Thursday Randomness...

[WineNChocolate]

Good Morning Ladies,

So its my Christmas party with my squad at work and I thought I would just leave some festive spirit and say "WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS BENCH WARMERS".

**PICS of my Christmas spirit below**

BUT on the topic of Babies: I am still pregnant, now fighting a possible Yeast infection...HOORAY and well no other signs that my pregnancy will come to an end. So I am pretty much ramping up all measures of get baby out and try and enjoy the holidays. I did get all my Christmas baskets done and they will be distributed by this weekend. Hooray to that.

How is everyone else?!? Anything fun or exciting going on?

[WineNChocolate]

Because I am a dork and love festive crap.

Oh my baskets

[requiressnacks]

You can do it WineNChocolate!

Love that tshirt, btw. 😂😂

[WineNChocolate]

requiressnacks, hahahha I am trying to stay in the best spirits..but its so hard since I am not progressing at all. Its like I am just sitting here stagnate. NO MP loss and no other signs. I know there is like 4-5 of us left. maybe more?? OMG I must be annoying..whine whine whine.

[hmr11913]

Omg you look so adorable, seriously... are you like the cutest pregnant lady ever.. have fun at your party!

NO worries!!! I feel like a broken record whining about lack of sleep. If it's not one thing it's another. Haha

[requiressnacks]

I'm finally going to see my newborn pics today!!!

[WineNChocolate]

hmr11913, haha probably not the cutest ever..but thank you. My tights are silly comfy. Agnes and Dora, just like LuLu Roe tights. Oh in my baskets are chocolates, homemade M&M bars, homemade Peppermint Sugar scrub and Homemade hot cocoa mix.

crimpgirl, Oh what are Sweet legs? I am assuming super comfy tights? 8 days doesn't that sound like so soon...like its just going to pass by and you'll still be where you are now. I will keep you in those prayers of it just happens...maybe during this polar vortex. Speaking of polar vortex..what kind of temps are you in. We are like 11 with windchill that is 7, Fahrenheit of course.

requiressnacks, oh no the non sleep is worse than being still preggers..so you have all the right to complain. AND your on double duty!

[hmr11913]

requiressnacks be sure to post some! I love newborn pics, ESPECIALLY twinsies! and I hear you on lack of sleep... N was up like every 90 min or so last night wanting to eat, then of course she'd zone out after 5 min of eating and I'd still be awake... ugh. The newborn stage is so tiring, I can't imagine with 2. Has DH been better?

WineNChocolate - I just heard about Agnes & Dora last week... apparently she's a sister of the LLR gal? Your baskets sound amazing!

It's -35 here today with the windchill... poor DH works outside. His boss took them all out for breakfast this morning which was really nice. Poor guy's been tuckered out by like 6:30 and ready to go to bed after working in that all day.

[Winnifred]

crimpgirl & WineNChocolate, loving the holiday looks, you girls are so cute!!

Today has been rough so far, I'm hoping it gets better. Terrible roads this morning and tons of traffic made me 15 minutes late to my dr appointment. They have a parking ramp as well, so once you get there - it's like a whole different fight you have deal with just to get in the lot/wait for dumb asses/find a spot/wait for the elevator, etc.

I'm progressing a little bit, dr is hoping I go into labor on my own this weekend. So we'll see. I have another BPP this afternoon and an NST on Monday. He was super happy with how good baby did on this past Monday so he's not concerned, just wants to keep an eye on things.

Oh and I'm at work now and we do not have heat (for the 2nd day in a row). My window has frost on the inside. At least I picked up Starbucks for myself on the way in, right?

[WineNChocolate]

Winnifred, wait you have to work when you have no freaking heat?!?!!? What the what.. no.

crimpgirl, Thicker I will have to look these up. I would like some thicker ones..but just as soft right? I would think that you would be colder..can I be nosy and ask where in Canada you are?

hmr11913, I see they are grabbing up the market...lol. I am obsessed with how comfy they are! I will be ordering more for after baby is here to lounge in.

DH thinks he got food poisoning last night so he was up all night. It wouldn't be so bad except every time he gets up the dog follows him and she's a loud walker.

I'm bummed that we aren't able to make our annual trip to SF this year to see our friends' youth band play. It's always a fun little trip and I get to stock up on gluten free treats while in the city, but I can't take the hour/90 minute car ride.

