I'm resting in my wrist brace while DD has quiet time. I broke down and bought one because my right hand basically felt like it was asleep all day yesterday.
Birthday party at 4 for two kids from my mom's group. Their mom leads the group and the Facebook event page shows 42 people attending!
It's our last weekend as a family of 3! Trying to soak it all in by being lazy around the house while getting laundry done. Trying to get all the bed sheets and towels washed so we don't have to worry about it until after we're home from the hospital next Saturday.

mc13 I'm in a similar spot. This is our last weekend of being a family of 4. I have stuff I want to get done today, but right now I'm just laying on the couch while DD thinks about napping. Laundry will be tackled tonight once DH gets home and then we will pack our bags.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
We went to a sibling class at the hospital today, the kids loved it. They got to see a brand new 15-hour-old baby in the nursery on the maternity floor tour and they were just beside themselves, it was so cute to see their reactions. I got all teary seeing that tiny baby, I can't believe I will have another one soon!
Speaking of, I'm now on weekly appointments (was supposed to have 1 more 2 weeker) because my BP was 142/100 on Thursday, so they want to keep an eye on it and watch for any pre-eclampsia signs. So, I've been working in the nursery all afternoon, I want to get it all ready this weekend just in case baby needs to come early. Also, my in-laws are coming to visit for a couple of days next Sunday, so I want to have it all in order before then.
I can't believe we've had so many babies arrive on the board already, it's so exciting!

Good evening! We went to the zoo this afternoon and I walked about 5 miles (per my phone.) Really hope that did something toward helping me dilate more/go into labor. It was really nice to spend quality time with DS. We spoiled him. Rode all the rides, got him ice cream etc.
We just got done watching Hotel Transylvania 2. I'm thinking of treating myself to a glass of wine once DS goes down.

I work tomorrow then half a day Wednesday then I'm DONE until after thanksgiving!! That's the only thing getting me through. My body is physically struggling to make it through these shifts!
I'm washing my robe and our new name onesie tonight. Once those are packed we'll be 100% hospital ready! Chatted with our photographer today about our nb session. I'm so excited!!! Hopefully he cooperates (sleeps like a rock) unlike his sister when she was a nb.

I cleaned a little bit today, finished a book on my phone (instead of doing all the cleaning I should have) and went and saw the boy. He's getting very vocal and it's so stinkin' cute. My cousin is coming over again tomorrow to try and help make some room in the nursery to store stuff from the shower next weekend in there. I will forever be using her for a cleaning partner she helped so mucb the last time. I think I got more done with her in a few hours then I would have with anyone else.
Had my IRL BFFs shower yesterday and I didn't swell and my kid was great during it so that was a win. Today is my 30th bday! I think we're going to go out to bfast as a family and meet up with another couple for hibachi tonight #soberfun
Little Mac got discharged from the Special Care Nursery and is now with me on the ward. His blood sugars and temps have been good and he's nursing like a champ so I'm hopeful we'll be home tomorrow
LadyNymeria A massage sounds so amazing right now...
@lovetruly I'm always so glad to hear how well your little guy is doing! And how well you are handling it too.
Happy Birthday kerbear!! Great news theophania!! That's awesome lpj!! We have been settling in at home. Things are going well. Got some sleep finally so I feel lots better! Ember is such a content baby and oh so sweet!!

The baby has decided to not move much at all today. Now I'm paranoid. I'm eating a salad for lunch then having some ice cream to hopefully get him going. DH is being paranoid. And of course I'm at work. I'm hoping I can get him going with some sugar.
We just did a huge Costco and Target run. We may not have lots of real food but we have plenty of snacks to last the next few weeks. So many impulse purchases were made. Lol

I hate days like that annapunkalunka. Hopefully he starts moving soon. I know the closer we get to the end the less they move. My baby has definitely had some lazy days these past couple weeks. Go with your gut though. I know most doctors would rather you play it safe and give them a call.
I feel terrible today. Not contracting or anything, but I'm just super tired and swollen. Do you every have days where you just feel fuzzy? I just took a two hour nap, so I'm hoping that helps.
Currently sitting in the drive thru for this ice cream place that has the world's largest ice cream cones. No idea if it really is the largest, but it's at least a pint of ice cream in a cone.

Did you get him moving? A couple times I've been really worried. I put a cold drink on my bump and that always gets a kick.
I got a couple of good movements. He's definitely not as active as usual, but I'm also on higher alert than usual bc it's out of the norm for us to not have a lot of movement. Hopefully when I can sit and relax tonight he perks up!!

I'm glad you got some movement. Maybe he's saving up for a dance party tonight? If you're still concerned though give your doctor a ring.

I know this days when Katie is quietest are days that I'm running around like crazy. Not sure if it's just because I can't feel her as much or if she's just tired.
mc13 I'm so bad about impulse buying. I just went to SAMs club and bought a big bag of mixed candy. All I needed was hamburger. Lol.
I'm tired of hurting. I just want to go into labor now so I can get it done. I'm becoming a major crank from not getting sufficient sleep and constantly hurting. Also I just finished binge watching orange is the new black. Hate when I run out but at least fear the dead starts this week.
