Now that ditty has been outed for her profession... What does everyone else do? I know some of us have mentioned from time to time but thought it would be fun to see the variety on our board!
After 10 years of teaching dance I am now the administrative assistant for the divisional office of a popular grocery store company here on the east coast. Who else wants to share?
I started working a retail job right out of high school, planned on "taking a year off" then going to college. Met dh before that year was up and he had me quit. I did nanny for dh's best friend for almost 5 years up until the day before I gave birth. And have been home ever since. Dh had his mom at home all the time growing up and that's what he wants for our children. Tho at times it can be overwhelming I'm very thankful that I'm able to stay at home.
On an exciting note, I painted my toenails this morning all by myself!
Congratulations! I hate putting on shoes and socks!
Two words, flip flops.
I too just accomplished painting my toenails.
I think that may be the last time I'm capable of that, I may have to hire it out if I need to do it again before delivery.
I've had an increase in cm in the past week or two. Its annoying
I don't remember losing my mucus plug with my DD either, Sassy.
I've had an increase in cm as well and I'm constantly checking to see if my fluid is leaking.
as for the plug, I remember losing parts of mine starting at 38 weeks to me it looked like a chunk of snot.
and the most annoying part was I thought labor was on its way, but ended up being induced 2 weeks after. BUT, I was two centimeters dilated before they started the induction.
I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing nausea all of a sudden. I haven't been nauseous since first tri, now it's been hitting me throughout the day and at night. I can't be sure if it's my medication that's causing it or not, though...
I thought if anyone else was experiencing it, it might be a normal thing?
Um. Yea. This girl! I have been sick for the last week, it kind of makes me feel like labor is coming soon. Tonight I'm fighting ridiculous heartburn, I know I'll be throwing up.
This is all becoming very real to me, also!! We are finally getting settled at our new home and I was orgainzing and putting away baby's clothes. I've been so blessed to receive tons of nice hand me downs from my sisters and best friend, who have had daughters in the past couple years. Some of them still have the tags on them! Baby girl is set for clothes for at least a year and a half!!
I think most of you know this, but I'm a labor and delivery nurse. I miss it and most of my coworkers so much already.
You'll be back in L&D before you know it, just not working!
Curious as to your plans for childbirth? Natural, epidural, etc? Will you let yourself be induced?
I'm having a scheduled c section on 12/12 which is 37 weeks because of the cholestasis. The risk of stillbirth goes up after that. I had two previous c sections and most ob's around here won't do a VBAC after two. Which is fine with me. I've had a patient's uterus rupture and it was not something I want to do again, especially with me as the patient!
The ladies at my church are throwing me a little shower this Saturday. I'm pretty excited for the human interaction I don't even care about presents.
If I could pick a day to deliver it'd be 12/12/12, but dr says 39weeks is the earliest he can deliver unless medically necessary which is 12/25 (he'd do it on 26th tho) but he said depending on how my appts go he may do it at 38weeks. Which puts me at 12/18 if that's the case tho I'm going to see if he'll do it 12-21-12 just so baby at least has a cool bday. Since Shea's stuck being delivered so close to Christmas.
Something weird is happening. I'm getting period like cramps. Some strong, some not so much. They come along with hot flashes that I feel up to my hair hahaha. Just weird.
Does your belly get tight with them? Lay on ur left side and drink a bunch of water, if it doesn't stop or gets more frequent/painful call the dr.
Ducky- you look fabulous!
Thank you!
I wish I could take one of myself with my whole self in it!
I'm really bad at the in-the-mirror ones and DH isn't home.
I get my 4 year old to take the full body shots.
