I just got what I think was my first braxton hicks and oh my giddy little ant! Is that what a contraction feels like?! Like your uterus is solid and spasaming and being pulled and twisted and ripped from your body? I changed my answer from the birth plan thread the other day - I want the drugs. ALL the drugs from the very start. Ouch. It's been about an hour and it's still tender when I go from sitting to laying or standing.
I am not looking forward to the GTT. I'm already hypoglycemic (and have been my entire life), so I'm pretty much set up to fail. Ugh.
My bitch: I went to make flatbreads for dinner - I buy the FlatOut flax seed (aka healthy for you) flatbreads and they're NOT cheap - and there was mold growing on them. They havea sell-by date of 3/11/15. I am PISSED. I'm hoping Target will take them back tomorrow.
Pregnant shopping for a bachelorette weekend. Not my idea of a good time. Already feeling a little blah and goodness me, where did all the new dimples on my backside come from today?! To make myself feel better I bought some new boots!
maddib FWIW, the GTT is usually 75-100 g of carbs. A 12-oz Dr. Pepper is 40 g of carbs, so you definitely upped your blood sugar by a significant amount by that. To put that in perspective, having GD, I'm allowed 45-60 g of carbs for my entire lunch or dinner meal. So there's still hope, just definitely don't do that for your next test! Beverages are a HUGE source of carbs. Even if you have a 12-ounce glass of apple juice next time, that's still about 30 carbs. Stick with water and a high protein breakfast and it will be more accurate. You aren't cheating - the GTT drink alone is enough carbs to blow your numbers if you do have GD. But you are definitely blowing it if you have a lot of carbs right before you go.
GL to you and billyhorrible. billyhorrible yours isn't bad by much at all, hope it was a fluke for you too!
Ya that's probably what happened. Thank you for the info!!

redlipz I'm feeling the urge to run away as well....
DS (almost 4) snuck into the basement while we were outside playing and dumped 2/3 cup fish pellets into my 15 gallon reef tank. The whole fucking container, and he didn't drop a single pellet, into an opening less than an inch wide. Luckily for him, I didn't discover this until he was napping (probably an hour after it happened). I was so angry, I almost woke him up to yell at him. I got stung by a bristleworm during the 3 hr long cleaning ordeal. DH came home and was working on the truck and the part he got was the wrong one. So he tells me he's going to town to see if they have the right one. I suggested he try calling them first, and he ACTUALLY TRIED TO ARGUE WITH ME. Don't even start with me today. I carried 5, 5 gallon buckets of water to the basement today and I hurt.
I'm fixing dinner and watching the dogs...all the while my husband is playing video games...umm, I'm pretty sure there is laundry to be done, some dishes that need to be washed and the floor always need vacuuming but oh no, you're glued to that damned computer.... Just wait until I take it over to work on homework the rest of the night. Humph!
I know we talked about this some on a previous thread, but I'm curious how do conversations go when you talk to your DH about his video game playing? I feel like mine plays a similar amount (like, all the time) but we've made some good progress in him helping out around the house. It's taken 5 years of marriage, but I'm learning how to be more direct and he WANTS to be helpful. It's just not in his nature. I really hate his mom for babying him and never making him do ANYTHING growing up.
Also, I have my own laptop. I almost wish we shared a computer because it would force him off of it more often

I think I've been having BH this week, but they're not painful at all. I guess maybe like real contractions they're different for everyone? Mine just feels like the whole bottom part of my belly gets super tight and tense. It's a little bit jarring (like when it happens as I stand up) but not necessarily painful... I'm also wondering if that's not what mine is, maybe.

He usually talks about how he hardly ever plus and it helps him relax because we have both been very stressed. We have two laptops and the desktop, one laptop is his work only and I kicked him off the desktop because it's easier to see. He just doesn't think sometimes about offering help which is partly my fault for not asking but some days I don't feel like I should have to give him a list.
I know what you mean. I go back and forth between feeling like i shouldn't have to give him a list (and/or remind him) and then just wanting shit done, so I give him a list. If only we could re-program their brains!
He thinks he "hardly ever" games? Is he in denial or is it really only a couple days/week or something?
carolyngrace, random spurts that last weeks and than he's done. But it's usually the weeks when we are the busiest or I need the most help. Like this week is finals week so I really could use the extra help with the dogs etc.
Ahhh I see. Like you said, how he deals with stress... Which is when you need him the most. Marriage is so crazy
My 3 year old son is on my last nerve today. I'm sooooo close to snapping. He has had 5 tantrums or so today. Worst was when we were out for lunch with my mom. My 4 year old was great, he on the other hand was crying for no reason and wouldn't use his words so I didn't know wtf was wrong with him. Long story short, I just want to run away from him today. I almost want to take him to the babysitter just so I can catch a break n just breathe.
Another rant: my sister trying to figure out what we're naming the baby by saying "Omg I was talking to mom and saying it would be absolutely horrible if you named the baby Joe or Joseph." That wasn't a name we were even considering but wtf is wrong with Joe? And seriously did you thing I was dumb enough to fall for that?
And of course my husband gets home and he's nice and calm. Ay yay yay! It's times like today when I ask myself what the heck I got myself into. Wooooosaaaa! Lol Bluedaisywegrowsheep

I'm worried that it was too severe to be BH, I did a load of googling and spoke to other mother friends and they all said BH was like yours, more gental. I'm thinking I maybe overdid it at work, it's a pretty physical job and prehaps it was just severe bilateral round ligament pain that came on suddenly and left my muscles spasaming after? I'm seeing my midwife today for an appointment anyway so I'm going to double check with her x
tinavonsparkle the other night, my husband, kids and I went on a walk and my son and daughter are really competitive with each other. On our was home my daughter had me jogging back and I felt the same way you're describing, I could hardly make it up the stairs. I think maybe you did just over do it a bit. Let us know what your midwife says(: oh and I found that sitting and drinking some water really helped.
Dear DH, I know you didn't want to get out of bed in the middle of the night but I have no fricking clue how to fix the furnance and I don't know why you would think I would. Also you were the one who was complaining it was too cold in the house.

I never understood how ppl could say theirs didn't hurt. My BH hurt like hell! I have I breathe through them for the 30-45 sec that they last. But after speaking with the doctor and my experience with them with my last two the are just Braxton hicks. So don't worry it seems some ppl barely notice them and others like me have very painful ones!!
