Thuuuuuursday

What's up ladies??? Almost Friday!


I had a dream last night that I went into labor at 33 weeks. Babies were in the NICU so the next day I went back to work! I was crying telling everyone how scared I was and when they asked the genders I said I didn't know because I hadn't seen them yet. Uhhhh what? Seriously, weirdest dream ever.

NT scan tomorrow! I'm so excited to see baby again.

[nessness]

I snissed for the first time yesterday, right as DH was getting home from work. He walked over to hug me and I was like, "uh, I'm going to go change." Ahh, the joys of pregnancy.

As an update to yesterday, where I was complaining that I thought DH forgot my birthday, he told me last night, unprompted, that he has a surprise planned. I need to give the guy some more credit

[blushing]

I am thinking of posting on MM Moms board. But I am unsure if its a board where you introduce yourself or if you just start posting? Anyone want to guide me on that please?

I had a meeting this morning at a restaurant, so I had pancakes for breakfast instead of my usual cereal. It was very good, and hopefully I won't be starving by 10:30.

I have a headache so I'm kinda grumpy. But weekend is almost here so yay!

[katie80]

I slept like crap last night because my allergies have gotten bad and I'm so congested. Bleh.

My diaper bag came in the mail yesterday! I love it and I'm so excited! Also I'm getting a ton of maternity hand-me-downs this weekend, so that's exciting

I still don't have the results of my bloodwork from the NT scan. They said 7-10 days, and if that meant business days (I assume, but stupidly didn't ask), we're still in that window, but ugh! I'm impatient. I'm reasonably sure that everything's fine but I'd like to have that confirmed.

DH and I were out weeding Tuesday night and a couple with a stroller were out for a walk, but on the other side of the street. I really wanted to go introduce myself as they have a young baby (maybe 4-6 months old?), and it would be great to have more young family friends. But I chickened out. I saw them going back into their house maybe 20 minutes later. Turns out it's across the street and down one from us. Now I'm really kicking myself for not introducing myself/trying to make friends.

I never introduced myself. I ask/answer questions randomly. If I post I usually say "I'm expecting twins in November" just in case people can't see my siggy.

I put on Demi panel maternity pants this morning. The full panel is getting tight and I refuse to buy new pants at 36w. The Demi panel was also tight and very uncomfortable. I made it 30 min at work before grabbing scissors and cutting it. Either I'm fatter or this baby is bigger than last pregnancy.

i got all cocky this morning and had some coffee. Not a lot. maybe 6oz? yea... bad idea. But it tasted SO good.

I had a dream I witnessed OJ Simpson murder Nicole.

Freaky!

I woke up so tired and sore today. My entire body feels like I got ran over by a truck.

I started planning for my maternity leave at work back in March. Trying to get things in order, so it wouldn't be a rush at the end. Of course there is so much stuff going on now that I have 3 weeks left. I have more work than I know what to do with. When I get overwhelmed I come to the board. Like that is helping me get my work done. lol

Repost from WC: Last night in the middle of the night, while I was dreaming, my husband rolled over and for some reason, touched my face with his hand. It startled me, and as a reflex, I smacked him in the face! Right in the eye! When I heard him grumble, I woke up and realized what happened. Then proceeded to burst into a fit of giggles. I'm laughing now as I type this out! LOL. My poor H.

This reminds me of a night I woke up with a leg cramp and accidentally punched DH in the crotch, which surprised him and when he reacted he fell off of the bed.  Talk about a rude awakening.  I felt bad, but it was really funny.

My maternity dresses are getting too short, so now I'm styling them as tunics with leggings.

So freaking comfortable. Casual office FTW!

I've been doing this with my non maternity summer dresses. I'm actually wearing one now, with leggings and Toms. So comfy.

[katie80]

Update to my complaint from earlier: I called the doctor's office to ask where the hell my test results are. Turns out there was some kind of computer glitch-related delay and the doctor hasn't been able to review them yet (which is why they haven't called me), but the nurse said they are in and everything looks normal! Yay!

My baby is still breech . I'm really struggling with the decision to try to have the dr manually turn her. Otherwise, c section at 39w. I really, really don't want a csection.

We are given until 36 weeks here. I would wait it out. And if doc can't manually turn her then I have heard good things about Moxibustion. Also other things I have heard is bouncing on a birthing ball, and scrubbing you house while on all fours. The all fours thing seems to be the most popular.

[awick14]

blushing- I intro'd then I started posting but I don't think that's the norm.

Blue Moon- hopefully baby turns around soon. ((Hugs))

Every time I sit down I feel like I am going to fall asleep. I'm not getting anything done. Ugg

Not an expert by any means, but I think you've still got time for her to turn on her own before an ECV, right?

I think there are several women on MMMoms who've been through this. Maybe post there? Just saw you did! Hope they have good advice.

I'm totally with you on wanting to avoid a CS if at all possible.

FX for your Blue Moon!  Keep us posted on what happens.  I found out at the A/S our little girl is breech as well.  I know she has lots of time to move but all of the movement I'm feeling (which appears to be from her legs) is still really low.  I need to start reading up on options if this doesn't change. 

Did you find out at your 20 wk a/s as well?  Do they have you get an extra u/s toward the end to confirm they haven't moved?

[FoxInFiji]

One more random thing to add:

DH has been really wanting to feel the baby kick. The last couple nights I've woken up with him curled up behind me with his hand on my belly. He's been trying to feel a kick as he falls asleep. (He works nights so I go to sleep w/o him.) It's really cute.

I'm with you.  Mine is still breech at (almost) 39 weeks, and we have a c-section scheduled.  You really do have plenty of time for her to turn (and hopefully she isn't stubborn like mine).  I just did research on the version (which I was very iffy about before), we decided it wasn't for us, and am at peace with a c-section.  Believe me, I NEVER wanted one, I even wanted to go natural!  But, it just made the most sense for us.

Good luck in your decision, and let me know if you have any questions.

Weird new symptom--my sense of taste seems mostly fine except for citrus. Which all tastes really bad. Lemonade, limeade, orange juice--all taste super gross.

I got a call from my doctor's office today letting me know I passed my glucose test I took on Tuesday! I'm pretty excited about it

They didn't comment on baby's position at the 20 week scan.  I haven't had another u/s since then until today.  My doctor has been manually pushing on my stomach since 28 weeks to feel baby's position. She was head down at 28 weeks, but breech at 32 and 34. Today he felt the head at the top left of my ute and had me put my fingers on either side so I could feel it myself. He said sometimes heads can be mistaken for bums, so he did a quickie u/s to confirm it was the head.  Then, he started telling me my options.  They'll recheck at 36 weeks, and then I need to decide if I want the version at 37 weeks.

It's so tough!  I hate that we have to be in this position.  I'm fine with a c section if I medically need one.  But I'd hate to wonder if I had the version, would it have enabled me to have the vaginal birth I want?  I'm torn between trying exercises on spinning babies/scheduling chiro appts and trying everything to get her to turn, or just relaxing and letting what will be, be.  I need to do more research on the version, I think.  I hope your baby is one of the those my doctor was telling me about today that flips right before the csection!

I felt a little guilty today when my doctor called to tell me I passed the glucose test and I was half way through a bag of reeses oreos.

I didn't want to waste what could have been my last opportunity at deliciousness.

I had some cake yesterday as a 'just in case' I totally understand! The Resse's Oreos are so good too! Congratulations on passing your test!
