I got a pedicure yesterday with my MIL. The guy at the place grabbed his nail clippers and went to town on my toes. To clarify my nails weren't even long. He just sat down and did that, didn't even ask if I wanted them cut. Dug in there along the corners and clipped. I'm prone to ingrown nails on my big toes and thats where he of course started. I was pretty much stunned, couldn't even say anything. Now my right big toe has been sore and I of course consulted the internet. I'm scared that I'm going to wind up with a blood infection and hurt my baby. Kicking myself for indulging and potentially becoming one of those "how a pedicure ruined my life" stories.
wormgerm Ahh! #1 I hate when I go to a pedicure place and I have a guy. They are just not as good as a girl. #2 Don't cut my nails unless I say to! I hope everything is okay. He probably just cut your nails too short. FX

That's weird that he didn't ask, they've ways asked for me, even if I get a guy. I hope you don't end up with an ingrown. I work at a podiatrists office, so if it starts getting red and sore, soak it in Epsom salts and warm water and get to a podiatrist office quickly! My dr can usually do a temporary fix as long as it's not infected to get it to grow out correctly.
Back story: we have a super cute little dog (she's 8 pounds) and I am insistent that when she is in the car with us, she cannot ride in our laps, because if we were in an accident, the airbags would probably kill her. She has a little booster seat that she can be safely harnessed into and I insist she ride in that.
Fast forward to last night: On our way home from dinner, DH said "Maybe I should take your car into the dealership this week and have them disable the front airbags now". I looked at him like he was nuts and said "Um, what? Why?"
He said, well, wouldn't it be bad if an airbag went off? If it's bad for the dog, it's gotta be even worse for your belly!
I told him I had never heard of anyone doing this, and the dealership would most likely not do this anyways. I told him, things will be fine, and to not worry about it.
So, who is the bigger SS? DH for thinking this? Or me for now, in the back of my head, questioning if he is right and this is something that should be common sense but I've just never heard of it before...

He gets credit for a cute attempt at logic, but you're right. DEFINITELY much safer for you and baby with an airbag, studies back that up. Just as it would cushion you in an accident, it will cushion baby and help prevent injury. If things start getting tight because your belly is getting big, just move your seat back a bit, angle the steering wheel if necessary so it wouldn't angle in to your belly, etc.

Ever since dr said he wants to get that ultrasound to check baby's growth, I have convinced myself that somehow I squashed him. How? Idk. Pooping, rolling out of bed, going to put the leash on the pup, or the few pepperoni I had a while ago somehow did that.
This is why drs should not say, " no more ultrasounds unless i think something is wrong."

I had a dream last night about snakes. Now, this isn't terribly unusual for me. I tend to have dreams about snakes a lot. But this is the first time during the pregnancy. Snakes in dreams are supposed to represent changes in health, so now I'm concerned something is going to happen that will affect the health of me or the baby.

If you want to go really SS the safest place for you is in the back seat. The most dangerous seat in a car is the front passenger even with an airbag. So instead of him disabling the front airbag he can just chauffeur you around like a queen .
