Thursday Chatter & UOs!?

[onesweetworld]

Now that we are a bit more active, UOs anyone?

[ladytiffany24]

I don't have any UO's yet today. We'll see if I can come up with something.

I have my 1 hour glucose test today. It's not until 11am so I'll be counting down the time until I can eat.

The phlebotomist told me to fast if possible so I'd have a better chance of passing.

[onesweetworld]

I'm in the drive thru of DD and I started to explain what happened yesterday and the voice on the other end was like "oh it's you!" Almost excited. (Yesterday I paid for double the breakfast sandwiches - so my food is free today)

[wannabmama]

I've gotten in a bad habit of working from my couch (instead of going to my office 5 mins away). I know I'm probably more productive there...but there are no puppies or Today show or fire. I promised myself after u/s today, I'd go back to office...but I just bargained with myself to make the change next Monday. It seems like a good idea to change routines on mondays...

I want a DD breakfast sandwich.
I also let myself get hash browns on days I need to get blood draws...now I crave them all the time.

I wasn't specifically told to, but I'm doing it because I'm paranoid that it will give me a better chance of passing. I don't always eat breakfast anyway so it's not completely out of the ordinary. But still kind sucks. Drinking lots of water though until I have to drink the stuff.

[thelittleredm]

Had sex last night. Uncomfortable? Yes. But at least I found a spot within a position that didn't hurt. But oh my goodness, I'm paying for it. Cramping, general pain, ick.

wannabmama, what time is your u/s? So excited for you - good luck!!

2:30...I go back and forth between wanting time to hurry up and being happy to live in blissful ignorance. I can't believe we've made it to this point!

Maybe this is an UO but I'd rather know definitely if I have GD or not than try to pass by fasting. My OB last made sure I knew to not fast, only stop carbs 4 hours prior, to get the most accurate result

I'll join in our your UO. While I really hope I don't get GD, I would rather know about it than not know.

[hpnegirl]

I will add that I totally understand why OSW wants to make sure she doesn't need to do the 3 hour. Fucking needles suck

It's going to be great. There will be 1, 2, or 3 little blobs of babies in there and it'll be the perfect number. You better update right after!

So when do we start making bets on how many are in there?

[marshian]

I need to get out of bed. It's my last day before starting at a client and my to-do list is long, but I just don't want to get up and walk the dog in 8° weather.

These are days I'm so happy we have a big yard for them to run around in...while I sit under a blanket by the fire!

I was this person until new puppy began running into woods and bringing in random animal poop/rolling in things.

Now my neighbors are used to seeing my gigantic belly hanging out of DHs t-shirts and my fleece pink polka dot pajama pants as I walk her around the cul-de-sac.

#klassy

Luckily mine are a bit older...still occasionally annoying, but much more interested in doing their business and getting back inside than getting into trouble.
(Though one of them occasionally attempts to catch critters...luckily only successfully twice.)

[PirateCat]

I really wish I had my own office or can put on big headphones and blast music at work. I am having such a hard time concentrating lately.

No UO, but now the everloving eff do you side-sleepers do it?

I was a belly sleeper but now on my side I seem to compress my arm, which then falls asleep and I wake up in pain with a dead arm/hand/fingers from lack of circulation. My upper arms are always sore as well because of this.

Someone teach me how to sleep, kthanks.

Ps: I have a body pillow

I'm normally a belly/side sleeper so I'm not completely on my belly but more than now. I keep my Snoogle curled around my back and use a different pillow as a wedge for my belly. It lets me lay more in my normal position with less pain and my arms don't die on me during the night as often and they're definitely not as sore. I find I have more issues with my wrists than with my arms, though, and the wrist weirdness happens regardless of my body's position so there you go.

[thelittleredm]

Brought on by @wineandcupcakes post in the randoms thread from...yesterday, I think..., is it a UO that I love Oing in my dreams? I get really upset when I don't get that far and wake up super frustrated.

[hpnegirl]

thelittleredm does your wrist issue pursue all day?

Pregnancy carpel tunnel is a real thing... it also sucks major ass

Yeah. If I hold it in certain positions, it won't be weird but if I have it bent it will start to hurt/feel really really heavy. It's more like that heavy feeling that happens before some body part decides to go numb/fall asleep. It's obnoxious more than painful. It doesn't bother me while I type, which is nice.

I'm a stomach sleeper too. I have two ways of side sleeping now because I was having trouble with my arms falling asleep as well. One way is I hug a pillow to my chest. It keeps my arms pulled out far enough from my body that I'm not laying on them. Remember to pull your shoulder out too. Don't lay on it. The other way I've found to almost mimic stomach sleeping is to put two pillows in the middle of the bed (stacked) and kind of drape myself over it. The pillows make it cushy enough that I don't feel like too much pressure is on my belly but I'm also not fully on my side. If I do this tho I try to reach my bottom arm up over my head so I'm not laying on it.

DH kindly tolerates my many pillow arrangements.

[hpnegirl]

I'm secretly hoping my boss finds work for me to do. I hate twiddling my thumbs and not having much work to do. He's about to go on a 6 work day vacation so it would make next week super boring if he doesn't find things.

Everyone else has mountains of work because it's a giant backlog for them but I've kept current on mine.

They may have all called me a show off here and there for being productive...

[thelittleredm]

hpnegirl, I'm the same way. I don't mind some downtime to just relax a little but I get so bored and then I bitch. Mostly in my head but sometimes out loud.
