I totally passed my glucose test! The nurse told me I was going to fail and I totally passed! Yay! I failed it with my last pregnancy so as a side note to everybody, just cause you get it once doesn't mean you'll get it again.
My sister just said my invites for the shower went out today! YAY. I feel like it's still a dream that this is happening.
Then she told me I had to add more crap to my registry. I have a ton of big ticket items H and I want to buy ourselves. But I've been struggling to add affordable things for guests. I don't want to just add random crap. Our house is too small for that! Plus people just buy what they want anyway!
I went to Panera for lunch because you triggered a craving. I specified that I wanted a French baguette with my soup, and the guy even asked if I wanted butter! They've never asked me that before. Mmm baguette with butter.
I get back to work and instead they gave me a bag of chips Kettle chips dipped in soup are not the same as a French baguette with butter dipped in soup.
I now blame you for rubbing your shitty Panera experience off onto me! Damn them
So. I was just talking to one of my coworkers about a broken machine and how "the pregnant lady was going to cry". He looked at me with complete surprise and said, "I didn't know! Congrats!" WTF. You guys have seen my HDBD pics!! I just started laughing because it was so ridiculous and said, "What? Did you think I was just fat?" At which point he looked very uncomfortable and kind of hemmed and hawed. Seriously, WTF! Good to know I look fat, not pregnant.

Aw don't feel bad; men are notorious for not noticing this stuff. He probably never took a second thought as to what you looked like at all, and he was embarrassed to admit it. When I got pregnant every woman I worked with knew like in the first week because they were all busybodies and sniffed me out through my behavior, but almost every man I told was like "WOW CONGRATS I HAD NO IDEA!"

So I didn't register an account until today because I was too lazy to try and figure it out. Today at lunchtime, however, I missed all of my bitter snatches so here I am . I hope all of you ladies are doing well.
Went to Jimmy Johns to get the BLT I've been craving, and my car battery died. I've been telling SO there was a problem with the battery for two weeks, and he didn't listen. Damn car.
I don't know where to post this or who to ask... but hopefully someone can answer. How much vaginal pressure/pain is normal at this point? I don't want to call the nurse line yet because they ALWAYS tell me to just go to the ER.
How long have you had the pressure? How far along are you?
I've had one day, about 12 hours, where it felt like the baby was about to fall out. There was no pain. Then the baby switched positions and the pressure went away. Do you feel like the baby can change positions easily still? Maybe see if you can encourage a change? If there's any pain, I would call the doctor today.

You read my mind. I never felt that until yesterday!
This poor kid I keep seeing today is a pants sagger. No one really does that anymore in Nashville but then again we are somewhere between redneck hillbilly and fashion forward.... So you never know what you're gonna get.
Starbuck128 I hope both of you feel better and happy birthday to your DS!!
My random: SO said "I love how your body hasn't changed, besides the belly of course. Your legs and arms haven't gained any weight. You can only tell by your face"
Thanks babe.... Thanks.
Half of me is like awww, that was sweet, then the other is like WTF? haha. I am sure he was trying to be sweet.
Me on the other hand, my thighs are rubbing together and my ass has gotten bigger which I thought was pretty impossible. I carry my weight in my ba-donk-a-donk.
Ugh at my appt today I got told I have gained 27 lbs so far (I'm 27w2d). I am having such a hard time not shaming myself. We eat healthy and I walk with my dog every day. I can't think of anything I could be doing differently...
I feel lame for complaining about this. Because I do know every pregnant body is different and maybe this is just how I do pregnant me.
My 3 - hour Glucose test is next Friday at 7:45am. Told my boss I wasn't sure if I would be coming in because I get hangry and after 15 hours of not eating, I will probably be quite moody She said to let her know what the plan is that day. First time I am ever dreading a Friday.
I did mine today, same time actually, and I got out of there around 11/11:15. I took some time, went to get lunch and relax nearby, got to work about 12:30 and worked till 5. I've been very low energy and was a little shaky all afternoon, but I haven't been feeling great in general (very slow recovery from a bad cold and BP issues) and am not great with needles. The only reason I went in is I get paid hourly, didn't want to lose the income, and didn't want to use any PTO. If you can take the afternoon off, I would recommend it, just to rest and chill out afterwards. It wasn't terrible, but wasn't great either.

Hahahaha! I know. I was like I don't know if I should thank you right now... or smack you. But I just ignored it because men are clueless with these things.

Did they give you a range? My doctor told me it was 8-14 hours fast and then test time. I also took water and wasn't as hungry as I thought I would be after. Gl!

Try try try and not be hard on yourself. My boss was just telling me this today. She was in the best shape of her life training for a marathon and gained 10lbs her first tri and then a about 50 overall. She said she was running every day and is a great eater. Sometimes your body is just crazy. Keep being healthy and hopefully your doctor will say that's enough.

I've gained 22lbs so not that far behind you. Also if you were smaller to begin with pre pregnancy your body may have needed the extra weight gain for be pregnancy. That's what I'm telling myself I was at like 19% body fat before I got pregnant and that's on the low spectrum of the normal range so I'm telling myself that body needed the extra weight.
I hate that I missed so much not being around the last couple days. Phooey.
I also have not been able to un-clutch my pearls after seeing a fb friend post that "for those that want to know" they are registered at three different places, with a monstrous explanatory paragraph. Guess I don't fall into the "wants to know" categorie so I'll just keep my mouth (keyboard?) silent. But seriously, if people want to know, they will ask.

A "friend" of mine did that for her second child. She posted the link and then a few weeks later posted it again with an announcement to everybody about how gift cards are great too so they can buy their big ticket items. Then she posted a fb invite to their baby shower saying "all are welcome!" I check her registry from time to time (it is larger than mine) just to see if anyone has bought anything. I feel bad for that but I can't help it!
