@FaithFertility: that sounds like a great plan! You will love the extended maternity leave!

@BandDmommy: ahhhh 545 is so early! T is usually up at 630. What time is he going to bed? Any chance bumping him later will help? I have all the stuff for the big boy bed but am so worried about this my son is going to be in a crib til age 10

@winniebee: he goes of bed at 8. The advantage of him waking up is he gets to see DH otherwise he'd never see his daddy. He takes a 3 hour nap so I think I'm going to start napping with him.

@BandDmommy: Good luck on your 3 hour today! I hope you pass it!

@MrsScallop: Thank you! I'm not as worried as much about having GD as I am about what they are going to do to my poor arm!

@winniebee: My doctor actually said about this first test that he thought I'd pass "with flying colors" he was wrong! I really hope I do pass the 3 hour though!

@BandDmommy: oh no! How did the drink taste?

@BandDmommy: oh man. I'm sorry! I'm doing mine next week and I am sooooooooo dreading it.

@winniebee: Our 3 year old is in a regular bed, and will not get out of her bed except on rare occasion to get something she dropped. She will call for us first. You might be surprised by your LO.

She was still in our bed this morning at 3:45 though because she woke up with a diaper leak and I didn't want to change her bedding. In hindsight, I probably would have slept better if I took the time to change the bedding and keep her out of our bed.

@winniebee: B loves his big boy bed though.

@MamaG: yeah, they always have trouble trying to find a good vein on me! last time they used one on my hand

@snowjewelz: I hope I pass it! I'm just so dreading this test!

@whenoceansrise: I've always done hand except for early on when they needed 10 vials and they HAD to dig around to find my vein. I feel your pain!

@whenoceansrise: I have hard to find veins as well. They've been using butterfly needles so far. They have to alternate arms.

@MrsScallop: I was surprised too! I knew she was making a ruckus in there but esp being a FTM I can't really tell what's going on usually! Dr said they tend to get lazier so once they move they hopefully won't move back! I hope your boy is head down too next time you check!!

@snowjewelz: All the appointments!

My MFM suggested I needed to be seen by my OB twice per week and I about panicked. This is my busiest stretch at work and I don't have time for all that. Luckily, my OB only wants to see my once/week but I will also have sono's weekly. They scheduled them all back to back in her office so at least it's only one day, but probably will be an hour or more with more time in the waiting room than I'd like.

LO was estimated at 4lbs last week which would put me on track for 8-9lb baby. I don't believe them They did this with C as well, estimated her weight at least a pound higher.

And I'm over the GD stuff too. I'm just ready to be done! My A1C levels have fallen back into normal range now that I'm eating better.

@snowjewelz: ha, even as a second time mom I can't tell if I am feeling punches or kicks a lot of the time. But, dr just said baby feels head down right now, woo!

@BandDmommy: no question he will love it! It's not that part that makes me hesitate.

@MamaG: did your daughter fight sleep though? My son had never once asked to go to bed or said he was tired and plays for 30 mins or more in his crib before nap and bed.

@winniebee: Yes, yes and yes! It's a sure sign that C is tired when she randomly spouts, "I'm not tired, I don't need to go to bed". This happens completely unprompted. She also has a plethora of things to keep her entertained in her bed and will have full conversations with her animals, attempt to read books and sing songs. She's often in bed for 30+ minutes before actually falling asleep. Same thing in the morning, we are more diligent about getting her quickly because we want to get over the night time potty training hurdle at some point, but she will keep herself entertained in her bed at wake up too.

Now, I will say it is also burdensome when she drops a book or animal and yells for us to come get it, instead of getting it herself. But that burden far outweighs the middle of the night wake ups where she decides to leave her bed.

Honestly, when we moved her to a toddler bed, the first day we told her that she couldn't get out unless she asked first. Apparently that's one rule that has stuck with her. We have the same rule for opening the refrigerator, but at least once per week I have to remind her that she's not to go into the refrigerator without permission.

Test done.. This is what I came home too.. DH asleep on other part of sectional

@theotherstark: I am not super diligent about timing them I just keep track of how many I have - like if I'm having one I glance at the clock and see it's 1:15 and then if I have another and see it's 1:45 I know I don't need to worry. When you have real contractions you will need to start timing them when they come on and keep track of how long they last and how much time between but since they are more painful it's more obvious. There are tons of contractions timer apps too.
