I just realized that the title of the weekend thread is ransoms instead of randoms! Lol autocorrect.
I went to bed at 8:45 last night because I was so tired. Well I've been awake since 1am, urg. (It's now 5am here.)
When people ask me how I'm doing now that I'm nearing the end of pregnancy I sometimes reply with "I'm feeling ok just tired." I need to stop saying that because then everyone tells me to get more sleep. Ya like that's easy. I've suffered from insomnia my entire life, that hasn't gotten better with pregnancy. 😞

I think with pregnancy you can get all the sleep and still be tired awick14!
I was so happy yesterday because I hadn't had any spotting in several days, then of course last night I had a tiny little bit, ugh. None this morning though. I need to call the ob to get clarification on my thyroid med dose, and I may ask to come in for a quick doppler check mid-week. It makes me feel so much better knowing she's okay in there.
thoseareradishes- ya, even the nights I do sleep I don't feel rested.
How far along are you again? I hope the spotting stops all together and your OB can get you in for a quick check. (My OB told me I could come in whenever I needed to for a quick Doppler, it helped me be reassured that things were ok.)

awick14, I'm 13 weeks today. The doctor and midwife that I've seen so far have both said it's no problem for me to come in for a quick check, so that makes me happy that they are understanding. The midwife said they get paid the same amount from the insurance company whether I come in once or 20 times, so I might as well take advantage of it!
Morning. We are getting a snow storm here and I am so happy to have snow! However, bummed that our appointment has been delayed until tomorrow. I am so torn on how to feel right now.
thoseareradishes, I am really glad your team basically said come in whenever for a check. JEALOUS.
I'm dragging today. I had my company Christmas party last night so I got to bed late and of course C was up every few hours. Ugh! I had a blast at the party though. It seems that my people have the most fun over the others. I had M be a true babysitter and watch C while we went.
I didn't have headaches at all during first tri, but here comes one today! 13 weeks today and while my app says second tri doesn't start until tomorrow, my doctor said it's today and it sounds more fun, so I'm going with today. I think it's related to low blood pressure, because it's a million times worse when I stand up and move around. Hoping it goes away soon because I have to be in court in about 4 hours.
We had friends here for the weekend with their two kids. It was fun but busy and loud and with the bad weather we were all basically stuck in the house all weekend. So I'm slowly coming down from that. I'm introverted so I really crave some quiet time to myself especially after that.
We got our tree up and I finally ordered photo Christmas cards last night. I'll pick them up today and hopefully get the most in the mail tomorrow. We also have to ship a gift box to the ILs and I need to get my baking and wrapping done. I can't believe Christmas is in less than 2 weeks! At least I'm mostly done shopping.

thoseareradishes, I'm glad they're so understanding! I hope you feel reassured that baby is a-ok.
I had some light spotting last night after two days of nothing, so obviously I'm stressed. I haven't even been back to work since my ER visit, but my coworkers keep assuring me everything is okay and to take whatever time I need. Is there a way to just fast forward and know that everything will end up okay? Lol.
I feel so torn. Since Friday I have had on and off queasiness and exhaustion and a few cramps and twinges. But mostly nothing, and those things all seem like something I can attribute to other things (I have a sinus infection, so of course I am exhausted and queasy, if I am having a missed miscarriage, that could also explain the cramps, etc). I am just so anxious for tomorrow because I really just feel like something is wrong.

I feel like i got so much accomplished today. I finished writing all the birth announcements/thank yous from the baby shower and got them mailed out. Baked a batch of cookies and did some tidying up around the house. Thanks to miss K for having rockstar naps today so that I could get things done. Tomorrow we're off to the city to meet with a friend to finish Christmas shopping and go for lunch. I'm really looking forward to that!
25 week appointment went well. No scare with the doppler this time thankfully. However, Doc mentioned I have elevated protein in the urine. Plan right now is to continue to watch that and my blood pressure (which came out my normal low today). So hoping that this doesn't become pre-eclampsia.

Yay thoseareradishes, so reassuring! Hang in there shauni27, you'll have answers tomorrow. We're all here for you. Shoot grover, I hope it improves/doesn't worsen. (I don't know how these things work!)
I had a 36 week appointment today. I had psyched myself out that something was wrong because I've been feeling less movement lately (not that I ever felt a ton due to the stupid anterior placenta). Baby is healthy and still breathing, though. BUT, he/she/it is breech. Has been for WEEKS, but I would've bet money that it had turned in the last couple of weeks. So, my doctor gave me two options: try to turn the baby (a version??) or scheduled a c-section at 39 weeks. Anyone have experience in this? Part of thinks nothing is lost in trying the version, but I hear it HURTS. I'm not a diehard "it must be a vaginal birth" girl, but I'd rather do it the old-fashioned way, I guess.
Chrysanthemum, sorry to hear baby's breech. I don't have experience with turning a baby, but I loved my planned c-section (and know others who loved theirs) so if it comes to that for you, there are lots of us on this board who had a good experience and are happy to answer any questions.
I'm just counting down the days until H comes to visit. I know he's missed A like crazy. I just hope she doesn't get fussy about him. She's big on stranger danger. She seemed to remember my parents after being away from them for 2 months, so hopefully she'll be just fine with H. I know it would break his heart if she didn't recognise him.
grover- I hope your BP stays down and that the protein stays out of your urine.
Chrysanthemum, I hope baby turns on their own or that the inversion works. (I think that baby turning at this point can be painful regardless of how baby turns, as there isn't much room in there.) Regardless I hope that however baby comes goes well.
Yay thoseareradishes, so reassuring! Hang in there shauni27, you'll have answers tomorrow. We're all here for you. Shoot grover, I hope it improves/doesn't worsen. (I don't know how these things work!)

My baby was breech also. My doctor refused to do a version because I had an anterior placenta. She said risks were too high. I had a c section scheduled for my due date but it got bumped to 39 weeks due to low fluid.
