I finally got a bit more packing done yesterday, plus grocery shopping, and today I am catching up on laundry and cleaning the house. I have an OB appt this afternoon, which I'm hoping goes well. DD randomly started singing the Let it Go song from Frozen, which she has only seen once, quite a while ago, so I'm not sure where she heard the song, but it's adorable.
tigger815, yea for baby day!! Will keep you in thoughts and prayers. And FX that your husband isn't sick but just really nervous about today (sorry, someone has to give him the benefit of doubt, I mean he's getting sick in the shower). Hopefully he pulls his shit together by the time you go in to have the babies!!
I work for an A/C company - my office is 110° because the chiller blew a fuse, I am sitting here doing nothing and sweating. Me no likey.
And my hubs came home the end of last week - the same time I opened a new toothbrush. Needless to say, I have no idea which toothbrush is mine and which is his.
I have a doc appt today AND they are going to do an ultrasound to check the baby's size and my fluid levels so I get to see our baby again! Yippee! I asked DH last night the best way to reach him in case they see something and decide I need to have this baby today. I think that freaked him out. I'm not sure he realizes the baby could come any day now! (or that it could be another month....) I plan on going to get a manicure/pedicure after and pick up some things at Target.
We have the nursery almost done, we just need to hang pictures on the wall. I'll put up some photos soon. I love it in there. It is the first room we have decorated in the house and it is lovely.
Is anyone else not feeling ANYTHING? Everyone is over here having contractions and braxton hicks and I am just here super hungry, with an insane nesting urge.
tigger815 big nope to your husband. I would have handed mine two aspirin, pointed at my belly and said "suck it up because I'm about to have 2 babies pulled out of me," and walked away. I think you're an angel for letting him sleep in as it is.
First, it should be physically impossible for us to get colds while pregnant. So annoying. Plus my husband yesterday was complaining still about his own cold, which is pretty much done. Dude, I just spent the day chasing our toddler around in 100+ degree heat. Let the pregnant lady have this one, okay?
Also, I'm rarely feeling hungry but have a constant compulsion to eat. And then nothing I can find to eat is satisfying. What is up with my body?
funhaven, I wish I could agree 100% with you but I have mild random BH when I get super busy and motivated. Other than that I am hungry all the time and on the verge of really nesting (right now I am on the edge, like I get a spurt of energy to clean something that yells at me then I sit down and eat ice cream)BUT I am not at the extreme side of the contractions like some of our ladies!

I think I felt one BH last week, but otherwise I am with you. It is adding to my delusional worry that I won't realize I'm labor and just give birth as I am just going about my day. (not that I really think that will happen)
Cannot believe how many babies are arriving...I'm still 6 weeks away from my EDD. My head is in the sand.
Not sure what we'll do today...DD has been fever free since Saturday, but still has some blisters in her mouth, which makes her cranky, and SO much fun to deal with. Hopefully, we can get out for a bit today
There is a daycare o the bottom floor of my work building. Today a kid was screaming and crying as his mom pulled him to the door. I almost said "me too kid, me too" because that is exactly how I felt about coming into work this morning.
Good luck tigger815, I can't wait to see pictures of the babies! Hopefully your H gets it together soon.

+1, except replace nesting with sleeping.
Same here, I am not feeling a thing, and am not super hungry, or super tired...just moody.
tigger815, good luck today! And wth, I wish I were there to smack your H, what is he thinking?
I mentioned yesterday that DS had to get stitches in his knee. (Poor guy, that was awful.) Now I'm stressing about money. Between the dog's surgery, DS's ER copay and what was already on the credit card it's nearly maxed out. Everything in our savings/emergency fund we've been saving for my hospital bills. I'm terrified to see what DS's ER bill is going to be, the Dr. had us take X-Rays even though it was obvious nothing was broken. But he's the Dr., not us and we hated to say no to something he was recommending. We've already been on a strict budget for a while now because shit just keeps coming at us constantly (first the hard drive died, then the lawnmower AND weed eater died at the same time, my car needed new tires, the list just keeps going). DS will start school two weeks after LO is born, we really need to get school supplies now, I'm not going to feel like doing it while recovering from a c-section. FUUUUCCCK shit is never ending.
Other than that I am hungry all the time and on the verge of really nesting (right now I am on the edge, like I get a spurt of energy to clean something that yells at me then I sit down and eat ice cream)
Me too! There's so much I still need to do and I'll get going but then my body shuts down in need of food or sleep.
Today's goal: tidy the house and finish shower thank yous.

