Sorry about the glucose, @charley15 but the other news is good.
So, quick question. Does SPD feel like someone is trying to rip your vagina open from both sides while also sending shooting pains down the side of your pelvis and into the vagina? Cause, if so, I've acquired that in the last two days.
I also found out that my family is throwing me an elaborate shower for baby #2. It was supposed to be a surprise but my husband never sent addresses to my mom. I wouldn't normally go in for a second shower, but I can't exactly complain. Anyway, it's sweet of them and we are keeping it low key. It's January 31. My next ultrasound is January 12. Excited for that too.
Wwyd? DS2 does bottle of milk before bed but vomited a few hours ago, he's done sips of water recently and kept it down. Would you do a bottle or not? I hate stomach bugs!

Maybe give him a bottle of water? So he has the comfort factor
@skruhmin I'd skip it tonight. Maybe some water or pedialite in a bottle (the the ever awesome 1/3 apple juice, 2/3 water, pinch of sea salt that was suggested to me). The milk will likely just upset his tummy.

Thanks. I risked it and he did about 4 oz. I just held him for a good 20 minutes and no puking. He went right down to bed so fingers crossed he's down for the night.

@skruhmin Sorry your awesome snow day was ruined by a sick LO. Poor him and you. I wish we would get some of that CO snow but it blows right over us. My parents are on the other side of NM and are always getting dumped on. I miss the snow.
Strep sucks! This is the first year I havn't gotten from my students...Knock on wood. Last year I came down with it the weekend of my bachelorette party.
Tonight was DH Christmas party and we won the ugly sweater contest. His said "I'm kind of a big deal." (Anchorman quote.) my sweater said "I'm kind of a bigger deal!" (With bigger deal placed over my baby bump). I was so happy for DH cuz they were all his idea and he made them for us last night. He was so proud of himself and his little award.
Man o man that girl that started the pregnant women are mean thread is the worst! I swear, some people WANT to be miserable and live out every woe is me moment over and over.
noooo kidding. it really pissed me off that she accused us all of being mean because one user suggested adoption. i read through the comment & nothing that user said was rude.. she was trying to be helpful. miss. drama queen completely twisted her words & then came on your positive post to bitch about nothing.. ugh!! i needed to get that out..
also, just out of curiosity (not sure if this has been discussed already), any other FTM's getting stretch marks yet?? I'm 27 weeks & found one on my hip. it's tiny, but still.. i burst into tears! hahah. I'm not ready for this yet
Maybe i have to say it instead of already posting..;) @kitteh81; love your belly pics, beautiful. But OMG; can't imagine there is room in my skin/body to get a belly like that...haha...i'm getting bigger each day now so wondering when i can make a picture like that...
@JLaVO888; WoW! Your husband is very creative! Thumbs up for him..

I already had some on my sides from weight gain last year, so not too sure when baby-related ones appeared first, but I've had them on the sides of my boobs since first tri when they grew...just started gaining some on the very front of my stomach in the past week, and they appeared out of no where! One tiny one led to about 10 more decent sized ones.
Having a rough morning. DD spilled milk all over the Chromebook we borrowed from my mom. I cleaned it all up, but now the cursor won't work and I'm terrified that it's ruined. :-(
Was going to spend the day Christmas shopping, but I'm so tired I can hardly keep my eyes open. Might just let DD2 watch TV all morning while I doze on the couch . . .
Married 7.29.05 :: DD1 5.11.10 :: DD2 1.23.13 :: Baby Boy due 3.13.16!
Sorry to hear about the sick kiddos.....hope they feel better soon! (Sorry I can't remember whose they were....just read 100+ comments to get caught back up)
Today I have another check up, so I get to hear the HB again.....but its also my glucose test.....so not looking forward to drinking the sugary glucola stuff....
Hopefully DS2 is on the mend. He woke up at 4:30 just wimpering so we snuggled for an hour before I got ready for work. When I dropped him off at MIL he had a 100.3* temp and now he's begging for food. So I think it's a quick bug, thank goodness. Now just praying nobody else gets it!

@charley15 sorry about your glucose test, FX you pass the 3H! glad you're doing better otherwise and got those shots out of the way for another little bit
@SparkE82 GL on your glucose test today! @JLaVO888 those are the best sweaters!!! great job, Mr JLaVO! i'm also having weird occasional facial tics (eye and mouth) and horrendous leg cramps - lmk if anything helps stop them?
@stormiewinter sorry to hear about your BP concerns; prayers that it stays under control this time @mrsleanmeanclean you got this! you are rockin' the schoolwork!
@skruhmin so sorry about your little; hope he feels better fast and that everyone else stays well!
@kynbar5 same to you and your clan - hope the illness passes quickly and no one else gets ill! @smushi will especially keep you and baby in my prayers - sorry you're going thru this stress! keep on baking, babySmushi!
@cmerribury Yes to the SPD it hit me the past couple weeks and is to the excruciating tears in bed point now. even already acting up during the day as i get about. going to try to hit the chiro tomorrow.

@mrspepper05 Completely submerge it in rice (in a bag or tupperware, anything really) it absorbs the liquid and can usually save electronics. Important that it be done STAT though.
@mrspepper05 if you or your husband feel comfortable doing so, after doing what @cmerribury suggested, that stuff usually isnt overly difficult to carefully take apart and clean the insides with (Q-tip and alcohol) and reassemble. we have lots of teeny screwdrivers and stuff for such occasions, bc i am a klutz, and kids happen. either way i am sure your mama will understand - she had fun-sized humans that created little accidents too once, and se loves you. i'm sure she would understand that it was a risk and an accident and and that you feel badly and stuff

I'm amazed how much you get. My memory is bad enough I can't remember after a single response. I echo everything here - feel better everyone - LOs, get better. Mamas, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GO INTO LABOR (why can third tri be a different kind of scary from first tri?!?). Sorry for everyone's broken crotches. Sorry for the 1hr test failures. Ummmmm I'm sorry I can't remember past that.

This is the most heartfelt and honest "sorry" to date in my pregnancy. LOL!
i was just typing almost the same. broken crotches can eat a bag of dicks!
EDITED: oh wait. or NOT. bc they are broken. wasn't tryinf to be punny, but now i realize that makes the opposite of sense. the "bag of dicks" is just one of my go-to's LOL
I bit the bullet and ordered a maternity support belt last night. The shooting vag pain has GOT TO STOP (or at least lessen). I found one I had with my first pregnancy in a bag in the basement and it's seeing me through until the new medical grade one arrives. I'm actually excited about getting it. WHO HAVE I BECOME!?
random, but i feel like the most recent comment on the "saving your placenta thread" should get some sort of award for using the largest anatomy scan crotch shot ever in her siggy.
sorry to the mobile bumpers right now who don't have the ability to experience this - i am sure i could screenshot it somehow if that isn't a TOU violation

It's not even 8:30 and I'm already kinda wanting to stay in bed all day.
DH has been up about an hour, and has managed to hurt his thumbnail again (he ripped part of it off trying to install that stupid hitch on our car), break his wireless headphones, and ask me flat out what I'm going to make for breakfast after his workout. Babe I love you and everything but no. No that's not how it works.
My sister is in surgery right now to remove an ovarian cyst, how fun, and she'll be getting out of surgery in a couple hours probably.
My other older sister has called me twice already, and my mother is being a really terrible person apparently, which displeased me greatly. When they come to visit the baby I swear if she's being mean to her I'm not gonna have the patience to say something about it nicely.
So that's my day, and I'm gonna try and not explode because hormones. Woooooo it's just Wednesday.
