@hkom@morgantu Thanks--I'm not worried, just curious what's the point of even taking this unreliable measurement in the first place?! just makes me unnecessarily anxious. I'm sure everything's fine, but she said if it's still like this at next appt, they will do a quick ultrasound to check/measure more closely.
@ab_canada Nothing even a little related to Slavic Studies I also have a Masters degree in fine art so I teach some fine art classes, work as a studio manager, and also teach children's yoga. But I like to think my Russian studies subtly influences my day-to-day life in various ways; but, in reality, it's just something I'm interested in and led me to meet my husband, which I'm fine with!
Any appointment updates? Had my last appointment on 08/24 where I was updated on my quad test which came back negative! Midwife also confirmed that benadryl is safe for me to take for congestion and insomnia. Also when she was checking the baby's heartbeat I laughed at something she said and my little one's heart started beating faster at the sound of my laugh. It was amazing My next appointment is on 09/21 where I'll take the glucose test!
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary? A question I forgot to ask my midwife at my last appointment, but will definitely remember to ask at my next.. is red tinted colostrum normal? Have any of you mama's or mama's to be experienced this? It's not thick like pure blood nor a whole lot, just a few drops of red mixing with the yellow/clear/sometimes white colostrum. My breasts don't hurt outside of the occasional tenderness I feel in them.
GTKY: What is the most impressive thing you know how to do (besides grow a human)? I'm not sure lol. I don't really think I can do anything impressive, but off the top of my head I'm a decent writer, a good cook/baker and can do hair pretty well.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary? Went to my friends baby shower over the weekend kept being asked how far along I am as I'm nowhere near as big as she is even tho I'm further along DH keeps saying I don't look pregnant now after seeing her and freaks me out about it! Even though I can feel LO moving and know she's ok
GTKY: What is the most impressive thing you know how to do (besides grow a human)? God no idea it would probably be a different answer depending on who you ask aswell I honestly think just my ability to always see the good in everything been through enough bad stuff in my life that I prefer to see the good
@liathelight That’s so cool that she responded to your laugh!! Mine’s HR is like a metronome so far...always the same 140bpm
@donnawicks Is your friend STM? I’ve just started getting comments this past week or so that people are surprised I’m carrying small. They expect bigger at 6 months - but I feel huge...
How far along are you?
26 weeks 3 days
Any appointment updates?
Not until next week. I hope I can find out GD results before then.

My lower back and abdominals are finally feeling better this week! I think it’s my new physiotherapist that specializes in pelvic health. It’s expensive and my insurance coverage will run out quickly, but it’s worth it!
GTKY: What is the most impressive thing you know how to do (besides grow a human)?
I guess it would have to be any of the tech/animal skills I use at work... suturing a wound in a tiny bird, putting an IV catheter in a moving deer. Doesn’t help in general everyday life, but it’s cool!
Desiree113 no shes not we are both FTM she is smaller than me tho and her husband is quite a big man im wondering if she just has a bigger baby if thats a thing?? i got asked yesterday if i had already had my baby as i looked to small to be this far along haha
It may be a thing! My baby keeps measuring tall and they always look at my husband when they say that. He’s 6’3”, I’m 5’4” I keep obsessively asking him the birth weights of him and all his siblings...
@Desiree113 yea she is tiny and he is well over 6 foot and quite big aswell about 130kg so I'm assuming it's a mini him haha I have a growth scan coming up I'm so gonna ask how my LO is growing she is more on the small side but it looked like she had long legs I'm 5'10 and hubby is 6 foot exactly so not exactly short both of is were the smallest of our siblings aswell here's hoping for a smallish baby (the though of giving birth is terrifying haha)
