bocaburger omg your dog is so cute. We basically never bathe my dog - she hates it!
spicysalmonroll your pics are so sweet!! hummingbird125 yay! That sounds so lovely! dc2london I've been feeling this too joy so glad your shower was lovely! gratefulgirl congrats on scheduling the c/s! That must be a relief to just know the date.
I've been feeling the "oh my gosh how am I going to do this for 6 more weeks" third trimester blues. Between my MANY appointments, and the emotions that seem to come up during the NSTs, to extreme fatigue and having to push myself to get through the day at work -- baby's birth seems so impossibly far away. I already dropped my work from full time to about 3/4 time, but maybe I'll need to drop a few more hours. So much admiration for all of you who work full time or who take care of kids. How are you doing it??
Oh my goodness this is a difficult toddler day! I am thinking the only thing that will save us is an early nap. Hopefully we'll splash in the baby pool this afternoon if she wakes up in a better mood.

spicysalmonroll, what nice pictures. I really wanted to do that too at the castle we got married at. But it is way to far away from where we are now. And being on bed rest obviously doesn't help. It makes me sad. But it can not be helped. We will definitely have to go when the babies are born.

We went and hung out with friends on Saturday which was really fun but I definitely overdid it and Sunday was rough because I was so tired and cranky.
Obviously I don't want the baby to be born early, but I can't wait to be done being pregnant. I'm so stressed out about food - what I should eat, when I should eat, what blood sugar I should aim for, I spend almost all my time thinking about it. I feel like I'm starting to develop disordered views of food because I'm so afraid that every time I eat something it could potentially be causing health problems for the baby.

Girl, I am so sorry you are experiencing this! You are doing a FABULOUS job taking care of yourself and your lo! I completely relate to that sentiment, and I totally understand how hard it is to be so completely focused on food. Just know that you are doing the best you can - which is really damn good!!!

Our AC stopped working over the weekend, so I'm spending today waiting for the repair person to come by and unpacking. And sweating profusely. Not necessarily in that order. (Our AC (at our former house) had to be replaced a couple of days after DS was born in late July. We spent his first week or so couch-surfing at various in-laws'. So hooray for hopefully avoiding that this time!)
We spent this weekend packing up everything we set up for the babies haha getting ready to sell a house at 32 weeks pregnant is fun just praying our house sells!!! On the bright side it's going to be hot today so DH and I are taking bug to the spray park for a bit this afternoon!! Aka he runs with her and I sit in the sun haha

Thanks. I think in the coming weeks I need to work on accepting that I don't have as much control as I think I do and complications may happen, but that doesn't mean I did something wrong to cause them.
No matter what happens, it will definitely be nice to spend less time time thinking about food.

In brighter news I finally found a doula AND a sibling doula (someone to be on 24hour call to care for DD). I'm excited and because I procrastinated so much I'm getting an abbreviated package which reduced the cost of both services.

If I had more appointments I think it would be harder. Once every 2 weeks isn't too bad. Once we start getting to weekly or more frequently it just feels harder. Hopefully the last few weeks fly.

Whew!! Busy weekend over here! DH turned 30 on Sat and I threw him a party. My mom and I cooked all the food and decorated and then we were up till 3am. Then on Sunday had to clean up all the mess. I'm pooped today and letting DD watch all the tv she wants today!
Is anyone else just totally wiped out by early afternoon? We went to art camp and stopped to pick up a prescription, then had lunch, and I feel like I need a nap. Of course, I am also having to carry the 3 year old everywhere

Yup. Thinking I need a nap right about now and I haven't nearly been as productive as you today lol

Yes. I broke down and got a Dr. Pepper at Target today while DH was at his appointment. Currently taking a "5 minute breather" and then it's onto slicing and bagging brownies for the swim meet, kitchen clean up, and dinner prep.
I wish a nap was in my future. Another day. I am a huge napper, probably too huge.

I am giving myself a couple more minutes to sit and then I am going to prep dinner, get in some treadmill time and take these babies to the pool

I kind of love and hate the fact that you are talking dinner prep and I am still sorting breakfast for the day, hahaha! I feel kinda lazy... Our sleep schedule slipped a bit recently, DD1 is not falling asleep til 11 or midnight, and since I dropped the unisom my insomnia is spiralling hard. So... we just got out of bed at 11 am. I am so grateful to have a life that allows me to sleep in and a toddler who seems flexible enough to let it happen. I am really curious how things will go when DD2 gets here.

