Re: Weekly Check-In 8/17
@szwill86 yes to HDBD pics! I look PREGANANT. I almost started a HDBD thread last week because my uterus clearly remembers being pregnant and is fully loose and expanded like it's 20w haha.

GTKY: Tell us two of your biggest pet peeves! When people clear your food or drink before you’re done with it.

Anatomy Scan; should be the week of Labor Day
Huge. Haha. Constipation is still going on but I’ve finally been able to consistently start adding coffee back in. I had a ton of Braxton Hicks last night and that sucked. Overall, I feel tired a lot but I’ve been able to up my walking the past week and do more yoga, so that helps.
Rave: MH had his first day off in four weeks and he drove 10-12 hours to spend 14 hours with us. It was so sweet, the best night of sleep I’ve gotten since he left, and the boys desperately needed their Daddy. I felt guilty about all the driving and because I have been very emotional and moody lately. My dad had surgery last week and his release from the hospital has been delayed by his age and it taking him longer to recover. It’s so hard to have someone in the hospital during coronavirus. 😑
Nope.
GTKY: Tell us two of your biggest pet peeves!
People who quote Super Troopers 🤣 and people who don’t have kids and tell parents they are doing it wrong. 😆
@adorebel I’m sorry about having to go back in person. It’s so hard to know what to do these days. 😕
@birdiejo yay for less anxiety! But huge boo to delayed indefinitely NIPT results. That’s crap.
GTKY: Tell us two of your biggest pet peeves! People who have full on conversations on speaker phone for no reason in public. I’m sure I have more but I can’t think of any.
Also- some of us are 16 weeks along already! Should we start doing the usual HDBD with pics (if you’re comfortable)? I generally don’t do bump pics but I have no problem with others doing them
How far along are you? (Weeks + Days): 15 + 3
GTKY: Tell us two of your biggest pet peeves! Poor table manners, people who are attached to their phones in social situations.
@moguippy Ugh I hate speakerphone talkers. That and anyone who constantly wears a bluetooth.
@adorebel I am guilty of bluetooth at the beach. We always try to have it at a volume that doesn't disturb others but I am definitely guilty.
@birdiejo That's crazy about your NIPT! Did they give you any idea as to a timeframe??

Also- some of us are 16 weeks along already! Should we start doing the usual HDBD with pics (if you’re comfortable)? Yes! I’ve started to show way earlier this time around and already look quite pregnant.
I'm feeling crummy due to low blood pressure. I was told to drink a bunch of water and it should improve in third trimester. My hips have started hurting from sleeping, I'll have to get my pillow situation organized
I'm going camping this weekend and I'm sooooo excited!!!
I've noticed over the past few weeks that DH never pushes in his chair at the table 🙄
My mom is a speaker phone person 😂 I don't understand it @moguippy
@tamalahoops so sorry to hear about your dog ❤️❤️❤️ losing a pet is so hard
GTKY: Tell us two of your biggest pet peeves! Lack of common sense (which isn't all that common). Can I just pick a person as my second? Because really anything that has to do with one of my co-workers in particular just sends my nerves over the edge.

GTKY: Tell us two of your biggest pet peeves! Lazy people that don’t put their shopping carts away. I still do it with a toddler so people alone can easily do it. People that drive in the slow lane on the highway. I have a lot haha
How far along are you? (Weeks + Days):

A clownfish!

Basically anything where people aren’t considerate of the fact that are sharing space with others annoys me.
Also- some of us are 16 weeks along already! Should we start doing the usual HDBD with pics (if you’re comfortable)? Not sure that I’ll participate but I’d love to see yours!
GTKY: Tell us two of your biggest pet peeves! 1. People that aren't polite. Is it really hard to say thank you to someone for doing something nice? 2. Why am I the only person in my home that is capable of doing laundry?!!
Also- some of us are 16 weeks along already! Should we start doing the usual HDBD with pics (if you’re comfortable)?
I'd be ok with doing HDBD!!
GTKY: Tell us two of your biggest pet peeves! 1) like a lot of others, people facetiming/speakerphone convo-ing/watching videos/listening to loud music in inappropriate public places (aka dr waiting rooms, on the train, etc). This is not your house where you’re free to do whatever you please. 2) slow walkers/people walking side by side taking up the whole sidewalk. Maybe it’s the tall person with long strides part of me or the fact that I’m used to NYC walking, but move it or lose it! People have places to go and can’t get there if you’re moseying along.

1. Line cutting - it boils my blood when people think there time is more important than others.
2. I agree about slow walkers! Move or get out of the way!
Speaking of vehicles - I need to trade mine in. I'm thinking about downsizing from a Mid-Size SUV to either a Compact SUV or a Sedan. Our senior dog has problems getting into what I'm currently driving because it's so high up and the further along I get, the harder it's going to be for me to physically help her. Whatever I get, I absolutely need leather upholstery again in my life. These cloth seats are hard enough with the husky, I can't imagine the upkeep when adding an infant into the mix.

voice to text around other people!! My husband does it all the time. Just type your response!!!!
GTKY: Tell us two of your biggest pet peeves!
When people repeat back to you what you just said instead of answering a direct question or acknowledging something you just said (deliberately to stall).
When people hover just to be nosy or clingy.
GTKY: Tell us two of your biggest pet peeves! @elizabethkd23 I had started to write out how much I can't stand slow walkers then realized you have the same peeve! It's the worst, especially when there are multiple people taking up a whole sidewalk/path. Also, on airplanes when someone fills up the overhead bin with their smaller bag, coat, etc. As I think about it, there are a lot of behaviors in airports/on airplanes that bother me (there are many slow walkers in airports)...
Also- some of us are 16 weeks along already! Should we start doing the usual HDBD with pics (if you’re comfortable)? Sure! I sometimes think I have a bump, but other times I think maybe it's just the last meal I ate
are you waiting until the baby is born or are you just waiting for a certain time to find out the gender? YOU CAN DO IT! have strength (though heaven knows I would have clicked it faster than I can blink haha)
GTKY: Tell us two of your biggest pet peeves! HAHA i can't think of anything right now but I am easily annoyed so who knows LOL
Also- some of us are 16 weeks along already! Should we start doing the usual HDBD with pics (if you’re comfortable)? sure, i always forget though! haha
@PinkKathryn12 I have no resources or anything but my endocrinologist recently said it’s about the amount of sugars you eat at once. Like don’t have 2 slices of pizza. Eat one slice and a salad. Similar to that. I stopped eating two slices of toast or a whole English muffin at breakfast and just eat 1 slice or half an English muffin. It’s a lot of carb counting and moderation. It also depends on how bad your numbers are. ie I knew someone who basically had to cut out carbs to keep her numbers down and I knew someone who just had to be smart about what she ate and do the moderation thing and she was fine.
Also, not sure what your OB will do, but I check-in with my dietitian once per week to give her my numbers and make sure there's no problems. She mentioned that around the beginning of 3rd trimester is when they typically see a problem (if there will be one) in patients who otherwise were able to manage their sugars with diet alone.
