I'm having some spotting now. I'm worried but trying to just ignore it. But this with the cramps yesterday and Thursday makes it hard not to be concerned.
Im sorry, that must be so stressful. Fwiw I cramped for pretty much my entire first trimester with DS. I have also heard spotting can be totally normal. I hope you get some reassurance soon.
I don't have his check up book with me, but i know he was 7 lb 7 oz at birth. He grew really quickly thereafter. (Which makes sense because he didn't STTN til 11 months. Kid ate around the clock!)
My son was small starting out (5lb 14oz and 18.5" at birth), and it took him a while to get the hang of BFing, so he was at the bottom of the charts for a while, but has been making up for it ever since he figured out this whole eating thing. He's still up at least 1-2 times to nurse MOTN at 13 months...
Yikes!! You need some sleep!
Found his stats 1 year 26 lb 3 oz 31 " 15 months 27 lb 9 oz 33"
I cannot move today. My whole body aches. This is why I hate exercising.
I had cramping last night that worried me, but it turns out I just had to poop. I wish the worry wasn't there and I could just sit back and relax through this pregnancy.
My parents are coming over today! My dad is helping MH put a clothesline up outside so I can sun my cloth diapers. My mom is going to play with C so I can clean the house. I'm ridiculously excited about this!
Morning ladies! Currently nursing my DD and hoping she self weans soon. She has zero desire to give it up, but I just want to have my boobs to myself for a bit, ha.
Looking forward to the pool and lunch for my nieces 18th bday today.

Reading yesterday's post made me think about how everyone who knows is also hoping and assuming this LO is the opposite gender than what we currently have (DS). And as much as I would love to have a girl, another boy will be fun too. I still feel like I'm gonna be a little sad if it's another boy 😐
We're going grocery shopping today. I'm going to buy some ginger ale and see if it helps me. I want to do something fun today but...we'll see how that goes.
daisylola11 I think I'm going to be a little sad either way. MH and I are on the fence between having 2 or 3 kids, and a big determining factor in that decision will be how the end of this pregnancy goes for me. I'd love for my son to have a brother, but if this baby is a boy and ends up being my last one, that means I'll never get to have a daughter.
This is me in reverse. Two daughters would be so amazing, but then I'll never have a son. But we definitely want to stop at two. Ugh.

daisylola11 and @amc25 I think those are totally normal feelings. I felt the same way with my last pregnancies and even still feel that way with this new baby. In the end we all know we will love what we have.
I am being sooo lazy. Had a great morning with the girls and Finley has been napping now for about 2 hours. I have been in and out of sleep while Alivia watches her tablet. Seems to becoming a trend. I need to break it soon.
I am craving steak and sushi. Here's hoping I can get at least one sometime today.
LT for the steak craving. I have had three this week! I mean, I have always loved steak, but this is a whole new level.
Good luck breaking the habit. Being pregnant with kids already is no joke. My son has had way too much tablet time this last week so I can nap with my daughter. Now that I know why I've been so exhausted I'm just gonna tell myself he's learning how to be independent, lol.

I feel like we are going to be OAD. DH is the only male for his line, so I'd love (another) little boy to carry on the family name. I also think I'd be a better boy mom. As long this baby is healthy, I will feel so lucky, boy or girl. But I picture us with a little boy so often, I wonder if there will be a moment of sadness if the baby is a girl before getting excited to have a daughter.
I actually had a pretty packed weekend of shopping, and lunches/dinners out. My H was at a bachelor party so I kept the house ridiculously cold and watched all the crappy tv I wanted.
I'm at the airport right now and my flight is over an hour delayed, and I'm getting hungry but it appears we are finally going to board! I'm drinking my $6 water and wondering why beer is cheaper, and wishing I was able to belly up to the bar.

I'm othe opposite. I have three girls and I would really love another. I know I would love a boy too but I've got this girl thing down.

Today we are just doing yard work, it's basically Saturday for me, and since dh works a 14 on 7 off schedule I have 5 more Saturday's in front of me. Woot!

I'm contemplating switching providers to a certified nurse midwife not affiliated with the hospital, and this town is so screwy I can't find hardly any information on any birth centers, even though I KNOW they exist here! So frustrating!!
I'm so hungry but I can't think of anything I actually want to eat. I also full on super market sweeped the grocery store today in an effort not to throw up in the middle of an aisle so who even knows what I got. The pregnancy struggle is so real
I walked into our small local grocery store this week and almost had to run back out. It was just an overwhelming smell of food. As much as I hate shopping at a big super-everything type place I may have to till the food smells and nausea subsided.
I loved watching Super Market Sweeps as a kid though! Guys Grocery Games is just similar enough on food network to keep me entertained.
kristhegirl your weekends sound remarkably similar to mine, with nothing on the to-do list getting done but having lots of fun! As for your search, if you have a Bradley instructor in the area, she might know where the midwives and birth centers are. DD and I went to visit my folks and just got back. We're *this close* to being potty trained so we had a big party when we got home out of the car and still had a dry diaper!
We finally have internet and TV back after 11 days without it, 3 tech appointments, a new modem, 1 engineering appointment, and countless phone calls to the support center.
This sounds so daunting and frustrating. Glad you are back up and running now!

Currently working up the ambition to clean my kitchen and bathroom. I think all we do is eat. We went out to lunch then took a little road trip to the harbor so DS could look at the boats. Then got mango water ice, so yummy!
