I'm already feeling a lot better today (breathing-wise), further convincing me it's just baby. I talked to my mom this morning, too, and she made me feel a lot better about my decision to be cautious and call them. She also agreed with the doctor's decision to order tests based on family history. I have those set up for Friday, and now I'm actually glad I'll have some heart testing done after everything that happened with my mom.
@rkstro2 Hopefully that pain goes away soon! I can't say I have any advice there. My RLP hasn't hung around too long at any given time.
@Jkp7749 , thinking happy thoughts for you. Keep us posted!
I forgot to wear red today, but...I normally commute with my DH and DS (but did not today because I had to go in for blood work this morning in a separate car) and we normally make a stop for coffee, then drop DS off at daycare. DH got all the way to daycare and texted me "apparently it's wear red day at daycare and we forgot. Also, everyone keeps commenting (daycare, coffee shop lady) on how awesome it is that I took DS alone today, isn't that strange?" We clearly BOTH forgot that today was the Day Without Women day, lol...
Checking in to l&d going to get meds to try to stop contractions and be observed. Its breaking my heart to be away from dd and im so nervous if this turns into more than an overnight thing

I'm sorry. So did your water break then? Big hugs girl! Your DD will be ok. Your mom is going to be watching her right? She may be a little upset but she is safe and loved and cared for.
@Jkp7749 aw man! Prayers that the medicines work super well, that you have kind understanding and knowledgable doctors and nurses, and that those babies stay put!!
@kns1988 Thank goodness our place has been great as far as no rats or roaches, it's a pretty clean and nice apartment for its age! Luckily the only age-related issues we've had have just been issues of time and things needing to be replaced! I lived in Koreatown in 2007 and the roaches were unbearable, it was a building from the 20's and such a nightmare.
@SKZW Thanks!! And regarding the doll, one of my best friends' boys is 4 now and absolutely adores Disney Princesses. She is so nurturing to his interests and the care he takes in playing with them and dressing them is so much fun to see! She even bought a bag of like 200 pairs of barbie shoes on ebay so he could have more options for his princesses. We will absolutely support whatever our lad is into! About the red, I can't take the day off because I'm freelance and just won't be paid, and we need all the money we can get before this baby comes, as my Maternity Leave is also my own responsibility. Sadly, I have NO red that fits! Red lipstick is my only option, and I'm wearing it now DH wore red too.
@RainyDays86 That is such fabulous news about the tumor! My gramma had a mastectomy on one side in the 80's and it never ever came back. That plus your chemo working to me spells success and I am in awe of you going through it like a boss!
@ShadeofGreen816 Pity party away! I scratched someone's car in the gym parking lot yesterday on top of everything else and just cried and cried to my husband before bed last night. We can try to be strong for so long but sometimes you just gotta let that gunk out and I feel so much better today! Hope everything looks up for you starting today
Side note, does anyone else have to write usernames to tag on a Post-It before replying? I wish there was an easier way to "tag" people!
@sweaterboots: Yes! I totally blank on people's names unless I write them down, esp when there's 20 or 30 msgs to read before writing. And I love the 200 pairs of Barbie shoes, that's really cute!
@jkp7749 - Thinking of you. Hoping everything is okay!
I had a rough morning. My cat decided to wake us up at 3:30am. It took me 3 hours to get back to sleep. Which meant a late start to my day. I was feeling really grumpy then DH told me he has a job interview on Friday!
Just to recap DH owns his own business and has been struggling for awhile. He's trying to stay on long enough to pay off debts to vendors, but the end is certainly near. He'll probably have to work both jobs for awhile. We both agree that it's a better solution than moving in with his parents. FX the interview goes well!
Baby must be doing more construction in there because the movements all morning have been so big they either startle or hurt me. Good thing no one can really see me at my desk because I probably look nuts cringing and jumping every few minutes.
@sweaterboots All I could think of was horror when you said 200 pairs of Barbie shoes... not because they are for your friends DS because that is awesome! But stepping on barbie high heels in bare feet is like 10,000 times worse then a Lego!!! My DD is 3 and LOVES barbies, but I refuse to let her have all the accessories yet. I'm just not ready for the rogue barbie heels in the middle of the night!!!
@jkp7749 thinking of you today, hoping L&D goes smoothly!
@LilMissCrafty So sorry about the business! That is so stressful. my Fiance had a side business that started failing the beginning of 2016 and we had to get through the lease period that ended in October. It definitely put a strain on us for a few months emotionally and financially! Hang in there!

I actually strip each barbie of the small parts to store for a bit. I'm also worried about this LO getting ahold of that stuff. Maybe once he's older, DD will get her Barbie accessories back.
I showed up to my appt on Friday to find out that my OB wasn't going to be in because she was put on bed rest and that I was going to be transferred to a new Dr. She hadn't even told me she was pregnant! I did notice a little bump at my last appt but I didn't want to ask in case I was wrong. Apparently she's due the very beginning of April so I was never going to have her for my last month of pregnancy anyways. I feel so torn because I of course want her and her baby to be safe but selfishly im bummed for me because I really, really liked her.
Rebecca517 I'd totally be bummed. Weird she didn't tell any of her patients that she'd be on leave. Obviously this was earlier than expected, but either way she would've been on leave when you delivered probably.
Bah! Went out for lunch this afternoon and got into a car accident. Crazy driver t-boned me in a parking lot and drove off...who hits and runs?? So the front of my car is destroyed and I'm waiting on my doctors office for a know NST to make sure everything is ok. I'm sure it is because it was low speed/low impact and the airbags didn't go off, plus she's still squirming around like always. Just frustrating and annoying and creates more things to worry about.
@rebecca517 I'd be bummed about my OB too. I think it would have been a good professional decision for your doc to tell you that she would likely be out for part of your prenatal care and/or delivery.
I'm not a doc, but my clients are aware of my pregnancy and plans for when I'll be out on maternity leave.
@Rebecca517 my ob went on br too (but that was early and she's back now) and even so, i felt so left out to dry bc she had been with me through alot! I feel ya but hopefully your other dr will be just as wonderful!
@Kipperoo that is awful. Who the heck does a hit and run!!!! I'm so glad it was low impact but also glad youre still being checked!! Hope everything is good with baby!!
Not much update yet... Waiting on test results about fluid, have had some kind of med to slow contractions and have had a bunch of iv fluid.
Eta i wont tag everyone, but thanks for all your thoughts and well wishes!
@Kipperoo: Seriously, who does that?! What a jerk. Sorry you have to now deal with all the baloney of car repair, insurance, checking on baby. It's just so much more to deal with, geez.
@Jkp7749: Thx for the update! The waiting is sometimes the hardest part, right?
I had an ob appt today & she was concerned about some things & sent me to the lab for bloodwork, so I'm in limbo now awaiting results. I'm assuming nothing's wrong until I hear otherwise, but time is still moving slow.
@kipperoo That is so stressful no matter how low impact! hopefully the parking lot has cameras and you are able to get a license plate number or something!
@Kipperoo wow, people are jerks! Who does that! I hope you are fully okay, make sure to get properly checked out because damage doesn't always manifest right away.
@Kipperoo Ughhh people can be such jerks. Glad you and baby are ok and hopefully the damage to your car is inexpensive!
@Jkp7749 I'm glad the doctors office got you in quickly this morning. Are you feeling contractions or where they just noticed on the monitor at the doctors office? Fingers crossed those babies stay put!
