I’ve been getting more “you’re tiny!” Comments this time around... even though I’m definitely bigger this time than I was with my DD. And with my DD, everyone always commented of how huge my belly was and asked if I was sure their was only 1 in there 🤷🏼♀️ People are weird.

Happy Birthday dragonflyinn!!! Not much going on for me.....just working until I have an ultrasound at 1. Excited to see baby boy again but nervous he has grown too much and they will want to bump my section to christmas time. We also started at a new daycare last friday and I was SOO worried that D was going to have a tough time with the transition because he had been at the previous one since a year old. He actually has done amazing and LOVES it there. Like atually wakes up in the morning and tells me that he cant do any errands with me today because he has to go to play school and play with trains. So relieved and happy for him What a relief! Figuring out new childcare is the worst but your last place had to go. Glad this is working out. You don’t need new stress now.

Random question...how do you all feel about "meal trains?" The whole idea of them kind of annoys me, but let me explain. I love the idea of helping out families with new families or those enduring hardships. What I don't love is the online sign-ups. It just seems forced to me and less genuine if I go to some website to see what all of the instructions are....I know, it is a good way to organize everything and have it in one place and so the family doesn't have to coordinate but still. It just doesn't seem personal to me. Do any of you think your friends will set one up? I am secretly hoping nobody does for us, I'd rather just talk to people that want to help and see what they can do for us....it has been sort of common in my group of friends though. I think if someone suggests doing it, I will politely decline. I'm the opposite - I'm hoping someone sets one up for me lol! This! People bringing me meals when DS2 was born was so helpful. Aside from allergies, people don’t get too picky here and it’s just my friends anyway. My husband will eat anything so even if a meal wasn’t my fav I knew he was fed!

benandjerrys helloerrbody thank you! I started seeing a Webster chiro a few weeks ago. I will definitely look into acupuncture too! I am willing to try just about anything! I personally would still do a version but my SIL who is a very experienced L&D nurse said she would not when her baby was breach. Her baby moved around 34 weeks but it stuck with me that with all her experience she said she wouldn’t. She seen too many babies go into distress and then have early Cs. Talk to your provider and get their take. I’d still do it though do not sure why I’m sharing random stranger opinions with you. I am really torn on this. I am very much a statistics person so I read an "evidence based" summary of ECVs. They are successful 50% of the time, but without a version the flip rate is much much lower. My provider kind of refused to even discuss it today in an attempt to keep me in a positive mindset. The way I look at it is if the version fails I will most likely be having a c section no matter what so I figure what difference is a c section at 37 weeks or 39 weeks. Maybe that is a selfish mindset though, I obviously realize closer to 40 is better for baby. Also, I will be 37 weeks on Christmas day, so I also assume my version would be scheduled past that date but who knows. I will ask my provider what they recommend and go from there. Your SIL is not the only healthcare professional I have heard say that though.

I get about 50% "Wow, you look so great, so small for X weeks!" and 50% "Wow, you must be about ready to have that baby! You've really popped!" etc. Like, okay people.
