Tuesday Randomness...

[WineNChocolate]

Morning all!

Its Tuesday and a whooping 13 degrees outside with wind so like 10 degrees. HOORAY for Michigan. I know some of you live up north or in Canada so no biggie. But this is my first real winter in Michigan and WTF..lol.

Anywho, let's see I slept horribly last night probably had something to do with the BH I had all day yesterday after working out and the BH I had through the night. Not to mention I watched an action movie to an integral part saw what time it was and was like I need to get some sleep. THEN proceeded to try and fall asleep obviously bad choice on my part. LOL. Today I have my lovely check-in appt with the Dr. and as much action that was going on with my contractions last night. I am sure false hopes..no MP has been passed. This lil stinker is not budging anytime soon.

How is everyone else this morning? What's your day looking like?

[WineNChocolate]

@kc295905, omg its that soon...man I tell you my brain has checked out! That's great news! Are you worried about DS regressing with the new one coming like him being like F' that bed..I need mommy. We tried to switch DD and we are back in the crib..lol. Too hard.

[harfamilyof3]

DD2 is 4 weeks old as of yesterday and I have yet to leave the house alone with both of my girls. DD1 and DD2 are 22 months apart. I so badly want to go to target today but I'm terrified to be that mom with a newborn strapped to me while chasing my toddler!!

[harfamilyof3]

@kc295905 ahh baby tomorrow!! That is so exciting!! We also are trying the toddler bed thing- but right now just for naps.

[WineNChocolate]

oh well good point. I know we will have to make the dive again to try and get her in that bed!

[hmr11913]

harfamilyof3.... I'm in the same boat. They're 17 months apart and my thought is, if I have the baby in her car seat in the big part of the cart, and G in the seat part... where would I put anything?! Not to mention she hates to be strapped in lately, but then may try to get out... ugh.

@kc295905 holy shit! Tomorrow is the day!!!! I can't wait to hear if it's a boy or girl

WineNChocolate I hope SOMETHING is going on today at your appt... for your sanity

[Winnifred]

@kc295905, ahh soo exciting! Enjoy your time today!

WineNChocolate, oh man, stressful TV + bed does not equal sleep for me either! Hoping your BH turn into something real sooner than later!

[Winnifred]

I am SO SORE today. My back and hips are killing me. Not sure if it's from walking around too much yesterday, or from our evening sexy time! Hopefully it helps get things moving...

I think I've decided to work from home next Monday if baby still isn't here and we're waiting on Tuesday induction. I cannot handle coming in to work and dealing with everyone's comments. I have already threatened to smack someone today. Jokingly (but serious...).

I could work from home this week but I'm not sure what I'd even work on. At least being in the office brings up different ideas of stuff to do, or things I can help coworkers with...

[requiressnacks]

Good morning! I just woke up from a "nap"......and it's only 9 am!!! The babies aren't supposed to eat until 10 but they are already fussing.


For funsies.....we got the statement for DS's NICU stay and it was $100,000!!!!! Ermagod! Luckily we don't have to pay that DD was $15,000 as a comparison.

[mrswillie]

WineNChocolate where did you live before? I'm from New England, so pretty use to the freezing cold weather. Sit at football games in it. No problem. But being in Maryland for 8 years now, the bitter cold shocks me. I can't deal. I wish I had more snow, especially for my boys, but we get some decent sized storms. The only problem is they don't have the equipment or knowledge of how to deal with it. So twice we've been trapped for days with no plow having come through our area just sitting here going WTF is this? Lol

@kc295905 so baby will be here tomorrow? That's my b-day so yay! What a great day! Hope your DS does awesome with the toddler bed.

harfamilyof3 I know I did it with DS1 and DS2, but I'm terrified to do it with DS2 and DS3 (crazy to have a DS3) because they're 20 months apart. I'm strapping DS2 in the stroller with a snack at my appointment tomorrow. Cross your fingers for me!

It is SO cold. I don't think Wisconsin and I can be friends anymore.

Cora is hanging out inside my shirt this morning to stay warm (and because I'm totally being lazy and hanging out on the couch all morning). It's Baby-Inside-Your-Sweater Weather. 

[WineNChocolate]

mrswillie, lol I am a military brat farthest north really was Colorado but I was young. But also I was in VA..so no real frigid temps and snow. Michigan is just cold for like weeks in decemeber. I got married in MD on Dec 20, 3 years ago it was 62 degrees. lol!!

