How are you feeling? Feeling okay, but having a really hard time getting comfortable at night and sleeping well.
Raves/Rants: My husband helped me get the majority of the nursery done this weekend! We went shopping for decor and he was just the best, helping me pick things and not rushing me or complaining. He helped hang curtains and paint picture frames, and hang things on the wall. The baby’s room is looking so good and now all we need are a couple of floating shelves and his crib 😊
Questions: I’ve been having painful cramps in the bottom right side of my pelvic area. Are those round ligament pain? It’s almost constant and feels like a period cramp.
GTKY: What is something you are REALLY looking forward to once baby is born? Loving on him and seeing my husband with him. He’s gonna be the best daddy 😍
How are you feeling? Nauseous again and having terrible allergies. Not sure all of this is due to pregnancy. Also, my feet have been hurting lately due to the extra weight I think.
Raves/Rants: I’ve been MIA the past couple of days with two sick kiddos. Stomach bugs are the worst. Rave is that I’m excited tomorrow is October 1! I have all my pumpkins out and love this time of year!
Questions: Has everyone started on the nursery? I thought I’d start at the end of October.
GTKY: What is something you are REALLY looking forward to once baby is born? Newborn snuggles are the best. It never gets old.
@therealbitts I painted my nursery last week after finding out the gender. I didn’t want to wait too long and then be too big/tired to get it painted. Still working on furniture in stuff but it’s nice to have the painting done!
@taylor2020 it sounds like round ligament pain to me, but if you’re worried, it doesn’t hurt to give your doctor a call!
How are you feeling? Day to day, I feel fine, but I think my running days are coming to an end 😭 Too much pressure on my pelvic floor.
Raves/Rants: Rave: got my nursery cleaned out and painted last week! I was also able to put all of the baby gifts we’ve gotten so far in there and to hang up some of her clothes! It’s so sweet to be in there and see all the little dresses hanging up in the closet 💗 Rant: I may have to give up running. I know how much it had helped me to stay active over the last few months (especially in the weight gain department), but running is getting really difficult. I’ll still try the elliptical and walking but running is my favorite form of exercise and something I’ve worked hard to make apart of my exercise exercise routine, that I hate to give it up. I ran a 4 mile race last night and my round ligament pain is feeling pretty terrible today 😭 it’s the beginning of the end.
Questions:
GTKY: What is something you are REALLY looking forward to once baby is born? All the baby snuggles and dressing her in all the little outfits and headbands I’ve gotten so far! I also can’t wait to watch my husband be a father 💗
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: We are team blue. I still can't believe it!
Baby is the size of a(n): His palm is the size of dime.
Upcoming Appointments: I have another ultrasound 10/2 because he was not cooperating to get the images of his heart they need to see. And then I have my OB appt on 10/8.
How are you feeling? Feeling really good! Starting to notice I can't move as suddenly as I used to and get horrible sharp pains. But other than that, I am good. I wish I was feeling him more consistently. Some days I feel him so much, and other days I have to pull out my doppler to make sure things are still ok. I am ready for the days that I know for sure he is moving around in there everyday.
Raves/Rants: Rave: Finally got a good chunk of the spare room, soon to be nursery, cleaned out. Thanks to my DD. lol I got 6 bags of old clothes out of there, and a few other larger items. My husband wasn't feeling good this weekend and my daughter knew how much I wanted it done, so while I was in the shower she took 5 of the boxes out of there and stuck them in the hallway to surprise me. It melted my heart seeing how much she wanted to help me and while I now have crap in my hallway to move tonight, it was the sweetest thing ever for her to do all the work to help me.
Questions:
GTKY: What is something you are REALLY looking forward to once baby is born? The snuggles. Can. Not. Wait. And the smell of newborn baby. Gahh my favorite. I also can not wait for the moment that my DD meets her brother.
@therealbitts We are almost done with getting it cleaned out and my goal is to have it painted and the furniture put back together by the end of October.
Baby is the size of a(n): Kraft Dinner box or a coconut
Upcoming Appointments: I think 2 weeks from now.
How are you feeling? Holy hormonal pregnancy moodiness. I thought I had missed that boat then, in the last couple weeks I became a crying mess over things that aren't a big deal and have lost it on my husband over minor things. He is handling it like a champ, but I did tell him to tell me if I am being a jerk because I am trying but don't have a lot of control over my emotions lately apparently. The very next day he told me I was getting unnecessarily frustrated about something. When I explained my frustration, it turned out I had missed the second half of his instructions. 😏🙄 Otherwise, though, I am doing pretty well.
Raves/Rants: Raves - the baby is moving so much now and MH is feeling him or her more consistently. Basically the best thing ever! And some friends of ours have yet more baby stuff to pass along, so yay for saving money! Rants - other than the moodiness, I am very over being tired all the time and still having my capstone to finish.
