Rant/Rave/Symptoms: Baby is laying horizontally still so I'm still having lots of back/hip pain.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? We're working on converting a room for DS and then we will start on redecorating the nursery. My changes for the nursery are pretty basic, it's currently painted blue and gray, with gray accents, so I will change the blue to lavender and get a couple new pieces of art for the wall.
Questions? Any suggestions for how to get this baby to change positions?
GTKY: Do you have any tattoos? If so, how many? What are they? None, but this is my last baby so I'm thinking about getting something subtle to signify my two babies.
i've been awake since 5:30- add me to the ridiculously early risers list. *angry face*
I also have a running list in my head that has since flown the coop of people I wanted to respond to. Argh!
How far along are you? 25+1
Rant/Rave/Symptoms: Just lots of crampy pressure if I walk too much.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Nothing currently
Questions? Nope
GTKY: Do you have any tattoos? If so, how many? What are they? I have a symbol on my shoulder blade that stands for 'strength.' I want lots more, specifically one that says "It Is Well" after the hymn to remind me that even though crap happens, God is good, all the time.
Rants/Raves : This guy is kicking up a storm! He seems to enjoy chillin on my bladder this week, which is good news for my ass! (I have a rule of doing 15 squats every time I use the restroom) I also CANNOT pile enough food in my face. Makes me nervous!
Preparations: Embarrassingly NOTHING yet! Just got back from babymoon & promised myself I'd "get in gear" after I got back (that means nursury, take classes, pick a damn hospital, buy a car with 4 doors!
Rant/Rave/Symptoms: I'm just feeling so bitchy. Everything and everyone is pushing my buttons right now! I'm so excited for these sweet baby boys but I am so glad this is the last time I have to be pregnant! I have a friend who has one daughter who is 12 years old and I swear she has forgot everything about being pregnant. I'm so tired of hearing how much she loved being pregnant and how it was such a magical time. Blah, blah, blah! I currently have two aliens inside me battling it out for space that is only going to get tighter! I'm tired, hungry and constantly stuffed up. No magic here! Told you, I'm just really bitchy! We're going away to our family cabin this weekend with friends, so maybe that will improve my mood!!
What are you doing to prepare for baby? The Gap was having a sale yesterday, so I got some really cute outfits for the little guys. I really need to start working on the nursery!!
Questions? Nope
GTKY: Do you have any tattoos? If so, how many? What are they? I literally have the most stereotypical tattoo for a girl my age - a "trampstamp" of a butterfly. In my younger self's defense, it's not a typical butterfly, it's actually a pretty cool butterfly. I'm pretty sure my husband hates it; although, he'd never say so. He has a sun on his bicep, but really hates tattoos and regrets getting his. I can't see mine, so it doesn't really bother me!
I was cranky this morning with sickness & had no rave... Just wanted to add one now that I've been awake for a while... Being in bed means feeling & seeing lots of baby kicks!!! Seems little one really likes blue Gatorade as its been kicking up a storm!! Makes me so happy to know everything is ok in there
@MsBeachNJ My little one was loving the blue gatorade yesterday, too! He's been so active while I've been stuck laying in bed, too...at least we've got them to keep us company & cheer us up! Hope you're feeling better soon!
Late start this morning. I read everything but I'm on the app so forgive my lack of replies this morning.... I'm sure y'all understand.

Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I was at the ER for 6 fucking hours last night. I had this terrible pressure like someone had sat a stack of bricks on my chest that would not go away. So they ran a bunch of tests, my HR was elevated so they pumped me full of fluids, tried to give me an xray but since all the tests were coming back normal and I was feeling better I opted out of it unless it worsened. They checked baby and he was fine so they basically told me I was probably experiencing some really bad indigestion. So I was at the ER for fucking heartburn. I felt like such a drama queen. We didn't get home until like 2am so I'm taking off work today - maybe school. Hm.
GTKY: Do you have any tattoos? If so, how many? What are they? I have one. The Christian fish on my shoulder with the initials of a good friend who committed suicide in high school. It doesn't feel as representative of her as it did when I was 18 so I'm considering covering up with something bigger after the baby is born. I love tattoos. I want a few more. H hates them, though so I've kind of held off on getting any others. He'd never say anything but I guess it'd bugs me knowing that he would hate it. I'll probably still do the cover up at least and something to represent this LO.
Well, I wanted to respond to everyone this morning, but y'all beat me awake by hours! Just know that if you had bad news - I've said a prayer for you. If you had good news - I'm cheering for you in my head!

