I just wanted to say thank you to which ever of you lovely ladies suggested drinking apple juice to help with constipation issues. It works wonders for me! Not sure if its the juice helping move things along, or the fact that for an hour after drinking it baby re-enacts Bruce Lee fight scenes and kicks the crap (literally, lol) out of me. But it works!

You are welcome I discovered it when I was trying to fight off a gall bladder attack - now it's just my go-to remedy

Here's my AW for the weekend in picture - DS1 singing up on stage with all the kids at church.  Seriously made me bawl.  (yellow arrow is him)

Yep - they did a gym/stage combo.  It's huge (500 people a service).

skruhmin

Yup

• Which one got shut down now?
  

My oldest just had her first real school concert, so I have to AW her cheesing for the camera. She's wearing Santa pajama dress that she swore no one would know was pajamas. And she walked about it all afternoon, "no one is even going to know they're pajamas!" Except that as soon as we arrived she blurted out in front of the whole class "I'M WEARING PAJAMAS!!" lol

And jus to be fair, a photo of my youngest doing he monkey bars with daddy.

The boyfriend vent fish smell one got shut down

I imagine there will be a few more shortly. A good "guess my baby's gender" one is hopping right now on the 2nd tri board.

skruhmin

The "my boyfriend made fish" thread.  Womp womp.

Admins don't like fun that's why!

It's my last Monday of working. This was sitting for me and baby under the tree. I'm not going to cry, I'm not going to cry. I'm definitely going to freaking cry

Ok that's precious.  I'm not going to cry.  I'm not going to cry...

Whew. I am beat y'all. Appt went good but now I'm even more nervous about how fast this little guy will decide to make his arrival when I do go into labor. Baby is healthy and growing great but "head down and ready to go" as doctor put it! With the fact that all of mine have actually stayed longer or right on with the previous I'm just hoping this one doesn't break that cycle haha. Also, I'm a little sad because I have to get my glucose test done at some point this week so I gotta lay off the donuts lol.

skruhmin

Really?!? You couldn't look 2 lines down???

@flowerpower5838 that Monday gif is hilarious!!

I'm at home chilling out, didn't hear about my glucose test which I did on Friday so hoping that's good news...

I have to go back to school at six for 2.5 hours of PT conferences whyyyyyyy on a Monday?!?

Hope you're all well. Loving the birth/labour stories!!

SarahFoley725

@kynbar5 can't baby still flip back and forth a lot? At my AS they said she was head down but that doesn't mean anything yet haha. Granted that was 7 weeks ago. Maybe he's just chilling like that today?

You were way nice.  Maybe it's because it's Monday but my patience is thin today.

Mmmmm, donuts. Mine is most certainly not head down because I've had a rhythmic beat being pounded out against my cervix all day. And most of yesterday.

Mine was head down at my anatomy scan, and I'm pretty sure they are still head down.  I say this because when the kid has hiccups I feel it in my vagina ha ha just rhythmic beats.

Anyone figure out a way to just skip to March?  I would love to just skip all of third trimester.

Y'all I can't catch a break over here. First we had the food allergies, then I had contractions for a while Saturday night which eventually settled down, then today DS fell and hit his forehead on the hinge of the coat closet and was gushing blood. We just left urgent care after getting it glued back together. Tomorrow is his 3 hour allergy test and appointment. I want to cry.

Hon I'm sorry.  Things happen in 3s - hopefully you're done with suck for a while. 

Stormiewinter

@kynbar5 congrats on the good appointment.

@charley15 sorry you are going through such a rough time. Hang in there!

Ds only slept 5 hours last night. Which means I only got about 3. We are in survival mode here people. I haven't had a decent night in days. That being said came home to find that Mil had washed all the dishes and tidied the kitchen and I am just so thankful for that. Going to bed as soon as Ds goes down for the night.

I hope that was the 3rd and we are done. I have my glucose test next week. If I fail that too I am going to lose my mind. What a cruel joke that we can't drink while pregnant.

Hang in there @jmathi0149

STMs, when do you think you grew the most? Third tri? Because the way I feel now, I don't know how I can get a whole trimester bigger!!!!

I've been feeling that way the past few days.  Like seriously stretched to the max.  And I know it's just going to get worse.  Just think baby has about 6+/- pounds to put on between now and then and 5 +/- more inches.  Oy!

I feel like I grew the most between 28-32/33 weeks last time.

kitteh81

Definitely grew the most during the 3rd trimester. Definitely in denial about how much bigger and more uncomfortable I'm going to get.

ecwk

Aw crap I was worried you guys were going to say something like that. I don't mind getting bigger, I just honestly can't fathom it!!

skruhmin

I just asked a friend of mine who just had twins in August how she fit 2 babies in there - and she made it to 35 weeks!

Yes, they can. However, mine tend to stay down once they've flipped. I think it really just scared me because he's already pretty low and my doctor made a comment about probably needing to keep an eye on that

mrspepper05

Oh yeah, I definitely grow the most in 3rd tri. I get to the point where I think, "No way can I get any bigger" . . . and then I do! There's this lovely thing called stretch marks that allows your skin to rip open and make more room. :-(

Speaking of that - I just noticed I'm getting more - on top of my other ones.  How is this possible?!?
