A cantaloupe, I think?
OB regular visit and probably glucose screening on 8/31
Pretty good. Finally yeast infection free 🎉 But now the heartburn has become next level. Baby is moving around like a crazy person and having non-stop dance parties / workouts but I’m not complaining about that at all. I love feeling it!
Yesterday while I was running with my dog, a guy was walking around my neighborhood with his dog unleashed and he had headphones in. His dog came right up to mine as we went by (I also ran in the street to avoid getting too close) and he didn’t even care! It just makes me so angry when dog owners behave that way. What if my dog felt threatened? What if they started to fight because one is on leash and one is off? Not only could the dogs get hurt but I could get hurt. And we’d have to get all close to each other and breathe on each other to break them up. AND you probably wouldn’t even be able to hear it bc you have headphones in. I was fuming. People like that do not care about their pets and it kills me.
I don’t think so!
I 100% believe humans aren’t / haven’t been / wont be the only intelligent life in the universe. However, the fact that we’ve only been around a blip of time in the grand scheme of the universe makes me skeptical that we’d ever meet. The dinosaurs were around longer than we’ve been (which blows my mind). We’d both have to be alive and have the technology / desire to travel through space at the same time and be close enough in the big huge universe to reach each other. Just too many odds against it sadly (or maybe not sadly?)
months really sticking to our family staying home, juggling 2 full time jobs and taking care of DD, but I’m feeling so fortunate we have this option. Also, I have been pretty impressed with my students’ resilience and flexibility!
But really, I agree with @laurenspdx on this one.
@karmba congratulations! That is the first step!
@jchpg This has been so hard with older kids / quaratine. I'm also feeling like I popped this past week!
@laurenspdx That drives me crazy. My dog LOOKS super cute and loves people and any dogs smaller than her, but she was attacked by a rotty she used to live with (a lot apparently) so she panics and get aggressive with any dog bigger than her - she's a corgi we rescued. Like... You never know.
@karmba I hear you on the hips! I’m up like every hour flipping back and forth. No fun 😕
@the_road_to_oz I hope you keep recovering well! So glad you’re home and getting better.
@karmba Congrats on passing the first round!
@jchpg This balance situation is so unexpected. I tripped stepping off the curb and skinned my whole left side up. I called my husband to come pick me up.
@karmba congrats on the possible promotion!
@the_road_to_oz Hoping for a better week for you! One thing at a time, but your health and little girl's health is most important!
@willashbaby. Yay for feeling good and working out.
@cassafrass15. I feel how you are feeling! Best of luck with DD in daycare, but it sounds like you guys made the best decision with the smaller classes.
@bartonolivia. I feel your kindergartner. Hopefully a few more weeks will help get a routine!

@jchpg Balance is definitely being thrown off. I tripped a few weeks ago chasing after my DD on a walk and I haven't taken her on one out of stroller since. No "off-leash/off-stroller' walks for us!
@karmba sleep issues here too for sure. I'm constantly flipping from side to side and it's such an effort to do so. My H asked if I wanted to use both pregnancy pillows at the same time... I don't think that would help
@the_road_to_oz I'm so sorry for all your health issues you've been dealing with. I hope things turn around soon!
@cassafrass15 that worry never really goes away, but knowing they're with their friends having fun helps offset it a bit!
@bartonolivia how long has your kid been back in school? We're at the 4th week and she finally had a dropoff this morning where she seemed generally excited to go back.
@shelmcclel I'm sorry your H is being that way. We're almost in the opposite situation where my H won't make a decision to save his life! Everything's been up to me lately and it's starting to wear on me as well. And for things he can't decide, we just get stuck until we stop talking about it.

Not so good actually. I had a full blown panic attack yesterday laying in bed crying and hyperventilating. Have been feeling a lot of generalized anxiety with everything going on the world mixed with worrying about physical symptoms and also worrying about my dog; it all just seemed to come crashing down on me yesterday. I try so hard to be the strong one (my H is the more sensitive one) and my mantra is that everything will work out how it should/just keep swimming type of thing, but I'm just having a hard time dealing with it all. Feeling claustrophobic in the world/my house/my head/my body.
Rants: We've barely made any progress on the nursery since it's a guest bedroom right now, and my H can't decide if he wants to sell the furniture that's in there or store it for later. So we've been stuck. We bought a new couch that should be ready sometime end of September, but H can't decide what to do with our current couch..keep it or sell it. There's just a lot of doing nothing going on. I feel like at times we have so much time left till baby gets here, but then like there's not enough time to do it all because nothing's getting done.
Raves: I got glowing remarks on my performance review from work. It was nice to read.

Sure, but I hope they don't come crashing into our world like in Independence Day.

Also, I wish the Bump app was more user-friendly. Hoping at some point we move to a FB group.
app not being great. I know it’s the trend for the month clubs to switch to FB in the 3rd Tri, but I’ll be so sad if that’s the consensus because I don’t use FB and will miss connecting with you all! Just throwing that out there.
@bearmomma1 I hear you in the anxiety. I think my brain is starting crank up my anxiety even more than usual in preparation for baby because it’s not even tied to anything specific, I’m just generally terrified of something I can’t name going wrong.
@KateBee Oh my gosh, a 6 yo and two 4yos for school? You must be a rock star!
