Wow!! What an asshole!! Sorry you had to hear something like that @Schell2013.
Married 11-11-11 TTC only since Dec 2015. I had some weight to get off. Been working hard in the gym for over a year. BFP 02-15-16 with our first IT'S A BOY!!!
@schell2013 that's horrible about your doctor! Lying so you don't have a vbac that's so extreme! And about GD! If you have to go back to him I would make hI'm show you the results... that seems illegal!
@Schell2013 I'm so sorry that happened to you, I would not have been able to hold it together after that! That is really unfair that he's not supporting your desire to have a VBAC without good reason. I had a stressful experience a few weeks ago where I had to see the on call doctor instead of my regular doctor, and it really made appreciate my OB. The on call doctor had terrible bedside manner, was not reassuring at all and it was impossible to tell if the situation was serious or normal (ended up being totally fine) based on her responses. Thinking back, my OB is the only doctor I remember having that I can I actually say that I like, which is really pathetic. I hate when doctors can make you feel like there's something really wrong, but can't fully explain it to you.
@Schell2013 That is so messed up! We place so much trust in our doctors to keep us in our best health and to abuse that trust that way is awful!! So much unneeded stress! And then to criticize your weight gain?! You haven't gained any more than a healthy pregnant woman should! I think it's time for a new OB.
@annabenanna I adore decorating for fall and Christmas and kind of figured if I didn't this year and came home with a baby to NO festive fall home it may add to any potential baby blues! SO I hauled out our stuff and decorated last weekend. May be a little early but figured I should do it before I get any more uncomfortable!! So I say go for it, especially if it's something you always do and enjoy!
@Schell2013 Ew ew, what a d!ck! I wish I could send you my ob. I've gained over 60 pounds (due to being stuck on bed rest so long) and she hasn't said a word. And for him to lie about GD and freak you out for no reason? My gosh, can you report him to someone? I seriously want to kick him in the balls.
@Schell2013 I am so sorry you are having to deal with that! I would flat demand a different OB. I am floored at what he's said to you.
I love decorating for fall and Halloween! DH was kind enough to pull out all my many boxes of decorations last night. I plan to dig in once football gets going today.
I am for sure going to try and find a new OB and if for some reason I have to see that same TW again I'll be bringing either my husband or my dad (poor guy) with me so he doesn't feel like he can bully me around anymore so easily. I would be curious to know what he would of said if I had someone with me. I couldn't even talk and stick up for myself, it's was frigging brutal. I will be definitely writing a letter or doing whatever it is so he is complained about.

DD had a game this morning and then we ran errands for a few hours and now my feet are so swollen that my skin hurts. I'm so ready to be done with this.
DH is out of town for the night and I took DS to QDoba for dinner, now we're going to buy a toy in Meijer. Really trying to savor these last few weeks with my baby before he's promoted to big brother.
@F47 I've found that I am really spoiling on DD1 now that my due date is closing in. I'm more excited than ever for this LO, but I will also miss my one-on-one with DD1. It is definitely bitter sweet!
This pineapple looked so good at the store. Couldn't wait to get home and have some. Forked a piece and the consistency was all wrong. That's because it's yellow watermelon. FML.
@f47 and @SuperNerd42 I feel like my 2.5 year-old is being extra cute lately just to make me feel bad about all the attention he's not going to get in a few weeks. He's currently "reading" (i.e. reciting from memory mostly accurately) A Napping House to my husband before bed. I'd almost be willing to tack on another two weeks of pregnancy just to get more time with him. Almost. (Cue contraction.)
Okay this is super weird. But today I have had 0 Braxton hicks, 0 hip pain, 0 pelvic pressure and have had an insane amount of energy. Is it a sign? Or am I just getting lucky and getting one random easy day?

@ignoscemihi I've been Feeling the same about DS! He's just the cutest and being so sweet and so funny lately.
....UNTIL TONIGHT. As I said, DH is out of town. DS went to sleep at 8 like normal. It's 11:21 now and he's been awake crying four times. Four! Dude, it's not even midnight...
@serenaxo84 & @kmolleltz I have no idea! It just added to my confusion and disappointment. It tastes like regular watermelon. Which is fine, if watermelon is what you're after!
Today is Sunday. Tanzania basically shuts down on Sundays for church stuff, at least until mid afternoon. So WHY in the world did a road grader go by my house at 6:30 am today, which shook my entire house for a few minutes? Not my favorite thing...

Sad for you. Wednesdays are my bad days. I work til midnight which means I can't fall asleep til around 2, and I swear my neighborhood is the first stop on the garbage man's route. It's at like 7:30 am and it's so loud it sounds like the truck is dumping garbage on my head. (slight exaggeration) but I loathe wednesdays.
Didn't get to Bump much yesterday because I had H's best friend's wedding to go. While we were there, DH asked her and her husband to be the baby's godparents. Presbyterians don't actually have godparents, but she was so excited that I kept my mouth shut. Lol.
Then we danced allllllll night. The photographer kept taking pictures of everyone dancing with me cause they were rubbing on the baby and I was swinging him around. I'm sure those will be very unattractive pictures. Lol. But maybe it helped shake him loose! There was an OB nurse who asked if she could feel my belly and guess when he'll come. She thinks 39+4. So people started placing bets. Lol
It was a fun day and it looks like some babies were born as well! Congrats to the mamas!!
@f47 those nights are awful. I hope he went back to sleep and slept in this morning.
After a total of 7 wake ups, I gave him some Tylenol wondering if maybe he was getting sick (and knowing that he typically sleeps well when he's had it and I was desperate). He finally slept from 3 to 7:45... I guess I'll take it.
Okay so we completely moved into our new house today! I am so sore and tired, 37 weeks tomorrow! It feels SO incredible to not have everything we own crammed into one room after nearly 7 months of that!
For those of you asking about yellow watermelon... We bought it one time and I thought it was amazing! Very sweet:) just my opinion but now we can't find it anywhere!
