Beverly Hills, that's where I want to be (Tuesday Random)

I can't believe there isn't a random thread yet. So I will make it and also torture you with the song that is stuck in my head.

    Thanks @Coozieinmypurse, this song will totally be stuck in my head all day! :)

    For all my heartburn sufferers out there, anyone having ear pain?? Yesterday by the end of the day, my ears were SO sore. I looked it up, and apparently if your acid reflux is high enough in your esophagus, it can somehow get into the tube that connects your ears to your throat. Worst. Pain. Ever.

    Oh, wow... That sounds terrible! Are you taking anything? I've had really good luck with OB-approved Prilosec. When I don't take it I want to rip my chest out.
  • There are painters here finishing up some stuff that we couldn't do (like trim). I feel so weird when people are working on the house. What am I supposed to do? It feels wrong just sitting here watching TV.

  • @douces06 - when my heartburn is really bad it makes my teeth hurt. Weird.

  • I have pretty crappy heart burn too. I've tried all the over the counter stuff and it helps a little. What has helped me the most is not drinking anything when I eat, no spicy foods and not drinking water laying in bed (when I wake up in the middle of the night). May not help you guys but wanted to share.

  • Good Morning Ladies!

    So I'm slightly spazzing out because over the last day or so, I am fairly confident that LO has dropped! 

    I have the "lightening" (I told H last night "I don't feel as pregnant. Do I look as pregnant?"), I have the punches/kicks to the vag/butt. I have the near-constant urge to pee (even after I go, as soon as I stand up, I feel like I have to pee again due to all the pressure)...

    luckily, I also have an OB appt today at 1:30. So I'll have them feel around and tell me what's up, but in my googling I've found that if she's dropped AND engaged, they'll likely put me BACK on bed rest until I go in to Labor. (Noo! My SIL finally planned my baby shower!)

    So wish me luck- I'll keep y'all updated. =)

    OH also- Happy Tuesday to everyone! It's almost the New Year!

  • Is anyone else getting a bunch of blankets made for their lo? I have 3 or 4 coming still. My mom kept my blanket from when I came home from the adoption agency and my grandma before she passed made a blanket for each grandchild so our children would have a blanket made by her. My sil gave me one not sure where or who made it. I appreciate all the time spent by everyone making them I just wanted to see.
    My mom made a crib quilt, mostly out of her old dresses (like before-I-was-born old) and MIL crocheted a blanket. That's all I expect, but you never know what the more crafty people in your family/friends circle might turn up at the shower.

    Good morning ladies!

    I feel like my house is a complete disaster and just want to start cleaning and nesting. H is constantly trying to push me to rest/relax which sounds great but then nothing is getting accomplished. We undecorated the Xmas tree last night, and I'm hoping he has the living room cleaned up by the time I get home from work. (He actually offered to clean up the fallen pine needles and throw the tree outside.)

    @jennypm‌ the lovetit was for commiseration. XH and I have had such a difficult time getting his name off the house that I'm keeping. (It was in both our names.) The whole process has been ridiculous, but after nearly 2 years we're in the final stages of having it complete.

    Edit: spelling
  • I've decided to continue working on a knitted baby blanket that I started 3 years ago originally planned for a friend. It's pink, and it'll be a great gift for my daughter. I have more motivation to finish it now and each week I'm closer to having her here.

    I keep having issues with either organs or her going inside my right side of ribs. Anyone else?

    Hope you all are having a lovely day!

  • I failed my glucose tolerance test :(( Now I guess on to the 3 hour soon. With DD I failed the 1 hour and passed my 3 hour so hopefully that is the case here!

  • Two of my colleagues are at work today and they should not be. Both are coughing and the snot is flowing. One is even nauseous and throwing up once in a while.

    We are extremely short staffed due to holiday vacations. But... c'mon! It's not worth spreading your grossness to those around you.

    Just praying my flu shot and some extra vitamin c keep the germs away :((

  • Well, I went home last night and took some benadryl and passed out. I feel a little better today, except the crap seems to have moved into my chest and now I'm coughing and my throat hurts from it.

