Hope your back feels better kathy! Ooh bladder kicks sound worse! Luckily for me the girls flipped and dropped pretty early so the last 2 weeks they couldnt kick my ribs anymore.
Lily used to kick this one spot on my left side under my ribs all the time. One time, I totally saw her foot shape sticking way out and I kinda grabbed it and think it startled her!

Haha Jadyn would always stick her butt out so I'd suddenly have this crazy bulge sticking out of my stomach. I'm excited for those days, even movement is most obvious! But I definitely felt some last night again.
My back is feeling better, thanks! I think my uterus us starting to straighten out. I took a bump pic in this cookie monster onesie I got for Christmas in 2013 haha, I'll have to post it here!

Hahaha! That's so cute! I love cookie monster! He's my favorite sesame street character.

Aww love the cookie monster bump! I still feel like I can see/feel a bump, but wouldn't expect others to see it. I did get around to washing my favorite jeans yesterday only to find out I could barely get into them now!

Just for fun... What side is the placenta on? US was done vaginally but I don't know if they flip the image. Based on whatever conclusions we came to about the placenta theory, is it a boy or a girl?!

(I assume the placenta is below baby as that's where the cord seems to be headed.)

My guess is bottom, towards the right but sometimes they do flip the image so it's hard to tell. They day the only way to really know is to ask during the ultrasound. Right side means boy but there are way too many other signs that you're having a girl!!
It's 3am here and I'm unable to sleep. My husband wakes up early for work and the older men he works with talk crap because I don't wake up and make him his lunch at 5am like their wives do for them. Their wives aren't pregnant and chasing around a 2 year old all day but somehow the fact that I exert way more energy during the day than these women do who sit around with nothing to do because their children have left the nest, fall into the same category. I was under the impression that my husband was a big boy and could make his own damn lunch but from the fact that he's coming home and relaying these convos to me instead of sticking up for me, it seems like I'm wrong! I really wish he'd stop talking crap about me at work. It doesn't seem like something a married man should do in a respectful marriage and now I have to be up at 3am unable to sleep and feel like crap about it.
Just needed to vent and didn't want to take it to Facebook or tell my family who would just probably go off on him and make it worse. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep now that it's off my chest!

Becca, i see it at the bottom, but it looks pretty midline to me. I can't tell if it's more right or left!

Kathy, that sucks. Dh usually has to wake up at 3am for work and I would usually make him a lunch and put it in his thermoses so it can stay hot at the job site. But since I have been pregnant, I haven't made him lunch one single time! I feel bad. I don't like that he is wasting $ on buying lunch every day, but he works so late sometimes and up so early, I can't expect him to wake up earlier and cook himself something. I am hoping soon, that I won't be so tired and can start again.

Scot gets up at 6am for work and gets home about 6pm. Even if I did pack his lunch he'd unpack it and put what he really wants in there ha! But I think he wakes up with plenty of time to make his sandwich and throw in the chips and cookies and all the junk he prefers.
I wrote a note at 3am when I was up crying and he wrote back apologizing. I can tell he feels really bad for hurting my feelings. It's not even that his coworkers think bad of me, it's that he wouldn't stick up for me. I'm up every couple hours peeing, up at random hours of the night because I'm absolutely starving! And I don't expect him to get up in the middle of the night to bring me food, and once the baby is here he never gets up with the baby. I don't expect him to but I'm not going to talk crap about him for it either. We're both adults and can feed ourselves. I mean, I started making my own lunch when I was 10 years old! So I guess it's just something that I never put thought into.
I feel better that he genuinely cares that my feelings were hurt though!