I'm right there with you. I was totally starving yesterday. No contractions to speak of at 37+3, no dilation, no nothing. Nesting instinct is really strong though. I just want to clean/organize everything, which is good since there is a lot to do!
Happy double baby day, tigger815! It's my Grandmother's birthday today, I have always loved this date! jabs sorry life is so money stressful right now. Hope things start looking up for you.
Today is the first day that I have nothing to do. No schoolwork, no classwork for work, no appointments. Nothing! Feels so great. DD and I are just going to hang out all day, and there will be naps for Mommy.

funhaven, with DS I felt absolutely nothing until I was induced. Everyone on my BMB at the time was all "omg! Contractions! AHHH!" and I was just "uh. nothing going on here." This time around I'm feeling the random contractions and it's weirding me out a little!
tigger815 Hooray for squish arrivals today! Can't wait to see your birth announcement, hope all goes flawlessly (apart from your darling husband, who I can't help but laugh at -- as if you won't have enough babies to deal with today!).
@runningmonng519 What a great update. Yay for being able to put clothes on him!
Three pages in and it's only 9 am. We have a lot of random today. I creeped Julys MOTH threads and it took my back to the first few weeks with DD. I may have panicked a little bit thinkin about the exhaustion again. Momentary laps, everything will be ok ... just keep swimming haha.
Would it be bad if I killed DH? I'm the one having surgery today and extra anxious. He wakes up boo hoo-ing he needs more sleep. I've been up since 3:30 unable to sleep. I let him sleep for another 45 mins and get ready myself. First thing he says when I wake him. Ugh... I have a headache. Complains about getting up because he's tired and doesn't feel good. Now he's dry heaving in the shower. REALLY??? Apparantly I have an extra child today.
First day home from vacation and I have a killer headache. Daycare tour at 10 and the phone call with my boss to find out my fate with my company at 11ish. My house is kind of a wreck from H being alone all week and the intense construction that went on this weekend. So I get to spend the afternoon unpacking, doing laundry, and cleaning.
My week is pretty packed and exciting(ish) already. I have sub floors in the baby's room now and the new hardwoods will be put in this weekend! Baby dr in the morning for my last u/s and possibly GBS and first cervical check. Also, my baby shower is Sunday!

I've started a new pinterest board to keep track of ideas that I want for my new pantry...Just gotta get H on my side for the size of it. He thinks the size I want is too big...but I don't think so. He just doesn't get it.
tigger815, good luck today! And wth, I wish I were there to smack your H, what is he thinking?

Good luck today tigger815! Can't wait to hear an update.
I know it's been said before, but Unisom is seriously saving my sanity. With DD I was all "no meds except prenatals" and seriously agonized over taking Benadryl for allergies. This time I've been on at least 2 rounds of antibiotics, gone through probably a whole bottle of Tylenol, and unlimited Unisom. Poor second kid
So I spent the better part of yesterday in not just a pity party, but full on pity blowout!
It was hot, and we have no A/C. My in-laws are coming next week because our daycare lady is taking (a well deserved) vacation, but the house looks (and smells) like a landfill. I'm holding my husband's widdle hand through the process of researching and buying a 4 door car because he's afraid of dealerships. Because I'm enormous and my joints are made of jello now, I tripped and skinned the hell out of my knee at the playground and it still hurts. We've decided we're going to use Lora Jensen's 3 day potty training method starting on Friday because we're fucking masochists, apparently. Despite the fact that my baby shower is on Sunday (which I've had to do a fair amount of planning for), but husband is TOTALLY going to watch our son through the shower and it will be no big deal. I told him he needs to actually read the 40 page booklet and be 100% on board if this is going to work. I read it in an hour, with frequent breaks to watch our son. He made it to page 5. He says he'll do it this week. Uh huh. Oh, and here's 10 lbs of basil from the garden. Can you make it all into pesto tonight? kthanxbye.
And as we're going to sleep, my husband says "of course I'm there for you. All you need to do is ask for help."
Seriously? I need to ask? Does all the huffing and puffing and copious sweating and crying not give you a little clue? I'm dying here.
One bright spot: We took our son to his first movie theater yesterday to beat the heat. It was the Minions movie, which was very cute. He loved it every minute of it. He's also super excited about all his new underwear, so maybe this potty training thing will work out despite my husband's inability to ever fucking read a parenting book ever.
