It gave me diarrhea...sorry TMI 

To everyone that is wondering about how they felt after drinking: I really don't think that any reaction is an indication how how your test will come out. Every time I've taken it, it's made me feel sick, heart race and I've crashed after...yet I've passed it each time. Try not to look to much into how you felt while you while you had 10 oz of pure sugar running though you body

These dreams are out of control. Spent all night (well the 5 hours I get in between shifts) dreaming I was possessed by a demon and I kept screaming trying to get it out of me. I am sooo tired. Feel like I've literally been in a physical fight all night instead of sleeping. I shouldn't have eaten before I got into bed - prob that and the stupid Devils Due preview that keeps showing up everywhere. Going to be a looooong day at work

I seriously hate nights like that. I had a night with aliens a few weeks ago that left me exhausted.

After my emotional afternoon, I had a really great night. 

The company DH works for invited all the employees and spouses out for a really nice dinner and bowling after. He works for a rather small company (16 people total) that has had an awesome year so they wanted to celebrate and it was really nice getting to know everyone more. They really are like a family and I'm so happy he works there. Also, can we say adult time! Heck yes!

Also, we passed through Target to pass some time before dinner since we were early and found the Snugga Money swing for $100! Sore!

Off to Sundance for the weekend!

My male coworker who I am meeting there is very concerned about me being pregnant and traveling alone. "Will you be too squished on the plane?" It's kind of endearing.

Just catching up and am so happy to hear that Fiona's surgery was a success!

I had a dream last night that I was a CIA agent and was still doing too secret missions at 9 mo pregnant. Got made in some 3rd world country and thrown in their jail and went into labor there.

Visiting my family in CT this weekend. I am happy to see everyone, but I am most excited about using my dad's very large air jet bathtub! Complete submersion=bliss!

If anyone can send some good thoughts my way today, please do! I own a cheerleading gym and we have 4 teams competing today and tomorrow at our biggest Nationals. I'm a nervous wreck. Can't sleep, can't eat, imagining everything going wrong... I think I might barf. Any good juju would be nice.

Also, some parents are mad because other parents are drinking and I can't even be upset cause I want a drink too... Wahhhhh!

Good luck!! I cheered through college and coached after that. Cheer Moms can be crazy!!!

I think DH is nesting... I woke up and got ready for breakfast and he's in the baby's room dusting the furniture and organizing all the crap that needs to be washed. It's kind of cute, but annoying because I'm starving

@jennypenny1014, she is a doll, that sweet baby girl of yours!! Cutes-pa-toots!!

Which one of the aden and anias blankets are the soft ones? Muslim or the bamboo?

Are these the ones that are super soft or the scratchy ones? I'm hoping the soft because they're perfect for my friend.

Fun filled day of cleaning through every room in the house and garage and making trips to the dump! Not the most fun day but I know I'll feel good when it's done and all is fresh and clean.

The only ones I hear people complain about (re: scratchy) are the ones that are sold by Target (they are manufactured separate from the "boutique" / original ones). FWIW, we have muslin and bamboo and they are both lovely! The bamboo is softer, but it is also a bit more slippery, so I preferred to swaddle with the muslin and use the bamboo ones as car seat / stroller covers, blanket for tummy time, nursing cover, etc.

I despise being on call for work. I just want to curl up on the couch in my pajamas but instead I'm driving around in the snow seeing clients. (

J&NL

Thanks @Acaawkward!

Sitting down on the couch with the jar of Nutella was a bad idea - at least I brought some apple slices along too!

MrsL13

Going to a friends baby shower today! I will know all of 3 people including her. The other 2 I haven't seen in 3 years. This should be fun and a little awkward. Haha

SeattleMomma

So I woke up today to some bleeding but no discomfort or cramping. I'm waiting for my doctor to call me back now. I had some pretty serious bleeding with my second son and he's just fine. I guess, it's a waiting game now.

I JUST came across a recipe on Pinterest last night for Nutella "fudgesicles" where you mix a cup of milk with 1/3 cup of Nutella and freeze in popsicle molds.  I will DEFINITELY be trying it this weekend!  

