It's a miracle. Last night was the first night all week I slept well. What a difference a good night's sleep makes.
I am off to the Dr this morning. And H says I really need to get my hospital bag together. I think he is beginning to worry I won't be prepared when we have to go lol! So that and freezer meals and baby room reorganization is on my list today.
Do not leave me motivation!
Oooooh and the carafe for my latte maker came in yesterday (mine broke early last week) double yay for a homemade chai tea latte.
Headed off to my 38 (or 39th? I've lost track) week appoint. Just saw my area is supposed to get hit by some winter storm-age this weekend, so hoping baby stays cooking!
I have to write an annoying email to a friend today and I'm dreading it. She is starting a non-profit and wants me to be on the board. When she first brought this up a few months ago I said I needed lots more information about the time commitment, any legal/financial ramifications, commitments, ect. She said should would send all that, but hasn't, and just sent an email about the first board meeting being in Late Feb, and also imed me to be like, well you probably can't come, but maybe you could Skype in? Um no. I'm sorry. Remember the part where I haven't agreed to be on it and you haven't sent anything? A big part of the issue is that she is pretty flaky in general, so I don't see how this could go well. Also the goal of the non-profit just isn't really in my interest areas. I don't have an issue with it or anything, just not something I want to devote time to, especially with a new baby, new house, and full time job. I'm just UGH cause I know she is going to be pissy.

DH was JUST this morning nagging me about that. I pointed to the bag I put out and he was like...wait its empty. He is stressed cause he thinks I'm going to go into labor and then start yelling at him to get all these things from around the house and he doesn't know where anything is. He's totally right, and there is no way thats not happening even if I pack most everything, so he is just going to get yelled out. He wasn't happy with that answer though.

LOL! The thing is I have my list and I am an efficient packer so putting stuff in the bag will take all of maybe 20 min *maybe* but he also thinks we need to start carrying it with us this weekend. But there are some things that won't go in until we leave but someone is getting anxious . It's actually kind of cute.
Annoyed. The registration sticker fell off the license plate of H's car somehow, so he got a ticket yesterday for having an "expired" sticker. Ugh so not only do we have to contest the ticket with proof we do have the registration, I have to go to the DMV today to get a replacement sticker. I was planning on seeing Whiplash after school with co-workers, but now I'll be at the secretary of state, ughhhhhh
Boo that stinks. At least you should be able to get it taken care of without paying the ticket. Silver lining?
I wish I could tell you I slept well, but it would be a lie. Got the TDaP shot yesterday which severely cramped my sleeping style, in addition to the regular difficulties. Add to that my husband is traveling this week, so the guard dog (miniature dachshund) is on nightly patrol, up and growling/barking at everything she thinks she hears.
I'm determined to have something positive in my spam, and tonight is the first community band rehearsal of the new year, so I'll count that as a plus. We'll see how very pregnant + clarinet works out!
Rough night of sleep. Not including the times i was up to pee i woke up at 4 with a raging headache... Weird. And then at 6 with heartburn. I think I'm about to reach my limit. I was going to try and make it to Feb to take Fridays off but i think that's going to happen next week. I just don't think i can do 5 days anymore. On a positive note i scheduled my haircut and will be scheduling a massage, manicure and pedicure very soon!

It's baby eve day here. I can't believe that Saturday I could be posting in the birth announcement post already. Otherwise I'm just listening to it rain outside and letting the kids sleep in. My SIL was going to come over to help clean the house but forget it. I can't deal with 2 people with autism today. I just want to watch movies and sleep. DH apologized for being a butt-head last night and my parents...I said eff it but DH can't take care of the dog bc he'll be at the hospital. I couldn't get comfortable after 330 this morning.
@holachica - I'm sorry you have to deal with that. I'm in the midst of (finally) changing my last name. Ugh to all those stupid places involved in theses processes.
I woke up to a swollen face today. DH says it's not that noticeable. I think I have jowls and DSL. I suppose DSL isn't something to complain too much about, but I won't be using them My swelling has been increasing over the past couple days. I had felt spoiled until now. Oh well!

My issue with packing is most of the stuff I really want in there I use every day. Contacts, glasses (only have 1 pair) shorts, my one tshirt that fits, makeup. So, I can't really pack any of it. Maybe a coming home outfit, but that will probably be leggings of which I have 2 pairs, so again, don't want to pack them.

My diaper bag finally came in the mail last night. I ordered a skip hop seersucker one from target and I am in love. Hopefully it will be as functional as the reviews boasted. DH was laughing at me because I had it unpacked and loaded with Sawyer's hospital stuff in like 10mins flat lol.
We have another growth scan this afternoon. I'm really hoping we get a good shot of his face this time. Last time he kept hiding and all she was able to give us was a picture confirming he was still very much a boy. That's great and all but I wasn't about to send that to the in-laws and my parents. They were disappointed when I told them that the tech wasn't able to get any pictures.

