November 2013 Babies!

[missjenn]

I have my glucose tolerance test on the 28th. I believe I do 1 hour and if I fail, then I get to do the 3 hour. I really hope I pass! I can imagine not eating!

Here's my Sunday bump day photo... I'm feeling ultra big today. Waddled when we went for a walk but it was probably because I did 3 hours of yard work and cleaned the house for 4 hours! I'm whooped.

Super cute pic!!!!

 

[missjenn]

I remembered to do a picture! I didn't realize I hadn't been taking any pictures at all along the way. This one is from Saturday we had a wedding to go to. I think my husband has some from Sunday but I will have to bug him for them.

We are at 26 WEEKS! Just 98 days to go!

I have my 1 hour glucose test on Wednesday. I guess I have to read up on my instructions so I don't mess it up!

I think we have settled on Kaylee Sue. My OH's grandmother helped raise him and her name was Linda Kay. My dad is Raymond Lavern and Sue is my mother and OH mom's middle name.

I know I won't be passing on Raymond or Lavern and I feel bad because my dad got jipped with 2 girls. Lee is a shortening for Lavern so I am telling him that part is for him.

Husband likes it and I like it just not sure we are telling everyone yet. Everyone has to have an opinion!

Alchemist- That sandwich is making me hungry! How long till lunch time??

Cute pic and I love the dress!

 

[missjenn]

You ladies are making me feel like a horrible mom for not having had done my 1hr gtt lol. I know I gotta, but I'm feeling too achy. That's no excuse though. I just hate driving all the way to the hospital and wait. Bleh...

Mama - I won't know the status of my placenta until my next scan, which is in September during my 28th week. So...I don't even know if it's moved higher or still the same. Hoping it moves up high enough to avoid a c/s.

So hers my Sunday bump day pic. I did wake up felling itchy on my tummy. IM growing and stretching I guess.

lol...cute pic...the sandwich is hilarious! I am getting the tummy itch too!

great pic cowgirl

I've heard you just aren't supposed to check your cervix after your water breaks because of the chance of infection. I used to check mine every time I got out of the shower since it was my most reliable fertile sign but haven't once since my bfp.

Cowgirl- LOOOOVE the pic, you look sooooo happy

Jenn- your line about main attractions and smaller ones literally made me LOL! Thanks

Mama- Im not too worried about it being too deep I think I was just confused about what was safe, lol. I havent been able to use a vibrator since like...22 or 23 weeks, it just feels weird now, lol. But thanks for the suggestion!


Thanks for the input ladies....its not really a matter of lube thats never really been a problem, especially now, and Im not worried about going too deep...fingers, weiners...meh whatever, but had just read somewhere that checking your cervix was bad and so of course I was like...how is that any different than sex. I think I got all flustered over nothing.

Now Im going to go home and throw myself at OH since Im worry free. You guys are the best!

wantb was it you that was having a hard time finding bras? I went to try to find something cheap at Wal Mart today and they had absolutely nothing in a 34DD BUT then I was looking online and put my measurements into a bra size calculator and it said I need a 34DDD which I'm pretty sure doesn't even exist unless I pay like $50 for a bra maybe I should just get some sports bras or something....

lol @ Rockin, get em girl I'm so jealous, I haven't had sex in 6 months. I told my hubby that he better be ready cause after I have these babies, I'm going to be like a porn star

So I think in a real cervical check you actually push your finger around the cervix and up into it to see if it is open. Some people check cervical positioning and openness when trying to conceive. I think to check the opening is a definite no no because you do not want to severely disrupt the mucus plug. I think once you are pregnant, your cervix sits higher too. I would say go for some hand action. Its nice to switch it up every once in a while. Just make sure he does scrape you cervix or go too deep. It can cause irritation and make sure he washes his hands first! ALWAYS make sure he washes his hands first...even when NOT pregnant!

