Re: Weekly Check In 11/29
Or else my pregnancy dreams are just being weird.For example, did have one where DH and I were trying to outrun a guy that claimed to have a bad case of Covid, but he didn’t care so he was trying to spread it. We booked it in our car with DS and for some reason ended up taking refuge at Tony Stark’s(as played by Robert Downey Jr) mansion. I hugged him as he seemed stunned we got past security… Lol
So IDK anymore.
I hope honestly either of my children enjoys art/ drawing as they grow. I’m a hobby artist myself and would love to be able to draw and paint with them.
Whatever their hobbies are, I don’t mind though.
Sorry you’re still sick.
Glad to know I’m not the only one that dreams of leaving their child, makes me feel slightly less guilty.
Rant: Holiday dynamics and pregnancy symptoms. I feel silly about this, but this pregnancy has significantly impacted my ability to do simple day to day things. The HG is under control, but I think I am experiencing the lingering effects of being so sick in the beginning and not really being able to get out of bed much for several months. Even this early, I have to lay down or nap at least once a day in order to get through the day. Otherwise, I end up with exhaustion, a lot of discomfort and/or Braxton Hicks. I am not confident I can participate in the typical family Christmas routine of shlep three hours in the car to spend one or two hours at two different locations. We are offering to host our families at our house instead so I can lay down whenever I need to, but it is turning into such a ‘thing’ to change the ‘tradition’ for a year 🥴
I really enjoy performing arts like dance, theater, music, etc. It would be neat to for this baby to enjoy either watching or participating in those things too!
I'm definitely gonna run out of data this month lol
I just hope my kids find a passion. We will expose them to as much as possible, and hopefully they will find something they really enjoy and are excellent at.
@jenis_fan_for_life I'm sorry you haven't been feeling well lately either. Also, I totally feel you on having to change up the Christmas schedule this year and dealing with family pusback. I hope that everything falls into place with as little stress on you as possible.
EDD / Weeks + Days: March 24
Rant: I got snow boots (because Montreal gets considerably more snow than the Bay Area did lol), and they gave me such bad blisters on the first day that I wore them that I can't put them on right now at all. I have had to switch back to my tennis shoes for the moment because they won't rub on my heels. I haven't had blisters this bad in such a long time. I forgot how painful it can be to break in new shoes.
I don’t have anything in particular, but I do hope he just finds something that gives him joy.
@Panaceia I so hate to hear that you're feeling bad again (still...). I am impressed at your patience with the process while parenting 2 kids already.
@jenis_fan_for_life I'm sorry your family isn't being accommodating about the holidays. My dad and MIL are like that about "traditions" and it drives me bonkers. I understand the sentiment, but when it's clearly not in the best interest of the participants- just ugh.
@rachelredhead i have a chair massager that i use sometimes and always get overzealous and makes me sore for the next day lol
@goldfishcraker oh man that allergy challenge must be so nerve wracking. Thinking of you!
@animator_mama I definitely have concerns about ppd/ppa. One thing that has helped me is talking to DH about it and what to look for. Makes me feel confident that he will be able to spot the signs and help me get help if need be.
@Nik102 yes! Viability is a small sigh of relief! Glad you're feeling that movement
EDD / Weeks + Days: 3/20 24+1
im hoping both our kiddos will really enjoy hiking and camping like we do! I had just bought a hiking carrier for DS1 a couple weeks before learning I was pregnant. Then felt too much like garbage the rest of the good hiking season. So that was a major bummer. And we only got one camping trip out of this past summer as well. Also a big bummer!
@animator_mama I had postpartum anxiety after my first that lasted until she stopped nursing...so 3.5 years...I echo what others said...just be honest with your H and your doctor about how you're feeling and be aware of the signs and what to look for. I didn't have it with DD2 and I'm really hoping it doesn't come back this time, but don't be afraid to talk to your doctor about it ahead of time, like now, as just having that conversation might start to make you feel a bit better about everything.
