Starting a new one of these since our other one is from 2/2...
Anyone else feel like they are walking around with a bowling ball in their stomach by like 3pm? Anyone, or just me? It feels way too early for this...

Re: Weekly Randoms 2/24
We were stuck in the winter storm that hit Texas. No power for 6 days. Thankfully H was home and we were much better prepared than most. We did end up with a busted pipe in our attic. 😑 H fixed the pipes so we have water again and now we wait on insurance. Going to have to basically completely gut our pantry and kitchen, and the partially gut our living room, dining room, hallway, and the guest bathroom. With the way insurance drags it feet I have a feeling I'm going to be giving birth (doing a homebirth) in a construction zone. 😔
@nopegoat that sounds horrible! I hope everything gets resolved as quickly and easily as possible
be asking 125383026 questions but now I’m definite more nervous now than I was before
@daisy528 yup. I cannot reconcile my size and not even being halfway to 40 weeks.
so huge 🤷🏼♀️
@marikkita12 I’m sorry there’s something else to stress about. Ask all the questions you have bc it’s your body so you have every right to be informed! Any good provider would agree with that too!
My random: we are trying to determine best time to move about an hour away from where we are currently. Since I’m going to MFM and had a precipitous labor with my first and some postpartum complications I don’t feel comfortable moving now/before baby and switching all my providers. So do we move during my 3 months of maternity leave or wait until January/February on 2022 when we potentially have two kids on the move? Not sure which is a better scenario so open to any and all opinions!
@marikkita12 I don’t know anything about it but am very curious, please share how the call goes if you feel comfortable. I hope it’s no big deal
@kime783 ugh none of those options sound fantastic. I do think having at least one child not on the move will make it a little easier
My almost 2 year old is being exxxxxtra toddlery this morning. I’m trying not to laugh while simultaneously being annoyed bc like why are you crying and throwing things, nothing happened! 😂
On a much better note, we had babies born this morning. 😍😍 I'm so glad she waited to give birth in better weather!
@marikkita12 I hope your OB is able to calm your fears and it doesn't affect your VBAC plans. Huge hugs!!
@kime783 oh man that's a tough one. Personally I'd rather move while pregnant. I've moved while pregnant, but with a newborn, and with multiple kids. Pregnant with the least possible kids was by far the easiest. Moving with a newborn was the most difficult by far. But I get your hesitation too. I'd at the very least talk to your OB about it. They may have some amazing recs for you closer to the new place and it may work out even better than you imagined.
@DuchessOfCambridge I feel you so hard. Mr. H is being a looney too.
Soo.. for the past month our DD has been telling us (proudly, I might add) that she skips her naps at daycare now, she’s 4 so it didn’t seem unreasonable. We’ve been letting her skip them at home on the weekends or days off just because it didn’t seem like something to pick at. However, I spoke to her teacher about it out of curiosity today and he said she is their best sleeper! First one out and last one up.. this smart girl has been lying to us for weeks so she can skip naps at home! Haha can’t wait to ask her about it when we get home today and see what toddler logic she uses to explain it
@nopegoat the baby goats are so cute and yay for waiting for better weather for them to come!

Everything else looked fine and baby was estimated to be 9 ounces.
So appointment did not end the best and will be interested to hear what the Doctor has to say when I see them in a couple of weeks.
Glad you shared your experience because I definitely am a bit nervous by the recent news.

@bntfroggie omg that bill 😳 insurance is truly bananas, I don’t understand it at all. I’d really love to know what they do with it that makes it cost $8000 😒
@rschenck14 that’s stressful, I’m sorry. I hope everything goes smoothly but I know that won’t help with the worrying
@jessd0117 I got rid of my pregnancy pillow bc it gave me migraines (part of it went under my head) but I used a body pillow instead during my 2nd pregnancy and never stopped 😂 I love positioning it between my knees and wedging under bump when I’m laying on my side
@pharmd93 I’m SO jealous! I hope it was beyond incredible. I got a call from my OB office today asking if I’d like to be a part of a stress relief study in pregnant women. They mentioned massage and I was like YES. So I hope this means I get a free massage 😂

@[email protected] I never even thought about looking into insurance covering the massage! Maybe I’ll have to see if I can do that or even use my FSA to pay for another one.

I'm sad they didn't give me any pics yet. I guess normally they give out CDs but stopped because of Covid. They said once the Dr goes over everything and forwards the pictures to my midwife that they'll forward them to me as well. My husband wasn't able to go with me because he is out of state working so I'm dying to show him the pics!
Honestly I'm ready whenever at this point because FB has increased privacy settings so unless you friend everyone, the group still will have limited access to your info if you've made most of your settings private.
