I can never remember the day of the week during summer. Lol. I also got super confused today because my mom texted me saying they were on their way home from the cabin this morning and they usually don't come home till tuesdays. So I thought it was Tuesday for a bit this morning.

Big and Little Lebowski. The black shirt and lighting kind of downplay the bump, but you get the idea.   |

Taking it easy today and working from home for a few hours this afternoon. I think the baby changed positions yesterday and that was partially why I had some contractions. I'm sincerely hoping this isn't a trend for the next 12 ish weeks. I feel more movement and stronger movement too.

I ran and grocery shopped this morning. Now I'm inhaling a Wegmans sub then heading out to go shopping with my fellow pregnant bestie.

I couldn't breath all day, he was right up in my ribs. Then I had TONS of contractions and this morning he's low. |

AnnPerkins, those pants are perfection!! grumpycat, glad you seem to be feeling a bit better and taking it easy. My baby is moving like crazy, can pretty much always see it from the outside and when I was up in the middle of the night the other night she was definitely stretched out top to bottom on my right side! I'm surprised how quickly it's escalating, haha. cnf, that sounds like a lovely day!

AnnPerkins that is the very best. My H would approve- he loves the Big Lebowski.

I'm sincerely hoping this isn't a trend for the next 12 ish weeks. I feel more movement and stronger movement too. My baby was legit thumping back and forth in the MOTN last night. So I am gulping coffee. I imagined the baby running and jumping on to one of those Velcro walls. But like, doing that back and forth for 2 hours. |

Just to move this over from the other thread...
I'm already washing (old) baby clothes. But unfortunately the first stuff I pulled out is like 18 month stuff. So it will go in tupperware in the closet. But it has been sitting in a plastic bag in the storage unit so it needed to get done.
The infant stuff I really need to wash is trapped at the back.
I also do not wash new clothes.
I also do not use the free and clear or dreft detergent, because fortunately DD never had any skin sensitivity.

snuff9861, you are superwoman! I don't think I'd be a very effective night shift worker at the best of times. thatgolfb, I really like your analogy of the velcro wall, lol. Also, I only sometimes wash new clothes for myself, so while I'll wash all the baby stuff I've got already, I can't say that later when I buy new stuff I'll wash it first. I sometimes use free and clear when you can get a jumbo jug for like $7 of the Purex one at Walmart. DH and I both have sinus allergies, so it probably helps that anyway.

They called me at 630 this morning to work a day shift. I laughed at them and hung up. |

I wash all new clothes ... my mom works at a kids' clothing store and she's told me about all the chemicals they use on the clothes to keep them protected during transport. I have sensitive skin too though.
I messaged my nurse to see if I need to fast for my GTT. The answer was yes. Damn it. Well, I'm eating during my appointment after they do the blood draw.

Ugh. Just got the call that I failed the 1 hour. I have to do the 3 now. I'm fairly annoyed. This was the second 1 hour I did already because baby was measuring big at 20 weeks. So they had me do it then and I passed at that point, but they did tell me the number was high-ish. I think I'd rather just do the GD diet at this point and monitor my sugars.

That GD test was horrible. Had to ask to sit by a window and to lay down, fasting does not go down well with me.
Gotta call tomorrow afternoon at 1pm, hoping for good news. My arm is so bruised from being stabbed twice, and I've felt like crap all day. DD hasn't been overly wriggly either, but I haven't stopped all morning, tried to nap, and then went shopping with my mum, so she's been lulled to sleep.
I've got midwife tomorrow morning first thing so I'll mention it to her, and she will take extra caution in listening into her heartbeat. I don't want to start stessing about movements this early, because she has moved today, I've had a couple of sessions just not as many HARD kicks where she's like nearly winded me. I like it when she's very strong with her movements, not just twisting and turning etc. I'm over thinking I know but I'm a very paranoid person when it comes to this lol. Its when she hasn't given any hardly movements I'll start to worry, and I want to be closer to 32 weeks

That sucks fancy, sorry. Yay pootsen, so exciting! My nursery decorating has stalled out. We did buy a new tv stand for our living room though, #focused. Oddly, considering my nursery furniture is from Ikea, I'm kind of obsessed with unique antique or refurbished antique or custom furniture and art etc. It's actually usually cheaper than a furniture store, and awesome knowing that no one else has exactly the same thing! At the antique shop there was a sign that was from a farm or something that said 'Fresh Raw Milk' and I LOLed thinking about putting it in the baby's room. |

I got to go to Target alone yesterday morning. It should be have glorious except I was so uncomfortable the entire time. Back, stomach, legs, I was just aching.
I did find some clothes and ordered more off Amazon because I'm outgrowing everything from my previous pregnancies. I hate spending more money because these are definitely my last, but I can't go to work with my belly hanging out.
