Bringing my pee jug into l&d and getting checked out this morning. Then waiting to see if they will induce me due to pre-e or send me on my merry way. I really don't know what I would prefer right now.
Have stayed good friends via FB wth one of the moms from my March 2012 BMB that lives in AL sort of near me. She took her lethargic daughter to the pedi Monday and was sent immediately to Children's a few hours away. They found a softball size mass on her kidney (Kiddo is three! That's so huge!) and removed it immediately. Now she's been diagnosed with stage three kidney cancer. In six days time... I can't even imagine. I'm just so heartbroken for them. Praying for healing.
Yesterday I went to L&D to check to see if my water broke but what I didn't tell was the events that led up to me going.
I'm on this big "push me into labour" kick and so I decided to go on a big dog walk. So I packed my backpack with snacks and put my water bottle in the side pocket of the backpack and off I went! About 5 minutes in I felt a drip on my ankle and looked up but it was blue skies so I was super confused and thought maybe a tree just dropped water on me. Every 5 minutes or so I would get another drop on either the back or the inside of my ankle and I noticed my pants were wet so I thought excitedly that my water broke! I was on my way to my parents so I figured I would finish my walk and get DH to meet me there.
So I called DH at work and told him that I thought my water broke and he left work to meet me at my parents' and we would go to the hospital to get checked. And then I texted my sister and then I even texted funhaven that I was pretty sure my water just broke.
As I got to my parents' house I started thinking more and more about it and realized that the water bottle which was on my back was one that leaked... I took off my backpack and inspected the water bottle. There were a few drops on the outside of the bottle but it was still full. My pants were still really wet though so I figured that it was a 50/50 shot. I called DH to explain that this very well could be a false alarm.. and he insisted that we still go to get checked.
Low and behold, my water did not break. I went to the hospital because I sweat a lot and spilt my water bottle on myself which made me think my water broke. I obviously didn't tell them that had happened, I can only imagine being laughed out of there.. it would have been so embarrassing!
The worst (best?) part of it was that DH had already called his mom to tell her that my water broke and so after we learned that it didn't I told him that he should probably tell her that no baby was coming. He said "ya, I'll just tell her it was other stuff" hahaha I recommended that he not talk about my vaginal secretions with his mother and just leave it at "it was a false alarm".

Good morning. I'm grumbly too, but that's lifting as I drink my coffee. My in-laws will be here in an hour and I can't get off my butt to clean. As I rambled about in the Insomnia thread last night, I'm just going to take a shower and maybe put the dishes in the dishwasher. Oh well. Hubs and FIL are going out to buy a new car, I don't want to go because I hate salespeople, so I talked him into bringing his very logical, pragmatic dad. Score! It's gonna be 90 degrees here today, and stupid humid, which we can't complain much about because this has been a really nice (cool) summer so far. Yes, I really am this boring. Oh, I had a dream I was in labor last night, and hubs was trying to rub me with essential oils and had this huge sack of like, pain relieving gadgets and I just screamed at him to stop touching me. That was pretty funny.
Hit waffle house with H this morning. It was delicious but I was only able to eat about half of my food. so sad to leave most of a waffle. And after all the maple syrup talk the other day I am really intrigued I am packing my hospital and labor bags today because at 36 weeks I really need to get on that. And my one gripe today us that H has out a stop to ST because he's worried it will start my labor. I told him it will only start it if it was gonna happen anyway but he doesn't believe me.
oopsiedaisies hope she feels better and Fx it's not mono.
Today is my anniversary so H and I are going out to a nice dinner later. It's the first time I'll have been allowed to go out to eat in 3 months, I can't wait for all the food! Also, my baby shower is tomorrow. We had to cancel twice already so I'm really excited to be able to finally celebrate with everyone:)
Happy anniversary! Have fun at your baby shower! It sounds like you have a great weekend planned.
Forgot to take my sleeping pill last night and got the worst sleep ever. So much tiredness.
But during my insomnia I've decided that since we have no weekend plans, we need to redecorate (paint/style/etc) one of our downstairs baths. Because that's an awesome new project idea at 35 weeks pregnant, no?
Yes, I hear the crazy...
We moved into our house last year. One of my favorite rooms is the downstairs powder room -- which the previous homeowner ripped apart and re-did at 36w pregnant: new paint, new toilet, new sink, new mirror, NEW TILE FLOOR. So -- only kinda crazy :-)
I wish I was not awake st 6am on Saturday! SO had to work & I can't ignore his alarm clock.
I put all the kittens in their box this morning and stood the sides up over the top so that Arya could eat (they eat her food now every time I put it down for her). Well they started crying & she was too concerned that they were locked in the box to eat. So she jumped through the top and they all escaped within seconds. Ugh.
I have to go to SO's cousin's baby shower today. DNW. She went to mine (she's due 4 days after me) but mine was an event with her family where she knew everyone, plus they all brought her presents too! This one will be with her family, friends, & coworkers . So basically I'm stuck spending hours watching her open gifts with MIL & SO's aunt since there will be around 150 people at the shower. I'm just so uncomfortable at this point... wearing a bra causes serious pain around my breastbone bc of the nerve issues there or whatever it is. Why can't I just sleep
Gurrrrrl, I'd be showing up to the party and making a big show of affection and "ooh, I"m so excited for you, what a lovely party!" and then skedaddling out the back door. Play that pregnancy card. "Sorry I had to scoot, I just couldn't handle the [insert one of EIGHT MILLION plausible symptoms here.]

