Friday...anyone?

[WineNChocolate]

HIYA Ladies!

Its Friday and well I only work till noon due to Dr appts and well that just makes me silly happy! lol. Anywho, for my STM, DD decided that we are going to do a sleep regression right now with the Toddler bed and wake between 1-3 am and scream like a banshee while standing at her door. We will do this every night cause well hell..parents don't need sleep. 

ON A HAPPIER NOTE:  I have my maternity shoot/holiday pictures with family this Sunday. I think the outfit I have will be perfect but we will see...praying for cold but not like F' its cold.

Whats going on with other ladies?!? What are your plans this weekend?

[requiressnacks]

Good morning! I'm at the dr office for a routine appointment. I was so happy to score the first appointment of the day.....but guess what?! The doctor isn't even here yet!!!! So I'm just waiting, waiting, waiting. Story of my life.

[requiressnacks]

WineNChocolate, sleep regression does not sound fun. But YaY for maternity pics!

My meeting with the crazy parent got cancelled. My principal and I talked yesterday and while we agree that I'm right neither of us really want to deal with this lady.

All we have planned for the weekend is maybe a movie and trip to target to stock up on stuff. I was supposed go have a big all day meeting saturday but I played the pregnancy card and got out of it.

[requiressnacks]

Today is my dad and nephew's birthday. So, we are going out to dinner tonight with my dad and celebrating with my nephew on Sunday. I also have dinner plans on Saturday so I'm hoping my days are very restful. After not leaving my house all week, this is a lot of action for me. Haha

[requiressnacks]

There are two people on Nov 16 in labor with twins right now. I am irrationally excited.

[littlelion]

WineNChocolate can't wait to see your pics! I'm planning on family pics next summer.
requiressnacks jam packed weekend, pace yourself! Have fun
@cahistoryteacher what movie?

[hmr11913]

WineNChocolate, can't WAIT to see pics!!!!!!
requiressnacks, I love going out to dinner... I'm a bit jealous!

I had emailed the DR yesterday about the size of my feet and the headaches that I've been getting (not severe) but he wants me to come in today (in an hour) to check my BP. Not sure if he's checking anything else. No real plans this weekend other than going to see a friends new baby tonight!

[littlelion]

I'm at the drs. Except I forgot to make my ob appt. So all my ultrasounds are scheduled to the end. But the ob appt I'm supposed to make each time I come in. Ugh. Just waiting to see if I get squeezed in.

I found a rachel ray magazine with chili recipes. Excited to try them!

The play by play is nerve wracking!

[littlelion]

Fffc- I don't feel like I'm missing out not experiencing a vaginal birth.

[WineNChocolate]

requiressnacks, yeah for dinners not made by you...and well you might want to download the Wonder years app...it will let you know when regressions and changes, what they call Leaps, babies go through leaps and when they do batten down the hatches and hold on. Its kind of scary cause it shows rain clouds as welcome to hell and then sunshine for baby is going to be in a good day. OF COURSE your excited!! Yours are going to be here any time.

hmr11913, Oh no let us know how the appt goes..I hope its just the run of the mill, you know "oh your preggers" that's why this is happening and nothing else. Thanks about the pics I am pretty excited the photographer has found a train station and barn type background which we love..so I am pretty psyched!

littlelion, how man US DO YOU GET!! Omg its driving me cray cray I haven't seen him since 20w with the Dr. WTH!?!? my last practice it was like 28th, 36th week. I just don't understand why I always come in for these stupid HB and measures..I can do that at home and send you the damn info. I am not bitter at all, can you tell!?!?!?

[Deleted]

littlelion, Dr. Strange for sure. I told Dh I'd like to try a matinee to see if I'm more comfortable sitting through a movie before I've had a full day of stuff.


Also, it's pajama day at work. It's probably my favorite of the spirit days. pj pants and a hoodie, nice and comfy today.

Hi All!
Yesterday I don't know what happened, but after my NST I went to Costco and now our deep freeze is full. I got on yet another waiting list for daycare and then came home and make two freezer meals. Then after picking up my husband from work went back to the store and got the stuff for 4 more meals to cook today while I work from home in my jammies. We have a hospital tour tonight and an 8 hour birthing class tomorrow that I give myself full permission to leave at anytime. I had originally planned two classes of four hours each, but they are after our new date so that's not helpful and this is all they have now.

