Complainer

Okay - here it goes. I'm going to complain.

I feel like shit. Absolute crud. Sunday was beautiful and I'm not sure if I just overdid it or if I picked up a bug or what. I ache everywhere (but particularly back/hips/legs which makes me think Baby B's having a growing spurt). I am hot cold hot cold hot cold. I have a headache A LOT and only sometimes does it go away with tylenol. I am not sleeping for crap. I wake up at least every 20 minutes IF I fall asleep in the first place. Therefore I am super low energy, I hurt and clearly am NOT getting enough sympathy! I'm also not very hungry which makes me worried because I want to make sure Baby B is getting enough to eat.

Right now I'm going to lay down as I'm sitting here shivering.

If this is pg related, I shouldn't be complaining because I've had a very uneventful, unstressful, un-sick, unhurting pregnancy thus far. And I know a lot of the things (like my general uncomfortableness, lack of sleep, etc) will just get worse in the next few months. But I feel lousy and therefore am complaining.

I have belly shots (25w) but will post later. My bed is calling....

I just lurk here, but don't worry, things will be okay. I just had my 2nd almost 4 months ago. I didnt eat much for weeks because I was sick and didnt feel like it. Just eat your crackers, and some juice or water, and you should be fine! I know it will get worse before it gets better, but honestly it's so worth it! I think that babies prepare us for whats to come keeping you up all night peeing, and being uncomfortable...so when it comes out, you'll be used to staying up most of the night!

{{HUG}} I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well. It could be a bug, but it could be pregnancy related. I had achiness spurts a few times in my pregnancy - especially back, hips, etc. Pay attention if your fatigue continues, though. It was right at the start of my 3rd trimester that I was exhausted ALL the time. I finally learned I was anemic and once I started on iron it was like being reborn. If you stay this tired, be sure to ask your doc to do some bloodwork. Hope you feel better!!

Tell your doctor about the headaches. Could be an issue with blood pressure so check it out just to be safe. Plus they can give you a prescription for a headache medicine besides Tylenol you can take.

It's hard work growing a baby. Hang in there! You'll have good days again, I promise!

Oooh. That's crummy. I hope you're feeling better real soon. I second the "Call the doctor if your headache doesn't improve" comment. Rest, relax, and take good care of you! You have done amazing things with all your hiking during your pregnancy. You deserve some time to chill! :)

It's so hard to know what is just normal PG stuff and what you should worry about, isn't it? The insomnia is the worst. But it will all be soooo worth it, I promiseikju

Big hugs from here too. Follow Cello Mama & Donna's advice. Not to worry you (b/c I'm sure all is well) but I thought my issue was food poisoning related. Had I not had an already scheduled appt I don't know what would have happened. Put a call into your doc and see if she wants you to come in for a quick looksee.

I should've done this a year ago....

A pandemic game time & conversation (via Zoom)   Well, we're about 13 months into this pandemic and I should've been back blogging then. I mean, I was home an awful lot. I could've done it. But I didn't. I wrote in my actual journal but that's a crazy mish-mash of stuff. This would've been fun to keep just pandemic stuff. Ah well, live and learn. I'll be ready for the next one (no, no, I won't). It's been a year...a year of ups and downs; of being laid off and re-hired; of wondering what to do with my life and starting grad school. We got fish, we got two kittens. What a year.  Kids have mostly been troopers but there have been some tough days. August went back to hybrid last fall, then everything stopped for a while and went back to 5 days a week in February - hooray! Dahlia finally got to start hybrid in.....February? (I can't remember) and then started back in person 4 days a week...but after her first 4 days she was identified as a "

Penguin Shenanigans

Image
For our 2020 Winter Reading program, there wasn't an overall theme. I decided to create my own theme. And the Penguins took over the library! I printed out real-to-life sized photographs of penguins...an Emperor, a Fairy, a Chinstrap and a Galapagos Penguin to be exact. I put them on the walls in one area. My hope was that kids would stand next to them and measure up - and they sure did! It put a smile on my face every time. Above each penguin I included some facts. Usually where they lived, what they ate and any quirky stuff about them. It's always great to be able to provide a little learning opportunity along the way. We also included penguin voting. I always think it's fun to add a pre-math activity when I can. I made 4 buckets with a photo of each of the aforementioned penguins. Kids (& adults) were able to ask for a "voting token" (ie: a saved bottle cap) at the desk and then put it in the bucket of their choice. It was fun hearing t

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.
