January Jellybeans 2013!...

[La Mere]

Ducky- Awesome news about bf and so glad your boys are loving their little brother! Hope you can get your schedule worked out! Congrats again!!

CharlieO- Glad to hear your BP has come down a bit, hope it continues to level out!!

DeeDee- I feel you with the tingling/numbness in the hands. Thankfully it is at it's worse in the morning!

Jaime- Happy 38 weeks! I can't believe how close you are! Anytime now!!

Snow- OMG, your schedule made me soooo sleepy just reading it! I'm with Sassy, I need to take a nap now.

Sassy- Happy 37 weeks!!

Darkstar- I love that... I could have used that with my DD as I was 41+1 when I delivered.

I'm sure I missed a few of you girls, and I apologize! Happy 37 weeks and being full term to the other ladies who have hit the mark!

I've been sleeping terribly the past few nights. The first bad night was... well embarrassing. (if you want to know how, you can read it in my journal ) Then night before last I was up with the heartburn from HELL!!! It's the first time I can remember my papaya tablets not working. And then last night, I was tossing and turning with a terrible toothache!! When it rains, it pours!! I've found a few natural remedies that I am going to try.. they don't taste the best but at least I don't have to swallow them!!! But on a happy note: I'll be 36 weeks tomorrow!! Goodbye, little coconut! Hello there, honeydew!!!

Hope everyone who has felt crappy is feeling better now! And to those who have been feeling good, hope it stays that way! Much love to all my lovely ladies!!!

Finally managed to get some shaving done! we'll actually i got DH to do it, so I should be ok until after baby gets here and I can do it myself again.

Sassy I think you mentioned about the change in discharge, *TMI ALERT* I wiped last night and noticed some pink, and there is quite a bit more discharge now than previously so maybe something is happening? Who knows, we'll see.

 

[sassy_mom]

I shaved last night and once again cut myself enough to make it bleed. This time I cut it twice. I didn't even know I did it this time except I got out to pee and I nearly freaked out because I thought I was bleeding ... which I was but only from cutting my skin.

 

[La Mere]

I need to have hubby do my waxing for me. I love waxing because I can't cut myself

 

[sassy_mom]

Any thoughts on how to get some energy?? I'm fighting sleep so bad. I can't sleep right now as DH is still asleep and I hate falling asleep while DD is up. I'm afraid something might happen because I'm not paying attention. Something has to give though! My muscles are aching because I'm so tired. That only happens when I really need sleep. Any good stretches you ladies know of that might help circulate some blood flow or get me back up and moving? I slept fine last night so I don't know where this is coming from.

 

[Nikkilewis14]

just had my nst and had 12 contractions in 20 minutes!??! so they were concerned and made me have an internal exam just to make sure i wasnt dilated.. and I wasnt, but good news, my cervix is thinning and baby has moved down a bit! It really explains all the back and hip pain ive been getting though.. makes me feel not so crazy in the head!!

 

[brieri1]

I don't think I've shaved my legs in like a month. I keep meaning too, but its just so much work to get around my belly and do it. I'd like to have them shaved when I'm in labor, though, so I don't think about needed to shave them for awhile after my girl is born.

 

[JCh]

LOL, this topic makes me laugh since I was saying to DH the other day that I do a blind shave - I make sure to ONLY shave down, do a quick feel and work my way across. I actually use one of the few razors that has the little wire protectors so that helps so I don't take out huge chunks of skin.... I can manage to get my legs although a bit harder to do - managed to do it while in the bath but usually put a leg up in the shower....
I'm sure down there doesn't look too nice BUT I do not want to be a complete bush woman while delivering..... REALLY hoping my mom doesn't see or comment (she's a bit old school in thinking... EWWW)

 

[AJThomas]

Yeh I'm ready to curl up and go back to sleep too, I'm dozing off. I'm too lazy right now to even think of any helpful stretches Sassy

DH used an electric shaver, so I'm not über clean but it did a good job and no cuts or pinching. Did mu underarms too, now I can wear sleeveless stuff again

Officially full term today!! Baby is welcome to come any time he's ready now.

 

[sassy_mom]

So I just asked DH if we could move furniture around .... I was completely exhausted and now I'm rearranging my bedroom. When I was pregnant with DD, I did this. I moved furniture and went insane ... I gave birth 4 days later.

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Who is tired? I am! And this is after sleeping a 2.5 hour nap! Hahaha. I could of kept on going, but belly got hungry and I'm supposed to be on guard for the UPS man! (We got a new tablet, so I can actually have skype at the hospital)

The arrangement with hubby is to have a trimming done tonight. I guess he was nervous of doing anything else to me. As long as he leaves it even and short, I'm good. Haha. And all just because I have Drs app and strep B swap tomorrow, if not, honestly... I wouldn't even worry. Oh, and I shave my legs by sitting on the corner of the tub and putting my feet up around it. Embarrassing moment that so far only I have witnessed of myself hahahaha.

 

[JCh]

Not sure if anyone else knows this but I'm supposed to have my Group Strep B swab today BUT since I got a sinus infection I'm on antibiotics right now... Wouldn't that eliminate the need to test? Not sure if anyone might know.... I'm sure I'll find out soon enough....

 

[ARuppe716]

Deedee I have my appt and strep b tomorrow, too! Very fun... Haha!! But we have our growth scan too and I can't wait to see our little guy!!

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Yes!! And US are before drs apps, so I hope it helps take my mind off the rest. Oh, are they also doing blood work? They said this would be my last one.

 

[brieri1]

I had my strep b done last week. I'm negative. It was pretty unpleasant, but they had me do the swab myself, so shave or no shave, it didn't make a difference. And they don't do internals at my birthing center, so I just need to prepare for labor. But that's difficult because I have no idea when I'll go into labor, and I doubt I'm going to want to take care of it after the contractions have started.

My strep test really was nothing. I didn't feel the swab at all. I felt her touch me but that was it. She didn't stick it in the exit hole either so I was happy about that. They did blood work for me and said the same that this would be the last.

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Anyone else have to do their 24 hr urine?! I got my bottle to pee in today lol.. Not happy about it... Told me to bring it with me to my appointment on monday and then theyll take my blood too...meh.

Hahahahaha, exit hole! I hope they aren't sticking anything up any exit holes! Not even hubby has that privilege hahahahahaha

I haven't heard of that. Did they explain what it is or what it was for?
