Cake for breakfast. Whoops?

Why whoops? Eggs and milk are in cake... It's perfectly acceptable breakfast food!

What do hiccups feel like? I keep getting a very rhythmic tap on my right side. It's so constant and fast it seems like it would be impossible for it to be hiccups. If it is, my poor child can't catch a break!

Yup! That's what they feel like

@fourthnlast & @eireyes, hope you get some good answers at your appointments today! Will be thinking of you...

And all you sick ladies, feel better ASAP!! Being pregnant is uncomfortable enough!

Speaking of movements, the baby was moving very strangely last night. Almost as if he was shaking or something. I had a mild panic attack thinking he was having a seizure or something. Has anyone else felt this before?

My baby spazes out sometimes too. I think they just get really fidgety in there trying to make themselves comfortable and the fact that there isn't quite as much space for them to make big movements doesn't help. 

It happens about once a night while I'm sleeping and usually wakes me up.

Glad you posted this. Baby A does this some times. It feels like a little earthquake or something? I wanted to google it but then I didn't want to google it. Now that I know it's not just me I might...

Ok I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Happy Monday ladies!! Finally going to catch up on some RTT from the weekend. 

Fresh Brazilian and a Seahawks Super Bowl win = great beginning to the week in this house!!

I've decided I'm just going to stop reading the weekly updates about my pregnancy because it seems like when I read about something that could happen to me, it does. It's like I look at it and I'm like "nah, I won't get any hemmroids" and them BAM! I have a fucking hemi.

Motha fucka

I have a friend who registered her baby for his first birthday. Kohls for clothes target for "everyday items" she keeps reminding people in facebook. I find this incredibly annoying and tacky. Do people really register for birthdays now or is she just a super special snowflake?

Stace0616

Wtf that is weird! Is she going to register every single birthday? Whatever happened to just shooting an email to your family with a few gift ideas?

I suppose it doesn't hurt only if you're not parading it around and only share the info if people ask. Ex: my family lives far away and wanted yo know what to get DH and I for Christmas so we made registries on amazon and target. Since a lot of what we received was clothing, this gave them a good idea on our size/style. But they ASKED for it, so that seems very different than what that chick is doing.

Not only is it a little tacky to register for birthdays, but even more so that she is continuously reminding people on Facebook. Yuck. Delete.

Tacky that she keeps posting it on facebook. I can understand something like a wish list if the invited parties wanted ideas of what to get kiddo...but don't go advertising it.

My OB used to have 2 waiting rooms but they recently remodled and now they just have one room. It is always pretty much standing room only. Who had this bright idea!? They are always packed. I didn't have time for breakfast this morning. Seriously thinking of going to Cracker Barrell after my appointment and chowing down on some sausage and bacon.

If you call ahead you can get it to go and have it ready when you arrive. Then you can stuff your face in the car!!

there's a birthday registry link on amazon and I thought it was odd. I  guess I could see registering for yourself just to get the discounts but telling people about it... and continually reminding them...very tacky!

Just had placenta previa follow up US and the tech said it moved. (Happy dance) my CNM friend just gave us our L&D tour and will be delivering my baby, SCORE!

I love stuffing my face in the car. There's something about eating in the car that allows you to just let go and shovel the food in your face like a true barbarian. Completely different from eating alone at home and definitely different from eating alone in public.

@deidremaria - YAY! Happy dance indeed!!

You know what is the best, too?  When none of the men with their pregnant wives get up and offer you their seat.  I would kill mine if he didn't do that.  This happened to me once but thankfully there was another waiting room that was offered to me.

@deidremaria AWESOME!

You're totally gonna kick ass for that delivery.

I'm having too much fun with my belly (at work, no less).  Peanut decided to stick his (I think) head as hard as he could out of my stomach, so I decided to tap him back to see if he'd back up.  Nope, instead he taps back! I love this little stinker  :x

KatieGummow

Mamamonzodeidremaria, thanks for your confidence!  Me oh my we are all in for quite the adventure, aren't we!

deidremaria

We sure are, Katie. At the US I saw baby's whole face and it reminded me that I've got 9 fucking weeks. I'm cramming right now

So I guess the Little Lady has decided to change positions.... the need to pee (or at least the feeling) is about to drive me crazy. Takes 20 minutes to get comfortable no matter where I am sitting then Wham! that feeling again... Please 10 weeks please hurry along...

Stace0616

I don't know why I'm a little excited (because it means I need to make better choices), but I gained 6lbs since my last appointment.  First gain of my pregnancy after two weeks of wanting to eat/sleep all of the time, and I'm measuring larger too.  Gives me a lot of reassurance that things are going in the right direction with the baby and that I was right about his growth spurt!  

Now, I just need to take it easy on these cookies!

Question. Is it bad that I don't eat when I'm hungry? The only time I do this is when my husband wakes up in the morning before 7, and if I stay awake long enough, I get hungry. I know if I get up to eat something, I'll be up for another 2 or 3 hours before I go back to sleep, and honestly, I'd rather just sleep!

I've been reading about some of y'all getting midnight cravings or waking up hungry at random hours, and it makes me feel guilty that I don't satisfy my hunger when I feel it. I just want to make sure I'm not doing anything to harm my baby's growth. :-S

Sometimes, if its in the middle of the night, I try to drink some water first. I figure my bladder will give me longer sleep than my instant heartburn. I doubt you are doing any harm :-)

Working on getting the templates ready for my next 2 months of staff schedules and realized I won't even be here for the last week that I'm doing! Woohoo! February is my last month of full days every day, then cutting back to mostly half days in march until the 21.

"everyday items"? Like she's not capable by now of providing things like bubble bath, snacks, and diapers for her soon-to-be toddler? I've heard of a birthday registry for toys because I received emails from BRU when DS was approaching his 1st bday to do something like this, but I think it was more to keep grandparents and friends on track as far as developmental toys vs really loud obnoxious ones or ones that were "oh so cute" but clearly made for children of a much older age - it was more of a list than a true registry...but this "everyday items" thing has got me scratching my head. Your friend sounds gift grabby and it's not even for her!

I think my boobs grew two sizes over night. I keep feeling them and every single time I'm amazed.

I think I need to spray out my sinuses tonight. I have a lot of pressure behind one eye and it keeps watering. It doesn't hurt at all, but, its just weird. Anyone have this before??

As a fellow "bigger mama" I sympathize with the fear of not gaining and the excitement of actually putting something on! I had my 30 week appointment last Wednesday, and I still haven't gained a thing...NOTHING! I've fluctuated between gaining and losing the same 2 lbs since the beginning of the pregnancy. This time I was back up 4oz.

My OB says that at my size I really don't need to gain at all, but then we compared my weight from last pregnancy and this one, and by now in my last pregnancy, I'd gained 6lbs overall. So to be on the safe side, she's ordered a growth scan U/S for my next appointment,since it's so hard to tell from the outside whether or not this baby is actually getting any bigger. I'm irrationally nervous cause I know she's ok, I just can't help but fear that I'm not doing enough... Somebody (figuratively) talk me off of this ledge!

Woohoo! I am also planning things for work that I won't be here for. It's strange, but exciting!

@deidremaria yay great news, congrats!

Why does a female bathroom attendant in a busy office of over 2000 associates have to announce the arrival of herself and make you scream, "I'm
In here in 1 of the 10 stalls in this bathroom" just so she can add paper towels to the dispenser. I swear were on the same schedule or I'm just always in the bathroom...

chichi589

@SLSchuerg I wouldn't think so! Sleeps important for baby too!
