Hey all! We're halfway there!! Morning! We got power back late yesterday afternoon! I'm SO far behind. Now I'll be able to keep up better. I'm 22 weeks today. Feeling good. Just have some back pain. Excited to start thinking about the nursery. Our guest/baby room walk in if HUGE and literally stacked to the ceiling with crap. I have a feeling we can get rid of stuff/consolidate better so that needs to be handled after DS goes to bed at some point. We also need to move Wife's desk into our master so we have actual room for a crib. It'll be week before we even start buying stuff for the baby's room but I want to start getting ready! 22 weeks, note the clinger  He LOVED the flashlights!  |

Hi!
I am relaxing a bit while G is at school. The bus doesn't drop her back home for another hour. I have already cleaned all of downstairs. Upstairs is on my list for tomorrow.
I am going to eat a yogurt without G asking for some every 5 seconds. It's the little things in life. Lol

My AS went well! It seemed to go super fast but the tech and MFM Dr said everything looked great.
Because I need something to worry about, I asked about my cervical length. Techs measurement was 4.1 and Drs was 3.6. He said both were normal and can vary due to pressure, bladder fullness etc. I like the 4.1 measurement better than the 3.6 and have down that I was 4.9 w DS2.
Anyone record their measurement? Im on my feet so much and feel like I may need to adjust that.

rebeccabunch I didn't even know that was a thing to think about. Why does your cervical length matter?

rebeccabunch I also didn't know that was something to keep track of. I'm not even sure I was told with my DS. If your doctor isn't worried, try not to stress yourself out.

Poor DS is definitely sick. He woke up at 1:30 a.m. and was kind of stumbling around his room. When I went in to get him he was shaking. I felt so bad for him. I took his temp and it was 101. I gave him a bit of Motrin and he went back to bed until 7. We've been laying in bed watching tv all morning and he just fell back asleep next to me. Doctors appointment at 11.

😘 thanks for the quick responses!
Cervical length can be tied to pre term labor. While I personally don't have PTL history I oddly have a high number of close friends/family members that do. I also get an insane amount of Braxton hicks contractuons (already get them every day) so I think these two things have me aware of cervical length and I always took comfort in mine being extra long.
At this point they want your cervix over 3 so if the drs measurement is the true one I'm still ok. I'm just loony and need something to obsess over. I'll probably find a way to get another u/s measurement done in a few weeks.
ETA - now I'm probably worrying others for no reason which is shitty. I asked what mine was. They would not have told me if I didn't don't ask. I think this falls into the no news is good news category.
Just ignore me.

hedwig hope your DS is better soon! rebeccabunch sorry you are worried, I'll have to second everyone and say if your doctor isn't concerned try not to be! I have a history of preterm labour and this is the first I've heard of measuring that! Today is funeral day, which is always hard. It's going to be a HUGE crowd. My kids are sick, and for the first time this whole dry summer it's grey and gloomy and expected to start raining into the weekend. Basically, I'm just ready to give my friends hugs, for today to be over, and begin to emotionally and mentally feel better 😌❤ On a much lighter note though, I have a bump pic to share from the weekend ☺

rebeccabunch I looked for studies just for the hell of it and are cervical length of less than 2.2 cm at 24 weeks is associated with a 20% risk of preterm delivery. The normal cervical length of a non-pregnant woman is between 4 and 5 cm. Seems like you are more than likely in the clear, those readings sound totally normal! I can link some scientific papers if you want to spiral more, I am a scientist so I nerd out on things like this :-P

22 weeks and change! We have our third 20ish hour round trip road trip of the last month and a half this weekend and I am so excited to get it over with and just stay home for a while. We will have to travel for Thanksgiving and then thanks to this baby we are staying put for Christmas! I love quiet Christmases at home.  |

rebeccabunch I didn't even know that was a thing to think about. Why does your cervical length matter? +1... it never even occurred to me to ask what the length was. I know it's not good if it's too short, but i figured that they'd tell me if there was something out of the norm that was worth monitoring and worrying about |

tiffrobot LT for the bump, not for the tough day you have ahead. I'm sorry for your loss! I think I must have missed who passed away, but regardless, death is so hard to deal with. Big hugs! peachesncream last year MH's whole family was in another country on a big vacation for Christmas. We couldn't afford to go so we stayed home. It was the best Christmas we've ever had. We obviously missed seeing them on Christmas, I love them all dearly. But it was so nice to stay put all morning long and enjoy our own little family time before going to my brothers house for my family's crazy big Christmas dinner. Quiet christmases are the best

Thanks amesie. Maybe I didn't go into a lot of detail here, I can't remember! Short story is she was only 36 and had a long battle with ovarian cancer. She was someone very special in our community and very close to most of my best/closest friends, so a lot of my emotions is stemming from knowing the pain they are in too. |

rebeccabunch I didn't ask for the length this time around simply because like you I will worry even if the doctors assure me they are normal results. FWIW, a girlfriend of mine had hers measuring a lot less than yours and was all good. Maybe take this as extra motivation to put your feet up and relax more. I also get Braxton hicks a lot these days, multiple times a day peachesncream Still amazed at those road trip lengths. I would definitely not be sane after only one of them tiffrobot sorry for the rough day today. Sending you some peaceful vibes hedwig sorry for the sick baby. Hope he feels better soon

I felt like I was really missing out on a pumpkin spice latte so I decided to splurge and get a keto version this morning. FX this doesn't affect my BG numbers
I'm almost done D's big boy room and we are planning on doing the transfer this weekend. I need to stock up on some safe toys he can play with alone. Also wish I could stock up on wine knowing the torture that is coming our way. Has anyone had to deal with trying to keep a toddler in their room/bed when it's time to sleep? I don't want to lock him in but I also don't need him up and about all hours of the night

I don't want to lock him in but I also don't need him up and about all hours of the night We transitioned G a month or so ago to a twin bed from her crib and she stays in it just fine. I have a video monitor so I can see what she is doing. The first day she tried to get out of bed but I told her to get back in bed over the monitor and she never tried it again. She sleeps great in it usually. Of course today she is not napping. 😞 |

Omg tiffrobot that is so horrible. I feel so heartbroken for that family. It sounds a lot like my dad's cousins family... I won't go into detail to derail the thread, but just so much tragedy to one family, with losing so many people so young |

maddisonrose I transitioned DD about 3 weeks ago and it was such a smooth transition. I was DREADING it, like having straight up anxiety about not having her caged in. But she has been a doll about it. She loves her big girl bed. Once we tuck her in for both nap and bedtime, she doesn't move. We've had a couple nap times where she was more interested in playing, but one of those times she wasn't tired enough and the other time she was too congested. The only thing we're dealing with now, which I think is exacerbated from her cold she had last week, are the early morning wake ups. When she was in her crib, she would sometimes wake up early, talk with her little animals, but then drift back to sleep until 630. But now she's up and about at 5-530 and there's no putting her back to bed. You might be pleasantly surprised with the transition! Or it could be complete hell haha 🤷🏼♀️
