I hope you feel better cp3. I'd also probably at least call my doc to see what they say. I really can't believe it is March and people are starting to have their babies. So exciting yet terrifying at the same time...I still have so much to do!

Yeah I'm heading in to get checked. Since the vision and headache issues started my doctor told me to go in anytime it gets worse. And my blood pressure wasn't high this week but it was higher than normal for me and considered at risk for hypertension so Mh came to get me to go in. I just don't feel good overall but I'll see what they say and let you guys know.

I just feel bad because they tried to surprise me at work with a going away party today. They had it catered and everything. The person taking over my position had her mom make this cake for me.

I'm in such a mood today. I was just riding the elevator and this nice guy got in and started to make small talk. So I said something about the 20cm of snow we are getting and he was like "I don't know why that's such a big deal to everyone".
I gave him the biggest stink eye and have been muttering to myself about it since. BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A BIG DEAL TO YOU TOO IF YOU CAN'T BEND OVER TO PUT YOUR BOOTS ON ASSHOLE

My coworkers threw me a shower today! It was surprise lunch and they contributed to some gift cards and some goodies like clothes and swaddle blankets. It was so, so nice. I want to make sure I thank everyone properly. Help me draft a thank you email? I figure I will write individual thank you notes for those who gave wrapped gifts as individuals, but for everyone who attended the lunch and/or signed the group card, a thank you email this afternoon should suffice? Yes? "Hi everyone, Thank you so much to all who made today such a special surprise! Lunch was lovely (both the food and your company) and your gifts are so generous. I am grateful to work with such kind, supportive colleagues and I can’t tell you how much it means to me to celebrate our family’s joy with you. Thank you again. Much love, calendula" This is lovely - your email and your coworkers.

I didn’t sleep well last night and when I did sleep I was fighting people in my dreams. I’m so tired. Is it bed time yet?

Thanks for all the well wishes. My first blood pressure was a little high but has been normal since. Waiting on blood work and the nurse gave me something stronger than Tylenol to take for the headache. Baby looks good on the monitors but I'm having fairly consistent contractions on the monitor. Nothing painful I just have that tightness feeling when they start so I'll see what the midwife says when she comes.

Ok, I think the Mar/Apr BMB needs to go to bed early tonight. Who's with me?
I'm going as soon as I get the kid to bed. I need my mood to turn around.

DH went to a friends house tonight so it's just me and DD. I'm currently fighting with her to put her shoes on so we can go to Jimmy Johns so I can get a BLT for dinner. I really wish they would deliver to my house for occasions like this...they will deliver to my neighbor but not the rest of the houses on the street.

Oh my word, nausea is back with a vengence. If I eat more than a piece of toast I immediately feel like I’m going to throw up. This is awful.

They are sending me home since the contractions aren't strong or painful and I feel a lot better after that medicine they gave me. All bloodwork came back fine. They did give me a prescription of what they gave that I can take if I get another bad headache like this. And if that doesn't relive my symptoms then I need to go in to get checked. I'm really hoping the next time I go in isn't until I'm in labor and I leave with a baby.

Sucks they don't deliver to you, but they do your neighbor.

My mom: Maybe you should go ahead and buy a box of diapers now, just in case you go early?
Me: Meh, I can Amazon Now/Prime a box from the hospital, right?

pearbear Sorry about the nausea. 😕 cp3 So glad that you're feeling better and get to go home. Glad you went and got checked out! I am so hungry lately. I literally just ate dinner an hour ago, but am starving like I haven't eaten all day. I'm trying really hard to watch my weight, but it's hard when I'm hungry all the time.

I hate going in when it ends up being nothing. I never went in with DD1 and feel like the girl that cried wolf. But I'm glad they finally gave me something to help with these horrible headaches and migraines. I'm so over them and my hand went numb with today's which freaked me out. I'm ready for this baby to come.
We've already eaten dinner and I'm planning to go to bed early tonight. I still feel a little nauseous and hope sleep helps.

cp3 I felt the same way on Thursday. They didn’t catch one single contraction when I went in. I felt so dumb. I never went in for anything with my first either. These babies are messing with us.
