I had a crap midwife appointment today, and ended up coming home and crying. At my appointment on Monday my blood pressure had started coming down and was actually in the normal range, baby was 2/5's engaged and in the perfect position for labour. And this morning I woke up and felt like baby had dropped, I could breathe. Then at my midwife appointment my blood pressure was high again, baby is no longer engaged and has now turned back to back. It was more than I could handle so I cried. And now for the last hour I get getting really sore pains at the bottom of my stomach. I don't think it's contractions, it's just the ligaments or something, but they hurt like hell and I can't walk or talk through them.

Lame AW: I made it through TDaP Shot yesterday. I almost passed out (nerves combined with the glucose drink made me very light headed), but DH and my favorite nurse were there to help me.
I'm dreading happy hour with my coworkers tonight. They don't know I'm pregnant and I don't really want to talk about it. They are going to harass me about not drinking although I don't drink at every outing anyway.
My back hurts today. Nothing too bad, it's just uncomfortable.
I think I'm going to start my registry this weekend since we'll be home and don't have many plans.
Also, I think nesting is starting to kick in a little bit. Our house has been neglected the last couple of weekends anyway, but I really want to get ALL the cleaning done now.
In other whatevers, I am feeling really ragey today. I don't think I've felt like this much yet in my pregnancy. I pretty much hate everyone right now.

Can you ask for water while you "decide", then go to the bathroom and stop by the bar on your way back and get your drink? That way you're alone when you get it, and no one will be wiser.

Possibly, but this place is more actual servers, do people don't really do that during the day.
I also don't want to be too weird about it since I will be obviously pregnant at some point this month.
I would normally skip it, but it's a going away thing and I don't want to be the jerk manager that doesn't come.

I feel very chunky today. Well lately in general. Last week I lost 6 lbs somehow. Then I put 3 back so I'm only up 10 overall. I'm fine with gaining weight, that's not my issue. I just feel like I grew out of the "oh it's an actual bump and not chunk" phase and into one that is more blob looking. Meh. Whatever.
I'm in that weird stage where I often forget I'm pregnant. I feel pretty normal now, physically, and even though I'm feeling the baby I have to be laying down and waiting for it. It's bizarre.
The professional pictures from my sister's wedding came in last night (a week and a half after the wedding so very little editing). My mom made the two BM dresses for me and my other sister. She had to do a ton of altering to keep mine from looking like a sack. I thought I was looking OK with a cute baby bump but I guess not. I wish I should have stood behind more people. Now these photos will be hanging on people's walls for forever.
I had a doc appt this morning, everything looks good. These middle appointments are BORING! But our A/S results all came back fine, everything looks great.

That's always hard. See if you can order straight from the bar without anyone around you. It was lent when I first got pregnant so I told everyone I gave up alcohol and they believed it
I've made it through today not eating mostly crap. This is a vast improvement over, oh, the last 10 weeks. Oatmeal and salad. Dinner has little chance of being healthy though. And snack will probably be pretzels.

I feel your pain. My brother got married this weekend and omg I looked terrible in photos. Everyone kept telling me how great I looked, but then I saw photos people posted on FB and yeah, not so much. I looked like a whale compared to the rest of the bridesmaids, and I was swollen from the heat and flying and being on my feet so much, so that didn't help. Those photos are definitely not getting displayed in our house!

@kcpokergal I feel you on the ragey feeling. Every little thing is annoying me lately! Almost bit a coworker's head off earlier. Hope I can keep it under control! I'm so hungry. I feel like all I do is eat! I had a bagel for breakfast, then a piece of cake at work, a mini bag of skittles and I was still ready to gnaw my arm of by lunch! Come on!
I was starting to fall sleep last night, and had my hand draped over my belly. My little guy either elbowed me or kneed me, and I actually felt his bony little body part. It was so weird, and it completely freaked me out.
rachelgreen-I feel you. I have spent so much money in the past few weeks, it's insane!
I went to work today and made it 5 hours before I couldn't sit anymore! Yay! Now I lounging and trying not to freak out about my ultrasound later this afternoon.
I was walking back into the office after lunch and was suddenly completely struck with the fact that OMG,THERE IS A BABY IN THERE. My body contains TWO HEARTBEATS.
It is mind-boggling to me sometimes that this is really happening!

OMG I feel you on the heat and swelling! We flew from a nice 80 degrees down to TX for the wedding with a 105 deg heat index. On top of that we were running around doing all the decorations, set up, flowers, and preparing for four days of events since we stayed at the venue (a house with a big living room). I knew to expect that though so I can't complain too much.

I just got back from The Lullabye Shop - my wallet is now $478 lighter LOL!

I had my 3 hr glucose test this morning! I made it through without feeling incredibly terrible, but now I have to wait to find out the results. I'm hoping they call me tomorrow, or at the latest, Friday...I hate waiting
I've also started my every 2 week appointments...So I was at the OB office last week for my 1hr glucose and regular appointment, then I came back this morning for my 3hr glucose, and I'll be there next week for my regular 2 week appointment again. There was actually a woman in the waiting area that asked me today "Didn't I see you last time I was here?"

I was in a wedding beginning of august and I hate how I looked. I thought I was cute in person but the pics look awful. I didnt have a cute round belly like I do now so I just looked big.

GL at your appointment today!
What did you get?
The infant seat and jogger. I actually went with the new one she showed me - the Chicco Tre. It matches the infant seat we wanted/planned to buy anyway (Chicco Keyfit 30 in surge). Plus because of Target's sale this week, they put their prices down to the Target Keyfit price. Target is only honoring that on their one gray/black model but LS is doing it on all their colors. I got the infant seat for only $151. The jogger was $303 vs paying $389 at buy buy baby.
