Happy Friday! I love day camp so much. I lucked out the our park district is very reasonable but I would pay twice as much for a happy tired child.
I bought DD the cutest toddler high chair (no straps, just higher) that matches our other chairs. It was 5.99 at a thrift shop! I'm going to sand and start painting it today. It would figure that this is how I'd nest, leaving my fridge dirty and my floors scuffed but painting furniture in my garage.
I also plan to move DD's seat and install the infant base today. I downloaded a conraction timer last night. Things are too real!
happy Cananda Day! we are going to have a big breakfast and then go down to the waterfront with the boys - they have games and BBQ and entertainment down there until fireworks this evening.

Just working today. I get to leave 2 hrs early so thats good! Trying to be productive and failing. The timeable super uncomfortable Braxton hicks i had yesterday got my hopes up for labor starting soon. However, at the speed my husband is working on the house projects I would like done before the baby is here. I would need to be pregnant until next july for him to get them completed.
My growth scan is at 3:30. Please grow, baby R! I'm trying not to be nervous.
I'm trying to wrap up some things at work without telling anyone that's my intention... this might be my last day. Eek. If I'm induced on Wednesday, I'm definitely taking Tuesday to myself,, and Monday's a holiday. They are expecting another 2-3 weeks out of me. I don't want to be sneaky but my OB won't make decisions until after today's u/s, and things likely won't be set in stone til my appointment Tuesday morning.
I left my job abruptly when I was pregnant with DS. I had no sub plans ready, morning organized how I wanted it, and I just felt so unprepared to go out on leave six weeks early. Everyone managed to get by, it was no big deal!
Good luck at your scan, katelou! Taking a day to yourself is a must. I'm planning on starting my leave at 40+2 and getting induced at 40+5, just so I can have some days to myself.
Just having a mild (major?) freak out that it's July. I've been talking about this pregnancy and the fact that I'm due in July like that's eons away. Well not quite anymore!!
Best of luck today katelou. Hope you get good news, but if you do deliver next week, don't worry about work. They'll manage!
Going to the ob today and assuming we will be scheduling my c section. Curious to see if I'm dilated at all. Afterwards I'm getting my eyebrows done and a pedi... can't wait. I chopped my hair off yesterday so just preparing for baby...ShitZ getting real! I can't believe pregnancy will end soon for me! Ahhhhh!
So during one of my MOTN trips to the bathroom I had a gush of fluid that was enough to run down my legs...it had a murky, somewhat milky tinthe to it so at the time I just figured it was discharge. I just haven't ever had such watery discharge and so much at one time. I haven't had any more gushes or leaks since then. What say you, something that warrants a call in to the nurse, or just keep an eye out for anything more and assume it was just discharge?
That's tough mcktymck, how are you feeling now? Are you able to put a liner on and lie down for a bit and see if you have any more discharge when you get up?
I had the same feeling about July rungirlrun. When people asked when I was due I would always just say July. Now it's actually July! Although I'm expecting to be hanging around for another 2 weeks with an inside baby but still. Crazy!
ellebelle when I got up for my morning bathroom trip I didn't notice anything, but I just got out of the shower and put on a fresh pair of underwear so I figure that'll make it easier to see anything new!
Happy Canada Day to our two favorite Canadians, littlesthobo and Ray!
Good luck today katelou, I'll be thinking of you and hoping for the best with the growth ultrasound!
rungirlrun I had those same thoughts last night! I looked at H and was like "...I can't believe it's July tomorrow!" I'd always heard the last couple months of pregnancy drag by, but May and June were both complete blurs!
Good luck today tikoberry99! enjoy getting pampered after your appointment
H is going golfing today so he ran out to get me coffee and donut holes before he left. I was in the shower so he dropped them off and ran instead of saying goodbye to me which he never does, so when I got out I sent him a sad "you didn't say goodbye??" text. Then I got downstairs and opened the bag of "donuts" to find a bagel with cream cheese on it...I immediately started tearing up because hi, 37 weeks pregnant and mama loves her donut holes, and sent him another frantic text asking why he would get me a bagel when I asked for donuts. A couple minutes later he called to say he had mistakenly given me his bag and he had mine, and was on his way back with them haha. All I could think was it was instant karma for him rushing out the door without saying goodbye to me so that he wouldn't be late, it ended up making him even more late. I felt slightly ridiculous for getting so upset, but I wanted my donut holes damn it!

I get a half day at work today! I am off at 11:30 and then I get a 3 day weekend!
I plan to go to a consignment shop before I pick up DS to see if they have anything new that I want. I still need/want a few things for S before he comes. I also plan to call a pediatrician and get S and L on the books there.

I just installed the car seat base. I also downloaded a contraction timer app this week (last time I did it in labor and I do not recommend). This is the "too real" stuff. I'm mean sorting cute diapers and buying clothes was fun but this is the nitty gritty.
mcktymck - donut holes are something to get upset about.
I'd be pissed if DH ate my timbits
Yeah for the couple minutes I thought he had gotten me a bagel instead of donut holes, I considered killing him. Also, I've heard nothing but amazing things about Tim Hortons! You Canadians have everything.
My husband just had to save me from a fucking tarantula in our shower.
K not actually a tarantula but it was another fishing spider.
Idk if any GKUers remember the spider I found in my sink last year....
I didn't notice it until I was rinsing out my conditioner. I screamed and he came up and was like "holy shit!" And then he ran to get something to kill it.
Ray you have all of my sorries and hair pats. That is the absolute worst, taking a shower and realizing a spider is just chillin' in there with you. We had spiders very similar to those in CT except they were wolf spiders and holy hell it was terrifying to see one of them just sitting there on the floor staring at you. Made me want to burn the entire place to the ground.
Ray I DNW to see a picture, but I don't know what a fishing spider is and I won't google it. We get these things that are a cross between a cricket and a huge spider. The result is a hair mother fucker that jumps really high and has 8 legs. I find them every now and then in the basement and it makes me want to set the house on fire. Dh is a "don't kill it! I'll let it live outside!" So I don't call him anymore. I just spray it with something and suck it up in the vacuum
