Trying to catch up during nap time....

pbandj714, I am so glad your shower went well! Taco bar and cake sounds soon delicious right now even though I just ate. Did you get anything fun?!

babyzebra, It sounds like you have two good options but stressful to choose! That's unfortunate that the other place doesn't have a spot until January. I go back and forth about more play/more structure for two year olds. I was reading a book about toddler discipline/management this week and it was talking about the importance of play and not having a ton of structure-so that got me thinking about that also (I think the pre-k DS is going to next year is pretty well balanced, but I didn't go to any other places to compare, honestly).

GOmamab15, I hope your sonogram goes well, let us know!

nymama917, Sorry about the GD, but it sounds like you have a great and reasonable doctor and yay for extra sonograms!

My randoms for today:

-I had this weird incident this morning where my vision went really blurry for about 10 minutes. I was sitting with a bunch of people and didn't want to make a big deal, so I kind of just waited and it did eventually go away. I wasn't seeing "black spots" or anything like they say is typical of pre-e. Thankfully, I have a regular OB appt tomorrow, so I'll mention it, but it was just weird. I was seriously considering how I was going to drive home, and then it went away.

-How is everyone feeling about sex this late in pregnancy? I feel terrible, but I am so not into it. We couldn't have sex for two months because of placenta previa, so we are some now since very soon we won't be able to postpartum, but I just feel so "bleh" about it-probably just this uncomfortable stage of pregnancy. Just wanted to see where everyone else is with that, ha!

txmommy14, I have zero interest in sex, and have not for most of the pregnancy. I stopped having orgasms entirely (which is very unusual for me, excuse the TMI). I think it's hormonal more than related to the size of my belly. And the increased blood flow makes me super-sensitive to the extent that it's actually a bit painful. My poor DH tried for a while but has just given up recently. We haven't had sex in about a month.

Also, definitely call your OB if the vision problem comes back! I'm glad it went away though.

[nymama917]

txmommy14 - not interested in it. Not at all. Every once in a while I'll get the feeling like eh I could do it tonight but then my husband doesn't bring it up (because he's given up) and I'm too lazy to initiate myself. The last time I nursed I was not interested the entire time either so my poor poor husband. I'll have to try the fake it til you make it motto and hope it works.

[2dogs2kids]

txmommy14 I am not interested at all. I feel bad for DH but it's hard to get into it when I feel so grossed out about my body and just being beyond exhausted 24/7.

[bighair12]

txmommy14, we have been on pelvic rest most of my pregnancy. Between the spotting from when I got my BFP through 16 weeks. Then being diagnosed with accreta all sex has been lost.

[txmommy14]

I am so relieved that I'm not the only one!!

[pbandj714]

txmommy14, lots of cute outfits, a huge giftcard, and some crocheted blankets that are gorgeous!! It's overwhelming how generous everyone is!

As for sex, nahhh. Not feeling it. I, too, have fleeting thoughts of wanting it but it's always when DH isn't home or is busy and I don't bother letting him know later. Poor guy.

[babyzebra]

Not much sex over here either. I think I should initiate soon though because I feel bad for DH. When I get to 37-38 weeks though I will definitely be having all the sex.

[sandandsea]

My feet are totally swelling today. Time to sit back at my desk and prop them up so I can put my shoes on to go home later. Said shoes are super cute and new and I bought a size up due to PG and they are tight.

I had a giant cookie after lunch and feel gross now.

[babyzebra]

txmommy14 I would definitely mention that to your OB to rule out pre-e. Both during this pregnancy and during my first I get something kind of similar to what you're describing where my vision gets blurry and I feel like the room is spinning. Mine is due to low blood sugar, so I usually eat something right away and I feel better in a few minutes. Just something else to consider other than pre-e or other random pregnancy causes.

[GOmamab15]

TMI Re:sex drive, for some reason I've been using my vibrator more but having sex less. Poor DH.

[happyday]

We've been having pretty regular sex. My O is easier when I'm pregnant for whatever reason this time around. We are having to be more creative... But it's working well.

And with dd1 we didn't have much sex, but did it twice during my 39th week trying to jump start labor.

[Flair Underwood]

I took sweatpants to work today. I made until 1:09 before I gave up and put them on

As far as sex, I'd be for it but DH isn't terribly interested. He doesnt have a huge sex Drive to begin with, so he's fine. but we did find some really comfortable positions the last time so I don't felt like a damned whale. I offer up blown jobs and he is all for that - so I'm content with that arrangement.

[woodengirl07]

Add me to the no-sex club. I was on pelvic rest for a long time and now I have zero interest. I feel bad for poor hubby but not bad enough to initiate anything, lol, and he's given up. Once we have our induction date I might try to do it a few times for his sake since once she's born it will off the table again for a while.

[mladerri]

Just finished a 12 hour work day. Man o man I'm tired. I got a Greek salad and carrot cake muffin from panera and now in chilling in my hotel room relaxing. So weird not to have to take care of a child and to focus on myself. I did FaceTime with ds and it is really hard. I miss that little guy and he keeps asking when I'm coming home to play with him... 6 more days buddy.

I don't know what's in me, but my sex drive is crazy this pregnancy. I initiate sex almost every time. It is now becoming a little harder with my giant belly but the urge is still there. I know this won't last much longer so I'll enjoy it while i can.

[vivela]

No sex here either... I would, but DH is completely weirded out by the whole tiny human in my torso thing. I mean, I get it, but it takes sex off the table for a LONG time. But I'm perfectly willing to take care of myself and he can do the same if he's gonna be all squeamish
txmommy14 I hope the blurry vision is nothing! A coworker of mine had her vision go out twice during her last pregnancy. They tested for all kinds of things but never found a reason.
So DH brought the heavy package in, but left it on the floor right by the door and didn't unpack it. And he wonders why I feel like I have to micromanage. I sent him a text reminding him that the package is heavy because the stuff inside it is heavy... He promises to unpack it tonight. Hopefully I don't wake up to all the pet food in a pile next to the cardboard box.

[athn64]

We had sex a month ago? I think? Anyways, I've been having major pelvic pains so the thought of getting it on with DH just is unappealing.

[GOmamab15]

The ultrasound went well. He's really cute. We won't know the info on the size of his kidneys for a couple of days. hb was 135 and measuring right on track just over 3lbs.

I've been getting spurts of sharp lower back pain kinda randomly. Yesterday it was so bad I couldn't walk for a few minutes. Today when it happened I just took a short break from walking and then powered through it. If it keeps happening daily I'll have to talk to my dr.

I am home with DD today. We have made muffins, played games, and gotten dressed. We are heading to meet up with her class for her field trip. I am already worn out.

Have you ladies watched catastrophe? It's on Amazon prime. It is hilarious.

Thanks for the recommendation on Catastrophe. I binged watched the first 4 episodes tonight and really like it. I so related to the scene where she lays down in the grocery store.
