Seriously I can't wait for all of you FTMs to experience it. And then STMs. Crazy how bringing a human or more into the world changes you for the better (for the most part -there will be tearful times where you question your sanity but then you look into your baby's eyes and it's all better). We went out tonight with friends who are still shellshocked after their third 9 months ago and I'm thinking "what have we done?!?" But most of me can't wait for all the good and all the blessings.

I feel like we are missing a piece of the puzzle on the ONS thread. But I really want to know if that chick is going to tell the father or not. Her response was just .. odd to me. The whole post is just weird.
I have a gut feeling that she doesn't want to talk about it because she doesn't know who it is or how to get a hold of him. You know, as if she had an irresponsible night of fun and didn't think about the consequences. Otherwise, why does she feel the need to point out she's a professional? It's like saying "I'm a responsible adult! I promise!" But she's making it such an issue to not talk about it that it makes it an issue.
If I didn't know who the father of my child was I wouldn't be talking about it period. I'm a single mom boom done. I think she probably expected everyone to be like omg you go girl you got this but in reality we are all like....so does he know he has a child.
@SarahFoley725 oooo, I hadn't thought of it that way. That she was waiting for high fives. Hmm the whole thing is definitely odd.
I just can't think of any logical explanation for why she'd add all of the extra tid bits of information. Like, saying she got pregnant from a ONS and dad isn't interested in raising the baby is one thing but to completely ignore anyone asking if she told him is another. I hope she comes back but she probably won't.
Good luck @lightrox! I just checked into mine, and chugged the glucose crap. Now it's burning my throat I drank it so fast. First draw is at 9:30! And I'm starving

Did you ladies see the post in the hernia thread from the girl who said if she had one she wouldn't complain about it because all of pregnancy is such a blessing? She'd probably faint if she saw all the complaining we get up to in here
Merry Christmas Eve Eve! So excited for a shorter work day. Leaving here at 3:30 and heading to my mom's house in St. Louis. I won't be very active here over the next handful of days so I just wanted to wish all of my favorite pregnant women a very merry Christmas! Hope your holiday is merry and bright!
@annamakesthings yeah. That was pretty annoying. Pregnancy is amazing and I treasure my ability to have a child. That said, a hernia is super painful. W aren't silent monks!!
So my son woke up at 3:30 and hubby put him back to bed. At 4 he was in our room again due to nightmares. Decided I would go sit with him for a bit since this cold leaves me unable to breathe anyway. Well, a bit turned to an hour and I'm exhausted. He finally crashed just after 5, and I did too. Loooooong night. Guess I should get used to it, huh?
My 2yr old DD is not sleeping through the night anymore. She went to bed at 9:30 which is kinda late for her and then got up at 12:30 so i gave her some milk and she went back to bed, then she got up at 2:30 and i gave her a graham cracker thinking maybe she needed a little snack since she didn't eat much, refilled sippy cup and then rocked her for 15 minutes. She was back up at 6:30. I'M DEAD TIRED and have no motivation to be at work.
@mrspepper05 one of the girls at my old work is a HUGE Elvis fan and she named her daughter Graceland – when they say it it sounds more like Gracelyn, but it is definitely spelled like the place. I still roll my eyes every time I think about it haha!
@annamakesthings I thought the saaaaame thing. Like sheesh give me a break LOL
@soxfan9968 & @SarahFoley725 that's kind of the vibe I was getting as well; almost like she wanted some asspats for her conquest or something. And then that WK lmao (@ecwk your meme made me spit coffee )

I read that ONS post last night. It just pissed me off.
1. I will also jump on the ship that assumes she isn't planning on telling the dad. That is so messed up, IMO. I suppose if she doesn't know who he is that's one thing (although it probably wouldn't be too hard to find out - I have seen plenty episodes of Law & Order). But knowing and keeping that from him? Unbelievably selfish of her both towards her future child and the dad.
2. WTF does she think a "professional" is? I mean, I get it - sometimes a 9-5 can seem more stable than a waitressing job, but I have known many lifetime servers that are extremely well-off, stable and happy. I've also known plenty of "professionals" that are lifelong fuck-ups that should have to take an exam in order to have kids. So.
@cmerribury I've found you never get used to it. Bigger kids/toddlers up in the middle of the night are way different from newborn up all night as weird as that sounds. Maybe because you can just feed baby and him/her back down. And bahahahaha to silent monks. I don't know about you but I'm in line for the next Mother Theresa with this pregnancy.

