I bought Earth Momma Angel Baby Third Trimester Tea. Has anyone else used this? I like the way it tastes, but I'm doubtful it'll do anything. I struggled with supply for DS1 and used their Milkmaid tea - I found it did help so I bought some more this time around.
Midwife appointment this morning. Lots of questions about how GD is going to affect the rest of my pregnancy and especially whether they will want me to delivery early or if they'll allow me to go past my due date.
I got a large project off my desk yesterday so when I get into the office I can breathe, but only a bit since I'm still covering for a co-worker how had a death in the family and is off this week on top of my regular job.
I also need to go visit my Dad over my lunch since he's in the hospital in the city I work in. He just had surgery to remove a large (thankfully non-cancerous) polyp in his colon. Figured a visit from the baby bump might cheer him up. He hasn't seen me since I was 17 or 18 weeks so things have changed a lot since then!
Good luck @starry!
dojo, I'm also curious about the tea. I just haven't gotten around to getting some yet.
achi if you like the taste of spearmint you'll like this tea. I mostly drink it hot, but I made an extra cup the other day to chill and drank it with lemon, it was really nice.

I do! And I love iced tea so that sounds great as I march on to July.
i'm on my way in to my OB shortly due to some bleeding I am 14+4 today and I had/have an SCH, but I haven't had red blood for about 5 weeks. needless to say it caught me off guard this morning and freaked me out. I'm very thankful that my OB's is understanding and able to get me in first thing.
Anatomy scan part 2 today. The first one didn't raise any red flags (phew!), but baby stayed head down, face back, and they didn't get all the measurements they needed. We barely got to see the kid's face, which was a little disappointing, so hopefully there will be more of that today and they will get what they need.
It is so so so cool to be able to see all four chambers of that heart working.

Glad to hear everything looks ok, kath16. And good luck, Muddled - I hope your baby behaves today! During our impromptu US yesterday, the tech tried so hard to get a picture of his face, but he was not. feeling it. He kept moving away. I was so relieved after everything he'd put us through with the NST that I wasn't even disappointed. But man, they can be stubborn when they want to be.(Usually when you most need them NOT to be, I've been finding.)
I am sooooo tirrrrrrrrrrrred today. I took half a unisom last night so I could sleep, but it didn't work, so I was groggy from lack of sleep and unisom when my alarm went off. I am also really tired of sleeping with/on all the pillows, like the princess and the pea or something. I cannot wait until I can sleep like a normal person without them. (I'm sure my husband is counting the days, too.)
I had lunch with my parents today at a local diner. First one lady nearly fell on the floor when I told her I was 37 weeks (after she guessed that I must be already way overdue). Then she asked if I was having twins. I'm just fat, lady.
A few moments later a second lady asked me if I was having a girl because I'm "carrying all over" (read: super fat)
I just had to laugh. Literally no one can start a conversation about someone's pregnancy belly without it winding up being awkward and offensive. I have thick skin and I know they were just trying to be kind/engaging so I wasn't really offended.
I was at a wedding this past weekend where my very drunk friend from university who I haven't seen in 3 years kept on trying to get a good luck at my ass so he could determine if I was having a boy or a girl. He decided boy since my butt is not bigger. Um. Thanks Mark.
I kind of shut the car door on my bump when I got to the office today. I am not used to having a stomach that sticks out past my boobs. Sorry Baby!

dojo - I feel you. Apparently I change size by the minute.
Saturday - "I'm a maternity photographer and you look so tiny! I would never guess you're due in less than 3 weeks"
Monday morning - "How have you not had that baby yet?" Monday afternoon - When telling my doctor about Saturday - "You are certainly not tiny."
Tuesday - "You look like you've got a couple more weeks to go."
Wednesday - "We all talk about how uncomfortable it must be to be you."
Add me to the exhausted club. I am having the hardest time keeping my eyes open. I think I could fall asleep standing up. I feel like I've been drugged. And that's after 7 hours of almost uninterrupted sleep last night (1 bathroom wakeup)
I have been pretty worried because I haven't felt baby girl move hardly at all (even with poking and prodding) yesterday or today. I tried drinking orange juice, ice water, eating sugar, etc. nothing seemed to work. I tried 2 kick counts yesterday the first I only got 8 movements in 2 hours and at night when I finally started feeling some movement I just barely got 10 in the 2 hours. Usually she is super active and reactive so it makes me nervous. I have mild preeclampsia so I have NSTs twice weekly and the one on Tuesday she passed with flying colors (as she always does). When I called the on call doc last night he said that 8 movements in 2 hours was fine since it was late in my pregnancy and the NST is designed to say everything should be fine for a week so he wasn't worried. I'm still worried though because it's so different. I might call and run it by my OB today, but I am scheduled for another NST tomorrow and I really don't want to make a big deal over it especially when the on call doc seemed like it was nothing to worry about. Plus I know the second I go in she is probably going to start dancing around like crazy.