    Love being sick. At least I could breathe when I woke up this morning.
  • @MalVough I think we should be allowed to throat punch people who do that. A co-worker of mine came in yesterday with the FLU. And she was all up in the kitchen- using the same water dispenser as everyone else. Touching the stack of styrofoam cups, all the while saying "Y'all should stay away from me! I'm sick!" ... I straight up told her "It's YOU who should stay away from us. GO HOME."

    Luckily, she is not in the office today. :P

    So we are touring our hospital tonight and I thought I had all my questions ready. Then someone brought up something about vitamin K shots and eye goop...

    I don't know anything about that. What do I need to ask/know about this stuff?

    Be my Google! :wink:

    I found this on Pinterest and found it informative.

    I was reading that even anti-vacs choose to get the Vit K shot. Something to do with potential issues after baby is born vaginally. The eye goop, I have read, is not necessary and was planning to add to my birth plan to not receive. I used to have a reason ... (but can't recall it now).

    Edit: I may have been wrong. Many anti vaccs are apparently passing on this, too, even though it's not a vaccine.

    Here's a good article: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/more-parents-nixing-anti-bleeding-shots-for-their-newborns/
  • @lawsonellis‌ FX the baby just shifted.

    @Peledreamsofrain‌ GL today!

    @megaugust10‌ My MIL made 2 cross-stitch blankets for LO. (She asked me and H to pick out a blanket design about 2 years ago so she'd be prepared when we had our baby.)

    @saltyfins - I just read a GREAT article written by doctors on 10 things you should decide or the hospital will decide for you. Both of the things you mentioned are in there- its gives you pros and cons of each, when they're necessary, and why you might want to opt out:


    It's pretty awesome. I'd recommend checking it out! It's what I used to help formulate my birth plan.
  • @Peledreamsofrain‌ and @lawsonellis‌ hope your appointments go well today! @megaugust10 I know im getting at least two homemade blankets from friends/family, and I will most likely end up making one myself as well.

  • @jennypm‌ That's just awful. I hope everything gets taken care of for you. It has to be such a headache to deal with that bs after he originally could have had the re-fi done earlier. Ugh

    I know at our hospital, they told us it is required by law for them to put the antibiotic ointment on baby's eyes when they are born. Like, they could get sued if they don't do it. As far as the Vitamin K shot, I'm not sure about that.
  • Now that I know we are having a boy, I'm going through DD's clothes and selling/donating what is too small. It's bittersweet to say the least.

    And the furniture for the baby is being delivered today (was a surprise Christmas gift from my parents!) but we haven't cleaned out the bedroom yet, it's literally full of stuff. I'm stressing out because we have to keep the furniture in the garage until we get the room cleared out. We weren't planning on getting furniture so soon so we are not prepared at all!

  • I think I also remember reading that breast milk could be squirted into the babies eyes, instead of the goop. Need to re-read all the stuff I read before, now. Can't believe I forgot all of this!

    (And I swear I read today that breast milk could be used on diaper rash, as well?!)

  • @jennypm‌ - I'm so sorry about your XH. Even though my parents are married I grew up in a household kind of like that - and it turns out there was a lot of weirdness that happened that I am still struggling with that I could never talk about when I was younger - and am still nervous to talk about now.

    My sister is the same way with her girls - she forbids them to talk about certain things with anyone - especially their father. My sister's new H is verbally abusive to the girls and they are terrified to tell anyone. It's a culture of secrets and lies and I can tell its impacting the older one - she is scared to talk to anyone. And the younger one gets in trouble almost every time she talks to me. I don't have any advice - I'm just sorry you and your girls have to deal with that.

    @darbie914 - sorry about the numbness. The splints help a little - but no longer work that well for me. If anything I have found that working on the computer is the only way to get a little relief. Also - donut holes for heartburn and reflux -not kidding. Don't know why but it works for me.

  • @megaugust10‌ - I'm interested - what else can a breast pump be used for besides pumping if you get it early?

    I'm not able to get mine until 1m before the due date. I have requested it - but it won't ship to me until Feb.

    I've read a couple of birth stories about people using the pump to stimulate contractions. I have no idea if that actually works, though.
