I keep having hot flashes...in just my hands and feet. They happen mostly at night and will wake me from a dead sleep! Last night I had to go and stick my feet in the bathtub with frigid water once every three hours or so. It's driving me insane...I just want to sleep!! Apparently people who had cold hands and feet pre-pregnancy (hello, ME!!) have this issue more often than other women, and it gets worse as you progress through the third trimester...which I just started today. WAH. The next person to tell me to 'enjoy the sleep now!' is getting throat punched.
Aaannnddd I only have 13 weeks until baby should be here and that is freaking me out. Guess I should finish the nursery or something soon. Oops.
I am sleeeeeeeepy! we got in super late last night from Chicago so I didn't go to bed until around 2 AM and then had to be back up at 7 for work and to get my DS off to school this morning. Even though I am so tired, I am VERY excited over the fact that I got to meet Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder and Daniel Gillies from The Vampire Diaries in Chicago over the weekend!!! Paul Wesley is SUCH A BABE! I just love him, and don't we look cute together?? haha jk jk, I love my DH.
Other than that, Monday has been quiet for me (so far)
I have my glucose test today and my RHNeg shot in the butt. Fun stuff. Thankfully the appt is at 1:45 so I can eat lunch and then drink the drink. No meal missing. The baby loves her meal times. I'm sure she's going to flip out with the glucose drink.
I'm 28 weeks today and today is also my 24th birthday! SO surprised me with a hidden gift in my trunk, a Michael Kors bag (omg so gorgeous, I've never gotten a fancy gift like that before). I was so excited about my new bag I forgot my lunch at home and the baby shower invites I was going to give out to coworkers today There is always tomorrow though.
Pretty quiet monday. I have my glucose test today and hopefully I can keep it down. Luckily I can eat first so I won't get the jitters from all the sugar. Baby
Going to do my stupid glucose test today. Wonder what happens if I barf it back up everywhere?
I'm also having an impatient day. My friend just posted a picture of her little girl sleeping at just a few months old and I need some baby snuggles right friggin now.
And this stupid app has been acting up again and keeps telling me I "don't have permission to do that" whenever I try to post.
Whoa. I just nothiced that my little miss is definitely getting into position. I just felt what was definitely a foot right up near my ribs for the first time. She's been horizontal up until now, so she's been busy since yesterday!
It's Monday... as if that fact doesn't suck bad enough... I just filled out my weekly calendar. Looks like I will be at the ballpark every day this week til almost 9 pm. Fun times!
Monday's are annoying, I have zero energy to do anything but I am forcing myself to do stuff today. Our cabinets are finally done! I have had a lady painting them last weekend and this weekend. They are absolutely beautiful! We went from an icky golden oak to white!!! I am going to get new Hardware for them today and sneak in panera for lunch I LOVE the soba bowls!
I think I might do my glucose test again this morning, not sure yet. I had to do both the 1 hr and 3 hr at around 10 weeks and now I'm doing the 1 hr again. Other than that my kids slept in this morning which is rare but DH woke me up when he left so still no extra sleep for me. I'm also having some major debates about moving in September and what to do. So many choices and I'm not in love with any of them. Why does it have to be Korea?!

