Ugh. This is gonna sound so dumb. I am not a side sleeper normally. And now that I am, my arms keep falling asleep so I have to toss from side to side. Am I doing it wrong? I usually sleep on my back and barely move through the night. I'm so tired.
Do you have a body pillow? I've found that sleeping in between back and side with a pillow propped under my back seems to help. Also folding my pillow in half so that my head is a little more propped up helps take the pressure off my shoulders and my arms don't fall asleep as often. But....now my hips are starting to hurt. Ugh.
@mrsmarygs my MIL gave me a boppy thing, which Ive only used once. but I found it weird because when I changed sides I had to bring the whole pillow with me.... But maybe I was doing that wrong too, haha
@margareth I've been eating Chipotle this pregnancy. It's so yummy. I believe the e.coli issues were over a year ago. I haven't heard anything since then so I don't worry about it.
When I was getting ready for work this morning, I thought about changing my clothes because I felt like my belly was particularly prominent in this outfit. DH said, "You're pregnant, you're supposed to have a belly," so I decided not to change. When I got to work, the first thing someone said to me was, "Wow. You look really pregnant in that shirt."

Sleeping when you're pregnant just sucks. I am a belly sleeper normally, which is uncomfortable now. I use a body pillow and sleep on my side now. I toss and turn all night flipping from side to side and dragging that huge pillow with me. It's my hips that hurt most. And then once baby is bigger you will finally get comfortable and then need to pee 437 times per night anyway. You can't win.
@bridge-and-wall ROCK IT MAMA! DH will not be at any of the school events today in Corpus Christi. He originally wasn't on this show, he switched with someone else. He also said "This is my last year on the team, I don't do as many events as I used to, let the new guys do it." Soooo there's that.
@wyomama0427 I guess at least she said pregnant and not fat or huge.
@labby18 Good that he doesn't have to go to all the school events. Maybe he can get some down time. It's nice to be able to pass some work off to the new guys.
@bridge-and-wall maybe she meant it in a good way but it came out wrong? My sister was always such an ass and she'd always call me "fatty". It was very hurtful. I hope in the future she's more thoughtful
@wyomama0427 That is ridiculous. Your sister has no right to say stuff like that. I'm sure that this person meant it in a nice way (everyone here knows I'm pregnant), but I'm overweight anyway and particularly sensitive about my stomach being large. If someone called me "fatty" right now, I'd collapse in a pool of tears. I just don't get why people feel the need to comment about anyone else's size.
Because only y'all will appreciate this, I tried to cut and paint my toenails today. Damn that was a lot of work and I am tired now. Also I think my 2 yo could have done a better job.
@DPandMB My diaphragm hates me when I bend over, I'm impressed you finished! DH has volunteered to paint my toe nails next time I need it, so my toes may look even worse just as bad.
I've been having some issues with drinking enough water, and I've seen several other ladies post about the same issues. But I found this adorable app that tracks water consumption and you grow little plants. It's called Plant Nanny. It's helped me so much and it's fun and cute. Look I'm growing a French mushroom!
@DPandMB ryan reynolds gifs! on weight gain. go go go go
Oh I was there! I didn't even notice the thread before someone mentioned it in the FFFC, but Ryan Reynolds gif parties are like a beacon for me. I will never miss that. Thanks remembering me.
piggybacking off of @labby18 's post. What's the deal with dying my hair? I'm generally a boxed color person (cause holy hell that sh*t is expensive at a salon). Is whole head coloring OK? I've heard highlights are fine, but wasn't sure about the full color.
@cats*in*space I think you're good with the whole noggin, but i think you gotta test it because apparently our hair can be super different with color now...that's why I'm going with high lights. (i got a groupon so it wasn't so pricey)
@LosAngelesMama THANK YOUU! DH asked me to try to let my natural hair color grow out...ain't nobody got time for that. I'm just ready to chop it back up to just shoulder length ish and freshen the color. Ever since I moved from my hometown (5 years ago) and left my hair stylist, I get really nervous going to a new place.
@labby18 My cousin used to cut my hair. He passed away a few years ago. I still get nervous going to someone else for a haircut. I always go way too long between cuts.
@labby18 About four years ago I decided to chop off all my hair (also shoulder length) and dye it close to my natural color so that when it started growing out you couldn't tell the difference. My hair was pretty damaged and I wanted it to be healthy and long again. So now 4 years later I have my natural hair color/super long hair and I love it. But I do miss all the fun colors/highlights!
But enjoy your new look. I'm kind of jealous! and I hope your hair stylist does a great job. Share pictures if you can!
@LosAngelesMama most of my hair is my natural color actually because I matched it before, but it's getting dull and I will do a before and after picture for sure.
@Cats*in*space I refuse t give up my color! I'm going a full head of deep blue next week. Keeping really harsh products, like bleach or harsher hair lighteners, off your scalp, and ventilation are the biggest issues from everything I've researched. And fwiw, this will be the second time I've dyed my hair since I got pregnant, and my hair might actually be holding color better than before. My biggest worry is that my hair seems to be drier, so I'm conditioning more than before, using a leave-in conditioner, and I'm going to have my hair lady do a moisture mask before she puts the color on.
