@SarahFoley725 when i went on thursday it was my final 4 week appt and they asked me if i remember the hospital set-up and where i need to go, if there was any numbness, how was my sleeping, how active is baby. I didn't have any questions at the time, but if i hadn't recently been to the hospital they would have set me up with a visit and walk through.
Holy tears, batman! Ds1 loves feeling baby move. Today he hugged my belly and whispered to my belly, "I love you baby Isaac". He's so excited about this baby. He was 2 when I was pregnant with DS2 so he didn't really get it but this one is just special.

Awwww, @skruhmin! Aren't they sweet?! Last night my son says "Mommy, do you think Malcolm is sick since you are?" Totally melted my heart. He was patting my belly the whole time, very concerned about his baby brother being congested.
So I have a neighborhood cookie exchange tonight at one of the neighbor's houses. Honestly I just want to go for cookies, and don't want to socialize. My secret goal is to find a babysitter in the 9th-10th grade range for our little one ha ha. And the cookies, don't forget the cookies.

@bntfroggie mmmm cookies! I love seeing what other kinds of cookies people cherish.
WTF kid, what is it with my right side? He's so comfy over there that I'm totally lopsided. Starting to worry that this lump near my rib cage is his head rather than his butt. There's no way he's this big already. Wonder if I could talk my OB into a quick ultrasound at my Wednesday appt...
Oh, and another WTF to myself eating ribs in a white tank top. Totally dropped one and now have bbq sauce blazened across each boob and my belly. Awesome.
Sitting in the waiting room at the diagnostic place to do my glucose screening... All the ladies from the front are in the back trying to communicate to an old guy what they're going to do and I don't think he speaks English so he just keeps saying "Noooo." We may be here a while. Haven't even handed them my insurance card or anything. Hopefully I'm next. I didn't have to fast, but all I had this morning was a PB&J bagel and then DH had a meeting with the Dean of education at the college that I had to go to. And now I'm hangry.
ETA that stuff tastes like really flat, old orange soda. Yuck. Wasn't even cold.
It seriously must be appointment day. Gotta cram all of us in before Christmas!
Oh I forgot to tell y'all my good juju. My doctor in the ER was SO excited when I told her who my OB was. Apparently my OB delivered her kids and she loves her. That makes me feel really good even though I wasn't overly concerned to begin with.
I've been wrapping Christmas gifts for the last 4 hours and my hips and back are screaming at me. Good news is that I've been breaking frequently to chug water and cram cookies into my mouth...sooooo good.
@SarahFoley725 My granny used to make these amazing little ginger snap cookies for the holidays. If I can get off bedrest, I'm going to make some. Mmmm.
@skruhmin I know this is going to sound scary and crazy early but, if the mesh bumper and sleep sack don't work it might be time to switch him over to a toddler bed. The family I used to nanny for transitioned their 18 month old twin boys because they were getting stuck and climbing out. They did great and were potty trained shortly after. Some kids are just ready earlier.
My students and coworkers showered me with cookies and chocolate this year. My favorites are the home made biscochitos. I only have two of them left though, and I'm pretty sad about it.

If the sack and bumper don't work then we will definitely switch.

Eurgh I need to bitch and moan about myself. Feeling like Tubby McFatFuck over here. I've gained 29lbs at 28 weeks. Midwife wasn't overly concerned but said it would be better to slow down the weight gain. No one to blame but myself, been wayyyyyyy too over indulgent and it's finally caught up with me. And just in time for Christmas!! I suck, feeling pretty crap rn.
@ecwk you are seriously SO cute! She likely said that since baby will start packing on the pounds in the next few weeks! Seriously though you're one of the tests pregnant ladies ever

I was feeling like that at my appointment right after Thanksgiving. My Dr. actually made me feel a lot better about it becuase she said that every single woman she had seen that day was at least 5 lbs ahead of their weight gain target numbers. She said it's just the side effects of being pregnant durring the holidays.

Another Tubby McFatFuck over here, checking in. I haven't weighed myself in weeks. 4 to be exact. I'm terrified of what I'll see. I'm eating all the things and not moving at all due to severe SPD. I have an appointment tomorrow, so we shall see what OB says, but I'm not optimistic...
Be kind to yourself. Losing the weight is possible, and once you have the LO you can work on that. Right now focus on keeping yourself happy and sane and growing that baby.

Add me too the Tubby McFatterson group. I got a (nice and not judgy) talking to from my OB today. Up 15 pounds since my last appointment 6 weeks ago aka HALF of the THIRTY pounds I've gained.
i did last time @flowerpower5838. he was super cool about it, like "i know you had some makeup weight to gain so i didn't say anything at first, but i am worried if you keep up at this pace - 9 pounds in one month is a lot" LOL whoops!

Argh DH is on my shit list tonight. He offered to make my wing dip for my Christmas party tomorrow- but forgot to add the CHEESE (an important ingredient). Then he put it into our small crock pot, put it in the fridge, and managed to break one of my jolly rancher roses I made for my secret Santa. So i had to make another one, which tired me out. On top of I had to remix the dip to add the cheese. AND make my ugly christmas sweater...which is just a red sweater that I attached a mirror to and decorated with tinsel, so when the students ask me why my sweater is ugly I can tell them to look in the mirror and I can say "it's pretty ugly now, huh?" 6:15 pm and I'm whooped.
February Siggy Challenge- Post pregnancy indulgences
I feel bad now. I'm gaining 8-10 pounds per month, every month. Yes, there is twins, but dr pretty well said as long as the babies are growing well and I pass my glucose test, then she is ok with my weight gain
I'm currently standing in about a 30 person line at Ross wondering why in the HELL I didn't do my chistmas shopping g already. It's almost not worth it except I FINALLY found something that my mom will like. I'm considering hiding my little stash of things somewhere and coming back early tomorrow morning when they open.
I gained 8 lbs last month for a total of 26 lbs at 27 weeks... Whoops. So, I had the same convo with my OB. I tried doing squats last week and could barely get out of bed the next day haha! I blame the holidays
