My goal for the day is to clean up our bedroom. Its been an absolute mess since we came home from the hospital. Thankfully my mom is here and she's keeping the rest of the house clean.
It took me over an hour to write this. I have a very hungry boy this morning!
It has sucked not having our wireless internet working for the last week but DH finally fixed it last night! yay!
38 weeks today and feeling huge. As much as it sucks getting up everyday to go to work, I hope he waits until his due date or after to make his appearance!
DH and I are going to BJs to do some shopping to stock our freezer today. Then I have to organize all my sub plans for maternity leave. That's going to take awhile!
Went out for tacos tonight. First place we went had a long waiting list, so we ended up at the place across the road. I think the second place is better anyway. Shame that we were the only people in there until the last 15 minutes of our dinner.
I'm trying to keep myself distracted from the fact that I'm very pregnant and uncomfortable. H is trying his best to help...mostly by taking me out to eat the most wonderful food. We also walked Target last night for a while (I wanted to re-up on my Halos oranges. Everything is food motivated for me at this point).
Here are my red velvet and cream cheese pancakes from this morning:
I just ate a ton of chicken pot pie for lunch followed by a nice little bowl of popcorn, and my husband is downstairs running on the treadmill till he hits 1000 calories. I feel like such a fatty!
I think DD is finally exiting that "sleep 20 hours a day" phase and is now awake more and more, which means my opportunities to nap are less and less. She is finally napping and I can't decide if I should nap, or work on my research paper outline that is due tonight decisions, decisions.
Ok I think I am going with nap!
Good luck to everyone expecting their babies today! So exciting! I love reading the birth stories!
Feeling some energy today, so maybe I'll go into labor soon, lol. I just hit 38 weeks today. My happy spam is that I'm sitting on the couch, while DH grocery shops, waiting for the massage therapist to arrive. My amazing friends bought me an at home pre-natal massage. I'm pretty stoked.
I also made some of those padsicles today. Hopefully they work! I took the advice someone gave and put wax paper in between the layers when I folded it up. Also put in a load of CD in the wash to prep them. I'm excited. Can't wait to try those on Alec! (In retrospect I've been quite productive today. I even brushed the cat!)

After 3 weeks I finally figured out how to navigate through tapatalk and get to the board! Hello everyone! Belated congratulations for all the babies that have been born, and lots of success for moms with inside babies!
Thought for a bit I might be starting to get some contractions and be in early labor. Nope, just LO moving around. Now he's quieted down and no issues. Bleh.
Long, crazy week. Found out earlier this week that DH's uncle was allegedly (though pretty straightforward case from what we saw on news reports) murdered by another family member (already arrested/charged). Medical examiner will have the body for another 2 weeks so burial plans are TBD. Uncle helped raise DH since his dad was MIA so DH is obviously torn up not only about the death but his cousin did it- cousin was like older brother to him. Adds to the increasing family tension.
We're in a weird spot bc he wants to attend the funeral to pay respects/support his mom but it's 6 hr drive each way, and I'm 38wks. Add the everyday stressors of washer/dryer trying to break, cable box out (darn you TWC), he broke his iPhone, dog attacked by another dog last night (ok but sutures for deep wounds & really scared DS who was there)..... he just asked if we could take a nap today. Poor guy

It's really been a rough week for y'all. I'm sorry.
Thanks. There's 8 kids on his mom's side, and this uncle was the oldest. DH thought this uncle would be the next to pass so he's not shocked that he died (if that makes sense), but still sad & processing how it all happened- fairly certain cousin was really high when he killed his dad. Cousin has 20yo daughter (also pg) and 8yo son (baby mama also high/often missing so the uncle had custody of the 8yo). DH angry that his drug addiction affecting so many lives now.

I have my 39 week check-up tomorrow. Part of me is hoping that I'm more dilated than I was last week and mostly effaced, just not feeling contractions (I didn't really feel much with DS)... so MW will just tell me to head in to the hospital and I won't have to go back to work
I have 2 work meetings after my appointment, but nothing the rest of the week.. so yeah, I'm just done.
Why does my MIL think it's a good idea for all of us to go to target on a Sunday afternoon while baby is hungry. I offered to stay home. But nope, I should go too. So now I'm sitting in the car feeding him. Fabulous family outing.

I feel like I should know this, being a STM, but I don't.... so deal with my dumb question:
My stomach/uterus have been rock solid for about 45 minutes. No pain really, just a dull menstrual cramp feeling down low. Baby has been on the quiet side as far as movement (all day), aside from a few rolls here and there. Should I be concerned at some point?
MIL called during training this morning and would not let me off the phone. She seems to think that we won't tell her when there's news and has to ask SIL.
Trying to get back on track and caught up so I'll start here
Had an "oh shit" moment this morning when DH pointed out we're down to the single digit countdown for this kid. Exciting, but now I'm a little freaked out. 39 week check up is tomorrow, too, so maybe something eventful will happen either before then or due to the appt? Either way, this little turkey is getting the boot in 9 days whether he likes it or not.
Oh, and I'm gonna AW his fat little face really quick cos I can
angeldcf sorry for everything your family is going through..
Just finished my massage. The masseuse used to be a chiropractor too. She put back 3 ribs that Alec had pushed out during the last 9 months. No wonder my back was killing me! Feeling so much better now.
