@disgruntled_pelican I’m so happy you have such a good friend who was willing to drop everything and come check on you and baby. Even happier to hear all is well.
My poor buggy has a little fever. He hasn't left the house in like a month since our covid exposure so I'm not worried about covid, but it sucks when your kiddos don't feel good
Thank you all for kind and supportive words. I am doing okay today, just tired and anxious. I’m still spotting but it’s mostly brown and slowed down a lot. My lower back is bothering me but I’m trying not to dwell on that. I am going into L&D on Sunday to get a Rhogam shot and probably another peek at the baby. I’m just taking easy this weekend and trying to focus on the positive. I know bleeding and spotting happens in pregnancy, but it was so much so fast with no warning. This almost exact same thing happened with my second, I’m trying to take comfort in how well that turned out even when it didn’t seem like it would. I really appreciate you all! Thanks for all the love and support!

@disgruntled_pelican Sending you lots of love! That sounds like such a scary situation. I'm so glad your friend could put your mind at ease a bit. Try to relax when you can this weekend! @ruemcclanahan I'm sorry your LO isn't feeling well! Hopefully they get better soon!!!
I'm soo excited.. more good news. My OB just called me and told me that my biopsy results from my cervix from my colposcopy came back today and it's all benign and all is normal. Yay no cancer. Im so happy and relieved. 😀
@ruemcclanahan Sick kids are always so hard. Hope he feels better soon!
@disgruntled_pelican SCH’s are so scary! I remember crying so much when going through mine with DD. Glad you got some reassurance quickly and that you are doing better today. Hope you have a relaxing and uneventful weekend!
Thanks for all the kind words everyone! Last night was awful, he woke up every 45 mins all night long. Hoping for some naps today and a more restful night
I went to get my nails done today before our shutdown tomorrow and almost vomited in my mask 🤣🤣 It took all my will power to keep my Greek yogurt down. Terrible but at least my nails look good 💅🏼
Last night DH ate the last Klondike bar and then started pouring tea and almost took the last of it too. We had to have a discussion about not consuming the last of anything in the house without asking me first, unless it is something he specifically asked me to purchase for him. He said, “so your telling me if I see something that looks good I can’t eat it?” Precisely! Now you are catching on. I did tell him that he could have anything he wanted as long as it wasn’t the last of that thing. There is no telling what pregnant me wants to eat or drink.
@mc0303 I really should have got my haircut before the shutdown. It has been a year! Yikes! Glad you nails are pretty! I get so nauseous when it is warm in a store with my mask, I can’t imagine with the fumes of the nail salon.
@klj0228 For sure that should be a rule! Glad he is catching on lol!
@ramzlau same on the haircut front. Feeling like I missed my window to do things like that. Now it’ll likely not even be an option (for my comfort level anyway) until spring at the earliest. A friend told me about a trick for trimming your own hair if you have long hair, but I’ve been too chicken to try it!
@ramzlau@halfanewt same. My highlights are so grown out- last got them done in January 😭 got a quick trim in July but really should've chopped it off bc there's no way I'm going again until spring at the earliest- my hair's already just about to my waist. I've been cutting DH's hair and he cuts ds' hair.
On the topic of hair cuts etc.. I have an appt today to get my hair dyed and trimmed. Is it not safe during pregnancy? I was told it was ok at a salon. I had it done last time during my pregnancy and it seemed ok.
@mindyb2019 I think there’s outdated advice about not getting your hair dyed bc of the fumes. My OB said it’s perfectly fine 🤷🏻♀️ There are some processes that use formaldehyde like the Brazilian blowout and you should def avoid those. I plan on getting my hair colored soon. After hair salons open up again here 🙄
@mindyb2019 my ob says it's fine and I've gotten highlights before during all trimesters! I would go today if it weren't for covid. I have very thick hair and thick stands, so getting partial highlights and a trim usually means I'm at the salon 4-6 hours and I'm not comfortable doing that right now.
I gave up and am just letting my hair grow. I think I got a cut in Feb or March, but it'll be over a year before I go back. It's recently hit "mermaid hair" stage, which I'm kind of excited about (i.e. long enough to cover your boobs, like a mermaid). Luckily I generally don't dye my hair, so it's just going to get some split ends and be kind of limp as the layers grow out, but not really a big deal. I'm just not comfortable being in an enclosed space with other people for that amount of time, especially considering that I don't care that much.
Ok good. Thanks ladies. Im out at the salon now. Yay. I do have to say its not as relaxing at the salon anymore when you have to wear a mask for over an hour 😆 but at least ill look good after LOL
@akoros I have mermaid hair lol Its getting so long and needs a cut.
Y’all are making me jealous with these salon trips. My hair usually gets cut to my shoulders but it’s now way past my bra strap. It’s wavy so when it’s longer the weight of my hair just makes it look limp. But it’s full of volume when it’s shorter and much more manageable. Salons should be more available soon here I hope. I can’t wait to cut this hair off lol
I think my cat finally figured out that I'm pregnant- for the past week she's been sleeping in bed right next to me, body under the blankets and her little head on my pillow from 11-630 straight. It's so unlike her- she's usually in and out of bed all night and hates the blankets. Last night I got in bed early and didn't "tell" her and she was so mad- she came stomping into bed around 2 am and stood on my hair and stared at me until I opened the blanket for her 😂
