Here is your place for weekly chit chat! No fun gifs because I still can’t figure out how to gif on mobile!

DH told me last night that I haven’t had much patience with DD lately, especially at bedtime when I’m at my sickest and tired of the fighting and resisting she’s done for the last 13 hours. 2 is so awesome.
Anyways, whether it’s hormones or whether he has a point I felt like a shitty mom so I decided to take her to a movie this afternoon to make up for it, just the 2 of us. I was nervous because she is wild and fearless and likes to run from me and isn’t always great at sitting still for long periods so I like having DH’s extra hands when we go out. But it turned out to be a lot of fun! We ate popcorn and laughed at the movie and I feel really proud of myself for handling the outing alone. In your face DH lol

I just have to put out there how awesome the Makena (progesterone shot) company is! My insurance denied the medicine, so my Makena rep called my Dr to have them appeal the decision and it was approved by 3pm today. The Makena rep called me and said my insurance had authorized the medicine, with a $616 copay per month. "That is a ridiculous copay. Let me enter your information into out copay assistance program. Tell me an amount you know you'll be able to pay each month that won't cause any hardships" she was able to get my copay down to $80 a month!!

this company

@middleschoolmommy - wow, that is fantastic!
@MouseMama817 - that sounds like fun!

DS and I went to the zoo today, and I think we were both tired and hot. DS asked to go home after a couple hours (which never happens) and I was more than happy to oblige.

firsttimespartanmom · June 2018

@MouseMama817 that sounds like so much fun for your daughter!

I think I have mentioned this before, but one of my best friends is getting married in a couple of months and I’m a bridesmaid. I ordered the non-returnable dress about three weeks before I found out I was pregnant. Thankfully, it’s super flowy so fits my belly just fine. The problem is that when I got measured for the dress, my chest was a 32. Now, it’s a 36. I have an alteration appointment tomorrow and I’m praying this lady can work a miracle so I can get it zipped and wear it!

runwmusic · June 2018

@firsttimespartanmom keep in mind a couple months out is a ways to go. Have you thought about getting a second round of alterations closer to the wedding? A bridesmaid was 9 months pregnant for my wedding and we out it off as long as possible just to be sure! Good luck on alterations!

firsttimespartanmom · June 2018

@ftm_jen yeah I will definitely have to do a second round. I’m taking it in today to see if there’s any way she can make it work or if I have to start over with a new dress. I’ll be about 25 weeks for the wedding so I’ll need to get it done closer to that so they can measure this giant belly correctly!!

wildrainbow · June 2018

Y'all, today's good morning is brought to you by an uninterrupted night's sleep! I didn't wake up to pee!! It feels like a whole new world!

middleschoolmommy · June 2018

We are having solar panels installed today. The installation crew showed up about an hour ago. It's now pouring down rain, thundering & lightening, and there is a chance of hail. -_-

BabyBoyH92016 · June 2018

I just realized that my doctor has never made me give a urine sample. I’m not quite sure what they test urine for at each appointment, but when I was pregnant last time (and had a different doctor) I’m pretty sure I had to give a urine sample at each appointment. Is this weird?

@BabyBoyH92016 I had to give one as part of my initial 12 week blood work, but haven’t had to give one since.

lifesabeach85 · June 2018

@BabyBoyH92016 I have had to do one each time for both pregnancies. I think they routinely check for protein and sugar in the urine.

runningyogimama · June 2018

Someone told me that I was waddling already today. So, that’s cool. Since I’m not quite halfway there.

amjschmidt · June 2018

@runningyogimama Ugh. Do people think they're being helpful when they say things like this?!

lachnessmomster · June 2018

@runningyogimama Ha! Nice. My mom inquired for the longest time as to the amount of babies in my belly since she didn't remember me "showing so soon the last time." I kept having to reassure her that, "Yes, there is only one in there. Yes, I'm positive, thanks." Those comments really feel great, don't they?

firsttimespartanmom · June 2018

@runningyogimama people will NEVER learn when it comes to talking to pregnant women!

