Monday!

[duskymonkey]

Oh my! I've been radio silent here for the several days! and I can believe there is another baby!!! again
I still need to catch up. If anyone cares or have time....cliff note me since last Wednesday/Thursday?? I cant even remember when I was on last LOL! I think being unintentionally stuck in the hospital for 20 hrs with nothing to do other than browsing the inter webs got me to the point of not wanting to look at a computer screen. Bleh!
Also been super busy with dealing with insurance and other misc. landscaping and remodeling stuff. Our house door was basically a revolving door last Friday between inspections and sod, fence, sprinkler peeps with more showing up this week. I am exhausted. Also had to order another infant seat which should be arriving anytime today since I realized last Thursday that it was in the car that got rear ended. Still super pissed about that whole situation although we are thankful everyone came out unscathed but still. RAWR! aint nobody got time to deal with all that shit now! The one good thing being radio silent is I did get a ton of stuff done and managed to knit a hat for bubs! My knitting needles has been clicking since and now working on DS' Yoda hat for halloween! Hopefully bubs hat shows up below....y'll know how lame I am at posting images.

bootsorhearts1,   I truly am so sorry to hear about your dad. Being in palliative care is the absolute worst...the waiting is awful. Big Hugs!   Thinking of you and your family.

ssm, grocery orders seriously are a life saver. Ever since I've been on MBR, I've since discovered this service at our local grocers and it's been Ahamazing!! We still get produce in store but for other non perishable goods....it's the best! Also the fact that all I have to do is roll up to the front of the store and open up my hatch and it gets loaded in is just magical!

Taitai, Sorry to hear about DS...hopefully he's on the mend and you don't catch anything! Also I am like super impressed you're able to get beets there! and raspberry vinaigrette...I love beets but couldn't tolerate it 1st tri - the smell of dirt was too strong  but now I am like wanting to go get some and roast them and have them with oranges and goat cheese! Yum! Not necessarily a craving but I've been eating watermelon salad like it's going out of style this whole summer along with caprese and the past month...fig salads. I am sad that summer and my salad eating is coming to an end soon. Guess, soups and stews and root vegetables are coming up seasonally, something to look forward to.

I'm so sorry bootsorhearts1 about your dad. Sending all them the hugs.

I don't know if there's a record for how many times one can be sent to L&D in a pregnancy but I may be up there. Once again, I had a nonreactive NST. People in L&D recognize me now. I was one the monitor for about 2.5 hours when my OB in call let me go. This time I was actually stressed about it bc my growth scan showed the lil peanut grew a pound in 2 weeks, putting him in the 10th percentile now. I started crying in the office and my nose started bleeding. I hadn't had a nose bleed in like 20 yrs!

OB on call says make an appt with an MFM at the practice this week and he thinks they're not going to let me go past 37 weeks now. All I want to do is make it to 37 weeks so I'm not mad at that suggestion.

seventythree thinking of you tonight!! Hope all goes well!! <3 keep us updated Girl!

H ate the last cake ball (that he bought for me yesterday) and I'm annoyed. The only other sweet thing is a nasty ice cream sandwich type thing he likes. I need something with sugar.

Sorry about your now impending divorce.

In all seriousness, I'm sorry he ate all the good stuff in the house. That's just rude.

[curmudgeon]

Divorce is the only option now. I need to go buy something so I don't sit and stew over it. I'd tell him to go but he's supervising homework and bath time.


Edit for update: I found a cupcake. All is right.

littleowl913 I'm sorry for all of your trips to L&D and that things are not going as smoothly as you'd like them to. Big hugs. I hope you can make it to 37 weeks and that the MFM can give you some comfort. I love my MFM - they are used to more complicated cases and don't freak me out as much. Hang in there!

duskymonkey The beet salad was so tasty and now I want more! We got it from a salad place here in town that is a little expensive (probably because they import a lot of ingredients from Australia), but I was like - I'm really pregnant! I'm going to spend extra on a stupid special salad dang it! We've also been eating watermelon and feta - DS loves the sweet salty combo! Watermelon is local, but feta is imported and expensive. Sob. 😭😭

littleowl913 FX everything is ok and you make it to 37 without incident!

Yes, I just came here to look for it!

Add me to the list of ppl looking for seventythrees thread.

DD is better, we had a few instances of serious toddlering but otherwise had a good day. H came home with Chinese but in a grumpy mood since he only had lunch, forgot the fried rice and when we opened the order they gave us very little meat. He had to go to bed early since he has to be at work for 4 am so I have been watching tv and snacking.

We also have a shortlist of baby names, finally. H had some interesting choices, a lot of the suggestions were from the comic/superhero world. But we were able to come up with a few we both liked.

bootsorhearts1 I'm thinking of you, your dad, and your family. Can't imagine everything you're feeling right now. Sending love, light, and hugs.

[thecatsmeow]

bootsorhearts1 so sorry to hear about your Dad, you are in my thoughts.

[duskymonkey]

littleowl913, big big hugs. I know how you feel about baby. I had the same thing happen around 32 wks? ( can't remember) when they told me bubs dropped from 60th to low teens percentile. I was super worried due to other factors. Was your 1st on the smaller end? 4 wks later Bubs didnt catch up and was in mid teens but after looking at previous growth for DS, they concluded this was normal for us...bubs will be on the smaller spectrum. Anyways hoping and sending you much much good thoughts. Let us know how everything is going.

[littleowl913]

duskymonkey, DS measured about average at growth scans. I have another NST and BPP tomorrow and an appt with the MFM Thursday so we'll see what he says.
