Fern I actually didn't know that it was a name of a flower
how cool.
I'm so sorry you aren't having the support you deserve. Your MIL sounds like a real piece of work.
oh and yay for a little under 14 weeks until your leave.
Cc cute bump.
Co, yes it can be a bit worrisome with finances and a baby. I was especially like that with my 1st. I had been promoted when pregnant with 2nd and already had pretty much everything so it was much less stressful. I've had a little stress this time since we are wanting to sell our home and buy one. Plus DH is going to become a SAHD since daycare prices would be ridiculous for 3. We should be able to manage but will have to watch money carefully.
Yikes MIL had such a poor response. You'd think she'd be over the moon. Oh but what an awesome gift getting all that baby clothes
Yay for baby growing to 16th percentile and everything being good. Also holy moly he should be a yoga instructor already lol
Cat, Bonnie is a lovely name. Hope weight just comes off you but lil Bonnie keeps growing
I think waters breaking before contractions only occur in like 8 to 10% of pregnancies. I'm hopingI continue with my streak of waters breaking b4 contractions so I have more time to get childcare sorted.
Glad Bonnie is okay.
Joanna I really like Connor. It's not sonething I hear often but it's not a unique spelling or made up sounding name. I'm personally not fond of either of those or very popular names.
My waters broke before I had contractions with both of my girls 1st at 34+5 and my 2nd at 39+4. I did take progesterone injections with my 2nd pregnancy to prevent preterm labor. I'd just mention your concern to OB and be hyper vigilent for signs of preterm labor. In hindsight I had some but was in denial and blew them off mostly. I did get seen the day before at an urgent care(it was a holiday and OB office was closed) because of increased vaginal discharge but I really should have called OB the next day. Alls well that ends well though.
Jelly so glad for good testing results
Oh and sorry for pelvic pain after walking on the beach/sand.
Azure we are meeting with a realtor to discuss selling our home by end of the month. Well putting up for sale. I'm a bit nervous with thought of moving heavily pregnant with a 3 y.o. and currently 16 month old. DH and I discussed that we may wait though. Homes are selling quickly in our area though so good time to sale.
Breast pumps. I've used medela PISA, spectra s2, and hospital grade medela. Spectra was the best. It was quieter, gentler, and most efficient. If you can, get the s1 though for the portability factor. I'm also trying out a hakaa this time. I'm not sure it'll be useful for me since I don't tend to leak. I never leaked with 2nd baby and only a few times with my 1st.
Pine sounds like a lovely trip. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
AFM been busy at work. Had a mishap with mail courier that had the potential to cost my company thousands of dollars. Was thankfully able to get an extension from the insurance company. We have also been busy getting house ready to potentially put up for sale. Meeting with realtor Friday to discuss. I'm excited and nervous at the same time.
I'll try to post a bump pic but I look huuuge to have only gained 6-7lbs. I'm all uterus lol.
