Sorry for an extremely late update. Our appointment was 3 hours long.....yeah. Little man looks good and is growing well. Not as big as I would like but we are still on track. I am so thankful for that. I am trying to figure out how to post a pic of him. I have to have growth scans from here on out to make sure he is growing. I have had one baby with IUGR so we are concerned. The good news is that as far as we can tell all my health issues are not causing him any issues. I have to keep a close eye on my issues so that they don't start hurting him. Thank you all so very much for the T&Ps!! I cannot tell you how much they meant to us!

A convo with DH
"Are there girl lions?"
"Um, yes where do you think baby lions come from?"
"I don't know, I thought the girls were tigers. Now that I say it, it sounds stupid"

Did I really create a human with this dude? @-)

ETA: he was asking about the girl lion not me.

Lmao my mom said almost the same thing a year ago. She totally thought tigers were girls and lions were boys. We just kind of stared at her... She has NEVER lived it down. We bring it up pretty much as often as possible.

Had a doctor appointment today, and have another one scheduled for Monday... My BP numbers were high, and they want to do a 24 hour urine catch. It's not unusual for my BP to be higher at the doctor's office (white coat syndrome much?) but they also found some protein and sugar in my urine. Fingers crossed it was just my crappy diet today that set everything off. I knew I should have had the salad for lunch!

Good luck at your appointment. Hopefully everything turns out fine.

Oh and my dog farted. Loud.. like a real human fart. I didn't even know they could do that.

This is my dogs...both of them...ALL. THE. TIME. My rottie is the best, cause she'll be lying down with her front paws crossed, then with this blank stare lets out this seriously 30-45 second long fart...she's such a fuckin' lady.

My boxer will totally drive-by fart, or will act like he wants attention and come up to you, then fart and walk away. Ass.

Sometimes my dog farts so loud when he's going up the stairs that it scares him and he runs away from them. The result is a train of running stair farts in quick succession...it's hilarious.

I'm totally imagining this in my head....

/dead!

DH just snapped when I asked him to come watch TV with me. So stupid of me. I should have never asked him to do something on a Friday night because he has too much work to do. Even though he had pretty much all day to do it. I told him how his snapping bothered me and he just said that I have been snapping at him for the past few weeks. Oh. So it's totally justified then. My bad. I need a good Netflix show to watch to take my mind off things.

Oy. I just love it when they try to justify their actions by saying "but you did it first, and for longer!" Hopefully he'll come to his senses and realize that was an asshat thing to say and will apologize later.

As for a good Netflix show, if you're into crime dramas, DH and I just started watching "The Killing" - I guess it's an AMC show - about a Seattle detective who puts off moving out of state to marry her fiance in order to solve a teenage girl's murder. We're only two episodes in so far, and we're totally hooked! There are 3 seasons up...

Woooo 500 pages!!! We are truly amazing women, who are capable of anything. In other news, I think I just went through a time machine. One minute it was 4:00 and I was just closing my eyes for a minute, the next it was 5:30 and DH was suddenly home, the next it was 7:00 and he was getting back from the gym. I swear, my couch is a time machine.

I wish I could nap like that! I try to and my brain goes overdrive about things I should be doing so I just get up and do nothing. It's a lose lose.

Boob question: My nipples are getting a little dry and itchy and I got the suggestion to just buy some nipple butter/cream now, since I plan to use it in a few months anyway... My question is what brand/type/ingredients did you BTDT moms love?

I use coconut oil. I have the same problem right now.

@Aviola329 my dog is named Dodger also! Enjoy Disneyland! I'm sure dodger will have a good time playing while you're gone

BiggerinRealLife · February 2014

@J&NL I was NEVER a napper and it's still really rare. Hoping this newfound ability carries over to after the baby is here. I can never turn off my mind either!

J&NL · February 2014

@BIRL- I will say, when DD was born and I first started BF I napped all the time. It really is exhausting those first few weeks.

"The Killing" is a decent show. The Rosie Larson case takes up the first two season and it does drag a tad, but watching it all together without commercials I think would make it flow better. The third season is good, but it's a different case all together, so its different. Definitely worth watching though.

