[The Alchemist]

Its actually not a maternity dress and I picked it up at Ross for $15!!! Its an ok length now (Ive got issues with anything above my knees, no one needs to see that mess, lol) but I think in the next few weeks it might end up being too short and Ill have to get a maternity dress. I do like them though.


Everyones got such adorable bumps I love seeing how different everyone is.
Want-my stomachs too big to notice that now, but around 13 or 14 weeks I was lopsided like that, I LOVED it You look fantastic

Thanks everyone for all your bumps, made my day.

AFM-not much going on, short week here in the US for the 4th, so lots of outside time which is nice. Im still hungry ALL the time, but I bough tons of fruits and veggies to bring to work with me and Ive kept my weight steady since my last appt 2 weeks ago, Im pretty happy about that. We sent out shower invites for our out of town baby shower, its in August, Im getting kind of excited
How was everyones weekend?

I dunno where my head's been. I thought Saturday was Sunday. And yesterday was Monday. I haven't had the greatest sleep. Well, lo hadn't which affects me too. She's been waking up many times in the night over the sound of our new upstairs neighbors. Not sure what they could be doingso damn late at night. I wanted to go outside and throw a rock at their window and tell them to tone it down. Plus, move in day is always on the first, how were they able to move in early? Our manager wouldn't even let us do that, so I'm going to have a word with the mgr today. Other than that, its been so cruel outside. Over 100 degrees F in southern California. Typically, I can take the heat but not when pregnant. We get sweaty more than usual. In order to prevent yeast infection from sweating, I just expose my pregnant vagina in the house, airing it out. Can't tell you how much liberty and freedom that actually feels and is. Lol

Hahha! I love this because I've been walkin around in my underwear all over the house and outside on our patio. I live in a house with a LOT of windows and on a VERy busy intersection. Luckily, it's cooled down a bit here the last couple of days, but I have zero tolerance for te heat right now and I'm usually always cold!

Maybe a noise maker for your LO would help drown out the noise. DH and I use one every night to drown out the traffic from our intersection and I'll probably get one for baby Harris. It's very soothing

You all are adorable pregnant women, lol. Very cute bumps. Want yours is so funny cuz you are so fit you can see exactly where your little baby is already. I think that is awesome.

My weekend was pretty fun. We told OH's parents by giving his dad a card and his mom a present to open at the same time and she opened it up to blue baby booties and she just looked at me all teary eyed and OH's dad just laughed and smiled a little. It was a great moment. Now we get to start clearing out the third bedroom to turn it into the nursery. We live with OH's parents to pay their mortgage for them (just so you know that situation). I've picked my crib and theme. I am going to let OH decorate the room how he wants though. It's all getting very real.

Alchemist - I am so sorry to hear about what's going on...I know how it feels. It's truly CRAZY to me that things I never cared about are all of a sudden pissing me off! My husband takes the brunt of it and says in a soft voice, "You are getting aggressive today." Poor guy!

 

[The Alchemist]

Want - yeah, we usually turn on the air purifier. Its constant white noise and she's always been that kid that only sleeps through done kinda white noise. It was the thumps andbumps from above that would wake her up. I hope the neighbors above get settled quickly!

Therealdalia - my OH has been working his graveyard shifts these post two nights so wasn't home to help me with lo at night. But usually I don't need or want him to help me actually. He's a naturally loud person. Even his farts would wake lo up. Its a loud and sometimes continuous, loud duck quack. It wakes me up too if he does it in the middle of the night, and then I kick his ass literally.

I dunno about you ladies! But I have major pregnancy brain today. I was suppose to go to the store to get a few groceries and most importantly, toilet paper. I went and left without toilet. I'm home now and really don't want to go back out in the heat again.

 

[wantb502]

Hahhahaha! Alchemist... That is hilarious!

 

[luna_19]

I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling sweaty all the time! It's hot for here right now (around 30c) which I do love but I constantly feel all sticky and gross. Also I did a lot of walking yesterday and the insides of my thighs got all raw from rubbing together that's never happened to me before (although I have a friend that told me ages ago that's why she never wears short shorts or skirts )

I have major pregnancy brain, I was at the mall doing some shopping the other day and completely forgot to make one stop that I was planning to make until I got home

 

[berniegroves]

Hi ladies,
Wow!!! So many boys!!!
Congrats to everyone who had scans. So exciting.

Rockin - you asked about suggestions for sleeping etc. in my last pregnancy I was so uncomfortable at night. What I ended up doing was folding a double quilt in half and lying on top of it to give my hips some padding. Then I put two pillows between my legs (lengthwise from ankle to knee) and then I had a rolled up towel to support my bump.
It was quite the production but it really helped! I tried the pregnancy pillows but hated them!!

I am so glad I am not the only one dying in the heat right now. Were around 98 right now which is a little crazy for Washington, at least my part of Washington. Not to mention its humid, urg. I walk around mostly naked at home because anything else and I end up all sticky and gross. At work its unbearable, I feel so bad for anyone even close to me at that point. I never did well with hot weather before, now its even worse. Not to mention being a redhead with fair skin, I have to slather 2lbs of sun screen all over me. I like fall, I am so happy that at my largest It will be fall weather!

And I totally get the pregnancy brain, I forget stuff all the time. I kept calling the doula a midwife and she kept thinking that I had no idea what a doula was because of it.

But all that being said I have less then three days now before my scan and I am off the walls, crazy excited! I just wish we new where we would be when this baby is born, so I could worry about cleaning and decorating the nursery.

 

[mama.luv]

I sweat all of time, mostly on my inner thighs. Since I sweat a lot, I get so paranoid, I never know if I'm leaking fluid so I put tissue on my undies just to make sure. If my son wasn't home most of time, I would walk around naked too. It's just too hot out here in Cali these days.

 

[mama.luv]

I have been so busy, so I just got around to see your bump pics. All of you guys look nice. I can't believe some of you are actually seeing the baby ball up on one side already, I'm sooo jealous. I can't wait to get to that.

 

[mama.luv]

And you guys have pretty dresses. I really need to find me a maxi dress to wear on the 4th, but all the ones I find are see thru. Do you guys have that problem with the dresses? Or maybe I'm looking at cheap dresses..lol

 

[The Alchemist]

I haven't seen the one sided ball up but I've felt it. I'll probably see it later.

Today my doctor called about the anatomy scan result. Everything looks good with baby. However, the doctor diagnosed me with partial placenta previa. It's not covering the cervix, says it's 1.5cm above it. He said there shouldn't be anything to worry over but he scheduled an ultrasound at 21 weeks to check if it move up or not.

I'm afraid it wouldn't. Or worse, if it does move up still, I might end up with a c section.

 

[The Alchemist]

Yeah I wished I knew how to use the sewing machine because I'd love to make my own dresses and for my dd too. You know what she did today, this just crossed my mind. She faked cried for like 2 minutes after I had told her "no climbing up chair". She faked the cry, and I ignored her completely because I know it's so fake. Then she paused, I looked at her, and she goes "hi". Lol....what a weirdo.

 

[mama.luv]

Looks like we will be getting another ultrasound around the same time. I go on July 19th. I've never heard of placenta previa. I have to look that up. I'm learning so many new things this pregnancy.


Your little one is too cute..lol. You have to video tape her and make her a you-tube sensation