Lol! I become useless by 5 p.m. bc that's when the nausea gets really bad. So if I don't prep dinner early in the day, it doesn't happen. And that's why I had cherries and toast for dinner the last 2 nights :-p

dc2london - Yup, I am totally wiped. I am also extremely impressed by you. I ate a big lunch and now I have zero motivation to make anything for dinner.
So, the temp in my office kept creeping up and no one was coming to look at the AC until afternoon. I walked into my boss's office and told him I had to finish the day working from home. He didn't give me a hard time about it (lucky for him or I may have had to punch a wall). Of course I hit horrendous traffic and it took me about an hour to get home, but I picked myself up some lunch and now I'm working from the couch. I don't know what I'll do if the AC doesn't get fixed today - I'd like to just insist on WFH again tomorrow, but it's my boss's last day beofre he goes on vacation, so I don't know if that will work. Blegh.

Yes! My energy is gone by 1 or 2 pm. The rest of the day is a struggle.
Good luck in the heat, ladies! We just have a couple window units soMi have to rotate which room to be in a couple times a day... if I leave them on nonstop, they ice up.
I am planning on escaping away to sbux in a little while and getting some study time in. SO can run DD1 around outside in the heat for a while XD. It doesn't seem to bother her!
Then, hips willing, I have a bunch of dishes to do and other general cleanup. SO asked me yesterday, as he is puttering in our itty bitty kitchen, if I was in pain or just getting a bit lazy with chores. OMG I was kind of hurt.
I get the question, our apartment is never spotless, but I had literally spent the last 3 days catching up on everything! The dishes in the sink were a day and a half's worth, plus his collection he had just brought up. The trash scattered on the floor, I had picked up once already, but my enterprising child dumped it back out before the box made it to the actual garbage. All our laundry was washed, I just hadn't gotten it folded up yet.
I explained this all to him and he backed way off, but I had to ask him later on if he really felt I was being lazy. He said he was just trying to gauge my pain levels. I believe him, but dude, there are kinder ways to go about it.
So... aches and pains and contrax be damned, I am gonna get the vacuum out and do some more cleaning. Its not as though I love the paper bits and dirty dishes all over. oh, mondays.

venyia Sorry for that comment! I'm at the point where hip and back pain are slowing me down too. Last night I was moving around like a granny after just emptying the dishwasher. It's hard to keep up!

I am so over today!!! DD woke up 3 times last night screaming "momma" as though she was seriously in pain. I go I each time and she needs me to put her blacket back on her, find her cup, and the "last" time she just wanted to tell me HI! The last time I put her in my bed, where she insisted on waking up at 6:45 in a compleatly grumpy mood. Nothing made her happy, I gave her the "wrong" yogert, because she wanted the other one, that was the exact same. Then at 9:30 my sister called and wants to see DD before heading back home. So I agree to meet her at my mothers house (40 minutes away) at 10:30. As I got to my moms house she text me that she has gone across town to see a friend for a minute, and is hungry so she is going to pick food up for everyone.(that I ended up having to pay for) I told her I was leaving my moms at 12:00. She showed up at 11:45!! Then made me feel guilty for wanting to leave (so I can get DD home for nap at 1:00). Then all of a sudden she HAD to leave. Barely said bye to DD and was out the door at 12:30. I got DD home by 1:15 but she napped in the car for two minutes so it's looking like nap time is over. As she has been in her room, crying, screaming, playing, reading and doing anything but being still. This is going to be the longest day, I'm tied had a ton of stuff to do during nap, that will not get done now.
Sorry about the vent. if I could PIP I give you all some cookies!

Yes! I think work frown upon naps, lol, so I've been going to bed at like 8:30 lately.
So tired all the time now too...plus allergies have been terrible today. I'm not ready for 2 under 2, but I'm ready to not be pregnant in this summer heat.

Yes, I've been back to wanting/needing a nap every afternoon. Some days my 2 will even play together for longer than 10 minutes without interrupting me, and I get to do it! Glorious!