I got nagged by my OB yesterday to pack my bag. As he walks out of the room, he goes, "If anything happens this weekend, see you then!" Haha, doc. I like my practice, though, the docs' senses of humor match my own.
That said, my appointment was great. GBS negative and BPP went well. Baby has finally flipped head down and she cooperated with some 4D pictures. She is adorable! Has the chubbiest, cutest cheeks we are going to nom on for sure.
Today's another short work day: I have an appointment at 2pm across town (this time to draw up our will). I hate leaving early two days in a row, but all of it is necessary.

We actually had the scramble of packing on Tuesday morning when I was having irregular contractions. I threw stuff in a bag, but I know I forgot half of what I know I will want when I'm in the hospital. We will be working on that situation this weekend.
lizjennings81 glad you had a good appointment aggiebug I am jeaaaaaalous of your good nights sleep!
It's now 7:30 and I've been up since 2:30. H was snoring, loudly, again last night so I had to move to the couch. The second I woke up I was wide awake though. Awesome.
Not much going on today. I am heading in to H's office later this morning to do their books for 2014. I will definitely be getting Starbucks.
I hope it's ok to jump in here... aggiebug, that chai latte sounds amazing! I so want one right now... I had an appointment with my OB yesterday and she wasn't sure on which way the baby is positioned. Baby's been head down from 27w up until u/s at 32w, but suddenly at 34w she wasn't sure what she felt anymore...
I'm sure it will be ok, baby still has time to turn again and even if that isn't the case there are other options. She told me not to research anything though, I think she's afraid I'll get super nervous or something... Which I'm not, but I appreciate her concern gor my mental health
It just dawned on me this morning (or over night, who can keep the time straight at this point) that when we conceived DD I was actaullyon a 25 day cycle... which, when it really gets down to the nitty gritty may not mean shit... or it may mean that my due date is slightly off and this one could be coming on the 9th instead of the 12th... Ah, best to be prepared for anything, ... The last two nights I've been having tons of cramping and hardening of my belly so who knows, we may not even MAKE it to Feb!
aggiebug my DH is the same way. He basically forced me to pack my bags a week ago and insisted on putting them in the trunk of my car. I tried telling him there were lots of things I would need last minute and couldn't pack so now there is a list of those items next to my bed with their location written next to them. Hahaha.
lotsofdotts I do too. Not even for myself. I mainly miss it because DH is always sooo happy and carefree afterwards. He's been very stressed recently.
Not too much going on for me today. Meeting a friend for Mexican food at lunch. Trying to get SOME work done today so I don't feel like a total failure at my job. Then hopefully starting to get our dogs trained with the electrical fence DH installed this weekend. That should be interesting...our dogs are idiots...
aggiebug don't feel bad, I did most of my packing after my water broke, so definitely stay motivated today and get it all done early!!!
Honestly, I used about 1/3 of the stuff I had packed and I ended up being there for 2 extra days, and I thought I had packed lightly to begin with. I wear full face makeup and hair done everyday, and brought basic makeup to wear, but I honestly didn't open the bag once! (I did arrive at hospital with makeup on and hair done though... but I cried most of it off for pictures... happy tears, don't worry!)
Even as far as the clothes I brought for me, I brought yoga pants, 2 shirts, underwear, socks. Nope, didn't wear any of it. I wore a nursing nightgown or hospital gown the whole time. The last thing I felt like doing was putting on pants and a shirt!! (I might just be really lazy though). I brought three outfits for her, socks, blankets. Nope, they also supplied it all which made it so much easier. Yeah my stuff was cuter, but after the surgery I wanted easy more than cute!!
Morning all, jealous of anyone who can sleep. I feel like I've broken a hip anytime I lay down.
Had my 38+ week apt. yesterday and nothing. Doc was surprised how far up she still is. Guess we'll be making it well into February at this rate.
On the plus side DH dropped off a breakfast sandwich for me a little bit ago. Love that guy
If it makes you feel any better, my hips were having that same problem. It was SO painful. Rolling over in bed was so awful. As soon as Charlotte was born the pain went away almost instantly!!
Due to a variety of factors, I officially have an induction date. I'm really hoping to go into labor on my own before then though. Especially since MIL wants to come "help" that same week.
Also, my uterus has been renamed The Matrix as our last name is Anderson and we're having a boy.

I sympathize. Hip pain is a major reason I haven't been sleeping well and making turning over pure torture. Last night was an exception for some unexplained reason.

Hip pain is evil.
I was super crampy and my hips were just killing me all yesterday afternoon and last night. So far I feel better today, but I have a feeling by noon the discomfort will be back.
I brought my exercise ball to work to sit on since that seems to help at home.
