Rant This is long, I'm Sorry
I told my boss right away when I was pregnant in case something bad happened he'd let me leave without 100000 questions. SOOO he's known for 34 weeks. I started when I was 30 weeks bugging him about my replacement. He said he'd have a game plan beginning of Aug (33 weeks). I went on vacation - still no game plan. Then my cw annouced she's pregnant, due in Feb. SO happy for her, but then boss said he had to worry about 6 mons vs 3 mons between the two of us. I was like huh? I'll be back 2 months before she leaves! Focus on my replacement so I can train. I go back to bugging him weekly. FINALLY, after he was talking to me about time management, I asked him who is my back up?! He names a cw that I trained 2 year ago, which was awesome. retraining is easier. I start retraining him, but they keep giving him more and more work.
Last Wednesday night I woke up to VERY sharp pains in my left side along with my (now almost daily) Braxton Hicks. It lasted 2 hours, and I got up an hour later to go to work. More I moved, the more it hurt. I barely got back from walking the dog, in tears. So I called off work, and my parents came over until H got home that afternoon. Called the nurse, and since it was near my hipbone, they thought my hips were shifting and got out of alignment (since resting was helping it). I guess me calling off woke my boss up... and he freaked out asking people who knew how to do my job.
He came up to me yesterday and said we really need to start training someone. OH REALLY?! He said to start training the new guy. Here he doesn't remember telling me to re-train my cw. #-o So with a week left, i've got to set up, and train my replacement. Oh the mess I'll be coming back to in December...
Pregnant Girls:
How many weeks: 28 weeks.
How are you feeling? Good, can't seem to sleep enough though. Hopefully this doesn't mean I'll be as tired as I was 1st trimester.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? Nothing really just have weekly urine tests I have to do. My last one showed less protein. Probably because I kicked my low sodium diet back into high gear. Let's hope the protein levels stay low. I'll get a bump pic up tonight.
Update on my sister: She's been bleeding daily but her cervix is closed and baby is hanging in there, and no placenta issues. She just had her NT scan done yesterday and baby was measuring ahead at 13 weeks. Everything looks good and they can't tell her why she's had issues bleeding. Thank you all for keeping her in your T&Ps.
Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD/DPO: CD1 =(
W2O or 2WW? neither
Testing plans: so much for testing on 9/11 like FF said. AF came early, I blame H, he has been stressing me out with his damn job and late hours.
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: see above
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 14 months yesterday
How do you feel? i have cramps=(
Any Milestones this week? she refuses to walk, i think she is scared. She will walk on her knees, i dont get it, she cracks me up! Im not worried bc I dont want to rush her and a part of me wants her to stay little forever.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? Im just cranky today...the only thing that is helping is my boss got me pumpkin coffee=) I love the fall!
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 3 months on Friday
How do you feel? Pretty good. I started back to school last week and it sucks not being home all day.
Any Milestones this week? Little man has some teeth sitting just under the gums. That's fun.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics?
Cycle/Month: 7/7
CD/DPO: CD 26/5 DPO
W2O or 2WW? 2ww
Testing plans: waiting until AF is due. It's taking everything in my will power not to pee on all the sticks. I reeeeally want a birthday BFP but I know it;s too early to test accurately.
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: D is getting really disappointed it's taking this long to get pregnant, even though I assure him it's totally normal. Oh, and my boobs are sore for the first time EVER, so of course I'm like "omg, I'm pregnant!!!!!!".
How many weeks: 6 weeks, 2 days - Sweet pea!
How are you feeling? Tired! Omg, am I tired! I fell asleep at 9 last night and I was still super tired this morning. I'm still cramping, but it's been better the last couple of days. Also, having on and off nausea which is just awesome.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? I have another beta draw tomorrow morning, then I go in for an U/S and follow up with my doctor on Thursday. I'm really scared. I'm worried I'll have a blighted ovum and that this pregnancy will be over before I am used to the fact that I'm pregnant. I really just want to see a little heart beat flicker. The U/S is being done at another clinic so I won't even be able to see the screen while they are doing the U/S so I probably won't even be able to see it if there is one. H is going with me and he said that he'll give me the thumbs up if he sees it, but I think I'll start bawling if he doesn't because then I'll know there isn't one.
Pregnant Girls:
...weird rib pain that felt like it broke, then went away, MW said it was just a baby kick to a nerve or ligament
How many weeks:36w3d
How are you feeling?great overall
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? I'm right on track for everything, baby's doing great, now I just have to put the crib together...and that's about it!!! just getting excited! I have a shower Saturday with my PhD group, and then I will do my massive return/exchange/get everything else from the registry trip on Sunday (still no completion coupon in the mail though...!)
AND NBR- my proposal was accepted by the faculty last night, so I'm pumped!!!
Mommies:
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 1 month, 1 day
How do you feel? Tired and sad. My return to work date is 9/18. I am not ready or mentally prepared to return to work and leave my baby.
Any Milestones this week? Her birth certificate arrived yesterday
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? Take a nap, O!!!!
Mommies:
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 8 weeks yesterday!
How do you feel? Good but sad that I had to return to work. I miss snuggling with him all day!
Any Milestones this week? He started making minimal eye contact and gave us a handful of smiles :-)
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? Here's H and baby after there first day alone...H almost didn't survive lol
How many weeks: 38 weeks tomorrow
How are you feeling? Good, but I'm back to tiring easily, which totally works against getting our place ready for baby's arrival!
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? We went to a birthing class last night and I think it sort of scared H about the whole process, lol. But, at least we're a little more prepared for the day's events.
Oh, and here's last week's bump pic.
@catvine My school district only pays for 6 weeks, if you have enough sick days. I could take up to 4 years unpaid. We need my salary though
@goatlady12 I really like Chalupa Batman although I know that is not something you can put on a birth certificate.
Cycle/Month: who knows
CD/DPO: cd 8 million, 7 DPO
W2O or 2WW? 2WW
Testing plans: I only have the really expensive digital tests left, so I'll wait until 12 DPO at least. I will say I'm having things happening at 7 DPO that never happen to me. (Here comes the crazy train: spotting, huge temp drop, increased cm <ewww>, etc.)
I want to love this 100000000000000 times! YAY!!!!!
