I am up and showered. G is still sleeping. I am not surprised because she went to bed late. I am going to dinner with family this evening. Before then I may hit the play gym and go visit my aunt. I had a mini revelation this morning. I figured out why I don’t like pregnancy. Besides being uncomfortable and feeling gross I also don’t feel like myself. When I tested this time around I didn’t expect a positive and the only reason I did is because I had a weird pain and I felt off. I feel sort of out of body. I don’t think I can explain it but I just don’t feel like me. Maybe I am just crazy.

marygracerich I can somewhat to the not liking myself during pregnancy. I hate having to be a human pin cushion and going through SO many med increases. I don't blame the baby, I blame my brain for misfiring.

DH is working this morning so I'm chillin with the toddler. YouTube clips (kid appropriate) are parenting until I'm more awake.
I had a weird dream about the president and other top politicians having to share a shower with me? Where does my brain get this crap????

We just got back from a pumpkin patch, so now I'm stuck in the car while DD naps.
And it's my birthday today! So my parents will babysit while H and I go to dinner with friends. And we'll have my favorite cake 😀 It's called Midnight Ecstasy and is chocolate with chocolate icing, a raspberry layer, and tiny chocolate chips on the outside. Yummmmmm.

I did some major cleaning/purging today. DD1 is moving into the spare bedroom and baby into the nursery. How do I accumulate so much stuff?!?
I feel so much better since I got through a huge chunk though.

G is asleep. MH and I are watching SVU. I am sitting with my feet up because my ankles are swollen.

I’ve got really bad restless legs and a pounding headache so I’m currently walking laps around my kitchen island in the dark hoping the Tylenol kicks in.
DD2 had a soccer game this morning, and then DH and I were supposed to get the rest of the weekend kid free. Unfortunately DD3 still has a fever so we ended up back at home with her. We did get to wander Home Goods and IKEA, and go out for a nice seafood dinner though, so still a win.

Hbd bassa!! Where did you go to dinner? E had a 24 hr bug yday into today but she puked in the car as we pulled into the vets office last night. Thankfully today has been all fine and her fever is even gone so it's just one and done. We went to a local town Octoberfest and it was really lame. Then we got home and I fell asleep on the couch. Oops.

Staying up watching 50 Shades of Grey simply because it's on tv is worth how tired I'll be in the morning, right??

I have a very weird but convenient thing happening that I think may be pregnancy related.
The hair on my legs and under my arms has basically stopped growing. I was in the shower yesterday and realized I don’t think I’d shaved my legs in a month but they barely needed it. My underarms has been at least a week. This is a rare positive development. Anyone else?

Baby started moving like crazy while I was laying down with DS to read stories to put him to bed, so I came downstairs to get DH to try to feel her moving...of course she got really still. He hasn't felt her yet but I feel like if we can get the timing right, he'll be able to now! I have an anterior placenta, so I feel like now is pretty expected. Are your SOs able to feel the baby?

I'm at 24 weeks and my husband hasn't felt the baby yet either. It's pretty much non-stop for me though!

Baby moves around all the time but I notice the same thing. When I want her to move and put my hand on my belly or DH does she’s completely still. DH thinks he’s felt her but he has not felt any of her bigger movements yet.

Yeah, the first time DH felt DS I think was when he had hiccups one time and it was more reliable movement!

MH has been able to feel her since 17w. She’s a busy baby and a hard kicker and my placenta is completely in the back. I’m at the point now where you can see my belly distort from her movements

We are taking a last minute trip to my dad's farm so DH can hunt and DS has been BEGGING to see his cousin. Win, win. I'm sure my dad will have a smart ass comment for how huge I am since I haven't seen him since June.

Anterior placenta has so much to do w it. I didn’t have one w DS1 and the movement was visibly wild by now.

Happy birthday, bassa! Today has been great. DS slept til 8 (that never happens), MH and I took him to the park before nap, and now I have him at a play place and he’s being so chill just playing independently.
