Just requested my transcript from my University. When asked why (not sure why they need to know) the girl laughed and said "for REAL!??". Everyone I've told thinks its hilarious. I mean, the NSA probably knows all about my discharge/pooping habits/eating habits from this board, and all about my distaste for certain conductors of classical music from Facebook. You would think the United States could figure out if I lived in the country for 5 consecutive years or not.
Just made an appt for a new ob/gyn..am I crazy? Haven't been happy with the one I've had..I've been missing my old dr, but he was a perintalogist and did regular ob/gyn care. This past week though when I was worried about pre term contractions, which I'm at a very high risk for pre term labor, no one seemed concerned. There are 4 drs and a midwife in the practice, and I really don't think that half of them have ever looked in my chart and seen all my medical problems. Hoping this one is better..
There are 95 old people ahead of me in line. I have to get my blood drawn within the next 30 min. This place doesn't take appointments. Hoping I make it....
Also- my feet started swelling last night. I know I'm getting to the point where it's "normal" (28w) but it's still stressing me out.

OK, opinions. I know, vaccinations, UGH. TDAP is not normally given here to mothers in their third trimester. My midwife said she had never heard of it being done. They have at most one case a year here, but, part of me just wants to get it anyway to be extra safe. Should I just ask for it at my next appointment?? When do you guys normally get it??

They told me to get it on the early side of my third trimester, instead of later in the third trimester.
OK, my next appointment is at 28 weeks. I probably have to go to my regular doctor to do it since its not standard practice, so, I'll just decide to do that sometime next week or the week after :-)
GTT complete. I got cut in line by another pregnant lady doing her 3 hour. I cried my eyes out at the poke. So nervous that I'll fail and have to do the 3. The thought of having 5 draws in a row makes me want to pass out.
DH took me to Starbucks after, then dropped me off at work. I'll be useless for the rest of the day...

I was convinced that I would fail. So was my dr. There is a ton of diabetes on both sides of my family and he thought that would make me more likely to have GD. But I passed! Fingers crossed for you that it all went well!

I cried too! I cry every time I get my blood drawn. I have tattoos and no one understands that it's not the same! The nurse rolled her eyes at me.

The lady that draws blood always raises her eye brows at me cause I tense up and look away. No matter how many times she sees me she ask "and how many tattoos do you have"? I answer...not enough!
We have been SUPER busy at work. I haven't been able to keep up like I usually do. Finally decided I should just take lunch since there was no way we'd get the list of students down to a manageable number in the foreseeable future. foot long meatball from subway mmm
June Siggy Challenge My little Princess BFP#2 7/28/13 EDD 4/9/14 Birthday : 4/10/14 Adalyn Nanette
I have 2 weeks to find a gift for the friend hosting my sprinkle. She is a major dog lover, always has a foster dog in addition to her 2 dogs (small dogs), and does a lot of rescue work. I was thinking something etsy style, like dog beds for her 2 dogs that are personalized. But they have to arrive by the end of January.
Any suggestions?!
Do scarves, personalized dog collars/leashes or something along those lines. I think a nice dog themed gift basket with all kinds of dog accessories/toys/goodies would be nice. I'd also add in something for her that isn't dog related.
@jellysparkles I think I'd rather take a bear in this case too! I don't think it could've sneaked into bed with us as easily.
Haha @dani do you mean The Scorpion King? I just checked though - no sign of The Rock here!
Is that what it's called? All I know is Brendan Fraser is a terrible actor and Canada's awful contribution to Hollywood. But we made it up to you guys with Justin Bieb-wait.
Okay Avril Lavign....no.
Keanu Reeves...shit.
@dani+california You LITERALLY just listed off all of my least favorite people in Hollywood. Grrrrr. It's a good thing I LOVE me some Bryan Adams.

