I'm anxious and excited that my sonogram is finally tomorrow! It's been a long four weeks. Baby girl is getting stronger so I feel hopeful that she's grown quite a bit, I can see her moving from the outside when she's super active now! I'm hoping for good news tomorrow, my DH is taking a half day to be there! We're also touring a pre-k tomorrow that DS will probably start in Sep (T/Th). They started enrolling Jan 1!!
I'm starting a new study at my church today and hoping my DS doesn't flip out when I drop him off at the child care (he did this last semester). Hopefully he's grown past that!
I am a huge ball of nerves before my A/S! Why in the world did I think I could manage to work all day and be productive. Come ON 3 o'clock!
Also, do any of you brilliant, lovely ladies have any cough remedies? I cannot stop hacking and it is getting irritating, both to my throat and to my students. Am I stuck with salt water gargle?
I haven't caught up on yesterday yet. Off to do so!

Cough drops and Robitussin DM were on my OB's ok list.
I'm not even at work yet and I'm annoyed. Email on your phone is nice cuz you can stay plugged in and keep more caught up--but it sucks when people are douche bags at 7 am and get you off to a bad start from the comfort of your own home.
I think today may actually be new car day! It was supposed to be Monday, then Tuesday, but the dealer never got the car in....and I'm waiting for the color I want. So, today is hopefully the day. My headlight went out on Monday in my old car that I'm trading in and I really don't want to have to fix it. It also needs to be smogged so I really hope today is the day.

Hot tea with honey is my best solution. My dr. okayed Halls cherry cough drops too.

I've been doing Halls. I was avoiding cough medicine unless I really needed it, even though it was on my OBs ok list. But I didn't really start to get better until I took Robitussin because it let me sleep through the night, which was the most effective healer. Two nights of sleep in a row and. I no longer feel like I'm teetering on the edge of developing something worse than a cold. Feel better!
DD2 was a terrible sleeper last night, she's fighting a cold and is getting gunk in her eyes (she HATES anything in her eyes) so it was rough. Then I woke up to some bleeding with a couple of clots. This also happened a week or so ago. I can feel baby moving but the sight of blood is unnerving and alarming.
Anyway, our blizzard is over and it wasn't so bad. So at least DD1 could go to preschool today. I don't feel like parenting today:(
A very kind lady in one of my local mom groups offered to give me her expired car seat to take to the BRU trade-in! I think I'm going to use the coupon to get one of our infant seats.
I was bummed that Baby Jogger is one of the only brands that isn't included for the coupon, but then I saw that they're running a good sale! We decided to go with the City Select, and getting a double for 20% off is a pretty good deal. I should probably clear that purchase with DH though since it's a bit bigger.
nitecheese, another vote for honey, either in tea or hot water or just a spoonful on its own to coat your throat. I'm actually drinking a heavily honey'ed peppermint tea right now for that very reason.
Feeling down this morning, I just found out a close uncle was diagnosed with cancer which has likely spread. We've been pretty lucky and have not had any major illness or death in our family in a number of years but it's hard.
In more up beat news, DS is so excited about picking out Valentine cards for his class. I foresee a lot of time spent sorting through the cards he brings home from his friends which will be cute.
I am currently waiting for my anatomy scan. MH had to go out of town so I am by myself. We already know it's a girl but I am nervous about if they found something. That happened last time so being alone sucks.
csat, I'm so sorry about your uncle. Diagnoses like that are just awful all the way around. I hope he's able to stay upbeat and comfortable for as long as possible.
bighair12, good luck with the A/S! Let us know how it goes.
sandandsea , I may have missed this - what kind of car are you getting?
I'm getting the 2016 Prius. I'm super excited! DH is less excited as he thinks it's ugly. But, I'm happy for the 52mpg, the gigantic trunk, and all of the cool technology/options. Dh agrees that it's a very practical car, he just wishes we were getting something higher end. I'm replacing an 08 mazda 3 hatchback so "cool technology" is relative since my current car doesn't have bluetooth.
csat, have you gotten the valentines already? I found some a few weeks ago at the dollar store and DS picked the Paw patrol ones (shocker). I also got a bag of small lollipops to hand out with them. I spent $2 for his class of 28 kids so I was happy! I'm still waiting for the class list as I have no idea how to spell half of the kids' names in his class.
DD is finally feeling better but now I'm sick. Ugh stomach bugs can suck it!! Thankfully it's today and not Friday when we are supposed to go to Disney live. I will just need to be sure to try and stay hydrated because I ended up on an IV with DD from dehydration over a stomach bug.
I just signed DS up for swim lessons and I'm super excited! It's a Wednesday evening class so DH and I will take him together. I'm excited for us to have a fun family activity before baby comes-now to find a maternity swim suit, yikes!!!
Baby girl looks awesome. But, I have placenta accreta. Which changes pretty much everything for us. I am set to graduate the middle of May with my Masters and would have to travel to ND for two weeks. That doesn't look it gets to happen now. I have a follow up scan on April 13. The high risk MFM didn't sound positive about me being able to go and I highly doubt my OB will let me. I will also most likely have a c section at 35 weeks if not earlier with a hysterectomy. My risk of bleeding is high at this point. So, now all we do is wait.
MH is gone till tomorrow and I am just super bummed about it all. I am so happy the baby is healthy but it just all sort of sucks.
Ah, bighair12 , I'm sorry for a stressful diagnosis. Will you end up on bed rest?
I'm so happy you've got a good team of doctors and nurses and that your baby is healthy!!
The high risk doctor said not now. But, ultimately it will depend on what my OB says. My bleeding stopped three weeks ago. If I have anymore bleeding then things change. My last rotation day for my last rotation is March 23. So, if I can make to then...
Thank you all. I feel especially bad for my mom, she has very little immediate family left and is very close to her brother.
sandandsea, we haven't bought the Valentines yet I was going to take him this weekend but the dollar store is a great idea. I know he will love picking them out.
bighair12, that's good news on a healthy baby but I'm sorry about the other news. I think it's pretty great though that you are going to slide in finishing your Master's right before the baby comes!
