k, I need to call my insurance and see if they cover electric breast pumps. Last time, they didn't. I'd love to keep one at work and one at home.

I am wearing maternity pants that hit my bump in an awkward spot. Baby has been kicking against the tight waistband all day. It's uncomfortable, but I kinda love it because I haven't felt her in almost a week and I was getting worried.

@amc omg what a little punk! That is so funny! I want to get some target jeans too. It’s still way too hot in Florida to think about jeans yet though.

Good morning! Despite the fact that I didn't leave my house anywhere near as early as I planned this morning, I stopped for Starbucks. Joke is on me, because as soon as I started drinking my coffee, I started getting heartburn. I really need to be productive at work today, my to-do list is a mile long and full of unpleasant tasks that I don't want to do, so I'm here first

Work has been so nuts that I didn't have a chance to check in last week. I'm writing a detailed list of the various audits and tasks that I manage so that my boss isn't left in the dark while I'm on leave. My coworker is due two weeks after me, so we're scrambling to post another position or two and get people trained ASAP. I'm already dreading what I'll come back to.
In other REALLY GREAT news, we made an offer on a house and it was accepted! We're starting to pack and get ready to hopefully move in the next month and a half. I won't be able to lift anything (oh, darn...), so I'm trying to get all of the smaller boxes packed that I can.

For those who have experienced Braxton Hicks... The left half of my belly shuddered or rippled for several seconds a few days ago, felt it strongly and also saw it a bit through my t shirt. Then a couple days ago, I suddenly felt a tight somewhat painful cramp that encased the whole middle of my belly, I was suspicious so started counting seconds and it lasted about 30-40 seconds, then went back to normal. Do either of these experiences sound like BH? Or normal lol? I'm not worried because they were quick one time things but I am curious! Thank you!

I can feel a ton of tightening/hardening and it lasts maybe 20-30 seconds and then let's up.

sunshiney yep the tight, somewhat painful cramp sounds like BH to me. I’ve been getting them at least 1-2x a day for the past week or two. They seem to be mostly on the right side of my belly (where baby seems to hang out) but sometimes they’re in the middle. Feels like a rock hard ball in my belly for 30-40 seconds. Most of them aren’t painful but I’ve had a few that have taken my breath away for a second.

sunshiney that second one sounds like BH to me. Idk about the rippling thing, although I did experience something similar last week.

Resting at home now. I have a doctors note saying I should stay home and can WFH, but I don’t really feel like doing anything so I’m not going to. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think I decided this afternoon that I am going to leave my firm. I’m killing myself there for what feels like zero gain and clearly it’s affecting my health. I was hoping to stick it out until LO’s arrival and use maternity leave to reflect on my options but I no longer feel that sticking it out is an option.

dashook I'm glad you're able to take it easy today! I have to say that the pace of your work life sounds incredibly intense. I certainly couldn't keep up with it! Best of luck as you consider your options and make decisions. It can't be easy to decide no matter what you choose.

Sometimes I get the tight uncomfortable feeling and I think it’s baby rolling or changing positions. or there’s RLP. Take your pick haha

dashook Sorry you’ve had a rough bout. Hopefully the change at work will help you start feeling better soon. Rest up! +1 for needing maternity jeans. Actually, I just need a clothing overhaul. I’ve been getting by with old maternity clothes and hand me downs from friends and I just feel frumpy AF!

I realized we'll need a brick and mortar registry too if we have a shower. I was surprised that Target had many of the items on my Amazon registry, and they also have a 15% completion discount. Have to pop in the store for their welcome box of coupons and samples!

At the OB patiently waiting to have this anatomy scan. It’s packed today so I’m thinking it may take a while. Pretty excited and nervous. I just hope everything looks good and LO is healthy!💗💙

cch So exciting!! dashook I hate that you're in this position, but whatever decision you make will be best for you, your family, and your new babe. WFH today, so I'm heading to Destination Maternity over my lunch hour to look for a dress to wear to two upcoming baby showers and a work trip next month. All of my mat dresses from DS are too summery, and the casual office dress code means that I have zero dressy things that will accommodate my bump. Hopefully I can find something!

It’s a girl!!! DD is going to be thrilled since she’s been saying she’s getting a sister 💗🎀💗 Everything looks good and I’m so grateful that the appointment went well. My anterior placenta is still low and to the left (explains why I always feel her on the right side) but my OB said she thinks it’ll move up and likely won’t cause any issues. Also baby is in the 95th percentile! I always had a feeling I was a week ahead but they’re leaving the due date and scheduling me for a growth scan in 10 weeks. Baby girl!

I found one dress that might work for the showers and trip. And crewneck sweaters were BOGO1/2, so I grabbed two. They’re nice and basic and don’t show cleavage, so I may get more colors if they wash well. Now I just need the weather to get its act together and cool off!

k we live like .25 blocks away from a Chipotle and have to be tempted by the delicious roast meat scents wafting around every afternoon. It's a hard temptation to resist! Good luck!

I haven’t had Chipotle in forever. Definitely not since BFP. I already have my heart set on Indian for lunch today but maybe tomorrow is Chipotle day.
