I'm hoping that my blood pressure is just high enough at my NST on Monday to deliver. My OB said as long as the top # is over 140 or the bottom over 100 we're good to go now that I'm past 37 weeks. I'm hovering at or just below those numbers, but I need 2 readings that are high. It's probably the first time in my life that I WANT high blood pressure. I'm so over this.

Today was spent celebrating Leo's bday. It's actually not until Dec 1st but I'll be busy that day. We went to the aquarium and he got a brownie cake plus some movie time. It's still early and dh is trying to convince me to go out shopping. Hmmm.
I had my 36w appointment this morning. Baby is head down but not at all engaged. She was curled way up high we though for a minute she had flipped breech since her heartbeat was so high up. Got a quick peek on an ultrasound and had a cervical check(not open at all which I'm thrilled about) and gbs.
I binged the Gilmore Girls revival the rest of today. I have mixed feelings about it. Anyone else watch it?

@kc295905 Ds had his 2 yr appt this week too! His iron tested even lower than last time but finally got the ok to give him chewable vitamins. He boycotts anything green...even the spinach pasta!

Good morning! Not much going on here, we did most of our Christmas decorating yesterday and tonight my MIL is insisting on having us over for a repeat Thanksgiving. It's highly annoying when people don't understand why we rotate the holidays. It's so we don't have to do everything twice!
Dh is giving Ds a bath all by himself for the first time. I'm waiting outside the door just in case. He keeps trying to quit and tag me in.
Is this a guy move? MH tries to act like bottle feeding a baby is SO hard and always tries to quit halfway through. No dude, you're off from work for a reason and that's to help with the babies.
I have a lot of feelings about MH lately. I'll just chalk it up to postpartum hormones.

I'd say yes except that I have 2 cousins that are mr.moms.
It's just our luck. in the two years I can also count # times dh has changed poopy diapers.
I'm making lactation cookies for me and a friend who had her baby this morning. I had to bring a chair into the kitchen to sit in for breaks bc I'm out of breath 😳 and now I want to eat all these cookies. Feeling round and jolly like 🎅
Hi ladies! I've been really looking forward to this weekend and next weekend being the last ones before my due date and without social activities or responsibilities... but I'm just feeling super restless and it's driving dh crazy! Lol.
My back still feels great and overall I can't believe we're this close to the end. Starting to get really nervous about having a newborn around, though...
Today I'm hoping to finish up a couple of things around the house and go out for a solo shopping trip. Hope everyone's having a good weekend!

@cahistoryteacher, me!! I stayed up waaaay too late to do it, but really wanted to see it. It felt so uneven. Winter and Fall were clearly the best episodes (to me) and written by Amy.
@kc295905, I sent my husband the lactation cookie recipe and he was totally confused about how they would help me lactate. I'm like "Haven't we had a kid already?"
I'm recovering from Friendsgiving. It was so much fun, but I'm glad to be back in our own place with no more travel plans. Yesterday I had a weird episode where my vision became blurry and I was a little worried about pre-e, but I had just had a protein check on Monday and everything was fine. I took a nap and everything was much better, but has this happened to anyone else?

MH just came upstairs to tell me how bored he is right now. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Btw my interest in Xmas shopping/making a list of things I want for my parents and DH's parents, is ZERO. I just want to sit and wait for this baby to come and stop coordinating other things.
legalbeagle - same here! We've basically cancelled all gift giving this year. Im hoping to just enjoy (or at the very least, survive) Christmas at home with our baby!
I spent yesterday binge watching Gilmore Girls (I need more! Also, #TeamJess!), making sure all the laundry was caught up (Ha!) and lounging in bed. I did make a really good homemade bacon cheeseburger pizza for dinner -- so I was somewhat productive.
Today we're hopefully decorating for Christmas this afternoon, if H brings the stuff in from the shed before it gets too dark to see it. We're going to see Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (without kids, hooray!) at noon, and I'm letting the kids do the majority of the decorating while I cook dinner when we get back. I'm toning down the Christmas decorations big time this year, since I do most of the high up stuff -- I think we're going to stick to what the kids can reach and putting the tree and stockings up and calling it a day. I'm definitely not going to be up to cleaning that crap up with a newborn in January.

Lucy yep, I told dh as long as the tree and wreath are up I'm happy. And my mini nativity scene. @kc295905 I also need many breaks while tackling something on. Took me so long to clean and organize the dining room. Plus I'd totally eat those cookies now...I'm always an hr away from hungry.
I really need to watch Gilmore Girls. I feel like I'm missing out.
Sorry for being such a whiner earlier. I can't wait until more of you have outside babies so we can all be on this rollercoaster together. 😊
Don't be sorry...we're all whiny about something at this point. + hormones. Yesterday morning dh flicked something off his laptop and it landed in my coffee cup. I had to hold back the tears.

I am here and excited for December coming..but not excited to wait another 4 weeks. I am also not looking forward to working lol..but that is life. I get to start my primrose tomorrow that's exciting..try and get this plug to loosen up for me. I need to get Christmas presents for family and to be honest not in the most festive of spirits. But if I dont I will feel like I have failed. Lol...

Omg this game is legit going to put me into labor!!
Re Gilmore Girls. I'm Team Logan. An unpopular choice I know!
Also requiressnacks complaining about newborns is totally understandable. We will all be there soon! And you have two! I am at the point where I want baby to come because I'm so tired of getting up at night forgetting that I will have to do that and feed a newborn and newborn will cut down on daytime naps!
Ugh, today has been stressful. I personally feel some weight off my shoulders because my last day of work was on Wednesday, but FI is having a terrible day. His mom's bday was yesterday, and we got busy and didn't have the chance to call her before she left to go to a hockey game. His dad started calling him first thing this morning like every 5 minutes this morning to find out when he was going to call her. As soon as we could get the kids together we called and sang happy b-day, but then it went downhill again after that. She started telling, not asking, FI that we need to bring the girls over to have Xmas pictures taken, and when he tries to tell her that we're not going to do it this year because the baby is coming soon and we're trying to avoid more stress, she starts going on and on about "You won't let me take pictures of my granddaughters!" Jeez. Then to top it off, FI was riding his motorcycle and some asshole in a van hits him and speeds off! Luckily he wasn't hurt, but for f*cks sake. I wouldn't worry about FI riding a motorcycle if it weren't for jackasses like that.

My mom and I did a ton of shopping today and I'm beat. Hazel is just not a great sleeper and the lack of sleep is getting to me so any sort of activity requiring me to leave my house exhausts me.
