My dreams are so vivid right now I think it’s making me more tired. And they are all the really annoying kind where you are trying to accomplish something and can’t get it done. Dream 1: I’m renewing my vows at my parents house. But the house is a mess for some reason so we are all frantically trying to clean up. Then I am eating spaghetti with marinara sauce (in my white dress?!) and I spill on myself right before I am supposed to go down the aisle. I woke up as we were trying to sponge it off. Dream 2: I am at a hotel celebrating some award FIL won. DH asks me to go get champagne downstairs. The first time the trays get mixed with room service and I open the tray to discover bananas instead of champagne glasses. The second trip I forget the name of FIL’s favorite champagne and have to go back up and ask. Third trip there is a fight on the elevator and the glasses get knocked over. Fourth trip the bartender is busy and asks me to sit at a table and he’ll bring them over. I woke up waiting.
What is my brain trying to say? Bananas???

I feel awful. I have a sore throat, I’m congested and I’m a little nauseous. I’m going to work in little while but I don’t want to.

marygracerich, I hope it is just pregnancy congestion and not you getting sick! My weird dreams have been starting up again and I slept like crap last night so I feel like a zombie this morning. I need/want to get a massage scheduled soon, I'm starting to get back pain doing things that used to not bother me. I sewed a lot this weekend (finished up a tree skirt quilt and 4 baby blankets) and my back was killing me when I got up.

Add me to the list of vivid dreams. Last night in my dream I was trying to explain to DH why I needed alone time with an ex of mine. This particular ex was pretty emotionally abusive so that is not really be something I would ever want. Although I also dream about needing to complete tasks where everything goes wrong so I cannot do it, right there with you snowyowl I know I'm preaching to the choir here but I honestly feel like pregnancy is slowly killing me. My aches and pains are much worse than my last pregnancy and I can't imagine 10 more weeks of this. I feel like my lady bits are all swollen and VERY achy. I'm tempted to ask my OB to take a peek at everything at my appointment this week, is that weird?

Trust me, I generally assume any question I have to ask a doctor isn't the strangest thing they've ever heard, heck probably heard that day. If you have concerns, bring them up, or else you'll start to possibly irrationally worry about them!

If I stand for too long my left leg goes numb probably because of baby's position. I have a growth scan tomorrow so I'm anxious to see how she is positioned and hopeful that she's not breech like DD1.

I'm just gonna C&P my FB status from last night because it's really cute.
Over the last couple days, DS has started to show some concern and share his strong feelings about how much he hopes the baby is a girl not only because Uncle *my brother's name* has two sisters (and "that is soooo nice!"), but "because I really love having a little sister!" (How sweet is that?) So today I let him try to reconnect and hold his hand on my belly for awhile and feel some kicks and I said "why don't you let it know you'll love it whether it's a boy or girl?" He repeated that statement to my belly button, then lowered his voice and added "but I reeeeally hope you are a girl!"

I had this at my last pregnancy right around 30w and they assured me while it was very comfortable, it was normal. But I would definitely mention it!

Good morning ladies! Hubs just went to drop off M at school and I am drinking my coffee eating breakfast! Today might be the day I get to hold my baby for the first time! Fx! He’s tolerating feeds now which is great! Hopefully by today we will have our little guy named! I also think they were going to weigh and measure him yesterday, I can’t wait to get to the hospital! Lol excuse my emotions but try to enjoy being pregnant, I was pregnant and then not so quickly I do miss it, I grab my belly out of habit but he’s not there.

Hi all. Busy weekend, took DD to the zoo for some Halloween fun and entertained my ILs late Sat.
We are at a name impasse - Pls see name thread- I am pretty sure this little girl will never have a name.
I'm between classes this week! Hopefully I can get my house under control.

Ladies! It’s been a while since I’ve been on here, but things are finally (hopefully) settling down more at work so I’ll have some free time to participate.
We had our housewarming party a couple weeks ago so now we’re enjoying the calm before the next storm: getting baby clothes out of storage and working on the nursery. I feel so unprepared with this baby. I randomly bought a case of size 1 diapers yesterday because they were on “sale” and holy hell are diapers expensive! DD has been PT for almost a year so I forgot how expensive they are. 😳
I’ve been feeling good for the most part. There are days when I can barely move because my lady bits are so swollen and ache, but I had this with DD so I know it’s normal. I’ve been experiencing Braxton hix contractions so that’s been fun. A new thing that I did not have with DD. Unless I did and didn’t pay them any attention.
Anyway, happy Monday!

I posted this yesterday but i seemed to have crossed over to the uncomfortable phase of pregnancy. Back, hips, ribs, neck, belly button soreness, bump... All at once BAM!

I can’t even imagine the emotional roller coaster. My friend that delivered exactly at 28 weeks would forget she wasn’t pg a lot and I imagine that’s a crazy complicated ball of feelings. I hope you get to hold him and maybe connect w other moms at your nicu going through this right now. So good to hear he’s tolerating feeds. XO 😘

Just drank the orange drink at my glucose test and am waiting the hour. It wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting. Almost like orange Tang. The nurse has warned me twice already not to vomit. I've been here 8 minutes lol
For the people wondering about the Sears sales, I went yesterday and everything was 20% off. So not much better than any regular sale they do. I'll probably go back in a month or so and see if anything is more reduced. They had a ridiculous amount of baby stock.

Hi. I had a long day of work and it’s not over yet. I was helping to set up a new store. After dinner I am going to make a trip to my store. Thanks for all the well wishes guys. I still have a sore throat and I am super tired. The congestion is normal for me during pregnancy but it sucks so much. MH knows that I feel like crap and that I am working like crazy today so he has been super helpful. He washed all of the sheets and remade the beds. Then he did the rest of the laundry, took care of G and put away the stuff I asked him too.

I failed my one hour by two points 😭 so I need to go in for the two hour sometime over the next week. Balls. BUT my bigger concern was my placenta placement in the follow up ultrasound and it has safely moved on it's own and baby and all my other stats are measuring right on track! So I'm happy to have that off my mind!!

So I'm happy to have that off my mind!! I failed the one hour with DD1 and had to take the 3 hour TWICE because my OB makes anyone with a BMI of over 25 take the test early and then again at the usual 28 weeks. I’m not going to lie, it sucks, but maybe it won’t be so bad since it’s only 2 hours and not 3?

I have to do my glucose this week but I’m not sure when since I’ll have DD with me and DNW to sit around forever waiting with her in tow.

I had to do the two hour with DS too, then got away without it with DD. Two hours sucks, but yes I cringe whenever I see people having to do 3!

Just an anecdote, but I failed the one hour during my pregnancy with DS by a handful of points and then passed the 3 hour with flying colors. Apparently that's fairly common. Still a pain in the ass to take the 3 hour, though, I know!
