Re: Weekly Check-In w/o 7/4
Rave: I love my husband's car, it's nicer than mine, so I get to drive that now I guess while we share it lol. Also highly glad we had full coverage on my car or else this would be an even bigger nightmare right now.
๐ค๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐:ย
GTKY: Tell us about your nursery plans/theme ideas (or lack thereof). No theme. We have just want to make it work. Weโre collecting hand me downs from family and friends since we have one set of stuff, but need two more, so our cribs are not going to match. The babies will be sharing a room when they get home from the NICU and we plan to set up another bedroom as a changing/feeding/up in the middle of the night space.
๐ค๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐: when did everyoneโs doctor tell them they should expect a pattern of movement? Is there a certain amount per day I should feel her move?
GTKY: Tell us about your nursery plans/theme ideas (or lack thereof).
Weโre not super worried about a theme,
but weโve bought lots of baby elephant things. ๐
Other rant: we have to buy a car and soon. We tried to buy one a couple weeks ago and they sold it to another dealership and increased the price $3000.
Rave: I think I found a contractor. Our neighbor is one but he's booked solid until November. He said he would come by and that he could probably make it work even though he's got jobs lined up for months. I told him even if it's just the drywall work and not even the door that would allow me to complete the room.

๐ค๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐:
GTKY: Tell us about your nursery plans/theme ideas (or lack thereof).ย I go back and forth on wanting to decorate the nursery - currently the room is my plant room/yoga room/reading room/cat's roomย
@krthouse ugh the GD testing process is so stressful. Fingers crossed you get through the 3 hr with flying colors.ย
๐ค๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐: When do your OBs start wanting to see you every 2 weeks? Mine want to starting at 30 weeks.ย
GTKY: Tell us about your nursery plans/theme ideas (or lack thereof).ย Baby will be sleeping in our room for at least the first 6 months or so, so Iโm procrastinating. He will be taking over the guest bedroom eventually, and I was thinking of doing a travel/exploring theme with maps and stuff.ย
I do think Maxwell Craig has a lovely ring to it but both Logan and Conor are great as well.ย
I absolutely love the idea of a travel theme.ย
๐ค๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐: Do you all like belly bands? I'm thinking of getting one in case it relieves some pressure, but they also seem a little uncomfortable?
GTKY: Tell us about your nursery plans/theme ideas (or lack thereof).ย Baby will sleep in our room for the first year-ish, then share our daughter's room, so we haven't really added anything special. We are working on adding new flooring to the office/study now, which will ultimately become the second bedroom! Figured we might as well get that done now.
not sure yetย
pretty good, all things considering. Exhausted all the time and the heartburn is really starting to kick!!ย
Rant: I always used to joke around about how much I disliked people, but really starting stand by that. My boyfriend got in an accident back in the beginning of June, and after weeks on life support and some complications that came up unexpectedly, I did end up saying goodbye as he passed away last week. Iโm doing okay, as okay as I can be, just trying to really focus on me and the baby and taking care of ourselves as he made sure I did every step of the way so far. But people are idiots. His funeral is tomorrow so Iโve already been more of an emotional mess today than I wouldโve liked to have been, and while in the store this evening I ran across this elderly lady I knew. I know she had good intentions and was trying to seem caring, but instead she went on for nearly 10 minutes about how anxiety and depression from such an event could harm the baby and I need to be careful with harming her on accident. Jump to getting in my truck afterwards and I completely lost it. Iโm already a nervous wreck with this pregnancy after losing him, the last thing I needed to be told was I could harm my baby by handling this in the wrong way. On top of that are all the countless comments I get that the father is gonna leave me because Iโm a teen mom and thatโs just what they do, when no one knows that he was literally the guy who from the moment I found out I was pregnant dropped everything, worked more, and was with me every step of the way making sure he was a good dad. I just wish people would keep comments to themselves and realize that the only way Iโm gonna continue to be okay is if they are helpful and not criticizing.ย
Does anyone have any tips for helping ease heartburn?ย
GTKY: Tell us about your nursery plans/theme ideas (or lack thereof).ย
I think your boyfriend's parents would love to have their granddaughter living with them. She will be a bright spot for everyone.ย
As for heartburn, tums help me lots but if you find that isn't enough and it's really bad your care provider can prescribe a stronger antacid. Figuring out which foods make it worse for you and avoiding those can help too and trying to not eat/drink too close to laying down can also help.
