Well I gave my cold to DS. So now my big kid is curled up in bed with me with his face smashed against my back. Not totally sure how DH is gonna fit in here with us, but I’m definitely soaking up these snuggles from my typically fiercely independent big kid.
Things escalated pretty quickly for me the last few days. Went from really random flutters to feeling a wave of movement with my hand. I swear my brain almost forgot that feeling so it’s pretty damn cool the second time around too.
@bellebaby221 NOOOOOO! DD just got off her 3rd round of antibiotics because she keeps getting strep. I just finished my antibiotic because I got tested and I'm a carrier. Praying that's the end.
Hope it goes out quickly and stays out for your household
My big kid is sick. Took her to the pedi after school and she has an ear infection. Not typically a big deal but she was super uncomfortable and up all.night.long. Then, overnight, she pooped herself (a lottttt) and that isn’t like her at all. Clearly her tummy is off too. It’ll be a day of couch snuggles and TV and attempting to keep her little brother off of her.
You guys, I woke up this morning thinking "It's been a while since we've had any drive-bys. I'll have to visit the other bmbs to be entertained by them." But, the Great Worm God provides, and here we have a new drive-by to enjoy!
I keep getting articles on the bump app home page about feeling ten kicks an hour etc etc. Those don’t apply to us yet right? I feel some sensation that I *think* is kicking normally once a day or every other day... but def not 10 an hour or anything these articles are talking about. It’s just too early - correct? Hashtag FTMprobz lol
uhg sorry for everyone with sick kiddos. This time of year is horrible!!!!
@mommin135 No I think it's still way too early for any kind of kick count. Your doctor will tell you when to start counting kicks and will explain that whole process!
@mommin135 I got the same article yesterday and it made me anxious. If the app posts the same articles for different points in pregnancy, I bet you're right around where I am (I'm 18 weeks today). That's definitely still too early, especially for a FTM, to be feeling regular kicks. I haven't felt anything yet, in fact.
I think week 28 for kick counts. I feel kicks here and there but no consistency and this is my 3rd so I know what it’s supposed to be like theoretically
@notthecheat Thanks!! I've got one with tonsillitis and one with strep. The third one is throwing up. I'm thinking of power washing my house with lysol.
My poor puppy. And my poor self. She stayed with a friend while we were on vacation last weekend and ate a red grape. Friend induced vomiting but while they were outside apparently they walked through a nest(?) of chigger larvae. Took a couple of days but yesterday realized she was covered in chiggers and now we both have tons of bites. Had to get her in the bath (by myself, all 50+ lbs of her, that was a sight to see) and spent all night picking them off of her. Oh and today is her oncology re-check. Rough 24 hours for her.
Everyone was waxing poetic about their pregnancy pillows, and I totally get it now. After being gone for two weeks, sleeping with it last night was amazing!! I missed it so much.
Last day of vacation here - we fly home early this afternoon. We had such a blast and I only over did it a little. Also, when you don’t wear fitted tops, you just look fat, not pregnant. I also really popped over the last week. I’ll be doing my best to catch back up and jump back in this weekend before I head back to the real world.
Just got invited to my fifth fucking online "fill the library" party (aka, buy my newborn these books pls).
No wait, "invited" isn't accurate. I was ADDED TO THE FACEBOOK GROUP and now it's all over my feed. So instead of being invited and saying no, I get to go through and leave each group individually only to be re-invited/added in what I can only (charitably) assume is some kind of temporary insanity in which the gift grabber assumes my "invite" got lost in the proverbial online mail.
@BourbonBiscuits I hate when people randomly add me to their groups just because they want me to buy things. Especially when you get re-added after leaving! There should be a way to block that. So rude and annoying!
@kayjay44 - So fun!! Love Disney. We had to cancel our Oct trip due to my H having a big project come up at work. I’m annoyed. But we booked a little “staycation” to Great Wolf Lodge so that helps.
My ILs are still coming this weekend even after they were told we're all recovering from this week of strep hell. They said they know the risks and are willing to take the chance. Um, it wasn't about them getting sick. It was about us wanting to rest and recover. And my MIL only knows one gear and that's bat shit crazy. Help me.
I feel bad because I havent been able to keep up with everyone this week! 3 weeks ago I started back to school, and 2 weeks ago I got promoted to a supervisory position, so Ive been exhausted and overwhelmed!

Yes. I am a little bit irritable today.
@megpants209 poor puppy!
@BourbonBiscuits - That’s annoying AF.

@megpants209 - YAY!!! Wonderful news!
DH is bringing home sushi for dinner. First the uninterrupted bath the other night. Now sushi. I’m going to have to put out, huh?
