Tell Me Something Good! 7/12/17

crossfitbabybump · July 2017

I wanted to start a post asking all you lovely moms-to-be to maybe share something good or exciting that has happened to you this week! It can be something as simple as someone held the door open for you or paid for your food in the drive thru. Whatever it is, let's spread some good vibes. Babies love good vibes! And I'd love to hear all about it!

I can start. I posted in TW Tuesday about how work has been my TW. But after I posted that, I went upstairs to greet a client and they had a one week old baby girl. She was the most precious little peanut! I've had MS all morning but the moment I saw that little face it went away, briefly. But it was a brief moment that will get me through the rest of this MS. Knowing that at the end of all of this, I get to hold and snuggle and love a little human... makes it all worth it. That's my good vibe for this week.

I love this! I am having a rough week with spotting, finding out my progesterone is low, and waiting to hear back about betas. I am trying so hard not to stress or worry. So today when I went to get my blood drawn for my second betas and showed up to a giant line of people, I freaked since my 1yo won't sit still for too long. I gave the receptionist my phone number to call me when I'm up and went to the lobby of the hospital to play on the floor and explore with DS. In the lobby a LuLaRoe consultant was setting up for a fundraiser and I got to waste time shopping instead of worrying! She played with DS while I shopped and tried stuff on

I ended up buying 2 dresses while waiting to get my blood drawn. It was a much needed distraction!

@arhodes6 that is awesome to hear!! And you are definitely in my thoughts and prayers, love. Keep your head up!

TW* I had really icky luck with my doctors during my first two losses, so with my last loss I switched clinics. The doctor that did my u/s on Monday repeated over and over that if anything feels off, if I'm just feeling nervous, anything, to please call and they'll have me come in. This was such a relief to hear as with one of my previous losses they grumbled when I came in at 8 pm and they had to call in an ultrasound tech to see what was causing the bleeding. They told me it was senseless to do a u/s for me because even if I was miscarrying there was nothing they could do for me. I get that obviously, but a little more sympathy would've been nice.. Awful experience.

My toddler went down for a nap without any argument whatsoever. This is a miracle. Lol. At least I get to barf alone today.

ellekell · July 2017

That sounds like a terrible office @chasingroygbiv. I'm glad that you found a better one

ellekell · July 2017

My DD has a severe peanut allergy. And for the past year she has been in an OIT program (peanut desensitization). They start at the most minuscule amount of peanut protein (I think the starting dose was 1:100,000 of a peanut).

Its been a rough rough time with my daughter. She hasn't had any reactions while on the program. But she was really sick through most of her kindergarten year, and you have to down dose a lot during illnesses.

Well today she updosed to 250mgs of peanut! And she is 2 updoses away from dosing to a whole peanut! We are pretty thrilled about it.

crossfitbabybump · July 2017

@chasingroygbiv I am so sorry to hear you were treated so terribly! Monsters! But I am glad to hear you found a new place and you are in my thoughts and prayers!

@happymonkey817 lol love it! wish I could puke in peace! enjoy the quiet

@ellekell that is amazing to hear! Your daughter sounds like a trooper!! Give her lots of hugs!

Yesterday morning I went to get my 2 year old from his crib and I was already dressed for work and he said "Mama! That dress! So cute!" I am just loving how sweet he is lately!

My spidey senses are tingling, I think a bat signal as gone up somewhere.

crossfitbabybump · July 2017

@garnetmama so precious!!

runsoncoffee · July 2017

@ellekell I've never heard of that!! That's great news! Is the goal that someday she will be able to tolerate peanuts?

I got the majority of the food/food supplies needed for DSs birthday party next weekend at the discount grocery store all for less than $65!! We are having a pretty big party so I was really proud of that feat. Also got our one year photos back and they turned out amazing!

ellekell · July 2017

@scoogy19, her goal will be to eat 8 peanuts a day as a daily dose to keep her tolerance up. Once she reaches that goal, she should be able to free eat whatever she wants. But she hasn't really like the taste of peanut. So I can't imagine her eating them outside of her dose.

But after shes up to that dose, she'll be able to do fun stuff like getting ice cream at ice cream shops, and getting to eat cake at birthday parties without me having to bring her own allergy safe cupcake. She also won't have to sit at the peanut free table at school anymore.

Hope your DS's birthday party is a blast

brettanomyces · July 2017

@ellekell peanut free table? That sounds so sad. All the schools around here have banned peanuts (maybe all nuts, idk) completely.

chasingroygbiv · July 2017

Also, another nice thing. I truly LOVE our BMB! I feel like many are so supportive and caring even on threads that could go elsewhere or go without being posted at all.

mamaloba816 · July 2017

My 10 month old finally started crawling over the weekend! Yesterday at daycare pickup, he crawled over to me for the first time and he was smiling and giggling along the way. He usually flaps his arms and gets angry if I don't pick him up right away. It seriously melted my heart!

isntthatspeshul · July 2017

I'm going to Target today.

arhodes6 · July 2017

@chasingroygbiv I agree completely!! It's nice to have such an interactive but supportive BMB. My last BMB was really different and I mostly lurked because I was nervous to post and have it coke off the wrong way. I feel completely comfortable here

KLmyz · July 2017

YAy for good bmb board!! @chasingroygbiv @arhodes6 also at @isntthatspeshul I miss target ! I live in Canada and they closed them all

chasingroygbiv · July 2017

Yes @arhodes6 I've lurked a few that are quite intimidating!

@KLmyz Not in Canada, but ours closed, too. Awful. So, so awful.

arhodes6 · July 2017

@chasingroygbiv this one was intimidating for sure. That BMB even got into a turf war with another BMB and a bunch of regular posters on both boards got banned. It was extremely entertaining and I literally LOL'ed at the snark, but I didn't ever want to post.

Yeah, different schools handle food allergies differently. Some have peanut free tables. Some just put the kids with food allergies away from kids who bring allergens, but still at the same table.

Our school serves peanut free lunches, but a lot of kids bring their own lunches from home.

KristinUM12 · July 2017

I cloth diaper DS, and his diapers have been smelling badly of ammonia this past week, so I have to strip everything. I texted a friend who recently did this to ask what she did and she offered to bring me all her extra supplies to do it. Yay!!!! Small victories are the best.

@ellekell That is so wonderful that she's improving like that. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to work around a serious allergy for a child.

Also, I do love this BMB already. Everyone is so supportive and it seems like when someone gets flamed or there's some snark, it's not outright cruel. Yay for good BMBs!

chasingroygbiv · July 2017

@arhodes6 I must've missed that?!!