Guys guess what the tail end of march just hit 99 days to go!!!
Also as someone who went through a miscarriage, I'm all pregnancy is a scary, wonderful, awesome, paralyzing thing. I love this kid so much and that is what scares me because I know how fragile life is, and I just have some days where I am not okay, and other days that I think I'm actually going to make it to the end of the tunnel.
But then I surprise myself, like yesterday I had a doctors appointment with my general practitioner and wanted to see if he could hear the heartbeat with the stethoscope because I heard it was possible, but he couldn't hear her heartbeat and I knew everything was fine, but earlier in my pregnancy I would have absolutely panicked. I'm still honestly scared to get her nursery together. As much as I am better it is still one day at a time.

I hate to tell you this but it's been 6 years since mine and I'm still broken from it. You never know when it's going to hit, but it does. I don't know if it makes my kids that much more precious to me, but I definitely hug them tighter at times.

Ugh one more draw to go. I've had e different ladies and they all did it in the same arm. I asked this lady if the last one we can do in the other because this last one she likes to wiggle the needle around and it hurt like an SOB!!! IT sucks- my heartburn is kicking in and I'm so hungry and tired... I'm surprised I haven't taken to bawling yet.

Hey! Toys r us has a sale going on today! Check out "fisher price, rock and play sleeper. Hope walmart will do price match. They usually sell for 60$, but one is on sale for 5.50$ and one normally sells for 67$ but is non sale for 17$ (no, I am not fibbing) they are now out of stock at toys r us, but I'm going to check if walmart will price check today.

Honestly it feels weird, this whole year has just changed the person I was. I mean 1 year ago today, we were trying to get pregnant I think I even tested a couple of days before Christmas last year and wasn't pregnant and I was like okay that's fine, but then in January we got pregnant and then by April it was all over as fast as it started. I passed milestones that I never knew I would have to, and became the person to advocate for talking about miscarriage, because I'll be damned if people forget about the little one that didn't make it, and the little one that made me a mother. I know that they remember, but sometimes if I don't talk about it I feel like I may forget, but I wont. I love my children. IDK why I am crying now, I think I just haven't thought about it in a while.

Oh wow, I'm a party pooper. Anyway happy thoughts.
I got my prenatal massage and it was nice,
except I ALWAYS have knots in my shoulders and it hurt so bad when she
was up there, and she is like is that tender, and I'm like of course it is tender why do you think I'm shuddering. Also she called me the wrong name, honest mistake and I am used to it, but then at the end I didn't know there was a mandatory 18% gratuity on a 90 dollar massage. I don't mind tipping, but when I am forced to tip, is it really a tip?

Ok @JessKo08symptom question for you about my 4-year old. At what point to you bring in for vomiting? He's been puking since 5am and can't keep any liquids down (even ice chips). No fever. I was thinking 12-24 hours if they can't keep anything down - is it longer?

Ladies hope all of your glucosetesting went well.. @skruhmin: hope your little one feels better before christmas.
Went to the ultrasound; everything was fine! Little boy is measuring even above average. His head is already deep down (i've noticed because my daily bike rides feel like i didn't pee for the last 12 hours..;)
Wishing you all a very happy and loving Christmas!
@skruhmin poor little fellow. Since he can't even keep down ice chips I would bring him in whenever you want. I don't think there's a good rule of thumb, it kinda depends on the kid. If you bring him in today I wouldn't expect the need for IV hydration, that might be needed the longer you wait. What they'd most likely do now is give him some zofran and a Popsicle or some clear liquids and see if he can keep them down. (If he were my kid and I had some leftover zofran from my MS I'd give him 2mg, or 1/2 tab, of zofran and 10-20 min later try some Gatorade or a Popsicle--> but I didn't tell you that, sharing prescription meds is a no-no) I was just reading about a new strain of norovirus that came to the US from Asia,I know it's hit Minnesota already.

Thanks I was wondering about the zofran (I mean.....not that I'd do it or anything). I think we'll see how he is at the 12 hour mark and go from there (unless he gets worse - which I hate to think about). If it's the same thing DS2 and MIL had this past week, it's not a fun one.

Wahooooo no more reports of puking in the past hour - so that's 90 minutes of keeping Gatorade down!!! Maybe we're in the clear! I seriously hope so - he's so excited about Christmas. Like I gave birth to Elf in real life kind of excitement.
