I'm just trying to make it through the next 7 hours. Fridays are notoriously crazy in my office anyway with really random things popping up at like 3pm. Also, no one seemed to show up today...apparently everyone wants a 4 day weekend instead of just 3. So, I can't even skip out early...

Not only is it Friday the 13th, but my husband said it's also a full moon! Sooooo... who's having a baby today?!
I'm hoping we're slow at work. I'd like to leave early and get some grocery shopping done. We're low on just about everything and I need to buy freezer meal stuff. The kicker? We're supposed to get up to 2" of ice/sleet/snow from midnight through tomorrow, so I know the whole world will be at the store. FX I can leave at 2 p.m. today.
And I'm 35w today (more like 37.5 since he's measuring so far head). Eek! SO MUCH TO DO!

Today is my birthday ILs are coming in to town this afternoon and are staying the long weekend to help assemble nursery furniture, etc. I hope we will all behave ourselves.
Glorious day 2 of working from home. Didn't make my lasagna roll freezer meal so hopefully do it today. Short work day for me because I have an US at 11 and see OB at 11:45. I can definitely see and feel a difference in my feet and ankles from not being at work yesterday- not as swollen! Maybe by tonight I'll see my ankle bones again- FX.
Shit- literally just got a no real from a co-worker that now she will be covering my desk. I've been planning and prepping another girl for the last month. So many hours wasted....and my mngr didn't wanna worry me so he didn't even tell me!!!???WTF!

I did some more washing of things and putting away yesterday. And I ordered our floating bookshelves this morning, so those will be delivered Sunday. It's all starting to come together! My sister and I are shopping tomorrow for the last few things for the nursery, and hopefully next weekend we'll get the curtains and blinds set up. It's getting real now!
FFFC: I found the visitation policy for a women's hospital in Ohio that requires visitors to have documentation of a flu shot if they are visiting the maternity ward during flu season. I changed it around a bit and sent it to my H. I didn't tell him it was from our hospital but I didn't say it wasn't ... he got the message through to them that no flu shot = no visit last night on the phone. Lord help me when they show up to visit with their receipts from Walgreens and the hospital is like, WTF is this for?

DS's MDO just sent out an emailing letting us know a kid got diagnosed with freaking H1N1! Are you kidding me?! DNW that in my house! Other than that heading to meet a family to plan a funeral for tomorrow, then prepping the house for my nephew's birthday party tomorrow. Thankfully the funeral is at 10 and the party is at 2.

I'm currently in the waiting room for my appointment. They are packed, running late, and lost my FMLA paperwork I was supposed to pick up today. Not off to a good start. Just get me home to my bed people....

Appointment went well. Didn't gain any weight which is a huge plus at this point since I've gained plenty the last 36+ weeks. Baby's HR was good, GBS was negative, and cervix is still closed. (I wouldn't mind being 2-3).

oldbaylover1024 ugh I know ice everywhere coming up! I used my single day off left to take care of dd yesterday after she puked. Now I'm wishing I had it for Monday when the ice storm comes 😐 good luck tomorrow, stay safe!

My productivity at work today and yesterday has been abysmal. I'm on my lunch break now but I have to focus more this afternoon, otherwise next week will be a nightmare. I'm exhausted and feeling a little sick, so it's hard.
I plan to work until the baby comes but I will probably cry if that is much past my due date.
I'm actually plowing through some stuff today, so that's good. I need to finish this insane document and I'm about halfway through where I need to be so I think even if I can't finish it today, I'll definitely be able to get it done tomorrow morning.
My sister must have some free time today because she's emailing me all these great nursery ideas. We're trying to get everything either bought or ordered this weekend so that next weekend we can put everything in there and have it be all set up. I love some of the things she found today! I ordered a lilac whale piggy bank today from Etsy with her name on the tail and I'm 95% sure I'm ordering a mirror she found on wayfair, I just need to figure out where we're going to put it.

This is me too. I'm so jealous of people who already have end dates for work.
oldbaylover1024 - since you mentioned it, if anyone is having a baby today it will be you!
I get my windshield replaced this afternoon and tomorrow we are driving to my IL's for a late Christmas. DH informed me last night that he will be driving. I'm scared. Backstory: never had a driver's license, got his permit after we found out we were expecting, and he needs more practice. A 1.5 hour trip on the interstate where I cannot take sleepy drugs or drink afterwards is not my idea of a fun time.
Also, I see that today is TCF's b-day which marks 2 years since I had surgery to remove fibroids. I remember logging onto TD in the evening and being so confused over the mass exodus and not understanding anything while still having the anesthesia meds in me. The next day I understood what happened but I seriously thought I was tripping the evening before. There's my fun story of the day.

crazycatlady I tried describing the "mass exodus" story to DH a week ago. I'm sure I sounded like an idiot describing how all my internet friends disappeared one day and how long it took me to find them 😂I was having a long slow labor the week after the move and was super distracted. After I had dd on 1/24 I had nobody to tell lol. A huge group of my board did a Facebook thing and I had never joined. I regretted it when my board disappeared haha and it was private by then. Wah wah 😑

That was my plan until I hit 3rd trimester and went "Hell no!" I don't think I can handle this stress. So I needed an end date so I could tell myself how many more days and have something to look forward to. Unless she comes early, and then he can deal.
It was actually completely unexpected. We drove over an hour away to test drive a Hyundai Santa Fe, which I didn't care for and, on the way out, spied a Subaru Tribeca on the lot- the car I have been searching for for months! I swear, finding one has been like hunting the white whale. Every time I saw one online and called about it, it was already sold...and I was searching in a 200 mile radius. After calling H's mechanic uncle to come down and check it out, which he graciously did last-minute, and test driving it, we bought it! I am unbelievably thrilled. It has everything I wanted in a family car and a ton more. So relieved that the search is over and a really big thing can be checked off the to-do list.

Anyone know of an app that reminds you to get up and move around? I'm just now coming to terms with the fact that I have not been active enough in my 3rd Tri. I want to get up and walk/do lunges etc, little workouts in my cube every so often. I could set alarms but just curious if there is a convenient app to alert me as well 🤔 TIA
Well another uneventful appt. BP was pretty high - 20pt jump but the news of my backfill changing has me freaking out. Hormonally debating not taking the full 12 weeks now. And pissed with the total lack of communication on it from my mngr. if I didn't think I'd type or say something I'd regret later I'd bring up today.
Appt details. No weight gain, BAby A is measuring 5lbs 10 oz and Baby B is 5lbs 12oz...so over 11lbs of babies in me. Crazy!!!! Cervix is closed but I am 50% effaced. Both are still sideways. Was kinda sad because my doctors other set of twins delivered last week- I was further along. Boo...
