H says DS woke up a couple times last night because he was constipated and was having trouble staying asleep. He never wakes up at night so its pretty clear he was super uncomfortable. He told me he pooped this morning and felt better so that is good.
I started my new shift at work this week and have been dragging because I am getting up at 4:30 am instead of 5:30 now. Today is the first day I feel even slightly normal. I really like getting off earlier in the day though, I can actually eat dinner at a reasonable time.

Dentist appt this afternoon, boo. I've been bad with flossing. Because lazy and can't lean over the counter like I used to.
There's a mall near the dentist, so I'm going to see if I can find a few accessories and a shirt for DS for our maternity shoot this weekend. Here's my inspiration (thank you Pinterest!):
Days like this I wonder how I'll make it another month. Baby is wedged into my pelvis, but also pushing his butt out against my stomach and moving side to side. So uncomfortable, but the 2 year old needs to do things other than watching tv all day.
Sleep sucks here too. I slept about 8 hours, but my Fitbit says I was awake 3 times and restless 23 time! Accurate because I wake up with achey hips at least every hour and have to roll over.

Blaaaah ob in surgery they rescheduled me for next Wednesday. Grrr I wanted to see my baby boy! And my vag is super freaking swollen on the left side and I wanted to discuss with her. Oh well. I'm still going down the mountain for lunch.
comicSans I just ordered a Fitbit yesterday and was thinking it would be interesting to see my sleep patterns....but at the same time it would probably just make me sad haha. And those achey hips, ugh. They're the main reason I can't sleep in anymore, towards the end of the morning no amount of switching from side to side helps with the pain!
Am I crazy for planning on potty training DD 3 weeks before baby is due? I wanted to wait till DS was done with school and I figured if she regresses when baby comes we'll most likely be home for a couple weeks. Idk if it'll be easier to do it before or after, ugh. She seems like she's ready.
We still don't have a new move in/out date. They were supposed to talk to whoever is in charge of that decision two days ago but he has yet to call them back and anytime I ask what's going on I get "I'll try calling him again tomorrow." I just want them out so that I can have space to breathe and relax these final few weeks of pregnancy with time to set everything up and be alone with H just the two of us, and my mom and her bf don't seem to have the same sense of urgency.

I'm due the 26th and I plan to start PTing DS about four weeks before that. I also wanted to wait until school was over so we could be home. FWIW my DS is almost 2.5, and I'm not going to stress about it if it doesn't go well.

It is interesting, and confirms that I'm sleeping as poorly as I feel I am. More Han once I've given up by 5, but then I'm able to fall back to sleep on the couch and that feels a bit better on the hips. The good news is, I'll probably sleep better with a newborn.
So this is most likely just a FTM thought, but seeing the photos last night of Coco and her baby made everything that much more real for me. She was due within days of me, so looking at her sweet baby girl it was amazing to think that Sam is around that same size inside of me right this very moment. I can feel him moving around and running out of room and read every week the update on his size, but being able to see what he might look like if he came out right now completely blows my mind! I was never one to look at pregnancy as some incredible miracle until I was the one going through it, and now I can't get over just how amazing the whole thing is.

H is driving me crazy. His "paternity leave" to help with the house and kids is exactly what I expected, him chilling on the couch letting the kids watch Netflix or play upstairs while I try to nap. That's all fine and great, except he just plays video games rather than getting them out of the house or keeping them active or helping with anything around the house. If I say anything he gets all pissy that I don't appreciate him watching them so I can relax. Dude it's not that relaxing to have them running amok upstairs sounding like stampeding elephants. It's beautiful outside, take them to the park or pool, that's what you promised you'd do while on paternity leave.

I feel this pain. For the last few weeks, I feel like I am sleeping about the same as when J was a newborn, with all the wake ups and rolling around. Most nights, I sleep from 9-midnight, then roll around like crazy the rest of the night. If I wake at 2am and cant sleep, I usually go out to the couch and can get a couple of hours out there.
Hugs housecarder, that would drive me bananas. My H does that on the weekends sometimes. He will say he is going to get J out and about so I can rest, but then ends up sitting on the couch watching tv while J chases me around the house.

And he wonders why they are "whiney" and bickering so much. They are bored! A 4&6 year old cooped up everyday isn't going to go over well. Some mornings he even falls asleep so I get the kids coming in to wake me up because they can't wake him up. I try to lay on the couch rather than in my room so I can kinda help manage, but some days my headache is so out of control that I have to go lay down. But I think he takes me laying on the couch as a sign that him chilling on the couch is ok. No, I'm on freaking bedrest here. You aren't.
My H doesn't work until 1 today. He came downstairs about an hour ago, ate some breakfast, and he's now passed out on the other couch...I kind of want to throw something at him. Last night I told him I want him to take some of the items from the "office" upstairs and put them in the garage so that we can have space to build some of the baby furniture and he said he would do it before work today. Suuuuuuure you will.
I have officially reached the point where there is absolutely no comfortable sitting position at work. I feel like all I do is shift in my chair alllll day. Its going to be a long 6-ish weeks...
mcktymck, I had the EXACT same thoughts looking at coco's pictures!! It made things feel very VERY real all of a sudden. I'm sooo excited to see this little face soon!!

Same! I spend a lot of time daydreaming about what he will look like
You guys, I need to AW a gift that just came in the mail for Sam! A gf of mine from CT (she's originally from VT) sent him a VT teddy bear and I love it! I've already decided we'll be taking Sam's monthly photos with it And the coolest thing about the bear is that it comes with a lifetime guarantee. If anything happens to it we just send it back and they fix it, and if for some reason they can't fix it they'll send us a replacement for free. Also, it came with a little package of soft caramels which is just plain awesome haha
