HDBD 6/8 &&& Wednesday Randoms

[tootsie]

Thanks, tikoberry99 and lovegrilledcheese!

I'm so confused right now. I started receiving several calendar invites from a colleague over the past day or so, and today she sent an email setting up a phone call to discuss me taking over a task from someone else...1) the task has nothing to do with my current role, and 2) why would I take over the task (scheduling of interviews) from someone else when I'll be going on maternity leave in the very near future? I'm guessing/hoping this is all just a mistake but sent the colleague an email for clarification so I guess we'll see. I don't even work in the same region as her and the other person I'm supposedly taking over for, so I'm thinking there's just been some sort of misunderstanding. Still super confused though haha

tikoberry99, Look at those cheeks!! So cute!

tootsie, Congrats on the raise!! I agree with PP's but I know its so hard not to worry.

jewelsofthenile, I am with you on just wanting to poop normally again.

tootsie - definitely wouldn't put too much stock in it. After I told my friend that Flint was measuring in the 93rd percentile at 7lbs she told me that at her growth scan her daughter was apparently 9lbs and change and when she was born she was only 7 something.

Here I am at 34 weeks, first pregnancy, boy, short lol

@tikoberry99 oh my gosh that face! What a good pic.

tootsie congrats on the raise! Sorry about the stress of baby's size, I'll +1 to what everyone else is saying! Adorable u/s pic too! I'm jealous it seems like everyone got such good 3d shots of baby's face.

Here's me at 36w2d, 3rd baby, girl. Don't mind the awesome sandal tan lines on my feet!

[rungirlrun]

Sending good vibes that all is ok tootsie !

glaze, you have the most perfect basketball bump.  Looking great!

Feeling like crap today. Nauseous and just want to lay around. I see tv in DS's future this afternoon (we were out and about all morning so I don't feel too guilty).

But I have to brag that over these past few days, I'm been rocking the to-do list. Have a pediatrician and a pediatric dentist (need new ones due to us moving next month), washed all of the gender neutral newborn/3 month clothing, took a hospital tour last night, picked out furniture for DS's new room, started purging for our move, and this has nothing to do with the baby, but I already mailed out all cards and presents for holidays, bdays, and weddings that are going on this summer so I don't have to worry about them later. I'm feeling very accomplished!

Trying to brainstorm birthday gift for MH's niece who is turning 14. I'd love to just give her a card and some money, but MH's family gets salty about money gifts and prefers physical gifts. IDK about you but 14-year-old MadameWaffles (and even modern day MadameWaffles) would love to get cash to spend on whatever the fuck she wanted. ::eyeroll::

My ILs are the same way about gift cards/money as gifts. I love getting either for holidays/birthdays and really don't understand them. I have no idea what to get kids as gifts so I am not much help. Although I gave up trying to please my ILs and just started giving my nephew an Amazon gift card anyway... He is always happy and that is what matters.

Yeah cash/gift cards are always the best, esp at 14 when you have no money. Maybe a nice makeup set? A cool bag/purse? I don't know. I know 2 year old boys and that's about all. I'm scared of teenage girls!

[glaze]

Thanks rungirlrun

Large and in charge. 34w6d, STM - Girl

[melody330]

Oh man it's been a busy day! I've been MIA all day because I played hooky yesterday and paid dearly for it today. I had a bunch of IEPs to write and everyone kept coming to check on me. Apparently they all thought I was in labor yesterday lol.

My partner teacher came back from maternity leave today and I am so so happy. She also thankfully told me the school is giving me a surprise shower tomorrow morning. She knows how I hate surprises! Seriously love her.

7 more school days and I am home free until January!

No bump pic this week, but everyone is looking fantastic!

[melody330]

TnT10 I just weighed in this week at what I delivered DS at. It is what it is at this point. You look fantastic!

I like the purse idea- you could tuck some cash in there

[littlesthobo]

@tikoberry99 those cheeks! OMG!

tootsie congrats on the raise, and hair pats for your worries about baby's size.

Everybody's bumps are looking good! Just painting my toe nails (probably for the last time!) and I'll post mine.

[littlesthobo]

STM, 33+4, team blue.



Had some spotting this morning and ended up at the hospital for a NST. Everything checked out alright, too much carrying my sick toddler around the past few days. Everyone tells me to rest, but it's not easy when you have kids to look after!

[housecarder]

Excuse my crappy appearance, I had to make sure to get a pic today though since next week is my last HDBD.

[housecarder]

littlesthobo I told H I'm getting a pedi Saturday because my toes really need it and I can't reach anymore.

You deserve a gold medal if you can still reach your toes! Impressive!

32 + 5, STM, team green (although I've had many strangers stop me saying I'm definitely having a boy)

[beebe918]

poof

[rungirlrun]

housecarder how are you having those babies in a week?? Crazy!

Idk! I feel like it flew by but I also feel like I've been pregnant forever.

[cavewmn]

housecarder, OMG! You have two honeydew sized babies in you! I don't know why it didn't hit me until now just how big one baby gets much less two babies inside a woman!!

[littlesthobo]

madamewaffles ha ha thanks! Luckily my toilet and tub are positioned well enough for me to contort to paint them. They turned out so-so.

housecarder I'm definitely going to treat myself to my next pedi! Was trying to save a few bucks this week.

I saw my ticker that said they were the size of a 2 liter and I about fainted. No wonder I can't breathe or eat.

[housecarder]

So I've been growing my hair out because I don't want to have to deal with it post partum. But today I started really missing my short hair.

Should I ignore the urge to chop it?

[cabbagecabbage]

I say no hair changes or decisions for 6 months to a year after birth housecarder. The worst mistake I made with my hair was to keep cutting it when DD was a baby. I went from bra strap length to shoulder, to chin, to awful mom cut. Never again!
