Late night ladies...

Eris-Alexis

How's everyone doing?  Did ya'll have a good weekend?  I hope everyone on the east coast made it through the storm okay.

I am up, can't sleep, still nervous, and everybody has went to bed.

I'm exhausted!  Last week was the first week of school and 6 classes of 30 high school kids is super tiring, especially while pregnant!  I spent most of my weekend sleeping and catching up on housework.  Although DH and I did go wait in line at our favorite breakfast place on Sunday and it was fantastic!  We hadn't gone there in quite awhile, so I was looking forward to it all week long!

I'm up, but only because i was so sleepy when I came home from work that I napped.. which so messed up my nap.

That sounds exhausting!  Hurray for brunch (one of my favorite meals)!  We just recently found a new favorite breakfast place too.  What did you have?

I hate when that happens.  Aside from that, how are you doing?

Hello. I'm here. I'm okay. I was just about to make banana bread but realized that I never got that dang flour that prevented me from making cookies about a week ago. Idk why but ever since I have been pregnant I have been baking so much.

Hi ladies! I hope everyone is surviving the effects of the storm, that's a lot to deal with right after an earthquake.

I'm working on a critique for a client right now and also debating whether or not I need a snack considering I finished dinner 20 minutes ago. I am hungry already but I'm also getting weighed tomorrow at the OB so I don't want to pig out tonight! I know I'm teetering on the edge of having gained too much weight, at my last appointment I was up 30 lbs so I only have another 5 before they start getting mad at me. I'm pretty sure I have packed on at least 5 in the last few weeks, we'll see. I try not to weigh myself at home since it drives me nuts.

GL at the appointment tomorrow!  I'm a little terrified to see how much I have gained since my last appointment.  I feel like it may be a lot.

Hi Ladies! I'm here tonight! I'm good, we just had dinner, it was good but I'm so full and now I'm uncomfy- I didn't really eat that much. I also am so wishing I could feel movement. I can't imagine this baby is 4-5 inches long and I can't feel it wiggling! I try so hard, lol.

Gin- I can't believe you gained 30 pounds, I really just don't believe it, you look great! You're not over eating, you eat when you're hungry and I know you're good about that. I say go for the snack

anmagyari: I'm so sorry no one can come to your appointment with you. We'll be here thinking about you and with you in spirit in hugs! I'm sorry you're stressed out.

Luvmylab- I can't imagine doing that not pregnant, let alone tired and pregnant. I'd be a mess!

 

How was your dinner?  Did you guys find somewhere nice to go?

Nothing happened here. It my dish network did not even block up

SweetTurnip:

It was alright. It's always hard to find a restaurant here, but we went to an Irish Pub and I just had fish and chips, because it was all too "Irishy" for my pregnant self, lol. The fish had too much batter to where it's mushy inside. DH had a steak and it didn't have a ton of flavor, but was good steak, so it was good. We got together with DH's friend who lives out here, so now we're back at the hotel and they're talking shop! Good thing I have wifi!

How are you feeling now?

Good.  I am trying to work up the energy to cook dinner.  DH has a gig tonight so I'm on my own.  I had a decaf latte and meant to take a pic to send you, but I got distracted by an adorable dog.

That's probably true. And Eris I wish I liked baking something that I didn't like eating but sadly I love everything. I swear there are days when the only thing that sounds good are cupcakes or cookies and I have to force myself to eat actual food. I'm swear I am going to gain like 50lbs

Hi girl! I get totally uncomfortable after a meal too, then of course hungry an hour later. I hope you feel movement soon. 

And thank you for not believing my weight gain, I wish it weren't true, but it definitely is. I usually weigh more than people think I do, I've always been like that. I guess I am dense, lol. Right now I weigh about 175lbs, and the nurses still start with the bottom thing at 100lbs. I'm like, please we are way past that!

Oh they are doing great ever since I took my bra off. I can't tell if the pain I feel is from baby pushing on them or too tight of a bra or both. Sometimes they hurt when I have nothing on. I will be getting some bra extenders soon to see if that helps.

We definitely got super lucky. I checked the forecast on Saturday, and it said we'd be getting 60-65MPH winds and rain...but Sunday morning it had been downgraded to expecting 30MPH winds and rain. It just poured allllll day. There have been a few deaths confirmed and lots of flooding south of us, but we're alright up here.

