January Jelly Beans 2014!

[vtjess423]

Happy 33 weeks, Del! I hope you have a good time at the Christmas market tomorrow!

My little guy doesn't get the hiccups all that much or if he does, I don't feel it. I don't remember my older son getting them all that much either. So maybe it's just me! LOL But I wasn't aware of that you should be concerned if they go on for too long though. That's good to know.

I've been getting some bad heartburn today, which is unusual for me. And unfortunately I have nothing here at work to help. I keep meaning to bring some Tums from home but keep forgetting! Hopefully it'll go away on it's own.

I have my next OB appointment tomorrow so I'll see if they do my group b strep or if it's the next appointment. I'm not concerned about it but I wish I knew for sure if I was getting it! I'd like to be prepared. Oh well. Afterwards Im going to go do some Christmas shopping with my mom and then later we are going to take my son to get his pictures taken. My hubby and I have been talking about getting them done since his 2nd birthday but have never gotten around to it. So when my mom offered to pay for them....I took her up on the offer. We are going to try to get a mix of Christmas and non-Christmas ones if possible.

The weather here has been strange. It's foggy and warmer today. It's supposed to get up to like 65F or so today....and then tomorrow the temps start to drop again with us have the possibility of snow/sleet on Sunday. I'm really not a fan of these fluctuating temperatures!

Jess -The nurses were saying it was -8F this morning but it's not snowing anymore and the sun is out.

Hope you have fun shopping tom hope the heartburn goes away soon

 

[Acorn]

Ha ha Jess, I would totally take fluctuating temps over the single and negative digits we have been having. If my family were not in the midwest, I'd so be out of here!

 

[vtjess423]

Brrr...-8F! That's cold, Lucy! I hope they keep that hospital warm. Yeah I don't know if I'd be OK with it being that cold...but that's good the sun's out. Maybe it'll warm things up a bit for you. I'm not a huge fan of the cold....but I think this up and down weather is worse. I'd rather the temperature just stay one or ther other. Of course I'd prefer the warmer weather but I'd be happy if it just stayed around 30-40 degrees. Atleast then it be easier to dress every morning! LOL I do like snow though and would be happy if we got at least one good storm where it at least covered the ground (as long as it doesn't happen when I go into labor ). But with the way the weather is here, it's hard to know if we'll get much of anything all winter.

I googled it yesterday as he had 4 bouts of hiccups yesterday apparently it is all perfectly normal unless they last too long like over 10 mins & then could be a sign of cord compression so now i know to keep an eye out on how long they last but i am still going to bring it up to be safe

Thanks for the info . I'll definitely keep an eye on how long these episodes last

 

[melann13]

My LO would get hiccups a couple times a day for awhile, but since hitting 34 weeks she hasn't had them nearly as much. I don't think she's had them for a few days. Maybe her lungs got the workout they needed and now she's done

 

[lindsayms05]

How are things going, Lucy? I've been wondering about you!

As far as the weather, holy moly! We don't have it that bad, but it's definitely doing crazy things right now. I'm in Ohio and it's 70 degrees right now and pouring. I think we're supposed to get 3+ inches of rain in the next 24 hours which could mean some serious flooding. I'm not going to lie...I have parent teacher conferences tonight which means I have to stay an extra 3 hours, so I wouldn't be completely against a flood day tomorrow...lol!

Btw, I just noticed my ticker says only 39 days to go. Holy crap.

 

[Lucy529]

Jess my hubby said it was colder up in Aspen I had the nurses turn the fan on and lower the temp bc I was hot LOL that helped me sleeping a few hours but not many

Lindsay thanks, I like snow but only on Xmas then I'm over it I think 60-70F is a good nice temp I hate being hot I like a happy medium, hope there's not to much flooding with the rain but that you get a day off tom

We're still just waiting and seeing what happens, my BP keeps going up and down so keeping an eye that haven't talked to the specialist yet so I guess we'll see what he says. But I did take a shower and feel tons better

 

[despttc]

Lucy,glad to hear you're feeling better

My ticker too says 39more days to go.
Thinking of the times when I posted about my V-day and the 2digit countdown. Those days feel so distant

Bubba'll be here in no time

 

[Lucy529]

Desp I still remember seeing those two lines and thinking it wasn't real and now here we are so close to meeting our los time has flown even though I moaned it was taking forever lol

 

[despttc]

My first positive pregnancy test showed only a faint 2nd line. DH asked me not to get too excited about it because both of us were unsure.

And.. Here we are..

 

[Lucy529]

Oh yeah mine was super faint I kept asking my hubby if he saw something LOL he kept telling me to relax but since I had read so much about evapts I was convinced that's what it was he still gets that amazed look when he sees Ivan moving and when he feels him he gets all excited but he doesn't like it when I say it seems like an alien moving

 

[horseypants]

Gah, I hope I'm not getting a cold. Sore throat tonight. . I haven't had one in ages and I've been so careful!! People with colds, stop going to work stay home arghrrrrrrrr!

 

[Lucy529]

:wave: horsey you tell em Hun i don't have a cold yet but I've been with a stuffy nose for ages hope it's a one off for you and nothing serious

 

[melann13]

Those who pray, say a quick little prayer for me today. LO is great, but I have my preliminary proposal defense for my PhD today. This is not the final defense/graduation, but I will be presenting my work to my committee and asking for their permission to do one more study and then be done. They will be grilling me about any and all details of my past and future work and the literature that supports it. This is my 3rd of 4 committee meetings on the road to a PhD in Behavioral Neuroscience! Hoping to graduate in about a year (maybe a little more depending on what they approve!)

 

[mommytobe11]

Wow Melann! That sounds kind of scary and a lot of pressure! Good luck! You'll do great!

 

[Lucy529]

Melann good luck Hun you'll do great

 

[Twag]

Good luck Melann

Eugh I just sat my final exam horrible pretty sure I will be resitting that come June but at least Elliot stayed off my bladder for the 3.5 hours and didn't beat me up too much

Now to concentrate on Christmas and the arrival of my baby boy

 

[Lucy529]

Twang good luck glad Elliot cooperated for ya

 

[goldstns]

Question: When does the doc start checking dilation? Like how many weeks is normal?
