Let's Random 2/20-2/26

Please tell me I'm not the only one...I eat a meal and am stuffed and then like 20 minutes later am starving again...I don't remember this happening until like 3rd tri with dd! Maybe a growth spurt?

[mambo]

I've totally got a bump... I guess this whole 6th pregnancy and third child thing is making me bump....

[wells2010]

Yea salmon2017 I have started showing earlier with each pregnancy. I would say I look like I'm 20-22 weeks right now and I'm 10. Boo.
You look great!!

Thanks for all of the med suggestions! I'm trying guafinesin tonight so hopefully that works. I really want to call out for tomorrow but am not wanting to burn any leave!

[izzy0927]

Wtf you guys?!? I haven't puked in like a month, and now that I'm 12 weeks (tomorrow) it's been barf central all day. Every time my kid is like "oh no! Mama alright? All good?" which is adorable but hard to respond to and it freaks him out. On the bright side, he peed AND pooped on the potty for the first time today, so at least one of us is managing our bodily fluids well.

You are not alone. This is pretty much my life right now in a nutshell.

Yeah. This happens to me too. I say its a growth spurt. I was this way around 9 weeks. Then my appetite was back to normal for a week or so but today I feel that way again (11+2).

My parents have been in Mexico for the past three weeks and fly home tonight. Their flight was supposed to get in at 7:15 so I thought that's just a little past DD's bedtime, we can pick them up. It got delayed until 10pm. This should be interesting.

Ugh totally me, I feel so uncomfortable right now. We went to SIL's for dinner tonight and I really did not eat that much, but I feel so full and gross. But I'm weirdly hungry too. I had to unbutton my pants for the drive home 😂

salmon2017 you look great - cute bump!

I think how early people show has a lot to do with your build - slim people like you and those who carry weight on hips/butt but have flatter stomachs seem to show (especially with the cute, obviously not just a pizza&beer belly, bump) sooner. I always have some belly flab and my hip bones and rib cage are pretty big to begin with and I think that's partly why it took forever to really look pregnant last time. This time blump is happening for sure now but definitely not photo-worthy yet.

I also have a theory from observations at work that people show earlier and higher/cuter bump when pregnant with a boy. Salmon supports part of that , though not so much the high part.

My birthday was yesterday. My friends want to help me celebrate by doing something this weekend but it'll mainly be me carting them around to bars so they can drink in my honor. I'll probably just stay home and tell them I'm not up to it.

DD has an ear infection again. This is the third one and seems to always happen when she cuts new teeth. She seems to like the antibiotics though, sucks it down then cries when the dropper is empty.

Happy belated birthday Flick!

Happy belated birthday @kristenflickk!

[Flick]

Officially annoyed. My midwife told me they were drawing extra blood for the panorama test so I called today to see if I can't get my case number so I could see my results online. They apparently never drew any extra blood or ordered the test so I have to go back today and get poked again.

First...happy belated birthday (I don't blame you for not wanting to DD your friends around to "celebrate" btw!)

Second...how annoying!!!

[RajahMD]

Guys. I am definitely showing. I know it's not weight gain, because I've actually lost over 5 pounds thanks to morning sickness diarrhea. And yet my spare tire is much larger than it used to be, and I can't suck it in at all anymore.

Plus some of my favorite yoga pants don't fit anymore. *insert sad trombone noise here*

I noticed a pair of yoga pants were very snug yesterday for the first time. Very sad.
Also...went to SIL's last night and first thing she said when I took off my coat was "OMG you have a bump!"...I fear how big I'm going to get.

LT for sympathy.

I'm already chunky. And I have a short torso. Meaning there's only one way to go- out. Ugg.

Ugg. That's frustrating.

And to echo PPs, happy belated birthday! DDing for your friends to drink in "your honor" sounds lame. Maybe a spa day instead, get a manicure/pedicure? Or just some really good food instead, if they insist on doing something and you are feeling up to it.

That is annoying!  Something similar happened to me last time.  They drew the blood, but called me a few hours later and said they drew it for the wrong test.  I had had such a long day already and I had to drive 30 minutes back so they could do it again.  It ended up being my third poke for that day because I had the (wrong) NIPT draw that morning, my regular OB check-up that afternoon where she drew blood to check my thyroid levels I think, then back for the second NIPT draw.  I was so done with that day.

Also, HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY!!!

[wells2010]

I would be so mad if I had to drive all the way back in to get stuck again! That's super frustrating.

I'm watching the today show since I took today off and my kids aren't home. I haven't watched it in months and it seems really bad now. I wish they would get rid of Kathie Lee and just put Jenna Bush Hager in with Hoda. KLG is such an annoying attention whore.

[wells2010]

I just realized I need to do fasting bloodwork tomorrow and I'm terrified that I'm going to wind up sick. If I don't eat right away when I wake up, it's not good. To make it worse, I need to do preK dropoff first. Eek!

[Flick]

Finally home and my arm is super sore. The midwife office couldn't get a good poke so they sent me to the lab to get poked. I have very small veins so they had to hunt down a needle that was small enough. I made sure to get my kit number this time.

Ugg. That sucks. I'm glad they were able to get the test ordered right this time. FXed for good results!

[laurenash323]

I think we need to start hdbd next week, for our baby bumps but also our other kiddos if anyone is interested. Everyone will have bumps soon if. It already! Mine is here for good now

[laurenash323]

And plus also, hdbd will be motivation for me to clean the bathroom hahahaha

[saltandvinegar]

I took my first bump pic today too. Nothing worthy of posting but it's definitely the start. I want to look back at the last go-around... I'm pretty sure this is what I looked like closer to 16/17 weeks last time.

[Flick]

The iPhone 7 plus camera is incredible! SIL just got one and took this picture of my DD for me. I'm so amazed.

Do you guys want a separate HDBD thread or include it in the weekly check ins?

I think we should do a separate one!

[luciddreamer]

I know I have a lot of time to make a decision, but I'm trying to figure out if we'll want to have a double stroller. DS will be a little over 2 1/2 when LO is born. He doesn't go in the stroller that often, but he might if he sees the new baby in it. Another option is to put the baby in the carrier, but it was nice to just transfer a sleeping baby still in the car seat into the stroller.

[leviosa]

I want a separate thread for HDBD!