Winnifred, I try and not get my hopes up in the event my Dr. irritates me and I might actually chop her in her throat. OMG isn't this horrible how much I loathe that woman. lol I am saying its hormones for her sake. I will probably pick another Dr should we do this again. I am not saying she isn't smart, her bed side is crap.

[legalbeagle]

@kc295905, so excited for baby day! Hope you have a nice last day at home with DS.

requiressnacks, erm wow. That is all I will say about that bill. This is why everyone needs health insurance!

WineNChocolate, yeah I do not miss Michigan winters. I lasted through three of them after two years of living in the Bay Area and I was like nope, nope, nope.

Lucy, the cuteness!

[mrswillie]

WineNChocolate yes! We've had some really warm winters here.
It really is a big change.
Sorry you don't care for your doctor. Ugh! That's the worst. I couldn't imagine not having my OB who went above and beyond for needy me.

Lucy LOl at you de-friending Wisconsin! Cute pic!

[legalbeagle]

AFM, I cannot seem to kick this cold! It has now migrated into my chest and I have a lovely rattly cough along with my insane nose blowing. Tomorrow is my last day of work thank goodness. My parents arrive on Friday for the holidays and I'm two weeks from my induction date. I think the only real things I have left on the "to do" list are wash and sterilize pump parts/nipples. My DH's to do list on the other hand...

[mrswillie]

For those with outside babies... OMG! Every single time DS poops its soooo loud! I don't remember this with my other boys. Lol. Are your babies loud too?

[Winnifred]

Lucy, so cute!

WineNChocolate, regarding December in MI, I don't even consider it to be true winter yet. January and February are the truly terrible months, when the temperature never rises and the snow/ice packs down on the roads... But not to worry, we'll be home snuggling babies this year!! December and March are like 1/2 winter to me, lol. Some years they suck, some years they're totally fine.

[lola]

I was supposed to go into work for planning meetings today, but I woke up to what I'm pretty sure are contractions (hard belly, back and pelvic cramps and feels like someone is tightening a seatbelt around my lower belly) at 5:45 a.m. I'm slowly getting around and getting ready just in case, while timing the contractions. They seem to be about 45 seconds every 8 minutes or so.

[legalbeagle]

lola, Fingers crossed for some good progression!

[legalbeagle]

mommytoava how are you doing?

Yep! Loud explosive sounding poops.

[kaydee0402]

Nothing fun and exciting today. Just trying to make it through my last few days of work. Tomorrow is supposed to be my official last day but I've already mentally checked out.

[mrsp121308]

It's December 13th and I'm already sick of snow and cold. 😕

[mrsp121308]

Hazel had decided that sleeping in the bassinet, RNP, and crib are all overrated and will only sleep with me. I'm tired and my arm is sore from how I hold her while sleeping. I need an IV drip of caffeine. It's a darn good thing she's cute

[Deleted]

I would not last long in cold climates. It's 53 outside right now and a high of 60 today and I'm bundled up. I'm a weak Californian.

I think baby is starting to drop a little, I feel like the angle of my belly has changed slightly. She's still up in my ribs with her feet but I feel her butt less. I don't have pelvic pressure but I think she's making her way down. So if the books are right that first time babies drop 2-3 weeks before delivery then we're golden for her arrival.

[Winnifred]

requiressnacks, that is CRAZY! I mean, I know you don't have to pay it but I would still have had a heart attack receiving that info in the mail!

mrsp121308, she is so cute, though, seriously!!

[Winnifred]

@cahistoryteacher, ugh my baby is still riding high! I'm starting to be convinced that if it weren't for a planned induction, this baby would wait until 43 weeks or beyond to do anything.

I keep having this fleeting hope that suddenly my water will just break. That way, at least, I know we're moving forward regardless.

I was not prepared for all the grunting, farting and burps. Babies are loud!!! I think the white noise machine is helping me more than them right now. Haha

[mrswillie]

lola hope baby's deciding to make an appearance!

mrsp121308 is 12/13 a date for something? DS really likes to be held to sleep too. Out cold when held!

Winnifred I know I've said this before, but I had zero progress with DS1 and told I'd be induced when my water suddenly broke. FX for you!

@kc295905 lol. DS2 totally didn't get it, but has been great with baby since we came home.

requiressnacks I want a morning nap, but I wasn't tired yesterday or today while DS1 was at school. Ugh! Uh yeah to thank goodness for not having to pay that!

I keep telling DS that I'm having a baby tomorrow and it's going to live here and he just keeps saying "nope"

HA! His hours as an only child are numbered!
