I just got a glider with ottoman for $30 off our local facebook buy/sell/trade group!! it has a stain on the ottoman but everything else is perfect. beats the $250-$400 they want in store! woohoo

ETA if you have facebook you should look into joining the buy/sell/trade or online garage sale groups that are local to you. just put in your city and then buy/sell/trade in the search and it should pop up

@mrscrcalli I rocked my footed fleece onesie last night.  It was so awesome! DH even pulled out his footed pajamas to sleep in

Some people put a robe on I put my onsie on.. It's like being on bed under the covers all day! There's no reason babies should all the fun!

Where do you get these!?!?

DH got them for me at Target!!

I want to finish the nursery today, but it's too cold to open a window so DH said no way! I'm bored, feeling useless, restless, and cranky. I need a hobby!!

25 week appointment this morning. Everything is going great! I am averaging about a 1lb gain a week, I have no idea how much I have gained, I don't look at the scale, the Dr. didn't mention a number, just said I'm doing great. My blood pressure was normal and the uterus is measuring about 2 weeks ahead. Next appointment is in 4 weeks and I'll have an ultrasound to check on growth. One of the biggest risks of being Diabetic is baby getting too big which can result in stillbirth, so I'll be having ultrasounds every two weeks after that as well as non stress tests done in the hospital. Told me to still plan on an April 10th c-section date unless her health or mine is at risk.

Shit is getting real now!

Feeling extremely emotional tonight. I don't know if it was the dramatic day at work or my hormones or my DH's withdrawn mood. I just feel like busting into tears and I don't even know why exactly. Hate this feeling!

That was me pretty much all weekend. *Hugs*

So the crazy dreams are back.  First night I was being chased by some guy that wanted to kill me and I kept escaping, running through random backyards to try to lose him.  Last night a plane exploded in the sky above me and I was running from falling airplane debris.  So, apparently running from things is my theme...what's my deep-seeded issue here?

Holy shit, I have had that airplane explosion dream.

By the time I catch up reading all of the posts I missed, I can never remember what I wanted to respond to. Hugs to you ladies who are having rough days. I'm hungry, so I think it's time for a bowl of cereal!

What kind of cereal? I have been in love with cereal lately, but we're all out of milk.

I can't get enough cereal lately. My current obsession is frosted mini wheats with a banana. Bought 2 more boxes this morning.

Too much Donnie Darko!

I've been absent a while. In addition to both DH and I having jobs, we also own our own business, which has been doing well lately, but taking up a lot of time. 

I feel really guilty, I took off work yesterday and now today too. My reasoning was being sick. In addition to a cold and disgusting cough that I've had lingering for a month, I now have hand, foot and mouth too.  I feel like the gross kid, and just want a day to get healthy, even though I don't feel too bad, other than the sores hurting.

I'm going to sign up for prenatal yoga to lower stress, I can't wait to get started. 

Mamamonzo

Is this going to be my life?

eireyes

@Bees Everywhere I totally recommend the prenatal yoga!  DH signed me up for a six week class for Christmas, and I had the first one on Sunday.  Kicked my lazy behind, but I did feel better about myself and life in general afterward.  I'm already considering signing up for another six-weeker after this one is done!

To continue tooting DH's horn, the man really has been a lifesaver these past few months, picking up my slack.  We started laundry last night, and I passed out on the couch waiting to swap loads/watching football. DH finished both loads of laundry and let me sleep until it was time to go upstairs to bed.  Today he put the FedEx slip (that I signed and forgot was on the inside of the door) on the outside of front door so our package could be delivered. He's probably done more that I don't realize, and I'm sure I always focus on the one or two things he doesn't do, but he really is a good man and I need to make sure to tell him more often!

Random question before I finish reading the thread: Is Pepto safe to take? Cuz chewing tums makes me sick now, but I'm struggling with some random really bad heartburn.

I base everything I know off this https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/2012/05/10-over-the-counter-drugs-to-avoid-during-pregnancy/index.htm

And it says no.

Only if you are going to be a perverted and lazy breastfeeder. Those are the ones who co-sleep. Duh.

michaelad3

Sorry Colleen looks like a no, but maybe try Zantac since you don't have to chew it, or tums makes soft chews now which might be more tolerable

I was such a good "sleep-habit" former when I had a newborn, that my DS actually refuses to sleep in our bed.  Even on those nights when he is sick and won't sleep and we so badly just want to lie down and go back to bed, DS will not get in our bed.

My DS is the same and it's so frustrating some days. Some nights/mornings I would love to snuggle in bed but he refuses.

fireflygirl12

I'm taking DS to get his hair cut today. It's $24+tip. Kids are expensive.

I can't believe people are expecting in September! It seems like I just got my BFP!

Stace0616

I haaaate FTM nerves! Seriously freaking out about my follow up anatomy scan on Thursday. I can feel baby moving, and even though the official report is that my fat obscured the results, I remember the ultrasound tech pointing out all four heart chambers and the kidneys (things the test said they couldn't see).

I feel like I've spent this entire pregnancy on pins and needles waiting for someone to tell me this baby thing isn't going to happen. Gah! When did I turn into such a pessimist??

@fireflygirl12

Took me a minute to make the connection! At first I was like "what crawled up her ass!?!?"

A "mini shower" aka a shower for your second or so child. It's not that serious to rename it. LOL.

I still can't l even explain how excited I am that DH said I could go ahead and get the BOB Dualie from amazon. And even more excited that the deal sold out and is now even more money than it usually is. Today is so full of win. Also, I took a Pepcid and then had some cereal with milk to try and cope with the heartburn. Gonna have to get some of these soft chews you guys are talking about. So friggen tired of baby shower threads. Do. Whatever. You. Want. Random internet strangers should have no bearing on these decisions considering THEY WONT BE THERE.

I hate you a little bit for getting the last Duallie. 

But I still love you overall

@colleenswerb you can also try drinking something acidic. A lot of times when you take an antacid it just makes you produce more acid. If you drink something acidic your stomach doesn't need to produce more so it helps.