Update on my bridesmaid dress sitatuion: it can be fixed! She basically has to reconstruct the dress and it’s going to cost a fortune, but I won’t look like I’m wearing a giant sack of a dress. Yay!

wildrainbow · June 2018

Today I went in to my doc for a urinalysis, as it feels like I'm getting a UTI, as I was walking to the building, I got a rather rude look from an older lady. I was confused as to why, because all I did was smile at her. I realized, I forgot to put my rings on, and she prolly thought I was pregnant out of wed lock. Oh, the joys of living in the Deep South.

pelorunningmama · June 2018

@firsttimespartanmom I’m glad you have a solution!
@wildrainbow I dream of a night like that. I’m glad you got a good night’s rest.
@middleschoolmommy that’s awesome! I’m glad they were so understanding!

Our Disney vacation is almost over. I’m probably
going to be depressed the rest of the week. Back to work on Thursday, but luckily the weekend will come soon. Finger’s crosses for a good flight with the kids tomorrow. DD is easy, but DS isn’t interested in movies at all. I’ve got a bag full of target dollar spot stuff to help pass the time. I also plan on letting him eat anything and everything to keep him busy.

jessielynn1 · June 2018

@wannaflickone sounds like a solid plan. Hope the flight goes well!

offtoneverland · June 2018

@wannaflickone Your son doesn't like movies?! What kind of child are you raising?!

just kidding. I can't wait to hear all about your trip! Good luck on the flight.

tessiesmom26 · June 2018

Today has been such a good week so far! Sunday night we stayed at the casino for DH's 30th and I won $200! It was so fun and I was happy to be able to participate for the most part. Then yesterday we had the AS an that went amazingly well. I was also able to sell some of the last things from my wedding and DH expressed last night that he is so excited for baby to get here! Today I have work and then I am judging the high school cheer tryouts! I get to see so many of my cheer babies that I haven't seen in forever. Today DH is going to start prepping the nursery to paint and we should have that done by the end of week too! So many exciting things!!

middleschoolmommy · June 2018

@wannaflickone hope the flight goes well. Our last flight with DS was not so great. We purposefully limited his tech exposure, so when I tried to show him how to do games on a tablet he couldn't figure out how to do it and it was too loud on the plane for him to hear the videos. He was too excited to sleep, so it was a long flight.

booksandcoffee · June 2018

I’m ready for a nap.

booksandcoffee · June 2018

@runningyogimama I was just told that this morning on our walk back from the park. By a complete stranger. I considered kicking her lol

eahayes · June 2018

This may be the most annoying person to people who don't work in a school (as my husband tells me on the daily) but TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!! I can't wait for some time off- SO pumped!!!

offtoneverland · June 2018

I'm going to keep trying to un-sticky the old ultrasound thread for as long as it takes. I thought admin would take care of it quickly, so sorry the other thread was stickied and now we have too many stickied threads.

It drives me crazy having two ultrasound threads at the top of our board, so I really hope they can take care of it.

@eahayes Hooray for the end of the school year! Do you have any plans for your time off?

melicee14 · June 2018

@eahayes I feel ya girl! My last day was Friday and my husband was so sad and jealous. Haha. Enjoy the time off!

hollyeva · June 2018

@eahayes woohoo! Enjoy, you earned this time off!

I tried out a prenatal yoga class last night which was pretty awesome. I am excited to get into it again after being away too long. It's really the little things.

goldie987 · June 2018

@middleschoolmommy i love when companies understand that we're people and can't afford the ridiculous prices that are charged.

@wannaflickone I missed that you were doing Disney! I hope you had a great time and the flight isn't awful. We took DD in January as a pre #2 family vacation and she loved it which we didn't expect because she was only 18 months old.

