I want to know all about the duct cleaning too rebeccabunch! sarahh we need to do the wall insulation too. Not this year but in the near future I think. I forget what state you're in but I recently leaned there are some state sponsored programs for it! (Not where I live, unfortunately). But friends in Massachusetts got a quote for $5500 to do their house and Mass has a program where they will pay 75%. So my friend is laying less than $2k to do the whole house!!!

I'll have to look into that. I'm in NC. I'm sure it's more northern states that have the programs though. That would be awesome if it was here.

benandjerrys, it looks like my state has it but only for low income families so we wouldn't qualify. I probably need to get a couple of quotes sometime in 2018 and see what the actual cost is going to be. Luckily we have a drywall guy and a paint guy that are really reasonable so the fixing of the walls after shouldn't be too crazy. I think the issue is that the walls have a fire barrier so they will have to make holes at the top and the bottom to blow in the insulation.

They can also take a clapboard off the exterior and then replace it when done so no holes!

Welllll I'm back in L&D for monitoring. DS bolted on me towards the park when I got him home from daycare. I slipped on the hill on fresh snow. Landed hard on my pelvis. I can barely take a step without getting tears in my eyes. Obviously the OB wanted to monitor me for a few hours. Nothing she can really give me for the pain of course. This sucks.

Just got back from my 30w appt. First, I peed on my hand instead of the cup (thanks to bulky winter clothes and being uncoordinated). Then, I'm measuring 1-2 weeks behind, just like the last appointment. Hoping it's just due to error. I have a growth scan in two weeks but I'll worry until then. I'm also getting concerned about the amount of sugar I'm consuming. Let's just say it's a lot. Damn holidays and delicious cookies.

I had my appointment today and the doctor blew off my concerns about baby positioning and said baby was head down without doing a quick ultrasound check. He basically said all the doctors that said she was breech were idiots. I don't know what to think and I'm really conflicted, so I booked an elective ultrasound for tomorrow so I don't lose my shit over this all weekend. My first elective ultrasound in 3 pregnancies but hopefully it is worth it for some peace of mind.

Ugh I’m so annoyed. TWO babies of people I know were just born this month and both were named Lilah/Lyla... we were going with the spelling Lila, but still, it’s the same name. Now I’m really bothered and annoyed by using that name. They’re not people I ever see, but it’s bothering me that it’s local and the name is gaining popularity. I don’t want her to a) having to be spelling her name for people her entire life since there’s apparently 193847273 spellings of the name, and b) be 1 of 72823 Lila/Lilah/Lyla’s in her class
I really wish MH would come around to Chloe. I like that name so much better anyway and I don’t know 1 single Chloe.

That is dumb that they may have stressed you out for nothing. It is possible she may have flipped as well. That happened to a friend who is due around the same time who doesn't post here. I hope your elective ultrasound confirms she is head down.

peachesncream my OB swore DD was head down the entire time. At 37 weeks I told him "I just don't think she is." He reluctantly gave me an u/s and confirmed my suspicion. That mother's intuition is real. I definitely think you're doing the right thing.

I hope your elective ultrasound confirms she is head down. I had a u/s at 28 weeks where she was confirmed to be breech and I asked at my last 2 appointments (32 and 34 weeks) and two separate doctors guessed by palpation that she was still breech. Today at 36 weeks was supposed to be the confirmation ultrasound but my doc didn't bother with it if she is breech I would need to do a version next week so I want to know ASAP but I will be completely thrilled if she flipped! It is just weird because nothing has changed with the location of her movement so I assumed she was still breech.

I now seriously understand why people sleep with their kids or let them stay up late. Fx for a good night, which involves no crying, climbing into bed with us at 3 am, or 2 hours of trying to get M to sleep in his room without me (MOTN) to just give up.

Update: I was discharged after a couple hours. Baby was great, lots of movement and strong heart rate. Apparently, I am having contractions every 7-10 minutes picked up on the monitor. They aren't really uncomfortable so I'll take that as practice. The pain with every step takes my breath away. I cannot imagine going into labor while trying to heal from this. I'm now praying he stays put.

easternshoregirl comments like that make me so stabby 😑.... it’s ALL hard. Each stage has its own sets of challenges and set backs and also things that are easy. I mean, my DD is only 2.5 so I’m no professional here. But still. It annoys me Agreed! Plus it depends on the kid. Some are easy babies and hellions as teens and some are the opposite.

I’m sorry, jessijean. That is the last thing a pregnant woman needs! The pelvic pain is so obnoxious, let alone falling. I hope any soreness from the fall dissipates quickly.
