@ecwk I felt a foot or a fist early yesterday morning. A definitive bump through my skin- you can definitely have baby poking you that hard. I am quite overweight and can feel things like that (quite amazing) so I'm sure yours could be the same
And I know it's almost 1am, but I FINALLY got my video! I managed a 10 second clip but you can see a big difference between my breathing and the 1 movement I caught. I go to bed early so when baby wakes me up I can enjoy the feels rather than be grumpy about being kept awake .
Enjoy your private baby time- it won't be long and we'll have to share lol!

@ecwk With me the kicks definitely get to a point where they hurt and are really uncomfortable. That's usually the last few weeks though. I find what has always bothered me more than anything is this very full and always short of breath feeling. But again, that's the last few weeks too. As a ftm, I was always more happy to feel the baby whenever I could than be aggravated lol. Subsequent pregnancies, while I still get happy and excited, I get a lot more impatient near the end.

yeah I thought strong kicks would be when baby is much bigger. I'm definitely not aggravated, I adore feeling movements, I was just puzzled by this one as it was so so strong compared to others. Unfortunately I already feel increased breathlessness, which I'm sure will only get worse. It's so annoying when singing because I can't hold notes as long as I used to be able to!!
Wish me luck ladies, Im taking a huge test this morning that could mean bug things for my career (not just my current job). I'm a little nervous since two of these classes I took for this certification happened 3 years ago.
DS1 - 9/21/11
DS2 - 7/4/14
DS3 - 2/21/16 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our family of 5 is complete!! Love our boys!
@ecwk Yes, the breathlessness is absolutely annoying but it's worth it for sure Not sure if it works for everyone but I've figured out that when I get really breathless if I hold at least my left arm above my head it really helps me be able to take a few deep breaths to feel better. I'm generally the weird looking pregnant woman standing there with both of my arms in the air trying to get a good breath lol. <img src="https://media0.giphy.com/media/BevFutOGVh5FS/giphy.gif"> ETA I don't know if the super cute gif came up because tb won't leave this app alone grrrr

@kynbar5 haha, don't worry, we all have our tricks, what works works Pregnancy is a free pass to be a little weird anyway, let your pregnancy freak flag fly lol. Thanks for the tip, that's what my midwife said too, I'll have to try it. I notice I feel worse if I sit in a slouching position. It's also worse after I eat but we all know that ain't gonna stop!
Today is going to be a long day- and tomorrow even longer just because they set up my ultrasound at 2:30 tomorrow! I have an appointment at 3:30 for my injection tomorrow which is why they did it...but I HATE WAITING!!! Praying to GOD we can see if its a boy or girl...we already know its healthy from the last a/s- now we are just monitoring for position change, plancenta movement, and cervical length. And get a profile shot- that is the one shot the tech couldn't get the last time.

I am so grateful that DH is home but he's making me so tired. He stays up on his phone and I'm a very light sleeper. Once he decides to go to bed his tossing and turning wakes me up. He snores all night and wiggles around and it's making me nuts. How do people deal with this when their babies are born? I am so freaking tired I can't even imagine. He was being a jerk about me wanting to go to bed at 9 last night and I'm like maybe if I got some sleep it wouldn't be an issue.
Good Luck tomorrow @flowerpower5838 and @Charley15. We have our A/S tomorrow too :-) I already know that they checked some things out when we fell down the stairs, but still nervous and praying for a healthy baby. We are going to have them write down the gender and take it immediately to the Ice Cream Store so they can make our Gender Reveal Cake for Thanksgiving Dinner. So excited for Thanksgiving on so many levels.

@SarahFoley725 I feel your pain. My husband recently started snoring. I've gone from nicely nudging him (as soon as he changes position it stops) to full on elbow to whatever body part is closest. I may or may not have done it a little too hard a few times and pretended I didn't know or "accidentally" jerked in my sleep.

