I gained 50lb with my last one and only 15 so far with this one so im hoping I stretched out enough before I wont get many this time lol. I had pictures done of my son at birth 6 months and a year in his first year and I get them done every year after that plus the billiions I take myself but im only an iphone pro haha

We had photos of DD at 10 days old and I love them. Getting a shoot done this time too.

Soooo tired - sorry for the moan!! I barely sleep at night and getting up at 6.15am every day is a killer, I haven't had a lie in since DD was born which is almost 20 months ago!! How I would love a lie in where I didn't have to wake up first thing at all!

Off to dr this morning to deliver a urine sample, I got into my 32 week appointment yesterday and she asked if I had done one and i hadn't because I hadn't been asked to and didn't have the pot for it so she gave me a pot for next time but I haven't had my urine tested since I was 24 weeks and I have a history if aggressive uti's so I just took a pot and am bringing it to then this morning even though they technically haven't asked for it! You'd think they would be monitoring things a bit closer with my history but I am at the point of thinking that quite frankly neither the GP ir the MWs are remotely interested!! None of them give me more than 5 minutes and yesterday The GP said barely 2 words to me! I had to go home and read what my BP was, what the baby's position was etc because she just wrote it down and said nothing. Such rubbish care!

anyone else swollen?

my fingers and toes look like sausages! i am totally bloated. last week at the dr, i had fine blood pressure, no protein or sugar in urine, so we know i'm not pre-e. he said that some women just get swollen earlier. great!

i have a pillow propped up on a box to put my feet up at work, and i can only wear flip flops (in winter!). dr said he would bet money on the fact that i'd probably lose about 20-25 pounds before i leave the hospital, that's how much water he thinks i'm retaining.

fun times, the joys of pregnancy!!

 

[pinktiara]

Ugh im so tired of giving pee away haha every time I see the dr I do it which is now every 2 weeks and once a week at the specialist leave my pee alone lol

 

[Hann12]

Jtink i'm not swollen yet but I had 3/4 days last time at around 37 weeks that I was, it was boiling hot (baby was July). Luckily took my rings off before it got bad. If your hands are bad take your rings off because if you were to have to go to hospital and need an emergency c section they have been known to cut rings off! I'll probably take mine off at around 35 weeks just in case!

Pink - you are the opposite of me lol - can't give my pee away!!

 

[CupcakeBaby]

jtink I'm a bit swollen too. Said it to my midwife but she said it's only mild and my BP and pee are fine, so I'm just one of the swollen ones too!!

Took my rings off last weekend as they were feeling tight - I had to use oil and had a little panic moment!!!

Now I'm like a single lady! Lol.

 

[jtink28]

ha, i took my rings off weeks ago. (i don't wear any jewelry except my wedding rings)

they weren't too tight, but i figured i'd take them off before i got swollen. i told my husband that i can't wait to wear them again!!! it's been awhile!

 

[pinktiara]

Still no swelling here rings are still good I keep checking just in case haha. Had my second app with the gd specialist there clinic is every tuesday but i was just there friday dont know why they booked me in today had to wait a friggin hour there was so many people ugh. back again next tuesday hopefully my morning numbers will be better i'm sure they will be.

 

[TTCBean]

I don't notice any swelling but my wedding band is a little tight, can still take off my engagement ring though!

 

[Sass827]

Jt- I've been swelling since January! Haven't worn my rings in weeks. My fingers are red where rings would go. And the other weekend, while wearing flip flops and shopping for a bit, I literally watched my feet turn purple. Ugh.

 

[jtink28]

sass, you make me feel normal! i think we're having matching pregnancies

i totally feel like a single lady - an old lady in the bookstore kept giving me dirty looks the other day, and eventually she came up and hissed, "shame on you, having a baby out of wedlock!" and walked away.

i was stunned. what a crazy lady! and what if i wasn't married? who gives a rip? it was really weird.

 

[julesjules100]

What the hell??!?! That's bizarre! x

 

[jtink28]

it was super bizarre. i wish she hadn't walked away, i would have given her a piece of my mind!

 

[Sass827]

Haha! Crazy old bat!

 

[TTCBean]

That's insane jtink! Some people should really just mind their own business!

 

[Hann12]

Lol jtink - the older ladies are always the worst. I remember BF Annabelle in a bar when she was about 3 months old and 2 old ladies walked past, gave me a dirty look and said I was disgusting! And you couldn't see any boob or anything!

 

[Sass827]

I don't know why people think they get to be the judge?! Drives me crazy.
Happy 50 days Hann. I know you think it may be more, but I'm just loving having less than 50 days left. Seems like such a small number compared to the two hundred and something we all started with.

 

[jtink28]

i know! once the countdown gets under 50 days, it starts to seem really real. eek!

speaking of real, has anyone bought a bag to pack your hospital things in? i'm obviously bringing the diaper bag for baby's things, but what about your things?

 

[Sass827]

I'm actually going to try to start this morning. We really are twins JT! I'm thinking I can fit everything in the diaper bag. I'm just bringing clothes for me and Dylan and toiletries for me. Camera and chargers for camera and phone. What are you packing?

 

[julesjules100]

Just going to use a suitcase (want to get my pillows in there too especially as I'll be in for c 3 nights) x
