Tuesday Randoms!

4littlebears · December 2014

I just realized my growth scan is this coming Monday. I'm not sure why I thought there was another week in between there. But I'll be 36 weeks on Sunday. Why does this feel like a milestone? I would think 37 would be more of one. But I guess my OB is on vacation when I have my 36 week check. Oh well, I'll just be getting checked by another random stranger. I wonder if there will be any progress already with all the contractions I've had. Normally I wouldn't expect any because my body is a bit of a stubborn mule when it comes to labor. It will be fun to see my baby on Monday!

How far along were you when you had your others @Mrs_Bennett?

I had DS1 at 37w4d (induction), and DS2 at 39w1d (which was yesterday; my ticker is off).

Appointment went well overall this morning, but then she said that she wants to schedule me for NSTs and an ultrasound next week (if I go overdue). I'm fine with that, but why can't my regular doctor schedule them when I see him next week? And, she labeled my paperwork "high risk", which made me cry on the way home. Being two days overdue does not make a pregnancy high risk! Hmph. Hopefully I deliver before then anyway...

Also, my sister posted that she has the flu. I told her not to come to my house on xmas if so. (I'm hosting) This is not going to go down well. She said she doesn't want to miss xmas. Well I don't want the damn flu at 9 months pregnant!

I'm just getting over the flu and I fully support you telling her not to come If she really has it. It was awful and I spent some time on L&D contracting from the dehydration. My OB wrote me for some Tamilfu yesterday and today's the first day I've woken up without a fever! That stuff was damn expensive, but worth every freakin penny.

@Firefly3911 - He was a flight attendant for a charter airline at the airport I used to work at. He would come in through international arrivals a couple times a month or more. It was SO hard to not giggle when he was there, but trust me, many giggles and laughs were had before and after. Too bad we weren't allowed to have a laugh WITH him. He really did seem like a nice guy at least in passing.

Good morning ladies! Hope everything goes smoothly for all of you will appointments today

I shopped until I dropped yesterday with my sister and mom and our lunch was amazing! I still have salsa left over that I'm debating on having for breakfast lol. Last night my mom painted my toe nails for me and I didn't realize how much I missed them being painted until I saw them done! Lol I feel very pretty now

At some point today I have to head back out into the crazy shopping crowds and get my moms gift and something for the hostesses of my shower. I also need to go grocery shopping. I've been putting it off for 4 days but we r now down to our last roll of TP so I have no choice.

I hope you ladies have a great day!

Good morning. I have my 36 week appt today. Doc is supposed to check me for GBS, but I have the worst throat pain- now in my jaw and ears as well and I'm worried he won't see me (I'm gonna call first so I don't just go spreading my germs). I need some kind of relief and I'm hoping he will not only see me, but give me something for what I suspect is an infection. At least I can breathe at this point....

Did you call your doc? Did he see you? My OB sees me for everything.

peggels24 · December 2014

Ok well I finished all of my "important stuff" at home - bills are paid, gifts are wrapped, cookies are divided up between gifts and freezing (and what we will eat in the next week or so)...I just need to throw some stuff in an overnight bag and then we leave tomorrow afternoon for my in-laws. I'm really looking forward to doing nothing.

mowl2014 · December 2014

Hi everyone! I'm currently at work - I almost want to take a half sick day out of boredom but won't do that.. Had a crazy night with dog puking and cleaning up after her. A little worried how she's doing it but pretty sure it's because FIL gave her WAY too much people food and chips. She was just so sad looking.

So will be stalking the bump today and excited to see all the birth stories! Have a friend coming over shortly to help show me cloth diapers. We really want to try them out but I'm nervous about ordering online and paying too much and it not working for us so she's going to show me what she has. I wish there was a store I could go to and see the different options but it seems like everything cloth is online or maybe I'm just dumb when it comes to this topic. I'm one of those learners that has to actually DO something to really learn it. For instance, I can't just read up on a topic. I need to actually mechanically do something for me to feel confident in a skill.

My boss left for the day. You know what this means... I get to leave a half hour early! Less traffic to go home

It's also the anniversary of his wife's death today. I felt awkward because I didn't know if I should say something to him or not about it.

