Kabocha squash not counting arms and legs. %90 of infants birth this gestation can survive which is pretty cool!
Hopefully later this week or early next week, I need to figure out MFM scheduling today
I can't think of a single rave honestly, just a lot of stress on my plate and my spouse is being extremely unlikable today.
We do easter baskets for my son, we don't do anything else, I've never understood st patrick's day at all 😅 I'm also extremely scottish so maybe that factors in lol.
We're not religious, but I love parties and any excuse to celebrate anything. So we get together with family for Easter and do baskets and egg hunts. A funny little story about St. Pats is that our wedding anniversary is March 16, and we honeymooned in Chicago. We stayed the night in a hotel in town then drove the 9 hours to Chi town on the 17th. We get there, we're walking around downtown as it's getting dark and pass the river. I was like "what in the genuine f*ck is wrong with this river??" because it was a nasty color. I thought Chicago just had the filthiest water you could imagine. We pass it again in daylight the next day, and realize it's green. For St. Patrick's Day. In Chicago of all places. I felt so silly when my husband pointed it all out to me 😂
@peyts228 omg nooo spd is hell on earth, I'm so sorry, I hope you can find something to help relieve the pain.
Eta I am waiting to hear back about which MFM office or alternative imaging I can do because the birth center refers typically to an office 1.5 hours away from me, but I got my first appointment set up for next week and just my luck it's the glucose screen 🤦🏻♀️ I hate it, I wish I could opt out. But alas. I thought I would be reassured that I won't be automatically booted from care if I fail like they did at my last center but I'm still a nervous wreck.

I don't even remember what wild fact the bump told me today. I'm just waiting to see what new fruit/vegetable he will be compared to tomorrow as I hit 27 weeks
Vbac "consult" zoom call on the 20th.
I am like @thescarletmom and look for any excuse to celebrate anything. For st Patrick's day I always make Irish food. When reese was little we made a leprechaun trap. Now there's this paint and dessert place I want to take him to to do a st Patty's day paint and eat dessert night. For Easter my mom always pays these church people to come through and "egg " our house. They leave Easter eggs all over the front lawn the night before Easter and reese wakes up to candy filled eggs all over. Then of course Easter baskets.
@kalesix3 I can laugh about it now because I was sooo sleep deprived (I planned our little wedding in three months and was awake from 4am-midnight the day of preparing, and we didnt sleep in much the day after so we could get on the road) but in the moment I was like wow, how did you not realize you had planned your wedding for the day before St. Patrick's Day? Must be the Irish heritage in me pulling me that direction haha.
Best of luck with your glucose screen!! That's so nervewracking. Thankfully my midwife doesn't boot anyone from her practice automatically upon failing the GD screen, but she will if you can't get it under control with diet quickly. I have always opted out since I'm pretty aware of my glucose levels due to hypoglycemia and have a monitor at home I can use.
@hitcj4687 man I love any reason to do silly little themed crafts or those jelly window stickers and fun foods or outings. I will celebrate anything! Catch me doing waaay too much putting together baskets for my kids for Valentines, Easter, 4th of July, Back to School, Halloween... I think everybody has that thing they do as a parent that's completely unnecessary but they do for the sake of themselves and bringing a little magic into their kids lives? That's me and seasonal/holiday celebrations.
Rants / Raves: my dog has been gone a year and a month and I really miss him today. He loved to travel. My shotgun rider. He could not for the life of him sleep in a moving vehicle a slow down or blinker goes on and he was up to investigate. Going to one of his favorite places on the way.
I cook corn beef and cabbage and hash, as well as Colcannon for St. Patty's Day. When I'm not pregnant we drink Irish style as well. We wear green and tell of St. Patrick and why it is celebrated.
We celebrate easier
@thescarletmom I'd love to just skip it, I hate doing the test and I have irrational anxiety that whatever result I get will be wrong 🤦🏻♀️
27 weeks
baby #5
boy!!
glucose test tomorrow
feeling good but starving all the time!
I can’t stop eating. And I feel like when I try to do anything my belly is in the way. I keep bumping it on the sink when doing dishes so then my shirt is all wet.
we do Easter baskets and go to church for Easter. But we also celebrate Tigers opening day with a hot dog, nachos and popcorn lunch. I love sports, and the Tigers are definitely my favorite team.
Not so much St. Patrick's, but we do more for Easter - basket's and egg hunt. My mom always cut bunny footprints out of white paper and trailed them around the house/outside leading to our baskets. I'm excited to start those fun memories with my girls
At my last appointment she gave me my 'home birth checklist' to start preparing and my mind is blown that we're getting that close 🤯