@bntfroggie I can't wait to hear how the surprise turns out! My appointment isn't until 6 tomorrow so it's going to be a loooonggg day. Eeekkk so excited to hear if baby cooperates @charley15!
Lol, I feel you to. My family is all fighting a stubborn cold still. Last night, for the 3rd night in a row, Dh decides to take night quil at midnight and then tells me "I'm going to sleep good luck". Then he is out for the night. He likes to encourage dh to stay up with him usually and even though he is only 2, he is normally up till midnight, but with his cold his sleep schedule is really messed up. So when dh says good luck, what he really means is 'I'm going to bed while drugged so don't bother trying to wake me. But we both know it will be hours yet before ds goes to sleep.' Last night ds fell asleep at 9 and I thought he would sleep all night. I lay down at 930 knowing my alarm was set for 6am, and at 10 ds wakes up and refuses to go back to sleep, no matter how hard I tried. So I passed him to dh and went back to sleep for half an hour, then dh came in with his bit, and I was up till 3am with ds, before he finally fell asleep. The thing that sucks with us, Dh is a heavy sleeper and can fall asleep anywhere. So when he is tired, I can't trust him with ds anyway. I have come in the house, or woken up from a nap, with dh asleep and ds doing something he shouldn't be. That has happened several times, until I just gave in and realized dh would be no go when tired.
How is one supposed to appear professional and work-appropriate when the boob itch is OUT OF CONTROL??? It's almost comical. Counting my lucky stars that my desk faces a corner today.
That's awesome advice, @kynbar5, I'm going to have to try that next time I get out of breath (which is more often than I'd like to admit these days).
I think I was the one pissing off the spouse last night, I was up until 1 reading my new book...couldn't put it down. Oh well!
The bad news is I drove to work this morning with the bottom 5 inches of my duster sweater hanging out of my car in a rain storm...just a bit soggy. Good news is my boss brought in some old school candies so I had a (or a few) cow tails with my coffee. YUM!
So, I love feeling my baby's kicks. But last night they were straight up painful. Take a chill pill little man, plenty of time to practice your karate while I'm not sleeping.
@2goofykids little girl hasn't kicked hard enough to wake me up or keep me from sleeping but she did cause some major heart burn at about 4 this morning. I felt like a dragon.
Naming kids with my DH is torture. I have a name that I am in love with. I wish he would just either say no he doesn't like it or yes lets go with it. I told him a few weeks ago to think about it a few days and get back to me. Are we taking if off the list? Pretty sure he never even thought about it. I am not sure why he thinks its only my job to come up with names. I kinda feel like I found a name I like and I don't really want to keep looking so if you do then you need to make a list of names you like. First suggestion he has ever come up with after trying to name two kids. Shane. Not in love with it. I just told him I don't really care for it so he texts back fine just pick a name then. So annoying. I wish he would r at least contribute some names.
Waiting in the waiting room... I may have accidentally knocked my urine sample into the sink. Took me like a whole 5 minutes to work up another one. Now just waiting cause the sono room is backlogged a little...
I'm getting irritated at EVERYONE today lol. I have had 2-3 phone calls from this one lady claiming to be my copier maintenance, and she can't get it through her thick head that she is NOT my copier contractor! She asked me to be transferred to a library I DON'T have and I had to tell her that 3 TIMES. Then she tells me my bill is past due and she needs the meter reading off this copier that is NOT HERE. I transferred her to the program director. You would think if you have done business with this school you would know we DON'T have a library here, and I gave her the two main buildings' phone numbers. I'm just an extension site. 10 classrooms, a nurse, a gym, a social worker, and ONE COPY MACHINE. If she calls me back I'm going to lose my shit!
February Siggy Challenge- Post pregnancy indulgences
ohhhh my gosh. I'm in a local mom group on Facebook and this girl is legitimately asking how to make her baby come early after her doctor told her she'll most likely go full term.
Her due date isn't to her liking because her husband may have to be out of town. I'm just like What. The. Hell
Hahahahaaa you guys are hilarious! I haven't peed on my hand yet but as I get bigger it can only get more difficult! Anyone want to grade some tests for me....??
@charley15 I can't stand stupid people at the best of times, right now it's unbearable.
@SarahFoley725 People are so irritating. That bugs me as does the "They say my baby is 91st percentile, what can I do to make sure he's smaller so delivery doesn't hurt as bad? LOL!" I can't stand those people. 1. Delivery is going to hurt no matter the size of the baby. 2. NOTHING, so stop asking!!! GRR.
Hahahahaaa you guys are hilarious! I haven't peed on my hand yet but as I get bigger it can only get more difficult!

Short answer or multiple choice? I'm down for multiple choice. What grade do you teach again?

You can all calm down and chill out now. I know each and every one of you were as stressed as I was. JK, JK.
So the bleeding I had, and will likely continue to have, was caused by the baby. I haven't gained much weight after losing 14 pounds since I got pregnant, and essentially baby had a growth spurt, got himself stuck in a position he didn't like, and kicked and ruptured a blood vessel that happened to leak from my cervix. I've been informed that I need to gain more weight and fairly quickly to add some extra room and padding, because my lovely son is measuring BIG. We're talking melon head here, people. He's bulky.
We also have an appointment with a specialist on the 18th to check on the likelihood of phyloric stenosis, which DH had at birth.
So all in all, good news! Well, not good news for my comfort. But I'll make that sacrifice if it means a good and healthy baby d:
@2goofykids I'm glad it was good news! The awesome news in there is that now you can splurge and eat everything you want and legitimately be able to say "the baby really needs this!"

cheaters suck!! If you're cheating at races you suck even more! When you get caught cheating by race officials do NOT use me as a "witness" because we're in the same run club and you think I'll lie for you! I'm so upset my run club president didn't stand up for me when a cheater got mad at me for not backing up her lie and because I was honest. This cheater claims she saw me at mile 10 by the time chip mat. She told them she was trying to go say hi to me and that's how she "accidentally" missed the mat. I told race officials I never waddled (back hurts) my way down to mile 10 and never saw this cheater the ENTIRE time I was at the event. Logically, race officials disqualified her time. So she's been bad mouthing me about how I was at that mile marker because I have pics of my friend at that distance. Ummm, yes I have pics of my friend standing by that mile marker because her 15 year old son ran over there and took the picture. I was sitting by the finish line. There is no way I could run to mile 10 at this point. I just can't. This person got disqualified from the Chicago marathon for the exact same reason. She was caught off course by race officials (and in a CAB!!!), she missed time mats...but somehow I'm the bad guy? Super bummed... This couch potato thing is starting to be much more appealing...
