Last night I woke up with a stabbing pain in my upper abdomen- it's like a ripping feeling. I was up for a couple hours after this. Then I finally fell back to sleep and had the strangest dream. In my dream, my baby was pushing his face/head through my stomach, and my skin was so stretched and thin I could almost see his face. Pregnancy is weird!
Sleep is so hard. Today we have a play date with a friend which will be so nice. But it is supposed to be almost 90 here. Too hot for this girl! Give me back spring!!
I slept like garbage. I woke up at 4 and my hip hurt from laying on that side. I think this is going to be a reoccurring pattern the next 7 weeks. I can't stop thinking about pbandj714 and hoping those babies stay in there a little longer. Also making it very real how close we all are to seeing our babies. My doctor said yesterday, "well you still have seven weeks." I said, more like I only have seven weeks!
I think Wisconsin finally decided to bring us some spring. All my tulips are blooming and the sun is out. It's going to be a beautiful day. I might be working from my deck today
So I'm pretty sure I broke my toe last night. I was following DS and he stopped suddenly and I kicked the back of his heel. My bottom knuckle won't bend, it's swollen and bruised and hurts like crazy still.
Hi ladies! I have another day full of meetings but wanted to stop by in between to say hello and let you know I've been creepy lurking the past few days in between work emergencies and meetings.
Also, in between the work craziness I had to get my brakes replaced so I currently have a loaner car - a brand new Toyota Highlander. For a loaner, it's pretty sweet!
mladerri, only 7 weeks is right! A woman in the elevator yesterday told me you still have a ways to go and I thought are you crazy lady?! June is barreling down on me!
We had our welcoming your newborn home class yesterday... DH was so cute - he was taking notes on everything and intensely practicing his diaper skills.
It is still sore. I asked my doctor about it last week. She said it was kind of high for it to be the baby. I'm thinking it is just things being stretched out. I probably moved funny while sleeping. It's uncomfortable to sit at times.I skipped the gym again today. I'm terrible at describing pain too.
The floors are done! We move back into our house this evening after work. I can't WAIT to be back in my own bed. I'm exhausted just thinking about all the cleaning and work that the house needs... But for now, I'm just so happy to be out of the rental - I don't care!
Sorry about your toe sandandsea! I broke mine in an almost identical way several years ago. I hope it gets better soon!
Good luck at your meetings soultrane! I had some work done on my car a few months back and got a brand new loaner. I'm convinced it's all a ploy to get us to buy a new car!
That's so cute titania! I had to keep nudging MH awake at ours...
I hope that pain goes away Kevinmac are you having a stomach growth spurt? I'm no expert but what you describe sounds like something I felt a couple weeks ago and I was really popping at the time, I think you're right about just stretching.
cattuccino my always tries to drink my cereal milk so I think he'd be on board with the milk soaked food. Hopefully didn't make either of you sick tho!
bighair12, I know this sounds crazy, but I'd love 90 degree weather! I really love summer time and summer weather. We don't get enough of it in the NE and summers always fly by. DH hates extreme heat, but I love it.
I am stressing over nailing down the exact start date of my leave at work. I don't know why it's this hard. My boss is nice and I have a temp starting on Monday so I just need to pull the trigger with HR and start the paperwork.
I get panicky about money, even though we're lucky enough to have savings to cover it I hate how it gives me such anxiety thinking about it. So I'm over here psychoanalyzing excel spreadsheets with different start date scenarios this morning.

Kevinmac, that pain is THE WORST. I've had it for about a month. My doc said it is scar tissue from my CS tearing as everything expands. I also had it in my first pregnancy and it was Diastasis Recti. Lovely. I hope yours is just growing pains!
sandandsea, ouch! Tape it to a buddy toe and invest in some comfy sandals!
I am so excited - the mattress we ordered for the guest room arrived yesterday. DH and FIL are picking up the board I need to lay over the slats for the mattress, which means I GET TO SLEEP IN A REAL BED TONIGHT!!!!!!! I've been on the couch forever. There is much rejoicing.

