We went to breakfast and now I have a fitness class. This afternoon is crib assembly and returning some Xmas gifts if we can. I'm hoping I work on clothes clean out, too. And laundry.
I have to work Monday which I'm always bitter about. Living in the land of government workers and not getting federal holidays off sucks.

I survived basketball with ds! And we are not iced in like everyone thought we would be. It's misting rain so there is still a chance I guess.
I'm still pretty congested, but not like I was yesterday thanks to some mucinex-d. Unfortunately this crud has moved down into my chest some. Thankfully dh will be on his way home from teaching soon so he can take over.
Pretty sure this cold moved into sinus infection territory. I'm in a good bit of pain on my face. But, DS seems back to his normal self so that's good.
Baby's room is almost finished! Just need to get/hang curtains and decide if I want a white crib or not.

So much for being excited for dh to be home and help take care of DS. He laid down on the couch after he got done working on his laptop and is now asleep. When he stirred I asked him if it was a rough day and he said "it was an early day." Oh. I believe I'm the one that woke you up so I've also been up the same amount of time and took our kid to basketball, which is parent participation. I'm also sick. Oh and 30 weeks pregnant.
I was feeling guilty about leaving tomorrow night for work but not anymore.
So. I just printed off a birth plan template because that's a thing we are supposed to do right? Will nurses just roll their eyes when I hand it to them?
Also starting to feel really really unprepared for labor/birth. I haven't thought much about it until now...gotta do some reading I guess.

We just wrote a few basic things we wanted:
For DH to cut the cord No epidural unless I specifically asked for it No relatives in the labor and delivery room except for DH. (maybe something else I don't remember)
The nurses read it over and complimented us on it being simple and straightforward. I'm sure they get some crazy requests that make them roll their eyes.
I printed one off of TD and over half of it I'm like "IDK" and "Whatever the doctor(s) and nurses think is necessary". The only things I seem to know or care about are what I would like to happen after delivery, assuming we are all healthy.

mosdub I didn't have a written one but I had an idea of what I wanted, if possible. It went out the window with an induction anyway, but also upon touring L&D I learned various policies and what was available for laboring that might have otherwise ended up on a plan.
My mantra was, "a healthy baby, outside of my body, at the appropriate time." The only part of that I could guarantee was "outside of my body," but that was my ultimate goal. The rest is details.
Hi all! It's been an insane few days as I've officially kicked my butt into gear at work to try and get everything done asap. I think the babies dropped as I can't get comfortable sitting on the couch.
So.. random positive of being in the hospital. Your doctor can prescribe you Norco for a migraine that is bad enough to make you cry involuntarily
My DH brought the older girls to the hospital to see the ultrasound my MFM did while they were here. I can't believe she's estimating him to be at five lbs already! Eeps! I'm so glad though I'm constantly working on finding positives in the situation and I found another. This little one definitely got his head size from my husband. Also adorable was seeing the grin on my dh's face when she pointed to the fuzzy line that is his head now and said that was hair. None of my other four had much hair when they came.. looks like this little boy is going to look like his daddy
Ooh, also! I finally heard a baby cry! You'd think being in a room on the L&D wing I'd hear that more often, but these doors are good at keeping the sound out / in. It was sooo sweet.
mosdub, don't worry about what the nurses think. Honestly, I think the only thing I'd do when handing it to them is say that it is a preference list but your child's safety comes first. That should solve any eye rolls ^_~
Hi to everybody else! I read.. I got grossed out by the cupcakes! I agreed with the Noooo
P.S. I am rolling through every emotion as I think about it only being 2-1/2 weeks until I meet my son!!! AHHHHH!!!
Oh and we had photos for the church directory today and I don't even recognize myself. Holy hell. Literally. 50 lbs. thankfully they will be back in a year to do updated photos.
H and I are stuck on the circ debate. Have we had a discussion on here about it?
I don't think we've had that discussion.
When my doctor asked, my DH said we were still discussing it... which surprised me because I thought I'd been okay with going with his preference of not doing it. He blames occasional lack of sensitivity on his circ so he had said no to it..
I miss my doggie. It's been a little over 24 hours since we all said our final goodbyes to her, and my body is still in shock. I barely managed to get 1.5 hours of sleep last night, and I'm down 3-4lbs since yesterday morning, even despite my best efforts to eat and drink. Hopefully my body will start coming to peace with things soon...
~hugs~ Fur kids fill such a special place in our hearts.

Silly lady. I'm still on the You-are-doing-amazing-carrying-twins bandwagon over here
missi what a great update! Our friends had their boy full term and he was only 5+ pounds and perfectly healthy. Of course we want baby missi to keep growing and developing as long as possible, but it's nice to know he's already got some chunk!

H is leaning toward circ, whereas I'm leaning away from it. It's such a difficult decision with a lot of passionate views from all angles and it's stressing me out a little. I don't know if it's my nature of being a mediator in general, but sometimes I can see the validity of both sides too well and it makes it hard for me to land somewhere.

H is against and I lean towards not doing it. But I sometimes worry that it will be the wrong choice down the road - like the kid would be made fun of or something like that. I think in this case not having the body part in question makes it hard for me to decide or be sure.

I know where you're coming from with being worried about teasing.
Possible TMI.
We didn't circ DS, because DH isn't. I asked if he was ever given a though time about by other guys and he looked at me like I had three heads. He said verbatim "Guys don't sit around comparing dicks." Lol
I really think it's just preference. Really whatever choice that's made is fine.
My god, if my sinuses don't feel better by Monday I'm going to a Dr. I'm not sure if it's just because I'm pregnant or what but I don't remember them ever being this bad.
Sorry about your dog @amc25, losing a pet is hard.
callmeKD, you are doing an amazing job growing your babies!
Circumcision: we did not do it for DS. It never occurred to me until it came up at a prenatal appointment. Neither DH or I had strong feelings on it, it's not something really done in our families as far as we know (based on DH and our brothers) so we decided to go with not since we didn't feel there were any particular benefits.
