Thanks for the well-wishes re: BP. Took it again and it's 134/93. Womp womp. So not any lower really, but also not any higher, so that's good! I suspected it was a bit off today because my ankles were swollen again. One day of higher readings doesn't mean anything, so I'll just keep an eye on it and look out for other red flags (severe headache, swollen face or hands, floaters in vision, abdominal pain).
The vision thing is hard for me to keep an eye on because I had laser surgery to repair a retinal tear and sometimes I can see the burn marks. It's so freaky.
I am going to start writing my report card comments now, though. And leaving my classroom in a state where it's not the worst if I don't show up the next day. Currently my class is a mess of piles of student work, backlogged marking, and growing collections of baby stuff my coworkers are giving me that I am waiting to "have room for" at home. LOL.

Oh boo misskilljoy. Hopefully it is just a one off and it is lower tomorrow. I can't seem to get enough chili. I had it for lunch and dinner tonight. I just want it for every meal. This is new. I always like chili but craving it this strongly is just stupid.

misskilljoy, sorry for the high readings. I was induced with dd because of BP. Lie on your left side and hydrate as much as you can. I hope it's better tomorrow.

I was induced last time due to pre-e, so this is familiar territory unfortunately. By this point last time around I had been on bedrest for weeks and was just starting meds, so I'm still coming out ahead even if it stays high. Thanks!

The ice cream truck needs to stop coming around. The other kids in the neighborhood got ice cream and ds had just thrown his utensils/has been a mess all day so he did not get any. Tantrum ensues. Sigh. I saw a thing on Buzzfeed about lies parents tell their kids and one was that the ice cream truck plays music when it runs out of ice cream. 😂 For awhile he thought that the big kids got to go for rides on the ice cream truck. He didn't even like to eat ice cream until about a month ago when a neighbor bought all the kids treats from the truck. Normally we can tell him that he has to eat his dinner first and he's ok with an ice pop. But redirecting is impossible on no nap Mondays.

I've had two bowls of ice cream today (with caramel sauce and chocolate chips) #noshame
I should go to bed while I can. But lately, just as I fall asleep, my husband walks in and I wake up. Then I'm up for the next few hours. I almost told him to just sleep in the semi truck on the field, but figured that was a bit mean. Lol.

I pizza science experimented last night and thought about you. I had two pieces, granted they were thin crust, but BS was only 96 when I checked. I totally could have had the third piece I wanted. So I had that for my morning snack today

And caught up, you guys were chatting during the night (for me lol)
When dropping DS of at nursery this morning he was not happy about being left by us, cried and all I could hear was "Mummy! Mummy!"
My. Heart.
I then waited outside a couple minutes and looked through the door, he was with his key worker and she was talking to him and he just went with a bottom lip "Mummy?"
I literally could have burst into tears
I had to just walk away or I would have gone back in there. Rang up when I got home and he is fine, playing outside lol.
Me and H gave the house a clean and I done a load of washing and hung it out, I have no washing... wooo. I'm trying to keep on top of it because I know after the baby is here it's all going to go to shit lol. I'll have the washing from DS/H to do when I get home from hospital, and then all the hospital clothes and it'll go back to normal.
Time to go get DS in 10 minutes and I can't wait lol

Every joint in my entire pelvis is grinding today. Everything hurts so badly, oh my god. My whole bump is aching and sore too. I feel like crying and going back to bed. I really wish I wasn't chained to my job and could afford to go out early. Being on my feet all day is going to destroy me.

Ohhh I'm sorry you feel lousy, cnf. I hope the last few weeks pass quickly for you and you get some relief soon. beefinch, it's so hard to leave them when they're sad like that. DD sometimes has moments like that still and it breaks my heart. Poor darlings.

Ultrasound is already over. I was in there for maybe 5 minutes. Despite my lack of weight gain and how much smaller I am than last time, baby is 90th percentile and estimated at 6lbs14oz right now. One measurement in, she asked, "Sooo... how big was your first baby?"
LOL.
So my belly is measuring behind again but the baby is enormous. And head down! Didn't get any pictures because he was sooooo smushed down in my pelvis, but I briefly saw his face.

I gave up once I started showing since sex was no longer on the table. No shame. I had done that but then the hair got long and I couldn't see to trim it lol. It was just bugging me too much! I don't even care about it being waxed, I just needed the hair to be shorter. You are all welcome for that in depth analysis of my bush. This! I wound up using an intricate mirror system because I needed the hair shorter.

peggels24, still elevated this morning and I'm a little headachy, but I also didn't drink my morning coffee due to growth scan so I'm having that now to see if it helps. Not in the danger zone, just the same as last night.

cnf, ugh I am so so sorry. Pregnancy can be so debilitating. I am right there with you... by the end of the day it hurts to walk. I waddled/hobbled to my car yesterday after work and I anticipate the same happening today.

DH is working from home today and keeps asking how I'm feeling.
"Are they ready? Don't you want them to share a birthday with the Obamas' anniversary? How's it going?"
Poor guy is trying to get out of a big project, but no thank you to babies today!!

This pregnancy has flown by.
Like I suddenly woke up this morning thinking I have like potentially less than 3 weeks until she's here
Sorry what, how did that even happen? Only seems like yesterday that I was getting a little bump. It almost makes me feel like I'm evicting her before she's fully cooked
Although the size of my belly and the scan measurements beg to differ, this little girl 100% going to be fully cooked by 37 weeks, she doesn't need the extra weeks. DS didn't need those extra weeks either so that makes me feel better inducing her to get her out.
Is it silly to feel a bit guilty about being induced to get her out before she's TO big? I know she's so happy in there and I'm just forcing her to come out, that's what it feels like.
Am I being silly lol?

beefinch if your doctor's feel it's time and ok to induce then I would trust them. I get it though. I don't want this baby to come out until he's ready. Especially since he'll be so small during cold and flu season.

I'm with you beefinch - how are we so close to baby time??? I feel like there's so much left to do. At the same time, my huge belly is telling me that we're so close! Changed my c section date to 10/25, which is 3 weeks from tomorrow. We're still hoping baby B flips from breech to vortex, but not holding my breath at this point. If not, I think I may opt for the c-section, especially if I don't go into labor. I really want to avoid having a vaginal birth for A and then an emergency C section for B. But I'm a little nervous about a c section even though I know they are safe. Too many episodes of Grey's Anatomy!

I ate soup for lunch (well a 9:30 AM lunch because 5 am work day) and now I feel like I am going to explode.
I will never learn.

bethers, that would be pretty sucky, and then you'd have to heal in TWO ways after, yikes. I'll send you good vibes! cnf, maybe you can find some accommodations at work to help you out. I keep picturing one of those kneeling scooters that people use when they break their leg, hahaha. misskilljoy, I'll think BP lowering thoughts for you. Glad your ultrasound went well! Big baby We should have a pool going on who's going to have the biggest baby You, beefinch maybe? Any other contenders?