@Tasha575 That's awesome that your students had such faith in you.

My pubic bone popped three times today. I didn't even know it could DO that. Kinda hurt, but also relieved a lot of the pressure I've ha there the past few days. Did anyone know it could do that?

Reaching a new stage. Mild anxiety. Mildly tired of being pregnant but not anywhere near ready for a baby.

Had a dinner date tonight w/RubiksElf... *sigh* it's so nice to finally have a mommy friend!!

katieharpiceland · February 2014

So hungry!! I keep wanting to go back to sleep. I slept so bad. But every time I get comfortable and about to fall asleep, the rumble comes back. Baby's a growin!

JessieAlbin · February 2014

Ow ow mother eff ow. The hips, y'all. I could cry they hurt so bad tonight. No sleep for this girl, I just keep dreaming of scenarios in which it would be rational to be in so much discomfort. Get up for work already, DH, I wanna flop around miserably without feeling bad about keeping you awake. Apparently I overdid it at work lastnight and finding a few minutes to sit down a few times in a busy shift is not as optional as I thought.

My hips kill sometimes, and are worse when I lie on my side. My midwife suggested putting pillows under your right hip, so, you're kind of on your back, but not really. Easier if you have a pregnancy pillow I guess. Also, a warm shower or bath?? I'm sorry you're going through that. It sucks!!

thomas930 · February 2014

Warning, there is some complaining below.

So, DH has to work on older DS's bedroom today, its still not cleaned out and still needs to be painted before he moves into it. For whatever reason DH can't seem to work on this if the kids are in the house so now I have to find a way to keep the kids busy out of the house long enough for him to actually get something done in there. And I know that it wont all get done today...this wont be the last Saturday I have to do this.

This is not my idea of a fun Saturday and it's already put me in a crappy mood.

snmetz7 · February 2014

So I think my pelvic pain is due to a torn or pulled muscle in my pelvis... I can kind of feel it! Yeow!

Can you use a pottery barn coupon at PBK? They just sent 20% and I want my diaper bag dangit.

No idea it did that either until mine did it the other day. That never happened my other pregnancies.

Why do the landscapers insist on coming here early on a Saturday to cut our grass? They always come before 8. Sometimes before 7:30

Mourning the loss of John Goodman and The Dude in my sig.

I become immediately alarmed that John Goodman has died when I read this! Whew.

deidremaria · February 2014

Fuck!!!!! I told my bf that I'd go grocery shopping today but I just realized it's the first of the month which means the grocery stores are all gonna be packed! Idk what to do. Normally I'd wait a couple days but we may die of starvation if I do.

katieharpiceland · February 2014

Feeling bummed out today. I know taking a shower and going out will help, but, can't manage to get off the couch. I know its hormones, and I know distracting myself is a good thing to get over it. I need to go and practice for my last concert, (outside of the orchestra) which is a week from Sunday.

Definitely the worst mood day this pregnancy so far!! :-(

tamaraaaa · February 2014

Just registry stalked and got SO EXCITED. Someone bought the one color of CD I really really wanted! So silly to be this happy, but I can't help it...

I had no idea but that kind of sounds awesome. I'm a big fan of popping any bones though. I want to go to the chiro just so they can pop my entire body.

J&NL · February 2014

@joytomylifex That's awesome!! I really hope someone buys the CD I have on my registry. I'll be surprised if they do though!

Emily041285 · February 2014

Worst heartburn/indigestion I have ever experienced at 1 am this morning. Finally after about 30 minutes of walking around it finally went away. Poor DH didn't know what was going on when I walked out to the living room in tears. But I was so impressed, he started doing all the coping techniques we've been practicing for labor. Almost glad that happened. I feel like we're prepared now.

Lindsay808 · February 2014

DH's uncle passed away yesterday. He was only 51 and had a sudden heart attack in the living room next to his wife. He had passed by the time the ambulance got there. T&P would be appreciated. It is all so sad. We just saw him at our wedding in July and stayed at their house a few weeks after.

thomas930 · February 2014

So sorry for your loss @Lindsay808. T&P's for you and your family.
