This child is kicking/punching/whatever so hard that it simultaneously hurts and makes me nauseous. Such a drastic difference between her and DS.

rgn12

@RDFree32 same here! She was kicking me so hard on my side yesterday, it’s crazy. They said I have an anterior placenta again, but I just don’t see how! Lol

I am measuring 2 weeks ahead (so 30 weeks) 😬

This pregnancy kicks and movements feel different for me too.  Definitely making me queasy and I am not loving it as much as last time. 

DD had her first day of preschool today.... and it did not go well.  I ended up having to go back after 1.5 hours because she wouldn't stop screaming and crying

brookert615

@kaitcrystalline I wouldn't fret too much. Are you and/or your SO tall? That can definitely throw things off!

@scaredunprepared Totally with you on the movements feeling different! Sorry your daughter had a rough first day .

@kaitcrystalline I pay no attention to measurements of any kind. I don't even think my OB tells me. It's all so variable!

@scaredunprepared oh, I'm sorry she had a rough day! Does she goe daily? Hopefully everyday gets a bit easier for her (and you because I KNOW how hard it was on your mama heart).

We are starting to put the "nursery" together. That's really just swapping DDs room around lol. She's officially in the twin bed. I think we will leave the crib in there since baby will be in the cradle for 6m or so anyway. But we will make that half of the room look like his ❤

kaitcrystalline

@brookert615 yes DH is over 6ft and I'm 5.7 so we are both tall. 

@scaredunprepared I'm sorry DD had a hard day. DS just started daycare again and we have tears every morning. Hopefully today when better for her! 

@prpl11butterfly that's so exciting about the nursery! We are doing our renos which means I can finally tackle our nursery as well 🥰

@scaredunprepared I'm sorry the first day was so rough. I hope it improves quickly! 

It's been a rough week around here, so I haven't been on at all. Just letting you know I have been thinking of you ladies.

As I've mentioned my mom has stage 4 lung cancer (she's 56) and was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia last Thursday. There have been so many ups and downs (to her deciding she wants to be a DNR, them thinking she wouldn't make it another couple days, draining 2 liters of fluid off one of her lungs, getting better, then worse, then quite a bit better but still no where close to leaving the hospital....) We're riding a roller coaster and praying for the best and trying to be realistic and enjoy the good moments when they happen. 

scaredunprepared

@mockingjay1 oh wow I'm so sorry to hear about your mom being hospitalized.  I am glad you are able to enjoy the good moments.  I am sure this is all extremely difficult for you, your mom, and your entire family.  Praying for you!

prpl11butterfly

@mockingjay1 I am so sorry. The roller-coaster is so difficult. I hope you get lots of good family time in while she's feeling on the good side ❤


Just downed my glucose drink. 3rd pregnancy and 1st time they actually gave it to me cold. It was more tolerable but still gross 😝 

rgn12

@mockingjay1 I’m so sorry! 

@prpl11butterfly that’s awesome that you’re getting the nursery ready! I’m so slack, I haven’t done anything. The crib is in the garage and the dresser on the way. But besides that sooo slack. I think it doesn’t help that I’ve been using that room as a home office during covid lol. I also need to figure out how to reassemble the halo bassinest from my DD…. I’ve been avoiding that. 

melbel0824

@mockingjay1 I’m so sorry to hear about your mom. Any time you need a release, feel free to let go here.  

rpreston17

@mockingjay1 so sorry lady. I know that rollercoaster all too well. Hang in there. ❤

savedbygrace1213

@mockingjay1 ugh, my heart goes out to you…Praying for your family and that your mom is able to have many more good moments! 

@scaredunprepared hope this week goes better for DD! We started out good, but after a week and a half drop off has been full of tears and DD clinging to DH or I. Hopefully the rest of the school year won’t be like this

I apologize for being so absent this past month! This dang app kicked me off and when I tried to sign back in I apparently didn’t know my password and kept pushing off resetting it. I finally got it done! 

Our last summer days seem to be flying by and suddenly corn harvest is here. Which will lead into bean harvest and basically I won’t see much of DH until November 😢
We transitioned our two girls to the same room so we can get the nursery ready, but now it seems to be turning into a storage room 🤦🏼‍♀️. 

kaitcrystalline

@mockingjay1 I'm so sorry. That is terribly difficult. Sending love to you and your family. 

scaredunprepared

@savedbygrace1213 ugh sorry you're having a rough time with drop offs, too!  Fingers crossed it gets easier for both of us. 

savedbygrace1213

@scaredunprepared yes, hopefully it does, and soon! 

Is anyone else struggling with alway wanting to eat sweets?? 😬 it has been bad for me this time around! 

scaredunprepared

@savedbygrace1213 yes!  All I want is ice cream.  I guess it shouldn't have surprised me that I failed my first GTT.

savedbygrace1213

@scaredunprepared eek! Mine is coming up, and I am not looking forward to it! 

scaredunprepared

@savedbygrace1213 best of luck!!

@savedbygrace1213 i was rockin the first 20 weeks... but slowly... I feel like I am craving bad food.. perhaps it means I am not getting enough calories??  I will def keep an eye on it.. but so hard when you know there are mcdonald coupons and all of a sudden you cant get your mind off the idea of a big mac...nuggets and fries..   

Sorry! I hope the details didnt cause someone to go to the dark place I was in... not being able to get mind off it untilni finally ate it last night...    but same with ice cream...usually not a big fan... and I have a chocolate stash at work and that is worst idea I have had.... 

mommyb31

@mockingjay1 praying for your mom! And your sanity. 

savedbygrace1213

@j-to-the-amie I also have a chocolate stash at work! 

Good work on rocking it thru the first 1/2. I definitely did not! Also, I need to quit buying lucky charms. It’s probably the worst bedtime snack!

kaitcrystalline

@savedbygrace1213 I can't remember the last time I had lucky charms!!

DS has come down with a virus from daycare. Covid neg which is good but still Croup is going around here. I myself have a soar throat and a bit of an ear ache. I HATE being sick and pregnant because you literally can't take anything except drink tea all day and such on cough drops. When I'm not pregnant I nip the slightest feeling of a cold coming on with meds.

scaredunprepared

@kaitcrystalline I hate being sick.  When I worked in schools I was sick all the time, and basically every cold lasted 2 weeks and ended up in a sinus infection no matter what I tried.  It was awful.  Feel better!

My mom took DD overnight because  neither of us slept all week because she has been up every hour every night.   I just needed 1 night of peace!  Go figure DD slept like an angel all night for my parents!  Why can't she do that at home????  Ugh.

brookert615

@kaitcrystalline So sorry about the virus from daycare! We are dealing with the same! RSV hit our home hard at the end of July and now a stomach flu just hit from daycare. Mucinex and claritin were lifesavers for me!

kaitcrystalline

@brookert615 yes! I just called my midwife and can up my tylonal dose and try robitussin so im hopeful about that. I hope you guys don't get hit with the stomach flu!

savedbygrace1213

Ugh stomach flu is the worst anytime, but especially when pregnant! Hope y’all can avoid it! There some kids out with it in our school already as well  

@kaitcrystalline praying you feel better soon!!

I also pay no attention to measurements of any kind
