Happy 3rd tri Ja!!!!

I can't believe we are so close to meeting our little ones now!! Crazy!!!

 

[TTDuck]

this bout came up out of nowhere! When I had food poisoning last week it was easy to pinpoint what caused it! My stomach may just be extra sensitive right now. I might try to see if tums helps if it happens again! And maybe stick to bland foods!

I was doing the math recently and realized I wasn't far from the 3rd trimester! I take a long time to show so you wouldn't guess it looking at me! congrats to the ladies already there!

Hi Ladies! I haven't posted in awhile, been super busy at home.

We went out of state for a vacation to visit DH's parents and family. They had an awesome baby shower planned for us, and we got SO much stuff.

The nursery is almost set up completely.

I think I have started having some Braxton Hicks Contractions, but I'm not sure.. It could also possibly be stretching? I'm not sure.

I have my Glucose test in 2 weeks, and I'm kind of worried about that. I'm measuring 3 weeks ahead, and baby is very chubby, so MD said she was concerned about GD. I guess we shall see.

Glad to see everyone is doing okay! 100 days or less for most of us!! woohoo! We will be meeting our little bundles soon!

I failed my glucose screening by 7 points. now I have to take the 3 hour test. I'm really bummed bc if I fail that, I can't see the midwives anymore, and the docs will want to induce me at 39 weeks.

 

[ja14]

Thanks, Pink! It still seems like my due date is so far away still! But then again 10 weeks ago didn't seem long ago, so to think he could be here in that time is crazy!

I've def gotten in the uncomfortable stage.. I can't even imagine how a few weeks will feel. The past two night I'm mostly slept at an incline, and it's helped my discomfort a little. Laying flat on my sides were just killing my ribs and I couldn't do that anymore! Basically sitting up in bed trying to fall asleep is awkward at first, but I actually fell asleep pretty fast!

 

[pinkpassion]

Drjo 7 points isn't that bad, I hope you pass the 3 hour, that would be really sad not to get to see your midwives anymore !!!

Ja I never thought about it like that but you are right, these past 26 weeks have flown by, especially the last 10+ weeks. So the next 13-14 weeks are going to zoom by!!!! Especially as we all start buckling down and getting the last things finished for baby!!!

 

[sugargully]

Sorry drjo. 7 points doesn't seem like a lot.

Ja I've been sleeping in the recliner cause it's nearly impossible to get myself out the bed. I don't even lay it back just put an ottoman under my feet. You're right it's not that hard to fall asleep upright.

 

[nicole6212]

Noodle- fingers crossed for you. My girl is measuring two weeks ahead, with adorable chubby cheeks, but I'm negative for GD, hope its the same for you.
Drjo- hope you're able to pass the 3hr, and that you get to stay with your midwives.

 

[busytulip]

NZkiwi I love that bump piccy

sugargully I am so sorry that you were in that amount of pain, I hope that it has eased

Drjo bummer that you need to do the 3 hour Praying you pass with flying colors and don't feel sickly during

Noodle hopefully you just have a very chubby little cherub in there and not GD. What did you decide to do with the nursery? Any particular theme?

TTduck sorry to hear that nausea is making her appearance again

Wow ladies, 3rd tri. (or nearly there)

 

[NZKiwi]

Drjo sorry to hear about the test results, its a bummer you won't get to stay with your mw if you do have it, but if you do have it knowing about it is safer for you and bubs in theong run. I really hope the three hr comes back negative thoughts.
Ttduck I wonder if the food poisoning upset your bacteria in your stomach?

Baby only lets me sleep on my right side and I really miss sleeping on my back, I might try sleeping propped up too

 

[NoodleHelm]

sugargully I am sorry you have been in so much pain. I think I will try sleeping at an incline as well. I was going to try and get a prenancy pillow, but there doesn't seem to be much point this late in pregnancy.

Drjo 7 point's isn't that much.. fingers crossed you pass!

busytulip I hope so!! I do love chubby cheeks to kiss. We went with sports in navy blue and dark reds. I'll post a pic when done.

TTduck Sorry to hear you aren't feel well. Make sure you stay hydrated!

It really seems surreal to me that I am making lists of last minute things to do before the baby is born.

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Drjo, my good friend failed her one hour glucose test with both of her pregnancies, but passed the 3 hour test. So considering you only failed by 7 points, I think the odds are good that you'll pass the next one.

As for sleeping, I'm screwed no matter what. If I sleep on my side, my hips kill me, and if I slept on my back at an incline, my tailbone would hurt even worse (because I hurt it when I fell down the stairs a few weeks ago). So I've resigned myself to hobbling like an invalid every time I get out of bed.

 

[TTDuck]

nzkiwi - that's what I suspect. feeling fine today!

drjo - bummer! the 3 hour is no fun. when I had to do it with my first I was going hypoglycemic by the last blood draw - have a snack ready for afterwards! hope you pass, but don't stress if you don't! There's a good chance you would be able to control it with diet - my doc had me go through a class/program to get a diet plan and help with monitoring my blood sugar.

noodle - it may just be genetics if bigger babies run in the family!

 

[drjo718]

Ttduck, I wouldn't worry about it so much but I have to switch providers if I fail

 

[sugargully]

I got my first belly rubs today! I have to admit, I didn't hate it. Maybe because I know the ladies and they are among my favorite co-workers.

 

[Em260]

Drjo - sorry to hear that. Hopefully you will pass the 3 hr. It seems like most people pass the 3 hr even if they fail the 1 hr.

Ja - I can only sleep on my right side and my hips were getting so sore from it. We got one of those foam mattress pads and that has helped a lot but maybe I should try sleeping on an incline as well. I miss sleeping on my back!

Busy - good to see you on here! How are you?

Spiffy - luckily I mostly dressed my DD in white and gray from 0-6 months so I can reuse quite a bit. After 6 months there was a lot of pink, purple, and ruffles creeping in haha.

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Em, we got all our 0-6 months clothes from baby showers, and everyone wanted to get the fun, cute, girly stuff, so I couldn't reuse almost any of it! Right now we're thinking we'll probably have two more kids after a little break, so hopefully one of them will be a girl so we can actually use all the girl clothes again.

 

[busytulip]

Spiffy I love that you envision more children in your future.

Em I'm okay, heartbroken over our most recent loss. But thankful for a loving, supportive husband to be walking through it with.

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Busy, I'm so sorry to hear that you've had another loss. How far along were you this time? Thank goodness you have a loving and supportive husband to help you.

 

[Em260]

Busy - I'm so sorry to hear about your loss Sending prayers and healing thoughts your way.
