How Far Along Are You? 30w tomorrow!! YAY I FINALLY MAADE ITTTTT.

What's Up Physically This Week? i'm currently sick. some sort of sore throat. i can't tell if its allergies or a cold. i need to go get some benedryl at some point this morning. back still killing.

What's Up Emotionally & Mentally This Week? missing "home" still. the hurricane has been kind of emotionally taxing on me. i have a very special connection to Crystal Beach, TX--which is on the Bolivar Peninsula on the east side of where the storm hit. I found an aerial picture of our summer beach house..or I should say, where our summer beach house USED to be. Its just sad to me that Elliot will never know the island the way I've known it.

Random Things Of Note? my doctor gave me a referral to physical therapy but i have to wait until her office calls ME. i somehow feel like this just won't happen this week and its almost like i'm testing them. i swear i don't know why i don't just switch doctors. :\

oh, i should also note---my aunt was a peach and just bought me over $100 in maternity clothes as a "birthday" present for me. (my birthday is in 2wks) but the old navy in my area doesn't have maternity clothes so i ended up ordering it all online (the jeans i really wanted were only online order anyway)...i'm just hoping and praying that everything fits!!

How Far Along Are You? 34 weeks

What's Up Physically This Week? Tiiirreedd, and I've been having really bad sciatica pain :( Luckily, the heartburn has worn off (a bit). Oh, and OMG ITCHY BELLY. My new stretchmarks (boo, I was hoping to just reuse the ones from last time!) are SO brutally itchy. It makes me crazy.

What's Up Emotionally & Mentally This Week? Getting very very anxious. I'm also very nesty... though most of my "big things" are done (yay)!

What Are You Reading - Books, Magazines, Web Sites? Nothing pregnancy-related.

Random Things Of Note? We casted my belly yesterday! It was so much fun and it looks REALLY cool. I can't wait until it's dry enough to decorate!

How Far Along Are You? 31 weeks today!
What's Up Physically This Week?
+ I started lactating really lightly a couple weeks ago, but only out of one boob. We call my boobs "Grumpy" (the angry one) and "Sneezy" (the lactating one) now.
+ Every once in a while, the outside of my right thigh goes numb (while I'm walking or standing!). I was scared and called around, and mentioned it at an appointment. The ideas are that I should be doing back exercises, and/or that baby is sitting on a nerve. Still it's weird!
+ I seem to have suddenly conjured an allergy to something in latex and nitrile gloves. I break out in an itchy bumpy rash when I wear them-- but I have to for my job (at a lab). My husband and I bought vinyl gloves from the store last night, and I really hope they work!
What's Up Emotionally & Mentally This Week? Feeling like these last few weeks will go on forever! Also hoping that my nesting instinct takes over sooner than later. I could really use it, but so far, nothing.

The outside of your right thigh going numb is probably from a pinched nerve or something of the sort. I have 8 disc herniation in my back and I used to get that ALL the time...Super annoying!

My boobs have been lactating a little recently too! Its kind of funny/odd to me!

[khep]

I'm not sure-- on one hand I think it's my back tweaking out (because I have a ink on that side), but at the same time-- once it went away directly after the baby moved around a bit. I'm thinking a little of column A, a little of column B ;)

I don't know that I'll ever be able to wrap my head around the idea of my boobs creating a meal/beverage. It's too mind-boggling.

I <3 Mothering so much. Our Bradley teacher introduced it to us when I was about 4 months pregnant with our first and I've been subscribing ever since - so eight and a half years! I have quite a collection. :)

How Far Along Are You? 30 weeks today! Yay! :)

What's Up Physically This Week? My back and legs usually ache first thing in the morning but other than that, i'm doing good :)

What's Up Emotionally & Mentally This Week? I've been nesting for the past 2 days! I've been cleaning everything like crazy and getting the room ready and reorganized. (My daughters will be sharing a room)

What Are You Reading - Books, Magazines, Web Sites? The usual- LJ, myspace, cafemom, and my emails from babycenter and babygaga

Random Things Of Note? Well, we changed the name we picked out! We are going to name her Alexa instead of Isabella. And also, my daughter Liliana turns 1 in exactly 10 days! (Ahh..where did the time go?!)

[turtleohs]

Alexa is absolutely adorable.

How Far Along Are You? 33 weeks 4 days

[thirdtimecharmd]

I am the same way re: food, except I have about 20 different aversions on top of my disinterest!

[grubbyfeet]

Oh well yah. And what's fun is that they change by the minute for me. One minute I will think I want something and then I will smell it, taste it, think about it, and then want to throw up. It's great.

BTW I loove your icon! LOL
