@cdmkruger yes. Especially over the last few days. Usually the dude has a dance party in the morning but today I've only felt a few jabs and rolls. I'm trying not to let it stress me out while I'm at work but I plan to do some kick counts tonight if it doesn't increase. I haven't had to do them before because he literally was moving constantly. I also am logically attributing it to there just being less room for him to move around in there.
How far along are you?28 weeks today. Hello 3rd trimester!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Rants I'm at work and the charge nurse of my clinic is a lazy, unethical, unqualified twatwaffle. She is such a nasty person, and gets so aggravated when things go wrong, which I had nothing to do with, her mistakes actually, that she storms off the floor. We are getting a new "boss" soon and I'm hoping things change or I won't be coming back here after baby is born Rave- um... um... despite her, I'm not miserable Symptoms- BH contractions, I just work through them
What are you doing to prep for baby? Nada today, well I rescheduled my glucose test for tomorrow.
Questions? What kinda things are you ladies planning on doing with your newborns this summer.
GTKY: Maybe this has been asked before, but what are you most looking forward to about becoming a mom (or adding onto your family if S/TTM)? Other than holding, loving and bonding with my little boy, I'm looking forward to instilling my values and ethics in my child. I have a lot of love for nature and animals, I'm hoping he'll love hiking and what not with me. I'm hoping he's my best friend and he loves me as much as I love my mom.
@kbequette08 so glad you are feeling great and got some good sleep @DeePaddy24 I'm sorry you are so tired. I hope you get some rest soon and start to turn a corner! @MamaNicoleof3 Completely made me LOL to crawl around on all 4's @mrsschmity I hope your GTT went okay and the results are good. I would have killed my DH if he said that to me lol @ahernandez16 It sounds like the instructor of your BFing class was a douch! I'm so sorry it was such a bad experience! @jerseygirl9090 I always thought the middle was best as well but since I've done more research, it's best to install the seat where the latches are and the seat is most secure. We too will be putting it on one side and it took me a while to come to grips with that but I understand it now. I'm just making sure to get the car seat with the extra safety surround at the head. GL! @Huskerfanz You are a trouper! Yay 28 weeks! @chelseay416 I hope you are feeling better soon! @candicek15 Love your thought process with the cupcakes! @colesmom33 Happy Birthday!!! @MsBeachNJ "Bump Suffocation" Love it! @curleemama32 Is there a video of you bowling at 30 weeks? How does that work? @edeibel89 We were just thinking about packing a hospital bag the other day....didn't do it yet. @cdmkruger I hope your doc will reassure you from less movement, I think it's normal because they run out of room @mar101483 Sorry about your coworker, hopefully the new boss will change things
How far along are you? 28+4, less than 10 weeks! (won't let her go past 38wks)
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Rant: Attempted to walk the flight of stairs for the first time since February after my asthma/flu/viral thing. I had to sit down at the top and use my inhaler because I couldn't breathe. Won't be doing that again anytime soon. I had patients in the lobby asking if I needed help! Rave: Insurance approved a breast pump for me! I might be renting a hospital grade right at the beginning but we'll see. So glad that went through. Symptoms: I feel so overwhelmed! It's coming so quick now!
What are you doing to prep for baby? Was hoping to stencil the nursery but can't find anything cute to do. First shower isn't for another 11 days and I can't stand not being ready with everything. Cloths are all washed and ready to go. Considering getting a chest freezer for storage.
Questions? None until after I post, that's when they all come to me
GTKY: Maybe this has been asked before, but what are you most looking forward to about becoming a mom (or adding onto your family if S/TTM)? Experiencing all the firsts and being able to make my own decisions for my own family. I'm so happy!

Rants/Raves/Symptoms: No rants today!!!! Rave: I just got asked to make ANOTHER skating dress for a competition coming up in a couple weeks. AND the mom agreed to the "rush order fee"! Husband made burgers and TOTS for dinner, and brought home ice cream. I'm mildly afraid to ask what he did. Symptoms: Severe back pains today mild headaches and since my skin is stretching, my belly is extra itchy in several places.
What are you doing to prep for baby? 32 week appointment and hospital tour next week. Baby shower next weekend too. I've started pulling together freezer meal recipes that my MIL wants to help me with while she's here next week.
Questions? Probably been asked before, but I can't remember... How many pediatricians did/are you ladies meet(ing) with? My pediatrician is STILL in practice, and I'm highly considering the extra 15-20 minute drive to her location.
GTKY: Maybe this has been asked before, but what are you most looking forward to about becoming a mom (or adding onto your family if S/TTM)? I think I'm looking forward to finally having my own little family, and starting our own traditions. I'm also excited to see if she's going to be a sassy little thing like me, or just an awesome outgoing kid like H was.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Back pain sucks, I now sleep with 4 pillows . Indigestion has also been happening every couple days (eek) ( #TumsAreMyFriends ). I'm so excited to feel baby moving around inside.. Its crazy how much stronger the movements are this week. Exciting! (i'm also veryyyyy excited to finally be in the third trimester! I feel like things will go a little faster now)
What are you doing to prep for baby? Today I received a stroller from my parents.. so that was awesome! (Uppababy). I've organized most of the nursery (and reorganized it) lol. Just need some more new inventory to keep busy lol
Questions? I did an ultrasound last week and baby was sideways.. I know that he is still sideways, (I feel him move every now and then, like a twitch and I can literally feel the round head on one side and at same time a kick on other side) - Was wondering if anyone has any little tips to help get this baby in position. I know its early still but doesn't hurt to ask! GTKY: Maybe this has been asked before, but what are you most looking forward to about becoming a mom (or adding onto your family if S/TTM)? This will be my first baby.. and i've been wanting to have one for so long . Cant wait to have our own little family, to be a mommy, to see my hubby love his son.. to enjoy every little moment with him! hehe
