I'll try to remember to take a bump pic when I'm up and dressed. I'm up early thinking about my niece who's having tubes put in this morning. I have to go to the clinic for more lab work this morning but realized I haven't had a seizure in over a month!

Good morning. I had another night of very little sleep. I got up at 1:45 to go to the bathroom and then haven’t gone back to sleep yet. G is getting pick up on the bus in about 45 minutes. I will grab a quick nap while she is at school so that I have enough energy to make it until MH gets home at 3. Thankfully G is in a good mood so far. Today would be intolerable if she was a whiney mess.

I'll post a pic in a bit.
I have to bitch a minute. My H and I are in a disagreement about the nursery. I just want to put fresh paint on the walls. To me I just will feel really weird with it all being the same as my DDs nursery. It's currently a blue/grey type of color. I want to make it a light grey. I got light pink curtains (new - DD had a hot pink) and I'm planning to get navy sheets and the color scheme would be light pink and navy with other colors tossed in. Thinking a woodland /doe theme. He is super against repainting. It's not like we just painted - it was painted 2.5y ago when I was newly pg with DD1. Plus the walls are icked up from the wicker baskets we used and the artwork my DD would play and scratch the wall with. So it just looks messy.
I just kinda feel like he needs to shut up and just do what I want because I'm the one who will be spending the most time in there nursing the baby overnight etc etc etc.
He's all like "well my co workers don't think I need to repaint".. That's nice dear, maybe you should marry them. They all hate their husbands anyway. 😡😡😡

Keep pushing for new paint, if the walls are scratched up it isn't "just to change the color".

OK, well it is enormous but I'll leave it for now. Just had an appt and had my 1 hour glucose test. I'm now enjoying some leftover bday cake and some brown sugar buns. They took 4 vials of blood, so they are checking other numbers too. Belly is measuring just right. My weight gain is like 25 lbs already so it looks like I'll be hitting at least 40 by the end if not more. With E, it was more like 50 but my starting weight was lower with him.

Hell the only new furniture we bought for DD1s big girl room was the bed/mattress. The rest is all hand me down or repurposed. So I'm just not sure why he's acting like it is. If it's about the actual painting.... I'll paint. Doesn't bother me.

28 weeks! Sorry for the TMI, but... the constipation struggle is real 😂😂 I have never had this problem beyond 1st tri before, any recommendations? I know I need to drink more water, I am working on that. Time to break out the Metamucil??

peachesncream no sugar added chocolates! Or sugar free candies. My dietician told me about this yesterday, I'm not a fan of sweeteners but I would probably try this during pregnancy if needed!

I need this week to be over 😫
I have my external safety audit for my company all this week and it's seriously sucking the life out of me. I've had to bring D into the office with me every morning at 530 so we all could use a weekend of naps for sure.
I have another ultrasound today to check on the placenta position and look at baby's growth so that's exciting! Gonna try and also take a bump pic today since I'm feeling ginormous despite still only having gained 3 pounds so far

peachesncream I'm taking a stool softener twice a day and miralax once a day. It helps but still a struggle for me.

peachesncream,Check with your doc about "Smooth Move" tea. I think it is OK but maybe not for regular use? Or maybe not OK at all? I did drink some a few weeks ago, just one cup and man, that took care of the problem! I did use stool softeners a lot with my 1st pregnancy but luckily things have gotten better for me with this pregnancy.

I took the whole day off for my appt this morning and I am getting so much done! I am running the self clean on the oven (I have been wanting to do it when nobody else is home, but when do I have hours alone in my house?!) and I started to clear out the new baby's room! Then, I had to reorganize our attic space because I needed to fit some stuff from the baby's room in there so now I'm much happier with how our attic looks. And I feel like I got some exercise in for the day. Now, I want to take a few bags of clothes to donate and get them out of the house. And maybe check out the Restore. I'm looking for a bookshelf for the nursery closet to maximize our use of that space.

easternshoregirl Restore is a good idea! I'm looking for a super narrow hutch /tall cabinet to stick in the corner of my kitchen. I'm getting a lot of visual clutter vibes from my pot rack in thr corner and I just have too much kitchen stuff to begin with. I was going to go look at the thrift store. The space is maybe 19" across though so I'm not sure what I'll even find.

I'm up 16 lbs.. Eeeep.
My H found a local yoga studio that offered a new student special on a month of unlimited yoga for $40. Sold. My anxiety has been thru the roof so I am hoping this helps.

I've decided I'm not going to worry about the weight until about early April. I'm hoping it drops off like it did with E (DS). If not, I am in big trouble.

And I swear I've got like 10lbs in my boobs...DH was looking at some pics on his phone from the spring and was like "oh look how tiny your boobs were." And that was when I was in like a 32F I think.

I'm really upping my post count today... Any recs on comfy slip on boots for the winter? I have nice riding boots, booties, etc but none are as comfy as I'd like (although they are fine for work and everything). And none are slip on, most have a zipper. Before, the end of my pregnancy was summer time, so I just wore flip flops. I'm thinking of something like these Toms boots. Does anyone have them or something similar? I would love Uggs but I'm not going to be paying quite that much! I also don't necessarily want imitation Uggs. (Does this make me a brand name snob?!)

Meh, I'm up 25 lbs but not worried. I'm almost 30 weeks. I gained 30 total with DS but started out 10 lbs less this time. (Thanks breastfeeding)

Here’s my bump! I haven’t shared in a while. 25+2 with baby girl. I was up most of the night with MH because he was having stomach issues. When he’s sick in the middle of the night, I get worried and can’t sleep. We have trunk or treat tonight at DD’s school. I was going to provide a trunk, but I’m too tired to decorate so we’ll just reap the benefits of everyone else. 🤣👍🏻 As for weight gain, I try not to step on the scale. I think I’m up 15 lbs and it’s all been added to my boobs. I’ve gone from a C to DD almost overnight. 😳

easternshoregirl Bearpaw boots are comfy. I'm interested in MukLuk slipper boots too.
