I'm so glad this week is over. I have a feeling I'll be saying that from now until the end of February when I'm hoping to be done with my busy work season.
My heartburn has been replaced my leg cramps. I had 2 last night. I've been eating a banana everyday, which in turn has given me trouble pooping. I seriously can't win this vicious cycle.
MH comes home today! He lands at like 12AM but still! Only 7 more off routine days for the month! Also, it's getting be a lot to lug my laptop back and forth. I am only 28w3d it's just going to get worse; sigh
I'm happy for Friday, but feeling like this weekend is going to be pretty busy and not very restful.
I think my sleep issues have reached insomnia levels. I feel tired most of the evening, but when I get into bed I'm not sleepy. Eventually I do fall asleep, but I wake up in the middle of the night and am wide awake. Sometimes I can fall back asleep if I pee, read a bit, and do some relaxation techniques. Sometimes I can't. This sucks.

I'm feeling ragey today. 1. DS took 20 minutes to poop. This happened because when I tell MIL and SFIL (mostly SFIL since he is the main childcare right now since MIL had foot surgery) that DS has to drink all of his juice (which has miralax in it) they can't put 2 and 2 together that he should drink ALL of his juice before they give him any other drink. Today I spelled it out for them. SFIL followed up with "have you ever tried soap?" The recommendation he and his wife got when their kids were little(which was 35 years ago) were to shove a sliver of soap up their ass as a suppository. No I have no tried soap and I'm not going too. I'm going to go with the advice of the pediatric GI specialist and just use miralax. 2. DH is in for a rude awakening when this baby gets here. He is zero help in the mornings when he is home, which is usually fine until its not. Like today when DS declares at 8:15 that he has to poop and I like to leave for work at 8:20. DS said he wanted me, so DH took that as he could just get back in bed. It wasn't until I pointed out at 8:35 that I was going to have to work more today than I planned on since I'm getting in so late, which is going to suck because I know I am going to feel like shit after my glucose test. It was then that he offered to take DS to MILs. Why would I have you do that when the poop delay is just about over and we are ready to leave? That offer would have meant a little more 20 minutes ago.
My turn to get sick, so we're now 3/3 as DS and DH still aren't better. No sick days moping on the couch for me though because toddlers don't care if you can barely speak, they want you to read 20 books in a row and chase them away from the Christmas tree (I can't wait to take it down tomorrow, DS was great before Christmas and at everyone else's house but since we got back he's determined to destroy ours)
I'm just sleepy this morning. Knock on wood, but I am still sleeping well, but I'm due at the end of the month so maybe pregsomnia is right around the corner. 😐I am so busy at work today. I have Court an hour from my house, and then have to drive 1.5 hours downtown in 1 hr to get to a 3-4 hr dep. Luckily, it's Friday, and I will sleep in tomorrow!

this is exactly what has been happening to me. I talked to my OB yesterday and she prescribed vistaril. I slept much better last night (it's still not a super great sleep), but I feel somewhat rested.
erinshelley21 - sorry about the leg cramps and the unhelpful H. My H is going to be in for a rude awakening too once these babies are here. he is a little too use to only having to worry about himself in the mornings.
I slept last night! it's was a great pre-preg sleep but it's the best sleep I've had in a while. I was pretty groggy this morning (and I took the pill at 8pm last night). I think I might take it earlier, like 7pm or 7:30pm tonight. the caffeine is helping clear my head.
We were up at 5 cuz toddler. I was mad since DH said he'd get up w DS since he has the day off but he didn't soooo I ate a delicious bagel w tons of cream cheese.
We have a walk and play later I hope DS isn't terribly tired for.
So I have found that a little walking has helped my pelvis hurt a little less... I thought it would hurt more, I am slow and I have to wear my support belt but it's something.

callmeKD it's going to be interesting once dd is here. He's doing a lot of the heavy lifting right now so I feel bad bringing it up to him but I know in a sleep deprived state (which is what I'm already in between my bladder, ds and the dog) it's going to have the potential to be ugly.

MH and I are headed to Chicago this evening! We got a nice hotel for cheap on priceline and should get there around 7 tonight. I'm most excited about going to Ikea tomorrow, though! We're actually going to buy stuff. Hopefully after this trip I can get my house put together and actually feel more prepared for this baby!

At my glucose test. They won't let me run upstairs to my ob's office to tell them I did my shot last night so now I have to call when I'm done. Shockingly a phone call takes longer than it would take for me to just go upstairs and tell them. A nice couple reeking of smoke just sat down next to me.
Whyyyy is all of this happening today?
Things could be so much worse so I feel like an ass for complaining but holy shit.
I woke up like 6 times last night because of needing to pee and discomfort, and one of the times, H had his leg on top of mine and it made my pelvis feel like it wanted to die. I am so uncomfortable all the time and I still have so long to go. Thinking happy thoughts here....
If someone walked into my cube today, they would probably think something was wrong with me. I've been massaging my face all morning to try and keep things moving with the sinus infection. It seems to be helping, but has got to look weird.
corinne - GL with the antibiotics. I got mine started yesterday and I'm hoping they kick what I've got going on. Also, naming humans is hard.
daisylola11 - I didn't know about the calcium with leg cramps. Perhaps my daily regimen of Tums is helping more than just the heartburn.
30 weeks today! Just got out of my 30 week OB checkup and apparently my belly is currently measuring 33 weeks. 😳 No wonder I'm feeling bigger than I did at this point in my last pregnancy!
My regular OB has been on vacation the past couple of weeks, so I saw yet another doctor for my appointment today. Yeah... I'm not really a fan of the guy I saw today. He said my last bile acid test came back normal (which it technically did), but then tried to write off my itching getting worse as a normal pregnancy thing. Um, no. Sorry dude, but even though you think it's "overkill" to retest again, once you've had ICP in one pregnancy it's the recommended protocol to test bile acids every 2 weeks during 3rd trimester, especially when experiencing symptoms. It's not that hard to click a few buttons on your computer to order the damn tests. Oh well... thankfully I've educated myself enough to be able to advocate for the proper care and am willing to be a bit of a bitch to make sure it happens!

Can you try a warm/hot compress? I know it might be tough to find a washcloth or similar at work, though.

Total reading fail - I thought you meant the end of THIS month and had quite a long moment of whaaa? How?! I'm super good at this right now, I should take the SATs for fun or something.
