Omg eleephant so cute! I love your oldest posing with his arms crossed. Thanks! He was the only one willing to pose. I had to just take a bunch of the other 2 and hope for the best. 😂

I think I have SPD, or something close to it. I'm fine sitting down, but changing positions in bed and walking around/standing is painful in my crotch area. Awesome. Wearing a support belt or belly wrapping helps, but it's uncomfortable while sitting down, which means there's no point doing it at my desk job or during my commute. Have a chiro appt today, no idea if he can help, and going to talk to my midwife on Friday. Not cool, body, not cool.

I’m sorry you are dealing with it too. You’ll have to let me know if the chiropractor helps the pain at all because I’ve been wondering if I should give that a shot.

Our high today is 66 and I have on an oversized sweatshirt and leggings and think this is the happiest I have been clothes wise since March. I am so jealous! We still have highs in the 80’s here in TN.

I have been MIA the past couple days. Things have been busy here with after school activities and work driving me crazy. I’ll just continue to count down the weeks until my maternity leave.
I am so jealous of everyone who is having fall weather! I just want to cozy up under a blanket with some hot tea and read but it’s still hot pretty much every day here.

I ordered some nice, cute, age appropriate, nursing tops today and I am pretty excited. I usually hate the look of nursing tops because they look so frumpy or matronly to me but these ones seem cute! With DS2 I BFed for 18 months and never bought a nursing top but I hated having to pull up my whole shirt to nurse even if I had a nursing tank underneath. I got ones that could be paired with leggings/active wear pants which is my usual go to for bottoms.

Argyle I got them from Latchedmama.com I had to read the reviews really carefully to see if I should size up or down on the ones I got. I got one of the hoodies and sized way up because I like mine to be looser fitting. We will see if they look ok when I get them in the mail. The reviews were all good for the ones I got so I am excited!

I've been so MIA lately. My boss finally came up with a plan for my leave...Which is to hire two new people with zero experience...I have to train them in 20 working days which includes a day when our office is moving buildings & won't be operational...And then when I come back I don't get to do the job I've done for 6 years (have done well mind you) and really enjoy doing. Yay. Makes me feel super about maternity leave and all that.

The last company I worked for pulled the same shit on a girl who’d also worked at the company for 6 years doing a job she loved, but did it while she was on leave and she came back to a whole new job and shit show. I tried everything I could with my HR powers to help her, but there was nothing I could do. I still feel awful about it.

I think my boss is in denial about my maternity leave. I keep having to remind him that I only have a few weeks left (5 right now) and he still has no plans on who to pass my job to temporarily. Everyone else has had one on ones recently except me and he hasn’t scheduled one or even confirmed he would.

The reviews were all good for the ones I got so I am excited! I have some tops and dresses from them and really like them! my only complaint is that the two maxi dresses I have were ok for nursing but not for pumping because I could only get one boob out at a time. Their T-shirts were wardrobe staples when I was nursing/pumping last time, I definitely want to get more. Those ones had the v-neck underneath so I could get both boobs out at once.

Went to my midwife visit today and am feeling frustrated. Of course, I saw the one midwife (out of the six in the practice) I'm not a huge fan of because she's... brusque is a good way to describe her I guess? Her bedside manner is not great. I asked her about my pelvic pain and she said there's not really anything I can do about it because baby's just low. Which is I guess probably true, but I was hoping for something, I guess. And the weird pressure headaches I've been having on and off are a mystery and she said I could go see my GP if I want, but there wasn't any pregnancy-related cause she could think of. Cried on my drive to work after my appointment because I'm so tired of hurting and it was hard to feel like I was just kind of brushed off. Fortunately only one more of my appointments is with her, and it's at 39 weeks.
She did ask me if I had been measuring big, so I guess I'm measuring big this week? Two weeks ago I was measuring right on, maybe baby had a growth spurt, which may be causing me all this pain.

Dramaphile I’m sorry that she brushed off your concerns. Having an OB or MW that doesn’t listen and act like they care about you is the worst.

I bought a gently used Sakura Bloom scout carrier from a mom on their BST FB group and I am super excited about it. I have been drooling over their carriers forever. I haven’t done much to prepare for this LO’s arrival at all because I have almost everything I need from DS2. Buying it for use with this LO and DS2 has helped satisfy my urge to baby prep in some way.

This week has been rough in our house. My kids have taken turns with fever/vomiting every week of September. DD came down with her second round Wednesday and is still sick today. I called the doctor yesterday and they said to wait to come in until today so that’s what I did. Not only is her fever still high, but she’s saying her head and neck hurt and won’t get out of bed at all. She has slept all day the last three days and today and really only wakes up to drink water and pass back out. She has always been my healthy kid so this is just scaring me for some reason. Sorry for the word vomit, I just needed to get that out.

Sorry Dramaphile. That’s frustrating. I’ve realized who my OB reminds me of. The robotic congressman Murray from Parks & Rec. Big, fake, smile but totally dead behind the eyes.

FIL’s wife told me when the sprinkle for this baby is, and I’m annoyed. I didn’t want to know. I was under the impression that it was supposed to be a surprise. I had zero idea of a date until she blurted it out today. Like, now what do I do? Admit that I know? Act surprised? Ugh. Not cool.

Thank you ladies. We went in to the doctor and she ran a strep test to rule it out before sending us to the hospital to see about having a possible kidney infection and by some strange coincidence/miracle DD perked up and started talking fur the first time in days while waiting on the results. The doctor is letting us wait 6-8 hours to see if she’s on the mend before they send her in to get a catheter. She actually ate a tiny bit and played for about 30 minutes before asking to go back down for a nap so I’m crossing everything we just got a very nasty virus.

DD ended up in the ER last night after all. She has a raging kidney infection. I feel so bad I didn’t know any sooner. I have only had a handful of UTIs in my life and all have been because they had already turned into kidney infections due to a lack of symptoms. This is not a trait I wanted to pass on. I’m just hoping the meds do their job and we have no other complications.
On that note, goodbye September, bring on October and hopefully some cute new babies from this group!
