Do you know why they chose to do transvaginal, cake? I don't think I've ever had one after first tri, so I'm just curious.

I just had the quickest appointment ever. My appointment was for 9:00. It’s 9:12 and I am already heading out. that should help make up for the disaster of apt you had last time!

No new bump pics for me... I did get the rest of our maternity pictures and we got some good ones, I want to get one printed out for our gallery wall but I'm not sure which one yet. Yesterday I did my best to drink more liquids and I could tell a difference last night since I got up TWICE to pee in the span of 60 minutes. Seriously... Then I couldn't get back to sleep for awhile and didn't want to get up. I have two days of work left for this year, today and tomorrow! Woohoo!!! Our bathroom remodel *should* be done today, and if not today tomorrow so by Friday we should be all moved back in and things back to "normal" and I can continue on with my nesting. I'm going to wrap some Christmas presents this morning while DH isn't here, and hopefully I'll be able to get a nap in later today since while I'm working there is no actual work for me to do. I don’t know how you’ve been surviving with your bathroom remodel. We just repainted our upstairs bathroom (2 coats of everything... ceiling, trim, doors, and walls) and it took us like 2 days and I was going out of my MIND with having everything in other rooms and it all being a complete mess

Question, I had an ultrasound yesterday which included a trans vaginal one for the first time. I’ve had a small amount of pink spotting today and a bit of cramping. Is this normal? Google tells me it is but I thought I’d check with all of you and see if I need to call in. I have felt a decent amount of movement today. yes that’s normal. Every time I’ve had a TV u/s I’ve had light pink spotting and slight cramping. They always warn me ahead of time too that that could happen and to not freak out. Your cervix is super sensitive right now with high blood flow to it.

Very normal cake. I would never say not to call if you are concerned, but my cervix is super wimpy and I always spot after a tv u/s. If it continues for a long period of time calling can’t hurt, however.

And they were $12 on Black Friday. Perfect timing bc maternity pants all fall down bc they're too small.

I collected 50 essays on Monday and I have no idea how I am going to grade them. My focus is beyond shot. I just tried to get through a couple and I keep basically “coming to” staring at a wall and realizing I’ve been lost in space for five minutes. I’m hoping this is just a rough couple days and I get it together, because I really don’t want to grade them over winter break!

Thanks everyone! I had never had one done before and wasn’t warned that there could be side effects so was just a bit worried. Starting to feel better now

I wish that was the case. This was an appointment at the hospital. My OBs office is where there is always a wait. I have her tomorrow. My appointment is at 10:30. I don’t expect to get out of there until at least noon.

I am SO sore right now. DD kept asking to go over Nonni’s house (my MIL) so she gladly took her for the morning. She was gone from 10-12:45 and I was able to get ALL my freezer meals done PLUS dinner for tonight!! Much excite! My freezer stash of meals for post-baby now consists of:
3 stuffed shells 3 meatloaf 3 broccoli cheddar chicken pasta bake 3 chicken Tex mex casserole Plus ones I’ve been making over the past week or 2: 2 lamb shepherds pies 2 chicken pot pies 1 chicken Marsala 1 tortellini soup
My nesting self is SO happy about this

I had a regular one last week and the woman doing it was surprised she could see my cervix!

Wow, amesie! That is impressive. My mom retires from her job this week and I'm hoping she'll start taking E once a week after school for a few hours each week and I might try to use that time for working on getting meals in the freezer too!

I don’t know how you’ve been surviving with your bathroom remodel. We just repainted our upstairs bathroom (2 coats of everything... ceiling, trim, doors, and walls) and it took us like 2 days and I was going out of my MIND with having everything in other rooms and it all being a complete mess I'm surprised I haven't lost it on him. He got the backsplash grouted, the mirror installed and most of the closet shelving installed today, then he left about 10 minutes ago to go shopping with his brother. WTF?!?! Still needs to be done: install 2 doors, install 4 door knobs, hang two cabinet door fronts and knobs, install baseboards in closet, corner of bedroom & piece of the hallway, install the vanity cabinet shelves, and 3 floor thresholds... Oh, and hang my make-up mirror and two shoe shelves in the closet. If he would just put in a full day of work it would probably be done in about 8-10 hours. I bet you anything he isn't done tomorrow either, he seems to be in no hurry. But I was able to hang some things in the closet to get some boxes out of the way and empty out the guest room closet. We are getting closer and it will be beautiful when he is done. I've gone a little nuts at different times because of the mess, but now that most of his gear is gone it isn't as bad. Frustrating, but not as bad as it has been.

I collected 50 essays on Monday and I have no idea how I am going to grade them. My focus is beyond shot. I just tried to get through a couple and I keep basically “coming to” staring at a wall and realizing I’ve been lost in space for five minutes. I’m hoping this is just a rough couple days and I get it together, because I really don’t want to grade them over winter break! I'm right there with ya. I collected 80 final reflections papers on top of 25 papers from another class. I hate to but I started skimming them because I'd lose focus.

ajetter sorry for the grubby picture, the recipe gets used a lot it’s a very simple yummy recipe and it’s pretty moist. I usually mix it as it calls for but then separate it into 2 separate loaves and freeze one since a 2lb loaf is way too big for us 3 to eat, and I think I bake it for like 45ish min ETA the “c” with the line over it means “with”... sorry, nurse documentation short hand

If you need me I'm just over here icing my lady bits. After sitting at the table (on a donut pillow) for 10 minutes I had to whimper as I hobbled to my recliner. He has to come a bit early or I may just cry every day.

Online shopping is so convenient.... Between Kohl's and GAP I have leggings, yoga pants, camisoles (that I will hack into nursing cami's) two nursing tops and some underwear heading my way...