@appleblossom8317 Let me know how you like the snoo! I almost bought one with DD2 and now I kind of wish I had!
@morgantu Sorry the little still isn't feeling well but lol at the waffle iron! The people who write these things must do their best to mess with us on purpose 🤣
Thanks for all the sympathy and comiseration! My GP told me to try meal replacement shakes for a day or so and see if maybe not eating as much solid food might help with the nausea...so picking up some Ensure today to see if that will help/stay down.
I’ve had massive pelvic girdle pain since Thanksgiving, which is making it harder to do simple stuff around the house, which is so frustrating to me. Belly band helps a little, so I am living in it at this point. Emotionally- Anxiety has been high the last couple of days. I know it’s still early for consistency with her movement, but it drives me nuts to feel her so strongly and constantly one day, and then little and light the next. Yesterday I’m pretty sure she was snuggled up near my tailbone. Anterior placenta and some extra weight around the middle don’t help matters.
I hope both of my kids get my love for reading. Would love if she also likes crafty things like crochet or cross stitch. My DS is super physically active and I’m not sure he’s ever going to sit still long enough for me to teach him those things. Hoping she’s at least a little more on the chill side haha.
@Panaceia ugh hate that you’re still so sick 😔
@jenis_fan_for_life good for you, no need for you to torture yourself this Christmas! I’m sure people will be happy to change it up too
@rachelredhead ohhhh that’s so nice, I’d be making her do that weekly
@goldfishcraker good luck to DS, hopefully it’s nothing 🤞🏼
@nik102 yay for viability!
@morgantu 😂 I’d love to meet the people who make these comparisons up
@nursejenn5 tis the season to spend money 😂
@achanceintime FX movement becomes more consistent soon
EDD / Weeks + Days: 26w5d
@jenis_fan_for_life I also ordered from Blanqi last week, so hoping my order comes soon! Glad you are happy with your order!
@rachelredhead +1 for RLP, especially when changing sleeping positions at night
@animator_mama Enjoy decorating your Christmas tree! And blisters are the worst!
EDD / Weeks + Days: 24+6, March 16
@jenis_fan_for_life we are also hosting all holidays this year. Not even going to pretend I’d be able to endure traveling and spending time at other people’s houses.
@rachelredhead the massage gun massage sounds like a dreammmmm. Also huge baseball fans over here. (Go braves ❤️💙)
@goldfishcraker hope the rest of DS allergy challenge went well!
@animator_mama struggles horribly with PPD and PP OCD after my first. Have definitely made adjustments and plans to better prepare this time. Im not sure there is a way to know whether or not it’ll be something you struggle with but the best thing you could do would be to get help sooner rather than later. That is my only regret.
@Nik102 glad you are feeling well. Hope the appts go well!
@appleblossom8317 also battling acid reflux and nausea in the evenings. Every day. Despite what I eat and when. Have been munching on lots of Tums.
@morgantu yay for all the movement but double boo for a crazy work day and reoccurring illness.
@nursejenn5 yay for a little shopping spree
@achanceintime my son is also nonstop, rambunctious, full of energy 100% of the time. Totally get it.
@gembud thinking of you guys. That sounds completely miserable. Hope things improve quickly
@jennifer_m21 yay for free baby items!
SO hasn't had time to make it shopping yet, so I'm hoping he gets them sometime soon so I can try it and see how it goes. FX it helps at least a bit!
also weight gain… I’ve never eaten so much in my life but I’ve only gained 5 lbs everything I read says 12-15 by now. Anybody else not gaining weight?
any sport is good by me! My husband and I were both university athletes so I hope our kids will enjoy any sport like we did!
As far as weight gain, @Panaceia has it right on. I ask my providers not to discuss my weight in appointments unless they're concerned but one did mention yesterday that this appt i "finally gained some weight". But she wasn't worried at all. If baby is doing ok and you're feeling good, that's the most important.
