    @stlbuckeye132 the ONLY reason I thought to look was because I’ve noticed recently that she’s starting to understand how zippers work. I’m so glad I looked because there’s actually no way I would have been able to function like a normal human being without my license for next few weeks until I could get a new one sent to me. 

    Also, everyone, the garbage was easily the most disgusting thing I’ve ever done and I need about five showers.

    My insurance company. They keep sending us new policy slips, with the wrong expiration year. They say the policy renewed Nov.11, 2017 and expired on Nov.11, 2017. They have sent the same slips 3 times now.

    @Dani103 she likes cleaning (I know, she’s an angel) but sometimes her idea of putting things “away” is putting them places they definitely, 100%, don’t go. Hence the license in the couch. 

    Also, 100% understand being over other people telling me to take it easy. I find myself downplaying what I do during the day a lot when I talk to my parents because they always tell me not to overdo it. It doesn’t bother me necessarily, I think it’s sweet, but it does get old fast.

    Me. I'm a TW because I'm pretty much the worst at being pregnant. I'm miserable and complain all the time.

    My daughter is also a TW. It's probably my fault because I'm not the ideal mom lately.

    @HappyMonkey817, I sit here too.  I am just so over being pregnant.  I'm ready to find out what I look like again after basically 3.5 years of being pregnant and for everything not to feel so hard!

    @stlbuckeye132 yea he's on medication now and should be better soon.  He's hobbling around because his joints are all inflamed.  Poor pup, well old man actually, he's 11 and we thought it was something way worse.

    This glucose test is a TW. I just drank the orange one and am sitting here for an hour with the biggest stomach ache. I went from being super hungry (I was told not to eat or drink before the test) to now feeling like I’m gonna vomit after having that thing. I don’t do well with this test. My sugar crashes fairly quickly after drinking it. All the other times my results came back as borderline low. I have my regular appointment after this and am gonna flip out if I have to wait a long time without some real food. Carbs/sugar and I do not mix will.

    @k318 who told you not to eat before your test? My ob said to have a good high protein breakfast before the test, to just avoid carbs and maybe fast an hour before the test. I hope your wait goes by fast and you can get something to eat soon!

    @k318 I took mine in the morning, too, and I brought a banana and yogurt to eat after the blood draw. Since I did mine early in the day, I was essentially fasting - I feel like I didn't get a ton of guidance on what to do, so when my instructions said no sugar 2 hours before the test, I just went full on fasting. Hope you are able to eat something soon and that you do well on your test!!

    @heatherdubrow OBs office told me that when they gave me the lab slip. So I just came here as soon as I woke up. 

    @amylonghorn thanks! My bag is definitely full of snacks for as soon as my blood gets drawn lol

    I've never heard of not eating before the glucose test.

    I had my appointment yesterday and my glucose test is at my next appointment. My OB said nothing to eat for 2-3 hours beforehand. So my appointment is 11:40 and I can eat my regular breakfast at 8 before I go. I know the 3 hour test they make you fast.

    It was miserable. And while I’m sitting there they told me my doctor was going to be around 2 hours late. So I went home and ate and am back waiting and waiting. I know, poor office management here as this is the case at least half of the time I was here. I was in the process of looking for a new doc when I found out I was pregnant and couldn’t find anyone else that delivers at the hospital I like that is remotely near my home.

    I'm pretty sure all the rules for the glucose test are all over the board, including the number that constitutes pass/fail.  For kid 1, when I failed the one hour, the phlebotomist whispered to me that she thinks the test is basically designed for people to fail so that they can charge you for further testing LOL.  It sucks because, one, GD is pretty serious, so you'd think better guidelines for first-round screening would be more consistent, and two, the three-hour test royally sucks.

    @bettyvonsomethingstein I was thinking the same thing. It seems like everyone gets told something different. And it’s not just differences between countries, which would be understandable, but the guidelines are all over the place in the US.

    @dani103 mine just turned two and he is hell on wheels some days. How can such a cute little thing go from being sweet and loving to banging their head on the floor and screaming in 2 seconds? All because he dropped a toy or something. I know it’s frustration and he is learning to channel it, but damn! I really wish I could have some booze

    Oh, I know!  We would have access to cobra if anything happens, but I don't like taking the chance or waiting and seeing like he said.  Not cool.

    @DDRRT1982, definitely. Not worth the risk of waiting to see what happens.

    My 2.5 yr old DS-I feel bad for writing this but he is definitely stressing DH and I out.  He gets out of bed multiple times a night and always tries to go into his big sisters room.  We have the baby gate up in front of his doorway along with two of those big plastic 10 gallon totes and empty laundry baskets to block the doorway off in the hallway.  We've taken everything hazardous out of his room (diaper cream and wipes on his changing table) so if he would just stay in his room I wouldn't care because after he fell asleep I'd just put him back in bed.  It's the getting out of his room and wandering around that bothers me because he will get into EVERYTHING, the fridge, the silverware drawer (once he put all the spoons under a chair cushion), pots and pans, my purse, anything.  He leaves a large trail of destruction after himself.

    Between him getting out of bed/his room, leaving a trail of destruction, and his newest trick of running away and "hiding" when we're trying to get him dressed to go somewhere it sucks.  DH does not deal well with stress and has a stressful job so when DS messes something up DH doesn't clean it up because he knows it will just get messed up again and snaps at the kids easier than I do because I have a lot more patience than him.  So while DS is the cutest thing in the world and can be super sweet, he's driving me nuts.  So now I have DH texting me about what new things DS has done while I'm at work and can't do anything about it so DH is going to get added to the TW list soon....

    @DDRRT1982: Keep in mind that you will (should) be able to change your coverage as a result of a life change. So, even if you don't want to keep the insurance through your job for the long haul you can do the smart, I mean safe, thing and enroll through your job now and switch when baby is born.


    On our way to baby #2!

    Exactly what I told my husband.  I think my coverage is actually better than his, so I am really not sure why he wasn't very nice about it all.  Thanks for the reassurance.
