</li><li>How are you feeling this week? Okay, idk if I may have to back off the bump a bit. There's so much to do around the house, and it seems like it causes tension with DH when certain things don't get done. At least if I weren't bumping, he can't blame it on that 🤷</li><li>Rants/Raves? Questions? Tired, aches and pains, nothing too bad or out of the ordinary though :)</li><li>Any upcoming appointments? My VBAC teleconsult yesterday turned into a real fiasco, so hopefully I'm able to connect with the doctor today. 😬</li><li>GTKY: What food did you dislike/hate as a kid (and why) that you now like as an adult? Maybe green olives? The briney ones were just too strong for me then, but now I love them!</li></ul>@hanshotfirst77 glad baby girl flipped for you! Would be Amazing not to need the sectional afterall. :)
@wildrainbow hope they get your BP figured out (((hugs)))
@cashewchicken omg bacon HAS GOT to be super crispy. DH likes it not too cooked and it's just the grossest thing to me :p like you said, the blubberiness! :D yuck
@angelina1919 glad baby is looking on track! Hope the hb improves for you. Uggh
@stella_700 Fx for your next appt!
@angelina1919 The heartburn is the worst. Ugh hope it improves!
@BusinessWife I hope you get through to the doc today. Do you think there's any reason why they won't let you try for a VBAC?

- How far along/EDD? 23w0d / Sept 8th
- How are you feeling this week? Normal aches and pains but good. Started taking Pepcid Complete for heartburn and that helps immediately! I also wore the compression socks last night while I was sleeping. Surprisingly they didn't bother me and my feet aren't swollen this morning. Yay!
- Rants/Raves? Questions? Rave - Baby girl is moving all the time now. She had a little dance party this morning while my SO and I we snuggling. Lol. I love the feeling. It's just an amazing remind of this entire journey AND it provide daily reassurance that it's all OK.
- Any upcoming appointments? 6/2 OB and glucose test
- GTKY: What food did you dislike/hate as a kid (and why) that you now like as an adult? I have so many. Hahaha. But I'll go with tomatoes and Liver. I truly hated both. I think it had to do with the texture. But I've recently started enjoying tomatoes (probably within last 10 years) and even though I don't have liver too ofter (1-2 times a year) I like it as well.
@hanshotfirst77 - Yay that baby girl flipped!!! I know you were so happy when you saw that!@mtpbadger - Your daughter lifting your shirt has to be the sweetest thing! I forget. How old is she?
@wildrainbow - I finally cave in and bought a blood pressure machine. It came yesterday. My family kept bugging me about it, because I generally have low blood pressure.
@cashewchicken - I was having the same feeling! My pregnancy pillow stopped working. And my hips were seriously hurting when sleeping and when I would get up for the morning. Last night I flipped the pillow, so the U is now at the bottom. Completely different feeling! Not sure if I liked it, because I got no freaking sleep! I was freezing and I usually run hot with that pillow. I guess because I couldn't snuggle it the way I usually do. Anyway, I had way less joint pain with it upside down and my feet were less swollen this morning. I think that was a combination of the compression socks and the fact that I could elevate my feet on top of the U part of the pillow. Not sure which way you normally have your pillow, but maybe give it a try. I'm also considering buying a full length pillow that goes past my calves.
@angelina1919 - Sorry about the heartburn! Pepcid Complete ended up working for me so I didn't have to the Nexium route. Have you tried Pepcid?
@BusinessWife - I also have soooooooo much to do. I just keep putting it off.
@31magnolia Yay for no swollen feet! Mine seem to be fine in the morning but by the end of the day they are horrible. I really need to rest more but it's kinda hard when I'm still working and have a 6 yr old to chase after lol. That is so cute she had a dance party for you guys this morning

On the pillow, for those willing to try something different or if you have not got one yet, this is working for me. The reason is it has zippers, so you can mix and match the different pieces/pillows: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VCQCV4V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It has a piece of fabric with velcro that keeps 2 pillows close without moving, I use it to keep the one between my legs and the one supporting my back together.
@BusinessWife hooray for getting VBAC clearance. I hope it goes well for you. I know some docs push for birth by 40weeks, thankfully my MWs were always willing to give me to 41weeks, and I needed every day of it.
