August Randoms!!!

Re: August Randoms!!!

  • @Megan324 usually when you return target diapers that came with a gift card deal they divide the value of the gift card among the diapers. It states the return value on the original receipt. So let's say for easy math's sake the boxes cost $25 each and it's buy 2, get a $10 gift card, the return value for each box is $20. So, in that case, you effectively walk away with $5 off value for one box, which you wouldn't get otherwise, but it's hardly stealing.

  • Ok trying to catch up so sorry if some of these are from a little ways back:

    @yellowrose314 having just finished my NCLEX in February I can say I would have enjoyed a massage or something much more after. I was way to stressed out beforehand and would have felt I was just missing time. I read the prioritization, delegation and assignment book by LaCharity and thought it was the most helpful because the questions were actually like what I saw on the NCLEX. Good luck on your exam!!! Oh and Happy birthday!!! 

    @Bibliobebe the only time I have thyroid problems is during pregnancy. Mine has been out of whack this entire pregnancy. I'm not so worried about afterward though and don't think I'll bother getting it checked again unless there seems to be a reason. 

    @Sarafuss hopefully they make a decision soon. I would think with your blood pressure readings they'd be leaning toward going ahead to induce. Keep us informed and rest up! 
  • @yellowrose314 happy birthday! 

    I finally bought some nb diapers, pads, travel toiletries etc for the hospital bag. After the munchkins go to bed, I'm going to organize everything and pack everyone's bags. And clean my house. I have a pack of soothers and breast pads left to buy. 

    Speaking of soothers, do you think I would be safe to assume that the kind my DD2 took would be the same kind that this baby would take to? My older two never had soothers.

  • I am sorry I have been so busy the past few days, got a visit from friends :D It was very nice. It took me a while to catch up on all the posts in here lol. I won't comment on everything since I am so late but I want to make sure I congratulate @jensou and @lissvarna on their beautiful beautiful babies!! They are so adorable!  <3
    All these cute babies are making me so exited and making it even harder to wait, only two more weeks until due date!! 

    @Bibliobebe I already have Thyroid issues so I cannot say about this new studies. I will definitely get tested again before we do another frozen transfer to make sure my levels are still okay, and then again during pregnancy.
    It is a very easy test thought, only a blood test and that's it. So you may want to consider doing it just for peace of mind? 

    @RedMar Okay this is super silly... I have seen you post since the very start of this board and I only NOW realized your icon is a dog wearing a little hat, I swear I tought it was a cow all this time. XD

  • @AnnaS930 @yellowrose314 @toimadness1 @alyeena Thanks for your feedback ladies. I'll at least keep it in mind in case things don't feel right postpartum.

    @yellowrose314 Happy Birthday! I hope you enjoyed your spa trip and your special day! Birthdays are always special and even if we're all grown-up like I think we should still get to feel giddy and excited about it. :smiley:

    My computer woes are at least coming out on a good note. Hard drive and battery are failing (3 year old Mac smh) and have to be replaced but our warranty covers all of it. That's about $500 of savings. Whew. AND those important documents get to stay put! Double whew!

    The only other thing of note to happen today - I drank half a scoop of whey protein powder in an attempt to up my protein without having to stuff my mouth with veggie meats all day (which is getting harder to do with less appetite). I picked the protein powder based on it saying %100 Whey and not having any ingredients that I didn't at least semi-recognize. No added herbs or artificial sweeteners. Then, as I'm downing that crap I get a weird feeling and check the canister again just in case. In teeny tiny letters that I totally missed before it says "Not safe for pregnant or nursing women". WELL YAY! Back to the veggie meat and weird tasting Luna protein bars.

  • @MrsVoorhees I'm so sorry! If my husband did that I would be livid too!

  • My left armpit smells more than my right (which is oddly still relatively fresh). This is the second day in a row that I have noticed it, and find myself doing random comparison sniffs. Lefty is pretty funky.
    This happens to me, too - but even when not pregnant! My right is always sweatier/worse smelling. It's so weird!

  • @Alyeena haha that's funny! It's my border collie (known to be a herder) dressed up as a sheep for Halloween. We kept making "baaaaaa" noises at her and she was going nuts lol
  • Mmm I love breakfast for dinner. Though DH and I call it BFD. Ha. 
  • @yellowrose314 that is an awesome story. I just don't understand the appeal to smoke! My brother is a smoker and it drives me nuts.  At any rate, a couple months ago on the day of an in service for teachers there was a competition held at our high school for musical groups. As we were walking out of the school a bunch of students were standing in front of coach busses. We cut through the busses to get to our cars and the bus driver was standing there smoking. I immediately burst out that it's illegal to smoke in school grounds. I doubt that I would have blatantly said that normally but man, pregnancy has taken away any filter I used to have.

  • @yellowrose314 I'm not saying that it was worth the risk to the health of the baby, but the experience of watching her get her comeuppance had to be so satisfying.
