30 WEEKS! WOW!!!!!!!! 10 more to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe how fast the time has gone. It all seems like we were just getting to know one another and fighting through hovering over the toilet!

I hope your GD test comes through ok. I know there are several of you going through and waiting on the results of your 3 hour. Good luck to all of you! And if you get bad news, I think Snow has you covered on how to eat right!

Blossom I'm really sorry about your house. I know that has to be so frustrating. Maybe they will drop the price or have the issues fixed and it will all work out. If not, it is like LittleJ said everything happens for a reason. Try and stay positive!

Betheney hope you are still doing well. I hope your bp is settling itself out.

Ok girls, hope I caught up to everything! I'm doing some cleaning today. Will check in with you all later.

This thread simply moves too fast to keep up with everyone!

I ordered two books:
Ina May's Guide to Childbirth
In May's Guide to Breastfeeding

I am sure I will devour them when they come and can let those of you who haven't read them know what I think.

Excellent books, Ditty! Good choices!

To all of those ladies having physical troubles: Hang in there! I suspect most of us will be more and more miserable in the coming weeks!

I CANNOT believe we have a group member with 9 weeks to go!!! AHHHHHHHHHH!!! I don't think we'll have our first early bean until after Thanksgiving (which is the end of November in the US). That's my prediction - so all you girls bake those babies long enough, okay?

I know, it's crazy right? I agree with you about our early bean, end of Nov. early Dec. is my guess.

Good morning! Any of you ladies having issues with dizzy spells? I had such a bad time with it last night. I drink lots of water, wonder why it's happening.

Good morning, my lovely bump buddy! I have dizzy spells from time to time. It's mostly when I don't drink enough and get to hot (shouldn't be a problem with winter rolling in) , or if I don't eat when I should (low blood sugar, which I have problems with when I am not pregnant) or it could be low iron (anemia).

I usually start feeling better after eating a piece of fruit and drinking a ton of water. If I don't, I lay down for a few minutes if I can or just sit with Rayven taking it easy. I hope you feel better today, hun.

Jaime- I love your little boy's name! So cute!

Hi! Yeah, they checked my blood thursday too and said I didn't have anemia, and I got them after dinner last night. I wasn't really hot, AC was going and I drink a lot of water. They got really bad to where if my eyes moved quickly I would get dizzy LOL I'm better though!

Hmm, I get that way too sometimes after I eat. It might just be because is getting bigger and we are getting dehydrated faster? Because that's what it sounds like if it's not any of the aforementioned things. I am glad you are feeling better today and hope you go without anymore dizzy spells!!

Deedee I get the same where I'm hOt and light headed. I find that I'm dehydrating faster than before now that he's bigger so I think that's the culprit.

Jersey and PA girls... Anyone else watching the weather? Looks like its going to be an interesting week next week!! Hope everyone stays safe and dry!!!

Yes! Poor trick or treaters!!!

Well see, after I felt that way I drank around 3 of my 16 onz cups of water. I seriously doubt it water. I think it's just him growing and moving a lot more. We will see how it all goes on. Thanks.

Here's hoping it goes out to sea. I really am not feeling like dealing with a hurricane/tropical storm! Thankfully my shower is not this weekend. Yikes.

I do and I think it has to do with low iron. When did ur dr last test ur iron levels?

I'm in Southeast Florida so we're getting the start of it now. They've closed the schools and the rain and wind have started and expecting flooding. Fun stuff! As long as I don't lose power I'll be good.

Well that's good. Only other thing I can think of maybe a blood pressure issue. Standing up to quick or something? Hope it doesn't last.

 

[snowangel187]

Yes! Hubby and I thought about that, wishing we had a way to figure what my BP was. Thanks!

 

[snowangel187]

They will check your blood pressure at the fire station or ur drs office without charging you. More accurate then the machines at Walmart or CVS etc.

Yeah, that probably has something to do with it. Just try to take it a little easier, don't stand up or bend down too quick and just keep drinking plenty of water. Lovely reminder, btw!

AJ- How are you doing, hun? Has the bad weather passed?

 

[DeedeeBeester]

They will check your blood pressure at the fire station or ur drs office without charging you. More accurate then the machines at Walmart or CVS etc.

I think I rather go to the Fire Station haha They do take it every time I go to drs, but It's further away. I have a walgreens super close. But im better.

 

[BlossomJ]

Little J, La Mere, Sassy - thank you girls

I'm sure we'll find somewhere that's perfect for us There's just not that much on the market so it's frustrating. It'll also be the second purchase that's fallen through, as we found a great place earlier in the year, had an offer accepted & then four months on the owners decided they didn't want to move! Grrrr!

I'm sure you're right though

 

[La Mere]

You're welcome, Blossom. I'm sure you will find some place you love even more. It will a work out for the best.

 

[sassy_mom]

Hang in there Blossom!! There must be something extra perfect waiting for you.

I was feeling so "go get 'em" this morning and that went right down the drain! Blah! I feel so .... well blah. I did get up and do dishes and wipe down the kitchen but that took me all day to get around to doing. Guessing Chloe is draining me today. I have no interest in anything at all. I just want to sit. Not even really to sleep. Just sit and relax. DH would tell me to do that and he would probably pick me up and set me in the chair. I really hate days like this. I feel so useless. Stupid hormones and tiredness. I had a moment earlier where I was going to ask DH if he thought I was still a good mom ?!?!?!?!?!?! I feel that on my tired days, DD gets less of me and I am just not use to that. I had to snap myself out of those thoughts and realize I am just super tired.
I was also sitting in Chloe's room earlier and got REALLY overwhelmed ... looking at all the baby stuff was just a serious reality check.

I actually feel better "talking" about it to you girls!

Sassy - I am going through a similar set of emotions right now. Not the same, but similar.

I have been working very part time the past 2 months now that people need less relief work because summer vacation season is over. I have had feelings of inadequacy because I am not a SAHM nor am I bringing in an income. I feel like I have to get lots of things done while I am home to make my time worthwhile but tired days definitely throw a wrench in that system.

When I am tired, I feel absolutely useless and like I am not pulling my weight. I have to remind myself I am 7 months pregnant. Thankfully, DH is amazing. He wants me to rest and told me if I don't work another day until long after baby comes he is totally okay with it. He even told me to slow down. He's so fabulous and I truly could not have done better than him.
