Randoms: Week of April 17th

Have any thoughts, questions, feelings, fears? Spill them here!

This is a good place to ask questions to a broader audience than the weekly trimester check-ins so those with experience can chime in!

Okay, I'm struggling with finding this information on Google so I'm hoping maybe one of you ladies have better insight and knowledge. We have the Chicco KeyFit carseat and Bravo stroller. I'd like to buy a second hand jogging stroller but cannot find what the KeyFit will work with, even with an adapter, to save my life. People are selling Baby Trends like CRAZY in my area but, from what I've read, even with an adapter these two don't play nice. Anyone?

@Byrneme i don't know about the bravo stroller, I know the keyfit works with mountain buggy strollers using an adapter. (also as a side not for anyone with twins the mountain buggy duo was the only stroller to allow side by side car seats and it still fits through a door.) GL

Anyone have experience with or heard stories about positive results from membrane sweep?? I'm 2 days past my due date, and getting desperate.

byrneme · April 2017

@babylonghorn16 - argh! I've had several friends do it, some worked and some didn't. My opinion is, if your OB is on board and you want to do it, it can't hurt to try! Good luck

@babylonghorn16 I had my doc do it with my daughter, went into labor the next day! My doctor said I was close anyway so I don't know if it pushed me or not. Hurt a bit but not bad.

Well I didn't think I had crazy pregnancy hormones yet, but I just caught myself crying and angry because DH ate the last orange. I guess they snuck up on me

Haha @ChocolateIsLife!

Polythene Pam · April 2017

@ChocolateIsLife haha!! I flat out started bawling at an insurance commercial. My husband just stared at me.

@ChocolateIsLife they snuck up on me as well. I started crying when DH dropped me off at work due to forgetting my lunch, an Arby's roast beef sandwich. I had been looking forward to it since the night before.

@byrneme @Polythene Pam thanks for your input! Unfortunately, doctor couldn't even get into my cervix to perform the sweep. Said I'm a "steel trap". At 40 weeks 4 days, no one wants to hear that! So looks like I'll be going in Sunday night for some cervix ripening drugs and then induction if needed in the wee hours of Mon morn. Ahh well. Per usual, just gotta roll with the punches.

@Polythene Pam some of the commercials really grab my heart strings too! There is a dog food commercial from a few years ago, I think I shared on my BMB a while back. It seriously makes me start bawling every time I see it on youtube.

@Kp214 Forgetting lunch is definitely a cry-worthy moment! I hope you found a tasty alternative!

hormones...

@ChocolateIsLife - I have been so emotional since having babies. DH forgot to take the garbage to the curb today and I got so mad I started balling. Hormones can make you feel a bit crazy.

@ChocolateIsLife what I ate wasn't nearly as good. However, when I got home, I devoured the sandwich!

I had a student tell me about a health issue yesterday and I started tearing up. Another student told me he "knew the stuff on the test but forgot one thing," that's why he made a 24. I had to bite back several response to that one since that was false. I need summer break to get here soon before I start crying in front of my students or say something I shouldn't.
