I love DH and super suuuuuuuuper appreciate how much he does, especially right now when I'm couch bound for the most part but every time I say something about being tired and he says "me too" I am filled with the desire to thump him in the face.
Just got my first ever pregnancy pillow in the mail a few days ago. But it smells chemically so I’m letting it air out. I tried it one night but it was too stinky. Feels nice on my back though. I usually just start surrounding myself with pillows when I get in the 3rd tri.
i'm honestly not sure i will be able to fit mine in bed with us. DH and i both sprawl out on our queen size bed. my SIL gave me one last year during previous pregnancy and i never opened it yet. luckily im still finding comfortable ways to sleep, but it does take me longer so i know ill need to figure out something!
Finally catching up after being without power pretty much all day! We got hit with TS Zeta this morning. Thankfully only minor property damage but 8 hours without power wasn’t ideal. It honestly wouldn’t have been so bad but it was 80 and super humid today so it just felt gross inside the house. I pretty much live with the ceiling fan on. Plus I couldn’t work so I had to burn a day of vacation time and I don’t have much left for the rest of this year with all I’ve had to take off for nausea!
@gusgus14 remind me where you live? The company I work for does a lot of weather dependent stuff, so we have the weather channel on at work all the time and I saw today that it ended up being worse than predicted 😔
Trying to jump in more! The Bump works way better for me if I'm using my computer instead of my phone but I never really use my computer unless for work or on the weekends. I had my first appointment with a midwife this week and got to hear the heartbeat! I was really nervous about my ultrasound last week because my NT scan did not go well with my last baby- it indicated genetic abnormalities and I had to go through an Amnio and all sorts of appointments. She ended up being completely healthy but it was a stressful time so I was so scared to go through it again. But everything looked good for this one! Has anyone here gone through a false/positive alarm like that and then have your subsequent pregnancy closely followed? They are recommending I meet with an MFM doctor for my next scan based on my history with that pregnancy and I'm just not sure why since it ended up being a false/positive.
@texas_t Greenville, SC. We found out this morning that the other side of our street and a bunch of places on the main road outside our subdivision still don't have power! Lots and lots of trees down in the area.
@julianne0 I prefer the bump on my computer as well but I only use a computer at work. I'll use the app in the evenings/on weekends but it's not nearly as user friendly.
@mimser I'm getting a final brow shaping tomorrow (so I look kempt in bday photos) - that will prob be the last time I do it until a vaccine comes out! Trying to squeeze in a hair trim in the next couple weeks, too. More because I think COVID restrictions are prob coming back. Very grateful I did laser hair removal on other areas last year lol.
@mimser I got brazilians through my entire pregnancy last time because I was trying to avoid ingrowns & I will tell you, the later I got in pregnancy the waxing got so painful. It was worse than labor 😂 I’m not doing it this time. If you continue getting them later on, I hope you have a different experience!
@ckmb_1250 were you regularly getting the waxes before you were pregnant too? i've definitely noticed a bit more sensitivity thus far, but curious how it will be as it goes on. im sensitive to begin with!
@texasgal87 lol my sister had a dream that I was pregnant and it was a girl the day after we found out! And she was right...I was pregnant and it's a girl! Can't wait to hear what your sister says when you tell her!
@spartan4life That's one of the main reasons I'm waiting to tell one group of friends. I had a friend tell me at the beginning of the year, that she had a dream that I had a daughter. So if she hears I'm pregnant she will assume it's a girl. So I wouldn't mind waiting until I know the gender. Told my Grandma yesterday and found out my mom had told some close friends so they could prayer for my pregnancy.
@asf0613 yes I was getting them monthly before too. But hey it was a good opportunity to practice some labor breathing exercises 😂 it was definitely later, like 3rd tri, that it became sooo painful!