My husband goes out of town this week for work,which means of course I find a huge spider in the bedroom. I left to get reinforcements and when I got back to the bedroom that little son of a bitch had hidden in the exposed part of the wall around the door frame. The hubby has been redoing all of the doorframes and edging in the house. Needless to say I'm burning the house down. .... Or sleeping in the living room the whole week.
So tired. Im off today so thought id stay up late last night and watch some tv except I still fell asleep in the middle of an episode at my normal bedtime. Must have been more tired than I thought because I actually slept 7 solid hours. Went back to sleep for another two hours. And since than have had another hr nap. And I'm still debating if I have the energy to go to the store today. I feel so lazy because there's really like a million things I need to get done
I had such a nice weekend that Monday was especially hard today! More and more I just like to be home and work on the baby room, cleaning, reading books and making lists (shopping lists, packing for the hospital lists, etc.) so some days it is hard to focus at work. The best part of today is the fact that one of my coworkers brought her birthday lunch/treats to work so I will be eating well today. The bummer for today is that my throat is a bit sore...hopefully it doesn't get any worse because I'd hate to be sick!
We finally got around to clearing out the nursery and painting 3/4 walls. The last wall is an accent wall we will finish today. I'm ridiculously excited and now I want to go buy ALL THE FURNITURE AND DECOR.
Over the weekend, my dog randomly started dry heaving quite a bit. We were afraid it was a sign of bloat, so we went into emergency mode. One midnight ride to the animal hospital, one x-ray, and $200 later, it turns out it was a false alarm. The dunce drank his water too fast and it went down the wrong pipe. *Facepalm*
I announced my preg. at work at around 3 months I've been there 3 years so everyone was excited and talking about throwing me a work baby shower 1 month later another girl announces she is pregnant as well..they said no more work baby shower because it's to much for 2 preggy ladies. :-< that's fine..didn't bother me to much
I then ask if I can use a meeting room for my baby shower they said no because then the other girl is going to want to throw one and then it'll become a bad trend :-w ..Really feel like the fun and shine of my pregnancy was taken away
Now here is THE BEST PART...I get a text from my cousin yesterday "hey I haven't told anyone yet because I literally just took the test but I'm pregnant!!!!!" Guess what's in 2 weeks my baby shower. Guess where she will be letting our whole extended family know MY BABY SHOWER. I am so angry and upset. I'm a FTM this is something I'm really excited about and I feel like everyone keeps taking my moment away from me!!!!! Grrrr ~X(

I've been getting hot flashes in my hands in feet! So glad I'm not alone, I was really thinking I was crazy. But my hands and feet are ALWAYS cold especially since I got preg. Like so hot, if I hold my hand next to my face, I can feel it
I woke up today to find my first set of stretch marks at 27 weeks. I'm a FTM and 24 years old and feel like being pregnant is taking away all my youth!! So depressing
Call from my dr office today said I failed my diabetics test. Gotta go back to do the 3 hour test. And it's a coworkers birthday today so there is cake at work!! I feel like I should either eat all the cake or eat none.

Do it! Eat the cake! I called my doctor for my results today and they said they would call me back. They haven't yet. So I ate an entire bag of gummy Bears out of spite. And they were effin delicious.

I feel your pain and jealousy! I am FTM too and announced in January...then my cousin announced in February and had to throw in that they had 'trouble' getting pregnant.....then DH's cousin announced in March that she's having twins. It feels like everyone is one-upping me.
Also, I'm a substitute teacher in a long term position covering for a teacher who is out on maternity leave, so there's no way my work will be throwing me a shower.
Something my dad taught me about spiders is that they can never out run spray glue. If it is in the door frame, just give it a spray, and that spider will never bother you again!
I'm not a people person to begin with. It took the pulling of teeth for me to even be willing to let my family throw me a baby shower. Now that they are, I said I wanted control over the guest list so no one's there who I don't want. Guess whose cousin is trying to drag her boyfriend along? DH and I stopped going to family gatherings because the guy is so uncomfortable to be around and everything's all tense and weird when he's around. This being my event and all, I don't want to deal with it this time. And I'm going to get to look like the bad guy for saying he's not welcome. Never letting the family do any events for me (which is really more for them anyway) ever again.

To eat cake or to not eat cake; that is the question!
I am just feel a whole mix of things: tummy troubles, foot pains, even more frequent urination(didn't think it could get worse), exhaustion, weird dead baby zombie dreams....

I would be pretty upset with that. I would definitely ask her to either not announce it then or respectfully wait until the END of the shower, so she doesn't steal the whole show. She really can't find another time to announce?

Well, I can see why you are upset. I would also say screw the workplace baby shower. They sound like ponces. I would also say one, is she really going to announce the pregnancy so early? It's up to her but after having a miscarriage myself in the past, I decided to wait awhile before telling people. Two, how close are you to your cousin? Would you be able to explain this to her without her getting upset?
@erinnlou@ccarrozza1 I'm not all that close with her so it would be uncomfortable for me to say something plus I feel like I would be offending the whole family if I said something (everyone is pretty sensitive) I've decided that if anyone decides to to bring it up I will be using my overactive bladder as an excuse and just disappear to the bathroom maybe then they'll get the hint.
Also she has been pregnant once before..same day she found out she announced it on FB (before she even told her family!!) and ended up having a miscarriage a couple weeks later and made that announcement on FB as well...soooooo if that gives you an idea what I'm dealing with here... #-o lol

I totally understand. My SIL announced they were going to start trying for a baby when I announced I was prego. I am a FTM and totally understand how you feel. Like someone is trying to steal your thunder
