Symptoms: I. FEEL. LIKE. SHIT. Tired 100% of the time, constant pelvic and pubic pain, sciatica is a cruel bitch, my back is killing me, my stretch marks have stretch marks, I can barely wipe myself, so I busted out the peri bottle, I'm in Poise pads 24/7, I can't grocery shop alone, and I have to pee all the time, usually on myself. Also, I still have evening sickness, so I can't eat after 4pm with the exception of graham crackers and yellow Gatorade. Basically, I'd be okay with her deciding to come around Christmas. She'll be 37 weeks, and I'd rather have post-c/s pain at this point than the pain I have now. At least that goes away sooner and I can take effective pain meds. Tylenol is shit.
Cravings: aforementioned yellow Gatorade and graham crackers.
News: I'm never getting pregnant again. This is it. I'm done. Two and through, bitches.
So sure, you can live vicariously through me. It isn't all bad, though. I do love the movements she's doing now that we're past the jabbing stage. I love the intimacy of being the only one usually who feels her, and the look on DS' face when he rubs my belly and feels a kick is utterly priceless.
This post has cured any worries that I made the wrong decision having my tubes tied. @thepretzelchick I was sick like that 24/7 in the first trimester with the boys and it was terrible. You have helped me remember. Now I need to get DH to schedule that vasectomy so that we are double protected! Lol.
I feel great for the most part, but also feel enormous. We FaceTimed with my parents this morning and my mom told me I looked chubby - gee, thanks. I'm 30 weeks pregnant. I walked around Sea World all day today and the only thing that hurt were my feet, probably from carrying around an extra nearly 20 pounds.
I had a growth scan Tuesday and baby boy is measuring in the 82nd percentile - the estimate is about 4 pounds now. No signs of any abnormalities other than the heart defects. We have our next fetal echo a week from today.
Oh, in terms of DD feeling kicks - she is on my lap all the time when baby is kicking and she is completely oblivious
BFP #1 9/2010 (lost our baby at 21 weeks)
BFP #2 8/2011 (ectopic pregnancy)
BFP #3 10/2011 (chemical pregnancy)
BFP #4 12/2011 (Abigail born 8/15/12)
BFP #5 5/2013 (Griffin born 1/23/14 with heart defects, now repaired!)
Symptoms - lets see moody as all get out, cranky, tired, RLP is a mother this time around (I mean hello you have streched once)
Cravings - not really craving anything
I got an extra U/S the week of Thanksgiving because the dr couldn't find the HB with the doppler. Baby was good just really really low
Gender - We won't know until after Jan. I feel like this baby is way lower than Leah was, but that is good because I couldn't breathe with Leah after about 8 weeks of being KU.
