Thursday Symptoms, Rants, & Randoms

[belle0720]

What's going on with everyone today?

[belle0720]

I woke up at 4:30 and Baby was going all Fight Club on my belly No matter which way I laid the painstaking kicks would move. Finally got back to sleep not long before my alarm went off. And the ninja kicks continue today. Sometimes they bring tears to my eyes. Anyone else having such painful kicks? They're all above my belly button and all over (side, middle, side) so it's definitely kicks and not cramps or Braxton hicks. I wish I didn't have so much work to do today so I could go home and lay down!

In other news. H and I are going to Gearapalooza tonight. I'm excited to see what's in our goody bag and check out all of the baby gear!

It's my office duty day at work, and my phone hasn't stopped ringing all day. Super close to hiding under my desk and rocking myself to comfort...but then someone would have to help me up off the floor lol. DH is rounding down year 2 of his PhD program, so life's been pretty quiet/boring (at least for me) at home. No big plans for the next few weeks, so going to try and catch up on rest and Netflix while I have the chance! Gearapalooza sounds like a lot of fun - hope we get to hear a rundown of all the good schtuff!

Heartburn. Ugh.

And baby boy is a bit quiet today, compared to the last few days. More shifting than kicking/rolling/punching. My cervix is appreciating the lack of tickles today

100% the same. I was starting to freak about the lack of movement today so I ate a Popsicle and am laying on my side. Now he's back in action and I'm much happier!

[noeliav]

Hey. Guess who finally put in the waiver request for insurance to cover the birth center as in-network?
I feel like this deserves a celebratory something... like... cake. (I have no cake, alas.)

Just got out new updated dress code policy for work...no more jeans on Fridays. Effective IMMEDIATELY. Soooooooo sad:'(
And we don't even have clients in the office on Fridays!! Jerks-__-

[bendherova]

Up at 4:30a today too. I feel like crap all around.

Instead of napping while DS was at school I spent the bulk of the time reading a drama filled 38 page thread on parenting. I'm still not done. Oy.

correction. 47 page post.

This just reminded me that someone I work with wore swim trunks to work today. We have a pretty lax dress code, but I mean...wow. I legitimately laughed out loud at him when I saw him.

And people wonder why dress codes get changed to a stricter policy.  Wow...

I don't know if Kiddo knows how to do anything but hard kicks - I'm pretty sure the right side of my uterus is very very bruised. Today he's quiet (still kicking, still moving, just not as constant or insane feeling). He also does this thing where all I can guess is he's sticking out a limp or pushing his butt or back in the wall of  the uterus and pushing. I thought at first they were BH but they're one sided, and when I have BH, it's a different feeling. Plus if I look down while he does it, I'm lopsided 

I slept last night (wow - the difference an hour makes!!) but heartburn all day and my whole belly is sore (see above). I went for a walk at lunch and ended up with a few BH which scared me, but lots of water and they're gone. 

[missjenniebean]

Tired of everything. Mentally exhausted. Nervous for baby. Nervous about cloth diapering. I want to do nothing. I feel like I can cry at any given notice. Not. Good. I should practice my Spanish. I hate wearing pants. How am I gonna survive another six weeks plus after?!?!

[baileybaileybne]

I've had a cold the past 2 weeks and had a day off work to rest but I'm almost through it and behold, I survived.
DH woke up this morning with a cold: but no no, he insists it's the flu and he's basically on death's door. I don't have the energy to sympathize right now. It's a cold, chin up.

[txngrl31]

I think I've reached the level of being uncomfortable and extremely tired the majority of my day. Props to all you second and third time mamas that take of children while pregnant....this third tri business is exhausting!

I got my hair cut today, and while sitting down, realized how big the tummy has gotten. Hair stylists' full length mirrors are not forgiving.

[jcprn]

Oh the heartburn and I'm moving sooooo slowly nowadays.

Had my first hypnobirthing class last night and I'm so psyched to learn more in the next upcoming classes! My mom is going with me because DH is working during every class. We watched 2 videos and these women literally breathed their babies out. So amazing! I hope it works for me when the time comes!

[wegrowsheep]

Cruddy week here. Family friend passed away from pneumonia and diabetes complications a couple days ago. Only 21 Anniversary of cousin's death (2 yrs ago) is today. Staying off of facebook because it is flooded with pics of both.

DH found out 3 weeks ago that he needs to have a new job lined up by the time LO arrives. How come it is so easy to find time to work out, and stare at his phone, but not look for a job?
Way too much stress. I am *this close* to losing my shit.

Also, my right leg and my sciatic nerve are having a spat.

Edit: kids had dentist appts yesterday. DD has 3 small cavities, despite all our best efforts. DS may need orthodontic attention by age 7. I cried on my way home.

[bruunk]

wegrowsheep you have had a week! I second the ugly cry - Steel Magnolia always gets me going, even when I try to fight it. Sending you more creep internet hugs - I'm sorry this week was so hard!

[littlemissgrump]

Add me to the tired, slow moving, and heartburn list. And nausea.

My baby shower is this weekend so I was trying to find a new dress and having horrible horrible luck. I found this dress that had a nice fit and I actually liked wearing it but check out the fatal flaw. Right to the boobs. Who does that?

There was absolutely no point to that episode?! And not even a hint of a warning that someone was leaving the show!

I don't know if I would go that far.  They kill off or relocate some of the characters every year.  If you keep up with whose contract is getting renewed it gives a clue, if anything.

I stopped watching Grey's for years because I felt it was becoming too dramatic. I recently started watching again. Yea, I think I'm done. Half of the characters are gone!

Ill give you that, I did hear rumors that he was being demanding or whatnot.  But still, why have him come back for one episode, then have him die of a brain bleed ?! Should've just had him stay in D.C. at that point.

It was just a scare and definitely motivation for DH to finish the basement!! And get things going! I am kinda happy about that part of it !

I just want to scream!!!!! I have a 4 yr old daughter and a 3 yr old son. The are driving me INSANE!!!!!! They won't stop fighting, I separate them and they just want to be together, they're being super hyper aaallllll daaaaayyyy! Screaming and jumping and running all over the place. I am sooooo not looking forward to starting my leave if they don't simmer down. I'm totally gonna be taking them to the babysitter once a week or so just so I can sit on my butt, watch tv and eat ice cream, nothing else. I know I should probably take them outside or to the park but I'm exhausted n still have sooooo much to do in the house, doesn't help I've started nesting and they are so not helping. Woooooooosaaaaa! Vent over(:
