goofygoff one of my fave past times is going shopping dx super bowl. I highly rec. I probably would if we weren't already planning a trip to the outlets this coming sat when my sister visits.
Omg i shaved. Everything. That was exhausting. I'm wearing capris since I'm running out of pants and think i just may attempt to paint my toes.
empirerecords24 I am right there with you on the butt cramps! My hips and my butt muscles constantly feel so fatigued. I can't just walk around rubbing my butt and I can't lay on my tummy so dh can rub it for me! jennyp0222 Congrats on Dh's promotion! It may be rough in the beginning but it means good things!
I finally got to sleep at 3:30 this morning and slept a solid 5 hours! Then a quick trip to pee and DH let me sleep for 3 more! I woke up to coffee cake and DH and dd cleaning the living room (because I asked them to last night) so I will be able to vacuum all the nasty dog hair that is everywhere! I have been having some minor cramping since last night but I'm sure everything is just BH because there is no bleeding or any other symptoms.
And I'm on the Northern edge of the Illinois snow storm. We're supposed to get 10-12 more inches in a "blizzard" this afternoon. We'll see if there is school tomorrow.
We are going to a Superbowl party today and I said I would bring something. Went to the store at 11:30am and there were no parking spots. People were literally waiting for spots. I turned around and came home and then started bawling crying. My H was like, "Its not that serious." But of course once you're on a crying streak it snowballs into everything else you are overwhelmed/stressed out over. He said, "We don't have to go to the party..." And my response through tears was, "But I want to eat all the food." Ahhh...hormones. I've pulled myself together now.
ETA: I'm 35+2 and the past week I feel like is the most hormonal I've been throughout the whole pregnancy. Must be short timer syndrome.
I was just texting with my labor buddies about this (the hormones.) I'm totally in agreeance that all of the sudden, this week, I just feel like I'm a hot mess. I started crying last night to my husband because my DD went to bed so easily (like she always does) and I was like, "But what if the new baby isn't a good sleeper? What if we're tired for the next five years? What if we don't get to have date nights because the baby won't sleep? How are we going to stay friends with our friends with two kids? It works with one, but maybe not with two! (We don't have any friends with kids-- all of our pals are planning on being kidless for good.) What about my career? Is this maternity leave just shooting me in the foot at the wrong time?!" Just an emotional, overwhelmed wreck, which is the opposite of "normal" me, so I'm totally blaming hormones.
Re:birth announcements. I totally agree with mango I was wondering who shares the birth stories with your SO? I share them with my DH and as a first time parents I think its really helping both of us, we bond over the births as we prepare for ours, and its totally helping my DH understand the realm of possibilies. I cant get my DH to sit down and watch anything lengthy, but he reads the stories with out complaining.
ETA bonus points if you share pictures of your squish with something to help size the baby- like your hand. My DH likes those pictures the best.
ruemorgan That's totally an annoying situation to be in. I'm with you in avoiding drama mamas like they carry the plague.
peep I had a similar experience when booking my hospital tour. The woman on the phone told me only the mother and father could come on the tour. After I hung up, I just kept thinking: what about lesbian couples or what about a single mom who wants to bring her mother. It didn't seem that inclusive.
babys2015 The Broncos destroyed me. I hinged all of my hope on them midway through the season when both the Jets and Giants decided that they don't play football anymore.
chilibeansm0m I'm insanely impressed with your ability to shave everything in one sitting. I have to chip away at the shaving at each shower session, or risk being horribly out of breath. This is possibly because I only have standing showers in my house and no tubs.
Add me to the peanut butter every damn day club and the unusual sleep hours/waking club.
AFM I have morning sickness.... WTF. I don't even understand how it's possible, but I haven't kept down breakfast this week. And every meal I have makes me nauseous/overfilled. I'm praying I have some weird stomach bug that'll go away. But the docs think that its just all the pressure the LO is putting on my internal organs since I haven't "popped" as much as most women my size. So my body better get its act together, because I am not doing 7 more weeks of this BS.
Ok, so random #2 (no pun intended…) -- this article popped up on FB today. Pro-tip: have your doc prescribe you a stool softener and take the max dose at max frequency until those bitches run out. I think I was on them for a month, and no horrible, blog-worthy, armaggedon-esque "first poo"
My kitty took a turn for the worse today, so we're taking her to the vet in about an hour. I'm going to ask if there are any other options, but we've done this song and dance dozens of times with her and know they will recommend surgery or euthanasia.
Surgery is out as an option, so I guess my day is very likely to get shitty.
So there was a Harry Potter event at Universal Studios this weekend that I had planned on going to until I decided that I would be too pregnant to enjoy it.
One of my FB friends went and posted pictures of herself meeting Luna, George, Fred, and Dumbledore! Makes me wish I had just sucked it up and gone. : ( I have an annual pass.
Dude, there is very little I can pack in my bag right now, besides stuff for the baby. I am still using that stuff, yo.
I don't think there's any rush... As I predicted, it took me less than 20 mins to pack both bags. My family and my OB nurse were both just all over me this week about it- I live less than 3 miles from the hospital so it's not like it'd be apocalyptic if H or my mom had to come by to get something, my mom even has a key. They're just antsy.
DD1s has 5 outfits/undies/socks, a jacket. Someone will have to grab her bedtime puppy & blanket. She's got vitamins, a tooth brush, bedtime diapers and a bottle of her allergy meds at my moms already.
I have sample sizes, spares or bottles with only a little left of my toiletries. Other than that I tossed in old slippers, old flip flops, old socks/underwear/old bra, 2 night gowns, 2 pants and a tank & long sleeve shirt. Almost everything I'm bringing for me is ratty or old, last time I lost my favorite sweats to hospital laundry, so I'm packing with that in mind. I also added DD1s super sister shirt and an extra charger. All I need to add are the baby's coming home outfits, which I haven't washed yet.
DH can pack his own, or Hades forbid, he could come home to shower and change.

pele I'm so sorry you have to deal with this and about your poor kitty!
I've thought about packing my go bag but that's about it. I'm almost positive I will have to do laundry right before I go to the hospital in order to pack my bag. I know I can pack up the baby stuff, DH is on his own and I hadn't even thought about having to pack for younger DD. She will be pretty easy though, so I'm not that concerned. I'm more concerned about still having to tell my mom that I want her to stay home with younger DD instead of going to the hospital with us.
So... IDK wth is going on but my pelvic pain is... Gone. Like, almost completely. I hope he didn't flip breech or something. And my sex drive -- thru roof. And my skin (which was so bad it scared my midwife) is clearing up/healing....
HOW ARE THINGS GETTING BETTER AT 34 Wks??? Calm before storm!??
I ended up going in to L&D at about 11pm last night. I was having contractions on and off all day, way more than normal. I didn't call until so late because none of them were painful so I assumed they were just BH but I decided after my 4th BM that I wanted a second opinion on whether or not I should go in. After explaining what had been going on, the nurse tells me "hmm...well if you want to come in you can" I live an hour away from the hospital and I'm calling to see if you think I should come in or not?! Long story short, she got a second opinion and told me to come in. They hooked me up to the monitors and told me I was contracting a lot and I was dilated to 1. They gave me meds to stop the contractions that kicked in pretty quick. I was discharged at 2am and was just excited that it looked like babies are staying put for now and that I was able to get some sleep!
