So I slept terribly last night. Woke up at 2 to pee, then was basically awake til I got out of bed at 5. Ugh.
And now, I just threw up for the first time all pregnancy! WTH? I'm 28 weeks! I was gagging some this morning but then felt fine. Went to brush my teeth and it made me throw up.

Hey!! As of last Friday I'm officially on maternity leave...yay! I'm spending the next few days getting ready for thanksgiving (I'm hosting about 20 people) and trying to semi decorate for Christmas. I've got 3 trees to put up so hopefully I can make a big dent in it today.
It's 5:24am and I cannot sleep. My crotch bones hurt so bad and contrax have been pretty noticeable, yet still irregular for over a week. Please baby stay put until Friday at least... Mama has too much to do!
I woke up at 5:45 on my first day of vacation. Anatomy scan is in 4.5 hours! It's at MFM instead of the OB, so I am hoping they have higher-tech equipment like a 4D ultrasound. That would be so cool to see!
19 weeks yesterday and I may have found my first stretch mark on my boob. These things are growing like weeds and it makes me sad that I see one but anything for a heathy baby!!
Today is our last school day before thanksgiving break and I am counting down the hours! Fall party this morning and then busy work till they go home!
Also suppose to close on our house tonight but by the looks of it yesterday, it will be delayed. Patience is not my strong point so I am praying for peace and a miracle..!!
Baby was stubborn again last night. H had his hands on my stomach for a while and he wouldn't move! I even drank some juice. I guess he is our child, so he's bound to be stubborn, but come on kid!
I woke up with my whole pelvis so sore I could hardly walk to bathroom at 2, but thankfully it has resolved now.
I just have to push myself through Thanksgiving and then can go back to my usual laying around ways, ha! My body does not like it when I am on my feet much at all.
So. Tired. We woke up early to take my car to the shop. We think it's the alternator--I'm praying it's not, just a bad connection.
I think my morning sickness is starting. I'm starting to gag even when I've eaten. Thus far I've been able to manage nausea by preventing myself from getting too hungry, but yesterday and today, that doesn't seem to help.
T&P please for my friend. She's pregnant again after 4 m/c, the last one was ectopic. 5w1d today. She has the MTHFR gene, so assuming her b/w is good today (rising beta) then she'll be started on lovenox. She has been spotting the last couple days. Anyway, some prayers and good juju in her direction would be appreciated.
I also am not sleeping well, waking up to pee a lot and also just generally not staying comfortable in the same position for very long. Plus the weather gave me a headache last night.
H and I are still struggling with the carseat question. It's frustrating.
Praying for your friend pooh8402. I really hope this is it for her- I cannot imagine going through 4 m/c and everything that goes with being PGAL. Major hugs to her and her DH.
Add me to the overly tired group. I woke up to pee at 11:30 and could not go back to sleep. A combination of C being awake and kicking, being hungry, and way too much on my brain. I finally ate a banana around 12:30 and moved to the couch around 1:30. I think I managed to fall asleep around 2:30 for an hour before I had to get up for work. Oh well...today is my last day in the office (working from home tomorrow and then ML starts)! I also have an OB appointment today and am excited to hear C's heartbeat and ask her some questions.
Totally random...got my car registration renewal in the mail yesterday. Found out there is a recall that has to be fixed prior to renewal in addition to having to smog this year (first time, it's a 2009). Called Subaru as I want it all taken care of before C is here (registration is due 2/8). At first they said the part was on back order, couldn't get me in until 12/11 to figure out if I even need the part, and then would have to come back. After arguing that this wouldn't work they transferred me to service. Good news is that they are getting me in on Monday to resolve the issue...bad news is that I have to wait around for 6 hours while they do the work. I talked my mom into meeting me, running a couple errands, and doing lunch. At least she'll keep me busy for a good 2-3 hours.
I've been sleeping really well this whole pregnancy, but over the weekend I think insomnia is starting to creep in. I woke up at least twice last night for no reason, and one of those I was really hot. At least I was able to go back to sleep fairly quickly.
I have my 34 week appt this afternoon, and I really don't want to get on the scale.
Sorry to hear I wasn't the only one dealing with insomnia last night.... :/ I forced myself to try and sleep around 11:30pm, but was up every hour to pee. I finally threw in the towel at 4:30am and started reading until it was was time to get up for work. It is going to be a long day!
The second tri honeymoon phase is officially over. Ugh.
I took off work today because I'm feeling so worn down and I have a million little symptoms that are just not going away. Waiting to see my GP now. Weakness, dizzy spells, congestion, nausea, coughing, wheezing, you name it. I just hope I get some answers.
I have a love/hate relationship with the relaxin hormone. SPD pain is sooo terrible. But my neck hasn't hurt for the last 2.5 months!!! Which is glorious because I've been hurting since my car accident in 2010.
Part of me is really hoping that after this pregnancy my neck pain will stay gone as well as my SPD pain. Like some amazing thank you gift for enduring pregnancy. Yeah right. Hahahahahaha!
Proof that we are our own worst critics: I was walking through the hospital this morning to grab a parking pass. Caught my reflection and realized my ass is HUGE. Then while standing in line for my parking pass, a woman walks by and says "I didn't even realize you were pregnant! You don't look pregnant from behind!" Well, okay then. I'll take it.
Amazon has a lightning deal on a Skip Hop bag that I've had my eye on. But it's only 20% off so definitely not worth it. I can get 20% off any day of the week at BBB. Disappointing!

pooh8402- prayers to your friend for a sticky baby!
I'm on cloud 9 this morning- got a call from the OB office with the result of my MaterniT21 test. The baby is negative for all chromosomal abnormalities! I'm so relieved. DH and I are going to go out to dinner tonight to celebrate.

I ordered a pregnancy support belt today. Hoping it will relieve this pelvic pain. I'm frustrated bc I wanted to start doing a prenatal barre video but don't want to cause myself more pain. Did some squats last night and am so not flexible lol.
Excited for family coming for thanksgiving. Going to see how much prep I can do sitting down.
I'm home from work today - extended Tgiving break, but not for a good reason. The violence/riots/protest in the areas have closed a lot of schools and businesses. I'm in St. Louis.

Oh no! Hang in there. Hopefully there is something they can do to get you back on track.

After weeks of trying to get ahold of our benefits department, they offered no advice, told me I needed to call another number to file a claim, and said my job wasn't protected. Awesome. Everyone including my manager at my evaluation last week told me my job was protected. I've only been at my job for 9 months, 10 when the baby comes, so I don't qualify for FMLA. I fucking hate this country's lack of maternity leave policies.
The only good news is my manager is amazing and has been actively protecting the job of my coworker that had foot surgery even though she didn't qualify for FMLA. I know she would do everything in her power to protect my job but now I'm having major anxiety.
So much for the "TTC doesn't wait for life" motto I followed. How was I to know that the first round of Clomid would work, especially after H's bro was told IVF would be the only way he could conceive? Ugh.

I hate this country's ML policies too MrsAggie. So stupid that you won't get any protection I consider myself extremely lucky my time off will be paid (unless I were to decide to take the full 16 weeks allowed, the last 4 wouldn't be paid unless I took PTO) and I don't understand why it can't be that way for everyone (or at least to take unpaid time off! I mean, come on!).
