Just drank my drink and feeling major nauseous. Hoping I don't puke all over the place. It wasn't bad, its just not wanting to go down

The first few sips I was like "oh this isn't bad!" As I got to the end it was a struggle. DH made fun of me the whole time.

Anyone else at the point where laying on your side makes it go numb? Was hoping I had a few more weeks before that started...

This is our giant nursery! The color is pewter. The chaise will stay and the shelf the tv is on will stay (the tv won't). Furniture is getting added as we are able to pick it up from mom's house.

@kefttsc holy crap that's a huge room. Are the rest of the rooms in your house that big too?

Can I move in?

kefttsc

@michelle142 the nursery is almost 20 x 30 and yes all the rooms are GIANT.  The french doors open onto an upstairs deck.

We have two master bedrooms (one upstairs and one downstairs).  It was a custom home for an older couple, built in 1993.  It is a really funky layout, but we LOVE the giant rooms.

@kefttsc‌ I think you could fit our entire house into that nursery! I love the big windows.

LOL I'd prefer to clean YOUR house then.  We can't keep up with this one.

I love that space!

Our family room is 14' x 25' (same goes for the kitchen/dining space), but other than that the rooms in our house are pretty average size.

@kismetjess... yep!! which sucks since belly sleeping is impossible, and back sleeping is not recommended. I suppose I should turn into a bat for a few weeks.

@chickenhawke‌ so I don't know who else watches The Newsroom but I know you do and I watched it last night.... So freaking good! As always! And so much in the last 10 minutes!! Here's so hoping Sorkin doesn't crawl into a big hole and leave us without another amazing, witty, thought provoking show for too long...

@kefttsc‌ geeze louise that room is massive! Perfect for twins!

I had the orange and I was preparing myself for a lot worse but it was still pretty nasty.

Ahhhhh I forgot it started again!! Thank goodness we just got HBO back--remind me to stream it this week!!!

FX for everyone doing the glucose test. I have not heard back about the results of mine. I am assuming no news is good news. 

I had a dream about JJ Watt last night. It was glorious. The end.

@erobbins09 I havent started this season yet... (hadnt realized it was back on). But I think its one of the most unrated shows. I love The Newsroom. And I loved how the story lines were so recognizable during those current seasons.

@MapleMomma‌ I will be sending T&P your way.

Uh, I have already watched it twice. The last line was CLASSIC Sorkin and I freaked out. I feel like this season will be him just doing his thing! 

My DREAM would be to see he and Thomas Schlamme collaborate again. 

ETA: I am also looking forward to the Steve Jobs movie that Sorkin is working on. 

ALL OF THIS! Sorkin's shows are pretty much always underrated or at least under supported by the masses but that's also part of the love I think... You have to be educated, and aware of the world both the big things and the subtle things to get the beauty of his work... I'm sure it's a little elitist because he really does always had a "wtf middle America?!" Attitude but it's just always so.. Apropos.

Absolutely.  When I am on my sides, my hips go numb.  When I'm on my back even for my ultrasounds, I get nauseated.  I fell asleep before 8 PM last night and didn't wake up until 5 AM to pee.  What lovely sleep, but what horrible pain when I tried to move!  I like the idea of turning into a bat!

Just booked my GD test for Thursday. Now I should try to be good and refrain from eating too much carbs til then. I'm really nervous and am almost convinced I already have it just cos my mum had it and later became diabetic. My doctor is having me skip the 1 hr screening altoghether , going straight to the longer test. I wonder if that juice would be way worse on the nasty scale...

Going for a swim... Bump later!

DDs are blowing raspberries on my belly, and Sakura seems to be enjoying it. They're going to be great big sisters.

Sorry about the nightmare, @psychobutthead‌. Sometimes it can be so unsettling even though we know it's just a dream. I've got to stop watching The Walking Dead right before bed. Been dreaming about zombie attacks since I started watching season 4.

Happy Veterans Day ladies...especially to those of you who served or who are wives of military men.