Well this is beyond awful. I'm terribly sorry for your friend and her poor daughter. Sending prayers for peace, comfort, and healing.

lemon200, as soon as I read "and put my water bottle in the side pocket," I started snickering. I'm sorry for the false alarm, but the story did make me giggle.
I'm caught up for now, I think - hopefully nights sleep or at least naps for those who need them. I was up from 1-3 and from 5-7, then got up at 8 with DD for the day.
I posted last night that nesting has really kicked in for me, so my house is all clean except: I need to sort/organize my home office, I need to DO SOME DAMN WORK for my job, and I NEEEEED to wash the wall going up the stairs. I also need to hang one mirror and two paintings in the master bedroom. THEN I'll feel done. Well, after MH rearranges some furniture for me, THEN I'll feel done. No progress on getting the nursery painted. Good thing I'm not concerned about getting that done before New Baby arrives. The "nursery nook" in our bedroom is ready, and that's all I care about.
I am so horrible at nesting, I only have two freezer meals made and cleaning: I just don't wanna. I have washed baby clothe but I have no where to put them. Maybe it is time to get off couch an adult today.
I'm doing the same. I've done big batch freezer meals forever. If you need pointers, lmk.
I don't even know what to ask or where to start, so if you can think of anything that might help me, just go ahead and throw it out there.
Write the instructions on the bags, then fold over the tops so that you don't gunk up the closure when putting stuff in. Put the bags in bowls so they don't tip when you put in liquid stuff. Add spices in the middle of the bag, otherwise they can adhere to the sides of the bag. Squelch the air out and freeze flat. Once they're frozen, you can use magazine organizers to stand them up.

As a cancer survivor and having worked with kids with cancer for years, my heart breaks for them. So many prayers.
I think I'm actually going to get out of the house today. SIL and a few of DH's cousins are going to Magic Mike and Fire and Ice for dinner after and invited me, but DH had committed to helping FIL rip out and rebuild an uneven brick patio so he couldn't be with DD. Well, it looks like it's going to pour rain all day so DH will be unoccupied after all!

I volunteered to help out with a trail clean-up today (part of a work networking thing) and I'm hoping its going to start pouring rain in the next 45 minutes so it will be canceled. Either way, I only plan on sticking around for a short while. But then I have to go to work. Boo.
Folks are starting to actually buy stuff off of our registry (yay!) so now I have stacks of boxes of baby stuff that I don't know what to do with. I don't want to unpack/unbox everything because we'll be moving soon. I can't even nest properly. Not that it matters. I'm too exhausted to do anything anyway.
I have no clue what's wrong with me. All my energy is gone. I'm taking at least one nap and then asleep by 9. Last night I was asleep by 830. I was up every 3 hours to pee, but then right back to sleep.
It's quarter after 9, I've been up for 15 minutes, and I just want to go back to sleep.
We are going to the store at some point today. Not much left in the fridge, but I have no idea what I even want to make for dinner this week.
In other news, I worked my last day of work until Oct, and I am excited to start nesting and finally getting my house organized. I need to do freezer meals, organize returns, and finally get a crib!
My heart hurts for the family with the cancer diagnosis. So sad to hear that.
We are packing up our rental today! Hopefully be ready to start loading up a uhaul late this afternoon!
And by we I mean MH. All I have done is try on my new grandma nightgown, make us breakfast, and do the dishes. I will get off the couch and help.....NOW!
