Thursday!! Its Thursday!

A mere 11 hours from now I will be driving away from the finest ghetto Jersey has to offer, back to my own home, for the last time!


Yahoo!!


In other news, I hit bronze reg without even realizing it.

More.

The best part of today was after my alarm went off, I shut that shit down! I now have no alarms on my phone.

Can't you just go ahead and feel what I want you to feel..... Jealous! (Said beautifully by the lovely Carrie Bradshaw).

Also, I updated my bookmarks, proboards. I feel like that message is everywhere, lol.

[indseylay]

Thuuursday! Looks like we're going to be getting a new camper soon, I am so excited. Next week is our last week of nothing to do, then swim lessons start for both boys and my oldest starts his mini camp, twice a week of 3.5hrs of him out of the house!
I am still freaking out and upset about my csection being on 8/31 and his first day of preschool being 9/3. I just have to beg that I have the first appointment and that they please let me out early.

[emejay]

We have a business meeting in another part of town this morning, so I'm taking the bus to the subway and then two subway to that place. Uuuuk. It's humid and I feel like my underwear are too smalls. I've put on 4 pounds between yesterday and today. Water retention much?

[sandlin15]

I actually got a good nights sleep for the first time in ages!!!! I just wish I could have stayed in bed longer.

I'm on my way to my 3hr so I'll probably be around quite a bit this morn.

DD feel in the bathtub last night and joy her head really hard. She wouldn't let me put her hair up this morning so I know it still hurts. I wish I could have stayed home this morning and cuddled her.

We are taking the entire staff out to eat tonight for our service week. I can't wait. Free Mexican food!!! Come on 5:30!

[evanda]

Just drank and then proceeded to throw up my drink for GD screening. Ugh! I don't want to this again! With DS I had to do the 3 hour one I'm hoping that doesn't happen this time around. I hate blood work and end up fainting most of the time. Stupid crappy veins. At least tomorrow is Friday and I have my 27/28 week appointment so I get to hear DD heartbeat again and get my last shot for a while!

[sdfonz619]

Water retention seems to be plaguing me as well but mostly in my feet. Yesterday I was scoring the inter webs to learn all I could about preeclampsia. Fortunately it didn't send me into panic mode, in fact, it did the opposite and reassured me that everything is perfectly normal.

Also, we have two family members and a friend who were told during a/s they were having girls only to be told recently they are actually having boys. MW and I decided to arrange an elective u/s to confirm since we were told there is an 85% chance we are having a girl. All I can think about now is why did we cut all of the tags off the clothes we've purchased so far?!

[welly01]

I threw up this morning. When I woke up, my stomach hurt like I was hungry so I drank some water. A few minutes later I coughed really hard and started gagging. Ended up throwing up all of the water I drank and some dry heaving. WTH!?? I hope it was just the coughing/being hungry that caused it and I'm not getting 3rd trimester morning sickness.

Also, I've apparently been keeping DH up at night with my grizzly bear snoring. He's spent the last three nights sleeping with DS in his twin size bed. I feel no guilt at all. His snoring keeps me up all. the. time.

[emejay]

Uhhh I'm stuck at this event and my colleague cancelled at the last.minute and my boss isn't showing up. So I'm here alone and everybody's in group. I know no one and I don't feel like mingling.

I miss my cubicule

[tsmith312]

I've been at work since 6:30 this morning trying to get my work done so I can leave early .. I had to take DD to the dr yesterday , she has strep throat.. Poor things been so fussy and clingy I know she doesn't feel good. That strep throats no joke ... I plan to jet out of work soon and spend the rest of the day with her !

[ugotstarbucked]

I'm just hanging out at Quest Diagnostics waiting for my GD test blood draw. Drank the dreaded orange drink (blech). Little girl was quiet for about 20 minutes than started having a dance party.

Work has been hell this week. I'm so grateful not to be in the office today. I have my 28 week checkup this morning and an appointment with my allergist this afternoon. Some work will be done from home between all the crazy. But at least I can wear shorts and flip flops all day.

[London]

Paging all tall girls- can I ask a random question about fundal measurements? Have any of you measured behind by a week or two on account of being taller/having a long torso? This was me yesterday, measuring closer to 24 weeks than to 26. My MW was not concerned given that I am a lanky person, which makes perfectly logical sense. Just curious if anyone else has had the same experience?

I will have a day like this next week (follow-up U/S, GD test, blood work, regular doctors appointment) and I am soooo looking forward to a day away from the office.