 

[berniegroves]

Rockin - I know you shouldn't check your cervix after your waters have broken because of infection. I've always been told that sex is perfectly safe and only to stop if there is any bleeding.
My DH hasn't had any for six months now!! My morning sickness was so bad there was no way anything was going to happen. My sex drive has disappeared totally and combined with it being so hot here he just hasn't stood a chance. Our bedroom has been 32 degrees most nights.
Poor DH!

Lovely bump pics everyone!!

Oh and I think 27 weeks is third trimester!!! Exciting!!!

 

[The Alchemist]

Oh man...I think since we found out we're pregnant, we've only done the shbang just twice. But fortunately, he doesn't bug me about it.

These days, we sleep in separate rooms because he's got lower back problems plus allergies. He can't sleep in our bedroom on our king matress,,it's not firm enough for him. So he's been sleeping in the baby's room. And it might be this way for a while. When baby #2 comes along, I will have to sleep in the baby's room while dd sleeps with daddy. And if we want to have sex, we gotta take it out in the living room lol.

 

[Co_Cowgirl]

I am glad I am not the only one who had their sex drive dive! Everyone said that pregnancy sex is suppose to be great but since I have gotten pregnant I have no sex drive at all! Poor DH!

I was just happy that I didn't have to go dress shopping the day of the wedding. My husband was the officiate and I hadn't thought about that I was going to need a dress. Nothing was fitting and then I found that dress in the back of my closet!

24wk1d bump pic I took today in the bathroom at work

 

[wantb502]

Phew! I'm glad I'm not the only one too!
We still DTD about once a week, but it's not me initiating. I'd rather sleep! I was a hornball before I got pregnant and wanted like 1-2 a day, but the drive has crashed and burned. I feel awkward and big and tired especially after working long days. I know he's been barking up this tree for a couple of days now... He may get lucky

 

[The Alchemist]

Holy moly. I have major sweet tooth 10 o clock at night so I made brownie in a mug. I need help, ha!

 

[mama.luv]

lol, I was bad earlier and had a chocolate donut at work. It's almost midnight and I had the munchies so I ate some greek yogurt

 

[The Alchemist]

Mama - at least that is low calorie and healthful. I ate again after that brownie. I had soup. My cravings and appetite has totally changed drastically. I have a whole watermelon I haven't bothered to eat. That was what I used to crave. Now, it's just sitting beside the fridge all lonely while I cheat on it with brownies and other bad sweets lmao

 

[missjenn]

So excited to be here today!!!

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

Miss Jenn- YOU ARE ADORABLE!!!! You look so happy! 7 months, sooooo exciting. One more week for me

Mama- GORGEOUS! You look fantastic!

Thanks for all the sex advice ladies! My sex drive was nonexistent until about 18 weeks, ever since then....i cannot get enough. OH this weekend was like....hon, I love you, but I cant go that many times in one day, lol...whoops I feel like a teenage boy. Im just going to enjoy it while it lasts because Im sure once the baby gets here, it will be gone again.

So 27 weeks today, 3rd tri!!!! Ill post my bump tonight. Im starting to get nervous!!!

 

[missjenn]

Thanks lady!

Happy third trimester!!! Can't wait to see your first bump pic!

 

[The Alchemist]

Missjenn - you always look so beaming happy and down right gorgeous in your pics!

Rockin - man I wish my sex drive was like a teenage boy! Cuz at this point, I'm feeling so bad for OH. And he probably won't get some lovin after the baby gets here either. Last pregnancy, we tried having sex 4 weeks pp, but it hurt sooo bad. Felt like there was a cut inside my vaginal canal. Come to find, we weren't able to do it until 3rd month post partum. I'm just happy he's not pushy at all and is very understanding about my pregnancy.

I'm not sure what I will do today. I did plan from last night to go grocery shopping, but I kinda woke up feeling lazy. I really want to do online shopping though for some baby things. And myself too. Oh, I got me those raspberry leaf tea. I noticed after drinking (just a cup a day), I get bh a lot. So I guess it does work. I think I'll increase to 2cups a day at 8 months and then 3 by 9 months.
