I've been doing really well with the whole insomnia issue for some weeks now. Tonight I randomly woke up around 4:30am. Still awake at 5:30. Hoping to fall back asleep, but my to-do list keeps running through my head and the birds are already singing.

Nope - never did fall back asleep. DS woke up early too, so we got up. Hopefully there will be a nap for ME today!

Mine has oddly slept in pretty late the past two days allowing me to actually drink my coffee in peace. It's been wonderful. I can't remember the last time I've done that. But she does wake up and come into my bed middle of the night hogging it all so I don't get much sleep.

I just enrolled in a six week prenatal yoga class! I wanted to do it with DS too, but I always have a hard time justifying the expense on something like this for myself. I'm excited for the treat and I hope to meet some local expectant mommas.

I was taking unisom and b6 for nausea for about 8 weeks and now I can't sleep without unisom 😟 I have weaned down to a quarter of a tablet but still can't sleep at all if I don't take it. I think it may be partially in my head too though because lack of sleep gives me anxiety and has been a huge trigger for as long as I can remember.

I'm excited for the treat and I hope to meet some local expectant mommas. I loved doing yoga when I was pregnant with DD. I didn't do a prenatal class, but was able to do a regular class until about my last month. At that point, by the time I stood up, the class would be back on the ground and when I finally made it back to down to my mat, the class would be standing up again up, so I gave up at that point haha.

OMG DS just won't go to sleep. I'm working from home today and he's exhausted but after being put down no problem he's been yelling for over a half hour. He had lunch before I put him down and I already stopped in quick for a hug/diaper check but he just won't go to sleep and I have no idea why.
I know he doesn't need anything so now I'm just leaving him and hoping he'll fall asleep.

Anyone else getting Braxton Hicks yet? They came early for me last time but still so annoying. I drink so much water, but I still get them.

blurnette989 - I think I've had a few but it seems tied to when my bladder is really full.

blurnette989 the ultrasound tech at my anatomy scan said I was having some! I was surprised. I don't feel any of them yet though.

I had pretty constant BH last time but I never really felt them. Like, they could be picked up on a machine and I could feel them with my hand if it was on my stomach but that's it.
Who knows what'll happen this time around.

Interesting. I didn't know people could have them and not feel them. Mine are very noticeable and annoying. They started this early last time for me too, but usually drinking water helped.

blurnette989 I didn't know that either! That's why I was surprised when she said I was having them!

I notice that sometimes my whole belly feels harder but it lasts for a while and doesn’t hurt so I don’t think it’s BH. But idk what It is.

I've had a few Braxton Hicks, one was super noticeable and made me a little worried. With DD, at my 12 week ultrasound we had to stop the ultrasound for a second because I had a Braxton Hicks and it was squishing the baby so she couldn't get a measurement.

But again, this happened in both my prior pregnancies too.

So, I'm already big enough that I'm having a hard time fitting comfortably in the passenger seat of my car with DS behind me 😕 Sadly this is our bigger car and it is just magically seeming smaller and smaller lately.
I need to try moving him to the middle of the back seat and see if that helps a bit.

My ob personally called me this afternoon which immediately I was thinking oh no this isn't good. She said on my anatomy scan that they found the baby's umbilical cord only has one artery instead of two. She said it can cause heart defects, kidney problems and sometimes the babies stop growing in third tri. I'm so anxious now. We will be doing a level 2 ultrasound at the hospital soon to look more closely at everything. Does anybody have any experience with this?

Oh, brenna I'm so sorry for this news. I don't have experience with this situation, nor have I known anyone who has. I hope you don't have to wait long for the next ultrasound and that it will give some more insight into what's going on. So many hugs 💓

So Google actually helped my anxiety this time since we all know that Google usually gives the scariest, worst case scenarios, but everything I've read about having a single umbilical artery (SUA) is mostly good news. 1% of babies born have a SUA and the risks for defects are about 5-7%. The most common issue is baby having to come out early because of lack of growth. We will hopefully be setting up the ultrasound soon (the hospital is supposed to call in the next few days) and hopefully they can get us in quick. Baby kept me up for several hours last night having a dance party so that is comforting to know it is getting stronger and bigger at this point.

No personal experience but big hugs brenna. I have heard before what you found Googling that they'll be more cautious about watching babies growth but the other potential risks are much less common. Hope they get you in for your Level 2 u/s quickly.

Hi...haven’t been here since first tri hell began but didn’t want to read without responding to brenna My aunt had this was her second son about 15 years ago. The biggest concern with kidneys and growth. She had weekly growth checks and and some point around 36/37 weeks they figured he would be better out than in. He is a perfectly, healthy thrieving teenager now. My mom said he had a very short NICU stay (she thinks 2 days) while they monitored him but everything was ok. I’m sorry you have to worry about this. If I talk to my aunt I will try to get more details though I’m sure a lot has changed since then.

So assuming it's still available when we go back with the truck tomorrow, a BRU near me that hasn't closed yet has their floor model of the dresser I wanted for the nursery at 30% off. $420 is way better than $600!!
I can't get the rest of the furniture through them anymore but it has appeared on Amazon. I can't decide if I want to buy the other pieces there or if I want to order directly from the manufacturer. I usually go to Amazon for everything but since this company hasn't been selling on Amazon long I'd almost feel more comfortable going through the company directly. That's an extra $100 in shipping fees though...
