Re: Week 3 Check In 12/10
Rants/Raves?: Ugh... it's just been one thing after another today. DD1 woke up at 2:30, then didn't want to wake up at 6 for daycare, threw a bunch of tantrums about things I don't have time or enough shits to give about, forgot her backpack, forgot my water bottle...
How are you feeling?: Tired. And ironically it's never been my pregnancy's fault. On the rare occasion DD1 (who has always been a good sleeper) sleeps through the night I usually don't have to get up to pee, so every time she wakes me up in the morning it's an extra pain in the ass. And I'd love to just send DH to help, but by then I'm already awake and while I have to sit at a desk the next day, he has to be capable of flying an airplane so I usually just take the hit on sleep.
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas/the holidays? Sleep. And MH already got me the purse I was wanting.
Rants/Raves?: December is flying by! We have had multiple birthday parties on top of the holiday parties. November was the same way. I’m half expecting January and February to drag after these last two months.
How are you feeling?: Good for the most part. I was completely exhausted most of last week but my energy has come back this week.
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas/the holidays? I have no idea! Everything I want is more for big house projects and my parents do not do gift cards or money for Christmas so I need to come up with something else. I also usually ask for clothes but that is also out this year.
@meggyme sleep is so hard! Lack of sleep really affects everything. Hopefully DD gives you a break before the baby arrives.
Rants/Raves?: rant-currently in the first hour of my 3 hour glucose test. I’m just tired. And not really looking forward to being in this bloodwork office for the next 3 hours. 🤷🏾♀️ It is what it is I guess. I have lots of magazines but I really just want to go to sleep. I wish they could put me in a room in the back so I could nap LOL
How are you feeling?: sleepy, a little anxious. I want to have my sons room moved by Christmas bc where he is now is gonna be the baby’s room and I feel like my SO isnt taking this as seriously as me. Im SURE im nesting and it’s making me a little nuts. Physically I’m good, although this morning I sneezed and peed on myself a little so hopefully that doesn’t become a new thing O_o
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas/the holidays? I honestly just wanna get through it! I have a lot on my to do list (kid room move) and it makes me feel a little high strung. I’m a take charge person who does things without relying on others bc no one moves as fast as I do, so I’m frustrated having to depend on others to move furniture etc. I’m just looking forward to January bc I’m sure everything is gonna speed up then, and I’m ready for it.
the only thing I really want for Christmas is for my son to enjoy it and I know he will so that’s something to look forward to.
Rants/Raves?: I guess my rant is that there is a TON going on at work, at a time when I just want to focus on nesting. And this whole Berlin thing is obviously a bit stressful. I'm interviewing tomorrow so hoping I'll have a clearer picture of whether the move would be worth it. Their funding has been a bit unstable in the past, so I wouldn't want to move my whole family out there and then in 6 months have to move back because the funding was frozen.
How are you feeling?: Tired. I overdid it this weekend and I'm paying for it today. We had DS's birthday party on Saturday, so cleaning and prep took a lot out of me. Yesterday we went Christmas shopping and put up our tree. Three hours in the mall...not my jam these days. Then I had a work call from 8:00-10:00 PM with team members who are in Vietnam. The 12 hours time difference is brutal, so we kind of switch off call scheduling. I was pretty much delirious by the time I got off the call, and I had such a hard time getting out of bed today.
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas/the holidays? More naps.
Rants/Raves?: Rant! Add me to the nesting group, and MH is totally not feeling the urgency lol. I'm hoping that after the holidays, our schedules clear up a bit.
How are you feeling?: I'm feeling a lot better since upping my calories, and baby seems to be moving around more now. I feel guilty I was unintentionally depriving him.
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas/the holidays? I just want them to be over so I can prep for baby... also a new mattress would be nice. Our ten-year-old queen mattress is not going to cut it anymore.
Questions?: none that I can think of
Rants/Raves?: Rave: MH husband finished building our hearth and we are getting estimates on installing the wood stove tomorrow. We put together our new bed and our new mattress is coming in a few weeks. It's amazing how having a baby makes you get house projects done so much quicker! Rant: It looks like I overpaid Natera almost $800 for my NIPT and they are trying to say 1) I never paid and 2) I actually don't qualify for the discount the gave me, which didn't post until after I paid the initial payment. I'm so annoyed with them! I sent them my proof of payment so hopefully I can get it figured out and get my money back!
How are you feeling?: I'm feeling really good. I'm finally started feeling this little guy kick! I have an anterior placenta so before I'd just felt some tickles, but now it's real kicks and MH was able to feel him kick last night!
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas/the holidays? I'm asking for some reusable kitchen items and a yoga mat because I accidentally left my mat out one day and my cat thought it was the perfect scratching mat!
Rants/Raves?: Rant - been MIA recently because I’m struggling balancing all of the crazy things life has thrown my way. FTM so extremely excited to welcome our LO. But recently learned that I’m going to be in trial while I’m 35-37 weeks preggers and undergoing a massive home remodel. To top it off, my mom was rediagnosed with a very serious medical condition and will be going thru intense treatment starting 12/31. So suffice to say, I’m stressing, overwhelmed, and wishing that all goes well with my Mama. Rave - no GD, no anemia, and baby is well so good news all around on the pregnancy front.
How are you feeling?: emotionally all over the place. Working out is pretty much the only thing that keeps me sane but my work sched is so nuts that I’m not able to go as often as I want/need to.
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas/the holidays? QT with my fam and sleep - as much sleep as possible.
Questions?: is anyone taking classes? Any recommendations?
Rants/Raves?:
Rave: my interim work position is ending in a week and I CANNOT WAIT.
Rave: my placenta previa hasn't resolved yet and I'm kind of worried about it and the c-section bc it would move my delivery up so much.
How are you feeling?: pretty good but have been working a lot and on my feet, so feeling particularly tired in the afternoons.
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas/the holidays? A vacation. We aren't traveling this year and I get almost two weeks off. I'm really looking forward to doing nothing much except relaxing with my pups.