It is the last time I'll see him before the baby comes. I was told he wants lots of baby pictures and baby visits while I'm on leave

Did you wind up saying anything to your boss?

soon2bejp · December 2014

Well, I got fisted at my 36 week appointment to find out that my cervix is completely closed. My BP was high again (checked prior to said fisting), so she mentioned possible induction if I keep having problems. I got dunkin on my way home though, so everything is ok!

Well, DH and I did our hospital tour last night. I love nearly every aspect of it. It's a super nice place and they're super pro skin to skin and rooming with the baby. But we found out that because I have to be under general for my CS, DH can't be in the room during the operation. This really upsets me and I know it's getting to him too. It was really important to him to be there. It makes me tempted to talk to my ob about doing it with the spinal block instead but then I risk worsening my brain injury. Ahhh. At least, they'll put him in a special waiting room right outside the doors of the OR and will take baby straight to him. Then he'll get to do about an hour of skin to skin with baby girl before they do the shots and ointment and measurements and such.

In other news, we're staying at FIL's house tonight and I forgot PJs, which I need since the only bathroom is in the room we sleep in so we're gonna have to swing by the store and pick something up for me. And FFTC I occasionally call my baby a jerk because she moves in ways that cause me a LOT of pain. today she's being particularly jerky.

I had an unplanned csection under general with my first and was also alone in the OR. I was quite traumatized by how it all went and when I was expecting my second I used midwives instead to provide me more support. Anyway, they told me that if their patients ever had to have a general for a csection that they took pictures for the family. I wonder if there might be someone in the or who could take a photo or two for you. I know they're all busy at that point but you never know!

No, I didn't. I didn't want to be *that* girl. He only brought it up in passing as he left today as to why he was leaving early and not to me. None of us knew if it was something to mention, that we were thinking of him and to ask how he was doing, or not. He was very "business as usual." He was that way the day she passed, too. We had no idea what had happened (though we knew it was coming) until his boss came up and told us.

I probably would have done the same thing.

nah82 · December 2014

I got dizzy taking pics of the boys with Santa at the preschool party and had to sit down. I was a little freaked out, forgot to take my bp pill before leaving the house this morning. When I took my bp when I got home it was not abnormally high for me, though, thank goodness. I am tired. Three hours of revelry with 16 four-five year olds plus my three year old is a lot at this point. But the jello was a hit.

sfgiantsgamerbabe · December 2014

@LuckyPenny1231‌ I have been wearing a support belt since my second trimester. It has really helped me because I am on my feet a lot at work. I also wear it when I exercise. I just went down to Babies R Us and got their brand. You can also ask your OB for a prescription.

I hope so. I'll definitely talk to my doc about everything. I feel so bad for DH because he really wanted to cut the cord too. I know it was super important to him.

oh my God... the whole pubic dysfunction thing... WHY??!?! (

This x100.
I don't even feel like ordering a belt would be worth it at this point because I'd probably go into labor before it gets here, but ouch!

We're EDD buddies then! I had 2/3 of mine late. This is the 160th week of my life that I've spent pregnant, not that I'm counting… That is crazy that she labeled you high risk if you go over, but I hear you. I cried yesterday when I had to cancel my appt and the next one they made was for next Monday. Hugs!

MrsFaFa2 · December 2014

I was just walking through Macys....well...waddling through Macys and a older sales person came up behind me and put her arm around me and offered to show me where the chairs were so I could sit down and rest. Then she proceeded to tell me how exhausted I looked. Thanks....I showered, did my hair and put makeup on today. Thanks for bringing me down lady!

Reiden · December 2014

I shaved my legs up to my knee last night. I feel sexy

*happy dance*

In other news, I get to go to the second part of a job interview today; the woman who interviewed me said it'd be a "Dumbed down version of the SAT", and hey that's fine by me. Granted, it's only for a Marco's Pizza joint, but it's a one-minute walk from the apartments I want to move into, who can beat a one -minute walk?

Also OB appointment tomorrow. Here's hoping my BP hasn't increased much; I'm on the high end of the pre-stages of pre-e, so a bit worried there..

4littlebears · December 2014

It just dawned on me why my OB is still worried we will have to induce at 37 weeks. Because she probably thinks the only reason my BP has been good is because of the baby aspirin I've been taking every day, and I have to stop taking it at 36 weeks. And even on that some days it's borderline. Hmpf... Well I hope she's wrong!

