I have a prenatal massage Thursday morning! WOOHOO!!!! Then a NST, growth scan and OB appointment back to back to back starting at 1:00. Speaking of... I had my GBS swab last week, do they normally call with results or just give them the next time you go in? Mine were available online within a few days but typically no news is good news so I would assume it was negative! My OB doesn't have an online portal... I'll have to remember to ask for results when I go in on Thursday.

easternshoregirl I would do the mag citrate and then start daily miralax. It really helps soften things up. We are good. DS1 was pretty adorable. He said "hi baby!" And of course was excited to see me again. So far I feel much better that last time but my hemoglobin is pretty low again so I'm nervous (7.4) I'm hoping I won't get nauseous again when my milk comes in.

We got out the infant car seat today to make sure it fits behind our drivers seat, and DD kept asking what it was. So we told her that it was for her baby sister to bring her home in the car. And now she won’t stop asking for her baby sister to come home 😭 We went to the store earlier, and she goes “Go get baby sister?” so cute it’s melting my heart.

tiffrobot I’m sorry you’re having such a hard time, both with DS and your students. I don’t know how you teachers hold it together dealing with other people’s kids all day and then going home to deal with your own. I hope you see an upswing on things soon! ETA tiffbabey

I was having a decent day until I saw the bill for my Nst’s and ultrasounds. I have no idea how we’re going to make it. We’re going to blow through our HSA before I even hit delivery.

I'm curious to see what our NSTs are running. Probably a lot more than they should... Are you doing yours at the hospital or in your OB's office? DH's insurance (which I switched to Jan 1) covers "prenatal testing" so I'm hoping most of the NSTs are covered under that clause.

Regular maternity visits are covered in full. Any testing is not covered. The nst was only $60 of the bill, the rest is the ultrasound. I have to have this done weekly until delivery.

kbw, maybe you can get a payment plan to make it more manageable? I feel like a lot of doc's offices are ok with that.

I’ve had really really stringy/mucousy discharge today. Like pretty consistently with every trip to the toilet (which has been 100+) and some off & on crampy discomfort (super mild though). So while I don’t think labor is coming tonight, this gives me hope it may be this week lol. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

The painter is going to come start the nursery on Friday! It's a small bedroom so it shouldn't take too long but they are going to patch up a couple of cracks first so I'm not sure how long it will take total. Now I am freakin excited to get the room set up! I feel like we have everything we need now.

Add me to the daily contractions club, but they are the "light" version so I don't think anything is really happening yet. I feel like this happened for a few weeks before DS was born too, pretty much every evening.

Also super cute— DD (2.5) asked me last night when her brother was going to come out of my tummy. So we talked about that a bit and I told her how she used to live in there too until she decided she wanted to come out. She was like “ohhhh I was a baby in your tummy too??? And then I was born!!” And then she got so excited about how baby brother is in there too & will be born soon. It was giving me all the feels. Today she told H the whole thing, how she used to be in my tummy and then she was born haha. It’s amazing to me how much she “gets” about the whole thing.
Also— she saw some dirty clothes of H’s in the living room right outside our door (he comes home & dumps his socks there lol it’s annoying). Anyway without skipping a beat she picked them up & took them to the laundry basket in our closet. I was partly irritated bc H was thrilled to not clean them up himself but also partly pumped bc I officially have a helper I can depend on lol.

I told H just now “every time I stand up my stomach feels tight” and he feels it and hes like “you dummy that’s a contraction.” It’s as if I haven’t done this before lol

Ughhh.. I may end up at the doctor tomorrow. TMI I have just a tiny internal(?) burn when I pee and my vag is just a bit uncomfortable, also internal. No foul odor though which I find odd if it is an infection. I'm hoping it's not an infection and if it is that I won't need to come in to be seen. I know being this freshly postpartum it's very likely I'll see her tomorrow.
In other news... DS2 had his one week check. His first weight showed that he lost over a pound. I was so upset. But when the doctor came in she said that there was no way that was true and brought the scale in. He actually gained 9oz since delivery. Way to go breastmilk! Maybe this pumping is worth it. DS1 even turned on the put for me today...awkward.

Did your hospital or insurance give you an estimate of what you would pay out of pocket? We don't have an HSA or FSA and our hospital apparently has the fun new policy of making patients prepay their estimated total so I had to throw down $3500 the week before Christmas. I feel your pain :-(

I had all these books I was going to reread from my first pregnancy and I finally went to go find them and I can't! The infant gym is also missing. I'm going crazy.

I knew what my ultrasounds has been costing so I was think it would be around that maybe a little higher but this is almost $400 higher than my other ultrasounds.

Would you have lent any of those things out? A friend of mine returned all kinds of things to me that I forgot that I gave her to use. No clue who I gave the pump adapter to, or if they returned it but I'm going to borrow one from someone else!