I buddy taped it this morning and am wearing my croc ballets today. All shoes and walking kill, so I think if I make it through today I'll probably WFH tomorrow to avoid walking. It's the toe next to my big toe so I can't even wear flip flops because the strap touches it.
Happy Thursday ladies! Thinking of you pbandj714. I just cancelled the grooming appointment for one of our dogs. She did NOT have a good time at the vet yesterday and also started some new antibiotics for a tick born illness she tested positive for (not Lyme, thank goodness.) She seems off today and she isn't a big fan of baths, so I just decided it wasn't worth it. She can look like a grubby mess for a couple more weeks. A couple days ago I used a deglossing chemical on a door we are painting. I should have let DH do it but he was at work and I was impatient. I was safe about it, wore a mask and everything! Except I totally forgot to put on gloves. Today I looked at the hand I used and realized the top layer of skin is all peeling... Sorry baby, I hope I didn't kill any of your brain cells by absorbing a bunch of chemicals.

Yeah, I have definitely started looking pregnant now and popped. I'm carrying high too, so I'm sure it's all related.
I maaay have a touch of pregnancy pica. I just opened a new scotch brite sponge to do dishes and it smells like bleach and I really, really want to chew on it. I did go through a stage as a kid where I loved chewing on clean, wet washcloths. Probably not surprising it popped up again now.

soultrane, So sorry for your toe! As someone who's been hobbling around on a sprained ankle all week while nearly 8 months pregnant, I feel your pain. Sending quick-healing wishes to you!
So, I think third trimester is finally catching up with me. Today I have swollen feet, terrible heartburn, aching hips, and shortness of breath while doing basically anything. I blame my bum ankle and the associated lack of all physical activity. *sigh*
frecklesnbrains hope the ankle heals soon and hopefully you can start feeling all around better!!
vivela at least paper towels are probably less calories than the pounds of sugar I will consume through out my day...
And here comes a total bitchfest from me. Today has been a rough day. DH has been sick for 2 weeks with a cold and I woke up with a sore throat... Thanks DH.
My classroom has been beyond out of control today. My co teacher had a mental break down and our assistant is out sick. I was stuck working with 2 teachers who don't know anything about my room or even the age group and then of course my clueless boss came to "help". I'm done with the day and I have hours left to go.
Also I heard that DS got bit today. I know it's completely age appropriate and I am not so much upset that he got bit but am down right pissed off at how they handled the situation. Since he goes to daycare at my work I know way more details than I should but still. I'm even more angry that this child is known to be aggressive but nothing will ever be said or done about it because she is the child of one of the much higher ups in the company I work for.
Argh! I wish I could say at least tomorrow is Friday and I leave early but I know tomorrow will suck too as I have a wake to go to. One of my best friends dads passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. We have to go to support my friend but we did not know his dad well and I am not typically a crier but know I am going to end up crying because of crazy pregnancy hormones. Ok vent over.
I took DS to The aquarium today and we had a great time. We have a season pass so I wanted to use it again before the baby comes. We are going to the zoo with some friends tomorrow! It finally stopped raining… I think it will rain again in a few days but I am glad that there will be a few days for everything to dry out! It's so wet outside!
This sleep thing is ridiculous. I probably wake up every hour in the night. I do remember appreciating waking up every three hours once DS was born because at least I was comfortable, so maybe it is just preparing all of us for that!
I'm in this crazy nesting mode, but that there are so many things I should wait to do for a few more weeks. I think I packed bags by 34/35 weeks last time, but I will probably wait a few more weeks.
The weather is gorgeous here, and my parents are in town! I'm super excited and happy today. I'm having all the feels though because it's my dad's 60th birthday (that feels so old even though he's in great shape) and they are having a blast with DD. Seeing them with her is one of the most amazing things. It makes me so sad that we don't live closer though....I really need to be closer to them. I'm happier when they are around!
We made it home from the park and DD is napping. I am currently psyching myself up for soccer tonight. I am hoping that Dd will cooperate. I am bribing her with getting ice cream if she participates and listens to the coach. MOTY.
Pretty sure baby has flipped from head down to head in my right rib cage. So much pain.
