So the 3 hour test is done but now I'm waiting for my TDAP shot and it's taking forever. WTF! Plus the Chinese delivery man brought in their lunch. I'm drooling over here. There's a puddle of my drool on their desk.
Well first I should have clarified ... by "Randoms Thread" I just meant that everyone is free to post whatever is on their mind that particular day. There doesn't have to be a singular theme. Some posts will spawn conversation, others won't. But let's see if it works!
My random ... I was in L&D yesterday for my weekly monitoring, and I overheard one of the desk nurses/attendants (not sure of her degree/title/whatever) saying some really negative things about people who choose home birth. It got me FIRED UP, since I also work for this healthcare company and I care about the reputation and the practice. But, of course, I didn't say anything because what if this lady is in my room when I show up in labor? I don't want to start my hospital experience having to request another nurse due to pre-existing tension.

Thank you for the inspiration on what I should have for lunch. I have a few options here near my work, but it's been a while since I've had Chinese (well, Minnesota Chinese ...).

I am so effin sunburnt. Like I'm walking around the house in a sheet (like a toga) and afraid to go outside because of the heat. This is the colour of red I am:
Thigh:
Calf
karlamo right now I am either pregnant or PMSing and that Chinese food sounds amazing.
jgy, they sound professional. I'm with you and would have bit my tongue cause that would awkward for sure.
In the end I never got the shot. When Mamosey was pregnant with R I got it and then 2 days later got cellulitis. It was a bad case and the only reason why I wasn't hospitalized was cause the ER dr said I *seemed* intelligent enough to know when to come back in.
The midwife doesn't want to risk me getting it now at 34 weeks. I'm uneasy about this. I now feel like baby Moka is vulnerable. I've interpreted apts for babies with Whooping cough and it is down right scary. My MW said I still have antibodies from the last shot to pass on and my wife is getting hers and will be BF do the baby will get it from her. I'm more worried about all the peeps coming to visit. This stinks.
Ummm... wittyandwaiting - are those actual photos of your skin? I was thinking not, but now I am wondering... if they are, do you think maybe you should see a dr or urgent care. That is REALLY red! Just looking out for you, friend! Hope you feel better ASAP! I also hope you are pregnant and not PMSing.
karlamo - I can totally understand why you are nervous about not getting the shot, but I am sure the risk is less to not get the shot, then to get it and have you react badly to it. I am sure all will be well with you and little MoKa!
jgy - I would have had a hard time keeping my mouth shut in that situation, but I think I would have tried not to say anything also. It always bothers me when I overhear healthcare providers having inappropriate conversations. I just feel like the standard should be higher in terms of what is acceptable. I have heard nurses/drs talking about a patient's chart and very specific things about that patient in an elevator before, and I wanted to scream. Even though the patient's name wasn't mentioned, it just felt so inappropriate!
My random for the day... I just ate all the food that I brought to work with me for the rest of the day (including my planned afternoon snack) because I was soooo shaky hungry all of a sudden that I couldn't handle it. Now I know I am likely to be starving again around 3-3:30pm, and there is nothing that I will be able to do about it. Ugh!
Oh, bonus random... the leak in my downstairs bathroom that I posted about in my whine/wine Wednesday, was in fact a quick and affordable fix! I feel like this is the first thing that has gone my way in a long time. Maybe the tides of luck, etc. are turning for me!!!
I ended up getting Whole Foods Mac n cheese with salad for lunch. It tasted amazing. I may have snuck a chocolate donut in my cart. I'm assuming I failed the test so I thought I'd treat myself to a little sugar before the real diet begins.
Kh, glad it was easy. I feel like as homeowners we hardly ever get the easy fix. If I was you I'd keep extra snacks in my drawer at work to snack on. I always pack way too much food just in case I need to eat.
karlamo, I totally get your concern, but I would try not to worry too much. Honestly, I'd be way less comfortable with the situation if Moka was going to be a Winter baby. But with an August DD along with breastmilk from M, I think Moka will be just fine. And you DO NOT need to get cellulitis while pregnant, my friend.
BTW, I'm pretty sure we have one of the cribs that's in the recall sticky at the top of the page. I need to look it up. Good thing R doesn't sleep in his bed eh'.
Hi all! It's a driving around town day for me so I can't hang out here like I want to, damn job. But I have a minute and thought I'd share a story from my day so far.
The second home I showed this morning has a renter in it and even though I made an appointment she was still there sleeping when we got there. I knocked on the front door, because I've accidentally walked in on people before, and no one answered so we cautiously entered. The master bedroom door was closed. I just had this feeling. I knocked on the door, no answer, opened it and she say straight up with a shocked look on her face. Awkward!!! I said excuse me, we slowly backed away and walked out.
Me: 31 Wife: 30. Legally married 2008, thanks CA! TTC #1 since 11/14 using donor sperm. IUIs Jan-Aug 2015 BFN Sept & OCT 2015 added Femara. BFN Saw RE December 2015.

HUGS! I can understand your anxiety about this. I got the shot again (even though I got it last year when M was pregnant) because I'm worried about people visiting. I can understand why your midwife is being conservative here. But if you feel strongly about it, can you get your family doctor to give you the shot?
****loss and living child discussed***** We're queer. I'm 34, have severe stage 4 endo, and both fallopian tubes are gone. My love ("Manada" 33) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tav.in and Ca.sey at 21 weeks gestation.
Today was the first day of "Chip Club" at work today. 4 of us are in said club. Each week on thursday, one of us will bring in a bag of chips and divide it among the four people. Today it was Doritos. Yummy!

The classic Doritos? Or Cool Ranch? HAHAHA
Have I mentioned I am hungry?!?!
I haven't had chips of any kind since my last pregnancy, but I'm thinking I might need to change that....

Changes at work will probably force me to work a more 9-5 schedule. Which will double our childcare costs and I will miss all my alone time with my dtg and also force me to work some holidays and weekends. I'm really sad as the reality of this is setting in.

Thanks karlamo! I'm really hoping too....I'm getting the POAS itch but I won't. Also, Tim Hortons launched a Reese's Peanut Butter donut and your donut reminded that I want one!
Yep at kh826, that's my flesh. I called my doc and she gave me some things to do / look out for so for now I'm chillin' (literally) and using all the aloe. Also, booyah to a cheap fix!
kona that effin sucks. When do the changes take effect?
jgy I'm also bothered when HCP's can't maintain professionalism; kudos for keeping your cool.

Speaking of chips and randomness, I tried the new jalapeno popper Ruffles the other night and burned my mouth off. Today was my "Friday" which is awesome because it means I can relax and also be neurotic, hopefully the extra time won't send me into "GOOGLE EVERYTHING" mode. Aiming to not pee on a stick until Sunday, which will be post-insemination days 10/11... though wittyandwaiting, is a pusher.
