Friday (for real!) Check-In

MrsL2B

Happy Friday! How is it treating you so far? Do you have anything to rant or rave about?

If you weren't expecting a baby right now, how would that change your plans for this fall?

Today I am good so far! Although DH is working all weekend so I am bummed but trying not to project it on him. He is doing it to make extra contacts, extra money for baby. But my argument is that when baby comes, he isn't going to wish he had worked more - he will wish we had spent more time together the two of us/doing things we won't be able to do as easily with baby. I hope the project goes quickly but it could take three weekends - basically the rest of my summer off.

We would be going on a big vaca. This is the first year we haven't done a big trip - actually London maybe?!?! But I am happy to have baby instead and do London as an anniversary trip sometime in the future.

I'm definitely going to be exhausted today. I got up at midnight to pee and checked my blood sugar to see how I was doing. It was 240, two hours after my pre-bedtime snack and a couple of units of insulin. I rolled my eyes and went back to sleep. But it was 244 at 2:00 when I got up to pee again, and this time I was pissed off, so I couldn't fall back asleep. I bumped a little, drank lots of water. I checked again at 4:00, and it was 185 (better, at least), but I was starving, so I took the dog on a two-mile walk then had a light breakfast of protein and fiber with two units of insulin, although I should have used only one per my doc's instructions for dosing. And two hours after breakfast my blood sugar was 188. So I guess I'll call the MFM about this nonsense this morning, because this dose doesn't seem to be cutting the mustard. Now it's time to go to work and struggle to hold my eyes open all day. The dog was completely zonked out shortly after our walk. Lucky dog.

I'd probably be helping my mom clean out her house full of 30 years of accumulated stuff this summer and move this fall. Glad I dodged that bullet!

I am feeling pretty good. I got to "sleep in" today because someone is coming to look at our carpet to see if we can get it replaced (long story). Sleeping in makes me happy!

If I weren't having a baby in the fall probably the only thing that would change is I would be working. We don't usually do much exciting in the fall!

The fact that it is friday is making me very excited!  I'm beyond exhausted.  I'm going home after work and moving maybe one or two boxes out of the nursery, then just chilling.  I plan to sleep in tomorrow.   

If you weren't expecting a baby right now, how would that change your plans for this fall?  We would be going to Cape Cod with DH's family, but A. we don't want to spend the money (even though it is a fairly inexpensive trip) and B. we are usually there the first week in October and I wouldn't want to chance being on vacation when Nemo decides to make her grand appearance.

So happy to have made it to Friday! I do have a rant today. .. walked about 2 miles on a site visit for work yesterday. Now my right hip is killing me! Just aches, and really hurts when I go to stand up. I don't know what to do about it! Any suggestions?
If I want pregnant, I think we would have planned a trip back home to Colorado this fall. I haven't been back in almost a year, and miss my parents. But when we go back we also visit the in laws and that has always been stressful for me.

Happy Friday!  I am doing pretty well.  I've been sleeping better since I started putting a pillow between my knees so I think that's helped a lot with my hip pain and even RLP.

If we weren't expecting a baby we would still be moving (in 4 weeks! ah!) but I would be looking for a job in the new city.  I think we might have tried to do a vacation in August when my husband has two weeks off between jobs.  It would be great to go overseas again...but I much prefer a baby

Feeling good today! So far feeling rested and ready to take on the day (hoping this holds up, by the time I am done with lunch I am ready for a nap lately) Just damn happy it is Friday!

This is an interesting one.... I would surprise DH with a trip to Vegas or something. He is itching to go and get away, but of course that will not be happening.  I would also be traveling more for work.  We would probably be doing a lot if we weren't expecting.

I'm feeling exhausted today and have been all week! I haven't changed anything-still going to bed and waking up at the same time, but I've been more tired than I've been in a long time! Also this week, it feels like the baby is treating my body like a punching bag. At first it was kinda cute because we could see my belly moving, but now I'm getting sore from all the punching on my insides. I'm getting excited for my 3d/4d ultrasound next week to get to really see the baby

If I wasn't pregnant, I don't think anything would be different and I wouldn't be planning anything for the fall, other than the nice weather we get in Florida after summer finally goes away!

Good DD is with my family at knoebels for the day, i haven't had a day to myself for months or I don't even know how long it's been... I'm RAVING about the fact i'm getting my hair highlighted/lowlighted... I haven't done this for years crossing my fingers i'll like it. I've dyed my hair for a long time but won't do it because of the LO in my belly too many chemicals touching my head. 

If you weren't expecting a baby right now, how would that change your plans for this fall? probably head to SC for a football game. maybe next year.

So glad that Friday is almost over.  I normally can check the Bump a few times during the work day, but it is 4 pm and this is the first time I have been able to spare a minute to check the boards.  Super crazy at work due to a major technology change (that was only half tested before they implemented it) but hopefully it will get better next week.  

If you weren't expecting a baby right now, how would that change your plans for this fall?  We would also be taking a big trip/cruise in the fall.  We had gotten into the habit of taking our major vacation around our anniversary (October).  We didn't get one in last year due to all of the infertility treatments and obviously, this year's big trip will be to the hospital.

Friday's been good! My DD had her one year shots and was so good, she cried of course but not nearly as much as the other little girl before her. And now Im on my way to meet a friend at a food truck festival. Its the first time I've gone out without DD or SO since April. Feels weird.

We would also be using the baby budget on going on a trip somewhere. I really wanted to go on roadtrip down the oregon/california coast this summer.
