Really trying not to be a SS here but I just got sent to L&D to get a NST. Baby's heart is doing "something odd" according to my OB. What the hell does that mean? T's and Ps ladies?
Widget123 yep, working mom who feeds at home. I have some medela bottles my mom bought me already, so it seems the upgrades are more for the bag and cooler.
I have the backpack from when I had DS1, but hell if it's worth $95 to upgrade it when you can use your own bag to carry it back and forth.
Just getting discharged. My OB just thought LO heArt beat was abnormally fast. 160s while I watched him during that hour. No offense to her but I could have told her that was his average when he was active back home. I've never had an appointment down here when he was with her. I'm glad she leans on the cautious side though. Could have gone without that comment though.
This exact same thing happened to me yesterday. My lo was also in the 160s. I ended up coming down with something today, which might have had something to do with it. (they kept asking me at the hospital if I had a cold.) Glad all is well with you.
Also, in more mathy-ness, this mom has been pregnant for 520 weeks of her life (13 * 40). That's ten.fucking.years.
HOLY. SHIT.
I just can't even imagine that!! And the thought of having 14 males (assuming there is 1 father) vs 1 female in a single household terrifies me. That's a hell of a lot of testosterone.
Does anyone get swelling on one side more than the other? My right foot gets a lot more swelled than my left.
Yup. Left side is worse! I'm left handed, is that why?
Maybe-I am right handed haha. I think I involuntarily cross my ankles at work when I am sitting which is most of the time. Don't google it. It tells you you likely have a deadly blood clot haha.
Does anyone get swelling on one side more than the other? My right foot gets a lot more swelled than my left.
Yes, I have the exact same problem. Since it does go down overnight, and I don't have any other blood clot or pre-eclampsia symptoms, I haven't worried too much, but will mention it at my appt tomorrow. My mom did say that if the baby hangs out on one side more than the other, this can lead to more fluid retention on that side (baby is almost always on my right side).
Ohhh that makes sense too. Baby is almost always up under my right ribs. My stretch marks are even lopsided on the right.

Yeah I couldn't see a real benefit for $95 extra! Lord knows I have enough totes and our pedi gave us a milk cooler bag.
So the weirdest thing has been happening lately. I gave actually heard little popping noises coming from my belly. At first I thought I was just hearing things, but after a few days of it, I know it's not in my head.
I finally looked it up today. Apparently it's somewhat normal, and likely doesn't mean anything. It's hard to pinpoint the specific reasons, but I found this list and they all kind of make sense, although I hope it's not cracking joints - that one gives me the chills lol.
Anyone else hearing these pops? I definitely didn't have this with DD.
I think Bluejays do that to other nests. My dad is always trying to chase them from his yard as they will take over the nests of other birds.... Including kicking the other eggs out. Lazy little bastards won't make their own nests.
I mentioned this in my 10 things, but S+TMs, did your kids actually play with loveys? Are they just something for babies to grab? We've got about 10 of them at this point...
I think it is specific to the child to some degree. DD has never gotten attached to a lovey or any other sort of stuffed animal or comfort object, at least not to date. I've heard of other children that are like this.
My DS had never shown any attachment to a lovey or any stuffed animals. He has a pile of them from the shower that he won't acknowledge.
I have a theory it's because we have 2 very entertaining small dogs that he adores so when he sees his stuffed animal by comparison we joke that he is thinking what is this lifeless thing w fake fur? Why doesn't it move? The dogs are just way cooler by comparison

Someone else definitely was getting popping sounds. And my response is pretty much useless to you because I cannot remember who it was and I cannot page them. You're not alone though! Some where out there, there's another popping baby...

Last night I tried the ol' pick up your belly to get all the pee out trick. Baby started thrashing around in my hands! Well, that makes it sound violent. It wasn't at all. It was hilarious. Reminded me of when we pick up our dog and he starts flailing his little dog body about. It was really cool to feel him with both hands and know I was holding him up for the first time. Love this little guy!
On bringing food... Depends on the person's situation. Do they have a large support network? Bring fruit or a favorite dessert of hers (GD here - I want a black forest cake. I can't stop fantasizing about it.) If they aren't social butterflies, bring a pop-in-the-oven meal.
Not a single person brought anything last time (I say that with no bitterness, I should note). Seriously doubt anyone will bring anything this time either, though we've been here over 2 years instead of barely 2 months. We just don't know many of that type of person.
Oooohhhh black forest cake!!! Yummy cherries & chocolate!!!
I've been in tears all day... The dress I bought for my shower doesn't fit and they don't have my size. I've spent all day shopping for dresses and can't find anything. SO told me to go online and order a few that I like and he will return the ones I don't choose. I still can't find anything. I hate dress/skirt shopping. Now I can't stop crying like a crazy person.
It's been a few days since you posted this but I hope this was resolved. I'm sorry you're having such a tough time

I just had one last night!!! I thought I heard a little pop the other day, but last night it was much louder and freaked me out lol. Soo also googled and found a similar list (may have been this one I don't remember)

I swell more on my right side then my left and kiddo is def hanging out on my right side. I also have injured that foot several times, so it swells up sometimes pre pregnancy for no reason (usually bad shoes).

I've been complaining about feeling emotional and like shit on every thread imaginable, so I won't continue to do that...
I will say that typically I get to school (I'm a school therapist) for the period starting at 9:45am. Today I gave myself some grace and aimed for 10:30am. Well.. here I sit at 10:45, so hopefully getting there for 3rd period will do.
This was going to be my last week, but because of how much I'm slacking I'll need to go in for a couple of half-days next week. Maybe it's better to split it up, than killing myself over it this week!
Kristykristyleelee You are the rationale one here. If I were you I would just stay out of any family drama related to this, other than being there for your sister if/when she needs you.
BigKO Say what?! How in the world is your relationship anything like your sisters? You're definitely NOT the crazy one here. Your family reallllly needs to educate themselves when it comes to being gay/lesbian/bisexual.
