kiri hope you kick the cold and feel better soon. I had an appointment with the NP at my OB's office this afternoon. I was supposed to see my OB this morning but she had to do a c-section so they rescheduled me. She mentioned I'm measuring a week behind, but I've been about a week ahead at every other appointment. And she felt around and thinks he went from head down to transverse. So they'll be doing an ultrasound at my appointment in 2 weeks to see where we are at. They also did an NST because I mentioned baby didn't have his two usual busy times today (early morning and midafternoon). I wasn't really worried, they had just asked if he was moving as normal. I wasn't expecting the NST. But he did great and passed with flying colors. It worked out well in that my H was able to come to the appointment since they rescheduled me so I had some company. So...good appointment over all...just more eventful than I expected I guess!

I slept like crap last night and couldn't figure out why I kept waking up until this morning when I figured out the baby had hiccups and kept running into my bladder.

I’m irritated with DH. He is going on a bachelor trip/weekend March 30 and he was initially told it was like 3 hours away. So that was fine. Now he finds out it’s actually like 7.5 hour drive away! And there aren’t really any major airports near the destination so driving is the option.
I’m like well, hope i don’t go into labor because you’ll definitely miss it. I hate to be negative about it but this is such a huge difference between him and I. I plan and he just goes with the flow and doesn’t ask questions.

FX you don't go into labor then! DH asked last night if he could go to Mexico for work in a week or so. I told him hell no. He knew that would be the answer but thought he'd ask anyway. I told him the moment he got down there, I would have issues again and be stuck in the hospital or have to have an immediate c section. So big fat nope!

Good MW appointment today. Baby is good, and she felt around and said she’s head down, yay! I definitely have a yeast infection, my MW took one look and said she didn’t even need to culture. Lovely! But at least it’s an easy fix.

I slept like crap last night and couldn't figure out why I kept waking up until this morning when I figured out the baby had hiccups and kept running into my bladder. I’m right there with you. I was up four times in 7 hours last night to pee. There is so much pressure on my bladder/pelvis that I get woken up by the discomfort every 1-2 hours.

I have been waking at least 4x a night once i fall asleep to pee. But that first hour where I’m trying to fall asleep I probably pee 5x.

But at least it’s an easy fix. Yay for head down, ugh for yeast infection. I had one in 2nd tri and it was horrible. I can’t do OTC stuff either it doesn’t work for me, I do the diflucan for 2 days

That's awesome lily! I hope it clears up quickly robot. I'd be pissed as well itsmemeg. I'm a total planner and details like that would drive me crazy. Hell I told my H he needed to pick one day of the 3 day music festival because I'm not solo parenting for a full weekend when I'm 50 years pregnant.

Bahaha, so I'm laying on the couch relaxing before bed and F starts doing a good ol' wiggle dance. I'm feeling kicks and jabs all over my belly, and then all of the sudden I feel a kick in my butt. LOL

I'm so happy it's Friday. Cannot wait for 5pm to roll around.
Yesterday we finally got the new carpet/pad ordered for the nursery. And last week the windows got ordered. Now we just need them all to come in and my H can get to work. I'm so anxious to get going on the nursery! We've only got like...maybe 8 weekend days left to get it all done. And that's if my H doesn't get any service calls on those days.
Baby will be with us in our room for a couple of months but I really want his space set up before he's here anyway. We lived in a 1 bedroom when we had Ella, so she just had a little nursery nook in our living room. I'm excited to have a whole nursery this go around.

H makes fun of me because right as I'm dozing I'll say "Might as well try one more time" and lo and behold - I pee every time. the last few nights I haven't woken up in the middle of the night to pee, but I wake up in the morning SO uncomfortable because I need to go.

it has started getting super uncomfortable when DD has large movements in there. I love feeling her move, but she likes to move while I'm in the car on my commute and man it seems like she has no more room! can't believe there is still 9 weeks to go

I had my 32w growth scan today. She's measuring fairly average again and is currently breech but since the RCS is scheduled that's fine. The MFM told me that breech csection babies have the most beautiful round heads. She's currently a little over 4lbs. At the same appointment with O he was already over 5. We also got to see that she definitely has hair already but given what O's hair looked like we aren't surprised.

It's amazing how when you don't need to pee you still wind up peeing when you sit on the toilet lol. When I had my first appointment and they did all my blood tests, they needed a urine sample too. Well, the nurse had just made me pee upstairs, but the tech gave me a bottle of water and right after I drained it I went to the bathroom. Lo and behold, I got a sample, and not just a small one either! lol

Meh, I think it's early enough that everything should be fine. But my H has been gone for 4 weeks and will be gone until the week of my due date, so I'm probably jaded.

This weekend my SIL is throwing me a baby shower and my sister is flying in to visit. She's also offered to help me organize my house and put away baby clothes. I am excited.

I got dressed this morning in basically my standard outfit: black leggings, stretchy tank top (usually a tee), and a flannel instead of an open front cardigan. H took one look at me and in the same breath said that I A) look SUPER pregnant today and B) he's pretty sure she's dropped. Well, you see my belly/bump from these angles more than I do, so sure. I certainly wouldn't know, except that she's been head butting my cervix and grinding her head into it for the last week or so.

I ordered my pump today through insurance. I paid $50 to upgrade to the Spectra S1 and a hands free bra and a coupon for another hands free bra.

We did a bonus 3D/4d Ultrasound yesterday. I can’t stop looking at the pictures! Also had ultrasound on my gallbladder. No visible stones, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

New nightly ritual is to sit on the couch with heating pad on my back. I’m going to a new chiropractor next week because my usually one is out on maternity leave and the one who took me on at the practice isn’t certified in Webster and i feel like I need some Webster technique. New guy is a prenatal and pediatric specialist.

I officially hit 3rd tri today! I just sent my intended parents an email talking about the milestone. I try to share something about the baby as well with them, but am always torn on my much to share about how I'm feeling. As in I don't want to complain about my discomfort. At times I almost feel like I'm lying to them, but I don't want them to feel bad about the physical effects of pregnancy, because I knew they were possibilities coming into this.

armpants I’m so sorry but I think because I joined late I may have missed your story. Are you a surrogate?
