bewise we had some issues with babies r us but we finally got our undamaged furniture last month and it looks great. Figuring that might give you some hope!!!

iris1264 Sounds exactly like my MIL. When she watches my kids, she gripes and complains about how hard they are and were for her, how DS is too wild, how DD should be potty trained so she doesn't have to change her diaper, the list goes on. Then she gets mad and hurt when I don't ask her for help. I would rather go through the pain of just taking the kids than hearing all that nonsense every single time.

8am here and I think nesting mode has kicked in. We were up until 11 last night working on various projects and now I want to get up and work more on the whole house!!!

What's new with baby (size, development)? Size of a carton of eggs

Any upcoming appointments this week? Not for me. DD1 has her 2 year appt Monday.

Got the newborn clothes out and put away in the nursery.

Negative
Anything you want to add?
I'm at the point that I'm ready to be done, but not ready to be done.

honda13 I am also starting to want to be done because it's getting harder to get around, but I don't want to be done yet... My body is telling me to slow down for sure.

Add me to the wanting to be done club. I probably wouldn't feel this way if I could breathe a little easier and if I didn't have the hernia making it difficult to walk some days.

Not at the wanting to be done phase yet, but it is for sure getting harder to get around and do longer activities. By the end of the day my body feels like it is in full give up mode.

I find myself getting easily irritated by clients and I'm just over work right now. I'm sure it's because it's a million degrees in here to me and my hips are killing me and I'd rather be on my couch eating ice cream! Lol! Some people I just want to look at and say "be nice to me I'm almost a million months pregnant and I constantly have to pee!"

How far? 36w 1 day

What's new with baby? Size of a cabbage patch kid... and just fattening up!

Appts? Waiting for one right now. First ultrasound I've had in a bit too. Nervous to see how it's going in there!

New symptoms: actually feeling ok. Just some ankle swelling and heartburn/acid reflux. Tmi but my hemorrhoids are so much better, FX it stays that way.

Rants/raves? Just finishing up my list of things I need to buy. The real stuff like nipple cream....

Bought for baby? Way too much. I went on an unnecessary hunt for clothes. I actually found some new with tags baby polo dresses at a consignment sale for like $1. I love finding that stuff but I've cut myself off for now

DH put her bookcase together last night. Just need a floor lamp (out of all things) to get the lighting right in her room

Anything for myself? Nope. Went to babies r us by myself. Does that count?

Anything to add? Work is stressing me out. They're trying to squeeze all of the juice out of me before I leave. It's bad enough I've had to train someone on every single responsibility but now they've added me to more and more meetings and calls. They've been semi joking about trying to figure out home access for me while I'm gone. I was hoping to extend my leave to 14 weeks and it's been made clear it's not happening. Tired of people asking me my return date and if I can cover X the day I return!
