@ktmaesim it's gonna be great! and you have to update us!
my random is from yesterday... but oh well... had two strangers ask me when i was due. so i guess i'm that big now. oddly the one commented that i was small for being half way, and the other asked if it was my second. i know we've talked about this - but really ppl, just say "you look great!"
@ktmaesim NO! the one was def younger than me, lululemon employee - she was the one who said i was small, and i think i just said thanks. i was honestly kind of dumbfounded. the other person was maybe a decade older than my parents if i guessed, and i was just like um noooope, my first! and then she went on and on about how i'll be my own little personal heater come december. so weird.
@anniemarie887 Clearly she has never had a December baby bc the struggle to regulate body temperature is a freaking nightmare come mid November!
My random- I’m a fan of having a tan during the summer, I think I’ve mentioned this. I’ve got a nice one but my husband told me it looked like I stood against a wall and got spray tanned. I’m not orange and I can’t help it that I can’t lay on my belly. Ass.
@k_mama91 ooof i am looking forward to it cooling off at least. and i hear you on the tan thing... i've been lucky to have a couple of pool days and i figure at least when i'm in the water the sun is getting all of me, right?
i did yoga yesterday and set my intention to be focused and productive this week... so far today i haven't done either. ugh. i need a day in my office with no one bothering me!
DS1 is sick (respiratory infection and ear infection). DH threw out his back so can’t hardly move. I’m tapped out. I took DS1 to my parents house this afternoon so I could go to work.
@k_mama91 haha, I love DH’s tan comments, made me snicker 😆. He’d better be careful how he talks to a pregnant lady! His comment should have been, “Wow, you’re a pregnant sun goddess!” Men...
@k_mama91 I've been trying so hard to get a base tan and also wondering how the EFF I'm supposed to even my back tan out with my front, im thinking of digging a hole in the sand next week at the beach so I can just lay on my belly one last time before I get HUGE Lol.
@ktmaesim I’ll sit up so my back has some color but my legs- Oreos. I have one of the mesh pool floats that keeps you in the water but it hurt my neck? I gave up and I dare anyone else to point it out lol
Has anyone else's prego dreams gotten more and more insane? I had a pleasant but completely unrealistic dream last night were I felt extremely comfortable in a white satiny thong and super lacey bra. I wasn't pre-preggers sized either 😂 I've never been a thong wearer.
Yes! My dreams are nuts. Most recent one was about visiting China but having our car with us, and some artist there wanted to paint over our license plate so our car could be an ad for his art back in the states, but then the US wouldn't let us re-enter with our modified plate. Whatttttttt.......
MY dreams are literally so disturbing I dont even want to tell my husband....like they're WEIRD. Lets just say R Kelly was in one of mine.....like WTF!!!!
i am not the kind of person to remember dreams ever... so having vivid ones is kind of weird for me. i have a friend who was hit and killed on his motorcycle back in 2013, it was just his birthday at the end of july. i had a dream we were in a big auditorium like space and he was over in a corner, i got through all of the people and was standing in front of him and said "omg you're here" and he replied "i'm always here". and then i woke up and was just stunned. couldn't go back to sleep. it wasn't scary, or sad, just more chilling i guess. i've been meaning to scan in actual photos from photo albums for his mom since i organized some containers of mementos and i guess this is some cosmic way of making sure i don't forget to to that?!
@anniemarie887 I’ve had lots of trippy dreams of people I haven’t seen in a long time, too. In my dream, an ex-boyfriend/old friend was there, telling me that somebody knew about some of our old times hanging out together, like Big Brother, “the government is spying on us” kind of crap. It was weird- it wasn’t sexual or romantic at all, just like him warning me that “they” knew stuff about us, he gave some example of some time we went out to a park together. It’s been on my mind a lot since then, like how I don’t want my phone watching me all the time, or Amazon or our smart TV listening to me all the time. Trippy and creepy...
@anniemarie887 I occasionally have dreams about my grandparents (dads parents) that have passed away. agreed, they aren't sad or creepy, but very realistic in conversation. They have often come at stressful times and been in a weird way a comfort.
