We are going on a "last" date night too with two other couples to Portillo's. Has anyone been there? I just realized they are a chain, but I've never been.
ETA: Okay, here I was thinking we were going to some fancy Italian place. Just looked up the menu and it's hot dogs and burgers...
OMG GET THE CHEESE FRIES. And chocolate cake shake. And beef sandwich if you like that. Or hamburger. But for sure cheese fries and shake!!!!! I'm so jealous!
I want my maternity leave to start now. I'm tired of putting on real clothes everyday and being socially polite to my co-workers. I called in sick on Wednesday after being up all night with reflux and it was FABULOUS to not have to get dressed and be able to nap or get things accomplished. My plan right now is to work until the Thursday before my RCS.
Thanks for all the wishes! He's fine and placenta appears fine. NST took a bit longer bc he was sleeping at first, and I got lectured by 3 nurses I need to eat more. Thanks for that.
@Nicb13 I like your style. I'm trying to just stay chill and enjoy myself, too.
I've been working hard on a bunch of stuff so today I decided to watch Harry Potter all day and possibly get my craft supplies out and see if I can make something. Not sure what, yet.
Back at triage today. BP is up, down, up again. +1protein in urine. Hooked up to monitors and waiting on labs to come back. Dr. Says I probably won't be pregnant for more than another week. Hope I don't end up with a csection
I just had a chocolate chip granola bar for a snack and there was ONE chocolate chip in it. One. It wasn't even generic brand! I am irrationally upset about this.
Also, DH just sent me a picture of my favorite slippers that our dogs decided to eat this morning. They never eat shoes...why now! I was going to take those babies to the hospital
@GretchenWeiners7
I feel your pain on the dogs! I've been in the hospitol since Monday & my Jack Russell terrier has chewed up the molding around the fireplace, removed 90% of the potting soil out of our palm tree, chewed one of the legs on our dining room table, chewed up 2 rungs of our upstairs banister, chewed a hole in the water jug we use to water the plants, which leaked all over our kitchen floor, destroyed a metal door stopper for the front door & shredded & destroyed a cardboard box! And, she's refusing to eat! WTH! She never does this kind of stuff normally, I hate to see what I will be coming home to a week from now with two babies in tow! Oh & that's total bs about the granola bar!
Me: 37, DH: 42 Married March 22, 2003 TTC since early 2006, Fertility treatments since 02/2013 First Pregnancy with Twins EDD 10.24.2014
My manager just took a large group of us to lunch to celebrate my last day in the office! So sweet, but now I'm feeling a bit out of sorts because I have to finalize quite a few things!! I felt like taking a picture of my meal and sending it to the nurses who were yelling at me earlier.
@Tickettuesday That drawing is amazing. I think you need a special board artist badge. So, you know, make yourself something cool? I think @crawford411 should put that pic in her siggy! And I'm glad you had a good day at work, lady!
5 cycles of "TTC" - 3 intentional, 2 not so intentional. 5 BFPs. My rainbow arrived 10/15/14. TFMC 08.02.13 at 19+ weeks. Everyday I grieve for my little Olive.
Finally got to eat! Shitty hospital food but something. DH is on a Sbuxs run now.
@irisheyes317 T&P that it comes down.
Re: eye ointment...in some states you can't refuse it/CPS will question you. The theory behind why not is it makes LOs vision blurry for an hour or so. It can be safely declined if you know your std status (can't remember the exact disease right now), but it's really not a big deal.
I had this conversation with my OB the other day. I think it depends on where you live and your hospital. Our hospital treats it as a law as of right now and require they eye treatment. The vitamin K shot is optional; however it sounds like the risks of avoiding the shot are greater than any side effects of the shot.
Ummm...so my cousins baby mama just posted this on facebook... She is due in November with her THIRD daughter (the other two are 2 and 4)...they had a third baby shower, too. Classy...
Same here, yoga stretches really seem to help. Getting down on the floor and really stretching it out. Also laying on my back with my feet up on the couch for a few minutes gives me some relief.
I just figured out where the following terms/spellings came from: Jalopy, hospitol, and lady's. I had no idea how funny this board was...and I should probably return a few grammar points to some of the regulars.
You miss so much when you only read occasionally! Hopefully I don't dredge up any bad memories, but the hospitol bag thread made me cry. I may be emotional these days, but I have never been so entertained by the musings of complete strangers. I sincerely regret not joining in until a few days ago!

