Watcha thinking bout???

fishwife799

I'm sitting here and "Pocahontas" in on Disney junior... Again. It makes me crazy how much they play this terrible movie. But every time it comes on DD insists on watching it.

I'm thinking about going for a walk to the coffee shop by the gym.... Lol. My membership expired last week and we are waiting to renew. I need coffee and I need to get my butt back to exercising.

Just really enjoying the extra weekend day doing nothing. It's a gray day and sitting around with DH and Ddog is perfect.

NicknShan

I really enjoy freshly baked bread and should do it more.

A lot of times I don't like being due in late June and behind everyone. But it means I haven't done the GD test yet so eating Christmas crack!!!

VikingGirl12

I didn't think I wanted to find out the sex of the baby. I talked DH into not finding out and he's totally on board after working on him for 2 years!! We've told everyone we're probably not finding out. We go to our anatomy scan Tuesday and I want to find out so bad!!!! I feel like I'm a kid waiting for Christmas. I told DH I wanna know now and now he's saying no, that he doesn't want to know anymore. So, I better get to work reversing DH's decision.

fishwife799

@huskerfamily I hate being late in the month too. It's hard enough everyone finding out the sex before me but when it comes to go time and everyone is going to have their babies before us I'm gonna go crazy

HighFive16

I must be in denial because the fact some of us are having anatomy scans is crazy!! 
Or else I am just jealous because I am a mere 14 weeks along!

My OB does them routinely at 18 weeks, while most others do them at 20. I will only be 17+4, but she is allowing us to do it a few days early bc DH is an accountant and there's no way he'd be able to come the following week due to end/beginning of the yr inventory. And she knows how important it is to me he be there since DS was born with birth defects and I'm terrified for the scan.

Sitting here waiting on Snowmaggedeon to start in KC. Kind of excited about letting them put on snowsuits. Otherwise, they were a big waste of money.

Yes!  I want to know the sex so bad!   

I will probably be among the first to have babies, though, because triplets.  DS ended up being 38 weeks so I was towards the beginning with him even though I was due in the middle of the month.   You just never know!

I was thinking you would likely go early. Hopefully they stay in as long as they can though DD my water broke at 40+1 she was born the next day. As DS water broke and he was born at 39+3. So I will likely still be late in the month. As long as a don't go into July though I'll be happy

I'll be 19 weeks when I get mine...which is 17 days away...not that I'm counting or anything.

Oh no, it totally didn't come across like you were on any sort of countdown there.  

I was due of the 18th of the month with my first which didn't feel too bad but the 22nd this time feels like it is SO late! I am totally impatient. Not knowing the sex is driving me crazy! Editing to add that knowing that all looks good with the baby was such a relief last time too. 

mkemommy

@HighFive16 - I hear you, lady.  I just want to see the little one again and know everything is ok (my doctor doesn't do ultrasounds very often for patients and I only had the first one at 8 weeks or so).  Add to that that I was originally told I would be getting the MaterniT21 or something similar but my doctor got my age wrong (she thought I was a year older than I am and turning 35 this year...only time I've ever been mad to have someone get my age wrong in THAT direction because now my insurance won't cover the test so we didn't do it).  I was just hoping for the "all clear" health-wise for baby earlier and finding out the gender would have been a nice bonus.

Found it! I was gone so long I couldn't find the randoms thread....

I think we need a "Shit my husband says" thread. Or a book that we could all contribute to titled "What NOT to say to your pregnant wife".

Let me preface this by saying I am not complaining about DH, because he has been overall wonderful throughout this pregnancy. However, I will say that sometimes he should think long and hard before he lets something fly out of his mouth. And I'm glad we can find the humor in these moments 15 minutes after they happen.

Long story made somewhat shorter - we have been traveling since Wednesday, so we were both tired and overwhelmed after having another Christmas to go to on the opposite side of the state yesterday. There were a handful of moments on my part where I was forgetful or "having a blonde moment". When we got home, DH made a comment that went something like this: "The blonde moments are getting old - and they're happening a lot more often lately" - like I was doing it on purpose. My eyes opened wide, and I gave him a look that was a combination of my resting bitch face and the death glare. 

He went outside to grab something from the car, realized his mistake within about 60 seconds, came back in and apologized profusely.

My AS isn't until 21+5 on Jan 25th....so far away....

The way my appointments were falling I was going to have to wait until 22 weeks which was not until March! Luckily my doc was out of the office this week so we are going next week and that should put me on track to have it at 19 weeks... Hopefully

I'm really hoping today is a better day than yesterday. I assume it's hormone related but I have been having a rough time with my kids lately. They are making me crazy. I've seriously been considering trying to find a job so I can get a break. DH is little to no help. He works a lot and when he comes home he always has something to do outside or just sits on the couch and barks at the kids for everything. It's just all been super overwhelming. I really wasn't planning on having #3 so soon (if at all) and I'm starting to worry it's going to be what breaks me.

The nice thing about buttoning your pants at 17w3d is the ability to feel baby pokes better.  