Ok this is NBR... I keep finding my 2 yr old DD with her hands down her pants and/or making humping jesters. Is this common or something I should be worried about? I know they reach a stage of curiosity, I am just worried she has seen something she shouldn't have. I don't remember my 14 yr old DD going through this.
A supervisor in my office just offered me a free dresser/changing table. I'm so excited! We don't have one yet and have been trying to figure things out since they are so expensive. Weight lifted
I did that on my lunch break once, and I was so happy I was at target because I didn't have time to go home and just bought new underwear and pants. My students never noticed.

ColleenSwerb Thank you, I find her laying somewhere quiet and doing this. Usually it is us at home. I just wasn't sure what to think, she is usually at daycare but has been home this last week, I wasn't sure if she was getting this from other kids or what.
Stomach sleepers: just read this in my handy dandy "Guide to Pregnancy" cheat-sheet style book my OB published and have to me:
"You may sleep on your back until the third trimester as long as you're comfortable. When your uterus is large enough to compress your major blood vessels causing hypotension (low blood pressure), you will become nauseous and dizzy. Placing a pillow under one hip should prevent these symptoms. You may sleep on either your left or right side. Sleeping on your abdomen does not harm the baby and can be continued as long as comfortable"

I'm freaking out!!! I have college orientation all day this Friday!!! But I'm not frealing out for any normal reason; not because I'm finally going back to shool after six years, not because I don't know how I'll juggle this with being a new mom, or what all these life changes will mean for my career. I'm not freaking out because after this DH and I have to sit down and have a REAL conversation about what the next three years is going to look like for us. Nope. I'm freaking out because I am absolutely convinced that something is wrong with my paperwork (honestly, at this school, kind of par for the course. Their admissions office is a mess.) and that I'm going to show up and they're not going to let me in. Just let me go back to school! I wanna FINALLY finish my education!!!

I just painted a second coat and the outer boarders of the bottom half of the nursery. This is going to take for freaking ever to finish and we pretty much have to repaint all of the trim white again, as well as some spots on the ceiling. The previous owners painted the room this ugly peach/ orange color and they did a shitty job so there are spots to cover. I wish I could just pay someone to finish it!
We have a realtor coming tonight to check out our house and give us an idea on price and any ideas for improvements, but this means the house needs to be clean. Including our secret rooms we never use EXCEPT to store everything to make our house appear clean when normal people come. Isn't everyone allowed one junk room in their house? I want to cry because I feel like we are disgusting people and I'm mortified just thinking about her (or anyone ever) seeing it, but seriously-there is nowhere to put it. It's boxes, and junk that is trash but won't fit in our trash bin so there are literally zero places for it to go. =((

I just cleaned out our garage because at first the nursery was the "junk" room and then I moved it all to the garage. I broke down all the boxes and stuffed the trash in the trash can, then took all of it to a recycling center. It really made the garage look a lot better.
Or maybe you could get some storage bins to use instead of the boxes and then stack them neatly. That way it looks "cleaner" and more organized.

It's totally not the same!! I get the same eyerolls because I'm literally covered (sleeves, hands, neck, chest, next to my eyes) but my nurse now totally gets that I'm not being dramatic, that I have a vasovagal (sp?) response and its not the same and there's nothing I can do about it but tell them beforehand they need to lay me down. One more reason I love my OB's office.
Sooo I'm backed in to a parking spot hanging out in my car until class starts and across from me there's another car backed in with two people in it with the windows rolled up having a serious make out session. It's so awkward because i feel like every time I look forward they'll think I'm staring at them. Hopefully they think no one can see them.
Am I the only weirdo not out buying tons of clothes and such for my baby? Cuz I have bought only one outfit so far, mainly cuz I have been given sooooo many hand me downs for her. It's not that I'm not excited, I just keep thinking of all the other things I need to have before buying the fun stuff.
I was the same way with my son. I got sooooo many handmedowns, and I still buy a ton of stuff from the baby consignment store. I am going to splurge on a new take home outfit for this baby since everything else will probably come from his brother.

I have only bought two onesies. I'm waiting till after my shower to see what I get there.
