I have an appt today! Last sonogram, GBS test, and cervical check (which is optional but I want to know because I've been contracting quite a bit). I'm excited to see her one last time on the inside!
I have a pediatrician prenatal appointment, a regular OB appointment, and an ultrasound. I took the day off, and it really is so nice not to wake up to an alarm!
I'm back in the office for the first time in a week. Between my regular work from home days and a few extra WFH days due to my cold, waking up early and making the commute was brutal this morning.
On the plus side, it's employee appreciation week so I'm hoping for some free food to pop up at some point today!

Add me to the list of those with nearly nothing to wear!
Today is my last day of work for the week! DH and I are "babymooning" in the Finger Lakes at the B&B we stayed at for our honeymoon. I can't wait! We were going to leave really early to have the whole day, but then DD's daycare decided that 10:00am tomorrow would be a great time for their first ever party/performance/show/whatever.
So- thankfully my parents are going to come up for that and then just take DD home with them, so that saves us a little time.
This will TOTALLY get awkward though because DD asked for my MIL to come as well. And MIL hates that my parents get to babysit/drive/have my kid over night and she does not. She really, extra hates that she gets the dogs when we go away and my grandparents get my kid. There are many good reasons for this fact.

What is a ped prenatal appt?? Hope your appts go great!

DH's friend has woken up from his coma and is speaking. Very exciting. However, DH's step grandma (SIL's grandma) passed away. Dementia took her mind years ago and her body was left broken from a recent fall...
shoogars, so sorry to hear more bad news for your H's family but the news about his friend is promising! What a roller coaster he must be on right now though.
Flair Underwood, that sounds like a great trip and I love upstate at this time of year! I hope the IL drama is minimal tomorrow, but if not, oh well you're going on vacation!!
Well, I'm 75% sure this babe has moved transverse or breech again. Ughhhh. I called my doc and she moved my next appointment up to next Tuesday and said I should be researching spinning babies as much as possible. I'm also going to head to the chiropractor ASAP.
I am going to the chiropractor tonight and am excited about it!
My DS is still asleep and it's 9am-WHAT?!? Can this please happen when the baby is here?
I also miss margaritas. It's perfect patio sitting weather in Texas and it our anniversary, Mother's Day, DH's birthday, and more coming up, I wish I could celebrate properly.

I have no idea, ha! It's something the practice we chose does. I'm assuming it will just be like a well visit for me and gives me time to ask any questions I may have. I don't even know what to ask! I lost all the paperwork they sent too. I unloaded my purse before we left for vacation and can't find where I put the stuff.

txmommy14, enjoy your peace and quiet this morning!! I'm with you... all i want is a cold, cheap beer on the porch!
Dreaming, ack! Good luck getting comfy! We are only going for two nights, but i'm so looking forward to just some QT with DH. We haven't had good, quality down time in forever.
Kevinmac, we did a prenatal appt before DS was born and it was basically meeting the doc, getting a tour of the practice since it's large, and having the chance to ask any questions. They gave us a run-down of what would happen at the hospital and a schedule of appts for the first few weeks since there are a lot of them. We also got a swag bag with lots of pamphlets and samples!
Good luck to everyone at their appts today! I'm going to my neighbors house tonight for a cinco celebration. I think I'll bring some limeade for myself. I have 5 weeks left... Panic is starting to set in. I have not been nice to coworkers this morning and my patience is non existent. We also ran out of coffee, which lets be honest, is probably the root of all my problems today.
I am currently waiting for a massage! So I am so excited. I am still getting my three mile walks in just slower. I was a grump to everybody this morning. I can't fall asleep at night and damnit I am tired!!
Ahh we have to potty train DS. He's been asking to use the potty for the past several days and has had several successful pee and poop experiences on the potty. I'm not ready for this. I wanted to wait until after baby was here, but he had another time frame in mind!
I have one minor incident to vent about though. Yesterday evening DS asked to go to the potty, so I put him there. I then had to go to the bathroom, so I asked DH to watch DS because DS likes to put his hands on his butt (kids are awesome btw...). I went to the bathroom and then on the way back to where DS was, I stopped to get a drink of water. I then heard DH frantically calling to me to come help. I get into the bathroom and DS had successfully pooped on the potty, but then stuck his hands on his butt, so he had poopy hands. DH said he had no idea DS has pooped. Fun times!
Everyone going in for an appointment: Good luck today.
mladerri, if we were out of coffee today I'd have stayed in bed.
shoogars, thats so rough I'm sorry to hear about more tragedy in DH's family. I hope his friend fully recovers.
bighair12, a massage sounds perfect. Enjoy! My calves are currently cramping. This normally only happens to me when I'm in bed, I hope it goes away when I try to walk.
I've slept horribly the past 2 nights. I got the TDAP on Monday and my shoulder is red, hot, and swollen and hurts. So, I can basically only lay on one side now and it's impossible to sleep.
On a positive, I have 4 pairs of shoes coming today from Amazon so I'm hoping they fit! One is just to replace my favorite flip flops and 3 are for work and hopefully a wedding I have coming up in a couple of weeks. All of my current shoes are so tight and uncomfortable by the end of the day or are heeled/wedges that are getting harder to walk in. I've been getting away with wearing Toms, flip flops, and dealing with uncomfortable work shoes the rest of the time.

Dreaming, thanks! I am frankly a bit worried that an early induction is the direction I'm headed because this started very quickly - my BP was totally normal a week ago, but now it's consistently high in the 130-140/85-90 range, and I have a headache that won't go away regardless of what I do. I'm glad that baby has cooked this long, but DH and I are currently in full freak-out mode about the possibility of an earlier-than-expected delivery. I have a HUGE amount of work on my plate and had been planning on working right up until my due date, but I think I need to talk to my coworkers and work out some alternatives. I can't focus on anything right now.
aw, I'm sorry, not my intention! I was going to say that it could be soon enough, but then I read your most recent posts about BP and work obligations...luckily enough we are nearing the final countdown? Margaritas for all in July?

Met with a new babysitter just now. The kids are in love! We loved her too! So happy! We asked her to come tomorrow so we can go to the hospital tour! She also said she would be on call for when I go into labor if we wanted! Yay!
