HDBD October 19

[Winnifred]

Good morning, ladies - let's see your bumps this week!

Also, add your rant/random/rave.

[Winnifred]

I'll get us rolling this morning....

32w3d for me:



My random/rant is that I'm just feeling totally exhausted this week. I came home last night just in a terribly crappy mood, dinner was totally disgusting so I barely ate, went to bed for a while, and still just felt really emotional/tired. I did enjoy a small glass of wine with a snack later on and that helped, but I'm really dragging still. I also forgot to brush my teeth before work this morning, I don't think I've forgotten to do that since I was a child! Currently considering a 1/2 day PTO tomorrow...

You always look so cute Winnifred !!

I have a bonus picture today!! Since my bestie and my mom are sneaky sneaks who sneak and planned a baby shower, I was going through gifts and writing out thank you's last night. Josey was reminding me that HE was still the baby and to not forget it!!

[Winnifred]

Aww thanks, lastnamewithheld - same to you! And OMG your cat is adorable!! So sweet

[Evelyn3]

Here's mine!


My rant is im over this cough! I want it gone already! I feel like every time I start feeling "normal" something else happens

[Evelyn3]

Winnifred sorry about the exhaustion

[kaliRN]

Last HDBD for me! 38+6 today and my csection is tomorrow morning!

My rant is that my MIL is already trying to call dibs on holding baby boy before my step mom since "she's the REAL grandma." It irked me to no end- especially since this was a donor egg so blood and genes do not make a family! But I'm trying to let it go.

Sorry for the huge pic and for the pajama pants. We are cleaning trying to get the house ready for baby since we are major procrastinators who waited until the day before lol

[Winnifred]

Evelyn3 omg such a cute outfit!!! Hope you're feeling better soon!

kaliRN, I'm so excited for you! Sorry your mil is on your nerves, that would piss me off. Best of luck to you tomorrow!!

Ahhhh good luck kaliRN!!! I can't wait to meet your little guy!!

[dancerspose]

Winnifred looking great as usual!
lastnamewithheld love the kitty cat shot!
Evelyn3 love your polka dot skirt/dress!
kaliRN good luck today!!!!
jennykat yay for little bump showing up!

Here I am at 23w.


As for a rant - I just hate my work life right now. It figures that things finally turn around personally and it all goes to hell professionally. If I could afford to leave or had any options making equivalent pay without moving I would do so in a heartbeat.

[Winnifred]

dancerspose, I'm sorry you feel that way about your professional situation right now. I had a work situation gone to hell last summer and it was extremely difficult to deal with. I was able to find a new job but that can be really difficult to do while pregnant for sure. I hope things get better for you, or that a new opportunity comes your way!

Thank you! I don't really have that many options, unfortunately. I am the primary income for our household, and the only way I could really change my situation (without taking an income hit) would be if I were willing to take on a fairly long commute. Given that I'm trying to maintain my work/life balance these next few years especially that won't really work either.  I'm going to hope that things turn around here as quickly as they went south, but that's not likely realistic.

[Evelyn3]

dancerspose I hope things turn around where you are to make it all less stressful. Finding something else isn't easy.

kaliRN best of luck today!!!!!!

[Winnifred]

I need more bumps, looks like we're still missing some of our regulars!

peaseblossom55, somechica, fightersince83, crazycatlady6, I'm waiting!

[crazycatlady6]

Winnifred - I'll have DH take one tonight, it's been 2 weeks since the last one so I'm due for another one.

[peaseblossom55]

28 weeks 5 days

fightersince83, don't hate on the neutrals! I'm always wearing black/tan/navy/gray, I can't help it. Your dress looks adorable, so does your bump, and the tiny bit of your bedroom showing also looks fab! Triplets are still doing good I assume?!

peaseblossom55, yay, so cute!

[dream2be3]

Late to the party as usual...

[crazycatlady6]

Here we go. 22w, 5'7"

Yes ma'am we saw the OB yesterday and the RE today. Everyone looked great and we saw them wiggling away. It's gonna get bonkers when I can feel them moving. My DD was pretty active but 3 boys?! It's gonna be a non-stop party in there

[fightersince83]

Winnifred apparently I wear a lot of neutrals too. Gray is so easy for work, it's just so funny that every Wednesday I seem to wear gray. Thanks, each day the bump gets bigger. It's outting me at work now. I've been trying to disguise it a bit but it's more and more obvious. Thanks, we may actually be moving now because of this unexpected turn of events. It's freaking me out because the new place needs a lot of work vs our house we've already completely redone, but it's about 1000 sq ft bigger and the lot is huge. Am I really taking on a fixer upper when I'm pregnant with triplets? 😳
