My u/s on Tuesday showed the baby is actually sideways, when we thought he was head down. So when I went in for my checkup on Friday, the doctor told me I can either schedule a day to try to turn him (she thought chances were good because he was sideways rather than fully breech) or schedule a c-section. I said I’d prefer to try to turn him. So she did a cervical check to see if I was dilated and it ended up being uncomfortably thorough because a) she thought she felt the baby’s head and b) I’m not dilated at all so she couldn’t really confirm it. In the end they pulled out the mini ultrasound machine and he’s wiggled his way back to head down (yay!) Question: since my appt yesterday I’ve been having a small amount of dark brown spotting. I am not surprised at all because my cervix has always bled at the slightest provocation. I am mildly surprised it’s still happening today. Am I underreacting if I just ignore it? I would ignore it. Dark brown means old blood, probably from yesterday. If it turns red, I would call.

Quiet day here. My MIL is in the city today so she’s taking the long way home so she can stop in for a visit and bring us out supper yay 😃 I think I need to start making more plans again too. The cabin fever is starting to kick in for me, at least the kids still seem happy, they are busy haha. Have a good one!

I had my first NST yesterday afternoon. It went well, I had a few Braxton Hicks while I was on the monitor and am glad I got assurance that I was correct on what I was feeling. My mom took DS to her house for two nights, so DH and I are enjoying our last kid free time before the baby. Tonight we are going out to eat and then doing our date box which includes making our own ice cream, playing a card game and dancing lessons at home. Should be interesting!

Any tricks to getting an air bubble out of your stomach when you’re massively pregnant? I am having stomach pains on my left side and it feels like a bubble is lodged in there and it can’t get out... because why not. I’ve tried walking, laying on my sides, squatting, massaging (which actually backfires since there’s a person in there who gets pissed off if I poke her too much 😂). It huuuuurts and I need relief 😭 it’s making me so nauseous and miserable

My mom brought over spritz cookies for DD..basically the first thing she's eaten all day.. Brownies and homemade peanut butter cakes.. The pb cakes are already gone 😂
I do love living so close to family. It can be really frustrating but not at the same time. Now they're swinging back by with some soft pretzels. 😍

If enough of us are located where I think we are, I think we should have a GTG when the weather gets warmer. We can do a zoo or the please touch museum. JEALOUS

Heartburn can GTFO!
I feel like a broken record complaining about this. I will be so happy when this baby comes out and I no longer have this horrible heartburn (hopefully it goes away).
Anyway- happy Saturday, ladies!

It is 47 degrees out - this is crazy warm weather for January in the midwest.
Anyone else have unseasonably warm, or cold, weather right now?

benandjerrys Ohhhhhhh, the initials EWPZ just clicked in my head. I’ve been to that one! Probably half an hour away. Kind of embarrassing that I couldn’t figure that out sooner. I blame no sleep. Speaking of no longer having a functioning brain, last night I was trying to remember the name of the show Homeland, which I’ve seen a few seasons of. But all I could manage to describe it was “female protagonist...blonde....she’s a...special forces? Maybe? Looking for a guy...in a country...” 😬😂

I spent almost three hours making meals to freeze today. I only ended up with tonight’s dinner and 3 meals to freeze. Choosing to make sauce from scratch lasanga was probably not the best use of my time. I’m like 45 meals behind aprilz81.

Yes. We live in the same state but still a pretty long drive I think. I don’t live in that state but I live close enough that I won’t mind the drive.

Those that have delivered and like to enjoy adult beverages like I do, has it been good yet or are you still too close to delivery/tired to enjoy it?
I’m so close to my wine yet it feels so far from actually being able to enjoy it but maybe I’m wrong.

I’m so close to my wine yet it feels so far from actually being able to enjoy it but maybe I’m wrong. I haven't gone crazy but definitely have enjoyed a nice glass or 2 of wine since the baby was born. Delicious and just that little relaxation assist.

My husband has taken the baby out for his first little outing of a walk to the grocery store for hand sanitizer. I’m enjoying the half hour by myself to just relax.
