Hellobee Boards

You guys. I just did an online calculator and my due date is 72 DAYS AWAY.

Cue freakout mode.

@namaste: Yay for your crib! I remember being so excited for ours last time. This poor child gets a chewed on, beat up crib.

@oliviaoblivia: Very well! Some nights bedtime takes longer than it should and she has started testing her limits over the last few nights, but she hated her crib so it's nice for her to actually want to sleep in her bed.

@namaste: A new crib is exciting! Are you almost finished with the nursery?

@mfa_lady: Eeek!

@Snowdrop: Not sure about continued growth but I don't rule anything out because pregnancy seems to be so different for each person. Mine are leaking what I think is colostrum.

Good news here, I passed my 3-hour test! My sugar levels were actually really low but that doesn't surprise me because I'm hypoglycemic normally. Guess the 1-hour was a fluke. Think I'll celebrate with a little ice cream for dessert tonight.

@MapleMoose: Yay! Congrats on passing your GD test. Hehe. Definitely have some ice cream!

@MapleMoose: Yahoo!!

@Raindrop: Those bras sound amazing!
@MapleMoose: mine are leaky too but havent hurt since 16 weeks.

@sorrycharlie: Hmm... My 1-hour was a fingerstick so they were able to tell me right then that I failed. Did you have a fingerstick or get blood drawn?

@MapleMoose: You had a finger prick!? That's weird... finger pricking is sooo skewed. Depending which finger I prick for my GD I can get like a 10-20 point difference.

Just got out of my GD blood draw and appointment, I also had to get the Rhogam butt shot, it hurt way more than I remembered! I'm pretty much binge eating sugary sweets until I get my results, just in case

I also asked my OB about travel for Thanksgiving and he said we shouldn't go, which I was really surprised about. I'll only be 34 weeks at the time but he said he is firm about not being more than 2 hours away from that point on, just in case. Which is actually fine with me because I was not looking forward to a 7 hour car trip!

WOHMs--have you worked out childcare yet? I am hoping to get baby girl into a highly recommended in-home place (who I've already talked to), but am reaching out to other centers nearby just in case. I hope I'm not too late!

@HappyBaker: Yeah, my doctor was like that for my last pregnancy as well (although I was more like 36 weeks at thanksgiving and it would have only been 2-3 hours away). I loved the excuse to not have to travel and make people come to us, but I also knew that if I did go they have hospitals there that I could get medical attention if necessary.

@HappyBaker: I'm not judging. .. binge away! Luckily (or unluckily, depending how I feel then) my holiday travel is all within an hour driving. I would not be able to handle a 7 hour roadtrip, yikes!

@sorrycharlie: Congrats!!

@MapleMoose: @sorrycharlie: congrats on passing your glucose test!
I had mine last Tuesday and I haven't heard anything yet, so I'm hoping that means I passed! (my office only calls if you fail)

@HappyBaker: I'm planning on taking a 7 hour trip for my sister's wedding at 32 weeks. I haven't said anything to my Dr. about it, because I'm not going to miss her wedding unless I'm in labor But I'm definitely using the "no travel" excuse to get out of Thanksgiving and Christmas with the in laws

Had my first baby shower yesterday- so much fun! We got sooo many clothes, I need to go through them all and probably take back half.
Finally got my old office completely empty and clean, and got the baby's dresser put together last night. Can't wait to get everything else set up.

@charmed: glad your baby shower was fun. I really hope I don't get any clothes at my baby shower because we already got so many hand me down clothes.

@mfa_lady: I am trying to figure out childcare as well, we might do a nanny share with another couple in our building. It's so stressful trying to figure it out.

I had an ultrasound today to check the growth. Baby is measuring at 3 lbs 13oz! Unfortunately both of her hands were covering her face so we couldn't get a 3D picture =(
I guess we'll just have to wait another 2.5 months to see what she looks like hehe

@Radish: Oh that's terrible! I hope the baby turns. Did the doctors recommend anything you can do? Or is it completely out of your hands?

@Raindrop: I don't think they are concerned until 34 weeks or so. I have a while, just makes me anxious to think about the possibility of her staying that way. Even if she was head down she could always flip back to breech, so I keep telling myself it means nothing. The good news is she is right on track growth wise so she should still have time/room.

@MrsHansen82: I usually feel her on my left side. She is curled up facing my left so I feel her arms high and her feet low or center.

@Radish: That is very true! One of my co-workers her 3rd baby was breech up to the day the schedule the c-section and when they did the U/S before the c-section she was head down again and she went into labor 3 days later and was able to do a vagina birth. So I think it's never too late for the baby to turn... hopefully turn the good way.

@Radish: 31 Thursday!
My mom said my sister was breech until 39 weeks, flipped, and then was born the next morning. You've got time.
