Hellobee Boards

@BandDmommy: I am doing the same thing! I thought the good thing about having another boy would be all the money I'd save, but I am going crazy for tiny onesies again.

@jh524: I also ugly cried when my daughter weaned, and I wasn't even pregnant at the time. As ready as I was for it to end, I was still sad that she wasn't a baby anymore. And I'm right there with you on the weight gain, luckily I haven't gotten any comments from my usually weight-strict OB. I'd probably scream.

This pregnancy is making me for real crazy. I am super irritable this time around and feel so bad for my poor husband. Hoping that it's just pregnancy + holidays + we are closing on our first home 3 days after Christmas thats turning me into a monster and it will pass after the holidays. Also, I've started getting heartburn this week that I don't remember having with my first. Can't wait to see LO again and check if she has hair! My first was a baldy until 2, so I'm anxious to see if this particular old wives tale proves true.

@MrsRoo: it's so sad! I have ugly cried the last two nights it's hurts me to have him get upset but it's time. I've dropped bedtime and so he only nurses before nap, the very last session to go, but I have no milk anymore. So he suckles for a few minutes and passes out.
When do you get to see baby again?
Oh I've been crazy lately too!! I'm afraid to admit how crazy, but let's just say my husband drives me crazy and I'm crushing on my handsome chiropractor I've lost my mind, clearly. Lol

@jh524: I'll see her again at work on Monday. Advantages of being a sonographer
I feel bad for both our husbands, for having to deal with us, but very glad that I'm not the only preggo wearing her crazy pants right now!

@jh524: I am happy to hear your lower back is feeling better! Mine wasn't as bad as yours but if have been thinking about seeing a chiropractor for the pain.

@jh524: @autumnleaves: I have no idea ladies but I marveling better thankfully. It was just so bizarre. I was at work and told two ladies "I don't know what is wrong with me" and one of them said "...you're pregnant". Lol I understand that thanks lol

@PeanutsBaby: I'm glad it seemed to help! I need to decide on something to help me whether it's yoga or chiropractor or something...anything.

You guys I am totally freaking out over here (not baby related). A girl at work has had her puppy in the office all last week and this week and I just got a call that the puppy has Parvo and is being put down. My dogs are almost 2 (1/9/16) and have their vaccines but I am still so worried. They didn't come into contact with the pup but I did and after almost 2 weeks of it they've had to been exposed repeatedly from me, right? I mean my shoes, my clothes. Ugh.

@Nibygd: thank you! One of them is small so I worry about her. She gets sick more often than the other one and just seems so fragile! But they both have been acting normal so I am hoping they'll both be ok.

@Cherrybee: I know I am so sad for the puppy

So, a few updates. First, I think we decided on Piper for her name!

Second, the puppy wasn't out down this weekend. They decided to try and fight the Parvo and so far she is doing well. Eating and drinking and becoming more energetic (or so I'm told). Just thought you ladies might want to know! (And my dogs are still OK so far).

@Cherrybee: That sucks! I told my DH he cannot have mimosas this year - we can look forward to having those together next year. I hope you get to enjoy a nice piece of meat at least.

@autumnleaves: I do too. My husband however likes the name Skylar. I think of Breaking Bad every time he says the name lol.

@JennyLayneAZ: I know I said it before, but I love Piper as a name!

@Cherrybee: I have been so jealous of people drinking. Last pregnancy I did not miss it as much. I wonder if the difference this time is having a toddler...

@PeanutsBaby: Freya is super cute. I like Skylar too, but am more partial to Freya.

@JennyLayneAZ: glad your dog and the puppy are doing ok.

@PeanutsBaby: Freya is adorable I love it. Skylar is ok but my sister had a dog with that name so that's all I can think of now!
@Cherrybee: sorry you can't have anything yummy! I am missing champagne lately (not something I drink on the regular but it must be the time of year).
@bloved: @autumnleaves: thank you!
@MaisyMay: no plans for shorter weeks just yet. We'll see what happens when it gets closer. I really need to make a full paycheck though so I will probably just work full time as long as I can.

I currently work PT from home whatever hours I want. DS is in preschool 5 days a week and DD 3 days. I'll probably aim for 20 - 30 hours a week unless I have appointments or something else comes up. I work from home so no need to reduce hours.

@MaisyMay: oh your anniversary trip sounds lovely! I'm a teacher, so no part time option for me. And since I changed districts and gave up tenure (and all my sick days) I think I will be working right up Til the very end!

@PeanutsBaby: I love the name Freya! It sounds cute and beautiful at the same time!

@JennyLayneAZ: Aaw. Adorable!

@Cherrybee: thank you!
@BandDmommy: Thanks! I am really trying hard not to buy too many clothes until after my baby shower, but its hard!

@Cherrybee: I'm sorry you can't eat sweets this holiday season - that's awful! Your husband should not be eating next to you, though - he needs to go into the kitchen with his treats!

I've been super quiet just because there hasn't been much to report. My glucose test came back and normal is 130 and I got 131. Because the rest of my numbers were really good, my dr. isn't having me do the 3 hour test (thank goodness). He just recommended I exercise for 10 minutes after each meal. That's impossible at breakfast (I have to get out the door), but doable for lunch & dinner. Overall, I'm just trying to up my activity. I was already walking the dog for 20 - 30 minutes 4 -5 times a week, but I guess that's not enough. Ah well. It'll make me healthier this pregnancy in the long run.

I also caved to my own worries and used my secondary insurance (through my husband's work) to order a proper anatomy scan. It took about 45 minutes and, thankfully, everything came back normal. Now I feel like I can relax.

And, the last bit of news is that my sister found out she's expecting a baby boy, too. Our sons will be about 1 month apart (she's due after me). I'm so excited!

I hope you all enjoy the holidays. I was pleased to see I wasn't the only one going crazy this holiday season (pregnancy hormones & the holidays don't mix). But, I'm finally feeling more relaxed now that shopping is done. Now I just have to wrap everything....looks like I'll be enjoying an Outlander marathon tonight.