I have a one on one with my boss in a little over an hour and I plan to talk about working from home from Nov 14 until my maternity leave. I hope she's cool with that. I swear they will get more out of me that way. The only reason I don't want to start next week is so I can go to lunch with some of the girls at work then just say peace out! :-)

My boss is in another state and I don't think she knows when I don't tell her I'm working from home anyways so I think it will work out.
Oh and my husband and I talked about the daycare situation. Since I can schedule my calls I think we're just going to try having Jane home with me until we get the call on one of the locations we picked. If we have to we'll find a nanny through care.com. But no more of this stressing out. We'll figure it out when we have to.

Testing went well yesterday, Baby girl just hid from the monitors so I had to do acrobatics to get her heart rate to track continuously.

I'm so glad it's Friday!!!

[mrsp121308]

hmr11913, hoping BP is okay! Keep us updated.

[tbonequeen13]

this is the first free weekend we've had in almost 2 months- we have stuff we want to do, but nothing we HAVE to do. The plan is to wash the cars (they are filthy after a month of being on a farm), DH wants a haircut, I want a pedi, and we're supposed to meet some friends for dinner tomorrow night...other than that, just trying to catch up on stuff around the house that's been put off for a month and trying to get the last of this cold/severe allergy attack to go away...i can pretty much breath again but this cough is just hanging on enough to be a pest...

[catherineoctober]

@kc295905, SO cute!!! They don't allow children in our NST's or even the area for ultrasounds, I can't imagine what mom's with kids do for that! You have to get a baby sitter for a 20 minute (or hour) appointment, seems ridiculous. And I'm there twice a week.

[requiressnacks]

@kc295905, you guys look great! Congrats on making it 10 years!!!

ETA- so glad baby is looking good.

I need to get to this place. I'm like 85% feeling like I'm not missing out and then 15% feeling like I want to know what it's all about.

[requiressnacks]

FFFC- I'm pretending I'm still at the doctor and I'm really just sitting here watching The People's Court.

[requiressnacks]

mrsp121308, how was your first night at home?

[WineNChocolate]

requiressnacks, SO your in the dr's office? Just sitting there watching people's court...lol. love it.

@kc295905, I wasn't going to take the dive but DH did it before I could object...now we are just locked in, I guess. I am glad baby is doing well. Maybe I should make some comment about not seeing the lil monster FRICKING YET..or that I can't really feel him move that much. I want to see him dangit. I am glad your office was understanding to the lil man running around. Happy 10th Anniversary! Great pic

tbonequeen13, Man nothing better than NOT having plans on a weekend really and being able to get crap done. It takes a lot of energy to things now a days and if you have a set amount of time on the weekends it makes it harder. This weekend is pretty much the same..low key.

I'm waiting for a call back from my OB's office because my blood pressure was high this morning. All along it's been running low (110/68 to 122/72). On Wed at my OB appt it was 124/72 and she'd checked it with a smaller cuff (I have flabby arms, smaller cuffs give me higher readings). This morning I asked the nurse to check it when I went in for my B12 shot at my PCP's office. I wasn't worried since it was normal on Wed., but paranoia makes me check whenever I can since I had pre-e with my last and PIH with my 1st baby (why he was a 32 weeker).

So this morning it was 136/96 in both arms with a large cuff. Ugh. That reading wouldn't have even slightly worried me with my last 2 because my BP was so high all the time. 136/96 would have been a welcomed low-ish reading. But since it's been low all along, I'm worried about the slightly higher readings.

So they need to hurry up and call me back and tell me to chill the eff out because it's fine.

[requiressnacks]

WineNChocolate, I'm back at home now! Should have clarified. The doctor finally showed up. I guess the doctor I was supposed to see had to take her kid to the doctor so that was why the doc was delayed.

[requiressnacks]

Lucy, hope they call you back soon! And I hope the BP goes down...

mrsp121308, how was your first night at home?

It went pretty good. She wakes up every 2-2 1/2 hours to eat so that's rough to get used to, but definitely not as bad as it could be. My mom stayed over to help me because DH was exhausted, so hopefully he'll be more help tonight since he got decent sleep.

[mrsp121308]

Lucy, hoping you hear back soon!

Wow - you go girl! I am so not prepared to be awake every 2 hours.

I hope DH helps you out tonight!

[kaydee0402]

WineNChocolate, so glad my child isn't the only one who decided he hates sleep this week. Aren't you excited for daylight savings to throw everything off?

[kaydee0402]

requiressnacks , you know what having plans means? You're going to have a baby babies this weekend


Just kidding! I hope
