Morning ladies! Add me to the crummy sleep club as well. It's just getting so uncomfortable as this belly is growing to the max. And this pregnancy induced CTS is getting really uncomfortable. About to head out to pick up a sleep hand/wrist brace - hopefully it'll ease some discomfort. Other than that just working on some home chores and hope to finish packing my go bag today as well.
Hope you ladies have a fabulous Monday and try to stay cool and hydrated - I'm so over this heat and it's only July! (Hope your a/c gets fixed soon dc2london!)
youdontsay I would exchange. You only need so much clothing in one size
I was sorting through clothes this weekend and I have SO MANY 3 month clothes. Like I could do three outfit changes a day and still have clothes left over!
This is partly my fault because the minute someone asks if I want their hand me down baby clothes I automatically tell them yes! I think I have 3 new 3 month clothes
I returned a good amount of clothing this weekend and used the store credit to buy things I actually needed or wanted. I'm also in the boat of having way too much stuff in the smaller sizes. Lots of people have not given me gift receipts so I haven't been able to return as much as I'd like. Also people bought from a variety of stores and I was not about to go to 5 stores returning things (I'm lazy). I figure I'll consign stuff if baby #2 ends up being a boy.
Me (30) MH (32) Dx: MFI (low all the things) M. 10/11. TTC Since 01/14 IUI#1-3(Letrozole + Trigger) = BFN Second Opinion. Changed RE's. IVF 09/15 Long Lupron 12R/9M/8F, Transferred 1=BFN. 4 frosties. FET #1 12/15 Transferred 1 (3 still on ice)
Your having a rough day. I say don't worry about the things around the house and enjoy a day with your boys. Do as much as you can with them, it will be a special memorize before sister gets here.

My house is a disaster, but I'm trying to focus on the toddler. I am starting to get really emotional about uprooting his little life. So we went to town this morning for a walk. We walked the beach, played at the park and went down the main road window shopping. I'm now exhausted, so I'm not sure how much more cleaning will happen this afternoon. Need to make lunch and convince DS that a nap is happening today

My Dr appt today was with my favorite midwife at the practice so I finally opened up about my depression and got a script for Zoloft. Hopefully it helps.
Also, hubby and I started Whole30 on July 1st. I'm still eating tons of calories, just much much healthier ones. This kid was making me crave alllllll the soda and chocolate. Well, I dropped 5lbs since my last appointment two weeks ago 😮 no real surprise that all the crap I was eating wasn't doing me much good.

dc2london hope you can get your AC fixed! & oh no that's sad about YHs employee
penny2103 yay for new work at home position! @countrycotton Sorry for feeling sick yesterday but yay for extra sleep! The sun/heat does the same thing to me too
sadpanda I need to clean too but your day sounds much better!
My 30th birthday was Saturday so we went up to a lake in the mountains and rented a kayak for a few hours. I had wanted to hike after that but I'm glad we decided not to, it would have been too much. It's a little frustrating being so much more limited than normal, but I still had fun. And DH made me the low-carb lemon bars hannahbear posted so I got to have a fun treat.
My last growth scan is Friday, and we're supposed to finally discuss labor and delivery options. I'm a little worried it will turn into a big argument between me and the doctor over various interventions. I want them to do what needs to be done to keep the baby safe, but I feel like they sometimes do things that because it's easier or standard policy.
Like when I went in to get checked out my blood sugar was slightly low they insisted that I had to have a whole 8 oz of juice because it's hospital policy. I was finally able to talk them down to half that amount and it was still probably more than I needed.
So I feel like I'm going into this from a place of distrust which is not good. DH will be there which will hopefully help, but I know I need to approach my concerns in a way that is less adversarial than I currently feel.

pttomato 8 oz of juice??? Are they crazy?? Sheesh!!
I'm sorry you feel distrustful - I totally get what you mean. I really hope that you can have a productive conversation and that YOU can make the decisions you need to keep you and baby safe. Hugs!

Yeah, I was 65 and I guess they consider below 70 to be hypoglycemia. It seems crazy to me that would be the standard, but I know doctors are really afraid of lows.

pttomato that really stinks that you don't feel like you're being heard. One thing I found really helpful before my VBAC attempt was to review the ACOG guidelines they had just put out (in 2014) for avoiding a primary c-section. First it helped me feel like ACOG, at least, was trying to avoid unnecessary c-sections. Second it made me feel fantastic when my OB literally did all of the things to avoid an emergency c-section from the document.
The only good thing about needing to be on Diclegis (slow release Unisom + B6) at this phase is the fantastic sleep. I wake up to pee but then I am out right afterward.
It's been a trying day. DD1 was scared at swim because they were in the deep end but instead of speaking up she acted way out all class. Gah! I was chasing DD2 around in the 90 degree heat. Not. Fun. I'm not sure it is supposed to drop below mid-90s until DD3 gets here.
Just got a message my new pump is on the way. I feel a little bad because I still have my two from DD and will get another through work (they have a lactation program, but don't send you the pump till 2 weeks before going back to work- umm not helpful). This company let me get a spectra, which I wanted to try since I never loved the PISA. Hopefully I can at least recycle them when I'm all done.

The peri's office just called to tell me our regular doctor won't be able to see us on Wednesday for our final growth check. They switched us to another doctor. Cue tears.
Also, hot tip: if you try to "run errands" at 34 weeks+ in 100 degree heat with a toddler in tow, you will come home with the following: one picture frame, a ton of fruit, a Thomas puzzle that you normally would have said no to but didn't have the energy to argue, and a Starbucks green tea lemonade. Obviously none of that was on my meticulously crafted list. This is why the good lord created Amazon Prime.

So I'm still nervous about my own blood sugar stuff. This time when I called they said I should come in for an NST. If it turns out to be nothing - well, that just means I don't have to go tomorrow. I can't shake this feeling that things may have changed. Better safe than sorry, right?
My final bill for my prenatal care and delivery has been totaled up. $56k. I mean I'm not paying that but still. I can't wait to see what the nicu bill will be...

I'm a big believer in better safe than sorry. Hopefully it's nothing, and you will leave feeling slightly silly but very reassured. If it is something, you will be very glad you went in. A win-win situation in my opinion.
