Hellobee Boards

@josina: great photos. I love the fall colors!

@whenoceansrise: potassium will help. Also trying to flex your feet back toward your nose to stretch the calf muscle will relieve the pain. The quicker you can do that stretch the better. I'm getting this pain constantly at night now when I move or stretch.

I had my weekly appt/sono this morning. K moves a bunch and doesn't really stay put for the sono. I wish they would have done a weight estimate. Hopefully next week. I got my tdap today. Next week I do my GBS and cervical check. My stress levels are through the roof, unfortunately.

@Adira: I'm sorry. It's good they caught it earlier!

@whenoceansrise: Charlie horses suck!!! Sorry you keep getting them.

I'm starting to totally freak out. I feel so unprepared. Now that MIL is here I'm hoping to get a ton done. I need to pack hospital bag, get Bs big bro gift, finish nursery. Ahhhhhh

Anyone asking for a push gift? I want a necklace with B and D's name on it. I'm also thinking about splurging on lulu lemon pants for post maternity.

@BandDmommy: I fell so unprepared as well (and you are due at least a week before me!!) I don't even have the nursery painted yet?!?!?!? (I might just hire someone- shhh don't tell DH!) What are you getting for a big bro gift? I feel like with Christmas right around the corner I want to get something nice that he will remember but don't know what! I am asking for a birthstone ring with both kids birthstone on it- DH got me a beautiful necklace for my push gift when B was born. Splurge on them!!!!

@BandDmommy: Gahh, I still have those TODOs too, PLUS I need to clean out part of the garage so I can actually get to the other side of my car when I have two car seats. AND I need to clean out part of our bedroom so we have room for the bassinet. I'm stressing!

I wasn't going to ask for a push present, but I was going to ask for baby #2's birthstone to add to my Pandora bracelet for Christmas. I also want this: http://www.amazon.com/Loving-Family-Sterling-Silver-Children/dp/B00564GXDS

@BandDmommy: Wow, your house must look amazing now! I cleaned for about 1.5 hours today and was exhausted after, so I can't imagine how you felt. Hope you got lots of rest after!

@josina: Beautiful photos! I just love the colors!

@snowjewelz: Sorry you are sick and going through so much to get your shots! I'm surprised your OB doesn't offer them. I hope you feel better soon though! At least it isn't during labor - I had a wicked cold while I labored with my first and all through the first week of her life. It was terrible!

@MamaG: Sorry you are so stressed Time is flying and I am trying hard to not freak out yet either.

@BandDmommy: I haven't asked for anything, but I know DH wants to get me something. It will probably be something more practical (like the new diaper bag I desperately need or a sewing machine), but I would also like a Pandora charm with a heart design of some kind on it to represent our heart baby. I hope having your MIL around helps you get and feel more prepared. I have a ton of things to do still too.

So I'm at my doctor's office for what I thought was just a normal visit... He's going to do the group b strep test today and I am not prepared for this! Had I known this I would have made DH help me "groom" myself. Haha! How embarrassing!!

@whenoceansrise: they've seen it all! they won't even notice.

@whenoceansrise: hahahahhaha... I'm sure they've seen it all... :). Wait till delivery.

@whenoceansrise: Ha, I was terrified at my last appointment that they'd surprise me with the test too. I am sure they have seen worse, so no reason to be embarrassed! Just imagine what happens during birth.....

@MrsScallop: I know! I better get over my embarassment now!

@josina: so cute! I keep joking that this bb is dressed up as a pumpkin for Halloween

34 weeks today!!! Just got my baby bump email, it talked about perineal massage. I have never heard of it before! Think I'm going to start taking more baths to help me relax. My sleep SUCKS lately. Hope everyone is doing well!!!!

@snowjewelz: hahahhaha I did the same thing yesterday. I completed my amazon registry. Furniture arrives today!!!

Just a word to the wise, the up and up brand diaper genie refills do not fit any of the current Diaper Genies. We stocked up on these (due to a sale plus red card plus registry discounts) only to learn the do not fit. Must return them all this weekend.

@snowjewelz: Yeah at first I was mortified, but my doctor actually make me feel very comfortable!

@BandDmommy: I feel you on the sucky sleep. So far baths haven't been able to relax me enough to actually fall asleep yet. That plus having to get up to pee all the time (and getting in and out of bed is now a job because our bed is so high) plus the leg cramps. I am so ready to have my body back! My doctor did tell me that I could take some tylenol pm or some benadryl though to help me with the leg cramps.

@whenoceansrise: Made me remember this one time, there was an intern, or new tech, she def was not experienced... She had to check my cervix and um, she couldn't find the entrance. I had to be like, "um, go lower"

@snowjewelz: bummer! Enjoy the class though!
