Ugh yes I’m exhausted. Dd woke me up when I was in a dead sleep.
I have a dr apt today. My vision has been off lately, which I had when I was pregnant with my DD. I had double vision at 36 weeks and lasted till birth. And now it’s starting again. My dr talked about sending me to a neurologist this time around to see if they had any idea what this is. I’m seeing a different dr today in the practice since my dr is off, so we’ll see what he has to say.

Good morning ladies! I actually got a decent amount of sleep last night which is pretty rare for me. My boss is meeting me at the store I work in which is annoying. I was hoping to finish out my time before maternity leave without dealing with her. I expect to be at work for a long time today which kind of sucks. MH will be home with G all day. She has school and ST and such today.

Last night was our first night sleeping back at home, and I had high hopes that DS would sleep til 7 (his usual) since he’s back in his own crib. He woke at 5:55. 😑 I’m nursing him, and he’s snoozing on my lap but that doesn’t help me get more sleep lol.

Happy Monday everyone! I am sooo sad the long weekend is over. Good luck at your appt. amesie- the double vision sounds like it would be very frustrating!! I am in the waiting room right now for my glucose test. I had the fruit punch flavor which I was not a fan of, so I am glad that part is over. Now I am just keeping my fingers crossed that I pass!

Good luck w your glucose test pinkcat!! Morning ladies! We had a good weekend. We got our Christmas tree and I absolutely love it. I kept pushing Wife to get a big tree and we’re both so happy we did. It’s about 7ft tall! We have these vaulted ceilings, idk if that’s the right term, they’re basically angled up and at the point where the tree is they’re probably 15-20ft. Today is another long Work day (I worked about 12 hours in Black Friday) I’m hoping it goes by quickly!

Morning!
Oof going back to work is rough after the holiday break. At least I WFH today.
We are going to be moving DD1 into a new room and put this baby in the nursery. We actually made some headway yesterday in her new room. Hoping to have her in there by New Years.
So far I haven’t found anything really worth while with cyber Monday sales.

Hey guys! FYI motherhood maternity is offering free shipping on any orders. Nursing tanks are $10 ea.. I know I lived in nursing camis and cardigans with DD so heads up! And they have mat leggings for $12 which was the BF price.. And they are comfy af. Also lille baby is running an open box sale in an hour and otherwise they're still running the 35% off sale I'm going to snag a rs for this squish! I'll be back with a real hi how are you later but heads up!

I can't remember where I read it (Ovia app, maybe) that vision problems during pregnancy like you mentioned are actually normal. I mean if your doc wants to send you to a neuro he/she can but I'm not sure what they will do...maybe there is something easy they could try. Hope there is something they can do for you so it doesn't interfere with work/driving etc.

I had a nice week off last week and am trying to get motivated at work today. And I'm sick again. I think I was healthy for about a week. At least I only have a month left.
June and January had a black Friday sale and is having another sale today on specific items so I HAD to put in another order. I want to get DH a new pair of shoes but can't find the specific pair that he wants on sale anywhere.

Question for those who have had a C-section before. My hospital doesn't provide a binder for after (or didn't for my 1st) and I was thinking about buying one this time to maybe help with recovery. Did anyone buy one that they would recommend?

Morning! No holiday to recover from, but we had a great kickoff to Christmas weekend so that’s a lot of fun! I’m really looking forward to this coming weekend too! pinkcat good luck with the glucose test! amesie the double vision sounds frustrating but I hope it’s nothing to worry about! Nothing crazy planned today. I wore a new long sleeved mat/nursing top yesterday and really liked it and saw the store I got it from was doing 40% off and free shipping today so might check it out online. This Friday marks the gestational age DS was when he was born so I’m hoping to just smoothly go over it and get that milestone off my mind! The kids met Santa for the first time this year yesterday. DS quickly got over his shyness and poor DD who was dancing with excitement when we got to the front of the line refused to walk towards him when they said we could go lol! So I have a picture of her snuggling with H while DS is giving me the best Santa smile he’s ever given haha. But he’s going to be at a couple more events this year that we plan on going to so maybe she’ll warm up to him, because when we asked her at the end of the day what her favourite part was she said “Santa!!!” 😂 ^lots of random thoughts right there. Have a good Monday!

hiimjamie, I didn't use one last time either but I'm worried that this time with DD1 around I may overdo it more. I know we aren't supposed to pick up other kids for I think 2 weeks but I really don't see that happening at my house.

Hope there is something they can do for you so it doesn't interfere with work/driving etc. some vision changes are normal, but not like this. I can only see straight if I look above eye level... so I have to tilt my head down and look up to see if that makes sense. Otherwise it’s all double/blurry/shaky. I was sent to an ophthalmologist last time and he had no clue either. No one could tell me why it was happening and they all figured it was just a weird pregnancy symptom. I’m hoping they do send me to a neurologist and they can do something for me because I can’t work with my vision like this. And if it gets any worse, I won’t be able to drive either 😩

OK, hi! Scored a rs for this squish at 45% off so I'm happy.
We had a nice weekend. Yesterday was DDs birthday so we had immediate family for cake. Her bday party is Sat and I have nothing planned, oops.
Looking into alternative care for the next 2 months bc we don't like our care provider.
... Still waiting to hear on this job!
That's all I got!

Well, the dr still isn’t sure wtf is going on with my eyes. My BP was slightly elevated, but not so high that they’re worried about pre-e, especially with my urine also being fine. But this dr I saw had an interesting theory about my eyes... he said that my pituitary gland might be enlarged and compressing my optic nerve causing the blurry vision. The pit gland is in charge of prolactin which is for breast milk production, so he said with pregnancy prolactin levels are obviously very high and maybe it’s causing my pit gland to enlarge. Interesting theory. Regardless, they’re going to set me up with neuro to see if they have any further insight.
All in all, they’re not worried. It’s just annoying. And now I can’t work. Ugh

I wondered about pressure on the optic nerve as a cause amesie but had no real reason behind it. Hopefully a neuro will have some insight for you. hiimjamie I had heartburn so bad a couple weeks ago I seriously thought it was chest pains or something and almost went to the ER. I hope tums took the edge off for you. I finally got DS down for a nap and now I should work on grading but I'm distracted by Cyber Monday shopping.

Hello! I’m about to catch up and likely over post w comments.
First to complain, my oldest was up puking from 12-4 am last night. Must’ve caught a stomach virus on the flight home. This is my second round of kid stomach flu this pregnancy. I’m beyond tired and super achy and dizzy which has me a little worried. I think it’s just baby positioning and being exhausted but I’d like my back to stop hurting.

Did anyone buy one that they would recommend? I had a C with my first. My hospital did give me one and I found it helpful for the first week or so when you feel like everything is going to fall out. I don’t know how much they cost though but I did think it helped.
