How are you feeling? Nausea, just feeling big haha.
Raves/Rants: We thought we found "the house" over the weekend but it ended up needing extensive electrical work so we are looking at more houses tomorrow.
Questions: Not right now!
GTKY: What are you shopping for this Black Friday/Cyber Monday, if anything? A house? LOL
How are you feeling? Physically cute and strong, but heartburn is going to kill me
Raves/Rants: Got the TDAP, flu shot, and a blood draw for GTT yesterday- all the stabbing weeeeeee!
Questions: Anyone else’s provider say they don’t tell you GTT results unless there’s a problem? I’d rather have someone call regardless, but they acted like people who choose this model of care never fail the GTT. It kind of felt dismissive of my worry 😒.
GTKY: What are you shopping for this Black Friday/Cyber Monday, if anything? We intentionally buy nothing, although I usually try to go out and support a local shop for Small Business Saturday.
@craftywitch Oh man, you did get all the stabbing haha. And my provider will call regardless, unless it's an US and they want to discuss it. But I have the portal so I can see my results beforehand lol. But I would get annoyed for sure!
@craftywitch, I got a message in my online portal when I passed in both pregnancies. I assume if I didn't pass they would have called to discuss. My ultrasounds that have been fine also send a message, any ultrasounds with issues I got a phone call.
How are you feeling? More and more Uncomfortable. Heartburn has kicked in and I’ve been getting awful pulling pain in my crotch. It’s not all the time but holy shit does it hurt to move when it happens.
Raves/Rants: kids are sick again so they are extra clingy and whiny. And my stomach is in the way of their cuddling
Questions:
GTKY: What are you shopping for this Black Friday/Cyber Monday, if anything? Thinking of buying a kids fire tablet for ds1.
How are you feeling? Sciatica is so painful. Getting comfy for sleeping is getting harder.
Raves/Rants: I only had to work 4 hours today! But that’s cuz I have to work 8 hours on thanksgiving. Taking advantage of the the alone time and watching Seth Meyers’ Netflix special and I am dying 😂
GTKY: I don’t go out for Black Friday. I refuse. Might do some online stuff for baby things and nursing bras.
How are you feeling? Out of town for the week and seriously missing all my specialty pillows. Generally a bit more tired and achey.
Raves/Rants: First baby shower was this weekend. Loved getting to talk baby stuff with family and get all excited about the little boy.
GTKY: What are you shopping for this Black Friday/Cyber Monday, if anything? In the market for electronics we don’t currently own or desperately need to replace. Laptop for hubs who is now a FT student, TV because we don’t own one and I’m finally okay with getting one
@brookert615 good luck house hunting! It was a stressful time for me so I hope you’re able to have some calm as you search.
And to the other ladies - I’m SO with you on sleep/heartburn (but this dumb app deleted everything when I tried to tag you)
@um_thor Oh no, I can only imagine how tough it is without all the pillows! How exciting about your shower, glad it went well! And thanks I'm going to need all the luck house hunting, I feel like we end up liking a house and it's off the market in an instant! lol
Upcoming appointments: 12/16 for 32 week appointment
How are you feeling? Pretty good, if I wake up in the middle of the night or toss and turn a lot, I get a like crampy pain in my sides. I don't know if they are maybe contractions, Braxton Hicks, or just the general soreness of growing a human.
Raves/Rants: I had my 3 hour GD test yesterday. Waiting to hear back on results. FX it all comes back good!
Questions: None this week!
GTKY: What are you shopping for this Black Friday/Cyber Monday, if anything? I don't know particularly. I looked at the Kohl's ad that came and nothing jumped out at me.
I asked if results would be posted online, but labs are separate from their "portal" so they said no. I'm just going to have to call and ask and be a pain. It's not cool with me to just assume all is well unless called. More clarity required!
Baby is the size of a(n): giant ass piece of boulder on my bladder. At least that’s what size it feels like
Upcoming appointments: 2 weeks for another u/s
How are you feeling? I’m starting to pee at night which is annoying me. I was enjoying still sleeping well but that’s gone. And now that I am sick (AGAIN) it’s even harder.
Raves/Rants:
Questions:
GTKY: What are you shopping for this Black Friday/Cyber Monday, if anything? Nothing. I never do Black Friday
Baby is the size of a(n): ? I've already forgotten what today's was.
Upcoming appointments: 12/3 for just a routine checkup. My OB office wants me to do appts every 2 weeks so I have a chance to meet all the doctors before I go into labor.
How are you feeling? Last night was hard. It felt like the baby was imitating that DaVinci drawing of the guy spreadeagled? She was managing to push against all sides of the uterus constantly. Every position was uncomfortable and I ended up just pacing around waiting for her to settle down.
Raves/Rants: woohoo! Grad school is done, the house is clean, and family will be here in about half an hr. Let the holidays commence!
Questions:
GTKY: What are you shopping for this Black Friday/Cyber Monday, if anything? If anything, maybe some baby stuff. Never been a big Black Friday person. Oh, and nursing bras like @daffodil_shoe.