DH is home mapping out his restaurant tour for the day. He takes full advantage of the free meal given to Vets. 

Hehe DH was telling me last night about all the various freebies he can get today, including free beer at this awesome brewery restaurant, Gordon Biersch. I want their beer-battered fish and garlic fries so bad!!!

krendel1990 said:

Um she just told me that she ate a huge cinnamon muffin and chocolate milk for breakfast. What if we both fail and I have to sit with her for 3 hours!?!

Yikes no wonder the baby is kicking the ish outta her! So sorry you have to wait in there with her...FX you pass!!! GL to the rest of the mamas taking the test today, too.

I've never had the pleasure of trying their soft pretzels, but now I would like to remedy that. Hmmm maybe I can convince DH to bring some GB home.

Good luck to everyone who has their GTT today!

We woke up to it sleeting outside and a little bit of snow on the ground. It's going to be a rough winter.

I had my 26 week appointment today. Baby is still breech. I know I have time, but my first two had flipped by now, so it's making me a little nervous. DH and I also decided that we're going to wait until baby girl is born to decide on her name. We have a short list, but anyone who knows me will know that this is not my style. I am a planner. I told him we at least have to have middle names decided for each name. Picking both out in the hospital is too much.  

kerrigrooves

good luck to all those doing the GD tests...I got my results back yesterday and passed, YAY!

slept like sh*t last night, its sooooo freakin cold in CO, high of 15 today and 10 tomorrow....brrrrr

day 4 of potty training, took DD to daycare, hope it works out!!

My baby girl is breech, too. Hoping she flips, but if I have to have a RCS, it's not too huge of a deal since I know what to expect. Hope yours flips for you!

I went to DD's veterans day program.

Left her school and fell in the road. I have no idea how or why I fell but in an effort to not hit my stomach i put my hands straight out.

I managed to avoid the baby getting hit during the fall. My hands are skinned up and my knee is messed up and hurts like a bitch.

I'm at work and I'm tempted to leave. I'm in too much pain to really do the crap I'm suppose to do today plus my campus needs to set up for our veterans day program.

fuck why did I have to fall.

Also MIL went to the program with the twins. I spent the majority of it wrestling one of them while people kept staring at me. I'm assuming seeing me with twins and then a fresh baby bump didn't give them nice opinions of me.

I just left my ob appointment. I am measuring right on track but when they listened to the heart it was dropping a beat. They had me schedule an appointment with a high risk ob to get a sonogram. I was able to get in next Thursday. They told me no more caffeine until after the sonogram. Fx everything is ok with Zoe. Things like this make me so worried

kismetjess

@Paleomama...T&P everything is ok!

Fx! I am sure everything will be okay. Just take care!

@kefttsc Holy nursery size, our's is tiny like we can barely fit everything in it.

@ckimberley14  Question for a twin mom (sorry to pick your brain),  Target is having a baby walker on sale for black  friday, I was planning to stop in and see if they had some,  If they do, should I get 1 or 2?  I know a lot of people say they can share but if it is easier to just have 2 should I just grab another?

My random is I think I am going to look for some fabric to make crib skirts and curtains today.

You guys, I think I might cry. I just broke the scale. Literally. I stepped on it and it cracked. I called my husband crying and made him promise to never bring it up again, but the big fat pregnant chick just broke the fucking scale. FWIW, it was 8 years old and didn't have the accurate weight on it anyway, I just use it to see if I'm staying consistent. I feel like such an ass.

Now to go drown my sorrows in a bowl of ice cream, because I'm not already enough of a cliche today.

It would be even better if he plans it out by crawling through bushes like he was doing the other day. ) ... And mission impossible playing in the background.

Awww, @CatLadyTX I'm sure it was just old and brittle, no way did you just up and break a scale. Go eat that ice cream girl.

That is exactly it. It cracked right along the plastic part because it is a cheap, old scale. Actually, I. Think it might have moved to TX with me, so it is probably older than 8.
