I need to write a paper today. I haven't even looked to see what it needs to be about & it's due Monday. But after I finish it, I'll only have one test left for the rest of the semester!!
Signed consent forms for OB to deliver baby yesterday. Omg.
I can't believe some of us have outside babies already. Is July really halfway over now? How did this happen???
amberlie I can't imagine going to school right now. I have a hard enough time making it through my work day when I'm just doing a variation of the same thing. Good luck on the paper and test!

You guys! My dd slept ALL NIGHT in her own bed. I'm in amazement. This also means I slept pretty well, too, since I didn't have to share my bed with her and H! However, I was awake with H's alarm and not able to go back to sleep, so I will probably be napping with dd this afternoon.
Pool time this morning/early afternoon, then after nap, hopefully I'll get some stuff moved out of the newly painted room, so that tomorrow when H is home, we can move the furniture!
Well, my car (which we just bought in January!) clunked out yesterday, and DHs is undrivable due to leaking transmission fluid... this after having just replaced the transmission in Hs car a month or so ago. Luckily I SAH, and my ILs live very close and have a ton of cars, so H can borrow one to get to work. Mine is fixable, and we think the part is still under warranty, but holy inconvenience! We think Hs is just a seal that loosened back up, so shouldn't be a big deal, hopefully... So we have that stress plus the stress of moving in a month or so. I think after this year we deserve a couple years of very low stress. I feel like I'm always such a downer lately
I have an OB appt and an U/S today to check on the baby's kidney, so I'm excited to see him again, AND to see how big he is now :-)
I had my first chiropractic appointment yesterday to try and get the baby to turn. It went well, but I don't think she has moved a bit. I have another one on Friday. If that combined with spinning babies and sitting on a ball don't work, I give up. I did sleep really well last night, so there is a positive. They also scheduled a RCS for me (hopefully I won't need it)for the 31st, but have stopped trying to get me in for an induction. Perfect scenario would be that she turns and I go into labor on my own on the 27th (the day after my parents arrive). that could happen, right?
amberlie, good luck on the paper, and those kittens are so cute! I wish they stayed that small. My two monsters are 30 lbs of clumsy, needy, furry trouble.

Still pregnant. they're sending me home since nothing interesting happened overnight. Contractions are still happening but they've slowed and I'm still only 2cm. Doc said he wouldn't be surprised if I go into real labor within the next 48 hours though.
I had a really nice evening last night, i met up with a few friends, then decided to go to the mall, I was just thinking of how these spontaneous hangouts/trips to the mall will be over soon. That's ok, I enjoyed it to the max I am just soooo anxious to meet my baby girl now. 4 weeks to go
Thinking of all the contracting ladies again today!
Thinking about all the new mamas we have! Congrats to our outside babies!!
I'm struggling with leaving work. I have 2 more half days and then will be on leave. Hopefully things will be easier when I am just gone and can disengage completely, but it's hard being a Type A workaholic. I know I have a job when I get back, but it's a struggle leaving. I cried and got mad at my boss last night because he was trying to be helpful by sending an email to IT about my email being forwarded. Dammit, I have it handled already, back off!
Had my 34 weeks appointment and when the doc told me my weight gain was good my first thought was going for some donuts and good coffee after this appointment! lol and they were good too!

So much action last night! I'll be thinking about the new outside babies and soon to be outside babies.
I have a WWYD. So someone who was one of my best friends is throwing her daughter a birthday (daughter is trying 9). It's right during DS's naptime.
My relationship with her has been almost non-existent since I had DS. While DS was a baby I would try to make plans like going to the park. I would either get a sure and then she would flake or a no. If we made plans for lunch during the work day, she would always have a good excuse why she couldn't make it. Once we rescheduled lunch 4 times. I decided I was going to be put as much effort into the relationship as she was (I was the one trying to make plans, reaching out, etc) which means we don't really see each other much unless DH makes plans with her BF.
The invitation to the party came from her ex-husband and DH already said he wasn't sure we were going to make it (DH is working so I would be taking DS) because of the nap issue. DS is a bit of a bear if he misses his nap and at 9 months pregnant I'm not sure I have the patience to deal with it).
Would you go? If I did, it would be a I'm-reaching out-gesture and trying to take the high road type of thing.
Sending positive vibes out to the Aug 15 universe today...thinking of all you ladies!
I slept with a pillow shoved under my back and hips and another pillow between my legs/under my belly...it was heaven. Good thing DH is so thin...I took up 2/3 of the bed. I haven't woken up not sore in so long. I thanked DH this morning for letting me have so much of the bed and he had no idea I had done anything differently. When I told him, he was like you big idiot, why did you go so long in pain?
I ordered a few things off of Amazon last night and joined Amazon Mom. In my birthing class they let us test out different massage tools and this thing was the best, excited to get mine this week for my hospital bag!
skinandbones I think its great you are trying to take the high road but I probably wouldn't go if it were me. I might still be fuming from my weekend so I'm all for not keeping up "fake" friendships at the moment. You guys were once friends but things change, people change and we all move on. It sounds like she was a friend for a while and now you guys are in different places. If she was constantly putting in effort and you were flaking, it'd be different. But it sounds like you have tried to make it work and the friendship has kind of run its course.
skinandbones, I wouldn't go either. She doesn't seem to be a very good friend and she has cancelled on you multiple times. I don't think you need to give a reason either, just we won't be able to attend thank you for the invite! I am sure she knows you are 9 months pregnant and have a little one!
@janetheconquerer, yes and we are freaking me out too ahhaha, I can't believe we are THIS close!!!!!!
skinandbones, I would not go. It sounds like most of the effort for the friendship is from you. The timing is inconvenient with your son's nap and I wouldn't go anywhere I didn't have/want to at 9 months pregnant! I barely want to leave the bed at this point. So unless you really want to, I'd skip it & wouldn't feel bad at all.

