Oh. I handed DH my snoogle with the instructions to put it in the minivan. Guess what didn't make it. No, you had one job PBLH one job. He better give you all the pillows at your parents. His punishment will be sharing a bed with the octopus known as DS. So there. I'll sleep snoogleless but alone!

Last US 4 weeks ago baby was head down. I felt hiccups a couple days ago really low. And sometimes it feels like he's shoving his fist in my cervix. I'll find out next Tues if he's still head down but I think he's good. beefinch I heard head stands in a pool will help baby turn. Worth a shot!

I am waiting in line for the car wash. Also on my errand list are Home Depot, oil change, and then Krispy kreme to see if they have any pumpkin spice glazed donuts left.

roloma hope diabetes class goes well! You'll be a star pupil. Thank you! It was pretty easy. The dietitian joked at one point that I should probably just teach the class. There was only one other woman in the class today and she was fairly clueless. I felt bad for her. I am glad to get going on the testing. She had me do a practice test at 1hr 20m after a snack and I was at 82. I just did a true 2hr after a meal and got a 72. It looks like I can probably start adding more things back in. I'll see what dinner and fasting look like but so far so good! She did tell me that I need to eat more carbs. I am eating probably around 100g a day but I should be at 175-200g. Ugh. I am not sure about eating another 100g of "good" carbs. I feel like I am eating so many already. I'll have to start getting creative. Sweet potatoes, maybe? Seems like those would have a lot of carbs.

Loved it! He's only half days so he gets on the bus at 8:30 and home by 11:45. But he had a blast. His teacher said he did very well. I'm so happy. I was a bit unsure. Figured it could go really well, or really poorly. Lol

My shower is tomorrow and a friend who isn't invited just messaged my bff (the host) asking who was throwing my shower. She was hurt to find out it's tomorrow. But the thing is, the last time we hung out was over 3 years ago and it had been 6 years prior to that. I don't even have her phone number. She's my oldest friend, but we're basically just FB friends at this point. It seemed weird to invite her, but now she's hurt. Shit.

I'm glad you're headed away from the storm paperbagliz! My (dumb) friends just headed to Disney world yesterday because they didn't want to 'lose money'. I just read that the parks will be closed Sunday and Monday, so they will basically be losing anyway. Silly people. It looks so pretty there grumpycat! roloma, I love bread! I eat toast almost every breakfast. What about: oatmeal, granola and yogurt, crackers and cheese? My friends left Disney early and were able to get a full refund for everything including Halloween party tickets and their meal plan. Your friends made a huge mistake. Meanwhile, my ILs are joking about all the rides they've been able to walk on because of all of the people leaving Orlando. MAYBE YOU GUYS SHOULD, TOO.

This baby has been head down since at least 20wks. I started feeling hiccups about 2wks ago after my GD test.

I had 4 people today completely shocked that I was due in 8 weeks. All 4 of them said I'm not big enough. 😕Thanks. One even asked if I was sure if my due date and what did my doctor say. I feel huge. I don't ever gain weight during pregnancy (maybe 10 pounds) (and this is not a brag- it's a constant battle with me. But I'm bigger to begin with so I think that's part of it). But all 4 of them just seemed totally blown away that I was due so soon. They all were at a former work place and all knew I was a teacher so they were curious why I wasn't working I guess.
***this is not meant as a brag. It bothers me as much as it bothers people when others comment how "big" someone looks ***

They make comments if they think you're too big, they make comments if they think you're too small. I've been told both in the same day 😕 dont let it get to ya!! Something about pregnancy makes people feel its okay to lose all social decency when it comes to opinions and touching

cdnfarmgirl, no one thinks I'll make it to November based on the size of my bump vs my general person. Which is annoying given my history, don't put that early juju on me! I'm pretty sure if you took a poll of 100 people and asked them a pregnant woman's due date by the look of her bump, you'd have 100 different answers. No one knows anything about pregnancy.

I feel terrible that her feelings are hurt, but I still stand by my reasoning for not putting her on the list.

AnnPerkins, I totally agree. People seem to think they know what you're "supposed" to look like at different points in pregnancy, but they're clueless.

DD was frank breech for weeks. She was still breech at 36 weeks, then a week later at my growth scan she had flipped (and I felt nothing despite her measurements being 41+ weeks at that point). My doc wasn't even willing to discuss flipping options until 37 weeks, so it ended up moot, but I was going to turn down any suggestions of versions.
This one, no idea. Haven't had a scan since 20 weeks. I have one booked for 35 weeks, so we'll see then, I suppose! I think, based on the movement I feel, that he is often lying diagonally because I'll feel kicks/punches in my hips and ribs simultaneously... but he moves a LOT. The monitors at the hospital had to be adjusted every 10-20 minutes because he was moving so much and impossible to find. I don't know how he has all that room in there at this point. I think he's way smaller than DD was, heh.

Baby just stretched out with an arm or leg so hard that it actually hurt and felt like he was trying to crawl out of my stomach 😳It was such a strange sensation!

Just went to Sephora for some retail therapy, and the salesgirl randomly blurted out that she found out she was pregnant this morning and totally overwhelmed. So I'm consoling/reassuring her in the eye cream section...and then was awkwardly like "so I need to get going...good luck. Also which one of these is best for dark circles?" Poor sales girl and poor you. Way yo be a trooper. My bestie, who is due in February, and I were sitting in a Chinese food place over the weekend discussing our cravings, also why we were there. This teenage Chinese girl came out from the kitchen asking us how we picked our respective OB's. After we both told her she said something like, "ok, so I can just look online or something? Ok, thanks." Then she just went back to work. I really hope she's ok, but it was super weird.

Doctor confirmed she was head down by feel at my last appointment. I should have a growth scan at 36w (I think, I have such a jaded perception having had an ultrasound at every appointment last time). Hopefully she stays head down, but this one is squirrelly so who knows. She feels transverse again.

Are growth scans common in the US? Here, they only give them if there is some reason to think things may not be progressing as expected (e.g. history of complications, measuring large/small for dates, etc). Typically the only US everyone gets is the anatomy scan and you can opt-in to the IPS ultrasound at 12 weeks.
Or do we just have a lot of wonky pregnancies in this BMB? XD

XD I don't think it's super common. Most of my friends had 2-3 ultrasounds during their pregnancies. I'm going for #8 next week because of my history and the million and one risk factors I've got going on.

I've had extra monitoring for each of my three pregnancies: the first for PIH, the second because I had PIH with the first, and the third because twins. Most of my friends with "typical" pregnancies aren't having more than 2-3 US.

That is so many, bethkate. XD At least you get to see the baby all the time! I had 8 total last time and really loved seeing her so often. It's been odd to go so long between scans this time and knowing I'll likely just have the one more in a few weeks.
