C is playing in his room so im laying in bed watching the monitor. My pelvis is really sore today because I had such a busy day yesterday. My mom and brother will be here tomorrow afternoon so I have some cleaning up to do. I think I will just take it easy and do what I can today and finish what I couldnt tomorrow. My mom always tells me to leave the dishes and vacuuming for her so for once I may actually take the offer. My dad will be back in our basement for the winter on Saturday. Luckily he stayed up north almost entirely since May so I havent had to see much of him. Its going to be a lonnnnng winter but I will play nice as much as possible just to get through it.
Next summer my mom is going to be "buying him out" so he can GTFO and she can move in. Itll be great because she will actually pay us rent each month, I can trust her to watch my toddler, she is really handy so we can get projects done, and she's awesome. He is/does none of those things. Cant. Freaking. Wait.

obi, I'm glad the arrangement with your mom will be better for everyone.
I think baby changed positions because yesterday my belly suddenly felt very heavy. I may have also been having braxton hicks??? Simmer down in there. I need to be better about staying hydrated.

I feel like I have hardly been at work this week and feel slightly guilty. I had a dentist appointment Tuesday, I was out for DS's appointment and QT with him yesterday, and today I have to leave for my shot at 2. I'll be out most, if not all, of tomorrow taking my mom to her colonoscopy. Its weeks like this that confirm I would not survive working for anyone but myself.
I'm in Court. Super tired. I had these horrible cramps in the middle of the night last night. (I think I needed to go to the bathroom, but to be honest, I'm a little worried. I haven't felt the baby this AM.) Regardless, I didn't sleep well. They are gone.
I also have been getting these short of short shocking pains near where I imagine my cervix is. What is that?! I hate them! I would say they hurt, but they make me jump.
In good news, I am loving my outfit today. I am going on trial twice in the next 4 months, so I have been buying some higher end work wear. It fits much better, and I feel a lot less sloppy!

Gooooood morning. So happy that it's almost Friday! Mostly because I only have to come into the office 2 days next week. Tuesday is our big work Thanksgiving feast and then I'm "working from home" (in quotations for a reason) on Wednesday and am off Thursday and Friday. Can't wait!
Although, I should add...I'll be doing hardcore potty training with my 2 year old starting on Friday so I guess I shouldn't be TOO excited.
Motherhood Maternity has BOGO 50% off so I am going to fibally get some tops. None of the tops from my last pregnancy seem to fit me and the pants are so stretched out. I wanted to get by with what Ive got but at only 24wks and my belly is already hanging out... i need to do some shopping.
$113 feels like a lot for 2 tanks, a long sleeve shirt and a nice sweater. I know its not, but blah. I hate spending money on clothes. It feels like a luxury but obviously its not when my current clothes are not containing all of me from flopping out.

Do you use Ebates? They usually offer 2% cash back on purchases. It helps it not hurt so bad when I purchase maternity clothes online.

I'm back in the office today. Travel was not kind to my ligaments/muscles. My lower back aches, my tailbone hurts, and then I've got some ligament pains along the sides of my belly and near my hips/pelvis. I wound up having a 2 hour drive home from the airport last night (it should take about 45 minutes), which probably didn't help after flying all day.

Eep! Why do these things have to be so expensive!? I keep putting off maternity clothes shopping because I'm feeling guilty about having to spend money on things I'm only going to wear for a few months.
Its definite sticker shock. I cant believe how expensive pants are especially! Shirts can at least get worn fairly easily post pregnancy but maternity pants eventually dont work.

Oh good suggestion! Thanks! I normally just shop amazon so i totally forget to check ebates on the rare occassion I shop from actual store websites.
As I am definitely going to be sitting around in a hospital room so soon, I'm trying to hold off on buying any more maternity clothes. None of the pants I have are even relatively comfortable, so I guess I'll be switching between dresses until then?
I did find some maternity pajama pants and a top on Zulily on Tuesday though, so yay for not hanging out in a hospital gown... at least I hope they don't make me >.>
Another MFM appointment today. This little boy does not want his picture taken. In the only one she could get his face in, he has his arm over his face and is peeking across it. We did get a hilarious picture of his hand in a pointing look. My dh plans on posting that to his FB with a link to the Psy song "Daddy". hahahaha
I guess shots are in my future soon. o.O I keep downplaying this condition in my mind because I truely believe it will be okay. This week, I have to do the glucose screening.. in three weeks, I get the first round of steroid shots.
I am in so much pain. The pregnancy pillow isn't doing shit for my back and hips
I actually had to ditch my big pillow (granted, it was just a king-sized pillow, not pregnancy-specific) and just use a regular one for support at night. Big pillow was making my back pain worse.

Just got my shot for the week. Turns out I'm supposed to be alternating ass cheeks instead of getting them all in my right to prevent scar tissue build up, which explains the small knot I felt last Friday night. Getting them in the same cheek every time could cause irritation, which explains the itching. Getting them on my left side, which I did for the 3rd shot, could very well irritate my sciatic nerve since the injection site could swell and cause pressure, which explains a whole hell of a lot.
This last week, I've been nervous about 3rd tri. I guess I expected to feel GREAT til at least 30 weeks. I'm not even 22 weeks yet, and things are getting uncomfortable and awkward. 😕I really can't imagine how it will be when this baby is so much bigger.

Love ebates!!! I just got two tops for holiday parties from motherhood maternity. I hate spending money on clothes, but at least there was the bogo deal and I added a 7.99 "mommy hook" to avoid the 6 shipping fee...
Several people at work today told me "wow you are walking mighty slowly today!"
Maybe I am just hyper sensitive since I can't walk without a waddle/limp anymore at all, but that just feels rude to say to a pregnant person who is not blocking your pathway.
