Good morning BR mommas!!
How did you sleep?
Any new pregnancy symptoms, cravings, or aversions?
Upcoming appointments, milestones, or updates? (Ticker change?)
QOTD: (GTKY) Pre/Post pregnancy what kind of styles of clothing do you tend to wear? Are you all about fashion or function? What are some of your favorite "go-to" styles?
Re: *** Wednesday Bedrest Check-in ***
So, last night I thought I felt pretty good and I wanted to attempt to go to Wal-Mart.... Dh was with me so I felt certain that I sold be ok.... I made it about 20mins then I thought I was going into labor. I had several contractions, my back was killing me, my feet got ridiculously swollen; I was miserable:( I don't know if being on bedrest for so long had something to do with the inability to move around or if it more because of the fact that I'm stupid huge!! Im guessing it's probably both
QOTD: I'm definitely all about function and comfort when it comes to style. My idea of "dressing up" is a nice pair of jeans, a decent top, and a pair of stylish sandals. I do have several dresses but they're reserved for weddings, funerals, and holidays.... Any other day I'm in my oldest most comfortable jeans, a t-shirt, a flip flops.
I'm not new. I just hate The Bump.
No new cravings/aversions.
I have an appt tomorrow and I'm so excited! Apart from seeing my little guy on ultrasound (I hope the bpp is okay!), my mom and I are going to stop by a local store so I can buy a nursing bra. The store is boutique-y and they have a bunch of cute baby things so I'm excited to browse a bit as well since I can't really go shopping otherwise.
QOTD: I typically go for comfort over style. If I want to look nice, I'll probably wear dark jeans, a cute/somewhat dressy top, and fun earrings. I wish I knew how to incorporate other accessories (like scarves) but I feel like that sort of thing just looks weird on me!
No new appointments today. But I'm officially 28 weeks and in the third trimester! Next goal is April 23 when I'm 32 weeks. I always tell my husband whoo whoo it's hump day! Lol
QOTD: I go for function. Chasing after a toddler and now a 4 year old leaves little time for being fashionable. Plus I want to be comfortable.
DS #1 born January 2010. DS #2 due June 2014.
I was up with restless legs and contractions for 1.5 hours last night, but managed to get back to sleep.
Testing and u/s went great today. LO is estimated at 5lbs 6oz today, 8oz bigger than his brother was when we brought him home. I'm nesting like crazy but in small burst... washing A+A blankets and changing pad covers that came in the mail today and feeling like we're getting so close!
QOTD: I'm a big cami and cardi girl. For work I'll pair them with khakis or black pants and for w/e with jeans. Pregnancy style isn't all that different except I'm doing more leggings/dresses and also loving maxi skirts right now. I'm a total prep style wise.
