Hellobee Boards

@MissLace: Looks great! I think the white crib really complements the wall nicely!

@MapleMoose: My doc basically said that since this is LO #2, my body is stretching out a lot more and a lot faster. Hooray! haha.... I'm glad to know its "normal" if not uncomfortable. I just have to let the anxiety go sometimes.

@ValentineMommy: I'm definitely way worse about eating and drinking water on Saturdays. And of course I'm chasing my toddler much more. I need to take it easier on the weekends but it's hard as a working mama not to go go go on the weekends to catch up on life!

Had the re-evaluation ultrasound for my little wiggle worm. Everything looked great. Couldn't get any good 3D pictures of her face because she was hiding behind her hands. I have lab work for my glucose test and have to complete it before Jan 31st then we start bi-weekly appointments. It is just flying by now!

Here is a profile picture and the only 3D one I got. If you look closely on the right side of the 3D one you can see a little bit of her face hiding behind that hand

We had another ultrasound today! Baby girl was mid flip and in a weird position, but the tech was able to get the last arm and hand measurements and she also confirmed that she's still a girl for my husband, lol. We also got a better profile pic! Her nose looks completely different from DD1,so I think she got DHs. His family has big noses, lol. This one is definitely a mover and a shaker though, so different from DD1.

Oh, we also scheduled my glucose test on Jan 31. I'm going to go straight for the 3 hr test since I failed the 1 hr last time. Ugh. But the good news is, it's after a wedding I'm a bridesmaid in. More cake for me.

@mrsmacSLP: buy these: https://shopcoobie.com/ You can get the nursing kind or not-nursing kind, your preference. They're stretchy and comfy yet somehow supportive for being 1 size fits many. I went from a 36C to a 38H by the time DS1 was born so I feel your pain. I got the nursing kind of these and it worked well for the end of pregnancy and then throughout my nursing journey.

@abbydabbydoodlebug: So cute! We have a squirmy little one over here too. She never stops moving!

@lilteacherbee: I've never had much of a sweet tooth, but now it's non-stop! It's crazy!

@mrsmacSLP: @JennyPenny: I second the coobie! Although, unlike you ladies, my 36B's stayed 36B's waaaah Lol!

@mrsmacSLP: Since I stayed small in the boob department, I don't know how they'd run for women who have actual boobs lol!

@mrsmacSLP: I feel like when I ordered last pregnancy their sizing info was more informative, but I looked up my order from last time and I got "full size". They still fit well this pregnancy too even though my boobs haven't become nearly as giant as they did last time. So I think that would be best for you too.

Hi all! Sorry I've been MIA! I took a break from
pretty much all social media for a bit

We found out this baby is a girl! (I also have a 14mo son)

The first and most of the second tri was super hard with exhaustion. I usually am fine with little sleep but I was going to bed at 8 every night and waking up tired. It was so hard and I didn't feel like "myself" at all. Thankfully, the last week has taken a turn. I've been able to stay up till 10. Progress! My DH and I really value our time together after E is asleep so it's nice to have that back. We've been watching The Crown and OJ Made in America.

@mrsmacSLP: So I went from a 30C to right now being a 32G (and I hate it! so heavy!) Everyone recommends the Coobies but I never felt like they could support the gals enough so let me know how they work for you! I've been wanting to order one.

Last pregnancy I went through 2 different sizes/sets of bras and also bought nursing bras. I didn't buy the nursing bras until my milk came in/LO had arrived because things get a little crazy/engorged in the beginning and then the boobs figure out how much milk they need, etc. I wore nursing tanks for the first week or two until they calmed down. I wouldn't buy nursing bras until you know how they will react to your milk coming in.

Regardless, I've spent way too much money on bras because of pregnancy, but I was too uncomfortable to suffer through without support! I've had good luck at Nordstrom if you decide to go the traditional bra route - they carry a lot of larger cup sizes to manage the beasts but the bras are not cheap. Luckily I've gotten a lot of use out of them between this pregnancy and last.

@psw27: YES!! I'm super excited. It would be super helpful if she cooks until then because then I can set up DS before hand.

@bubblegum: eeek so exciting!! I'll probably schedule mine in the next few weeks! Pretty sure it's gonna be sometime between May 3-5.

@ValentineMommy: Ugh! I'm sorry. I kinda feel like your body knows what you need to gain. With my two, I gained more the second time but I ended at the exact same weight as the first because I started lower. I'm trying not to worry about it because, for me, I lose it all within 4-5 months. I did have that talk both times, though (and it was when I gained a lot one month, but it evened out the next).

@ValentineMommy: Boo. I'm sorry. Try not to think about it! I'm over 200 lbs and my doctor doesn't say anything about my weight. I have this insurance program lady that calls me every month or so and she's always harping on me to find out how much weight I have gained, even though I've told her repeatedly that my doctor doesn't mention it unless it's a problem. But i guess that's not good enough for her. It's annoying.

@JennyPenny: @psw27: I just ordered a two pack off amazon with a gift card I had. Hoping they work out! I'll let you know psw27!

I have glucose testing (1-hour no fasting) in an hour. I'm dreading the drink-it's been in my 20 degree car all day hoping that helps out!

@psw27: haha well bedtime is 9pm And it's cold out so I don't spend much time bar hopping!

The glucose drink wasn't that bad! I had the lemon lime and it tasted like a melted otter pop. The jitters after we're tough and little man flipped like crazy! I'll have results Monday afternoon. Until then I'm painting trim for the whole house!

@mrsmacSLP: I'm glad it wasn't so bad!

As for me, I'm dreading the glucose test. I don't drink soda or sugared drinks at all so it just feels so gross to me. And last time I had the jitters for a while followed by a major sugar crash. Oh well, has to be done I guess...

@mrsmacSLP: Glad it wasn't too bad! Hope you passed!

I had GD with my first, but not my second, so I'm a little nervous. I think I'll schedule mine for my next appointment after the one I have Friday. Overall, I wasn't happy about the diagnosis when it happened, but it wasn't so bad once I got used to it. However, I'm seriously craving sugar with this pregnancy, so I'm reallyyyyy hoping I don't have it again!

@bubblegum: I know how that feels. My first was almost 2 weeks late before they induced. I was swollen and contracting and miserable but she wouldn't budge! My second came a few days early in a crazy fast birth so I'm a bit worried what's in store for #3!
