Thank you all! We luckily have lots of family near and I do have an 11yo but the toddler is so heavy he struggles with him. I know my mom will help a lot but I always feel so bad asking for it all the time when she already watches the dude for free. I’m not worried about work at all because thankfully I have a great team who is ready to step up. Just gotta get through 6.5 more weeks of this stupid opposite schedule and then I won’t feel terrible bugging all our family.
@ashkee05 I’m sorry that’s so rough. I have a nearly 30lb toddler and I don’t know how I could get away without lifting him. I’m glad you have family close by who can help. Don’t feel badly, im sure they are willing to do anything to help.
@askkee05 : this sucks, especially since it's hard for a toddler to understand why his mommy can't take him in her arms like she used to. I hope time flies by quickly!
As for me, my appointment went very well, no major malformations or problems with his little heart. For the minor ones we'lle have to wait for him get bigger. And accept to turn around when asked.
I am starting to think I'm getting this motherhood thing wrong: every scan I'm like: oh after this one I'll stop worrying because I'll have all the answers and I will be sure he's really really okay. But there is always something else to worry about, of course. I suspect it's gonna be like this until I die, lol. Oh well.
@EvilRaccoon Worrying is totally normal. You're not getting anything wrong! I'm the same way and learned with my last pregnancy that there's always something new that you're going to worry about, right up to delivery and beyond.
Honestly, be prepared to worry about your little one for the rest of his life. It's part of being a mother. It gets easier once they're older, but it never goes away.
@MojieJo : that's exactly what I meant I meant that I wasn't getting this motherhood thing as a joke, meaning, well, I think I had an idealized vision of this!
@evilraccoon I had this conversation with some friends last night at dinner. One of them is a teacher who teaches with a lady that has teenagers. She mentioned that the worries never stop, they just change. Right now, I'm worried about things like my kids falling in the pool, running into a parking lot, etc. In 10 years, all that will have stopped but there will be a whole new bag of issues for me to worry about. It really doesn't ever end.
Anatomy scan went well today! They did tell me that since baby girl is still small, they will wait another 4 weeks before they look at her heart. Apparently they will have a specialist also look at her heart because I'm diabetic pre-pregnancy, and that's their standard procedure. She was measuring right on track every where except her head. Head circumference was in the 68th percentile, while everything else was in the 50s! Currently weighs 9 oz.
When is your appointment? It was today! How far along will you be? 17 weeks and 4 days...at least I'm pretty sure What is being discussed? Bloodwork came back good. Normal routine check up Questions/Comments/Concerns: This baby is definitely keeping me on my toes compared to my other two pregnancies. This time around it decided to hide and she couldn't find the heartbeat. Then she broke out the ultrasound and found baby doing just fine. At least I got to see him/her another time! Anxiously waiting to find out gender and that everything else looks good on the 29th for our anatomy scan!