Rant: My mom and I normally have a great relationship. Yesterday I called her to whine about pregnancy symptoms and all the vices I had to give up, and her response was "I didn't look at it that way. You're going to get a baby out of it." Well, yes. I know that. And I'm excited for that part. But in the mean time I just needed to vent and not be told that I'm already a crappy mom for feeling this way. Symptoms: The moodiness continues.
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Today marks day one that I'm going to try and cut back on sugar. I scheduled my GD test for next month, and I'm terrified...
Questions?
GTKY: Do you have any tattoos? If so, how many? What are they? I've wanted a tattoo on and off over the years, but never found anything I couldn't live without. I like them on other people, just not for me or hubby.
Rant/Rave/Symptoms: Rave: After talking to my boss, I found out he's just going to keep my pay going throughout maternity leave (NOT expecting that!) I'm also working from home today! Symptoms: feeling good today! Last night my back was killing me and this morning I was another early riser thanks to a 4am party in my uterus, but I wasn't even angry
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Nesting really early it feels like. Trying to take advantage of working from home to organize rooms
Questions? Who wants to take my glucose test for me tomorrow morning?
GTKY: Do you have any tattoos? If so, how many? What are they? I have two - a shamrock on my hip and a nautical star I got with some friends in college on my foot.
And since I'm way late and everyone has posted already it feels like: @mrsschmity - very nice DH! Mine was like that the first round too.. not so much this time! Ha! @mrsb8214- so sorry to hear about the job situation. Fingers crossed everything works out! @MsBeachNJ - hope you feel better soon! Exciting for the bedding though! @hockeyfan42- congrats on DH's promotion! That's awesome! @diesel615 - That stinks you had to spend the day in L&D! Hope things calm down soon! And boo to a butchered tattoo! Are they offering to fix it at all? @bakerbird525 - we took our classes around April (DS was a late May/early June baby). We didn't do a hospital tour though.. @mkemommy - hoping all your meetings make your day go faster! @Trinirican3ondway - sorry to hear about your mom! Prayers for a quick recovery for her! @Bankssl1 - yay for a clean house! @alohasoprano - any luck with the deal? Do whatever you need to do! @chelseay416 - that is super annoying! I think since it's YOUR shower, there should be a mocktail that can easily be made a cocktail! @lavina2244 - I love that squat rule! I may need to steal that @ahernandez16 - boo heartburn! Sorry you had to spend time in the ER!
@mommarich - That would have annoyed me too... Sometimes you just need to let it out and not hear about how you're a whiner or it will get worse! You're not already a bad mom.
@ahernandez16 with my daughter, I was at the ER from 7pm-7am one night in a lot of pain, crying, thinking every time I went to the washroom I'd find blood, just beside myself, and it was apparently just bad RLP. It still seems weird and exceptional to me because it's like nothing I've had since with that or this pregnancy but I felt like a huuuge drama queen. Still, such relief to know it's nothing worse--- better safe than sorry so I'm sure you did the right thing.
Thanks, ladies! I'm super glad it wasn't anything serious because it freaked me out. But I'm like 90% sure the person in the room down the hall from me died last night so once I started feeling better and they told me it was likely just indigestion I felt super ridiculous. Stocking up on Tums.....
I'll tell you, though. Going to the ER with chest pain and being pregnant gets you into a room insanely quick.
@ahernandez16 - Sorry that was how you had to spend your evening but I don't blame you for going in!
How far along are you? 23 weeks today!
Rant/Rave/Symptoms: Rant - my pregnant self is incredibly clumsy and tired today. I've dropped/ran into everything imaginable and I have zero work ethic or focus today...my to-do list is also incredibly long so I don't have time to not be focused! Rave - feeling LO a lot
What are you doing to prepare for baby? Sam old decisions I can't seem to make... curtains, car seat, decor, etc.
GTKY: Do you have any tattoos? If so, how many? What are they? I have 1 on my left wrist that is an infinity symbol with the word family in script underneath. I got it after I lost three grandparents in a very short amount of time and had just broke off an engagement and just felt closer to my family than ever. I was a SUPER wimp though and almost passed out so while I'd love another one I'm not sure I'll ever get the guts to do it!
@Trinirican3ondway They're made by Cadbury and they only come out for Easter. They have a hard crunchy candy shell and a milk chocolate interior. CRACK!
@cdnrunning I actually got different ones! I got actual mini Cadbury cream eggs, they sold them in a little dozen pack, about the size of chocolate eggs! I'll have to look for the kind you're referring to!
@MsBeachNJ Oh I love those too!! As I type this, I'm finishing a large bag of mini eggs. Didn't they say something about needing another 300-400 calories a day????
