GTKY - Are you doing anything special for Valentine's day?
MH actually has PT conferences on Vday so he'll be at work until late, but then has Friday off so we'll probably drop E off with my mom during the day and go do something. Not sure what since we didn't really budget for anything, but maybe a matinee show or something.

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 29 today - due 4/22 Baby is the size of a: acorn squash FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM Team: 💙 Appointments: tomorrow for tdap Symptoms: so much heartburn. so much peeing. so much insane pressure and lightning crotch at the end of the day (like 5pm and on... during the day, I'm fine.) i've been getting bloody noses too, which is a fun twist. Milestones: almost 30 weeks! Rants/Raves/Vents: Kiddo is ACTIVE. I'm getting a little scared for myself. He punches and kicks and stretches ALL THE TIME and if I didn't know better, I'd think he was starting a fight club in there. Unrelated, but I'm also getting super nervous about money - I thought we were getting a tax refund, but LOLOLOL we owe. A lot. Big middle finger to 45 and that asshole tax plan. Like, that money should have paid for 3-4 months of kiddo's daycare. FML. I need to start playing the lotto. And address my current tax withholdings. Unrelated x2 - I bought H his father's day gift (lol) - I got him this with what we expect the baby to look like: hoorayheroes.com/personalised-books-for-children/when-theo-grows-up-daddy-edition It came already and I read it and wept for about 25 minutes. So naturally if H doesn't cry, it's grounds for divorce. GTKY - Are you doing anything special for Valentine's day? Nada. My birthday is exactly a week later, so we celebrate then. Plus I worked as a florist during college, and fuck no am I paying for flowers when they jack up prices 125%. I do fully expect a card, though, and we'll probably make a nice dinner.

lemondrop, we have similar babies, I swear mine must be taking double aerobics classes or something. All. The. Time. Sorry about the tax situation - MH did our preliminary numbers and we're in the same situation. Like, how can there be a $4000 swing between 2 years?!

lemondrop , we have similar babies, I swear mine must be taking double aerobics classes or something. All. The. Time. Sorry about the tax situation - MH did our preliminary numbers and we're in the same situation. Like, how can there be a $4000 swing between 2 years?! Right? I took video this weekend because I was telling my MIL about how crazy he is, and you can literally see my stomach bouncing and getting lopsided and little jabs. It's like he legit thinks he can exit via my belly button. And RIGHT?!!?! about the tax crap. We both withhold at married and 0 - last year we got like $5600 back. This year we owe about $4k. I sent my paperwork to my cousin (a CPA) and she briefly looked at it, and said that we weren't missing anything. So now I flail and I immediately went into my ADP account and changed my withholdings to single and 0. |

lemondrop lol I gotta laugh at myself or I’ll just cry. I’m sorry about the nosebleeds, I had those with D2 and totally forgot about that fun pregnancy symptom, I would wake up with a pillow/face covered in blood sometimes which is very alarming but even scarier for your spouse 😂🤦🏻♀️. I’m so excited for this baby to arrive but also like holy shiiiiiiiit!

I’m so excited for this baby to arrive but also like holy shiiiiiiiit! I haven't woken up with a nose bleed yet, but yesterday I wore a new white maternity shirt and happened to sneeze into the crook of my elbow. Wrong choice. Blood spatter everywhere, I could have been the next victim on Making a Murderer. I tried to spot clean, but it's a cheap Target shirt so it's a sweet faded orange now. H told me I should just keep using it as a rag when I get nose bleeds, and then try to bleach it after, and maybe it'll end up a cool design. lol. He's so sweet. |

Ugh to all the colds and viruses going around! It's so not fair. And oh god lemondrop I've been avoiding getting our paperwork together for our tax guy because I just have no idea what to expect this year and if we owe I don't even know what we're going to do. I need to get on the ball though and figure it out, so I have more time to prepare if we do and don't have to mess with it after this kid is here. Oy. And you all have made me realize I really should do something for E for Vday this year, I hadn't even really thought about it....oops. She's old enough now to get it and have fun with it though. I'll probably make a fun breakfast and have MH get her a flower or something little (my dad always got my sister and I little gifts for Vday and it's been a special thing for me, I want him to continue it for her). |

My baby seems fairly mellow, which probably means nothing but I’m really crossing my fingers that this will keep up once he/she is born.

No fair, maternity clothes are $$! Next time if you can, wait until you can get some milk and let the stain soak in milk. I know it sounds so weird but it works really well on blood stains. I swear I’m not a murderer. |

Is anyone else having terrible headaches? My BP seems fine, I just can’t get rid of this endless pounding headache. It’s like, day 3? 4? I’m trying drinking extra water, and Tylenol/caffeine but not having much relief. I tried to buy excedrine here but it’s not available in Canada in the form that would work. 🙄
Mostly just whining 😬

My first was wild and was a very ornery baby, and this one is wild too.... joy! My daughter was chill, and is chill now as an almost 2 year old. She also loves her sleep! Guessing one twin will be wild and one twin chill. Hopefully the chill one loves his sleep like his sister does! |

Tlex, I suffer from migraines not pregnant. With A, I started getting horrible ones that also had loss of feeling/numbness in my arms and messed with my speech. The neuro I saw said even no tylenol. WTF lady?!? Anyway, OB said tylenol extra strength, a can or two of soda and a shit ton of water, and then alternate cold pack and warm packs between forehead and back of neck.
