DH says it looks like baby dropped already. I feel the same.
Mine is still rising lol but oh man!
Eta: also when do babies drop usually?
Whenever they want. My first never dropped. This one's pretty high, too - fundus measured five weeks ahead at my last appt! (I'd just had a growth scan and baby is right on track. Just a high/huge belleh.)
Some people carry really low the whole time and still experience a drop. I think subsequent pregnancies are more likely to have a drop but when it happens varies.
I wanna play in the snow! ~looks out hospital window at the 68 degree weather~ As if that could happen even if I wasn't stuck in a hospital already!
So.. things are going fine. My MFM's counterpart (they just have the two of them in their practice) stopped in the morning and completely murdered all hope of getting to 37 weeks. "Not going to happen" were his exact words. I trust them, so I'm not upset, more amused by he and his partner's difference in approach to me. He even said that there was a study that came out in the last few weeks where they were starting to wonder if 34 weeks was better than 36. Umm.. NO please. Not only would that put me 1-1/2 weeks from having this little one.. but that would give him his twin sisters' birthday as well ~facepalm~
So.. I'm guessing I'll be the first of us with a tiny on February 1st?
Past that having to haul cords from the two monitors I am always hooked up to with me to the bathroom is a bit annoying.. I've been given homework of light physical therapy by both doctors.. and umm.. hospital cable sucks so thank goodness for Netflix?
Positive.. my dh is finally talking names! Woohoo
Sorry for the lack of posts.. I'm reading everyones, but I often refrain if I'm in a not so positive frame of mind. You guys are all doing so amazing and I do not want to bring that down
As we were leaving McDonald's for lunch, one lady at the next table noticed my belly and told her friend that I have a bun in the oven. The friend turned to look at me as I shuffled around their table to the door and said I looked like I am due soon.... I stopped turned around and said I wasn't due til March. They asked if I was sure, so I told them the due date. I got multiple god bless you honey, and multiple god bless that baby.
I think it's because I am carrying right out front, but now I'm worrying that she's gonna be huge bc my mom also commented last week on how big I am. Dr said fundal height was wonderful this week though. Growth scan is on Feb 1st, So still almost a month away.
Every one of us carries differently One way or another, it'll be perfect for you My husband keeps teasing me about a 10lb baby at 36 weeks.
Before you worry too much, I think my twins did so amazing because they were both 2lbs at 26w3d. Big is scary, but our bodies do amazing things!
I've been posting bump pics to Instagram, my safe little haven online. Today I just posted my 3rd tri pic on facebook - it's the first time I posted anything pregnancy related.

I think we'd all agree you can bitch and vent whenever you want and you won't annoy us or drag us down - that's what this community is for!
Glad you're settled in and that H is talking names!
. sorry they made you feel insecure or unsure about your size - Fwiw I compared my 24 week to my 28 week and I look smaller now... I think baby must have re-positioned lower or something because I look more sloped and less like a big ball attached to my waist lol. So, I'm sure you and baby are completely normal - you might be carrying higher or something.

I didn't drop with my son. But I'm looking at a side by side picture and I think there's been some shifting.
Hi everyone, I need to get better at checking in here! I forget for days at a time then I don't have time when I remember. Life with a toddler is freaking exhausting/sometimes makes me really miss the child-free days (does that make me a bad mom?).
DD has had a fever of 103-105+ for the last 3 days We've made it 17 months with nothing worse than a cold (not even a diaper rash, allergy, ear infection, etc) *knock on wood*, so this has been especially stressful for me. Dr said ears, heart, lungs, urine, all look good..so we just try to keep her comfortable and wait for it to end. Today seemed to be much better, after 2 terrible nights of almost no sleep. Watching her curled up in a ball moaning while waiting for the Tylenol to kick in was heartbreaking. Fingers crossed she wakes up tomorrow a brand new, happy toddler.
We made the decision to try DD in a full sized bed w/ guard rails instead of her toddler bed, b/c we have a spare mattress and could use her mattress for baby #2. So we returned the 2nd crib mattress I bought (yay, saving $!) and DD1's new bedding should arrive tomorrow. We'll see how this goes!
Oh, and I don't have diabetes! I forgot I even took the test until I happened to check my online account and saw the results. So yay! Can't believe 3rd trimester is here and the end is near (I'm terrified).

I'll sit with you on the terrified bench. DS will be 3 shortly after baby is born. He seems excited now but...who knows.
erinshelley21 I'm weird and have never put syrup on my French toast. A little bit of butter and some regular sugar sprinkles on top. French toast is my favorite breakfast food.
...............wut?

I haven't had sex since November, but I've given a few BJs. The last time I had sex, my hips and pelvis hated me for weeks afterward, more than usual. Like I could barely even walk. I don't think I can handle it again unfortunately.
BJs for lyfe until like 8-10 weeks post partum
Youre a better wife than I. BJs make my jaw hurt so my H is SOL. Not sorreeeeee. I mean, he usually gets an annual drunken BJ so Im not all that bad.
missi you are inspiring and your optimism is infectious. Please post here when you aren't in a good headspace if you feel it will help. I have been VERY up and down emotionally this pregnancy and it is, aside from my pre existing condition, a relatively normal pregnancy. It has been so helpful to vent here and I so appreciate the rest of the ladies for listening, hair patting and offering advice and kind words. I certainly dont post every bad feeling, and I do my share of avoiding posting on my bad days, but if and when you need us we are here! Please keep that in mind, dear friend.

I know right? I'll put syrup on waffles and pancakes, but not on french toast. I think I started this way back when bc my BFF when I was little and her family did this. My one sister will do butter and powdered sugar, but I need the regular sugar. My other sister and brother use syrup like regular people.
I feel like this goes against my religion or something. Unless you are talking about mrs butterworths then that can go right in the trash. Gotta be real maple syrup ommm nom nom. I think pancakes are happening here tomorrow because of this.
If any Bj masters can tell me how to stop my jaw from cramping up my H would be eternally grateful. It just feels so unsexy to stop part way through to go "ohhhwwww" and rub my cheeks lol. Not exactly relationship advice you can call up your momma for kwim?

All of this syrup talk is making me want waffles with a load of alaga.

When my jaw cramps up, I usually just stay at the head of the dick and use my hand coated in saliva while my mouth remains in place and recuperates. It's not pretty but it gets the job done. And then if my jaw feels better after a minute of -hand job with dick in mouth- I can start going to town full mouth again and usually the renewed mouth motion makes things happen faster if they haven't already.
