Me too! I keep magically thinking once February hits, I will have this baby.
I'm back on the grind this week at work, and I'm already dreading it. Maybe if I just stress my body to the max and completely exhaust myself, this baby will arrive.
My child has been up about 2 hours and she's already making me crazy. Not sure what we are going to do today, but I'm already getting ready to send up the SOS signals.
I have an OB appointment at 945. Hoping for some more progress.
Then it's our first story hour of the winter session, and DS is very excited. I'm hoping that between a babysitter and story time, he is exhausted and naps all afternoon. So I can nap all afternoon, obviously.

DS was up twice last night crying (for just enough time to wake me up) for no apparent reason. Boo. I did go snuggle him the second time, which was nice. I'll take the cuddles while they last, I guess!
I realized this morning that we are out of eggs, so I broke into our freezer pancake stash. Guess I'll have to make more this week to replace them. Oh shucks
Hoping to get some more things done on my list. I have 20 items on my list for this week - but I had 22 last week, so that's improvement, right? 😑

My random this morning is that I just want to go back to bed. 4 more days until my maternity leave begins though and I cannot wait!
My other random is that I just remembered I'm working close to a Wawa today. Must get cookies and cream hot chocolate. I have been craving that all weekend and didn't work close enough to a Wawa to justify an out-of-the-way pit stop during my travels.
A nap is definitely in order today. Pregsomnia, then got up to pee, then lots of non-contraction belly pain, and lastly an awful dream that woke me up before the alarm. I've had this belly pain before. Maybe it is babies rearranging themselves, or from actually doing some housework last night? Babies have been in different positions every ultrasound. I am loathe to call my OB about it since nothing has happened after them so far (besides me being particularly achy for a day). Pain is exhausting, especially when I'm supposed to be sleeping.
I looked up c-section information while I couldn't sleep. It looks like there is no additional risk for carrying twins post-section or a VBAC for twins when compared to a single baby. That makes me feel less upset about the possibility of a c-section.
First day in three that I feel like my head isn't being cleeved in two via migraine. Thank goodness. I'm really looking forward to getting some good sleep tonight. I need it badly. Between the migraine and my eldest sister making me ragey over complete nonsense that she's escalating beyond all semblance of reason, I am desperate for just two solid hours of being virtually comatose.
OB appt this afternoon that I'm hoping goes better than last week's. I didn't get a cervical check because they sent me straight to the hospital after the failed nst, so I'm hoping to find out more today, but I have a feeling this nst isn't going to go any better.
G is being an absolute cutie so I'm lapping it up while I can. And A was even being a sweetie last night and helping out with things around the house. There's a definite feeling of expectation in the air.

I'm basically feeling great about everything today. I think I have spring fever that is making me optimistic. Or the fact that dd's party was on Saturday and it went awesome! But more importantly is OVERRR. It was a huge list of tasks waiting ahead of me that I survived. And I nearly crippled myself after, but completely put the house back in order and cleaned a ton while dd napped so when I woke up this morning-Monday didn't seem so terrible. Also had an epiphany that just because dd was a week early doesn't mean that this baby can't be a 42 weeker, and for some reason I'm ok with it all of a sudden. Actually the thought of a March 1+ baby would be kinda cool cause tbh I don't like the frigid month of February! But obviously I'll take her early still too 🤗

I'm okay this morning. WFH in my PJs and thinking about things I can get done around this empty house, like clean a few bathrooms and put together the PnP. Oh, and a nap!
I had painful contractions every half hour from 2 a.m. until about 9 a.m. this morning, so I didn't sleep well. Long story short, they're par for the course and my doc said to keep an eye, but it's nothing more than normal body behavior. The NST didn't show any significant contracts either, and baby was just fine in there.
And J's at school today (no fever and she was pretty happy this morning), and MH's belly seems to be feeling better (he's at work). My head is still full of stuff, but I can deal with that I guess.
Oh... and I just looked outside... it's snowing. WFH for the win!

2 more weeks of work! I can do this! DH packed blueberry muffins in my bag this morning, and it is making me think this week will have minimal problems! ALL THE EXCLAMATION POINTS! DS did wake up and cry for a while last night, DH finally got him to calm down. Not sure what it was about, DH think he was having a nightmare.
I'm being sent to L&D. My bp was on the high side and baby wasn't being cooperative for the 20 mins I was on the monitor. My dr said based on the monitoring, it looks like a baby who should be delivered, but she also said there's more to that picture which is why I need several hours of monitoring.
I don't know how I feel. Now that I said good bye to DS and am in the car, I'm ready to do this thing.
But thinking that this morning was my last morning with DS? Omg. All the emotions

shellbell good luck with baby monitoring, whichever way things turn out!! As much as it freaks us out, our LO's are going to be totally ok when these babies start showing up. I hope you're able to relax while you're there. 🙌🏻

The baby shower yesterday was actually a lot of fun! It was small, really cute, and the games moved right along. Then I stayed and hung out with the family for a while. Turns out the expectant mom's belly looks smaller to me than mine does and while people asked me questions about me, no one thought to compare us. It was good to have an afternoon of being with friends by myself with no kid. That's probably not going to happen again for a good long while.
H went back to 1st shift today so we are getting back in a different routine. So far DS1 has been a super happy person and I like him a lot today. It's nice to look forward to H getting home, rather than feeling rushed in the morning before he leaves at 1pm.

shellbell thinking of you!! Good luck! crazycatlady6 yay for a fun surprise! Hope you enjoyed!! I'm exhausted today per usual and trying to keep up with my to do list. DS is supposed to be napping but I can hear him back there playing with his fire truck. As long as he plays and stays in there without complaining so I can get my work done I'm just gonna let him!