This week has just dragged on for me. I imagine next week is going to be even worse.

Don't get discouraged! I never even lost my MP with DD2 and she came on her own. I lost it with DD1 like a week and a half before she was born.

[WineNChocolate]

@cahistoryteacher, I am sorry you won't make your trip, is it just to uncomfortable and too far should you go into labor? I am right here with you on the week dragging. I have to work tomorrow and there is nothing really going on..so it will be a long one. Then I have to work all next week OR till he decides to show up.

mrsp121308, Was DD2 on time? early, hoping you will say early..lol. Yeah DD I lost hers like 2 weeks prior to labor.

[Winnifred]

WineNChocolate, I know, right? This happened several times last winter and I have no idea why we didn't budget for a new heating system. We're in a refurbished building so I'm sure it's expensive as hell, but it's a necessity...

I never lost my MP with either of my pregnancies, atleast that in aware of... so there's hope!

[Deleted]

WineNChocolate, mostly uncomfortable to be in the car that long. Plus the place the band performs (big public building) won't let you sit on the ground so I'm not about to stand for the hour+ of their set.

We have one season here so it's been in the low 70's the last few days. I'd actually kind of like some cold at some point, but I guess it could be worse.

FI wants me to go to his therapy session with him today to discuss some stuff, so the girls are going to hang out with their grandpa for a couple hours. Then DD1 has her preschool class. No real plans other than that. I feel like because my doctor told me that the baby would probably be here early, that means he's definitely going to be either right on time or late. I've been having some contractions, but nothing regular or consistent. This pregnancy has been so different than my other two; with both girls I had preterm contractions/labor almost throughout the whole third trimester. At least I don't have that worry this time, but I also feel like progress has stalled. I keep just trying to tell myself it's only 9 more days until my due date, and even if I go over, I won't be pregnant forever. There is an end in sight!

DH has been OK. He isn't the best at any MOTN feedings (he doesn't do any!), but he's been helping in other ways. He washes bottles, cleans, let's the dog out, etc. I think the newborn stage is hard for some guys, especially when the babies often prefer mama.

We had our one month pediatrician appointment this morning which turned into a 2 hour appointment. The pediatrician felt a bump on Noras clavicle so she sent us next door to do x-rays because she thinks she probably fractured it during birth and that it's starting to heal now. They don't do anything for infant clavicle fractures except watch them and Nora has no symptoms of it bothering her. They are supposed to call us later with the results.

My in laws are stopping by for the afternoon on their way to their lake house in Vermont, so I look forward to having a calm afternoon at home with my DH and girls

I feel like a broken record, but it is SO. FREAKING. COLD. I felt so bad for the kids this morning. Usually H drives them to school on his way to work, but he had to leave early for a doctors appointment, so they had to catch the bus. They only stood outside for maybe 5 minutes, but 5 minutes is too long in this cold! I would have driven them if it weren't for Cora.

Thankfully, tomorrow is supposed to be a little better -- not much, but a little. But then there is the snow they're calling for. Ugh.

WineNChocolate, that outfit is all kinds of amazing.

requiressnacks, the lack of sleep feels like torture! Hopefully it gets a little better for you soon.

The internet went down for my entire school district today and just went back up, so glad I didn't miss anything! I mean, what am I supposed to do all day while my students work on projects!? Seriously though, I was so bored- I couldn't even enter grades. I organized all my book shelves and supply cabinets at the level where I didn't have to bend over. So the top 2 shelves are all nice and neat and organized and the bottom 2 look like crap still.

[WineNChocolate]

I bought 3 cans of pineapple...lol..let it begin. Next week its eggplant Parmesan.

I've been craving pineapple! Any reason for buying it? If it induces labour I will go clear the shelves

It's one of the old wive's tales lol, but yum pineapple! FI and DD1 are allergic, so I don't buy it very often.

Its delicious worth a try. Also some squats and lunges.

Ahhhh I've missed so much! So excited and thrilled for the new bebes!

Yesterday was my last day of work so crazy busy and today was my first day of leave. I STILL have this annoying cold thing (so many tissues and so much coughing) and so have been a bit run down and out of it. Today I had a pedicure and tomorrow I have a haircut appointment. I'm at 12000+ steps for today and hoping to walk this baby out! No appointment or check until Tuesday though.