My moms dad died the morning I went to have my embryo transfer and I got the call on my way to the appointment. I didn't want to answer it because I knew what the news was and I didn't want that going in. Well, my sister wouldn't stop calling so finally I picked up. I didn't have a good relationship with my moms dad, to put it nicely he was a jerk and almost refused to come to my wedding because I was getting married in the Catholic church and he doesn't "believe in the Catholic church" because he is holier than thou. Anyway, after his death I of course start freaking out that the baby is going to be him reincarnated and had to keep reminding myself that the embryo was created prior to his death, and I wasn't going to his funeral (which was almost held on EASTER!) so I should be good (I did too much research on reincarnation after this and then I had a really realistic dream that he told me I need not worry because he was in hell!!!! The location of the dream was very similar to those I've had with my other grandparents, but they have never told me they were in hell so this one freaked me out a bit more.
@anniemarie887 I am sorry about your dream. My one dream last night had my late brother in it. I do dream about him on occasion, and while the dreams aren’t exactly bad or weird, they always leave me feeling off for a bit.
I saw some of the other month groups were doing a larger weekly GTKY - I know we have out weekly check ins but I think we are also seeing people fade away and some groups are small? Would be fun to do something as a bigger group together?
This is more of a rant, but why would somebody think it’s okay to ask you how much weight you’ve gained during your pregnancy? I had my uncle ask me yesterday, and granted this guy’s seen a lot of pregnant women in his life (big family, two daughters of his own who’ve both been pregnant), but still! It was weird and I wasn’t sure why he’d want to know.
@cpk3535 nope nope nope. i haven't even asked my closest girlfriends who are mamas what they gained, at the end of they day what does it matter to me? we all have different bodies.
@cpk3535 my mom and aunt both asked me buuuutttt I also just told them yesterday that I am pregnant so since we live far away from each other I think they were just asking in general curiously and trying to picture how big I've gotten compared to my son. I didn't get upset when they asked but I'm sure anybody else I would've had some not no nice things to say.
Doctor just called me (it was actually him) and I immediately panicked!!! bc we just had our anatomy scan yday. He was only calling to say we need to schedule a second one to get better pics of the heart. Secretly so pumped to get a second US! He said everything looked go so far! Now I’m like “just ‘GOOD?’” Lol!
I had my first pelvic floor physiotherapy appointment and it was a lot more.... holistic than I was expecting. It’s probably due to the location I chose, it’s a place called The Womb which also does prenatal yoga classes and stuff like that. But I wasn’t expecting to leave the appointment without having had an internal exam, or without being given any sort of exercises, but instead being assigned homework of breathing techniques/stress relief/the proper way to poop.
The next appointment in a week will focus on the internal exam and learning Kegels and other exercises, and since this isn’t covered at all I kinda wish we could have just skipped to that one right away.
@CapricaAndrea interesting. I was considering seeing a PFPT but haven't set up an appointment yet. I haven't had any dysfunction but wanted to be proactive for postpartum life.
Minor rant...my hair is growing super quickly and thicker than before, which would be fine, but I'm getting so many gray hairs! I get my hair colored every 8 weeks and I still cant keep up. An unwelcome reminder of my geriatric pregnancy. 👵🏻
@blueskychicago12 I’m sure you still look beautiful, but I understand your frustration!
On another random note, has anybody noticed when looking at their bellies that you see more little hairs on your belly than usual? I was watching my belly for movements from the outside (which I was excited to see!) and it looked like tiny little hairs standing on end on my belly. Soft hairs, not scratchy, but just oddly noticeable. Maybe just because my belly is protruding more than normal?
@cpk3535 Yes! I noticed the same thing. My belly looks like a fuzzy peach.
Speaking of produce, today W is the size of a grapefruit. I have a serious question, where the eff are these people shopping?! A grapefruit doesn’t seem very big, especially compared to the other measurements they give. Last week was spaghetti squash which I think are bigger than grapefruit but maybe Kroger is just ripping us off over here.
@k_mama91 I was wondering the same thing! The app is off its rocker. Yesterday, baby was as big as a Starbucks trenta cup, which is HUGE. But today he's only as tall as a toothbrush?
