Safe kids just called to say there was a computer error that let us set up a car seat check tonight. Our appointment is more next Thursday. We can't make the one this Saturday morning because of a baby care class we're going to. The scheduler told me to call if I have the baby before next Thursday and she'll try to arrange to have a tech meet H before we leave the hospital.

So, my having kind of a rough day. My dog is really sick again. She's had an upset stomach for a few days, and it's been getting worse and worse. So last night, we sort of blocked off the kitchen so she'd sleep there. We woke up to blood on the floor. I think she's actually pooping blood. I'm working from home today so she's not alone and we're going to the vet in a few minutes here. I'm so nervous that this is something bad. She's been really supervised lately, though maybe she ate some racoon poop or something? I just hope it's nothing serious. I'm bordering on tears this morning.
FX it's nothing jgesi. I had a terrible headache last week and on day 2 my OB sent me to L&D and then the ER. 5 hours later and I left with a UTI diagnosis and the same headache. I'm glad they identified the UTI (I had no symptoms), but was annoyed that it could have been taken care of at my OB's office.
hurricaine FX for your dog! I hope it's just eating something!
jgesi glad they're getting to see you, FX for a low reading.
I forgot to add earlier that I think the baby dropped some. It's really hard to tell by looking because I have such a short torso, but I can breath so much easier. Lately when I'm closing a loan I get out of breath talking through the documents, but I was just fine this morning. I've also noticed an increase in pressure this morning in my hips and pelvis.
elvenqueen, That is crazy! I can't believe how close we are all getting! Hope you can get in a date night before then.
A date night didn't even occur to me! DSD is still visiting family in Wales until Saturday so I guess tomorrow is our absolute last chance for something just the two of us. Thank you for the romance reminder
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.
I'm so pleased you're both doing well and weren't separated! Not sure if I missed it in your announcement or other updates, but how much did he weigh at birth?
hurricaine, i'm glad you are on your way to the vet soon I hope everything turns out ok and like you said maybe just an upset tummy from something he ate. Hugs

I ate a huge pile of seasoned fries for lunch, started to feel REALLY ill and threw them all up. Painfully. The embarrassing part? I wasn't thinking about all the ketchup I had dipped them in, and I thought I was throwing up blood. Good thing Pregnancy Brian was there to hold my hair back.
Phone interview at 2 pm today. Took the whole day off just to relax and get things done around here. Nervous about how to handle the logistics of a possible 2nd in person interview but let's get through 2pm first. Cross fingers please! Current job is just the worst!

runningmommy519, your update made me a little testy this morning. Glad you and Ethan are doing so well.
hurricaine, I really hope your dog is ok. That sounds kind of scary, but hopefully it's nothing.
And I hope everyone else who is feeling crappy and having contractions feels better soon!
My random is that I got an iced mocha from Timmy's this morning and now I feel like crap. I never drink things with that much sugar and I haven't had a lot of caffeine since being pregnant. I am regretting my moment of weakness.
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.
Um... How did you do that??!
The sleeping all night? I'm thinking it was due to not feeling well at this point. She has been cuddled to me since she got up and taken an hour nap already. And won't eat.
hurricaine, keep us updated on what the vet says. I have my FX.
@piedpiper07, Holy cow that is big news. FX that LO stays put and that you can find some really good TV to watch to pass the time. I would totally put myself on bedrest too!
2dumbdogs, Hoping for the best with your interview! You got this!

Whoa, @piedpiper07! Crazy appointment, but kinda exciting! take it easy, though! oopsiedaisies, hope your DD is feeling better soon, poor bug. hurricaine, I'm sorry your pup isn't well. elizabethnevadap, my throat hurts for you, barfing up the fries. Ugh.
Painter's quote: $400, will take two days. TWO DAYS to paint THREE WALLS. Granted, they're navy blue, semi gloss and truly there's a lot of drywall work that SHOULD be done to get rid of seams and tears from stickers on the wall. Plus, the navy paint was a DIY job by the previous homeowner and she slopped all over the trim - which he said they'd fix, too. But seriously? Gah. I was looking forward to spending that money elsewhere.
Have you tried Craigslist? We've gotten great workers for so much cheaper there- people who work for themselves and can eliminate overhead. $400 seems like a lot!
FFTC - I just ate 3 empanadas, and it wasn't even my lunch (1 pork, and 2 dulce de leche with cheese). Why do I always do this on the day of a dr appt (weigh in)?
I feel like I need to know more about these dulce de leche empanadas. Are they dessert empanadas with cheese? What's on the inside? I don't even know what they are but I think I need one.
lawndog1216, $400??? How far are you from CT, hell I'LL come paint the damn walls. That's crazy, I'm sorry
Uh same!...seriously...I'll have to post pictures. I just painted over BLACK, where I wasn't the best about the trim, and you cannot tell that the black ever existed in there.

It apparently seems to be the norm for our area... I checked Groupon, and it was $159 for one room up to 12x14x9, but only includes 2 coats and no dry wall or trim work. By the time those things are added on, that's still going to be $300-$400.
And now I really, really want a FRESH cheese danish because someone said something about a dulce de leche empanada with cheese.

Good luck and good vibes to all the ladies having a rough go of it lately.
I feel like this baby is stretched out as far as she can go. I feel movement from vag to boobs. And i have a feeling she's still breech. Hopefully she still has room to change position.
OB appointment tomorrow morning. Hopefully my bp is down and urine is still clean, because the swelling has gotten worse. And I've been nauseous and dizzy. But that could just be from the Tdap. That's what I'm going with

How many coats did you do?
I did 3, with Valspar's Quick Hide. I soaked my roller, and you can see in the pix that I posted, that my walls are super textured. A gallon of it was like 14 bucks. And I used 1 entire gallon and a quart.

Thank you all so much for your kind words! It means so much that you're all so supportive
The doctor *thinks* it's a gastrointestinal thing. So, she's on antibiotics, some weird chalky stuff, a gastrointestinal food (that we'll slowly re-introduce her to), and basically she shouldn't be pooping again in the next 24 hours, and it should clear up. If not, we'll need to admit her to the vet hospital for an IV treatment, and get more diagnostics. We have lots of racoons and some rats in our neighbourhood. There is a good chance that she's gotten into something. Fingers crossed that's all it is.

**whine alert** DH just informed me that his little brother (18) will be coming tomorrow for the weekend. Ermmm... 3 things
1. This means I need to wear pants this weekend. Dammit.
2. BIL can be fun sometimes and other times he can be a real douche. I really hope fun BIL comes; otherwise I'll put douchebag BIL in his place and throw up the deuces REAL fast.
3. Our place is a mess. Like it looks as if someone just scattered baby gear alllllll over the 1st floor. We've been receiving packages and haven't had time to go through anything so it's just taken over the whole living area. GAHHH... I DON'T WANT TO CLEAN TONIGHT AFTER WORK. I WANT AN ICE CREAM BAR AND MY BED.

On #3.
DH better get his butt into gear and HE can clean the house. This is last minute and it's his guest. You just sit in bed and eat your ice cream, he needs to clean up.

Speaking of whining, has anyone seen "Whine About It" with Matt Bellassai??? Basically it's a guy who gets drunk at his desk at work every Wednesday and then whines about something. Yesterday he talked about how kids are the worst and I died.
tmclawchick, Haha I love that video series! I would love to be in that production meeting "so I have this idea, where I drink a bottle of wine at work and then whine about things.." I want this job!
