I need more yoga pants. I have one pair and they are my favorite right now since it's too hot for sweat pants and anything with a full panel makes me stabby.
I finished my work for the day, so I'm putting my mad organizational skills to work making a color coded interchangeable daily schedule and chore/responsibility chart for my kids. Totally making cut outs for each task/activity, laminating them and putting magnets on the back. I need some way to save a little shred of sanity and order during summer break. It's day 3 and we're already starting to fall apart. Not anymore!
My anxiety is getting the best of me after my anatomy scan. I hate that they don't let the US tech tell you anything.

Try meeting your doctor after the a/s and have her tell you "i cant seem to access your u/s pics becuase of the computer, but your belly s size looks normal" just to get rid of you within the five mins she usualy allows per patient." I feel you ❤️
I wish I could show you the costume that caused me to question if I had my tetanus shot or not. But only pic I have is it on my girls and it's packed away. But that sucker was gorgeous and painful lo @bluejeanbabi05
Also, I got the blood test done after my anatomy scan, which was 2+ weeks ago now. They told me if everything looked good, I'd get a yellow postcard in the mail, and if there was something wrong, my doctor would talk to me about it. Well, it's been over the 10 days they said it would take for the postcard to get here, but my doctor didn't mention anything wrong at my last appt. Am I worrying for no reason? WHERE ARE YOU POSTCARD??
@jessafishy I hate that they can't tell you anything either. I hope you hear great news soon! When do you meet with your Doc?

@jessafishy and @jessirh, hope they don't make you wait long! I can understand how anxious both of you must be, I am sure all is well, hope you don't have to wait long!
My next appointment isn't until July. I'm going to call the OB office tomorrow I think and tell them I want to hear something no matter what.

@jessafishy wow so weird they didn't give you guidance. During my as, the tech was pretty cold but she did tell me everything looked fine, then I had an appt with an ob right after. I didn't realize that wasn't standard practice- it really should be.
I seriously cannot believe I pulled this ish off with the jeans! Highly recommend if you have jeans you don't mind messing with! Sorry if these pics are huge; as always, on mobile.

I'm FINALLY catching up on TB. Been so busy the past 2 weeks trying to get my life back together. I'm finally caught up at work so I can go back to my usual bumping. It looks like it's been pretty quiet around here though!
I've bought maternity pants but am still in that between stage where my regular pants are way too tight but I feel like the maternity pants fall right off my booty. I go for the fall off my booty pants because muffin top just doesn't work for me.
@jessafishy I would be so furious if I were you. Is it only standard at your OB to not tell the patient anything? Because I had mine yesterday and the tech talked us through what she was looking at and then once we were done went and talked to a doctor. It wasn't my OB but once the doctor took a look at the pictures she came in to tell us the results. I can't believe they would make you wait! I'm sure that everything is fine with your baby but let us know asap when you find out the results! Sending positive vibes your way
I don't even know how to catch up on everything. Do I go back and read through everything I missed? Do I just say eff it and jump back in without reading everything? First world problems..
@dumbledoredies Our anatomy scan is at the hospital versus being in office. And it was just a tech and not a doctor so maybe that's why she can't say much.

@jessafishy sorry your AS was so ambiguous/vague. We had ours with a tech, but she spent a solid hour with us and talked to us the whole time about what she was seeing and assuring us that everything looked good and normal.
If you're really feeling anxious, could you call your doctor and ask her to put your mind at ease?
@jessafishy I had the same experience with my AS. The tech said absolutely nothing and gave no indication one way or the other. I had to wait until my next ob appt. a week later to learn that the results were fine. I had a lot of anxiety during that week. Since your next ob appt isn't for a while, I think it's worth while to call and ask them to get back to you with the results either way, for peace of mind, like you suggested.

@jessafishy mine was also at a hospital with a tech. Maybe they've had issues with techs being incorrect about things in the past so they banned them from giving any results. Are you going to call today? Let us know if you do and what they say!
there are 2 techs at my place. one is really friendly and will chat along with me - she was the one i had when there was an issue with DD1's heart pictures (everything was fine but needed to be reviewed more closely). she assured me everything was ok and just casually said "i need to send these pics to be reviewed, they are so strict now days!" so i didnt even think twice of it. then the doc came in and explained it to me. but i had no reason to be alarmed.
then there is stone cold sally. i try to crack jokes with her and get her to talk and she refuses. just does her business and thats it. so i always feel uneasy with her. but there has never been an issue with her scans.
i think techs either go into that job bc they have a technical mind, or like being around people (other factors too but i am generalizing). technical mind people tend not to communicate wells with others. so i think it is just a personality thing. i obviously much prefer the "friendly" one. but i just think it boils down to personalities.
Cold techs don't sound good! I've lucked out with both techs I've had so far.
Also, very random, but I noticed just about everything I have posted today has had some sort of grammatical error. Sorry ladies. I blame pregnancy brain.
I get sent to a radiology clinic rather than have my AS at the OB office. The tech there prepped me at the start of the appt that she's not allowed to tell me anything because the radiologist and my doctor have to review the results before any info is released. She could show me a couple things, but couldn't say if something was normal or not. It was good to know that up front, or I'd have worried.
Re: Random Chats | 6/5
Since they usually are made a little larger, I've found that a lot of the maternity tops that I have are long enough to wear with leggings.
I finished my work for the day, so I'm putting my mad organizational skills to work making a color coded interchangeable daily schedule and chore/responsibility chart for my kids. Totally making cut outs for each task/activity, laminating them and putting magnets on the back. I need some way to save a little shred of sanity and order during summer break.
