Im wide awake at 5 am. Between my husband snoring, dd1 kicking me all night and my hips absolutely killing me I think I can safely say goodbye to sleep...forever it feels like.
Im probably gonna be a grump today.
I hope everyone's weekend goes well though, anyone have any fun plans?
earthian - I ended up buying two more extra firm pillows to try to help with the pelvic and hip pain. It's maybe a little better but I still groan like an old man trying to get out of bed. Hope you get a quality nap in today or early bedtime tonight!
AFM, I'm currently sitting in the airport watching it snow like crazy while waiting for my flight to Denver. Our baby shower is tomorrow! So far the flight is on time and hoping it doesn't get delayed.
earthian I feel your pain. I'm up at 5am on a Saturday because my body can't seem to grasp the concept of a full night of sleep any longer. Yay insomnia!
Good thing I'm slotted for a prenatal massage today!

I'm with you on the pain, too. Hips and back.
I'm laying here trying to think up a convincing argument to get DH to take me to Babies R Us. I don't really need anything, I just want to go I'd go alone, but it's two towns over and the last time I tried to do it myself I got really really lost. Even with GPS. I'm special like that.
DD has swim classes at the Y on Saturday mornings but she's getting over a cold and I don't want to expose her germs to others (and vice versa), and I don't want her to have the chills that come with getting out of the pool, so we are not going this morning. I can't say I'm sad because the swim classes are a lot of work, particularly the drying off and getting dressed part. I'll be happy to be lazy in my pjs watching some toons with her instead!
I am with everyone on the pain! My hips haven't been bad but holy Moses my back! it hurts no matter which way I'm laying or standing or sitting. I cannot get it to go away! Its snowing like crazy here today so looks like another day of pajamas and laziness for me.
Good morning all! I didn't sleep well- have had the worst gas/bloating since yesterday and woke in pain. My back is killing me and I wish I had seen my chiropractor yesterday. In my sleep I was having Braxton hicks like contractions...in my back. WTF what is that?
On the bright side I get my hair done today and we plan to have a friends date tonight and go see American Sniper.
I've been up since 5AM.... thankfully though I only got up twice to pee last night. I'm gonna count that as a win... between a stuffy nose and not being able to get comfortable I've been up at 3 the past few nights.
Not much going on here this weekend. H is leaving on Monday for a couple day work trip... So I'll be all alone next week.
We got our maternity pictures in last night and they look really good.... Here's my favorite outdoor one:
skrittens how do i make mine do that! I want bacon in bed i just discovered that my irrational hatred of the noises H (or anyone really) makes when he eats is actually a thing! Misophonia apparently. He literally makes me want to throw stuff at him when he eats especially when he succeeds in waking me up by eating in bed D:
H is currently on his way home from work with a bagel, for me. Yay! I'm having lunch with an old friend and that's about it, for me, for today. I think H wants to get some things from Target and maybe we'll grab dinner. Hopefully we'll start getting the house cleaned up a bit, too after yesterday's debacle.
I was up for a good 1.5 hrs last night. Our puppy pooped on our bed, and it was not fun to deal with. Then I couldn't go back to sleep. Now I'm up and still tired because of that wonderful night time interruption. Of course H and the dogs are still fast asleep.
My mom stayed with me the past 2 nights because h was on a rare business trip. She insisted but I don't mind. I feel bad having her shovel with a bad back, but what can you do?
I can't sleep that well either. I roll over a million times a night and even though I fall back asleep I never wake up feeling refreshed. Oh well.
I'm also going to help my mom get ready for the shower tomorrow since no body could come to help. She doesn't want me to but I don't mind.
riversong dealing with doggie accidents in the middle of the night is no fun. Hoping you can catch up on some sleep today. (naps aren't just for kids anymore )
Everyone enjoy your showers today!
There's another H who works with my H whose wife is pregnant and due a couple weeks after me. A while back he sent my H a message I stumbled upon by accident asking if he wanted to help throw a joint shower for us since no one else probably would. (which sounds worse than it is. Army post, home is a ways away) Anyway, my H was not about it. I'm in the camp of second baby, no shower. BUT, I thought it was so sweet her H went out of his way to think about it and want to plan it on his own.
Random: I ordered a TON of stuff from Walmart clearance yesterday. A few hours later all the prices shot back up. I'm talking I paid $65 for 24 items that later cost $188 and a second order of $35 that was more than double after. Now the order is still processing and I'm hoping they don't cancel it in case it was a glitch of some sort. I placed a second order with maternity stuff for my hospital bag and 2 items have shipped, but everything else is in limbo. Fingers crossed because, well cheap baby & maternity stuff is always a win...
skrittens I hope that you enjoy your shower today. And FX for everyone having showers this weekend that the weather cooperates. jennypm Sorry to hear about the plumbing nightmare. I hope it doesn't cost too much to fix the ceiling.
Had an appointment yesterday and everything is looking good. Little guy is already head down. My MIL came with me and heard his heartbeat for the first time. She got really emotional (1st grandchild). I'm glad I got to share that with her.

