Boring day here. I just finished housework. I'm planning on making some blueberry muffins in a little while. DH comes home late tonight. I may go help him unload a truck so he can get done and come home to relax. So not much going on here.
H and I are talking about going to see Suicide Squad today, but we'll see if it actually happens. Other than that, homework. I'm so ready for this term to be over.
DH has been working on taking loads of stuff out of the garage and getting it all arranged in the new shop.
Allergies are kicking my butt so I was up half the night coughing. I've been going back and forth between sitting and doing nothing and trying to get a little cleaning done.
Going to ILs later. Joint birthday celebrations for DH, BIL, and SIL. So 3 different cakes and 3 different ice creams. I'm gonna be so sick after all of that. Lol. I'm excited! Leftover cake!

I'm resting from my fun night last night! Had a great time celebrating the bachelorette. We were up pretty late and drank a few drinks so.. recovery time! Lol
I'm enjoying a romantic dinner for one lol. H left late and won't be home until around midnight. I just continued with my plans, opened a bottle of wine and enjoying dinner by candlelight. Would be better if he was here though.
Today has been pretty low-key. I made chocolate cookies and ate 800, but then I exercised, so I figure it evens out (lol, unlikely). My dad came over and we played a board game. Tonight H and I have scheduled some super excellent sex, so I'm looking forward to that, provided L decides to sleep.
katespade & estrellita- I feel fine and baby seems to be moving the same as normal, but as the day goes on I am more and more anxious about it. Sigh, I don't know. Stupid PGAL brain. I'm off work soon so I'm debating going to the doctor and seeing what they say. But I would be going to a hospital that isn't in my town and wouldn't have my history or anything so it's hard. Do I go and sit in the ER for hours before I drive 4 hrs home tomorrow or do I just wait until Tuesday when I have an OB appointment.
awick14 - I have no experience with pregnancy and I'm sure that BabyAwick is absolutely fine, but I think it's worth an ER trip if it will help your anxiety. Tuesday is a long time to wait if you're worried that something may be wrong.

awick14 *hugs* I can only imagine how anxious you feel about it. I'm glad baby has been moving around ok. I can't remember, did you call and talk to a nurse or anything? Just wondering if there are things to watch out for like pains, bleeding, etc. I'm sure baby is just fine but I understand! If you think it would ease your anxiety to go to the ER I'd go, just for the peace of mind to know everything is ok. It's too bad the ER is always so slow though. It always kinda bothered me that you couldn't go to urgent care for something like that. Why can't a regular doctors office have a doppler and portable u/s machine for things like this so you don't have to sit in the ER for hours just to probably get 10 min of a quick check?
estrellita- I did call, they said I could go to the ER if I wanted, but the nurse didn't see a real need without any other symptoms. (Unless I hit my belly then I need to go in.)
She said any cramping/pain, bleeding/spotting I should go in.
If I was in my city I wouldn't hesitate to go in, but I feel like the doctors here won't take me seriously if I go in. (They probably won't but I struggle so much with what is just me being crazy verse actual concern.)
I think I will see how I feel when I am off work. (2 hrs still, 9pm.) I called dh earlier to let him know what happened and he was very reassuring and he said that I should go in if I want to. He was so sweet, he can't wait until I get home tomorrow.

awick14 if it helps, I was super paranoid about everything and would probably be worried too and I obviously don't have your history, so you're not crazy! It's so hard not to constantly worry even in a typical situation. Especially when you haven't been this far in a pregnancy before so how do you know what's normal, you know?
DH and I had sex twice this week. So nice since it had been like a month since we had. It always puts us both in a better mood. Yay for his birthday motivating me.
Great day! Went to church this morning and had my parents over for dinner to celebrate my dad's bday! Just finished a large bowl of ice cream and am resting on the couch before heading to bed in a bit!

So jealous! We are on a 10 week dry spell (and haven't had much at all since getting pregnant). DH simply is not interested and after the scare last week I doubt we will for a LONG while. Oh well...sex at this point is not pretty awkward between now and baby coming.

Hugs I think I was about this far along when we stopped when I was pg with G. DH was just not into it once I got so far along. I was worried it would be months before we did it again so glad we at least got a couple times this week. We have been fussing more and just not being really nice to each other and this is one way for us to bond and get along better.

It's amazing how much sex helps our marriage (at least on my end of things). We definitely fight more when we are not having sex and that was the case before my break here. Thankfully things have calmed down a lot since the move but I have resigned to no sex til post baby (which might be awhile since we are not in agreement on BC...i am against hormonal since DH is not interested in more frequent sex and condoms won't work due to issues DH has). Should be interesting to see how we navigate this...as much as I want a third kid I would never take that chance knowing DH says he is done after this one.
It's 2am. I have been trying to sleep since 11pm. I have an awful cough and I have been just laying in bed coughing. I just got back from Walmart I tried everything we had in the house but finally broke down after 2.5 hours of trying to sleep and went and bought cough syrup. Now I'm just waiting for it to kick in so I can sleep. So tired.... and G will be up in 4.5 -5 hours. Soooo thankful DH took tomorrow off already.
After everything this evening I just decided that I was awake enough and instead of sitting at the hospital in the new city I drove to my home hospital. I stopped there on my way home and they took me straight to maternity and said that after 20 weeks I don't need to go to the ER anymore, I need to go straight upstairs.
Anyways I was assessed within 5 mins of getting there and baby's heart beat was easy to pick up on the Doppler. They reassured me everything is ok. I am now just waiting for the nurse to call the doctor on call to make sure that they are ok with me going home.
Then I will surprise dh with the fact that I am home now instead of this afternoon. I will probably sleep until the afternoon now. Lol