PS: Dear Gap, please deliver my new maternity pants ASAP.

dennyandlee

My tailbone hurts all the time and it makes me sad because I can't even enjoy sitting down for a rest without a pain in my behind.

1. Ready for all of this rain and 70+ degree weather to go away.  DH and I had the most stressful Christmas day with our home almost flooding.  We got lucky and the water receded, but it made me a nervous wreck. (pics below)
 
2. I don't go for my AS until 20 weeks, but we have an elective place here in our little town and she has been doing ultrasounds for 30+ years.  We go to her Friday to find out the gender.  She has promised she can tell then and insist doctors only wait longer because they do not know how to look for the right things so early.  If she cannot tell Friday she will want to wait 10 days and try again at no charge to us! 

3. I am already tired of people asking me what I think I am having.  I do not want to say because I don't want to get set on one gender then find out it is the other. 

NicknShan

chelthorn Those pics are terrifying!!

And doctors wait until ~20 weeks because the point of the anatomy scan is much much more than just a gender determination.  It is a time when the various systems of the baby have developed enough to be able to check them for abnormalities, and when accurate measurements can be made to do so.

HBamama2B

@fishwife799 you are tougher than you think you are mama! Hope today is a better day!

@chelthorn yikes! Glad it didn't reach the house, not a fun way to spend a day though.

This. Although my OB was welcoming of doing the AS at 17+4, she did warn that I may need to come back to get more measurements as they may not be able to see everything.


@chelthorn where are you located?

goldie987

I just got my first pair of maternity pant and damn, why do people not wear these all the time??? I only have the slightest bump but they are infinitely more comfortable than pants with a button and zipper.

splsmama2016

I'm adding another.... I'm thankful my body decided to wait until after Christmas to catch a cold/sinus infection. But I'm still beyond miserable and it's making DH annoyed with me lol. But my cat, on the other hand, is keeping me company.

ahernandez16

I'm just going to whine a bit.

Since it was Christmas weekend a lot of my old friends from high school were in town and I didn't get invited to hang out with any of them - once. Granted, they all go to bars and obviously I can't drink but Jesus, I'm having a baby, I didn't fall off the face of the earth and die. An invite could've been extended and honestly, I would've went and just not drank. I don't feel weird about being the only sober one at a party.

I know it's to be expected as I'm the first of my group of friends to get married and have kids and I'm sure people meant well and just thought I wouldn't want to decline the invite, but it hurt my feelings. And to be honest, it made me feel old, lol. I did get together with one friend for breakfast before she headed back home which was nice.

NicknShan

@ahernandez16 Sorry to hear about your friends blowing you off.  This happened a lot with my first pregnancy too, and it sucked.  Like I am some sort of a "no fun alien" now that I am pregnant. The second time around?  I vent for the opposite - being used as a sober cab way to much.  You can never win...

chelthorn

@NicknShan North West Alabama... This only lasted about an hour for us.  There are some in North East Alabama, Central, and South AL still dealing with flood issues.  

HighFive16

@chelthorn those pics are so scary. I am glad your house didn't flood though. @ahernandez16 I am sorry your friends did that. I learned about this in my first pregnancy too and it hit me hard. You are still the same person. It sucks people treat you differently.

HighFive16

My husband told me he thought DD was tired and was ready for bed so we put her up (realistically knowing she wouldn't stay there this early). Well we were right and she is looking to come down but not crying or anything, and we made an executive decision to let her play for another 5 mins so that we get to eat our ice cream without her in our faces looking for it. #momanddadfail

Ditto. I. Am. Dumb. Seriously I feel sooooo dumb these days. Can't remember anything. I wish I could say it goes away after the baby gets here. But I would be lying.

HighFive16

I had my driving license in my hand.... That was three days ago. I have no idea where the hell it went between being in my hand to going to the car!! Agrees Pregnancy brain is REAL!

I would say I remember being smarter.  But I don't remember that entirely clearly.  I just think I was.

I feel you. Mine are little monsters lately. DH's back has been bothering him, so he tries to help, but then whines about his back hurting. Try having a hangover for 3 months, dude, with no day off.

I AM SO FREAKING HUNGRY ALL THE TIME.  I was doing really well with cravings but the last few days have been insane with the amount of stuff I've been eating...cereal, cheese, gluten-free bread, candy, chips, fries, blech (and, yes, that is all today).  What makes it worse is I feel so full after I eat then get hungry like two hours later.  This might be due in part to the fact that I'm eating food that isn't high in protein.  Time to bulk up on the protein and stop eating junk food like chips/fries/candy.

This was me for the last two weeks. I couldn't get enough food in me!! Thank goodness it seems to be subsiding the last day or so because I was worried! 
I also was not feeding myself with the healthy things like I should have  been

Everything tastes better out of a wine glass. This obsession started on Christmas Eve because I enjoyed a glass of sparkling grape juice. Now I'm sitting here watching Finding Nemo at 10am with DD and drinking La Croix sparking water out of a wine glass.