Morning all! Re sleep: things have gotten much better since my husband decided to permanently sleep in another room. His snoring was keeping me up and my incessant poking of him was keeping him up. I miss morning snuggles though and I'll still wake up for bathroom visits.
I have a huge pile of papers to grade and lesson plans to do. I forgot my computer charger at work so I have to buy another one since I always leave my charger at work. It's snowing too hard for me to drive though so I guess I'll be grading all day today and planning all day tomorrow. I am counting down the days until maternity leave.

Morning everyone! I also slept horrible last night. This morning when I went for my 7am pee I turned on the light in the bathroom and there was a roach that then charged me aggressively and chased me out of the bathroom screaming. I haven't ran in a while so that was an experience. Ugh bugs. Ew ew ew. SO was convinced that my water had broke or something was wrong and had to come kill said roach. I have only seen one other roach here before and it was outside the property so now I'm paranoid. Landlord has been called. BUGS MUST GO.
skrittens I hope you have a good shower and the storm doesn't effect it too much!!!

Good morning ladies! Add me to the not getting enough sleep group. Last night it was because my DS woke up crying at 3 am and 5 am instead of me having to turn over/pee. Which is really odd as he has been STTN for quite a while now. Of course my H slept right through it.
Hope all of you with showers today have a great time and the weather doesn't cause too much of an issue.
I'm having the sads today because a local mom group said I couldn't join them. They are part of MOMS & their bylaws require that members live in a specific zip code. Well, I live about 5 min outside of their zip code & there are no moms groups in my zip code. She was like "let me know if you want information on starting your own chapter!" Umm no thanks. I work 32 hr/wk & I'll be moving away when my kid is 15 months old. I know it's not her fault, but it sucks. My only other options to meet local moms, it seems, are religious moms groups that meet at churches (not happening), or LLL. I looked at MeetUp, too, but there are only groups for young moms, or moms > 35... or multiple moms, or other groups I don't fit into.

Oh the hip pain!! It's so terrible I feel like all I do all night is flip flop from my left to my right side. And then once they both are done I have to prop myself up with my 10 pillows. I kicked my H out of our bedroom months ago because I couldn't deal with his snoring and being an uncomfortable pregnant lady.

Oh that's so crappy! Have you looked into baby classes at like MyGym or Gymboree? It's hard meeting mom friends. My DS is 3 and I've really only made one close mom friend and then she moved away!

Add me to the no sleep camp, this kid decided she would party all night. Her movements are so big, and she's running out of room so everything is felt. H thought it was hilarious.
34 weeks today, yay. Only 5 weeks and 2 days to go. My sinuses/allergies are going nuts the last few days. I'm hoping it doesn't turn into anything.
Kids have their birthday party today, and they are beyond excited. We have a few errands to run before the party, and I can't get motivated to get out of my bed. I've decided if FIL tries to talk to me, I'm just going to ignore his ass. I refuse to tell him our induction date until H has talked to him about our "only us" rule. I've decided I'll inform the nurses of this too, b/c I wouldn't put it past him to try and show up anyways.
I have to go back to the hospital today for my second steroid shot. I am not looking forward to it. Those mothereffers hurt! Holy hell! I got them last time, too, and I remember it hurting, but they gave me my first one yesterday and I was like WTF KIND OF LAVA DID YOU JUST SHOOT INTO MY ASS?!?!?!
Anyway. They may or may not monitor me for more contractions today, but I'm hoping not. I'm still having them on Procardia so at this point I just don't know what else they can do.
