Omg I didn't even register that it was a new month! These babies are gonna be here before we know it 😳
A friend of mine just gave me a big bag of tiny baby girl clothes and dude, I forgot how teeny tiny newborns are. My kids' clothes are like freaking giants outfits compared to these.

Going back to the dogs with people names convo...is it super weird to use our dog's name as the baby's middle name? His name is Patrick, and MH and I both really like how it sounds with the name we're considering.
I have no problem with it at all, but I am a crazy dog lady, so I have no concept of if this is a judge-worthy thing or not. 🤣

It would be a funny story as he gets older too haha

When did you guys start to get really short of breath in previous pregnancies? Was it like you just couldn’t breathe, or could you breathe ok if you were resting? Did it make you anxious at all?

Did it make you anxious at all? peggyhill I only remember this significantly with my first, I think because the sensation of less room to breathe as the baby expanded was entirely new. It made me extremely anxious, and I always wondered if something was wrong. I would have to get my husband to calm me down and try to regulate my breathing because it felt like I couldn't get enough air in which would make me panic (which of course makes it worse). I have not really noticed this at all in my other pregnancies. It sucks, but it's probably normal from expanding baby. I think I would have been less freaked out if I had been convinced it was normal.

stayingblonde, I think there will always be someone who hates. You should just go with what feels right to you. My only consideration if it were my family would be whether it’s likely to be an easy mark during sibling arguments later on, and how hurtful you think “Well, you were named after Mom’s dog!!” might be. And I think the answer just lies in how your family values pets and how you present the names to your kids.

peggyhill, I get winded climbing stairs, and have been almost since the beginning of this pregnancy. But with my last, once the baby was high enough (end of second and third tri), he liked hanging out in my rib cage. So basically then it was just difficult to breathe, period. Plus he hiccuped constantly and stretched and kicked me up there and gave me horrible heartburn. So there was just a lot going on in the chest area plus, yes, very hard to breathe. 😂

thinkchocolate05 , this scares me, because I’m a naturally anxious person and the idea of not getting enough air seems like the kind of thing that will send me into panic. I guess I’ll have to take it as it comes and hopefully I’ll get used to it.... roseinbloom , hopefully little man doesn’t like my rib cage so much lol

If anyone is looking for a Lillebaby carrier and doesn’t mind pink, the 6 in 1 embossed carrier in coral is $69 on Amazon right now. Sadly my airflow got wet and moldy in the garage last year, so I picked one up. It’s a great price.

Some guy I work with pointed at my belly today and said "I see you didn't take the suggestion to spring for the new TV. Har har." It took him 2x of repeating his dumb joke for me to even understand what he was trying to say. (We have no TV so MH and I just bone for entertainment? I guess?) Why are people so inappropriate? Why does this CW I hardly know think it is at all ok to make a joke to me about my sex life? Anyway, today was my last day of school and thank goodness because people are weird.

Apologies for being a slacker contributor, ladies. Apparently I can have social anxiety on even an internet forum. Having a hard time wrapping my head around how fast time seems to be moving. Already half way thru June?! I just hit 20 weeks on Monday and been concerned because I still haven't felt a single thing- no flutters, no bubbles. But anatomy scan on Tuesday showed him just moving all over the place. Had no issue putting it out there plain as day that he has Male anatomy. Perhaps your placenta is placed in front so he’s harder to feel? One of the doctors I work with said she didn’t feel her first until after 6 months due to her placenta. Glad to hear everything else is going well though per your anatomy scan!

That is something... pretty sure I would have to take that straight to HR/higher up. I have coworkers I could joke with in a similar fashion (pretty sure I am the oddball here: I work in a warehouse, so not a "professional" setting by any real means) but only certain ones, and never in front of others who aren't a part of this "group" where it would be okay. I would also take it to HR. Not professional or acceptable workplace behavior.

Passed my GTT! Blood pressure still low so looking like I'm cleared for our Australia trip in two weeks. I'm having one extra OB appointment just before since it will be four weeks where we're traveling before I see the new OB in our new state. I managed to find a great transitional OB here. Very chill and hands off. And going on maternity leave herself right when we head out, so perfectly timed.

I made the mistake of not bringing a snack to have after my GTT and I decided to go grocery shopping afterwards. I started sweating and having hot flashes. Thankfully it only lasted about an hour and the grocery store had a cafe so i stopped for a veggie burger and fruit and felt loads better. You’d think a 3x mom would know better? Lol but no.

I actually felt fine after it this time (last time I crashed hard immediately) until that night and then I felt like crap.

Also, baby is breech already. I know it's not a big deal yet but with my history, she's not likely to go head down without some help and coaxing so for the next 14 weeks, it's chiropractors and spinning babies. Yaaaay. I wish I could find a provider that would deliver breech again because I remember it being a lot of work getting #3 head down!

This is a real random, but I need friends IRL to chat with. I have a few small annoyances I just want to vent and be a little petty about and when I approached my mom and sis neither just let me complain to complain, they needed to make up excuses for everyone else. I’m generally a nice, forgiving person who makes up excuses upon excuses for people. Just let me have my infrequent little annoyances and don’t invalidate my feelings please and then backpedal later that I’m allowed to have feelings.
