What's going on with you today? Feeling weird or ok? Anything to rant or brag about?
Borrowing from yesterday's "craziness" thread, how safe do you generally feel (without any maternity-induced paranoia) where you live?

Re: Tuesday Check In
I feel very safe - nice residential cul de sac. I have also had trouble getting in my house before (damn garage door code) and my neighbor came to investigate - didn't recognize my friend's car. Nice to know we are being looked after a bit!
Borrowing from yesterday's "craziness" thread, how safe do you generally feel (without any maternity-induced paranoia) where you live? I feel pretty safe. We live in a residential neighborhood. We also have a security system so that alwas gives me extra assurance especially when DH has to spend the night away.
My crazy hunger has kicked in. I eat and eat and then eat again. Just finished a chicken ceaser salad with tomato and a side of pickles (little one still loves his pickles) and I'm STILL freakin hungry
. Last night I had a normal dinner - chicken, potato and extra veg. Then 15 minutes later I had a giant bowl of Special K - like a monster size out of a small mixing bowl. This little guy is already gonna eat us out of house and home!!!
ETA: I was so obsessed with my hunger earlier I didn't answer part 2
I feel good in my neighborhood but I also live in bumble squat Switzerland where nothing ever happens!

We moved into a new neotraditional neighborhood last year. It's really great to have a bunch of neighbors who are also all very into living in an actual community where everyone is friendly and watches out for each other. So I do feel very safe here.
Feeling pretty good today! Ever since my a/s on Friday, I've been feeling the baby moving around a lot more. Not sure if its because I finally got to see LO on the screen moving around and, before that, I wasn't feeling much of anything. It's definitely starting to feel more real with these movements. No "kicks" or "jabs" just yet, just mostly rolling around in there, bumping into me. I was lying in bed last night and put DH's hand on my lower abdomen, pressing in gently with his fingertips, and he was able to feel movement twice! Thrilled!
As far as our neighborhood is concerned, it's ok. It's neither good nor bad. I'm not crazy about being home along when DH is travelling, but I just make sure to lock all the doors. I don't think we'll be staying here for long (probably will move within the next couple of years, just not sure where yet) so I'm not so worried about LO growing up here.

I'm feeling ok this morning, so far I'm awake and feel like I could actually be productive today. lol. I actually fell last night as well. I knocked over the dog's water bowl, and then slipped in the water. But I landed on my left side and butt, so I'm pretty sure Nemo is ok. I have a OB appointment on Thursday so I will let my doc know.
Borrowing from yesterday's "craziness" thread, how safe do you generally feel (without any maternity-induced paranoia) where you live? I love my neighborhood. My husband and I are friends with our immediate neighbors, so I feel like we are pretty safe.

Meh, I woke up nauseas again. I swear this baby is trying to kill me.
I live in a city and the area I live in is busy. I feel ok, about it, but do worry (even before pg) about the fact that we are right on a busy street and that it's first floor. We are currently shopping for houses, I'm hoping we find one in the next six months.

I am actually feeling better today. Got fussed at by the OB yesterday that my "weight gain trajectory" is to high so I need to stay away from all carbs
Borrowing from yesterday's "craziness" thread, how safe do you generally feel (without any maternity-induced paranoia) where you live? I don't love our neighborhood. Our section of garden homes but there are some shady apartments and duplexes on the other end of the street that are shady as f&*k. I feel safe in our house, we have cameras and security lighting (and guns).
What I really hate about my neighborhood it the street getting to it is so narrow that it is like playing chicken every time I am on it with another vehicle. If I see a garbage truck then forget about it!
My paranoia is more in public parking lots and in our parking garage at work.
How safe do I feel where I live? Pretty safe most of the time. We live near a school around lots of families, but it is a pretty transient area with lots of people moving in and out, especially in the summer. I worry more about bad drivers down our residential street (people use it as a cut-through) than most other crime. My DH's car window was broken by a Mikes Hard Lemonade bottle when we woke up one morning a few years ago, but we're guessing that was local teens joyriding and being dumb.
Borrowing from yesterday's "craziness" thread, how safe do you generally feel (without any maternity-induced paranoia) where you live? DH claims that we living in "freaking Mayberry". Our community's monthly newsletter crime blotter is typically along the lines of "some youths were seen hanging out at a playground on xxx date after dark". Occasionally, we have something more serious, but rarely.
Married 10/06
Baby Girl "C" arrived on 10/07/14 (39 weeks, 6 days)
I am also super excited as I just found out my brother is having a baby boy, one week after I am due!
I feel very safe at home, and well I can't wait to sleep in my own bed after 10 days away. There is nothing like the comfort of your own bed!!
How safe do you generally feel where you live? I feel good about where we live. There are some random kids who are obnoxious but I feel like that is going to happen anywhere that more than one teenager is. Overall we have a very low rate of crime and I never worry about walking my dog or anything and leaving my door unlocked and garage door wide open. I may be a little too lazy about security sometimes but I have lived in this town my whole life and feel like I know enough people that someone has my back. My neighbors on each side are people who went to school with my parents and my parents are like a block away. I'm good!
@MrsSarahRenee I actually did end up calling this morning. They said as long as I wasn't having cramping or spotting, then everything is fine. With all of the amniotic fluid our baby girl is nestled in, they weren't concerned, especially since I didn't hit my abdoment. Baby girl has been really active today so I am feeling a lot of relief!
I am very sore, though. My right knee really hurts and my hips hurt, too. I have been taking a pre-natal yoga class that I love but I may have to skip this week because I don't think I can do the positions on my knee. I may have to call them and ask their thoughts, because I don't want to ruin the class for everyone else.
Neighborhood: I feel safe. We have an alarm system for when DH is traveling. And a medium dog that sounds worse then she really is. We also live in a safe residential neighborhood. So overall I feel safe.
Thanks for the kind words.
