Afternoon, ladies! Sorry this is a post and run, just wanted to say hello. Elliott is doing very well in the nicu today. He ate very well and he's being tested in the crib to make sure he can maintain body temp. If he can, he's getting moved to the nursery so hopefully that means a discharge is in our near future! They have a strict visitor ban to only parents and grandparents, so we have people chomping at the bit to visit. Hope everyone is doing well!!
I just waited for my panini press to make me a gilled cheese. It didn't work so I tried again. Didn't work! I called DH up from his office complaining that its broken, but nope. I just didn't plug it in.
Happy Wednesday. I am happier today because I have two preps at school (yesterday I had zero due to exam schedule and was on my feet all day...totally felt that at home).
I did something this morning I have NEVER done. I woke up before my alarm on a work day because I was TOO HUNGRY to sleep. I couldn't believe it. I actually showered, did my hair and makeup for once before going to work (I had an hour to kill). I do wish I could nap now though.
I'm also in the uncomfortable boat. I KNOW he has to cook longer, but please, just give me some relief!

I think its time for a nap.
Last time I was pregnant, I made an awesome chicken quesadilla in my quesadilla maker. Put the tortilla down, lots of chicken, lots of cheese. It looked wonderful. Until I opened the lid and realized that I didn't put another tortilla on top. I cried for so long.

I'd delete the other spam thread but I'm mobile all day today sorry!
Had our last sono today before Friday. LO looks great and is roughly 6lbs we think. It was the first time the kids were able to go to one and they loved it. We FINALLY got to see her face. Of course it would be when her siblings were there. We are all registered for Friday. Yall I'm crazy nervous!! Lol we have to call the hospital at 3pm to make sure we still need to be there at 5pm and not later.

Just got back from my 36 week appointment...my cervix is high and tight. I am scheduling my growth scan for early next week. FX she isn't a 10lb 10oz chunker like me.
I just inhaled my Wawa hoagie and creamy dill pickle chips, YUM. I could eat that entire meal over again right now. I have nothing out defrosting for dinner, so I'm going to go with delivery pizza
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.
lovtit'd in support. I'm surprised your OB still has her nose in the correct place on your face...
Seriously, all I want to do right now is eat. I already had lunch. And crackers. And fruit snacks. Going to try drinking some flavored water, hopefully that will trick my brain into thinking I'm still eating? Geez.
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?

I was half an hour early for my MW apt bc I can't read. And I put off lunch until after so I was starting to waste away! Babys heading is starting to dip into the pelvis.
Rarity seriously? Who thinks they are going to take food home from a party? You weren't there to supply her with dinner too! She sounds special!

We should make a weekly "music Monday/Tunes Tuesday/other" thread where we all share our fave current songs/music we've been liking lately. I can never find good music on my own and usually end up liking new stuff based on other peoples' suggestions! Yeah? no?

Ahh man, that would be upsetting. This is not the time in our lives for food problems! I have never heard of a quesadilla press. I need to look it up cause it sounds like a kitchen gadget I need!

My boss keeps altering our (pre-determined, already completed) ad schedule and not telling me about it. All of our print ads have already been submitted through July!
If he doesn't tell me about these changes, he's shit out of luck in getting the ads created while I'm on leave.
He has 2 kids. You'd think that he would know better than to piss off a pregnant lady, but apparently not.
My BSC MIL just called me "just to chat." She proceeded to tell me about the time she lost her mucus plug when she was pregnant with DH, how she "just knows" the baby is coming this weekend, and how she would just wish they would induce me already because she's sick of waiting.

I can't decide if this deserves it's own thread but I'm starting to stress out. H's job starts to pick up starting feb 1. Like 80-100 hours per week and he can't take off due to the nature of his job. There will be weekends he gets off at 2am and has to be back at 5am. I'm going to have a 16 month old and a newborn. I'm terrified.
His mom is coming for a week but she's "helpful" if you know what I mean. Wants to be entertained, etc.
I have some local family but they work and I can't just ask them to come help me for days at a time.
Any advice to get through the first few weeks or months?

Happy Wednesday!
I never seem wake up early enough to catch the spam before it is a couple of pages long. Oh well...
Had a doctor's appointment yesterday and I'm dilated to a 1. I know that it's not much at all but I'm pretty excited since my mom and sister both had c-sections. I may be the first to have a vaginal birth but we shall see. This is already new territory...
Hiya ladies. I was out and about early today. Met a local nestie who gave me some baby bottles and sippie cups and an abc floor mat Wahoo. Then went to ikea and buy buy baby to finish up some shopping. I feel so successful today.
Now if I could just get moving after my nap that would be good.

I say just ask. Maybe there could be a rotation of family and friends helping if you can't hire someone. I'm really sorry that you'll be going through that.

I think I'm skipping my birthing class tonight. I don't think I can deal with the 3 hours of couples touching each other. It's mainly this one couple. The dude is always massaging his wife head, even when she's talking. It drives me insane. Also the time slot sucks. 630-930. We leave our place at 6 to get by 630 and don't get home til 10. I'm so tired and hangry by then. Yes there is a bs snack but, I want a real meal, not cheese and crackers. Soooo I shouldn't go tonight rt!??
This day is the pits! We were on our way to do some baby shopping and got a flat tire. Ugh! On the interstate no less. After DH puts the donut on, we realize the battery died. It took Roadside Assistance and hour just to get to us. We finally made it home. No new baby stuff for the rest of the month because now I need a new tire AND a new battery. I'm going back to bed. Tomorrow will be a great day. It just has to be.

Lol, I totally have a picture of the weird couple in my head. That is so freakin creepy. I would skip. But I'm also a huge slacker and never took a birthing class. Oops. I took a hospital tour. That counts right? Haha.
