Randoms - week of 5/21

[Nymeria]

Oh no!! Hope you managed some sleep and today is better tbirdlove.

[Nymeria]

I'm at work in jeans, a tshirt, and heels. It looks funny but my shoes for my brother's wedding next week are brand new and need to be broken in a bit.

[ftwr]

I'm feeling so much more comfortable today. I ordered a pregnancy support pillow to hopefully make sleeping more comfortable. I'm excited to try it out.

[tbirdlove]

I managed to get some sleep on the couch from 4-5:30, then was able to lay down in my bed for a few more hours without dying from heartburn. I called my OB this morning to find out what I can take for this mess and she wants me to see my primary care Dr to get checked out. So I'm going there in the morning. I've felt pretty awful still all day, my throat hurts so bad and I sound like a nasty, hot mess!

The good news is that DS still seems to be on the mend. He was actually able to play outside this afternoon.

[tbirdlove]

What's up ladies?! Anyone have anything fun planned for this weekend? We'll probably still just be staying at home taking it easy while we all recover.

I'm still sick, but things are loosening up so I'm headed in the right direction. Primary care Dr checked me out yesterday and it's just a virus that needs to run it's course. So we're all hanging in there!

We’re in vacation mode this weekend! We flew to Boston to stay with DH’s aunt and uncle. Today we’re spending the day at a beach, tomorrow we’ll hang out in their backyard and go to target (a treat for us Canadians!). We’re heading home Sunday so it’s a quick getaway but SOOO needed.

[tbirdlove]

chriskoo enjoy your mini vacay! Sounds fun!

[akwild]

M and I are getting on a plane tonight for a 3 week visit with family. M always has fun but planning and packing us to get there is a little overwhelming. Luckily she’s getting older and needs less stuff.

[tbirdlove]

akwild have a great trip!

[tbirdlove]

I FINALLY made the big announcement to extended family and on FB today!!!

[brenna]

DD and I are at my parents vacation home and enjoying swimming and sunshine. Dh is on his way here now and we all fly home on Tuesday.

[Nymeria]

chriskoo, akwild, brenna - Enjoy yoir trips!!

tbirdlove - Glad you're headed in the right direction. Hope you feel better the rest of the way soon! I just posted a picture Monday to finally "go public" too!


This new HIH blocked at work thing is really frustrating. I hate having to use my phone.

No big plans this weekend. My cousin who lives is Cali is flying home for my brother's wedding and she gets here Sunday so us older girl cousins who grew up together are all getting together Sunday afternoon. Otherwise nothing going on as of now which I'm fine with.

DS's replacement suit (the first one was too big) was supposedly delivered today so I'll have to try that on him and hem the pants. Probably should do that this weekend so I'm not trying to do it after work one night next week.

[tbirdlove]

brenna enjoy your trip!

Nymeria that will be fun to get together with your cousins! Hope the new suit fits! If you're up for it you'll have to share a photo of your DS dolled up in wedding duds 😆 Kids in suits are adorable!

[chriskoo]

Someone (I think on this board) recommended cloud island sleepers from target because they unzip from the foot up instead of the neck down. Whoever that was, thank you!!! I picked up a bunch today for the new babe and they look awesome. Nice to take advantage of my rare target opportunity to get something somewhat practical!

[pixiepink24]

My weekend just started off rather "eventful". We decided to grab ice cream at Sonic to celebrate DD sleeping like a "big girl" and then there was a huge shoot out across the street. It was crazy. With in a minute cops were everywhere and helicopters. Now a guy is on the loose in my neighborhood because I live the street behind it. So crazy!! Hoping no one was killed.

[tbirdlove]

chriskoo I had some that could zip from either direction when DS was little! They were awesome!

[tbirdlove]

pixiepink24 😮 Omg. That would scare the crap out of me to be so close to something like that. I hope the shooter is caught soon. What is wrong with people 😢

[chriskoo]

pixiepink24 that’s terrifying!!!

Honestly, I live in an area where I hear gun shots at least once a day. But today I was outside, within distance of getting shot from a stray with my family, so it was a weird feeling. I just heard he was caught in the neighborhood next to mine. Haven't heard about the damage yet.

[Nymeria]

OMG pixiepink24! Glad they caught him already!

[tbirdlove]

pixiepink24 I'm glad they caught him.

Baby is moving less than usual this morning 😕 Still some movement, but not nearly as much as has been usual lately. Maybe baby's turned around and is kicking towards the back or something. Either way, I don't like it. It makes me unnecessarily worried.

[Nymeria]

tbirdlove - I hate days like that. Keep in mind baby is stil small and while we'll feel movement now it should continue to get more consistent.

If baby is moving, try not to stress too much. I definitely had quiet days and active days with DS.

Granted I'm saying all this after tapping my fingers and eating ice cream last night to make my LO move more last night.

[tbirdlove]

Nymeria it's been consistent for weeks so it's just random that it's less! There's still movement, just less of it and it's different. Less kicks, more... large squirming?! I think baby's just in a different position. Maybe kicking down back at the placenta more, where I wouldn't feel so much, and shoving it's back outward against my belly?! Who knows!

It's kinda fun to guess what they're up to and what position they are in!

ETA: I guess "worried" probably wasn't the right thing to say earlier. More just that it makes me feel unnecessarily mindful 😊

[Nymeria]

tbirdlove - Gotcha! It's definitely better when you feel those little pops all day long!!

[tbirdlove]

DS and I walked (DS rode in his stroller) over to watch the local parade this morning. It started at 10am and it was already in the high 80s with blazing sun. Sitting at the side of the road with no shade is not so pleasant. We were melting. We had to leave early again this year cause I couldn't take it anymore! The waddle home was rough.

[chriskoo]

tbirdlove ugh. Being at a parade in this heat sounds miserable!

[mirabelle]

Found myself watching the beginning part of the bachelorette tonight strictly to see if there were any interesting names to add to our list. Nothing stuck out to me though.
