dashook, Oh no!! I think soda is giving me heartburn, now. I never had heartburn with my other two kids so I'm disappointed I'm not avoiding it this time around. Ugh It is such an awful feeling! Fortunately Tums seems to be effective for me (now that I can take it again; I couldn’t for a while because of the calcium!). I know some women have to get prescription strength stuff during pregnancy so I count myself lucky.

My grandma wore me out this morning! Took her with her walker and oxygen for a haircut and a shopping trip at JoAnn fabrics. She was so excited it was worth being tired, sore, out of breath, and having to nap the rest of the day away lol! Tonight we pick her up from dialysis. Realizing that sooner or later I'll probably have to stop taking her places, both of us hobbling through the snow and ice is a little much!

I had a dream I was participating in an intense cake walk. It doesn’t get any more pregnant than that 😂

The 3rd trimester fatigue has hit me like a ton of bricks. I'm barely making it through the day each day.

notagoddess, You are not alone! I'm ready for bed by 5 every afternoon. It sucks so much, I can't stand it. I have no idea how the house is going to get cleaned, how groceries will be fetched, or how I'm finishing Christmas shopping. Also, has anyone seen this peri bottle???? I think I may buy it and forgo the hospital supplied one.... Clicky!

I'm with you ladies. For every day of productivity, I'm knocked out for two days. @amc you have so much on your plate with the move, I bow to you doing it right now. thelittleredm that's exactly my list, I just don't know how it is all going to get done. Plus my pregnancy brain is in high gear so I can't even remember what I'm supposed to do if I did have the energy to do it! ...and I should be in bed right now.

@amc I’m exhausted just reading your post. Glad you all made it there safely and hope all your stuff makes it soon so y’all can start getting everything unpacked and put up. Moving is so tough, especially when super pregnant! I did it at 36 weeks with DD and I didn’t have other children to keep alive and happy so I feel for you!! Hugs! thelittleredm hope you’re able to catch up on some rest and check some things off your to do list today! Tonight is MHs work holiday party. I’m not exactly looking forward to it considering it starts at 7 and we probably won’t be leaving until after 9 so while everyone else is getting drunk I’ll be counting down the minutes 🤷🏼♀️ It’s also the first time we’re leaving DD with a neighbor/friend for more than an hour. She loves the lady who’s coming to watch her but she’s never had anyone besides us and her grandmothers put her to bed so I hope it goes well.

@amc, I am right there with you. We just moved down the road, but I am exhausted and feel like my life is in shambles. I am feeling really panicked about not having things set up at the new house before baby arrives. I am so worn out.

I have third exhaustion too. It came out of no where. I only have 3 weeks left until his EDD!! It's blowing my mind. My dr sent me home with labor instructions yesterday at my appointment. I guess it's getting real!

Was feeling down on myself for having no energy again all of a Sudden and getting nothing done around the house.... It's good to know this is normal third trimester! Back to napping every day or paying the price!
DH work party tonight as well, trying to rest up so I can feel cute and peppy later ha.

I am so worn out by the end of the week. It doesn't help that our weekends have been busy and I'm trying to fit in fun holiday activities with the kids. Also while I am glad they are monitoring me so closely, twice weekly appointments are wearing me out. I dont PTO time and I have to try and get the first appointment and go in a little late or the last one and leave a little early. So far no one at work has said anything but I don't want to take advantage of everyone being so understanding.

Another one who is tired AF! I’m struggling so hard by the end of the week. Our weekends have been packed with Holiday parties, and while I’m usually down for a good time I’m just not feeling it.

Today has been kinda productive? I was awake a whole 2 hours before H put DS2 down for a nap and I took one, too. I got some gifts wrapped and purchased, my parents took us to Sam's to get pet food and some groceries, and I did some dishes. House is still a disaster but I'm done. Just watching Netflix, now.

Regarding heartburn.... I haven’t had it too badly lately. I had it more in the 2nd for some reason. I’m wondering for those who already have kids, was there any truth to that old wive’s tale that heartburn means a lot of hair? I had a ton and so did MH when we were born. I expected this little guy will have a lot too but maybe not?

@strwberrykiki, I had zero heartburn with my boys and they both had a full head of hair. DS2 had thicker hair.

I expected this little guy will have a lot too but maybe not? Ds1 - no heartburn and no hair Ds2 - bad heartburn after 35 weeks and a full head of very long, blonde hair Ds3- heartburn is soo bad, worse than ds2...we will see about the hair in a couple weeks!

So it happened again. I was in the kitchen in the middle of baking cookies and I look down and I see a pair of my underwear on the floor 🤔. My fat ass busted another pair and they fell off and out of my pants onto the floor 😂. I can’t make this shit up.

k, OMG. Lol That is so awful and wonderful all at the same time 😂😂😂 Yeah I definitely had to take a cookie baking intermission bc I was laughing so hard. no more wearing that style of underwear. I’m glad it didn’t happen at work, but probably wouldn’t haven’t fallen out if I hadn’t been wearing loose sweat pants.

Lol k I love it! Time to go shopping. 😉 Both my boys didn't have much hair and I didn't have much heartburn. John's Hopkins did a study and actually did find that high levels of estrogen and certain hormones relax the sphincter at the bottom of the esophagus and allow for more heartburn, and those same elevated levels are attributable to hair growth. 🤷 Very likely a correlation, not causation but who knows! I fully expect this poor baby to be bald for a while though. Poor thing. I don't even know why I'm buying bows. My ILs are here and I survived the holiday celebration, all meal prep completed successfully and I tried to make it special for them. DH was paged at 5 a.m. and I didn't get back to sleep after so I'm wiped. Neighborhood cookie party tomorrow evening! At least all the baking is done.

Woke up with bed bug bites from my bed again. I am so sickened and discouraged. Thought we were done with this. I can't even. DH is going to be so unhappy about all the work starting again... It's really hard on his back to deal with vacuuming every nook and cranny repeatedly (he's had multiple surgeries including a fusion). It's not rational but at the moment this bed bug thing feels like the worst thing to ever happen. I wouldn't mind shelling out the cash for whole house heat treatment but the thought of all the prep work for it is so overwhelming when is exhausting just to get through a normal day with a couple naps...
Ok trying to reframe with a better attitude. We are so blessed when there's people stuck in terrible rental situations with true infestations they can't do anything about...

sunshiney, Bed bugs are the worst. They take forever to get rid of completely and it sucks that you're having to deal with them at all! Every time I get a bug bite at home, the irrational part of me freaks out about it being bed bugs even though I know it isn't. Damn things leave you emotionally scarred -.-