[xcrissx]

I'm spazzy about my blood pressure now. And every time I think about it, my heart starts racing, which isn't helping, I'm sure.
I was just thinking yesterday "I'm about how far my mom was when she delivered my sister" and now I'm sooooo worried I'm going to have to keep my pee in the fridge and then baby is going to be born at 30 weeks. Someone talk me down!

(Clearly, also, I really have no knowledge of pre-e)

[sandj918]

I have my GD test this afternoon which will be followed by the ever lovely Rhogam shot since I'm O- . After that I'll probably take a lovely nap before unpacking some more boxes.

I am not a tall girl but do have a long torso. Measuring +/- 2 weeks is still considered normal. Everyone carries a little different and has different shaped uteruses (uteri?).

[sandlin15]

I. Am. So. Hungry.

I'm still waiting in registration for my 3hr. Ugh. 3+ hrs until I can eat food!

What is it about not being able to eat that makes you ravenous?

[cowplanet]

London, I'm measuring 2 behind right now and I have a very short torso, but this seems about right to me, because they insist on using my LMP despite me knowing what day I ovulated and conceived (OPK, basal, baby dance). It only annoyed me before, but now I'm getting nervous that it'll be an issue once I pass 40 weeks. They won't induce before 41 unless medically necessary, but they cut you off at 42. That's when those 5 days can make a big difference. Plus, I'm "tiny" as everyone feels the need to inform me (DH only has an inch or two on me), so the nearly week difference in gestation + smaller genetics makes me nervous for getting tagged with fetal growth restriction and pushed to induce early. Obviously this is where my nervous pregnant lady energy is going.

I also had a very tilted uterus at the start (no idea what it's doing now), and I think that can affect the fundal measurement somewhat.

My random: Baby shower is starting to stress me out. There's one weekend in July that works for us, and I've now been told by those who offered to host that, really, they'd prefer August because they have better things to do. Um, August is cutting it close and we're already struggling with people inviting themselves over then. And apparently "I'll be 9 months pregnant and not really up to entertaining" falls on deaf ears. Do we seriously just lock the doors on my sibling and his fiance and tell them no, come back next summer?! I also asked for a Saturday shower and was told NO. And my husband requested that it be coed (make it a barbeque), because he's having a baby too (like our bridal wedding shower), and of course this is just sending the in-laws into a flutter. I'd rather have DH there, because being the center of attention sucks and I don't even like people watching me open Christmas presents! Plus, ANY time MH wants to be included on baby stuff is something to be welcomed, IMO.

At this point I'm about ready to host it ourselves, call it a cookout, and if his family can't make it, then tough cookies to them.

@dragonmommy422, good luck on your last day! I hope it goes smoothly and drama-free

Good luck to everyone who is having GD tests coming up!

AFM, DH is at a golf outing for work today. It is going to be humid and around 90 degrees so I feel really awful that I'll be wading in the pool all day

Tomorrow DH and I are going on a road trip to Ohio!!! I lived there for 6 years when I was in grad. school and we go back every few years to see friends that decided to live there. We also eat all the Ohio food we can I am a huge Cleveland sports fan, so I am hoping to pick up some Cavs gear (go King James!) for myself, DH, and Jacob.

[Deleted]

Grrr dammit. Nanny dad is home today. We have escaped to the park for a bit but it's so freaking hot.
8 more hours...

[soyloca]

I'm in Madrid and have no idea what day nor what time it is. Body clock = destroyed. Finally met our 5 month old nephew and he's to die for. DH is smitten.

Bring me back some Yuengling, will you? I'll need it for my my post delivery drink

[Florida0604]

I have been MIA for a few days - mu uncle died last week and we went to Ohio for the funeral. Back home and exhausted!!

In other news, while I was gone, my OB office called to schedule my C-section!! This little guy will be making his debut on 8.13.15! SJGR.

Packers came yesterday. Movers come today. We leave on Saturday. ACK.

I measured up to 3 weeks behind with DS and he was 9 pounds at a week early. I've heard the measurement isn't accurate. I am still barely showing at 27 almost 28 weeks because I have a long torso and carry low.

I read this and thought why was the football team at her house? Yeah, I'm already wishing it was fall. Anyway, hope the moving process goes smoothly.

[sandlin15]

I FINALLY got my sugar drink. After being here for almost an hour. This 3 hr test is quickly turning into a much longer test. And now I'm crabby at the lab techs.

I'd be pissed too. That is nonsense. Hope your test goes okay. I'm sitting here waiting for my GD education appointment.

Short person here- no one has measured the height of my fundus the whole pregnancy.

Yeah in an age of 3D ultrasounds, measuring my belly with a tape measure felt kind of archaic. Oh well!
