My placenta is out of the danger zone as well! Baby girl is 50th percentile for size and is head down with her face snuggled up to the walls of my uterus ❤️

I have peed like 20 times already today and it’s not even 4pm.
I also seem to have reached the stage where eating anything gives me heartburn even though I take Prevacid daily. This is made worse by LO jamming his feet into my stomach.
Work is annoying, 6 more weeks until maternity leave.

And yes, with the peeing. This afternoon I peed, and then literally five minutes later stopped what I was doing. H asked if I was all right and I told him I couldn't tell if I had to actually pee again, or of baby was just jumping extra hard on my bladder.
Also, I very much overdid it trying to use up our apples from our trip to the orchard - I made muffins and applesauce, and now my legs and back are screaming at me, but it was worth it because they turned out awesome.

Washing all of the clothes I got from hand-me-downs and the consignment sale. Little man doesn’t have a bedroom yet, and it’s making me antsy that there is currently no proof in the living area that a baby is coming. Hahaha. So, now I feel like I’m doing something for him.
H put down a payment for upstairs carpet, where the master bedroom will be. LO will move into our current room next to his sister. Now just waiting for the carpet to come in and be scheduled for installation. FX this kid bakes for the full 40 weeks so we can get everything done.

Been feeling off the past few days, having weird short episodes of what I guess I can describe as pressure headaches? They usually come and go, although last night it lasted over about an hour. Not severe, just odd pressure in my head and feeling a little nauseous and dizzy. Called the midwife line last night and she said to try taking allergy meds as it could be my sinuses and call again if it gets worse. Going to chug water like it's my job today and see if tylenol, water and zyrtec help at all.
Could it be caffeine related? Seems to happen more after I have something caffeinated. Might have to cut back on that, too. My blood pressure's been perfect to low for my entire pregnancy, but I know that can change.....
My BFF had a sprinkle for me on Saturday and it was lots of fun! Just a few friends getting together at a brewery and having pizza and cupcakes. MH and I yesterday went through a ton of hand-me-down clothes and stuff we'd stored from when DD was a baby, so I'm feeling good that at least baby boy won't be naked! Need to wash all the NB and 0-3 clothes and also wash all my cloth diapers so they're ready to go. Then we just need to paint the nursery and get the crib and bassinet set up and we're pretty good to go.

Dramaphile, are you eating something when you have caffeine? I have to eat with my coffee, preferably a higher protein food, or that happens to me too.

Dramaphile , are you eating something when you have caffeine? I have to eat with my coffee, preferably a higher protein food, or that happens to me too. I eat an english muffin with my coffee in the morning, I'll try adding something with more protein and see if that helps. That's a definite possibility.

So I ended going to the ER last night. I had felt some calf pain starting on Saturday night and by Sunday mid-day I couldn't walk on my leg without pain. With my clotting disorder I just didn't feel right now getting it checked out. So we did and thankfully no blood clot. Now today my whole body is in pain (just muscle soreness like I had a really hard day at the gym doing exercises I don't normally do). So I am not sure what the hell is going on with me. I didn't do anything above and beyond normal so not sure why I am feeling this way. I have an appointment this afternoon with my primary care.

I mix my coffee with an low sugar protein shake. Might be worth a shot.

This pelvic pain is unreal. I had this a bit with DS and a little more with DD but I don’t remember it being this painful or lasting longer than a few days.
My neighbor and close friend just had surgery to remove a tumor from her jaw last week and her babysitter bailed today so I helped chase her 2 yo around outside along with my 3 yo. Now I am stuck in the couch with ice between my legs for the remainder of the day. 10ish weeks left now feels like an eternity.

I think baby boy has gone from breech to the hammock position, slowly working his way to head down. Man, I am uncomfortable with him in this position. DD was always in the middle, straight up and down. Followed the rules. This dude is trying to kill me.

It can help get him head down and (slightly) more comfortable for you

It can help get him head down and (slightly) more comfortable for you I have not looked into it. I did some Googling to confirm with myself that if he stayed in the breech position, I would 100% refuse any talk of external cephalic version. It’s not happening. So much nope. THAT SAID, I should check into the general spinning babies things that I can safely attempt at home. Because, ouch.

I'm with you on the ECV, I was a failed version baby, it put my mom into labor and I came via C-section 3 weeks early because of it. Spinning babies is exercises and positions to encourage better positioning (also helps for sunny side up babies), definitely check it out, it's worth a try!

Guys, I gotta AW the pics I took of my kids this past weekend.
PDQ.
My oldest is 6 and in 1st grade. I don't understand when he got so big. 😪 My middle is a crazy but sweet 3 year old. 😍 My baby is almost 2 (what?!) and refused to keep his shoes and socks on. 😂
Poof
