Will you have me back?

ClaireOtoms · August 2013

4 months, 2 moves, 3 health care provider switches, several fights with internet companies, and a 30 pound weight gain later, I am back online and ready to play.

We are absolutely in love with our new home, our new town, and being so close to grandparents. There are tons of social outlets in our town for LO and I, and H has even joined the volunteer fire crew and made some buddies. The relief of finally being able to have social interaction with other human beings makes it worth all the hassle and stress of moving.

At my 20 week ultrasound there was only one normal-sized baby, and now I'm only measuring 4 cm high rather than 7. We found an amazing midwife nearby and after a lot of careful consideration have decided to go ahead and plan a homebirth for this little bean as long as I stay low-risk.

Other than that it's just business as usual, library story time and the blessed afternoon nap.

I've been lurking here and there on H's iphone, but I'm sure there's a lot I didn't catch. Anyone care to bring me up to date before I jump back in?

Welcome back, but I will let another Oct 13 mommy do the recap! I'm sure they would do a better job then I would

Welcome back!

Welcome back! I had wondered where you went!

Let me recap.... we are done with the morning sickness and now onto the swollen vag's, leaking boobs, kick counts, braxton hicks, and outfits to bring baby home in. Don't ask about the gew coming out of your boobs and please don't call it milk.... HAHA! Soon to come... what to pack for hospital, mucus plug, and OMG I am so uncomfortable :P Welcome back... dive right in. OH!... and it helps if you can GIF... even though I do not, it rocks if you can!

She had a temp gbcb and then did it for real. She hasn't posted anything, but you can see she has logged back on since then.

The past couple weeks have been who passed their glucose test and who failed and what it means. This week is nurseries and diaper bags. I'm totally loving the pics of the nurseries! So show it off if you've got one in progress or done!

Wasn't there a new poster with a sn like "horse face vag" or something? Or did I make that up?

And thanks for the recap. I've seen Loser around, what about Beach and Panda? Are they still around?

Yeah! I accidentally did a post & run because I had a class tonight and had forgotten to do a bunch of stuff until right after I posted. I am having a lot more success getting students here, too.

Doesn't failing the Glucose Tolerance Test mean you're glucose intolerant? WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!?! I need a link to that youtube double rainbow guy.

No nursery progress to speak of...I am a bad STM and haven't gotten around to that whole nesting thing yet.

:x I missed youuuuuuuuuu

@pandaglitter is around! and so is @BeachMama7693... sort of. Sometimes. Where IS she anyway?! We're labor buddies with @Scientist23 and @kdjudd, but Beach is a ditcher and had to go and have pregnancy complications and is 99.99% having a September baby.

PS. We can tag people now so they know when we're talking about them

ETA: FAIL. I got Beach's numbers wrong. Fixed it!

Welcome back! Sounds like you have been absent for good reasons.
