Morning ladies!
Aspe, that is a beautiful picture of your bean! I LOVE IT!!!! I'm so over the moon excited for you! Before you know it, you'll be craving kitkat bars at least that's what I wanted early in my pregnancy. Now just looking at chocolate gives me terrible heartburn. As for the pain, it could be a number of things, but I think it's pretty normal. Try not to bend anymore, more or less try to squat to pick something up. It could be your uterus popping out of your pelvis or round ligament pains. Does it feel uncomfortable sleeping on your tummy yet?
Misty, I'm still sticking with 36 weeks 2 days. I hope you're at least getting some shut eye these days. I remember when I was pregnant with Samuel, I didn't get much sleep at all and I was pretty used to it towards the end, but then one day I just slept the whole day, nothing could get me going, then the next day I went to the doctor and he sent me to get induced. I was so thankful for that entire day of sleep. Take it easy and go to be early if you need.... and your sugars will allow you.
Libby, I can totally sell someone on a mini van! I was talking to my best friend this weekend about it. Alright check it out. I want a mini van so that Dan, myself, Samuel, Sara, MIL, FIL, & BIL can all drive over the hill to visit family in one car. As of right now we need to take two cars and it's a pain in the ass. She suggested a 4 runner with 3rd row seating. I told her that was a good idea, but what about when Christmas comes and we need to pack presents, food, and people? That small amount of space wouldn't be enough room, nor would it feel safe to drive with all of us crammed like that into a car. SELLING POINT: CAMPING. I told her if we had a mini van we could all pile in it and Samuel and Sara could each take a friend (and dogs) and we could pack it full of camping stuff and still be comfortable and safe to drive. She finally understood my point and agreed. I like that they all have store and go seating now, so if need be you can put all the seats down and make a run to lowes or home depot and pick up what you would need a truck for. When we went to Florida I would sit in the far back seat and Dan would pop the middle seat down and it was so easy to get out that I didn't mind sitting back there at all. Especially being pregnant. I want a mini van SOOOOO bad, but it's just not in the budget. I have no idea when a new car will ever be in the budget. But it's on my bucket list!
Krissy, how you doing lady?
Angel, sorry you're feeling under the weather. Did you feel this way with your first? Maybe you're pregnant with a girl this time around? What are you hoping for? Hope you get better soon. Make some chicken soup, kick your feet up, and just have a lazy day.
As for constipation, I've found that eating an Activia yogurt every day has helped. Along with the fiber chewables and oatmeal.
Nicole, That's good to hear you're able to get a new car. What happened to the car you were looking at? I thought once you get married your credit merges and your credit becomes his credit and visa versa. No? I have no idea. You know what we did to boost our credit was we put a couple bills on our credit cards. Like, Dan pays the power, sewer, and garbage I think on his american express. I pay the att bundle, water, and something else on my capital one card. We pay them off every month and it's made our credit scores super high. Plus, we only put things on our lowes card that is interest free for so many months. That way we have time to pay it off. That helps with our credit as well. When I worked at a car dealership, they look at your credit score, but they also look at your history. So, if you had a hard time say 5 years ago, but you've been up to date with all your payments for the last 2 years, they will take that into consideration and that will help raise your credit score. Even just getting gas on your credit card and paying it off every month will help with your score. Another thing is to have a credit card for a long time. The capital one card that I have, I've had for 10 years. I think for the first 2 I never paid it off and it was always maxed out. Then I decided to quit living like a teenager and paid it off and have been using it ever since. Dan wanted to cancel it for some reason and open a new one, but I refused because I've had it for so long and canceling a credit card will ding your credit too. Another thing you can do, instead of the credit card route, is if you have any bills in your name, you can get a letter from the company you have a bill with stating you have good credit with them and you've never been late on a bill. We did that when we bought our house. We didn't need to, but it was just more cushion for the underwriter to approve us. We had 10 years of power, water, and phone bills all paid on time, so why not brag about it? It worked. Best of luck!
Grace, 32 weeks!!! Almost there, it's getting close!! Are you ready? I am so ready to have this baby out of my body and in my arms! Have you decided on a name yet or is it still up in the air?
Hi to all the other ladies!!
AFM, it's going to be a lazy day today. I think my hips are spreading or something because I wake up in the night with terrible hip pain. Its like outside hip pain. Almost like charlie horses in my hips. It hurts so bad. We're suppose to go grocery shopping today and I don't give a damn, I'm getting a motorized cart and the only person I'm giving it up for is going to be the elderly person!!! Hope you ladies are enjoying your day!
. I hope you can now relax a bit and enjoy your pregnancy. Your scan is lovely 
.
Take it easy when you can, we don't want to see you burning out 
. Between MS, a heavy cold, constipation and a UTI I feel as if I've been 5 rounds with Mike Tyson
. At least it means I have no energy to worry about my scan in the morning, I'll panic shortly I'm sure though!
