Re: Sunday night's a slow surrender (randoms)
So while yesterday rocked (got engagement ring and new SUV!) I've had a worsening stomach issue, which after much research I think I've determined is the side effects of the new progesterone I'm taking.
The doctor switched types on me and ever since I've begin taking these I've noticed dull, constant discomfort in my lower abdomen up to the area right above my bellybutton, and as time as has gone on, the discomfort has gotten worse, moving to what feels like stomach pain similar to stomach flu. I'm also nauseous and very constipated (tmi but ya know). So, today I'm determined to alleviate at least the last part, to see if that makes a difference.
It's thunder storming (my favorite) so it will be a good day to lay around.
I think I hit full nesting mode last night. Instead of doing anything fun, I convinced DH to help me clean out the guest room and nursery closets. That, of course, ended with me doing 75% of the cleaning and him watching comedy on Netflix, but there is so much more room now! Gotta get into the attic today, which I'm not looking forward to.
@CoozieInMyPurse I think I've hit that's mode too. I spent two hours the other night just looking through the baby's clothes and taking tags off and picking out hospital outfits and such. I know it's way too early for that but I can't help it. I wait till H goes to bed so he doesn't make fun of me.
Eta.. I have 4 glorious days off ahead of me and it's nuts at work. I know they're gonna call me every day to come in and help but I've already planned to use the pregnancy card and stay home to rest. It's about time I slow down a bit dang it

@lawsonellis Congrats on the new car and ring!! I missed most of yesterday, so did you get engaged?
@shellmack I hope you told him how 'not ok' that was. Let him sleep on the couch if he can't come in quietly.
@nannabee21 That's super cute! I'm actually planning to try to pack my hospital bags this week. I've got a pretty busy couple of weeks and don't want to worry about it, going forward. I also need to wash all of the baby diapers (and figure out how to actually do that).
As for me! I am super bummed I wasn't able to go sand knee boarding this last weekend. It sounded like it would have been amazing fun!! So, for next winter, I am making a list of things I couldn't do this winter.
I do have a color Run 5k in a couple weeks (ok, it's a slow walk for me) and I'm looking forward to that. Last time I did one, I think I had colored powder up my nose for a couple weeks!
In the meantime, revisiting 1963 in Manhattan! Silver lining?
I've always wanted to do a colour run. They look super fun.
My random is that I have a house full of guests and I have no energy to entertain. Normally I go totally overboard cooking feasts for family but yesterday all I could muster for dinner were quesadillas and they weren't even that good. I could tell my brother was a little disappointed... I think its because after my mom passed, I became the woman in the family who fed everyone like she used to. But alas, can't give too much of a shit. I am cooking a baby.
@FrecklesInside I hope today IS the last day for that crap.
@lawsonellis I hope you start to feel better too!
AFM: I ordered my glider for the nursery last night and I am taking this week off of work specifically so I can rest and get the nursery in order; we didn't put anything away after our shower last weekend.
Eta im ordering online since my old navy doesnt actually have a decent maternity section. So im really hoping to avoid dealing with returns/exchanges.
@krystaloowho I'm so sorry about Loki. I know its a sad day but happy birthday!
@lawsonellis congrats on your engagement and the new SUV! I'm sorry to hear you're feeling bad, hope you feel better soon!
This weekend was better than I expected it to be. I'm doing my Air Force reserve weekend and I'm actually having a good time as opposed to the constant miserable in the past months.
Goodness, Nights are becoming more and more sleepless as the weeks pass. I've even been having dreams of taking care of my baby and feeling horribly exhausted.
Random weirdness: this may be TMI but I have to share lol. So the other day I was extremely constipated but managed to let one HUGE log out. It was so painful I almost second guessed my ability to push a little human out medication free. I'll be damned if I give up on my plan to give birth without meds because of a painful bowl movement but Damn, that shit had me crippled. tis all, I feel like I just rambled on about nothingness.
@FrecklesInside hope you feel better soon.
@ruemorgan I have a few nursing tanks from there. I found that the sizing is pretty true to Old Navy. I usually wear a small but got a medium and was glad cause my boobs were huge after my milk came in and I don't like wearing really tight things. I think you'd be good with your regular size that you normally get.

AFM: we didn't get our curtains for the nursery made yesterday, but it is definitely on our list to do today. It's another good day for an indoor project as it is still very cold and wet outside, plus we can watch the Cowboys/Packers game at the same time. I think I will be going against my roots today and cheering for the Packers.
I'm not saying you are ignoring kick counts, sometimes they sleep and you just want to know they are okay!! I just wanted you to be aware of potential issues with relying on Doppler of you weren't already.
AFM I had my birthing class yesterday. It was great!! I did start to feel panicked at the actual labor/ birthing process, but I'm back to blocking it out today!! They had a week old newborn in- so cute! Also a friend had twins and I got to meet them at just a few hours old!! I am so excited to meet my baby.

I'm with all you ladies and the insomnia, ugh what a drag! So I'm a bit irritated this morning and trying to prep my meals for the week ahead. I reach in the cabinet and pull out the chix broth, only to open it an notice it has already been opened. Fail! Guess I'll be taking another trip to the grocery store (went yesterday morning).
@djoliet For the pain between your thighs, did you try sleeping with a pillow between your legs? This really helps me with overall alignment and hip pain. I imagine it could help with the inner thighs as well!
@etoille @luckystarz Feel better soon!
@katydid2014 I can't wait to hear your husband's response to the maternity shoot timing!
(The extent of famous people I've met/seen in my lifetime, is Bruce Campbell ... plus, I had a major crush on Beckham, way back in the day!)
Also, to answer PPs questions, we got engaged officially on Christmas Eve after being together for over 4 years and living together for about 2 of those.
Thanks for all the get better wishes- still feeling shitty but not as shitty as @FrecklesInside and @etoille - feel better soon ladies!!
@etoille aw I hope you start to feel better!
@lawsonellis that ring is freaking beautiful!
But seriously ... a student doctor that doesn't know how to use a fetal heart doppler ... is that the future??
*I did not want to get ultrasounds (Particularly the 3D/4D) because I just do not see a need for them. And my own personal feelings of wanting as low intervention as I can handle. Even though the FDA 'approves' the 3D/4D, it's not something I felt comfortable with on a weekly basis.
