I have two sore (bruised-feeling) spots in my belly (one at the bottom left and one at the top right) where the boys are pressed into me. I had a hard time sleeping last night because it hurt to lay on either side.
Other than that, I'm good.
Upcoming appointments?
Checkup on 7/22.
Rants/Raves/Questions:
I can't believe that I've probably only got somewhere between 3 and 6 weeks left. Time has flown.
GTKY: What was you favorite childhood toy?
My stuffed Fievel (the mouse from An American Tale). When I got him, he was almost as big as I was!
I still have him and can't imagine ever losing him. He went on every trip I went on growing up, travelled the US, got left in an airport (thankfully my dad worked for an airplane manufacturer right next door and ran over and grabbed him as soon as we landed at our destination and were able to call him and tell him that Fievel had been left behind "watching the planes take off") and I slept with him every night. He's one of my most prized possessions.
How are you feeling? Meh. Very pregnant. My migraines have been flaring up lately, and the auras are so unpredictable. When I get an aura I can't see very well to drive, so I get nervous to drive places alone.
Upcoming appointments? 21st. Had one this week and all went well.
Rants/Raves/Questions: Rant: my husband is going out of town for work this week--I already hate when he travels but with the migraine stuff I am bracing myself for a very not-fun week ahead. Also, DH is going to Seattle, where we used to live, so he's going to get to visit with one of my closest friends. I'm totally jelz.
GTKY: What was your favorite childhood toy? We had these three giant stuffed unicorns that I used to LOVE. No clue where they came from, but there was a yellow, pink, and blue one. My sister and I used to "ride" them around our bedroom like maniacs.
How are you feeling? Heartburn is really flaring up and constipation has reared its ugly head again..
Upcoming appointments? 32 week appointment July 25th
Rants/Raves/Questions:
GTKY: What was you favorite childhood toy? Pictures welcome! Barrie's for sure! My mom made me keep all of them and I'm so excited to play with them when DD is old enough.
How are you feeling? Overall pretty good. Only about 3 weeks left of scheduled shifts as nurse, and then I think I'm going to ask my midwife to put me on medical leave until the baby gets here (gotta love Canadian EI!) I was feeling pretty bummed out because I failed my 2 hr GTT, so I'm off to see the Diabetic Educator nurse on Monday, but I've been testing since Wednesday when I got the news, and my blood sugars have been pretty good so I'm feeling good about it so far.
Upcoming appointments? Diabetic educator on Monday, ultrasound on Thursday So excited to see my little girl again!
Rants/Raves/Questions: I miss having long glorious pees... is that weird? I feel like every time I have to pee they're just tiny pees, even though they feel like they're going to be like that 30 second long first thing in the morning pee... this is super weird... sorry... lol
GTKY: What was you favorite childhood toy? My Sylvester (from Looney Toons) stuffy. Went with me everywhere, guarded against bad dreams, and was my imaginary friend for a good chunk of my childhood. When I was 9 we had this project to send a teddy bear around the world; you give it to a friend who's flying somewhere, they pass it on etc etc and eventually it comes back to you, with a little notepad saying where he's been. I decided to send Sylvester because I decided he deserved a vacation. He went all around the world; US, France, Italy, China, Austrailia, Chile, Costa Rica etc etc before coming home. Still have the notebook with all the notes in it!
A week from tomorrow for my 32 weep appt and also a dentist appt.
Rants/Raves/Questions:
How are y'all dealing with swollen feet? We have been doing wedding things all week and especially after wearing the uncomfortable wedding shoes, my feet have doubled in size. Anything besides putting them up on the wall? I may actually start this as its own thread.
GTKY: What was you favorite childhood toy? I don't know that I had a favorite toy
How are you feeling? heart burn daily, fatigue some pain in my hip joints
Upcoming appointments? I just had one a few days ago, and will have another the first week of August
Rants/Raves/Questions: We worked on nursery this weekend and it is finally starting to look like a nursery. My in-laws are going to help us with the furniture, but not until after the baby is born. We have a play-yard with a bassinet so other than the travel system we at least have the main things we need.
GTKY: What was you favorite childhood toy? My barbie doll had a pair of white leggings, a bathing suit and a matching sarong. I made so many different outfits for her with those three things.
@marikkita12 I've been having a hell of a time with swelling at work (12 hour nursing shifts). I found compression stockings, the knee highs, have helped tremendously. I also suggest decreasing your salt intake, increasing your water intake, and try to get off your feet 3 times a day for at least 20 minutes, get those feet elevated. Massage is also great, so get your man on that
Good. All belly this time so getting into scrubs is not working for me as my size keeps going up but still unable to fit my belly into them also the belly is totally in my way all the time. What a difference each pregnancy can be !
Upcoming appointments?
Next Wednesday for 32 + week appt.
Rants/Raves/Questions:
Way too much going on in my life right now but I know once I go out of work beginning of August life will be better. I work full time have 3 classes towards my masters and have a toddler. It's insane !
GTKY: What was you favorite childhood toy?
poly pockets ! And barbies ( my father just moved from our childhood house and he just found a stash of my Barbie still dressed the way I had them when I used them last !)
How are you feeling? Eh. I had to go to the hospital for monitoring twice last week for contractions. I was not progressing, which is good, but it definitely did a number on my body so I'm having lots of body aches.
Upcoming appointments? 7/21, I just had one on the 7th.
Rants/Raves/Questions: I have very little on my to do list which is great!
GTKY: What was you favorite childhood toy? Pictures welcome! Stolen from AmMcc12 I would say Barbies and Monopoly were my favorite things to play with as a kid.
eh...heartburn has been killing me. TMI--i've been throwing up/burping stomach acid. It happened last night not too long after i fell asleep. I had to sleep sitting up...it was a miserable night and i'm tired
Upcoming appointments?
7/19--growth scan 7/22--check-up
Rants/Raves/Questions:
GTKY: What was you favorite childhood toy? Little pet shop...or something like that. You could buy all these little different "pets" and of course accessories like the pet store or w/e. I remember playing with those a lot
Starting to swell and not liking it. Pregnant in summertime is not fun.
GTKY: What was you favorite childhood toy? A teddy bear I had named Squishington but called him Squishy. Don't have him anymore because I lost him while driving home from California. I was a mess but found the exact same bear that I can buy for my little one if I want to.
@yellowrose314 I completely feel you on the peeing thing. Almost every time I go I feel like it will be a lot and great flow but no it is not that much and weaker flow. I miss peeing normal lol.
