Yesterday I told myself that I was done putting in early or late hours for work for the remainder of the pregnancy. I am so ready to be checked out they are lucky to get 8 hours of my time. Then I was up until 11:30 last night working on a work project. Slow to get started today, but good news is I feel ahead of the week's projects for once. Heading to acupuncture at 10.

Ugh, I'm freaking out about the listeria apple recall. I eat one gala apple every single morning =/ I suppose I would feel really sick if I had listeria, right? Just another thing to worry about.
Had my 36 week appointment yesterday and doc said baby's head was still very high up and she's "not engaged yet". Well I am really to "put a ring on it". She can start moving down anytime now! I'm just so uncomfortable. All of the time. This last month blows.
The past few days I've been trying to get all of our bills on autodraft/explain to DH when/what to pay. I sure hope nothing gets missed next month!
How is it only Wednesday?! 2.5 more days of work to go until the weekend. Sigghhhh. Pity party commnece.
dronkeygal not to rain on your parade, but once she drops it will just be a different kind of discomfort! My LO has been so low most of this pregnancy, and the pain when she presses against my cervix is pretty awful. But the good news is it's the last step before the "final cure" of giving birth, so there's that.
Good morning, fab F15! SIL is a douche. I had DS's b-day party at a bowling alley on Saturday. I had text SIL a week before to tell her about it (it was super small due to this LO arriving soon). She says they are going and I said "good, I wanted to know how much pizza to get". She replies with "get a lot". I rolled my eyes. Whatever. So, day of the party, we had the perfect amount of pizza. DH said "good job at getting the right amount of pizza". SIL interrupts and said "No you didn't, I wanted to take some home." I just gave her a blank stare. (Little did I know, her daughter was running around handing out pizza slices to her friends who where there bowling out of coincidence). Then it came time for the cake. I was cutting the cake and all 5 of my niece's friends came running. (I don't know these kids). SIL said, oh make sure these kids get some. I was like WTF?? Let me serve my guests first, if there is enough, I will give them some. No, the little vultures took off with all kinds of cake and ice cream and SIL got a piece for the mother of those kids (her friend). I was so annoyed. Who the hell does that?!?
Wow... that's a nice pot of crazy right there. I mean cummon, if you're going to let your DD bring (unknown) friends to a birthday party make sure that you at the VERY least inform the parents so that they can plan accordingly (and this is already pushing my politeness-button... but ok, whatever.) Was there still at least enough left for your guests?
There was enough, but it just bugs me. She didn't invite them, it really was a coincidence they were there, but who allows their child to do that. I could never. She's like that though. Very rude and negative. I am so sick of it already. I could never let my child just go up to a random party and take cake. My aunt, who was helping me serve the cake, even told the kids "this is a private party". My SIL didn't hear and the kids still grabbed cake. I hate to sound mean, and not wanting to give kids cake, but it annoyed me.
So DH and I had agreed that we didn't need to tell anyone I was in labor until I was dilated 8 cm... well after my apt yesterday (when we found out I was one, YIPPIE!) I guess he felt it necessary to inform his mother... Who has in turn told his entire family... Who have taken to texting me to ask "if we're going to have a baby today"... SMH, don't you folks know 1 cm could last for the next 3 weeks?!
Between me and DS, we have an appointment every day for the rest of the week. DH asked me something yesterday starting off with, if you're not busy this week... I just looked at him and laughed. I'm still waiting for my registry completion coupons so I can but a bedding set, and maybe an ergo carrier. Come on coupon!

musicgirl my parade has been rained out for a week. I can't imagine how much worse it's going to feel when she drops! My doctor has already mentioned elective c-section if she gets too big, which isn't my top choice, but she says my chance for successful vaginal delivery is dropping the bigger she gets. Ugh.

If you're waiting on a BRU coupon, I got a completion coupon code by logging into their live customer service chat and asking for one.

aaaaah sorry, i read sarcasm in that 'coincidentally' statement because of my warped little mind that automatically assumes the worst of every situation (muahahahaha). That makes it profoundly less crazy but still definitely rude! Asking really nicely is one thing, but allowing randos to crash your party and then insisting they get cake and pizza is just not on :/ Next time you're over, open her cupboards and help yourself to some condiments to take home, or other really random thing, just for funsies!

Aww, hugs dronkeygal. FX that she doesn't get TOO much bigger (but that she is nice and healthy, of course!).

Thanks girl. Yes, healthy baby is most important part! I have no problem going under the knife if that's best for her. But I still might complain a little. Haha.

DH was really lovely and suggested going to the supermarket... but then he said 'should I pick up a pork roast for you to do tomorrow?' and I sarcastically replied 'yes. I want to spend my maternity leave cooking elaborate meals for you, cleaning up after you an arranging all the things that you need done.' I thought he'd gotten the hint, until he came home with a massive pork loin This is going to end in tears, I just know it... am I awful or are more of you saying hell no to being a merry housewife these weeks?

Weight estimates are notoriously off at this point by 1-2 pounds - don't lose faith that you can have the baby vaginally! Also, you can always say "no" to your doctor if they want to press a C-section just because of the estimated weight of the baby.

I had this same thing happen for me when my bed rest restrictions were lifted two weeks ago. It was like DH thought everything was perfect and I'd be cooking and cleaning again. His response was something like "Awesome, now I don't have to do everything around the house!" Dude, yeah, restrictions lifted, but I'm also VERY pregnant and VERY uncomfortable.
WittyLittle - I'm still working full time and I basically said hell no to being a merry housewife yesterday afternoon when he was off work and wanted to "hang out" with a friend.
I had my 36 week appointment today. She's not coming any time soon. The OB jokingly said this might be an elephant pregnancy. I told him he wasn't funny AT ALL.

I would have PUNCHED my OB. I think you and I are in the same boat. Baby is having wayyyy too much fun in there.

Thanks. I really hope I can deliver vaginally! Baby has had a few high-tech ultrasounds at a Fetal Diagnostic Center due to her ovarian cysts. Unfortunately I think their estimates are going to be pretty accurate. Multiple technicians/doctors have given very similar numbers. FX her weight has peaked and will level out a bit until delivery.
