Had ultrasound today for that axillary mass in armpit. Typical me, I tried to have the tech diagnose me but she said it was coded as regular order and will hear back in a few days. She did say she will change the code to stat if there was something she saw wrong I or didn't seem right. She kept it as regular orders so that was good but I'm still like..wtf is this!?
I feel like I'm almost cruising into 3rd tri roller coaster ~ tired some days and so much energy the other days. I think I did over do it at work yesterday because I had a small amount of brown spotting today so I'm taking it easy for a couple days.
I more work day and I'm off for 5 days. Lord knows I need it.
none
ground prime and cooked medium rare
lettuce, onions, bacon, fried egg, avocado
good homemade ranch dressing
seasoned and buttered bun.
I LOVE a good burger and paired with fries!
I’d probably go with a roast beef po-boy. Drowning in gravy, like you need a bib drowning. Some debris fries and a cold fountain drink. Mmmm 😋
@b_1029 glad you're feeling a bit better covid wise! And don't fe guilty for enjoying your solo time! Also your DD and her sippy cups... toddlers 🙄🙄
@fireflyz_56 glad to hear your doing better covid wise as well! Good luck with your anatomy scan!
Est. Due Date / Weeks + Days: 23 wk, 5/16
@b_1029 @fireflyz_56 happy to hear your are both feeling better!
@MrsLaLaBug ugh I hear you on the house struggles. We've totally switched countertop companies and this new one is promising us they'll be done by 1/28. Let's hope they actually stick to their word.
@pajamstagrams I have my glucose test in 2 weeks too and I've only heard horror stories so definitely not looking forward to that.
Rants/Raves: I am so ready to move into our house! We installed the toilet in our half bath yesterday and I love how it turned out. Here are some before and afters:
Questions: How does one go about finding a pediatrician? I've seen some recommendations in a local FB group, but not sure if I should interview them or just book an appt with the one I like best from the recommendations.
2. I ended up choosing a NP instead of an MD. The NP I chose is a young(ish) mother like myself. she works at a clinic with MDs and can do everything they do. If my kid needs a spinal tap or a major surgery then sure, I want the most experienced person and I can ask for that if the time comes. Pediatricians spend a lot of their training in school with SICK kids. However, in the first year of baby’s life they have tonnnnns of “well child” visits. They talk about sleep and feeding and weight gain, etc. The first MD I had was just not helpful with that kind of practical stuff. I would rather have my super personable NP, who has a kid the same age as my kid, who is a mom, who’s walking through the same struggles as me, than an MD (at least for well child stuff)
all that to say, your kid will mostly just have well child visits. So I’d go with a provider you like and respect and trust and get along with. Also, it’s nice to have a clinic that encourages parents to call with questions. My clinic has a phone nurse that will answer my FTM questions like “how much Tylenol can I give” or “she has this rash but it’s probably fine… right?”. Having the phone all option made me feel so much more at ease!
I think I just called the pediatrician a couple months before I was due, and asked what I should do about first appointments, and they just told me to call back to schedule when she was born. 🤷♀️

FTM
A back to back day 2/29. Quick scan, echocardiogram, and regular OBGYN check in for 28w.
Not bad. Finally feeling flutters this past week for sure! Tired, but nothing excessive. Left hip discomfort.
I'm most of the way through the baby blanket. I'm crocheting. Wicked excited.
Rant: I won't be able to visit my Mom up north before baby gets here. I haven't seen my Mom in going on 4 years, bummed.
I had no idea what to put until I realized that I haven't had my favorite most basic sandwich from back home in years!! A ham dagwood topped with bacon from the local store my cousin owns. My fancy answer is a lobster roll with just enough mayo to hold it together with a little Lettuce in the split top hotdogs roll (lightly toasted). As for a burger, not picky, I'll eat them all!!
An Italian sandwich. Ciabatta bread, salami, pepperoni, any other cured meat. Pepper Jack cheese. Pepperoncinis. Tomato. Shredded lettuce. Some zesty sauce/aioli. Nothing healthy whatsoever.
Rave - Weaning the 2yo went way better than anticipated. Next up: potty training
Chicken burger with mayo, lettuce & tomato. Mmm.

FTM
Well we were supposed to have our 24 week appt (glucose check) today, however, we had to move it to next Friday.
Sick 😷. Tested positive for COVID yesterday.
Rant: Having COVID is making me feel very stressed about the baby. Plus not being able to take hardly any meds is HORRIBLE. Sore throat, headache, and congestion are my primary symptoms. Vomitted once yesterday. Thankfully no fever so far for me! DH tested positive Wednesday and battled fecer on and off Tues night - Thur afternoon. He still feels bad today but has been fever free!
Rave: We have made A LOT of nursery progress! Crib, changing table, toy shelf, and dresser up and organized. Still a lot to do, but I'm happy with how it's going. DH has been so helpful!
Not currently 😊
I'm pretty basic. Beef patty, cheese, bacon, and egg on a bun. Not a huge fan of veggies or sauces on my burger. I think it's a texture thing.
Rave- We are business owners, so in the event that he does lose his job we will be okay. A set back financially, but okay! So I am thankful for all the blessing God has provided for us in our lives despite the challenges we face.
A BigMAc. I CRAVE them! I didn't even eat fast food before, but I will drive 30 minutes to town just to get a BigMac and fry lol.
