Yay, Dramaphile! I’ll be needing the “move bitch” vibes in September. I’ll let y’all know when to start singing.

My kid also gets lazy. I poke him a lot to get him to give me a nudge.

My kid also gets lazy. I poke him a lot to get him to give me a nudge. Same, unless it's morning or night or I have my belly pressed up against my desk at work, he just chills in there. But usually if I press my hand into my belly he'll kick back. He's transverse currently, so I get a lot of kicks and uncomfortable leg-stretching into my left side.

Anyone considering doing the 3d/4d ultrasound thing? I'm tempted, but not sure. My first pregnancy I have such great ultrasound shots of my daughter and they did the 3D as well as 2D so I have a few of her face at 20 and 41 weeks, but I'm at a new office and I wish I had better shots of #2, the best I have is a blurry profile. Doing the whole 4D video thing seems over the top, but I wouldn't mind having some better ones of baby boy that I could frame alongside his sister's. I'm usually on the side of pretty low intervention, but I've been thinking about this for a bit.

Yay Dramaphile! We did a 3D with DS around 30-32 weeks (I can't remember exactly when) and I think we'll do the same with DD!

I just had the most humiliating and gross pregnant moment to date. I will spare y’all the details, but it involves coughing, no bladder control, and strong gag reflex. Also in public. I am currently digging a hole to move into.

Dr. Cox oh no! I'm sorry! I had a peeing myself & coughing/puking moment in my car when I was pregnant with DS. Not fun.

My 3yo DD has tried every ounce of my patience the last few weeks. I am questioning my ability to parent 3 kids. Like, I’ve been looking for jobs again, I don’t know if I’m cut out for this.
Also, if you could send back some move bitch vibes for me next Wednesday I’d be happy to accept. I know my doctors have told me my placenta won’t move, but I am holding onto some crazy dream that it might prove everyone wrong.

Oh no, Dr. Cox! I’m sorry, any combination of those things sounds awful!

It is expensive but I don’t get great viewing at my drs office so I want some good pictures.

I am currently on vacation in Florida. I’m happy to hear that so many of our mommas placentas have moved where they are supposed to! I am not sure when I will get my follow up ultrasound but I hope I get the same news.
Feeling pretty good on this vacation which is nice. Definitely tired and feet get a little swollen when I’m on them all day but I will take that over feeling yucky all day. I have managed to stay away from the scale for a few weeks so I hope I am not depressed after my my check up on Thursday.

I'm just getting back from an anniversary trip/babymoon to the mountains. It was a lovely trip, but I'm glad to be home. I found out right before leaving that I passed my 1 hour GD test! Woohoo!
My OB doesn't do a lot of ultrasounds for low risk pregnancies, so there are actually no more planned for the remainder of my pregnancy unless something comes up. H and I decided this weekend we'll definitely go and book a 3D/4D ultrasound in the next month or so to get nice pictures and to take DD along so she can actually see the baby moving in there and feel a little more real for her.

So, a friend is taking DD’s clothes, 18mos to 2T. I’m getting the totes ready for H to take to her. And, I’m crying. Sobbing, really.
I’m so excited for little man. I can’t wait to meet him. But I’m definitely in mourning about not having another girl. Anyone go through a weird period in relation to the sex of their baby?
Pregnancy hormones and emotions are seriously bonkers. Like, I’m even wondering if they’ll treat the clothes nicely. If they’ll donate to someone else in need one day. WHY DO I CARE ABOUT CLOTHES SO MUCH?!

Be kind to yourself quijibo. I had some feelings about this being another boy for no other reason than I also grew up the middle child and only girl and always wanted a sister so badly. I wanted to give DD what I didn’t have growing up. Ultimately we will love the new babies regardless and that’s what I tell myself when the feelings creep back into my head.

This, I think, is the crux of my feelings. I have a sister and feel like DD will miss out on that special sisterly thing. I hope she’s close to her brother. I have two of them and I love them dearly, but my relationship with them is very different from what I have with my sister.

I am very close to my older sister and less so to my brother, and I definitely had an adjustment period after finding out this baby was a boy thinking she would miss out on some of the sister bonding, and that my next kid wouldn't get to wear her cute outfits. But maybe he'll want frilly dresses and tutus, in which case he can have them. And maybe they'll bond over playing soccer or music or star wars or something else she's also into. And plenty of sisters aren't close at all (my sister and I didn't really get close till I was in late high school/college).

I am supposed to be able to schedule my RCS today and it feels so weird to pick a birthdate for your kid! I know she could come before the date, but still seems so weird!

Both H and I are only children so this whole sibling dynamic thing is going to be a whole new ball game for us!
This child is made up of 90% bacon gouda breakfast sandwiches from Starbucks. The rate at which I am achieving a free item reward is alarming.

My brother and I are actually really close now and talk often and he visits pretty frequently too. I have never had a sister though so I don’t know if things would be different with one. H has a sister and isn’t close with her at all, like it’s been months (maybe over a year) since they said 2 words to each other. She has visited us once in the past 5 years we lived here.
Sibling dynamics can vary so much based on so many factors I just have to keep my fingers crossed that my 3 boys will end up being close to each other.
We had such a busy week last week with Dr visits and hospital visits and testing for DS2. Then the IL’s visited over the weekend. I always feel so hungover after visits with them just from pretending that them judging my parenting etc is ok and keeping my mouth shut. This time I was told I need to do something about H gaining weight, our water glasses aren’t nice enough, I need to stop babywearing b/c DS2 should sit in a stroller, and MIL literally can’t watch or play with either kid for more than 2 minutes! I was cooking dinner and her only job was to watch DS2 in the other room. She watched him for 2 minutes then got up and left him alone to come stare at me! Ugh!!!

Dramaphile yay for your placenta moving!! Dr. Cox oh no!!! I have had some pee leakage this time around and it is not fun. I am going to have to invest in panty liners I guess. summerrain I will send your placenta lots of moving vibes! emilypk sending you lots of good vibes! I hope it’s nothing! ladybrienne I am glad the cyst is gone! quijibo I can totally relate to having a very picky eater. My 8 year old is super picky and went through phases of only eating a few things. He still only eats from a select list of items but is overall a bit better than he used to be. It’s so frustrating though because we have to give him vitamins, fiber pills, calcium supps etc to make sure he is getting everything he needs to be healthy. Despite eating very few foods and usually not much food overall (my 2 yo eats more than he does most days) he still grows and his Dr isn’t concerned. I am still trying to come to terms with it all.

I had the worst RLP yesterday. Holy crap, like it took my breath away and had me in tears. I had it in the night because I wasn't aware enough to move slowly like I usually do to try to avoid it and yeah it hurt so damn bad! RCS scheduled for 11/7! 93 days!

I wonder if I am broken? I have no feels about not having a girl, like at all. 2 boys sounds good to me. But I also have no feels on any combo of sex my kids happen to be.
I just look at it as this thing I have ZERO control over, and it's what it's meant to be. Sounds corny but there you have it.
