Silly FTM question as I wait until the very last day to enroll in my FSA... I am trying to figure out how much delivery will cost me and I'm pretty sure I have a good estimate. But this question popped in my head: if my insurance covers 48 hrs hospital stay for vaginal delivery, do they start counting when I am admitted during labor? Or is it 48 hrs after birth? If I am in labor for 36 hours at the hospital, I don't want to be kicked out 12 hrs later!!
Oh geez. I just realized that at this point in pregnancy with DD I was only five weeks away from having an outside baby. I don't know where second tri is going so fast but I can't believe I will be passing that milestone in a little over one month. (Positive thinking here.)

Well, looks like cream of wheat is still completely off the table for me. ::gross::
Eewwwww was it ever on the table for you!?
Hey cream of wheat and brown sugar is delicious! Add in some fruit yum. Love CoW with brown sugar and a little milk... mmm. Tasty! Of course, I put that on my oatmeal too, lol...
It's a total consistency thing for me. My throat would close up every time I tried it!

Cook little baby!!! Stay in there :-D Totally sending you "make it to 40" good vibes!
@Sisimama10 I'm so sorry hon. I'll be praying for you too. It's so hard when you can't just fix your mood.
Thanks ladies, you all are the best. I love our A14 group. I feel like a baby too, because I live in freaking California! It's 60 degrees and sunny right now! But the shortened days just kill me. I could never live in Alaska. I'd die. I'm going to try and get out and soak in some sun today, but light therapy never seemed to help me once it started to get bad. I'm just hoping this really is just S.A.D. And it's not being compounded by pre-postpartum depression. Because last year I did pretty well, but this year, not so much.
And BTW 7k comments!! I predict we will be at 10k by two weeks!!!

@BiggerinRealLife so sorry you are feeling blue. I struggled with depression when I was younger and now deal with SAD occasionally. I was really concerned about PPD since I was predisposed last time. I ended up with a little SAD during the second trimester but then didn't experience PPD (I did have plenty of struggles and crying sessions but that's was just from lack of sleep and BFing issues). Hang in there but don't be to anxious about the future because you aren't "destined" to go through PPD. I found light therapy really helps. The best thing that works for me the most is a consistent sleep schedule, clean eating and regular exercise.
@poru I just saw this, and it helped a lot. Thank you! I am a bit of a worry wart at times.

Quick question - is Motherhood and Destination Maternity basically the same store (same parent company maybe?) ? Their websites and sales are nearly identical. PSA - their Jessica Simpson jeans are BOGO 50%, so I'm going to suffer through this indigestion and get a couple pairs.
I believe so.
Edit hit post to soon. Kind of like how Gap and Old Navy are owned together.

The breast pump posts make me sad...ACA doesn't cover military, so our insurance isn't required to do breast pumps. I want a cool breast pump!! But guess Ill be sticking with my cheap manual one that I bought before
End of the year in Denmark means the winning Eurovision song is played a million times. For those that don't know about the Eurovision song contest, its kinda fun while it happens. Then you want to kill the winning song 1 week later.

Where are you? A couple of ladies in my pregnancy Facebook group are trying to sell The ones that they are not using and they got pretty good ones from insurance so they are selling them cheap
Well that is clearly unethical.

I made an impulse purchase at target - they had a swing/glider for 50% off! Almost 90% of the reviews I read give it 1 star and say "Never again!". That'll teach me for not researching first. I'll return it! I did however get a breast pump for 50% off! Not a fancy brand of anything, but it looks like it will do the job for pumping at work! (Sorry homeless shelters, I can't ethically donate it to you).
I am so damn tired of feeling like I have something productive to say, and then by the time I get to this thread I forget what it was!
On a side note when I logged into the bump just now it was talking about 2014 popular names. Apparently spices are going to be popular Rosemary, Sage, Bay, Poppy. Also boys names as middle names for girls...hmm
OMG I totally hear you. I can't get it to calm down until about 4:00 a.m. every night/morning to fall asleep, even with meds. I'm asking my dr. for a priolosec prescription next week.

@KendraColeslaw Do it! You will not regret it. I'm wearing my Jessica Simpson skinny jeans right now and they are so comfortable.

Ugh my feet are swollen. Hopefully they go down overnight. Do I call and bug my dr's office tomorrow regardless, or only if the swelling doesn't go down?
@kcp913 I don't think you have to worry about it unless it is very sudden and doesn't improve with a full night of rest and elevation. If you don't have a history of pre-e or other risk factors, you could probably just hit up a CVS to check your blood pressure. Without a history of pre-e I doubt your doc would be concerned about swelling unless your BP is also up. If your BP wasn't normal, I would call the doc at that point.

@kendracoleslaw my nips hurt sooo freaking bad lately ESP when cold even the slightest movement is painful
@biggerinreallife I read one and a 5th of the books and have been discussing but I always feel a little insecure to start off the conversation like I'm going to sound like an idiot. And just cuz you post the questions doesn't mean you can't chime in!!
To all:should I even open the pump thread? It exploded since the last time I logged on and am wondering if its even with it...
We finished painting the nursery today so I'm going to aw some pics
DH is working and didn't call me to tell me he got to his appointment safe. So for the payback of worrying I called & told him my mom was driving me to the hospital because my water broke... Ha his reaction was so great! Is it bad that I can't wait till it really happens so I can see him worry & wig out in person! (Okay, I can wait for 10 more weeks for these LO's!)

Missed you :x
