Random Chatter week of May 8

What's up this week?

Re: Random Chatter week of May 8

  • My last "normal" week before my husband goes out of town for work for 2 weeks, and my son goes to grandma's house for a week. I'm trying to make a list of things to pack for a 2 year old for a week-long vacation. Doesn't help that we've been having the strangest weather, so I'll probably have to pack clothes for both warm and cold weather.

  • The weather! I agree @AdaByron, I started to unpack all my daughters summer clothes and then today its like 40 degrees.  I am ready for warm weather.  And this in between / back and forth stuff is annoying.

    On a related side note, I'm wearing tall boots today.  Its May, so I feel slightly guilty because these are not spring shoes, but boots also meant wearing cozy socks and I felt like I could use the pregnancy card to get away with it.

    +1 to the weather!! Not only from day to day, but even the temperature range within a day is driving me crazy. It was 36 while I was waiting for my train, and it's supposed to go up to 60. Also, zipping my spring coats is laughable. And I'm with you on cozy socks @notachanski! I'm wearing socks and pumas today and totally playing the pregnancy card!
  • @notachanski +1 to wearing tall boots today...with leggings and a sweater lol. It's cold and I want to be comfy.

  • @cielaw89 - I've heard that your feet won't shrink back (unless it's from swelling). Congrats on graduation!
  • @ginger1228 thanks! And I hope that it's swelling! I can't afford to buy all new shoes right now haha. 
  • I have been MIA for awhile but felt like I was better to come back.

    anyways.  Pre-eclampsia sucks. Hospital bed rest sucks.  Knowing I am going to have a preemie is really starting to sink in and scare me.

  • @cielaw89 - I totally get it! I hate buying shoes.  I'm so glad my feet haven't grown. Although my feet are two different sizes (one is 1/2 a size bigger so it's not just a little different like most people's) so I was kind of hoping just the one would grow and even them out! Ha!

    @kghusker1003 I am really sorry you are going through all of this, we are in a similar boat and if you ever want to talk I may not have the best advice by you have my complete empathy and sometimes it helps to commiserate 
  • Sorry to hear you are having a rough go @kghusker1003.  FX for you and your LO.

    @kghusker1003 I can't imagine being away from your home and bed and everything that long! I thought 3 nights was bad, but I'm sure that's nothing for you! Thinking of you and your sweet baby. Hoping for a safe delivery for both of you. Do they have a date they are aiming for to deliver you? 
  • Sending you best wishes, @kghusker1003
  • Thank you everyone for warm thoughts.  Our c-section is scheduled for May 25th. Baby will be 34 weeks.

    I just shaved my pits and legs for the first time in longer than I care to discuss. I consider this a win for the day! Also, pregnant woman and shaving are two fetishes that should not be combined. Not pretty.
  • Good luck @kghusker1003! Sending good thoughts to you and baby!

    @kghusker1003 thinking of you and sending love and prayers you and baby.

    I heard the term cricketing on the radio last week. When you just shave your legs and thenconstantly rub them together because they're so smooth  :D never heard anything more accurate! 

    @kghusker1003 sending prayers for a speedy and healthy next couple weeks! May 25 will be here before you know it! 

    Thanks to all the nurses!
  • @kghusker1003 Sending prayers your way lady!  We've missed you!  Hope all turns out well for your and LO!

    @chamomile-2 Yay for Nurses Week and all our nurse mamas!  I helped my mom make some truly adorable paper nurses hats last night for her coworkers and they're celebrating all week long.  Got to love nurses!

    In regards to weather, I got a sunburn on my knees, chest area, and lower half of my face on Saturday.   :/

  • I've been a tad MIA lately, and I am so sad to come back to your pre-eclampsia and hospital bedrest news @kghusker1003. Sending you lots of positive thoughts and prayers. Please keep us updated if/when you can. I can't imagine how stressful and scary this all must be. 
  • CejimlCejiml member
    @cielaw89 sadly my feet grew with my first and second. I was a true 9 now I'm a 9.5/10 depending on the shoe. Def wait until a couple of months to toss shoes though. I literally had to throw out a ton of shoes. Sad day
  • CejimlCejiml member
    @kghusker1003 also thinking of you. There are a few bed rest message boards  i found on google last baby. I was on modified home rest which is cake compared to hospital. Hoping it goes quickly for you and a smooth delivery for you and baby. 
  • @kghusker1003 - just letting you know you're in my thoughts as well!!!

  • @kghusker1003 im sorry you're stuck on hospital bed rest :( that's the pits! I hope things are progressing OK and am sending lots of positive vibes for your c-section.

  • @kghusker1003 Hang in there girl! My husband and his brother were both super premature and they turned out normal... nerdy but normal!

    @Xath June 15 is a great day! Haha my birthday! 

    And for all the people sad about the cool weather... if you would like to trade for a toasty vaca in Georgia I am totally in. It is getting up to 85 today and I feel instantly sick when I step outside. My house is set at 68 degrees and all the shades are closed. I am from Michigan orignally and miss the cooler springs a lot.
  • CPR79CPR79 member
    @ladybray we had a frost advisory this morning in Michigan, sure you still miss it?
  • @ladybray It is unseasonably cool in Boston and I am not minding it - still comfortable enough for me to walk to work, and the rain has finally let up this week! Also, the few warmer day's we've had made me realize how different the heat feels while pregnant. I don't even think I can wear my maxi dresses once the temps are above 75-80!

    Yowza, I missed this. Holy cow! So exciting to know the date, though I know it's a mixed bag and lots of other considerations. Will be thinking of you, as always, my fellow expatriate internet friend!

    @xath eee exciting! Prayers, love and good luck !:)