My random - I got 3 hours of sleep last night between needing to pee, the dog getting up just for shits and giggles and DD deciding 5 am was wake up time. Snack is happening right now and is Cheerios dipped in ketchup (toddler request) and I'm just rolling with it and praying she actually naps today (we're 50/50 for naps at this point).

lurvleybunchococonuts · June 2018

@goldie987 cheerios dipped in ketchup? *gag* please tell me they are the unflavored ones at least and not like frosted or honey roasted? LMFAO... kids man, SMDH

lachnessmomster · June 2018

@hollyeva A prenatal yoga class sounds like so much fun! I've started to do basic exercises again, and my body is SO SORE from doing the bare minimum of squats, pushups, etc. First tri. really took it out of me.

My random thing: Am I the only one irrationally excited about the new BMBs being added to TB? I don't feel like the new kid on the block anymore.

Yay pregnancy progress!

goldie987 · June 2018

@lurvleybunchococonuts yes plain so not as gross as it could have been but definitely not appetizing! She also started dipping her left over blueberries from breakfast in the ketchup too. I don't get it but if it means she eats and isn't a bear because shes hungry when I'm exhausted, I'll take it. Toddlers have weird taste buds though .

MojieJo · June 2018

Freaking out a little, though I know everything is probably fine...

I had my boys out in the garage playing (it's their favorite place to play for some reason) and one of them pulled a metal step-ladder off the wall (about three feet above me), directly onto my lower spine, right above my hips (I was sitting bent over at the time). It hurts, but I'm not worried about me, I'm afraid for baby.

I've read it would take the kind of trauma you would sustain in a car accident to hurt baby and that they're well protected in there, so everything is probably fine, right? It didn't hit my stomach and I'm not cramping or bleeding, just in pain.

I can't go in to see the doctor or go to the ER (which feels like overkill anyway) because I have no one to watch the kids, so I'm hoping this is a non-issue aside from some bruising and soreness.

pelorunningmama · June 2018

@mojiejo I'm so sorry that happened and would probably feel the exact same way you do. If you think going in to get checked would help ease your mind, take the kids with you. Have you called your OB and explained/asked about coming by? Ours was totally fine when I had to bring both of mine with me one day.

@offtoneverland we are still waiting for him to think tv is cool. He will be 2 in August and has absolutely no interest. We survived the flight! Almost missed it, but thank goodness for an amazing ticket agent. He got our luggage tags printed with 30 seconds to spare. DD was awesome on the flight and kept herself entertained. DS was a hot mess, but was quiet. We just had to work overtime entertaining him. I thought I packed enough snacks to keep him busy, but he had already eaten all his favorite things by take off. Ha! Disneyland was so great. I loved watching DD's face as she saw her favorite people. She was so star struck.

wildrainbow · June 2018

@MojieJo When I was pg with ds and about 20 weeks along, I got into a car accident. My car was totaled and he was just fine. I was bruised from my seat belt, but kiddo was fine. I would bet you are fine. You can always call your Dr and see what they say. They really are very well protected, especially from the back. Just try to take it easy and maybe ice or heat the sore area to keep the muscles from tightening.

MojieJo · June 2018

@wannaflickone @wildrainbow Thanks for the input and reassurance, ladies.

I haven't called my OB yet since there's nothing going on other than some back pain and bruising right now, but I definitely will if things change or get worse!

I'm sure I'm just worrying for nothing. I just needed to hear from other mamas that it takes more than this to hurt the little guy so I can get my anxiety under control.

vrj0522 · June 2018

@MojieJo - given how early in pregnancy we are right now, I highly doubt baby could've been hurt. If it was a blow to the tummy, I would definitely say go in but in the back the concern is minimal. However, if you're worried, you might want to call your ob and discuss it for peace of mind or additional action.

MojieJo · June 2018

@vrj0522 Thank you! I figured that with it being from the back (and right on my spine, which surely added more protection) that it probably wouldn't have hurt the baby. My anxiety just gets out of control and I needed to hear it from someone else.

lifesabeach85 · June 2018

@MojieJo ouch! I bet that hurt! I am sure baby is all safe and sound but I agree with pp that I’m sure your doc would be happy to check you out kids in tow if you’re feeling anxious.
