Cazz - I was told you can't take anything when I was sick. Just a sinus rinse and some tylenol. Those pains are round ligament pain, and really suck!! Hope you feel better soon!

because SF is the windiest city I've ever been to.

I remember being FREEZING in SF because of the wind. We were doing a california road trip and then over to Vegas so I'd only bought summer clothes so ended up having to go to Old Navy and buy myself a pullover! I still have it now, and wore it today

Not sure if you can see in my face how cold I was in the wind in this pic! (just realised how skinny I was too, sigh!)

 

[heart tree]

Cazz, of course you can add me as can anyone else on this thread! I rarely use FB though, so don't expect to see me too much there.

Jenny, sorry you feel so poorly hon. Being sick is just awful.

Cesca, did you come to SF in the summer? Actually, summer is one of the coldest seasons because of the fog. We locals have a good laugh at the tourists who wear summer clothes in SF during the summer months. It is so easy to pick out the locals because they are the ones wearing the big Old Navy sweatshirts! Old Navy must love it!

People think that all of California is warm, but in reality the state is so huge that it has many different temperatures. For the most part, SF and the Bay Area is cool year round. We never really get hot summer weather here. It is my one complaint about this city.

 

[prgirl_cesca]

It was early September. I really hadn't done my research well at all! I had one long pair of trousers and that was it! Idiot! When we got to LA/Vegas it was SO hot I wearing tiny summer dresses. I loved old navy though, wish we had them here!

My sister went to California in January and had to pack the craziest wardrobe. Snowboarding gear for Mammoth, then lightweight clothes for LA only a few days later.

September and October are some of the best months here. We can go from 68 degrees (20 Celcius) to 90 degrees (32 Celcius) in a day! You never know what the weather is going to be during these months. But, it never rains. Ever. Only in the winter do we get rain. Weird, huh?

If anyone comes to visit, I tell them to bring layers. I'm the queen of layers. Always have something light underneath that you can strip down to in case it gets hot. And always, always have a jacket or a sweater. I rarely wear dresses because my legs get too cold. Luckily I have some new beautiful boots this season thanks to Tim and plan to wear more dresses with leggings.

 

[heart tree]

Cesca, any new bump pics? I'll add you on FB. Maybe you are posting them there.

 

[heart tree]

OMG your profile pic is so cute! Rambo and Rainbow Brite!!!

Hi girls, I'm away for the weekend and haven't got caught up yet... but am having an awful time sleeping still.

I've gotten about 3 hours per night for the past 3 nights...I just lie there all night and then I get anxious that my lack of sleep will cause problems with the development of little bubs or cause a mc to the point where I'm panicking. I can't stop worrying about it. I can't even nap during the day because of the worry.

On a positive note I got a 3+ on a CB digi the day before we left; I would have been just 5 weeks along at that point. I was relieved because I never even got a 3+ at the 7 week point in my previous prengancy, so that must be a good sign.

But now I'm worried I've ruined everything with my lack of sleep.

Why can't I just relax and enjoy this???

Sorry for the ME post but I'm a wreck.

 

[heart tree]

April, lack of sleep isn't going to hurt the development. This is a very common thing to happen in many women. Your body will sleep when it needs to. Your baby is going to take everything it needs from you. If you aren't sleeping, your baby doesn't care. It is still going to take any nutrients and energy it needs to grow. Eventually you'll get exhausted! The only one that may have problems from lack of sleep is you.

You need to find ways to calm your nerves. You need to find things that relax you. Light yoga, perhaps. Deep breathing. A hot chocolate. The 3+ is a great sign at 5 weeks! This pregnancy is not the same as the last one. Just because some of us have had more than one loss, doesn't mean you are going to. Will you be having a 6 week scan?

I'm sorry you are feeling so anxious. I wish once we got our BFPs that we could relax, but that just isn't the reality.

 

[yogi77]

Thanks Hearty, I'm such a mess over this...you've made me feel a bit better, thank you so much for your support I have a scan on the 24th and I will be 6 weeks at that point. The doctor had requested the scan for sometime in January because she wanted me to be further along but the hospital just happened to book me in early because they had a cancellation! So I will go at 6 weeks, and then maybe have the doctor request another one for 8-10 weeks.

 

[msarkozi]

Yogi, you will totally not cause the baby any harm by lack of sleep. No need to worry about that at all. It is just something that happens to go along with pregnancy, which really sucks. If you actually can get a good night of sleep, count your blessings! Like I said before, I would love to tell you it gets better, but for me it still hasn't, and I'm 30 weeks. Just sleep when you can, and make sure you are getting proper nutrients into your body, as your baby is stealing everything from you.

That is nice that you get a scan on Christmas Eve. What a great early christmas present that will be, to see that little blob on the screen that is going to be your baby in just 34 more weeks

 

[yogi77]

Thanks Mel, I really hope I manage to start getting more than 3 hours because I am a total zombie and can barely function. I will TRY to relax but have been unsuccessful so far...I guess I'll feel better once I actually see something on a screen to make it feel more real.

 

[prgirl_cesca]

Yeah that my from my sister's 'R' themed birthday party!!

I don't post many bump pics on FB as most of my friends are not at the same stage of life as me and I panic so much i'll piss them off and become one of 'those' women who posts about her pregnancy all the time!

Anyway here is my bump pic from Friday night. I sent it to my sister who hasn't seen me since October and it was a bit of a shock!

 

[msarkozi]

beautiful Cesca!

Yogi - that is going to be you, posting bump pictures for us soon Yes, I totally know what you mean. If you are even able to grab a nap during lunch breaks, do it. I hate how our bodies like to prep us for when the baby is born, but it would be nice if it would hold off until the last few weeks, and just let us sleep all we want before that!

 

[prgirl_cesca]

Another tip to sleep when you can yogi. I was napping on the sofa from 4pm until about 6pm then going to bed in the evening. In fact I still do it sometimes!!!!

 

[Megg33k]

Awww! You look so pretty with your bump, Cesca!
