102 here, which is a nice break from earlier in the week when it was 113 and tornadoes started randomly dropping from the sky. I'm so sorry!! Sending cool, breezy thoughts your way.
what the hell is "feel real"? Is that like that heat index bullshit? Because that's what it is . . . Bullshit! Invented by The Weather Channel to make us all feel better about our collective whining about the heat.
I am not an old crank. Also, the kids are skateboarding on my lawn again!
Spent the day in L&D because I thought my water broke. It didn't. I need to stay busy for the next week until my ultrasound and possible induction on Thursday because the days are killing me. Too slow!
This baby is never coming. She is difficult, just like her momma. Karma is a bitch haha
Stupid town. Nothin. I'll do a little more creative searching later. I did find one crossfit place 1 mile from me that's attached to a regular gym with free child care and group classes like yoga too. Sounds too good to be true though.
Lying down with pretty bad menstrual like cramps and feeling nauseous as hell. Are these contractions? They're somewhat regular. I was expecting tightening like with BH with contractions but Google says no.
kaeguri time the cramps. Is your belly getting hard at all?
They last about 45 seconds and come about 14 minutes apart. Yeah, it's getting hard from about 3 inches above my bellybutton all over and all the way down. It's not the same tightening I get with BHs though. It's weiiirrrrddd.
They let me go home My urine was clean, but bp only came down a little. Baby looks great, is head down, and was really active, so that's good. The bad thing is my platelets are low,so my OB is concerned about HELLP. Doing a 24 urine catch, then following up with MFM and OB on Monday.
OB only figures we'd be looking at a one week NICU stay right now. But I'd have to deliver at a different hospital, about 45 minutes away, or baby and I would be seperated. I do not want to be apart from her.
I'm supposed to get lots of rest this weekend, which I'm perfectly ok with. Just going to finish up the nursery and make sure we have everything we need in case we have to deliver soon. FX baby girl gets to cook a little longer.

Contractions can feel very different than BH. When I went into labor with DD is didn't notice the hardening/tightening as much as it was the cramps that clued me in. I'd keep timing to see if they get more frequent, longer, or painful and then call in to see what you should do. How far along are you?

Hahaha yes I think it's the same thing. My weather app says it's 99 & feels like 109. The pool feels like a hot tub.

Eta: NM, I saw your ticker, 36 w 3 d.
Yeah I didn't notice the tightening til you asked me and I poked my belly to see. They seem to have stopped for now. This is gonna be fun. Dear god those cramps felt like first day of period want to curl up in a ball and die.
I remember back on TD when we were first getting to know each other that there were quite a few people that lived in the NorCal area. Specifically Sacramento metro area. Where are you guys delivering? If it's too weird and personal, I understand.
I'm delivering at one of the Mercy Medical Group hospitals.
THANK YOU for posting this -- DD is a month younger than yours, and we're going through the EXACT SAME THING. Diaper changes are again this speedy race to see how fast I can get all orifices covered before she's got something in there. Go away, dumb phase.
But you see with daughters this is a phase that will go away. My son, nope, he is going to be grabbing his penis randomly til the day he dies. Feel lucky!
Oh...I'm not sure about my DD ever growing out of it...she told me the other day it tickled when she touched herself. I'm not ready for this shit.
+ 1 on the bummer for no water slides. I don't live close to a watermark but our local pool has a pretty fun one that I could do with DD. No go. Sad face.
all the Carowinds talk bums me out too. My sister lives an hour north of it and we usually go for a day or two in the summer when we visit. Next summer right ladies? We took my dd to water park side when she was 1 and she had a blast just splashing.
I can't wait to take LO next year and take her on the tiny waterslides and kiddie rides. I always said I never understood why parents would bring infants to places like that, not like they can enjoy them or remember it. But now I can't wait to see her little face light up on all the little rides. Who cares if she remembers them? She'll be having fun at that moment and that's all that matters. #thingsInevergottilnow i'm going to die a little bit inside if she hates them. But both H and I and all of our parents love adrenaline fueled rides and heights, so it has to be in her blood. Right??!?! ::side-eyeing belly::
My dd is fearless. I can be hot and cold with rides but water slides are my fave. When dd was 2 we were at Carowinds and did the carousel. When we got off my sister who is not a rider (motion sickness) suggested DD and I try the snoopy balloon ride. She said it just goes in a circle. Well it did more than go in a circle. It went up and tilted to the side. I was caught off guard. My sister laughed at me when I got off because she said if looks could kill she would be dead. Apparently sister did not watch the whole ride through. However dd loved it and exclaimed again again. It was a week day and not busy so we were able to ride 3/4 times in a row.
Also about remembering, you will take pics. It will be conversation starters for the future. Actually one of my favorite pics of dd is from Carowinds and she is sitting and splashing in a fountain.

I've been having this for the past few days, but they're coming at random times with no pattern... still so annoying though, gahhh..hope you get some relief!

I do not look forward to having those cramps again! Eek, I hope they go away soon and you get some relief!
I am such an idiot today, I can't believe I waited so long yo check in. So much us happening, I am only on page two but I really need to go get some honey nut Cheerios. Now.
I did a u turn to save a turtle today, but it was a smart turtle and decided to wait until rush our was over. He/ she did a u turn as I watched with fear while cars drove over it.
Ok so I just caught up on all the randoms. Wow! To all the ones going through having babies/ about to be having babies/ might be having a baby pretty soon T&Ps to all of you!
We closed on our house yesterday! We have nicknamed the former owners the disgustingtons and the didn't clean at all for us! So we have spent all day yesterday and today cleaning house! We are about to go back to our rental, MH just needs to finish installing the new locks and cleaning the outside of the upstairs windows and we will be all ready to move in!
I have been having BH all the time from doing all this cleaning. At one point I was mopping our stairs and MH said if our Bradley instructor, MW, chiropractor, and my mom could see me they would all murder him for letting me do that. Even though I probably haven't been very kind to my body these last couple days, this cleaning has been great for my mental health! Now to go home and ice around my pelvis like a good pregnant lady.
It's weird. This happened to me last pregnancy and this pregnancy around 25 weeks. But I can (or could last week) still do workout classes. But walking around the store or on the treadmill. Nope. Makes zero sense.
+1 2 minutes of burpees, okay. Wednesday did 100 (broken up) of hanging knees-to-elbows with my arms in straps, no problem. Walking on treadmill at 2.5 = death.
Agree completely. Power cleans, yes. Burpees, a bit uncomfortable but yes. Rowing and biking... fine. Walking to my car... doubled over in a giant contraction.
I am back in l/d to drop off my buckets of urine and to be monitored for awhile. Had decreased fetal movement today, but of course he became active the moment they hooked me up. Little stinker just wants to scare me. Hoping for normal blood and urine results!
Wow. Thoughts and prayers for that little one and her mamma.
Edit spelling
I kinda wanna make friends with them. We'll both be here around the same amount of time I bet
When do they expect Ethan to come home? Also what are his stats??
My randoms. Had pedicure today. As of Monday my mw can deliver me. I know I'll probably be cooking lots longer but with all the contractions and feelings I've been having this makes me feel good. Now I'm going to go eat ice cream
I would be weirded out by the Crossfit thing if it weren't for my friend. She's super cautious and she's hooked on it, the class is really reputable. Small classes, all difficulty levels, and baby comes first there. I would imagine it could be really dangerous if not done correctly. I can't imagine myself being stoked about going, like she does. We shall see.

They are giving me the standard "plan for his due date" but they said he needs to be taking all his feeds orally and gaining weight. There's no way it's going to take him 5 weeks to do that. So I'm not really sure.