I'm so glad you guys were safe.  We have a lot of family on the East Coast, so I have been watching anxiously all weekend.  So far, I think everyone we know has been safe.

Lol! I love it! I forgive you. I always seem to be lazy when DH is gone for dinner. Do you have the stuff to make an eggs+quesadilla? That sounds yummy, I love just scrambled eggs in a tortilla.

I am missing the tortillas.  I think I will have to pick some up when we go grocery shopping again.  I do have spinach ravioli which is probably what I will make.

What is spinach ravioli? It sounds amazing my mouth is watering. I need a cook. DH has been cooking for a while and we have the very basics, chicken, hamburgers, stir fry, and tonight I cooked so we had a Banquet Box dinner.

Me too! I hate to admit my pre-pregnancy weight, but I weighed about 197. I know I don't look it, even when I weighed 170ish people never believed me. Luckily I haven't gained any yet (the last time I was on a scale, I was down 3, but it was a scale I'd never been on), but seeing that number tip the scales over 200 will be really hard for me. The nurses always start it that low for me, too.

I guess that's better than the other way around. My mom always complains about the time she got weighed and they started her at 150 when she only weighed like 125, and the nurse said, "Oh, you look a lot heavier than you are!"

The Glucose testing/monitoring is hard, I dont understand the results.  My levels are high when I wake and low after I eat.

They are frozen ravioli from Rising Moon Organics.  They have spinach and tofu in them (the tofu is to simulate ricotta), and are vegan.  They are really good.  Rising Moon Organics has a bunch of different frozen pasta entrees, and all of the vegan ones I have tried so far have been fantastic.

I'm with you two on this. They always start low for me. I'm super worried that I'm going to be up a lot at my appt tomorrow. DH and I definitely indulged in some sweets while I was in the hospital. I crave chocolate, ice cream, and cupcakes ALL THE TIME. Tonight I'm going to try to calm the sweet tooth with strawberries. Here's hoping breastfeeding helps it melt away!

DH and I are probably going to put on a movie and go to bed early. My appt is at 8:30 so I have to get up relatively early to make it into the city at rush hour. I'll be around for a while though...

I'm right there with you all.  I've struggled with my weight for years because of my PCOS, but no one has ever guessed that I weigh as much as I do (or at least, they always guess lower...maybe to be nice).  Luckily at my Dr's office, you weigh yourself and report it to the nurse.  

Hazie, GL at your appointment tomorrow.  I hope it goes well and I can't wait to her your update.

What movie are you guys gonna watch? Hope your appointment goes well! 

I've almost considered making my husband take the scale away. My gain is really sporadic, so I'll feel like I'm doing great holding steady or gaining right on track, and then I'll randomly gain like 3 lbs in 2 days and freak out. It's happened a few times now, and then my gain goes back to slow and steady, but every time I see it I'm sure I'm going to gain that much constantly now. I'm such a dork. 

Not sure- something on NetFlix instant probably, we're watching some 9/11 documentary right now. Thanks (to you and Eris!) for the support about my appt tomorrow. I'm really hoping to be cleared to go back to half days at work for my sanity. I'm still contracting all the time, but if the consensus is that they're not changing my cervix than I'd rather get my tush off this couch.

I think as far as weight gain goes, as a woman it will never be easy. I definitely started this pregnancy above where I want to be due to residency, so that makes it harder. I think in the end though, we'll all forget about the weight gain when our babies are here, and the pounds will find their way back off.

I agree, the weight gain thing is hard.  I am hoping that I will be able to take it all off plus some.  And I am hoping that having LO will inspire both DH and I to be more active.

Man, I hate the nights when I have to give myself my shot.  At least I am getting better at it. 

Eris-Alexis

Aluenna:

That doesn't sound fun at all. Do you have to do it often? Needles don't really bother me, but that's when someone else is wielding them...I think it would be a much different story if I had to do it to myself. 

This was only the second time I have had to do it, but I know I will have to do more of them when they switch my meds at 34 weeks.  I thought pushing the meds would be the worst part because they burn when they go in, but it's actually the jabbing myself with a needle part that kind of sucks.  

Eris-Alexis

I'm headed to bed.  I'd like to try to get some sleep before DH gets back from his show, because I know he will wake me up and I will have a hard time getting back to sleep.

Have a good night everyone!
