Re: Pregnancy Check in - week of 1/1
GTKY: I have had fewer this time around unfortunately. My dreams with my first kid were so so funny. I did have one a few weeks ago that I was taking a calculus class with my 6 year old and he was doing better than me 😂

Rant: Both boys are still breech - I know there's still time for them to move, but I would really rather that they do it!
Rave: We set a date for the baby shower/sprinkle in 2 weeks, so it's fun to be planning!
GTKY: have you had any strange/funny pregnancy dreams? Yes? But none that I can remember 🤷🏻♀️

GTKY: have you had any strange/funny pregnancy dreams? Not really! I had one dream I gave birth and was surprised that the baby was the size of a 9 month old and could sit up, eat solids, etc!
farm_mama the only one I can think of off the top of my head is like a roast beef crockpot freezermeal
GTKY: have you had any strange/funny pregnancy dreams? Yes! But it was weird and I woke up super anxious about it lol

GTKY: have you had any strange/funny pregnancy dreams? I know I have, but can’t remember them now 🤷♀️
I am taking Mary Ruth's prenatal liquid iron supplement. It is disgusting and seriously tastes like rusty nails. As long as I take it in a shot glass, chase it with tons of water, and make sure I don't get any on my lips it is okay. 🤣 The good news is I could feel a difference after about two days.
I have ordered this one as well, but I haven't tried it yet. (I won't take both at the same time of course!)

@ceclarlinetlo
I love soup and that looks exactly like what we need! I have white bean chicken Chili and ground beef taco soup on my list. I can't decide how to do the beans. I feel like when I've precooked my beans before they got mushy, but freezing dry beans seems weird? I use an instant pot regularly so my thought was put dry beans in and just account for cook time? Idk I am over thinking it!
@farm_mama I’m always a fan of freezing bulk spaghetti sauce. Spaghetti squash bowls are also awesome. Chopped up veg for crockpot meals/soups. Lots of breakfast breads, scones, etc, for easy breakfasts. I find I’m most hungry/have least patience for cooking in the morning, but can usually manage to cobble a dinner together throughout the day.
@hedgepig I have no idea how you are doing it friend. I feel stretched with just the one. And I know twins inherently have less room, but all of my babes including this one have been flip floppy until the last minute. I tell myself not to stress, but it’s hard not to.
@farm_mama so glad you are doing better ❤️ no real recipe, but with my first I prepped a ton of breakfast burritos that I wrapped in parchment and then aluminum foil and would warm them up in the toaster oven, or could remove the foil and microwave them. They were the best for early breastfeeding days when you only have one hand to eat and I was always starving in the mornings.
@alexxajams hope baby eases your anxiety by staying head down. My baby literally changes direction multiple times a day. Always interesting feeling where they are.
@halfanewt im currently trying to raise my hemoglobin at the request of my midwife. She recommended ionic chlorophyll in water once or twice a day which I’ve started. And i bought Floridex as I heard it is very effective and works quickly. Waiting on it to be delivered. I also use Lucky Iron Fish to infuse water with iron that I keep in the fridge and drink over a few days. It doesn't alter the taste at all and will be good to use for baby too once they start eating solids. Cooking in cast iron is a great way to passively increase iron intake if you have it.
GTKY: have you had any strange/funny pregnancy dreams? I always have strange dreams when pregnant but I can never remember details just a feeling of wtf when I wake up.
EDD / Weeks + Days: April 2, 27w
GTKY: have you had any strange/funny pregnancy dreams? I mean, not really funny/strange but mostly amorphous that have made me panicky which has been my least fav thing about this pregnancy. Would take some funny ones!

GTKY: have you had any strange/funny pregnancy dreams? Nothing strange or funny. Mostly just apocalyptic nightmares or nightmares of something happening to my kids or husband. Happens every pregnancy.
GTKY: have you had any strange/funny pregnancy dreams? All my dreams are super complicated/elaborate right now. But I generally don't remember them in any detail. We did try taking our cat out on harness, and then she got spooked and managed to wriggle out. So I've had a couple of dreams I vaguely remember about her escaping. But otherwise it's just too much!
I don't have anything picked out to chose between
@halfanewt How has your first week back at school been? Technically my mom is hosting, but I'm helping out a lot. We though my SIL would want to help too, but she's getting back from Europe a few days before and seems to have little interest, so whatever. My cousin is also helping out a bit, which is nice!
@night_nurse Thanks for the reassurance - my doc says the same thing, especially since I've had babies before, and my fluid levels are good, she says there's still plenty of time for them to flip. One of them has definitely been trying to, and maybe is even head down now, but it's really hard to tell 🤷🏻♀️ I'm also so relieved to have all the Christmas stuff put away, but the holiday clutter has been replaced with baby clutter as I start to get all the diapers and clothes and stuff out of storage, so the house is still a mess of boxes and bins. Sigh.
Sorry that things are so hard with your toddler - mine isn't still nursing, but it is really hard just having her always trying to climb/hang on/be as physically close as possible. I just don't know how she's going to handle the big changes to come.
@SpartanCat I just went on Etsy and shopped around til I found some cute sleepers for bringing home outfits, but honestly I could have just gone to a store and done the same. I definitely wanted something super soft with pretty colors. We were like you with our first - I didn't have any NB clothes, and so the outfit he came home in was giant on him (and all of his clothes for the first few weeks 😅).

@farm_mama I have a bunch of freezer recipes to add! This is usually my gift when my friends are expecting- I'll come over and meal prep like a mad woman. When I have more energy, I'll type them up for ya'll!
