Brai I WISH there was a place in our town that delivered groceries! I'd be more than willing to pay them!

 

[Tanikit]

Melissa it probably is pre labour signs - don't remember having so many so early with DD either though. Hope your day goes well.

Brai would also love to have groceries delivered as I am not managing much right now.

Its 12:45 and I am still unable to sleep. Have definitely picked up DHs cold now and hope it will be gone before the baby arrives - may try and get some meds for it tomorrow that are safe as this with the pain I have had today probably deserves some pain killers - maybe. Am wondering if I am changing from night to day sleep now - baby certainly prefers the night - mmm, now just to change my DDs sleep too so we can all function (Ok that isn't going to happen) DH however is up most nights too.

I think I am getting a sinus infection....I feel like crap. And to add to that my DD has been having issues since this morning. She woke up saying her legs hurt and was crawling around the house. I thought she just had leg cramps or growing pains, but she is still having trouble walking. She is walking around on her tippy toes. The doctor said she needs to be seen, so I am taking her to urgent care in a minute. I so dont want to go sit in another hospital/doctor office. But I need to know its not something serious. Anyone else ever had this happen to one of their kids?

 

[blessedmomma]

my day has been ok tanikit. as well as expected almost 9 months pregnant right, lol??? hope you have a better one tomorrow!

i would love to have groceries delivered too... i have the next best thing though. my DH has went to get our groceries for at least 3 years now. he is quite a pro about it these days.

never had anything like that brai but doesnt sound good. i would take mine in if they were doing that. hope its nothing too serious!

brai, hope your DD is okay--probably best to get it checked out for sure.

just took dog on walk with DH and we walked to the grocery store and got stuff so he can make this really yummy chocolate cake with blueberries in it (cherries are best but the store is out of cherries). he's gonna make it for the super bowl party we are having. i've got to make enchiladas for that day too. took me forever to walk home from work today--i was just so tired...but feeling better now that it's the weekend...i love the weekends! rest time and another week done at work! YAY! countdown to 5 months off is getting smaller and smaller not feeling too bad physically--just tired...

tonight out to dinner to a new restaurant with DH and his coworkers. they said it was okay if i came along so i'm gonna DH going out into the woods tomorrow for man day and i'm gonna stay home and rest and clean up a bit, possibly run some errands. i'm pretty well wearing the same pair of jeans to work 3-4 times a week--i have other maternity pants but the low waisted ones are no longer comfortable...i need the over belly panel as the low waist line baby just punches at it all day--think it cuts right across her when i'm sitting at my desk. i am hoping something on sale and cheap so i can buy another pair of jeans....or i'll just keep wearing the same pair

 

[blessedmomma]

we are having a super bowl party also membas. who are you going for?

im exactly opposite on the pants. the higher it is the more he kicks at it. my belly is very itchy too lately so even my shirt bugs it sometimes. i have to wear drawstring pants loosely under my tummy to be comfortable.

 

[membas#1]

yeah, if i could wear my comfy at home pants to work, i'd be set, as i have at least 3-4 pair of those but not exactly work appropriate...i have 2 pair of pants that i really like but this week they really started not being comfy with the lower waist--have also been feeling more pressure lower in general so that makes sense that the pants would be bothersome there.

i don't really follow football--just like to have the superbowl party but i'll root for the packers just because this is our 3rd year having the party i think. it's fun cuz a friend from out of town comes every year--that's really the only reason we do it. but i'm not exactly looking forward to cleaning up the house and cooking...gonna try to clean tomorrow and cook sunday morning to break it up a bit--DH can help me clean sunday too!

 

[blessedmomma]

when i was pregnant with my girls i had to have the over the tummy panel, dont remember why, just liked them better. and of course was in college at the time so had to be presentable like you at work.

i hope you dont have to do too much cleaning up and cooking all in one day! you are gonna be an exhausted momma at the end of the day! my DH is a big football fan. his team is the colts though. my family always watched the steelers when i was growing up so i guess im going for them. have heard they are probably gonna lose though, lol. like you im not a big football fan. my brother is a big steeler fan so he is coming over and some others. i decided i would put out some crackers, cheese, and summer sausage. maybe a fruit tray and a veggie tray with some ranch. thats all they are getting from me! DH likes the super bowl even if his team isnt playing. he is a huge sports fan. i told him this is really his party, so he can clean it up. he dont mind though...

 

[braijackava]

I took her in and they took some blood. She has a virus that i guess can cause really bad muscle cramps. So they said just ibuprofun and rest and she should get better on her own.

 

[blessedmomma]

that poor baby. at least you know what it is and what to do. i hope she gets better soon!

 

[braijackava]

I am getting really scared for labor and delivery! My last 2 deliveries were horrible and painful. I am afraid the same thing will happen again. Pitocin and an epidural that doesn't work!

 

[blessedmomma]

i know what you mean brai. i have had some experiences that werent so great. no turning back now!

when you have experienced labor a couple of times and it wasnt such wonderful experiences it makes it scarier i think.

 

[membas#1]

brai, glad you found out what was going on with DD--and hope she gets to feeling better soon!

i have my moments of anxiety about labor, but i have been trying to remain calm about it for the most part. told DH tonight want to get some essential oils (like lavender) to put in my room and bath during labor...something calming for me. so need to make sure that goes into the hospital bag (whenever that gets packed). we said we wanted to have bag packed, car seat in etc...all by 36 weeks, so we have 2 more weeks til those things need to really get done--gosh, going by so fast now!

blessed, have fun at your super bowl. we usually end up with way more food than we need...with my enchiladas, someone is bringing a couple pizzas, chips/dips, DH is making a great chocolate blueberry cake, and there will be muffins and other stuff---way too much. perhaps someone will bring veggies or a salad, but i doubt it. i typically do a salad for parties but as the host felt like i ought to do a main dish. there will be room for salad the next day when we need a lighter food day after feasting on sunday!

 

[Tanikit]

Brai hope your DD is better soon.

I was getting scared about labour recently especially with an induction but I am also reaching the stage where I just want her out so the fear is disappearing relatively fast (they do say fear and desire - lol or is it desperation - can counter each other)

Hope you both have fun at the super bowl parties. They sound fun!

 

[MumtoJ]

Brai -Hope DD gets better real soon.

I'm nervous about labour / birth but as this is a VBAC i'm sort of in ignorant bliss as well.

DS woke up bright and early this morning, we've been out to see a friend who is due about 2 week after me and stopped at the supermarket on the way back as a couple of things didn't come in the shopping delivery yesterday (sorry to all of those who can't get shopping deliveries - couldn't survive without mine) and get a bite to eat. I left OH & DS finishing off lunch while I grabbed the shopping came back to find DS had been sick everywhere ... had to strip him off before putting him in the car poor thing.

 

[SmileyShazza]

am on my maternity leave now - am so pleased about that!

 

[blessedmomma]

yay for maternity leave smiley!

i was woken up with really bad BH contractions last night. they settled down but i am properly losing my plug now. yay! im so excited to see things going right along!!!! i know it is only pre-labor signs, but its still so exciting for me

 

[natty1985]
