Not a whole lot here. Trying to work up motivation to pack DD up and go to the grocery store. Need a zucchini for stir fry tonight. I also want to make banana bread but need more ripe bananas and eggs. It's grey and rainy here today.

Ugh, I slept like crap last night. I had to move to the guest room and that made my DH all sad and worried so he was mopey this morning and I had to reassure him a million times that I wasn't angry with him. I just suddenly feel very, very enormous and pregnant. I had been sleeping so well and feeling so comfortable until the past 2 days or so. I weighed myself this morning and I've gained 5 pounds in the past week - WTF?!? I don't even think I've been eating that much - in fact I went out to eat a few times this weekend and could barely eat 1/4 of what was on my plate. The weight gain explains why I feel the way I do though. I think this baby must have gone through a huge growth spurt.

I feel you, frecklesnbrains , on not sleeping well last night. Sorry!
Also - I am sweaty and hot all the time, I swear. UGH!
Oh, and plus also, I posted over on the baby names board for some input. If you like sharing your opinions - go for it. I am stumped with this little guy.

I'm right there with you. Before the last two weeks I had Gained 2 pounds. Now I'm at 12. I feel huge and like everything is hard!
I'm exhausted. I hate the time change and want to stay in bed all day!

Happy Monday! I wouldn't let DS nap yesterday, and he was out like a light by 9. DH had gone out with a friend, so I was super excited to get some time to myself, except my asshole dog wouldn't stop barking so I was terrified. Everything was fine, he is just on high alert whenever I'm home alone. He doesn't make a freaking peep when DH is home. He must be like, "You got this bro, I'm gonna nap."
But we had a really fun family weekend. We saw Zootopia--it was amazing! I highly recommend. It you are looking to open up a big conversation about racism and stereotyping with your little kids, this is the place to do it. On the surface it's a movie about following your dreams and doing your best, but it so much more. We had a really good talk with DS (3.5yo) in the car on the way home.
Other than that, back to work on this time change day--woof. I want coffee but my stomach is not feeling right so no way is that happening. It's the time of feeling miserable, but we are in the home stretch! Almost all of us are in 3rd tri!!
origamimommy, my dog does the exact same thing! When H is home, she's chill and naps all day, but when it's just the two of us, she's at the window barking at every little thing that is and is not there. Gotta protect mommy!
I'm WFH today, trying to maintain focus as best I can.
DH and I met with the potential babysitter and her H yesterday and we LOVE them!! It's the perfect arrangement and DH and I were totally set on her. But then MIL goes and texts DH literally right after our meeting offering to watch the twins during the week. The catch is she lives 1.5 hr away and would need to stay down here during the week (plus a multitude of other small annoyances that would accompany that arrangement). Ugh, I like her and appreciate the offer so much, but I really wish she hadn't offered because now DH and I have to discuss it and likely let her down by saying no.

Yeah, my weight gain early was very minimal - nothing at all until about 16 weeks, then only very gradual until recently. I'm actually only up 15 total so far, which is technically pretty low-normal for 28 weeks - it's just clearly been hard on my body because the vast majority of that has been in the past 2 weeks. I'm hoping it's just a growth spurt rather than "hey, this is what all of 3rd trimester is going to be like". I've been trying to just let my body do what it's naturally going to do without worrying about it, but if it keeps up at this rate things will get pretty ugly.

frecklesnbrains, it typically slows down. I remember with my first feeling amazing until 32 weeks and then I didn't get any bigger until the very end. It goes in spurts--you'll be in pain for a few days and then visibly bigger (at least it did for me). So it's not an every week occurence! And thank goodness for that because I would be as big as a freaking house if it were.
After a great weekend with my family, this morning was terrible. I was on my way out the door to leave for work and DH called me back in and promptly collapsed. Thankfully I was there to "catch" him so he didn't hit his head on the shower, which was no small feat at my current size. He didn't totally pass out, but he said he was really dizzy and nauseous. He's been sleeping all morning while I work from home, and we may still end up at the doctor based on how he feels when he wakes up.
In brighter news, DS woke up without an issue this morning after the time change, so I'm hoping that we'll have a regular evening at home tonight and can get through this time change without any sleep issues!

I don't know if I've ever been so happy to see a Monday.
DH had been home since last Tuesday with that crazy stomach bug going around. I really did feel bad for him but I'm so happy to be alone today and not nursing a grown man-baby.

Oh my gosh that would scare me. Hope he gets to feeling better!

Add me to the huge and grumpy tired club.
Quarter grades are due in about 40 hours. I am drowning under a pile of essays. DS was wild yesterday. I blame the time change. Until I get this work under control, I will be scarce around these parts.
THIS! THIS! THIS! My DH was so upset that I slept in the guest room last night and when I explained to him it was because I was uncomfortable and he was snoring loudly he got all defensive. Hahaha! I think he's gonna have to get used to it...
We stayed home indoors all weekend due to rain, needless to say DS was not the nicest to be around towards the end, so I'm have mixed feelings about being back to work today.
Also slept like crap last night, not helped by having dreams that I was so tired but couldn't fall asleep. Who dreams that???
A random woman yelled out on the crowded train 'someone should give that pregnant woman a seat' so I have a seat but not sure how I feel about that.
Thanks guys! He just woke up and looks a lot better but we're still probably going to head to the doctor in a bit to get him checked out.
I'm just so thankful that I was still home and he wasn't home with DS by himself. I'm sure we're both going to be sore tomorrow from our acrobatics, but I'll take that over him having a concussion or going through our shower door anytime!
Also my dog too goes on high alert when MH is out of town, which was last night. She seemed so tense and stressed at every sound and even had a growling dream! I tried to tell her I can protect myself, but she was skeptical
DH slept on the couch last night, he says I was snoring. I only seem to snore when I'm pregnant. I don't feel too bad because he is usually the one to snore!
We had a nice quiet weekend, no inlaws of any sort, so that was awesome. DH is off on a business trip for the next couple of days. Hopefully I can use this time to get some stuff done, if my sciatic cooperates.