BookitBoo · December 2014

I finally found my Christmas spirit! DH offered to do the grocery shopping for me, and I got an awesome ceiling fan duster that is making my day. I'm sitting at home in my pajama pants and wrapping DH's presents while DS naps, and plan on starting my cinnamon rolls here shortly.

Yes, he saw me. But I don't have a fever, so he didn't rx me anything, but said I could take dayquil, robutussin, theraflu and to eat turnips and drink warm/hot water only. And of course, salt gargle.

mowl2014 · December 2014

NBR but my granny (92 years old) just got a call from those fake IRS scams. It's so frustrating and makes me so angry that people take advantage of the elderly in this way. They told her that she was being sued for the IRS and she owed them money, etc. Of course, she's 92 so she's all confused and upset and everything. Fortunately she knows to just call my parents whenever things like this happen but it always upsets her which just makes me want to hit someone... Grrrr

BookitBoo · December 2014

@mowl2014‌

That's terrible

people who scam other people, and especially the elderly, are evil. I'm glad that she has your parents looking out for her

raveness · December 2014

Well... I did have a productive day planned with baking cookies, running to the grocery store and BRU, vacuuming, cleaning bathrooms. Then, I had a good friend call and one 3.5 hour phone call later, I have lost all motivation. I do have to run to store for dinner tonight, but everything else will just have to wait until tomorrow. Oh wells. I did get a lot done yesterday so I'm fine with taking today off of household chores.

My DH has informed me he still has to go Christmas shopping for me. I hate that he waits to the very last minute, but, hey, he's the one fighting the crowds, not me.

Okies, I'm off to finally shower. Perhaps I will bake something today.

elleswarth · December 2014

So, went for my 38 week appt. Doctor swept my membranes, and agreed to induce Monday due to my fluid being a little low. Problem is? My hospital is COMPLETELY booked next week and is refusing to book any more inductions. My doctors answer? "Show up Monday at 7:30am, tell them you're having contractions. I'll take care of the rest." While I appreciate that, it still gives me anxiety not having it "on the books."

Sorry for the anxiety but I lovetitted because I like your doctor's answer.

llambrose · December 2014

I left work early and am off for the next 5 days! I go in next week on Monday and Tuesday then have 5 more days off then work the next week and start maternity leave! Woohoo!! My dd is super excited about Christmas which makes me happy. I wrapped everything weekend before last so I just need to figure out what food I am bringing to what gathering now. I am looking forward to relaxing!

Disneygeek77 · December 2014

Yesterday my husband had the day off so he took DS and they had my wish list and went shopping for me. Well, four hours later DH comes home and says he found only one thing for me. I said " Screw it, let's go to bed bath and beyond and I will pick out my own stuff." We were out of BBB 30 minutes later.

Maebb · December 2014

Turns out DS doesn't like cinnamon bears. Now I feel like a mean mom for giving him one.

readyforround2 · December 2014

I just want to cry and I don't know why! I got so much accomplished today I should be ecstatic! All the Christmas shopping is done (go last minute shoppers!). I found and wrapped really cute thank you gifts for my shower hostesses. I did the grocery shopping and even managed to start a batch of brownies for my brother! Wtf! I don't feel "sad" but for some reason I'm trying really hard not to cry. This can't be normal...

tkr7c9 · December 2014

Had my 38 week appointment today and surprise surprise.... still no progress... I plan on going to my folk's house 2 hours away for Christmas so I should be happy about this news, but I'm so tired of feeling like this. Doctor said many first timers don't show progress and it all might just happen at once. Hoping for an uneventful trip the next few days because I don't want to go to a different hospital if Emma decides to show up while we are away.

Mrs_Bennett · December 2014

This pregnancy has been relatively easy for me, and complication-free--for which I am so SO grateful!
But, today, it's like my body suddenly realized that I'm 39 weeks pregnant! My feet have been swollen all day (first time this pregnancy!), I'm utterly exhausted, and the pelvic pressure is getting pretty intensely painful. As much as I can't wait to meet my sweet daughter, I'd really like her to stay put for at least two more days so that I can be home with my boys on Christmas morning.....and it would be nice if I wasn't feeling miserable for it too! Is that too much to ask at this point?

sfgiantsgamerbabe · December 2014

I had my 36 week appointment today. I had my GBS test and a cervical check. I'm not dialated or efaced yet but my cervix is soft and baby is head down. Yay! I have weekly appointments now so things are moving right along.
