I'm 30 weeks today. Almost can't believe it! I have been trying to take advantage of the fact that my sciatic pain seems to have gone away and have gotten some big projects crossed of my list. There's still a lot to do, but seems much More manageable:)
I'm irritated this morning. I had an 8am ob appt today - first appt of the day so I should have been out of there by 8:30 at the latest! By 8:25 I still hadn't been called back. Yeah, they scheduled me with a doctor who wasn't there today and didn't bother to tell me that when I checked in. In fact, they didn't realize their error until I went back up to check what was taking so long. What should have been a pretty quick appt lasted an hour and a half!
On the bright side, even though I was ridiculously late for work after waiting so long, I figured I had earned a Dunkin Donuts iced coffee. It's my first one of the spring so it's extra delicious!

Good luck glucose test takers! Still haven't heard my results. Still eating all the Easter candy.
This morning DD took her guilt game up a notch, and it was hard. Slash I was also kinda proud of her for all of the complete sentences. It was a whole thing of, "No [nanny's name], I want you to stay home. I want daddy to stay home," followed by a semi-meltdown of "I wanna come with youuuuu" over and over when we explained we couldn't stay.
She was fine once she had waffles. H actually did I good job of explaining work to her and why we need to go, while I just looked sad, ha.
I am studying this morning and then will pick up DD for nap at home. I am hoping to study more during nap. I am on call tonight and really not in the mood!
manybellsdown, those mornings are the worst and it's so hard to explain to a little one why we have to go to work so kudos to your H! It definitely tears at the heart strings though and amps up the mom guilt. We usually tell DS that it's his job to go to daycare and play and it's our job to go to work. I'm glad the waffles made her morning better!

Confession: I may go out later today to buy, and then eat, an entire bag of Cadbury mini eggs just in case I get a call from my OB that I failed my glucose test. I neeeeeeeeeeeeed chocolate!
I really hate when people who are not doing a good job at their own tasks start complaining about other people not doing their tasks correctly. It's like the adult version of tattling. Just worry about getting your own shit done and I'll decide who needs a talkin to about their job performance. Grrr I'm grumpy today!

YES!!!
ETA: My favorite line to use is "Focus on what you can control!" Not just at work, but in life - I use it with DH all the time when he starts getting whiny about work stuff. Stop worrying about what everyone else is doing/not doing and focus on your own life.
soultrane , I'm going to steal that line from you... that is a great little mantra!
It's one of the best pieces of advice I've ever received because it's so true and it applies to almost everything, and a lot of people lose sight of that.
Add me to the glucose test takers. It did not go well. The drink was fine and everything but like 5 minutes after she did the blood draw I got really light headed and almost passed out. I did the draw laying down and even had juice to try to combat the potential of that happening. This exactly what happened with DD when I failed (and hasn't happened during any blood draw in between), so that's my expectation. Oh well, it's not so scary since I did it before and it wasn't so bad. The doctor did say well you'll get the results tomorrow but you'll have a free pass for Easter weekend because we won't have the blood testing kits and stuff ready for you yet I'm glad she was on the page I was already on!
As for the inside baby, she was loving all the sugar and the doctor had to chase her around my belly to get a heart rate. She kept catching it for a second then it would move....it was funny and we were both laughing.

Do it!!! I know plenty of tricks to squeeze chocolate in even if you fail though. I'm experienced

Ugh, today sucks. DH tells me last night that I need to do drop off this morning, which adds an hour to my commute. I stayed up until midnight working Monday night and last night and am exhausted already. Then, the OB calls to tell me I failed the 1 hour glucose test miserably and have to do the 3 hour one. I'm also low on iron and have to start taking another iron supplement. I'm feeling very down about it and feel like the potential GD is all my fault. I've googled it for the past 2 hours and I know it's not my fault and that having a hypothyroid is probably a significant contributing factor, but it still sucks.
ETA: DS was super excited I took him to school today and he has his first soccer practice of the season tonight so he woke up super happy and tonight should be fun for him.
Sorry sandandsea. Feel your pain on both iron and 3 hour. The added tiny iron pill is nothing along side the prenatal vitamin. 3 hour stinks but I'm hoping you pass with flying colors. Good luck!!
24 hours of antibiotics and the pain in my face has subsided which is what I needed. I'm fully stuffed up and coughing but as long as the pain is gone I'm a happy little clam.
My mom and I just washed and hung up all my newborn- 3 month clothes. They are so small and cute and I just sat there happily thinking how much money I'm saving on clothes having another boy. Thanks baby ds basically told my mom and sister baby's name. They both love it which makes me happy but I wanted it to be a surprise. I knew it was inevitable they'd find out since ds says baby's name 10+ times a day. Oh well they'd find out In a couple months anyway.

Yeah, I had to take Slow FE last time and was sure to get a prenatal with iron this time to hopefully prevent the anemia this time. No such luck. I'm already taking 4 pills/day so adding another daily pill seems overboard! SYnthroid, prenatal, Vit. D, and baby aspirin. I'm ready for pre-preg days of BCP and synthroid only!
I feel your pain sandandsea, I go in for my 3 hour tomorrow. I have thyroid issues as well, I didn't realize that could contribute. Super stressed that it is going to be awful. Hopefully it goes more quickly than I expect it to. I'm trying to make a meal that will leave me only kind of starving at 7am and won't screw up my blood sugar too much. I think I'm going to do a big salad with lots of veggies and chicken.
Work sucks right now. Because of state testing I had to jam two essays into two weeks (I had to do both because of collecting data for teacher evals and our common core units). The kids are miserable and I'm bored and facing waaaay too much grading in the next couple weeks. And we are giving the state testing this coming week, which means I have to stand in a silent room for three hours a day for 6 days. We aren't even allowed to read or grade Apparently I'm whiney today. Don't mind me!
