cornflakegirl We did all those things too. I bought him a body pillow and a bed rail. We're going to put a mattress under his bed on the rare chance he still falls out, so he lands on that instead of the hardwood. There's nothing in the room that can hurt him and we'll have the monitor. We put a gate up to keep him away from the stairs if he comes out of his room. I do want to go through the play room (right outside his room) to make sure anything dangerous is out. Idk, I think it's just a me issue. My anxiety is getting bad again and I worry about everything. I told MH we would move him after we go through the play room stuff this weekend. Idk. Eta: Yes, he knows it's his room and he's v v v excited about it. He LOVES it. I'm sorry you're having so much anxiety over this. It sounds like his room is very safe and you've done everything you could to kid proof it. Maybe you can keep him just in his room for now? I ended up putting one of those plastic door knob covers so that he doesn't get out. FX that it stays on but he hasn't figured out how to open a door yet.

That sucks that someone hit your car notmoose! I hope they can see who did it.

notmoose, oh no! I hope they caught him on tape and the cops can get him. I got hit by a truck at a redlight a few months ago, and he sped off, but I got his license number and the cops wouldn't do anything. So mad.

He is a pro at door knobs unfortunately, so he can open his door. Maybe we'll try a knob cover!

Sorry about your truck notmoose. How frustrating! I hope they can catch the person’s license plate number. Also, regarding DS’s door, we have the contraption pictured below. You can latch the door when you want or choose to not utilize it, but it prevents them from being able to fully open the door from the inside when activated.

I've been having intermittent stomach pain that radiates into my back for a few days. It's bad enough that I have to stop what I'm doing. Waiting for my ob to call me back. It's not contractions and I don't have any other symptoms. My blood pressure is low so I don't think it could be pre-e.
I'm worried about my dad. His body is suddenly making too many red blood cells (polycythemia) and he has to have a pint of blood taken off every two weeks for a while. They think it might have been testosterone supplements that caused it, but they really aren't sure.
It sounds like DH and BIL will be doing dry wall in the basement this weekend. One step closer to getting things ready for the baby.

Yikes PennyCandy, glad you called the OB. I'll be curious what they recommend.

The nurse I talked to thinks it's indigestion. She told me to take Tums and Zantac and to call her back if that didn't help. I don't think that's it at all. It's happening during random times and that's not what it feels like, but I'll follow her instructions and call them back later today.

I woke up with a headache and ended up taking a Tylenol. Then my stomach started to hurt and I keep going to the bathroom. Not a good day!

Ugh...damn pregnancy hormones. DD has a field trip next Friday and last month brought home the permission slip and a paper about chaperones. I returned the paper the next day and went onto the school website to do the security clearance that you need to do to be a school volunteer. I never heard from the teacher so I asked this morning and was told that they have enough. So I am guessing the chaperones will be the few select moms who are always at the school doing crap. I was looking forward to going with her and when I read the response this morning, I called H in tears.

Unfortunately, if that’s it, they can’t so much until you have baby. I hope it’s as simple as tums and Zantac though.

It was like a combo of heartburn and indigestion that rocked me back on my heels and nothing helped it until it went away on its own. The pain started like a stomach ache and radiated to my back. Then i felt an exhaustion type pain in my torso muscles, like I had just worked out really hard. It was bizarre but it hasn’t come back since. I had some serious gas and constipation afterward, so I think for me it was just intense indigestion. I didn’t even think to call my OB ><

Ugh, I finally got my GTT results and failed 2 of 4 draws. One by just a hair (141 when normal is <140). Instead of noting in the results that they indicate GD, my doctor noted “Procedure Abnormality Status”. WTF does that mean? I may kill someone if they want me to take a third 3-hr test this pregnancy! Hopefully she just wants them to re-run the results for the borderline draw. I know fingerprick results can swing around 10pts even when done right after each other. All my other 3rd tri blood counts and tests came back perfectly normal, so that’s good.
After having GD my first two pregnancies, I fully expected to be diagnosed again, so I am happy that things look so close to normal. I really would love to not have to test my blood 4x a day and pay hundreds of dollars for testing strips.

I don't have a gallbladder so it's definitely not that. I'm just going to watch and wait for now and if it gets worse, I'll call back.

Pain that radiates up through my back to my jaw. It's insane. I hope you get some relief soon PennyCandy, whatever it is! Could it be a food sensitivity? I've developed a severe dairy intolerance this pregnancy. I was always slightly lactose intolerance, but nothing major, but if I cheat at all right now, I'm in so much pain.

It was at a super busy intersection, plus I had a car full of groceries, so I wasn't going to wait around.

If you haven't created an Amazon registry yet I recommend one for the welcome box. I did it solely for the completion discount and yesterday I received my welcome box. It's so much nicer than the target welcome box. Besides all the samples I received a muslin swaddle blanket, a cute elephant onesie, and a bandanna bib. I'm so impressed!

imapenguin - Here is the Amazon link to the product: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0035RQF54/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1notmoose - It's a door latch where you can control if the child can open their door or not. I figured it may be a good option for you guys at night if you didn't want him wandering around. That's what we used it for since DS's room is right next to the stair case. However, you can choose to release the latch or not and use the safeguard whenever you see fit.

I got mine the other day too and got a bandana bib and a cute A&A swaddle. I also recommend babylist for a free welcome box.
