I think I have indirectly shared these before, but I feel like I have a lot of baby gear UOs. I hate infant bucket carseats, have never owned a travel system, only use audio monitors, and break out my stroller about once a month. I also have never used sleep sacks.

Good morning! I slept a little more than I usually do which is nice but I still want to nap. Lol.
G is at school so I am watching some TV and relaxing. I have work this afternoon.

I don’t go crazy with baby gear. I do however love the infant bucket and stroller. I have a video monitor but I didn’t get it until G was in her twin bed. I also got it dirt cheap. I don’t have a swing. I don’t have carriers. I don’t have a wipe warmer or special diaper pail. Those things seemed unnecessary to me. |

Carriers because I use them instead of the stroller. And I would argue that the swing was necessary for our sleep but I know it was probably a superfluous expense. :-P |

I didn’t cloth diaper with G because I didn’t have a washer and dryer at home and couldn’t afford a service. She is always so warm that the idea of having her on my body made me sweat just to think about. I also couldn’t breast feed so she wasn’t super attached to my body and genuinely liked the stroller. She slept in the bassinet for her first six weeks and then went into her own room in her crib so I thankfully didn’t have to worry about sleeping in a swing. I say but whatever you can afford that you think will make your life easier. 🤷🏻♀️ |

Another UO: I don't think the glucose test is that bad. It has never really bothered me.

Ultrasound AW! Baby is 2 lb 7 oz or 40th percentile for weight. Nice middle ground between my previous two who were 10th and 80th or so haha. They didn't get all the pictures they needed but I declined a third ultrasound. She rotated from transverse to breech. Did anyone here do Spinning Babies with a previous pregnancy? I wouldn't start that until 32-34 weeks assuming she hasn't flipped on her own by then, right?  |

Love the bucket seat, couldn’t live without the video monitor, and same with the stroller (esp with all my lower back issues). And team sleep sacks because they inhibit DS from trying to climb! |

The one hour doesn't bother me much, and I don't mind the drink (I've always gotten the orange one), what I'm most not looking forward to is fasting/minimal water intake for my 2 hour tomorrow. I drink a lot of water, and when I've been getting hungry lately it strikes hard and fast! ETA I think that will make me feel more nauseous and dizzy then anything.

@peachesandcream those are great pics!
And I don't like carrying the bucket seat, but when getting older siblings ready I definitely appreciate being able to do baby first in the house and especially will this time when it's a newborn in the coldest part of our winters. DD stayed in the bucket seat a couple months longer than DS so I could get through the winter without having to strap two kids in the vehicle, I could just snap her in and get DS ready to go. Luckily this time DS knows how to buckle himself in and DD can reach to get into her seat herself! It will be a breeze this time..right?! 😂

I’m in a 3 day leadership class so haven’t caught up but I wanted to pop in with a question. I think I have a sinus infection and feel awful. They usually don’t give antibiotics while pregnant right? I probably just need to try regular mucinex? (Not D)

peachesncream DD1 was breech and we didn’t try spinning babies. She came out with hip issues and had to wear a brace for 6 months so I think as early as you can try it do. The longer they are in that position to greater chance of hip dysplasia.

I don’t have tons of baby gear either but I love my infant seat 😍😍😍 and my stroller too lol. We also only have an audio monitor & I didn’t go crazy w the sleep sacks it was mostly for warmth, most people I feel use them to keep their kid from moving all over. But ya no swing, no extra stuff. |

sarahh ugh, sorry you are feeling bad! Not the same at all, but I definitely got antibiotics for UTIs my two previous pregnancies, so obviously some are okay to take. I would definitely ask your doc, hope you feel better soon!

Another UO: I don't think the glucose test is that bad. It has never really bothered me. The one hour didn't bother me at all. The 3 hour was pretty unpleasant. I was so hungry before it and the after the drink (twice as much sugar as the 1 hour) I felt jittery and lightheaded and nauseated. I'm hoping the fact that I felt bad wasn't a bad sign. |

I probably just need to try regular mucinex? (Not D) If you need antibiotics they will give them. It is better to take antibiotics then have an untreated bacterial infection. |

I would definitely ask your doc, hope you feel better soon! I took abx while pg with DS2. Mucinex is fine. What you can’t take is all the actual cold medicine and decongestants. I hope you feel better soon! |

I probably just need to try regular mucinex? (Not D) I just finished 20 days worth of antibiotics between two back to back rounds of strep throat over the last month. I was on penicillin the first round, and then they put me on a non-penicillin the second round to try something different but I don't know what it was called. I was just assured it was pregnancy safe. I also remember also going on antibiotics for an ear infection while pregnant with DS. Hope you are feeling better soon! ETA whoops I missed the entire page of people responding to this already haha. But yes, I was going to add what flippinchica said, an untreated infection is more of a concern than the treatment. |

Today was a crazy day. My company announced one of the plants is closing in MA. All of the work and production will now be coming to our plant in MI so it’s going to be quite a transition. I’m just thankful to have a job where I’m so busy, but always hate hearing about people affected and what that means for them. So it was a busy day trying to support that team while also doing my own work. I’m exhausted.
We had breakfast for dinner and I just finished giving DD a bath. She’s now with MH watching a “scary” movie. I plan on taking a hot shower and watching Grey’s Anatomy in peace.

As for the glucose test: I hate everything about it. The drink (I had the kind that “tastes like Sprite”) is horrible and I do not like how I feel after. I am not looking forward to taking it again in a couple of weeks. With my last pregnancy, I paced in the bathroom trying to give myself a pep talk on not throwing it all up. Luckily, I didn’t, but it was bad.
