@klj0228 this morning I was startled awake by a super weird dream that I have now forgotten. I shot up and my heart was racing. Often my oldest wakes me at 5am (apparently he thinks we need to be up to till the fields?).
I can’t remember if I woke up once or twice in the night to pee, but I remember my dream being pretty stressful - me and DH were late to our wedding part 2 and I couldn’t find my dress and my hair/makeup was not done LOL we’ve been married for over 4 years, like what???? Long story short, my sleep sucked.
We’re going to my parents today for thanksgiving dinner. I’ll be baking up a storm today. Any other plans for my fellow Canadians?
My oldest gets up at 5 am. DH and I take a week at a time shifts of who gets up to get him a snack and turn on the tv. I fantasize about waking him up at 5 when he’s a teenager.
Canadian mama here! DH is cooking a turkey big enough to feed half the city! My mom and her husband are coming over for dinner. Tomorrow my dad and his wife are coming to finish signing some wedding documents (DH officiated their wedding on Friday) and steal some leftovers.
I’m exhausted after a super late night Friday for the wedding so I’m just relaxing as much as I can.
@pickle-chips Im Canadian too. DH and I and my step daughter are going to my in-laws house tomorrow for a big turkey dinner with the whole family and kids etc.. Mmmm can't wait to eat lots of food 😋 I'm sad I can't have any wine this year lol
Ok, I just had to share my happiness. I just got back my results for my second beta I had done early this morning. My first one on Thurs was 664 and this second one on Sunday was 2142. Yay! Go baby go!! ❤️ phew. I feel so relieved that my numbers are going up and it’s looking good so far. I will go again for a third one next Tuesday. FX for higher numbers.
Every time I see someone introduce themselves and say they were part of another BMB and are still close to them it makes me even more excited about this group. I still talk with my BMB daily and have been so lucky to have them as support friendship through pregnancy and growing children.
@mindyb2019 whohoo on the great repeat beta #s! With progress like that Im surprised they want a 3rd but either way the mental relief is worth it.

Took the kids apple picking over the weekend, and then to the pumpkin farm. It was a lot of fun but I may have over done it. I was so sore afterwards and started cramping a little. Had to sit my ass down and take it easy the rest of the weekend.
My biggest struggle right now is keeping the other kids from hurting me. Because Im still taking fertility meds (injections) Im already sore. Then add pregnancy pinches and cramps and Im a hot mess. The kids still think Im their personal jungle gym, especially the 2yr old who is 34lbs. Im trying to take it easy and follow doctors orders about weight lifting restrictions but its hard explaining to the kids that mommy is off limits.

@jaztastic thanks. I was happy my betas were so good. Oddly enough, my OB wants me to get betas done 2 times a week for 4 weeks. 🤨 Seems excessive doesn't it?? I hate needles lol
@mindyb2019 yea it does seem a little excessive. Can they do transvaginal ultrasounds in the OB office? Because that seems quicker and more reliable than multiple blood draws over the next few weeks... unless they are looking at other markers in your blood work.

All you 5 am mommas, I am sorry. I will share a game changer for us. When DS was 3.5 he started slipping earlier and earlier with his wake up time. He had been consistently 6:30-6:45, which is tolerable. We bought this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0796WY8HZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fab_tXmHFb01A0F4D
We told him, if it's red, stay in bed. He loved it. I think he felt empowered to know the time. Now that he's older (almost 6 😳), if he wakes up and it's red, he'll look through books in bed or get up and play quietly with his legos. On the weekends, we stretch it until 7. The dog clock was a life saver!

@jaztastic I don’t think they have that ability to do Transvaginal ultrasounds in the OB office. I know they can do an u/s but the OB said they aren’t that great as what the clinics/hospitals do and they can only do the u/s when it’s gets farther along and not so early.

I'm so late to the game with this one but DH and I started watching Schitt's creek a few weeks ago. We watch a few episodes a night and just started season 6. I love it so much.
Update: I just got back my results already from my 3rd beta test today. Sunday it was at 2142 and now today's was 4100 😀 yay! it wasn't exactly double. A little bit less Is that ok? Its still good right? Do the numbers have to double for it to be normal or as long as its going up thats ok?
We saw a heartbeat today! Measuring a few days ahead at 5+6 and beta was 16K. All is looking good, so transferring over to OB in 2 weeks. Get to see the baby again then!
Re: Weekly Randoms 10/11
Any other Canadians out there doing anything fun for the Thanksgiving long weekend?
Happy Thanksgiving to all you Canadian mamas! 🦃
