Weekend Whatevers

[krystee]

I looked at my pregnancy app for next week and saw the baby grows four inches in one week this week. No wonder I am feeling so starving and gross today. My parasite is leeching all my energy.

I am about to go get a pedicure and go shopping, so beyond the queasiness, it's a good day!

What are you up to today?

[starburst604]

I'm relaxing and going to a one year old bday party in a little while. My belly got more rubs than a Buddha last night. It was the first time I've seen most of H's family since we announced, we went to his cousin's wife's 40th surprise party. Yesterday at work a patient also pointed out that I'm pregnant, I realized it's the first time a stranger has said that to me. Right now it's fun, in a few months I'm sure I'll want to slap people.

This feels like such a quiet stage of pregnancy. The first tri symptoms are mostly gone, it's too soon to feel movement and the like, and naturally I worry! I can definitely see the draw of having a home Doppler. I won't get to hear her heartbeat again until 12/4.

Passed my 3 hour GTT yesterday - woohoo!! Working on the nursery and getting a haircut. A good, hopefully quiet, weekend planned.

we might go pick out some color pallets for the nursery room. this nursery caught my eye, i like the colors but maybe less pink and introduce more colors like lavender. i like the paint color though.

It's DH's birthday. He's chilling playing computer games. SMIL and I made a squash casserole, and FIL, will grill some steaks later. It's a good day to be pregnant and perpetually hungry.

What week are you? Mine switched from crown to rump length to crown to feet at 20 weeks.

[krystee]

Oh! That makes sense. I am 20 weeks. I was wondering how on earth four inches in a week was possible. The app should have mentioned that!

[orangeglow]

I want to nest so badly, but I want to sleep so much more badly!  I can't tell if it's the pregnancy or this never ending sickness.

Little man has been SO good about staying away from my ribs.  As of last night that changed.  He is making my ribs hurt and it hard to breath.  18 days, 18 days, 18 days... I can do this!

[christy082]

Right now I'm getting ready to go to H's cousin's wedding. Earlier today I helped H clean out his dresser and closet. We now have 2 huge bags of stuff to donate. I feels so good to purge my house of stuff!

[Deleted]

I was nesting like crazy on Thursday night, then I lost my mucus plug last night. Baby needs to come on out!

[achi]

Hi everyone! I'm doing some cleaning but mostly being lazy today. I'm going to go out soon and get a body pillow and maybe a pregnancy book, then I have a massage. This will be my first one while pregnant (my RMT knows about the pregnancy and he's certified in prenatal) so we won't be able to do much deep tissue which kinda sucks, but oh well I need it.

Yesterday was the worst day so far for nausea. Today is better and it's so discomforting. I know it's too early to feel a crazy amount of symptoms at this point and that every day can be very different but I like stability! I've had some incidents of gagging today, so as much as that sucks it is semi-comforting. TTC was such a mindfuck, and I guess pregnancy is going to be too... isn't it?

[mlvmd]

DH asked if I thought I would have the baby today. I told him this is not a great question to ask pregnant women. It was all I could do not to quip that my butterball timer hadn't popped up yet.

[estrellita]

So tired today! Not sure why. Hope the nap I just took helps. We're going to a friend's house tonight and I'm excited to get an update on her pregnancy finally. I've been meaning to text her but that hasn't happened. She has to be at least 15 weeks by now and she hasn't announced it yet. Totally fine, but it worries me a little that maybe something happened. She told me right away so I hope she would have told me. Hopefully she's just not telling yet. I guess I will find out tonight!

[Deleted]

I ordered a dresser and glider today. I'm totally unsure either are quite what I want but I just needed to stop stressing about it. The chair is really comfy though.

[llamamama]

We went out to my favorite restaurant last night and I ordered my usual but I ended up regretting it later that night. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling so sick! Tmi but I ended up vomitting everything up. I guess my stomach just can't handle all that food anymore!

[krystee]

I am so hungry today. I could eat and eat and eat. And then have dessert afterward.

[bluelikejazz]

It's eggplant parmesan night! At 39+ weeks, I hope it works! Mama wants thanksgiving dinner and wine!

[Brie]

Busy day today. We took family/maternity/holiday pictures so there was a lot of walking and then we went out to a nice dinner.

Now I'm soaking in the tub and contemplating nursery furniture arrangement.

[Deleted]

I also am soaking after a long day. But with cookies. It really is glorious.

I think I'n going to try out my new nail polish next. It's dark green. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

I'm only 4w 6d into this journey so I'm driving myself mad reading all sorts of things online. I should be working on a freelance assignment that I've put off for far too long. All this while freaking about my surprise 14 hr day tomorrow; my boss is sick and needs someone to cover her high-priority work. I haven't told her I'm pregnant yet so I'm just going to suck it up and power through the day, thankful that I can sleep in on Tuesday!

Which apps are y'all using to track your pregnancy? I've got the baby center app and I'm kinda meh on it.

I have that, the "I'm Expecting" app and the Bump one. I don't really do much with them other than read the weekly updates.

[krystee]

I have the Bump app and get the weekly emails from Baby Center.

[achi]

I've got the Baby Center app on my phone. I also tried the Bump app but it kept malfunctioning and restarting itself. I got annoyed and deleted it. I also signed up for Pregnant Chicken's weekly e-mails.

This weekend has been pretty eventful. Original plans were to go to my friend's baby shower...instead, I fell while getting ready (landing right on my belly) and had to spend 4 1/2 hours in L&D. Good news is C was moving around like crazy and doing great! Also learned that I want to stay away from the hospital as long as possibly when we go into labor (there's really not much to do there...luckily all the nurses and midwife were amazing though!). Oh, and I had my first cervical check...completely closed and firm- looks like he's staying put for awhile longer! If 9 hours of moving my mom on Friday and a fall on Sat didn't start anything I'm kind of thinking we're in it for the long haul (3 more weeks til EDD).

DH and I slept in this morning and went for a walk. Now we're getting stuff done around the house in prep for Thanksgiving.

I haven't felt the baby kick at all today, and I am freaking out. I know it's silly since It's not like I feel it constantly on other days, but I even tried OJ and laying down and that hasn't worked. He is okay, right? I am 20 weeks.

I think so. I don't feel mine kick very often, just several times a day, mostly around night time.

[estrellita]

krystee I have times too that I don't feel baby and start to worry. I think he gets himself into positions where I can't feel him as much (plus I have an anterior placenta). At 20 weeks you should be ok. Hope he moves for you soon!

I have Pregnancy+, What to Expect When You're Expecting, and Babycenter.  The first two are okayish. I like the pictures and the text alerts every new week. I like to also track pics of myself every week one WTEWYE.  The Babycenter one has some interesting forums. Lots of drama llamas on DWIL (inlaw problems) forum. I read it sometimes when I'm bored wnowadays when I'm wide awake at 3am.

[centralsquare]

I was awake from 2:30-5 last night. What the hell, pregnancy insomnia? I'm so damn tired.
