So close to Friday...

[ginabini]

What's shakin ladies?

[ginabini]

New symptom of the day.... middle of the night leg cramps. Zero fun, sir.

[cocobellaf]

Ew, that sucks ginabini. Hope it lets up soon.

Yesterday, I finally hit a wall (physically). I had to have help coming home from work and then H or my mom had to be with me constantly. I couldn't use the bathroom or stand or walk without help. And then I dreamed that I was hemorrhaging because the placenta had moved the wrong way and covered the cervix completely, and the baby and I both died. I didn't tell H about my dream because he is paranoid, but ugh. We still have another month until they'll check the placenta on the U/S. Anxiety is really creeping back up on me.

[ellebelle]

I'm sorry cocobellaf. I wish they would give you an u/s sooner to help the anxiety. Hope things calm down soon.

[jenn83]

ginabini, cocobellaf, neither sound fun at all! +1 on the dreams of course mine last night was one of my friends weddings but before the ceremony it was like Alice in Wonderland running around during the Queen of Hearts scene. Um weird.

Oh and I literally threw a tantrum this morning when my husband woke me up to get ready for work. Like flop around in the bed tantrum. Sorry not sorry.

[cocobellaf]

jenn83, tantrums aren't a normal morning occurrence for you? Maybe I'm doing it wrong...

[TheTuna15]

ginabini, Get ye some potassium! Those Charlie horses are intense. Do not miss.

@cocbellaf, I'm sorry that's awful. How are you feeling today?

[ginabini]

cocobellaf I'm so sorry you're going through all that Hopefully your u/s date comes quickly for you. I would be super anxious, too.

[TheTuna15]

I worked last night. Money was good. Management was not. At least I don't need bail money.

[ginabini]

TheTuna15 bananas are the word of the day

DONE AND DONE!

I'm getting ready for my a/s. I'm probably the last person on this board to have the a/s. I'm due at the end of the month, and my OB's practice likes to wait until closer to 22 weeks because they say they get more accurate measurements that way. I would be protesting if we were finding out the sex, but since we are Team Green, I don't mind waiting. Looking forward to seeing the little one again.

[TheTuna15]

prvc678, GL at your A/S!

[lostinfaith225]

Aw! I am sorry cocobellaf!

Just breathe!

I am watching my daily dose of paw patrol so ds wears his patch.

[littlesthobo]

cocobellaf big hugs for you! I'm so glad that your mom and H were there to help you. I hope you get some answers and feel better soon.

Snow day for me! My school is closed because of an ice storm, so DS and I are home. This morning I managed to scrub down all the kitchen counters, cupboards and behind the stove.

Now DS and I are painting with watercolours and seemingly out of nowhere he had a massive tantrum: hitting, throwing things, screaming. Now he's back to painting nicely. I don't get toddlers.

[cabbagecabbage]

I'm going to Buy Buy Baby with my SIL today. She wants to buy me a gift! Then lunch. Oh, did I mention a 2yo, 3yo, and 4yo are coming too? This could get interesting but I'm still excited. I haven't been in a baby store yet this pregnancy thanks to amazon, zulily, and consignment.

[cavewmn]

So my husbands dream last night was him just unclogging a lot of toilets.



Yesterdays u/s went well. They just couldn't get one heart measurement. He would not roll over but at least now I know why my back pain has lightened up. Specialist thinks his feet are a mild case of BCF! This means hopefully we can skip any surgery and he won't be in casting for as long!!! 

I hate how one friend keeps trying to make BCF out like it is such an easy thing to do/deal with. I want to throat punch her. 

[cavewmn]

ginabini, Sorry about the leg cramps!

cocobellaf, ack! Take it easy! I know it won't ease your mind but most cases of placenta previa goes away by itself.

prvc678, GL today!

cabbagecabbage, So exciting!!!!

[tootsie]

Hey ladies! H and I had to go to a funeral 8 hours away, come home, now we are working a half day, then going on our babymoon! I'm so sick of driving already but can't wait to have a fun weekend with H.

[TnT10]

ginabini, sorry you are having leg cramping, I almost had one the other night. Those are no fun!

cocobellaf, hopefully time goes quickly until your next US. Bad dreams don't help anxiety, big hugs!

littlesthobo, toddlers are so crazy, and we think our mood swings are bad.

cavewmn, I am glad things looked good on your US and you got good news, that is great!

tootsie, have fun on your babymoon! I think I missed it, where are you going?

My random- I started freaking out last night that it's almost April and I have absolutely nothing done so far for this baby yet. I started going through DD's toys last night to try to clear out the baby room and have made a to-do list today. And I realized that I only have a little over 4 weeks left of second tri, so I thought that I should get on it. Holy cow, time is flying right by!

I'm so with you. We bought paint... but haven't painted baby's room yet. Picked out furniture, but haven't bought it yet. Anddd that's about it!

[ginabini]

cavewmn so glad you got good news from the specialist!

tootsie I'm jealoussss! Where are you headed?

It's the worst when you go into freak out mode!  I think it was initiated by H finally lighting the fire under his ass to get several home projects done that I have wanted to do forever.  We are going to install new ceiling lights in the entryway and kitchen, repair drywall in the entryway and bathroom, have popcorn on ceilings replaced with Spanish lace, and then we will have to repaint the whole house minus the bedrooms.  I thought that I should get started on the little things now before work starts on all of that so that I can help paint when I feel up to it.  It is going to be a lot of work but it will be worth it to feel like I can stand my house again.  Then hopefully in June/ early July we will redo flooring and carpet throughout the house.  I'm excited about it all, just kind of dreading all of the work it will take.  Oh well, here we go!  

[tootsie]

TnT10 and ginabini we are heading to Port Aransas, which is a beach town on the Gulf of Mexico. It's not super fancy, but we rented a little cabana and can't wait for a weekend away!

[mcktymck]

ginabini ugh, I'm sorry that you're having such a tough time right now. Just keep telling yourself that everything is fine, baby is fine, and try to do something that relaxes you. As for the dreams, those are so hard! DH has been having recurring nightmares lately and he refuses to tell me what they're about, but I'm pretty sure they're about me and/or the baby dying. I hope the anxiety lets up soon!

prvc678 have fun at your A/S!

littlesthobo welp, that story scares me haha. Glad to hear the tantrum didn't last long at least!

cavewmn that's great news!! I'm so glad to hear that he most likely will not need surgery, I'm sure it's such a relief for you

I woke up an hour earlier than my alarm due to my nose being so stuffed up, and I decided to start work early so that I can finish up sooner and get back to packing. I can't believe it's been a year and we're already moving out of this apartment, feels like we just moved across the country a couple months ago! We took a bunch of stuff over to my mom's last night and started setting our room (for the next couple months) up. It's a good thing DH and I love each other or else we'd probably kill each other because of the lack of space haha

Oh man, that is a ton of work! The process is so frustrating and long, but it will be so worth it in the end. I think I've convinced my H we need to de-wallpaper our room before baby arrives, so I'll be in the same boat as you. Gotta keep your eye on the prize

[cavewmn]

Also last night my little dog Jubi decided to use me has a great landing spot. Luckily it was my upper body but man do my intestines(I think) hurt today.

Sounds amazingggg! Have so much fun! 

[jewelsofthenile]

I feel like i have been playing catchup all week. My kid has been fighting sleep all week and my husband got her to bed at 7 last night. So i got to shower organize and unpack the maternity clothes i am borrowing from my sister and watch the walking dead last night. I finally felt like i could relax for a little bit and have a whole new wardrobe.

littlesthobo my toddler does similar things especially if something she is playing with is frustrating her.
