working moms- when are you going to start looking for a daycare? I am not thrilled with my daughter's daycare (thankfully she's only there for two more months then she starts kindergarten) so will need to find something new. I know in some areas people get on wait lists before the baby is even conceived!
@PYLWhammy I work from home and I've already started shopping part time daycares. My favorite, first choice does not offer part time care so I'm back to square one. I don't think she'll start until she's a few months old, but getting a feel of how long the wait lists are & budget costs has motivated me to start shopping now.
@rgn12 UGH, I don't even want to THINK about how much weight I've gained. I know the number and just keep telling myself I've lost it before, I can do it again!
@mommaduck2490 yea I’ve kind of accepted this pregnancy is just going to be wayyyyy different. I only gained 20-ish the entire pregnancy last time, so this is crazy to me!
@PYLWhammy I am just looking at places for my 2.5 year old daughter now. I was really gung ho about being a SAHM and raising her myself instead of paying someone else to raise her, but she is SOOOO difficult lately I feel like she needs the structure,vaiety, and socialization that daycare can provide her and I can't. There are VERY limited placements left for fall, so hopefully something works out.
This baby is SO stubborn. I have yet to hear his/her heartbeat. I have SEEN it on the bedside ultrasound, but whenever they try with the doppler, baby is so tucked up in my uterus it's impossible to get a heartbeat reading. I have seen baby wave and kick around like crazy, though. Hopefully at the anatomy scan I can finally hear it!
I mentioned this in last weeks randoms, but I'm still dealing with hives/rashes and the worse one got super swollen Friday and little vesicles showed up and started oozing. So gross. My family practice doc office couldn't get me in so I went to the walk in clinic associated with them and the doctor was terrible. At first he told me he didn't treat pregnant people. WTAF?! I told him I already called my ob and they said a steroid pack was ok. He listened to my lungs, didn't hardly look at my rash or open weeping swollen ankle, and wrote me a script for a medrol dose pack. Horrible. My ob was closed when I got done seeing him. It got way worse Saturday so I went into urgent care and they gave me topical and oral antibiotics and swabbed it to culture it. It continued to get worse so I made an appointment at my family practice doc office with a different doc (mine is working in the hospital this week), and called my ob office to talk to the nurse and send her pics of the progress. It's horrible you guys. My ob was pissed and asked who I saw friday and the name of the doc I was seeing yesterday. She called and spoke with him before my appointment. Whether my ob talking to him had anything to do with it or not he was much more attentive than his colleague. He recognized the rash and infection (that's more than 1/3rd up my leg now) wasn't being controlled with my current steroids and antibiotics so he prescribed stronger ones that are ok for pregnancy. Please send good vibes that this starts getting better. The itching constantly is horrible and the infection is kind of scary especially being pregnant.
Also my mom should get her results this week whether her cancer is mutated or not which changes her prognosis and treatment plan so hoping for good news.

@mockingjay1 Wow. A doctor saying he doesn't treat pregnant people is disgusting. I can't even. F him. I an so sorry you arent getting the treatment you need and that the rash has gotten so bitch worse! How scary. Ugh. And frustrating! I hope the new antibiotics and steroids do the trick. Hoping for the best possible news for your mom, too.
Ugh @mockingjay1 I’m so sorry! That sounds miserable and awful and super frustrating. - praying for the best for your mom
Just popping in for a quick update from harvest. It’s been nonstop at work, DH luckily got done Saturday night with their own fields, but moved on to help another farmer who’s been having a rough go. He got Sunday off while I worked 8am-10pm. Both my girls got sick and poor DH didn’t have a good Father’s Day. Lots of cuddles I guess. An already stressful week got worse when the girls didn’t get better. FIL filled in yesterday, bless his heart, and then this morning in my way out the door my youngest started puking again after seeming fine yesterday. 😥 neither DH or I feel like we can take off, but we ended up splitting the day. I worked 8-12 and will go back in at 5. Really hoping tomorrow they both feel better and can go back to babysitter! Ugh.. what a week, and it’s only Tuesday.
Sorry for the pity post, but I just needed to vent a bit!
@mockingjay1 - o my, that sounds horrible!! I’m so glad your OB talked to the other doctor and I sure hope the news meds work quickly!!
@savedbygrace1213- so much work and hours!! Idk how you do it and with sick kids. Is the Harvest much longer?

@rgn12 you’re creating a life! Give yourself some grace! I choose the refuse to weigh myself method lol
@PYLWhammy it’s never too early to start! I had to find a new daycare when I moved about 2 months ago, and some places were booked clear until Fall 2023!
@scaredunprepared seeing the movement is so reassuring, but FX you hear the heartbeat soon!
@mockingjay1 sending lots of healing vibes to you and your mom ♥️
@savedbygrace1213 I’m sorry you’re dealing with sick kiddos and work demands. It’s such a tough spot to be in. I hope everyone is feeling better soon!
Hi all! Sorry I am just jumping in. I’ve been so absent because I found it hard to put genuine effort in when there were so many contributors. It seems to have slowed down some, and I’m going to make an effort to contribute!
@mockingjay1 umm that's terrible. I'm glad your OB called and told those other docs to smarten the hell up. Do they have any idea what could be causing it? Hives on your legs seems odd for a food allergy but I guess it's not unheard of. It sounds more like you came into contact with something your body doesn't like. Hopefully the steroids calm it down. I would definitely ask for allergy testing if the hives continue. I hope you feel better soon and that your mom has good news 💜
@savedbygrace1213 kids always get sick at the most inconvenient times lol. DS still has a cold and we are on day 7. I find it takes him a good 2 weeks to get over a cold. I hope your girls feel better.
@kaitcrystalline - Thank you! So my culture came back as mold! I would guess that caused it? I know I'm extremely allergic to mold from being tested years ago. No idea when we were in contact with it unless we touched it during pictures, but that would be quite a delay from exposure to our rashes/hives showing up. I'm still itchy AF and have hives but the infection is looking much better. I just want to be done itching.

Thanks ladies. The week got a bit worse before it got better. I ended up taking my 3yo in and they wanted lab work done. That was a challenge, but thank goodness her results came back fairly good and they said she’s just fighting a nasty virus. I ended up missing a few half days at work, but harvest is winding down and it rained last night!! Which means we all get to sleep in since no one can cut! 🤞🏻 This is the start of a better week 😅.
@mockingjay1 so glad your infection is looking better, hopefully the itching subsided soon!!
@mommaduck2490 that’s the worst! I call this snizzing 😂 sneeze+whizzing
Good news, got my labs back from AFP and screening came back negative for open spina bifida. Hopefully we’re on track for a good anatomy scan in a few weeks! 🤞🏻
Does anyone ever have dull abdominal pain? I picked up our dog after forgetting how heavy she actually is (about 35 pounds) and ever since my left lower abdominal aches. Not necessarily pain, just more like a tight muscle. It doesn't seem like RLP since it's not a sharp pain. 😕

@kaitcrystalline I’ve had this on and off. I’ve chalked it up to RLP, but maybe I’m wrong.