All I've been wanting with any frequency is really cold stuff--ice cream, popsicles, ice cubes, etc.  I've been alternating between orange juice and apple cider popsicles, so this will be a nice way to mix it up

snmetz7

@seattlemomma ((hugs)) hope your dr gets back to you quickly and that it's nothing serious. Keep us posted

Aww. I'm jealous. All my DH seems to care about lately is his music. Sometimes I think he completely forgets that we're even having a baby until I bring it up.  :-<

Umm, please share - I NEED this!

So I'm going to be annoying and ask a baby shower question. I want to preface this by saying, I am not one of those crazies that takes all this baby shower stuff too seriously. I am very laid back and honestly would've been fine without having a shower. Having said that, I am very thankful that my Mom and MIL want to have a shower for me. So anyway, for those having showers, how involved have you all been in planning your showers?

My Mom and MIL want to keep me involved in everything- choosing decorations, games, etc. I know that they just want to make me happy. I just keep telling them that I trust their judgement, but they keep calling me about every little detail and honestly, it's starting to stress me out a bit.

We have a new washer!!!!! YAY FIL

katieharpiceland

Bought our crib today and a new closet. The prospect of getting the old closet out and the new closet in really annoys me. hehehe...luckily, I'm not in the position to do any heavy lifting. :-D

Also Ikea on Saturdays is a horrible place. If they weren't having a sale, I would have waited until I go on leave next month. 

pineconey

We just found and used the best homemade pancake recipe!!! DH made it all by himself. So tasty!

jennypenny1014

Oh my. With the way my sciatica has been this pregnancy, the mere thought of having to walk through that gigantic warehouse of a store gives me anxiety. I really need to go to IKEA though and get some storage solutions for our office-turned-storage-unit, cause we're running out of room!

My back was KILLING me and we still HAD to go to grocery store after because we had nothing. Actually, if we had just bought the stuff and left I wouldn't have been so bad but the closet is huge so we had to have it sent here. That took FOR-EV-ER! They had two guys working in the returns/home delivery department ON A SATURDAY!! And I was about to murder this lady that kept cutting in line in front of me because she wanted to get a screw for this stool. She did it twice, even though they have a machine where you take numbers and her number was after mine. Seriously almost TP'd her. 

On that note, I'm getting cranky again. I was not cranky at all since like, 12 weeks. Now, the crank is BACK!

@hvmom2b If DH accused me of napping, he would probably be right! I-) Late second tri has been killing my energy. Most of my day is spent cleaning, packing, and taking care of DD but there is always a nap in there somewhere... Often during the same time DH gets his lunch break so I am sure he's onto me!

@seattlemomma I really hope everything is okay! I hope you get an answer soon.

mrscrcalli

@Bluebird2318 i must watch Lion King this weekend….Scar you dirty little bitch you taunt me!

katieharpiceland

I nap almost everyday. No shame!! 

J&NL

I wish I could nap. My body does not let me! 

On another note, who ever posted that recipe for the natural body scrub, I LOVE IT. I finally finished it today because I bought some lavender EO yesterday and it smells so good, as well as make my skin feel so soft. I'm hoping this might help my dry skin issue. 

Stace0616

Oh god.  I've started watching "Extreme Couponing"... someone help me!

TMI...So the last time I was at the OB, I had the hardest time peeing in the cup. Effen peed all over my hands. I don't remember it being this difficult when I was prego with DS. Then again, that was 6 years ago. My brain has been a bit scrambled since then. Not sure what's gonna happen at my 32 week apt.

Bluebird2318

@mrscrcalli You definitely have to! There's always a good reason to watch The Lion King!

I am but I'm probably only gonna post one pic when LO is born. Idk why but I've been so private about my pregnancy. I FINALLY announced on social media at like 21 weeks and it wasn't a planned production like most lol. I already have my whole family the "if you dare post a pic of my baby before all the gunk is wiped off I'll kill you" speech.