I'd probably skip it if it were me. She didn't extend the invite, and you've made every effort to maintain the relationship. It sounds like its time to let her go.
skinandbones, can you adjust his nap at all? DD is pretty set with her 12pm nap, but we had a similar situation last weekend, except it was my best friend's son. Party started at noon and they live 45 minutes away. We left at 11:15 and DD fell asleep in the car; she was still sleeping when we got close so we drove around for a bit and showed up about 15 minutes late. Her nap was a lot shorter than usual (only ~50 minutes) but that's better than nothing for her. And then she was so excited to play with the other kids that she really wasn't that crabby. I was hoping she'd be so worn out she'd nap on the way home too; she didn't but she was pretty tired by bedtime.
But if it weren't my best friend I'm not sure I would have attempted it because DD can be a little maniac when she misses her nap too.

@janetheconquerer, I'm still in denial myself, because my baby could easily be a September baby when all is said and done with an EDD of 8-31!! Although, if he follows big sis' footsteps he'll be a few days early, which is ok, too!

Thinking of all those having in contractions and/or in pain! I went back to sleep and finally got some rest, after the news about my brother (insomnia thread) I was in such a terrible mindset, I had the WORST nightmares. Like, I'm SO happy to be awake right now. That flood of relief when you wake up and realize everything was just a dream hit me hard! Jeesh. Now, I need to focus on some good stuff after my coffee kicks in - organizing lil' Jack's clothes, vacuuming his room (there's still styrofoam all over the carpet from putting his crib together) filling up his closet with his goodies, etc. I should also clean the house because... In laws. They come over every Saturday, and if I start now, I might be done by then!

Ethan and I are currently doing skin to skin. He's curled up on my chest. This little boy is so amazing. I'm so in love. Hoping big brother can make a visit today.
Months of my hormonal default being "rage," now I'm either full-tilt tears or full-tilt rage. I wish I could lock myself in a closet (which would be beyond uncomfortable so maybe a floating tank like a sensory deprivation tank, but with snacks and a television?) until new baby is here and I"m on the road to normal again. I'm tired of so many "what if's" and "what are you going to do about's" from everyone. Until it's actually TIME, I have no answers. And even when it's "time," and I"m living that life, I'll still have no answers and be doing my best to wing it and keep everyone fed and clean. Get off me already.
Also, the nursery still isn't painted because MH apparently has tendonitis now and can't do it. So I have to go get dressed now because someone's coming to give me an estimate -- 3 f'ing walls in a 10x17 room need painted, I have the paint and supplies already, and some people I called wanted $300+ for the job. SERIOUSLY? THIS is what the market bears for painting??? Not participating. Will put on a mask and do it myself before I pay $300. The guy coming today says probably less than $150, but he has to look. We'll see.....
So they're upping the monthly water club charge and I feel like it's because of me! I joined early in my pregnancy and it really has helped me to increase my water intake; I drink a TON of water now. Several coworkers have commented on how much water I drink and they call me a little camel.
DH joked that they were going to up the price because of me and I think he's right.
oopsiedaisies, yay for sleeping through the night! How is she doing with the potty training?
skinandbones, nothing and no one messes with DS' nap time, especially not a flaky friend. I mean one of DH's favorite cousins who we see maybe once a year is in town this weekend and we are seeing them morning and afternoon, but going home for nap. Especially now with a new little one about to disrupt things I would not take your son off his routine for a friend who isn't putting in the work on the friendship. If the party is scheduled to last long enough you could always see about showing up after nap time.
my random: DS really wants me to be done with pregnancy. He came up to me this morning and asked me to lift my shirt so that he could vacuum out baby brother. Ha! Not yet, kid, not yet.

Dude, there are groupons for less than that! It took me 2 weeks, but I got DD's soon to be new room painted myself. H said he wasn't helping, because I was the dumbass that painted the lower half black in the first place. Yup...black. DUMB...but I covered it with a pale pink in only 3 coats!
