26 weeks tomorrow!

99 days to my due date!! And now I have the song stuck in my head which makes me want a beer sooooooo badly. Next appt is glucose test in 10 days. Still battling severe heartburn & nausea. I think I've actually lost weight since my last appointment, which bothers me at this point. I'm trying to eat but maybe 1/3 of it is staying down. Starting to feel D.O.N.E. done with this. Come on June!

QOTW: I went to Target this morning to buy a birthday present for a party DS is going to. I also left with Oreos, popsicles, & two kinds of potato chips. I had a good laugh in the check out line with the clerk and the mom behind me about the dangers of shopping while knocked up.

Weeks/fruit: 25 - cauliflower

Symptoms/appointments/milestones: had my 24 wk appt on the 2nd and it was eventful - there was blood in my urine sample so they sent it out for additional testing, waiting for results. My OB gave me a really hard time about my weight gain...thanks for that! Hoping the next one is calmer (3/30). My glucose test is on the 21st, praying that the nasty drink doesn't kick my IBS up and I can keep it down (and to pass, of course!).

QOTW: I'm obsessed with stalking maternity and baby photos! I have a whole file of poses I want for my shoots and am probably driving my photographer crazy!

Weeks: 25. LO is the size of a cauliflower!

Appointments/symptoms/milestones: no appointments scheduled for a few weeks. LO is very active and has been keeping me up at night. Symptoms have mostly remained the same- hips and legs are hurting, and I'm just generally achy. I have noticed a difference in how much food I feel like I can eat, and how deeply I can breathe- I definitely felt like things are squished- it's hard to get through dinner! And I am winded so much more easily.

QOTW: friends/family have started buying things from our registries, and I am so addicted/obsessed with checking it all the time to see what has been purchased. I know it kind of ruins the surprise, but I just can't help myself! Our LO is going to have some great stuff!

Week #26 - head of lettuce

Next appt is on Wednesday and I find out if I passed my glucose test. I failed with my first and had to take the 3 hour one, and it was awful. My levels on my last draw were so low that my OB said I was probably some degree of hypoglycemic. So I am holding my breath and trying not to be anxious!

No exciting symptoms to speak of. My pelvis is starting to hurt in the mornings and I was thinking about bringing out my between the legs wedge pillow, but haven't yet.

Something random? Hmm. I play the piano?
I had a dream last night that I was practically due and the baby was transverse or breech or something and the doctors were all scaring me with the complications and such. I woke up in such a tizzy! Weirdo dreams is one of my least favorite pregnancy symptoms- I get some really bizarre and scary ones!

Weeks: 25 - cauliflower!
Symptoms: Baby is having fun in there. Including kicking straight down - being kicked in the vagina from the inside is a really weird feeling!! I'm ok symptom wise - heartburn and some back aches but over all ok.
QOTW: My office is full of pregnant ladies - 3 have had their babies since Jan 1 and there are 4 of us left. So far all babies have been born on their due date or two weeks early. One more due in March and then - my turn! Getting nervous.

26 weeks yesterday: Head of lettuce!

Symptoms are the usual; heartburn and bad SPD. I noticed my feet are starting to swell a little in the evenings now. My next appointment is still a couple weeks off.

My random is that I really want nachos. I don't have that many cravings, but this one is super strong. I was hoping to get them today, but H isn't feeling well, so we ended up not going out like we usually do for for Sunday Lupper (tea time?). I'm already planning to compensate by having an extra serving of ice cream and Girl Scout cookies after DD is in bed.

25 weeks/cauliflower.

I had to postpone my GTT and 24w appt that was scheduled for last week until 3/19 due to a sick DS1.

Random (qnd symptoms related too). I've spent the weekend in Miami with 12 of our best friends from DH's residency (DH was the only one of us who couldn't go! . )

we walked everywhere. My ankles and feet are swelling. Eek. It was a blast though.

The random is that two of the other wives announced pregnancies this weekend, one of them with twins due in September! By the end of the year, there will be 9 babies in our group, and hopefully there will be 3 more pregnant ladies on top of that! What a great year for us!
