February Lovebugs of 2016!! 16 pink, 15 blue, 7 yellow

Forums New posts
Spent yesterday and part of today cleaning out the office so it can become the nursery. Loaded up 4 large boxes of stuff to be moved to the basement... My OH took those downstairs for me. We moved the changing table from my daughter's room to the nursery after that...

After he left, I took the crib apart and moved it to the office. Apparently I overdid it or was dehydrated because I started experiencing BH around 10:00pm. They kept coming about every 2-5 minutes for over an hour. Yikes! I sat down to rest, but my toddler kept getting out of bed and needed a drink, a certain blanket, a piece of cheese, etc. Finally at 11:00pm I crawled into her bed with her and went to sleep. I woke up at 1am and the BH had stopped... I moved back to the couch to watch some Netflix, but I fell back asleep. Finally at 3:15am, my daughter woke me up and we both moved to my bed for the night...

I woke up feeling all kinds of sore, by only 3 BH all day today! That is totally normal for me, as I usually have between 2-10 a day on average.

Finally finished moving out the 2 extra bookshelves and the computer desk from the office today... The crib, changing table, and rocking chair are moved in! :happydance:
 
Jax, my condolences :hugs: sending lots of good energy your way.

Nenna, sounds like you've got the nesting bug! A very eventful night for you too, my word! Glad to hear that the BH have returned to normal. Really, up to 10 a day? On average I only get maybe 4-8 but they get really frequent when walking around a bunch.

AFM enjoying the beach! Very cold but still beautiful and relaxing. The lodge we are at is all booked out but doesn't seem to be very loud at all. Hope all the American ladies here enjoyed a happy Thanksgiving, the European ladies I hope you enjoy Black Friday deals and shopping! And the Australian/NZ ladies, enjoy the weather!
 
Happy belated Thanksgiving to all the American ladies :) and if anyone had Black Friday shopping to do..hope you got what you wanted.

AFM: Went out today, only to two stores...and later in the day after the mad rushes cause I don't do black Friday, but we were hoping to find good deals on some baby things, got three outfits for price of one! socks...booties...hats...onesies...bottles/liners and curtains for the nursery. Only so much you can get gender neutral...now we are just at a wait till 12/10 and hopefully babe spreads those legs!

Two big items left to get; Swing and Chair for nursery.
 
Got a burst of nesting energy again today. Another thorough clean is on the books today! And tonight will be my son's last night in the crib. His Big Boy bed is being put together tomorrow so I can finally get moving on transitioning him out
 
I can't believe we're in the last couple months! What?!? Didn't we just find out yesterday we were pregnant??
 
I think so!

My son turns 7 on Tuesday...the first day of December. It's very hard to wrap my head around the fact that there are only two sets of Mommies left to have their babies before it's our turn.
 
I just feel like time is crawling, lol... I want days to go by faster!
 
I'm surprising myself because I thought I would feel like that but I still go 75% of the day not thinking a ton about being pregnant or when the baby will get here. Which I was thinking is odd because it's my first and we tried for a few years. But I also don't physically feel uncomfortable yet and even at 31 weeks I'm in all of my normal clothes still. So maybe that's it!
 
I think that's the reason it's flying for me. This is the first pregnancy I've made it this far without maternity clothes too, and I have 4 already so my thoughts aren't around what I need to be ready for baby. Otherwise, this would be going super slowly.
 
Busy day today! Came back from OB appointment... Little bug is actually measuring more than 1.4 Kg (3 lb 2 oz) which is almost 31 weeks! :happydance: Well, to be honest, the doctor started mentioning that if he weighs too much at birth we might need to consider a c-section, but he also pointed out that it's still far enough into the future and not something we seriously need to consider yet, so I'm not worried. I'd rather the baby weighs more rather than less, given my mild thrombophilia background (if his weight holds up, I'll probably be able to ditch the aspirin in a couple of weeks and avoid the heparin shots altogether). But he did also politely hint that I should maybe watch my weight (I've already put on 10 Kg /20 pounds). But I'm just putting on weight around my belly and my bump is huge and tight, to the point that I can't pinch the skin most of the time. So, I was thinking after I got home, maybe if the baby measures at 31 weeks, I can get away with a weight gain of 31 weeks too? Does it even work that way? I'm really huge for a FTM, and compared to a friend of mine who's only a week behind in her pregnancy, I'm ridiculously heavy. But it seems to be all bump?

This is what I looked like at 26 weeks:

Anyway, I suppose I should moderate my calorie intake a little bit. No more sweets or chocolate! :blush:

We also officially changed my EDD to February 19. :thumbup: We could have done that from the beginning, since it's the right one based on both my small cycle and all our early ultrasounds, but the doctor felt more certain about making the change now that the baby really measures ahead as well.

In other news, constipation sucks. :growlmad:
 
Hi Ladies,

happy belated Thanksgiving and for the ones who did Black Friday, hope all went well!

Quantea,
cute bump you have in there! From the pics you posted, your arms and legs looked great, it is really just the bump! You look great!
and I agree with you; constipation do suck!

Jess, 31 weeks and still normal clothes?? Do your pants still fit you??
I'm not able to button or zip my pants closed since 2nd trimester LOL!

Brandi,
when you say that we only have 2 set of mommies before it is our turn.... oh my! hard to believe!!! and with Xmas and new years on our way, time will go faster... just think that January will be the longest month EVER!!
 
I passed my 1 hour glucose test! Woohooo!! So relieved!!

I can't believe its already December, this month is going to fly by.
 
Quantea, love your bump <3 <3

Jax congrats! Mine is Dec 11th if nothing gets reschedule. She's doing it right in the nick of time at 28+2.

Totally feel like this month is flying by. I moved into maternity shirts and L-XL panties by the fifth month. Some of my PP stuff does fit if I really stretch it over my belly haha. Mostly the pants from before will fit.

OH and I are taking an extended break. Feels like this month will creep when I'm watching and fly when I'm not. Need to take some time to explore in the woods with some good music and thinking about this little baby and how much I love it.
 
Hi girls!!!

Congrats Jax on passing... I passed my 3 our test on sat as well. Woohoo! :wohoo: I just read your post about your losses recently.. so sorry to hear. :(

Quantea, your bump pics are so cute. You look like you are pretty tiny so I would think that the weight that you put on is ok but Im not a dr lol

Brandi, cute bum pic as well!!!

Is everyone ready fro Christmas now? I have been hounding DH to put up decorations for weeks now and now that its Dec, I dont think I have energy to even watch lol Hope everyone is doing well... we are getting closer girls! :dance:
 
Not even close. I was able to replace our tree but not our decorations. It's gonna be a small Christmas this year with all the financial disasters that happened in the last two weeks, and now my transmission is going on my van so I need to get a new one.

Yeah so far! Surprises me too! My Dr said she thinks my torso is long so there's lots of space haha but I do unbutton the top button after I eat lol




Today is two months till my due date!
 
OB appointment this morning. Hoping for lower BP, or at least stable, and to not have put on 16lbs again...