DH just called me after the slipper/dog drama and was like "Hey just wanted to check on how you're doing, I hope your day gets better. By the way, is your gmail app working?" And I was all "I can't check it while I'm on the phone...why wouldn't it be" And he just said his wasn't so he was wondering. Knowing that I would check when I hung up with him. Sneaky man sent me an Ugg giftcard for new slippers :x

That is soooo sweet & thoughtful!! No TPs for him today!
I love my ugg slippers, but hate that they run so damn small.
My old ones were Ugg too and that's partially why I was so bummed about my dogs eating them! I swear they're the most comfy things ever. But also hate that they run small because I have giant feet to begin with, and it only makes me feel more giant.
Ugh me too. It's the worst while at work since I sit in a cubicle all day. I discovered this little nerf stress ball I've had lying around at my desk here and wedging it between my chair back and the problem spot has helped. Mini DIY massage!
I just ran out of nursing pads and probably won't be able to get to a store that carries them till tomorrow night.
:-S
Am I going to be extra leaky for the entirety of my bf-ing?
I was extremely leaky for the first few months but It eased and I didn't have to use any pads at all after about 5 months. I don't know the average time for most though.
You guys are making me want to go out to eat.. I don't want to cook. But I am also really trying to behave with my budget right now. We have been eating out too much
Y'all, I had a fuckitall moment at work, cleared my desk, gave paralegal final instructions, set up Outlook out of office, and changed my voicemail. I declared today my last day of work for the year. Since Bossman doesn't come to the office or answer his phone, I sent him a text that I am officially on maternity leave. That was an hour and a half ago and he hasn't responded.
I haven't felt this good, mentally and physically, in MONTHS.
::two chest pumps and a peace sign for Jenn:: ~ MrsJudgeyPants
Since I've run out of things to do and the weathers crappy, I decided to shop the baby out. She was probably just waiting for the right ruffle butt diaper cover to convince her to come out
Oh man now that I'm finally caught up on this thread, I hope everyone gets to feeling better! Good luck to everyone having babies today and hope everyone that has had their babies had safe and happy deliveries. Absolutely LOVE the hulk uterus!!! Once I got to page 5 I had to stop to get some cookies and cream ice cream due to all the talking about sweets, so thanks ladies!
I usually make the 1st page because I have to get DD up and ready for school but after my awful sleep last night DH got up and did it! Felt amazing!! I didn't have to get out of bed till 9 due to doctors appointment. My appointments are all about peeing in a cup ,getting measured, and hearing LO's heartbeat, then I'm out the door. After my appointment today we went and pre-registered and toured the hospital so I felt really accomplished today. Now I'm tired and ready for a nap!
Random question and help please, I cannot figure out how to add a photo on mobile app, so if someone out there can explain this to me shoot me a message please!
Dinner: DH offered to make stuffed manicotti. He even went to grocery store himself and got the ingredients. I'm pretty sure it's all because we fought this morning... But I'll take it.

ok...ok... I just asked DH to stop on the way home to get a package of chicken breast for chicken alfredo.... he says "how do you feel about Alfredo sans the chicken?" come on man!
Soo.... I'm not caught up on the randoms yet (sorry guise) but I had to post because I had an appt with my MFM today (I'm 37+5), and my BP was elevated a bit, it was a couple weeks ago as well. No protein in my urine, blood work is normal, but my Dr decided she wants to deliver at 38 weeks because of my BP. So we go in TOMORROW NIGHT to start induction. Holy crap guise!! I'm kind of freaking out. I'm having a baby this weekend!
I am about to flip. These contractions that have been 8 minutes apart for over a day now suddenly jumped to 5 min. So DH went to take SS over to FIL (we told him last night we would most likely have to bring him there today) and FIL will not answer phone and isn't home. Finally talk to MIL who is at work and it turns out he went fishing!! #-o if this was anybody else I would just drop it, I don't expect everyone to sit around waiting for me to go into labor in case we need them. But FIL lost his job about 3 years ago and has never started working again because he literally fishes 5-6 times a week. He doesn't even try to find a job. Him & MIL are living extra tight on her income and he's too busy fishing to care. Sorry rant over, just can't believe he went fishing when we specifically said we'd be bring ss over today
For your FIL:
Your post also reminded me to remind DH to tell FIL that when we put him on alert, he has to be ready since he's our person (he's also retired).

I'm glad everything's ok!

Even if my doctor recommended It for me to take it. No.....just no.

Thanks for the pre-birthday wishes, lady's!
I just want to hold my LO, hopefully these couple weeks fly by and we'll have her.

Oh dear God. Really?
Unfortunately so, I just had to unfriend them. I just couldn't believe it was more than 3 of them on my friends list.
On a different note, does anyone know if Pepto Bismol is safe to take? I have these chewable tablets at my desk and my stomach is really acting funky.
