of fruit, sometimes just my coffee!

Ee, that breakfast rotation definitely will keep food boredom at bay. I hope everything goes smoothly with your application to nursing school!


I didn't think about appointments either- mine will be moving to twice a week after Wednesday. I also start a 6 week birthing class on Tuesday. I feel like it's snowballing now- I just was waiting around twiddling my thumbs then BAM all this stuff to do before baby comes.

Thank you! So far the nursing school application has NOT been going smoothly due to lots of difficulty try to use credits from my BA to try to clear some of the pre-reqs. It's been such an unbelievably annoying and difficult-for-no-reason kind of process. So ready to be done worrying about it. 

These babies are totally sneaking up on us!! Hopefully your birthing class is fun. I wanted to do a birthing class to try and make some friends with other expecting parents, but couldn't work it into my schedule. So I'm a little jealous!!

Week/Fruit (if you know it): 30 wks/Cucumber

Boy/Girl/Team green: Girl!

Symptoms: None really. I mean last night I had a hard time catching my breath, just sitting on the couch.

Appointments/milestones: I have an appointment on Friday

If I can, I like Hot. But sometimes I just don't have the time to make it. This morning I had cereal...I was starving as soon as I woke up so I needed a quick fix!

That sounds awful. I hate when there are tedious hoops to jump through and the rules for the tedium aren't clearly drawn out.

I consider myself lucky with classes, I was worried about cost and schedule. Then my schedule conflict was resolved. We have a lady here who opened a business awhile back called the perinatal education center with very reasonably priced classes, so it worked out well.

Week/Fruit (if you know it): 27 weeks/not sure about fruit. Rutabaga??

Boy/Girl/Team green: Green

Symptoms: some pretty intense rib pain especially on my left side.

Appointments/milestones:I have an appt this week and move into biweekly appts. Also the end of my 2nd trimester.

Questions/comments: none this week

GTKY: This is obviously a very serious question- do you like a cold breakfast i.e. cereal, yogurt, smoothies, etc. or do you prefer a hot breakfast i.e. eggs, oatmeal, pancakes, etc.? If you have a reason why throw it in there too. I didn't really realize I had a preference until I started thinking about what I eat/want for breakfast. Im pretty sure I prefer cold since I love cereal, smoothies, and yogurt with granola or fruit.

We've got a few glucose tests this week! Good luck, @cmadamscook and @bearvg. I'll be thinking about you when I'm taking my test.

Mmmmmm, @lalalady54 a breakfast burrito sounds amazing. I haven't made my chorizo breakfast burrito in a very long while. I should do that next weekend.

[hellok2010]

Week/Fruit: 30 weeks, cucumber (which I find an odd comparison) or summer cantaloupe depending on where you look

Boy/Girl/Team Green: girl

Symptoms: I'm getting out of breath incredibly easy, and it really sucks. When reading a picture book at home or school I feel like I'm huffing and puffing halfway through and I'm just sitting there. She's also been punching/kicking down low which has created some fun pains. Nesting has definitely set in at work. I've been cleaning out file cabinets and obsessively working on lesson plans to take me through the rest of the year.

GTKY: I definitely prefer hot breakfast. I used to eat a lot of yogurt and granola for breakfast but got really burnt out on it.

[chemmom1]

Week: 29 acorn squash
Symptoms: not too bad, my sciatica has let up. Just general exhaustion and some back pain.
Appointments: none this week, but last week I failed my 1 hr glucose, passed my 3 hour, and had an ultrasound. Baby is measuring right on track and almost 3 pounds! DS Had growth issues, so that's good news .

Breakfast: when I'm pregnant, cereal does not last long enough through the day. Nowadays I eat frozen breakfast burritos .

[seventythree]

Week/Fruit (if you know it): 29 weeks

Boy/Girl/Team green: team green!

Symptoms: Aside from the usual stuff (fatigue, pain), new this week are varicose veins! Blah.

Appointments/milestones: Nothing this week

Questions/comments: Everything is getting so close! Less than a month until my shower, and my next OB appointment will be at a 2-week interval.

GTKY: Hot breakfast all the way! The reality is that most mornings I eat cereal out of convenience - especially these days, because it's the quickest thing to prepare - but if someone else was preparing the food it would be hot breakfast every day.
