Ahhhh! And our first Christmas celebration is next Sunday. It's fine. I just have some money trees to make, gift cards to buy, and 2 more gifts to buy. I thought I was done but SIL's dropped the ball and we are left scrambling. Why is the pregnant SIL with a 3 year old that has 4 Christmases (I realize there is a movie about my life) to prep for shopping for 2 out of the 4 parents? Why?!
Actual Christmas prep is on hold until tomorrow. Today is party day! The ugly tie kits I got for DH and I came with shitty glue so DS and I are off to hobby lobby for glue dots and a picture frame for one of MIL's gifts then the grocery store for things Walmart didn't have the other night. The nausea is creeping in so that should make the entire day interesting. Especially since Dh is teaching until 4 and won't be home until 5.

erinshelley21 that nausea is the worst! I'm so sorry it's back. You seriously kick ass even with it. I'd be in my couch like "sorry y'all, Christmas is cancelled." Is there anything that helps? Can you take any meds?

We were supposed to go buy a car today, but the one we want is in transit and while it *should* be at the closest Carmax by now, it apparently isn't. They aren't open on Sundays, so we'll have to either wait until next weekend, or scramble mid-week with my husband taking a day off, and bringing the 16-month old along, which sounds like the freshest of hells to me. Toddlers are so great with endless paperwork. Plus it's an hour away and she only tolerates the car for so long. Ugh. Let me buy a car from you!

I'm sorry your nausea is coming on erinshelley21 - I hope it stays in check until after the big party!
We're not doing much today. We've got some parties to go to and we need to clean up the house. I also want to decorate the tree (I only did the lights last weekend) and go buy the garland I need to finish the outside lights.
Last night my boobs started leaking. I am not quite ready for that.

Thanks girls kristhegirl and moutonrouge. Powering through and going about my day seemed to help. All week it's been horrible but I just sit at my desk.
Went to Meijer so I could make one stop instead of one and I am so glad I did. My outfit for tonight just got 100% better!
DH lost our cows yesterday. And my horses. We just bought five cows from our neighbor, last Saturday. When he went to feed them, he didn't get a gate closed because he figured they'd follow the bale of hay, but my horses went stupid and spooked the cows. They're hopefully a couple pastures over, they went through one gate I guess, but he has to go look for them.
Worst case they're back at the neighbors pasture. But yeah, we've had our own cows for less than a week, and already we lost them. DH is a little onery about it. lol.
Quinstar why is HE ornery, he caused it! Lol I hope they're close and just eating someone else's field for the morning.
Lol, long story. He hates cows.
He used to like cows when his grandpa was alive, and they did all the work together. Now that his mom is doing it, and she's incapable of working anything besides a hose for water. He gets stuck working for her all winter, for nothing. She promises him his favorite meal every time he vaccinates her cows, but has yet to make it but once in 4 years. (He vaccinates 2x a year). But she'll make it for his sisters boyfriend. I digress.
But I convinced him we need to spread out a little, and get some cows while they're cheap. He begrudgingly agreed, although I think he was pretty excited to put his brand on something that was really just his. We're keeping them on our ground, feeding them our hay, and doing it the way we want, so I'm hoping he'll at least like his little herd of 5.
But the first thing that happens is he loses them, lol. He's a little annoyed with himself.
Our winter tires finally came in so the car is over at Ford now. Once we get it back we will be going straight to Walmart to get a new baby gate. A week or so ago C figured out how to open his bedroom door. Just before taking the car in today he learned how to open the baby gate. Bad combo. We have a raised bungalow so when you come in our front door there are a few steps up or a few steps down. Luckily we only need the one gate at the top since he never goes downstairs (my dad lives there) but its still such a PITA because this will be $100+ after tax that we were not planning on spending.
MH has been trying to hint at some sex today but now that the kid is napping and we have the opportunity, he's playing video games instead of trying to seduce. I mean HE is the one who has been hinting. I don't have the energy sadly so he needs to step up his game if a bang is going to happen today.
If I had a penis, I think I would go over and set it on his shoulder from behind as a hint-hint do you still want to do this because it's our only chance till baby's bed time. Lol
Another wonderful symptom is my pelvis pops when I roll over in bed! Ugh
It happens to me too. When I get up in the morning, all I hear is a symphony of cracks and pops as my hips and joints and everything just falls apart. lol I could probably beat box to the sound of it

I just had a really unsatisfying sandwich. DH went to get us lunch. They were out of bacon so my sandwich was missing that (I would've ordered something else but DH couldn't have known that) and then it just straight up doesn't have the special sauce on it. I'm sad.
The cupcake reveal was fun even though everyone (parents and DD) guessed it was one of each. But we did trick them by having either pink or blue inside each one so the grandmas ended up cutting open pink (and thinking it was 2 girls) until they saw DD's with blue inside.
Christmas party day! Babysitter will be here in less than 1 1/2 hours. DS didnt nap today and has a cold so hopefully he behaves, I've been looking forward to this. I habe to take a second shower I wasn't planning on because I got toque hair picking up supper for DS- with windchill it's about -35 celsius here so there was no going without one. It's going to be a cold drive to the party.

Dying at touque hair because of course I know that struggle, but literally dying at -35!!!! It feels like -15 here and I can't wait to get home from this never ending shopping trip.
So a trip into walmart evolved into a further trip to Ikea and my body is dead. I am in so much pain. My H went nuts over stuffed animals for C and LO. We got one of those white/chalk board easles for $25 as a xmas gift for C as well. It was nice to do something a bit different and to get out of town but today has gotten really expensive, really fast. Im just sitting in the car while my H grabs the baby gate at walmart because I cannot move without crying at this point. Might wanna pay some bills when we get home... Cant wait for the 20th. My baby bonus comes in and my H will likely get a small xmas bonus from work.
Ill deliver around 38-39 weeks so that leaves 11 or 12 weeks for me too. Eek!
Yeah, Dr is already thinkng it would be safer to deliver around 39 weeks because of my blood pressure issues during pregnancy and family history.
I'm sorry if this comes off rude, I don't mean it that way, but are you delivering then because you're diabetic?
Not rude, no worries. And yes thats why. Last time I was 39w3d so it may be similar this time. My OB is pretty comfortable with going with what my body is ready for and my diabetes is under excellent control so not many additional worries. Some OBs prefer to induce at 38w though. The scheduling really came down to making sure I delievered on a day when my OB was on rotation at the hospital. They also make sure it is when other various specialists are guaranteed to be on duty.

Oh OK. I'm interested in all this stuff, I was an anatomy and physiology major in college, so I know basic stuff but I love getting the little details.
