Oh ok! I think I would forget! I'd have to leave it sitting on the toilet just so I could remember. I hope it was a big bottle! I know I pee entirely too much in 24 hours. hahaha!

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Its pretty big but u have to keep it in the fridge!!( gross lol)

This dog is on my last nerve to the point he makes me cry he frustrates me so much then dh gets mad I'm frustrated grrrrr maybe it's me or hormones but I'm just fed up want to hide under a Rock

 

[ARuppe716]

They didn't say anything about bloodwork for tomorrow...she just mentioned the strep b and she only said vaginal swab so I'm hoping I luck out and don't have any backdoor inspections...

 

[darkstar]

I'm lucky with my strep b. The midwife showed me the equipment used for it, basically she gives me a little wrapped packet when I see her on Thursday. I swap my foof and butt at home with it quickly then seal it in his tube (the swab is on a stick that gets inserted into the tube and seals up) and then I go for some blood tests on Friday and hand in the tube to be tested.

Nikki
Is it bad for sugars to be under 4.0

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Well mine has gone way below a 4.0 before, but it is considered a low blood sugar below 4.0. ..its no concern to baby since baby takes what he needs from u, but its more of a pain in the ass for you. U def want to have a 15 carb snack to bring it up...id retest just to make sure your machine isnt faulty tho.

 

[Kaiecee]

Well I just ate so ill retest soon cuz I've never had it that low it was 3.7 and I ate a chocolate pudding about 2 hours before I tested

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Yea it happens at least once a day for me lol... Just an excuse to eat a little snack! Lol

 

[darkstar]

I think this baby is lying transverse now.. it feels like his body is laying right across me and OH said the same thing too when he felt it without me even saying anything. Its so tight across my ribs when I sit upright I feel like I can't breathe sometimes, I'm always puffing.

It's weird to be this far along and not have a baby in my pelvis, I only get the little feet kicks to my cervix which are ouchie. My last two babies had turned and dropped way before now so this pregnancy feels much different.

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Dark, was baby breech( i assume this bc u said ur getting kicks to the cervix) ?Baby may be turning head down now... If u think things have shifted..possibly?

 

[Kaiecee]

I'm so sore all the time belly seems to b always hard I'm so uncomfortable blah

 

[DeedeeBeester]

AFM Randomness: I texted hubby I didn't know what to make for dinner and that I wasn't sure I wanted to make any to begin with LOL I feel tired and just overall... lazy? LOL Well, he didn't get the hint and now I have to figure out what to make because he said he wanted me to make something with rice! I always burn rice! Hahaha, I guess I'll just make a big ass casserole with rice, broccoli and cheese and not worry about meat. Hahaha. Ugh.

Boo for him not taking a hint. lol! That sounds like a yummy option though! I don't want to cook at all but someone has to feed these people! I'm making Tilapia, rice, and green bean casserole.

Yes my midwife told me on Monday he's breech (after he was head down and engaging at 33 weeks ). I can feel the outline of his body across my belly so I think he's moved to a transverse position or moves between breech and transverse (but not head down unfortunately!)

I have an ultrasound on Christmas Eve and then we see an OB and schedule a c-section if he hasn't flipped.

I don't get the kicks you would usually experience when baby is head down. I get small hand punches in my upper abdomen, some rolling movements of his body near my belly button and foot kicks way out to the side parallel to my belly button or down in my cervix and bladder depending which way his legs are pointing, and a big old head stuck under my ribs which makes sitting upright really uncomfortable because it feels like I'm squishing his head with my ribs.

My midwife told me baby was still breech on tues. had a scan today and turns out it was babies bum not head that keeps sticking into my ribs. Sonogropher said midwives often get the head and bum mixed up at this stage. Heads also engaged but it doesn't feel like that at all. It feels like baby is still way up high as I can't even sit properly without feeling like I'm squishing sonething

Oh that sounds good! I have tilapia, but sadly I'm the only one here that likes it. Hubby doesn't, thanks to MIL...

So I rearranged my bedroom; Moved a bunch of furniture around; and situated some more baby stuff. I put diapers and wipes in our bedroom in the bassinet bottom in preparation for baby. I also told DH I was going to put Chloe's car seat in the car. I said we have 3 weeks so we might as well get use to having it in there. I'm running out of steam but still have tons I want to do so I'm taking short breaks and pushing on. Not sure where this energy came from as I was dragging so bad this morning.
