C finally doesn't have a fever! She had one from Thursday - Sunday with her only other symptom being a runny nose. We ended up going in yesterday because she sobbed uncontrollably for an hour. They checked her for a UTI and it came back negative and said, well must be viral good luck. She's feeling so much better today.
I think I have caught what she has. I have a sore throat and have to blow my nose every 10 minutes.... awesome.
Upside my very first Tula comes today in the mail I'm excited to try it out
The swelling officially hit yesterday. I can definitely see it in my fingers/hands, and my shoes were snug when I put them on this morning. Ugh...is it March yet??
I finally had to lose the rings yesterday. I think my swelling is related to the heat we've been having here though. I think the rings will just stay off now. I'm terrified of them getting stuck.

chatterbox, hope everything is going to be fine and that they were able to reassure you quickly!
We saw The Revenant over the weekend. I spent most of the film very intensely distracting myself with delicious, buttery popcorn. What I should have been doing was practicing labor meditation or Kegels every time something horrible happened, lol.

chatterbox FX that everything is okay and you can get some reassurance!
I'm randomly on for randoms today. Sorry I flaked out for like, oh the last 18 weeks. Once the holidays hit, I started working 80+ hours. I hardly saw my own family. Now I'm locked in my office for the next three weeks (or until bedrest inevitably starts), trying to get everything ready for the bad news bears to take over. AKA I'm going to be on here while I hide.
I don't know what is going on, but the stuffiness is LEGIT today. I can't breathe at all. Usually it only affects me at night so I don't know if this pg-related or if it's the start of sickness.

Anybody else get crazy hot flashes along with their BH contractions? I'M soo hot right now. Both literally and figuratively.
I don't know if it was BH related but I woke up in the middle of the night this weekend so sweaty I thought I had peed myself or my water broke. Nope. Just night sweats.
I had this happen 2 nights ago. I woke up drenched. So gross.
I'm annoyed at our therapist today. She stressed the importance of us coming in for a family session, so we made it for for today. My school is out due to the holiday, but the kids are all in. So we pulled them out. H took off work. We all showed up on time at 8am to discover that she wasn't feeling well, so we had to cancel.
I get that people get sick, but can't you let me know BEFORE I drive all the way downtown? Also, H is pissed because he thinks it's a nightly big coincidence to be sick the day after the Super Bowl.
Odds of us scheduling another family day before the baby comes? Absolute Zero. I'm already in the hole when it comes to sick/vacation time. I was really looking forward to it to.
ironmom, I wondered what happened to you, glad to hear you are ok. Hopefully you can get some rest for these last few weeks!
chatterbox FX that everything is ok. Having H come home was the right move.
Thanks. Just real life taking over! I can't believe we're all almost done. And that I've had 47 doctors appointments in a 7 month period of time.
I'm sure that this was discussed a bazillion times, so I'm sorry, but did anyone get a new car? I just tried to install our second car seat, and it's really stupid tight back there. So I'm suddenly in the market.
So yesterday I felt awful baby was in a really bad position and my rib was hurting so bad. I could not do anything at yoga because literally every pose felt like I was pushing her head further into my ribs. I had a total melt down in class and started crying and had to leave for awhile. I was just gonna leave leave but my sweater and water bottle were in the room. So I went back when I had calmed down a bit. Although I was still crying a bit. My doula is also the instructor so obviously she didn't just leave me there crying... After class we talked for awhile and she gave me some new positions to try bc I really hadn't been having luck with spinning babies since my little girl has been transverse and footling breech not traditional bum on the cervix and so much of spinning babies is aimed at helping baby lift out of the cervix. I stayed in the position the doula gave me for the entire second half of the super bowl and when I woke up this morning baby was in a totally different position. Not sure how she is oriented now but I am so much more comfortable. FX she is finally head down, I don't think she is quite there yet but she is at least not making me so miserable today
chatterbox keep us posted! Hope you and baby are okay.
@shakeyjakey, not to be a broken record, since I always say ASOS, but ASOS has amazing fitted maternity dresses, and they are almost all cheap. (Also free shipping & free returns...)

What is the position? This baby is footling breech too. So far nothing flips her.
Has anyone seen a fitted maternity dress? I checked pink blush and target but they don't have what I want. Something shortish that shows off the bump for my maternity session which is the 21st. Oops.
If you weren't a teensy human compared to me, I have a lot I could send you to borrow. I'm officially over the fitted stuff right now. Heh

Ha. Me too. Since when do maternity clothes not fit anymore? Isn't that the POINT of maternity clothes? I feel like I can't breath in my maternity pants with a stretchy waist band. hahaha!

You might have to order online, but should arrive by the 21st.
I started to pack my hospital bag. DH thinks I am nuts because he said that I packed way too much. Men just dont understand that there is always a "what if" situation.

So my baby had her head to the right, her bum down and to the left and feet in my lady bits. So she had me lay on my right side for awhile until I started to feel her head shift a bit then pull my left leg up on top of the birth ball or a bunch of pillows so that it was super high and coming towards my head. Basically, using gravity for force her head sideways and making space so that she could lift her legs out. So I think it would depend on your baby's exact position but if her head is to the left or the right it might help you too (if she was to the left you would lie on that side and lift you right leg).
My boss just squished me/my bump into my desk (by accident). I've got a box of merchandise next to my chair that I'm pricing; he pushed it into my chair while reaching for something, which shoved me & my chair into my desk. Ouch!!
...ok it happened again before I even got this typed out!!

This 18/19/20/whatever month sleep regression is for the birds. Really hoping DS figures out how to sleep again before LO arrives
Ours lasted just a few days. Only recommendation is to not start any new bad habits. C would wake up in the middle of the night and I knew by her cry she was just annoyed. I never went to her. Also when I put her down and she'd cry I'd just let her do it.

I went to the gym today for the first time in a couple weeks. Omg. It's significantly harder to do anything. How am I going to work out again in the next 6 weeks? I can barely tie my shoes. I walked for half hour (3.0 speed was as fast as I could move my ass) and rode the bike for half hour (5 miles.) Only 250 calories burned in an hour. Wtf...

cinnamonsmilesisolemnlyswear you guys are making me nervous! Ugh I hope it isn't that bad. DD will be 18 months in a week and a half or so. Also someone reminded me that Daylight Saving Time is just over a month away so we'll have THAT to start getting her adjusted to right after new LO arrives. Yikes.
cinnamonsmiles I have been thinking of you a lot and your solo parenting! How long has your H been gone and how have things been going? I hope LO #2 decides to keep cooking until he makes it home!!

Um. This sounds amazing to me. Stop beating yourself up - you're 9 months pregnant. lol

Anyone who is going to the gym this late in pregnancy is a rock star in my eyes. You are burning way more calories than I am sitting on my ass every day! Way to go!
I had a lady that worked at the nail salon run up to the guy who was doing my pedicure and tell him to stop massaging my legs and feet because it would induce labor yesterday.
Guys, It really bummed me out. We have so few things left that we can enjoy, and if I want a leg massage (which, I might add, I sprung for the fancy pedicure for a longer massage and treatment), I should be able to get a mother-effing leg massage.
