MH is off to Salt Lake City, then driving to Provo. I am really hoping for no winter weather. This is the last plane trip. Next week he is off to Penn State. I'm just done with this traveling stress and I am not the one doing it. I am also getting a cold. Woot.

DH cut his finger last night, and from the sounds he was making I thought he cut it clean off. It's a decent cut, but nothing some pressure followed by a bandaid couldn't fix. I cannot even with him sometimes. I did discover I really need to clean out and organize my First Aid supplies/bathroom cabinets.
Work is pretty crazy this week. I have my work shower today so I dressed up a bit. I might cheat and take a HDBD photo today since I look more decent than usual.
I got some actual sleep last night and now I actually feel a little better. Whichever one if you hus suggested I sleep with more pillows at an incline I thank. It helped so much.
I woke up in the middle of the night with a horrible taste in my mouth and an inferno in my chest/throat. I havent had heartburn while sleeping during this pregnancy so I hope this was just a fluke.
I think today I will measure the wall space in the nursery where I want my H to make floating shelves for. I am starting to freak out that the nursery is nowhere near done. Im waiting on a cheque that I plan to put towards some baby things, including the dresser and area rug. I hate to put anything on credit since we just recently paid it off but I am beginning to think I should and just pay it when I get the cheque.
erinshelley21 - thin crust pizza is actually something that works well for me with GD. I add a salad and the right amount of insulin and I'm set. Hang in there!
Today my mom's group is having a pajama party for the kids. aka, don't have to get your kid dressed for the day. Very smart mom who organizes the play date themes very smart.
'nother migraine last night. Ugh. Right-sided this time. I .. hate.. migraines. ~flail~
My nurse gets them as well and was an absolute sweetheart. It's just a dull ache after ramping up slowly throughout the night to the 10mg Norco. At least I'm wear I can ramp up meds?
For all of you fighting colds ~huge long distance hugs~ Being sick while preggo bites soo much more than being sick normally. @priss08, isn't that trick of being propped up amazing? Ah gravity
@amc25, glad you got some sleep last night. ~moar hugs~
I kinda got my wish on my dh's paternity leave. He was going to start it this Thursday and be with me here in the hospital more for spousal support. I finally got used to the idea and loved it.. and then the company that approves or denies such things told him they don't pay for leave until the baby is born. Oops So, he had to delay it until Feb 1st. Backtrack liking the idea of him being here for the next week and a half with me.. but at least he'll be around extra after the little one is born.
Someone.. save me! They want to weigh me today! I've been lounging at home for a month and a half and now two weeks of being fed constantly and sitting in a hospital bed. I do NOT want to see this weight ><
I must look like a house today because I am getting ALL the comments at work today. My favorite so far was the 4th grader that said, "are you going to have a baby?"
Me: "why, yes I am." Her: "Yeah.....I could tell."

I just got out of my appt. I feel so much better about what I'm allowed to eat. Off to the grocery!
missi sorry your Hs leave didnt work out as planned! Its too bad we are only able to be text on a screen and cant take turns coming by to give you some company (and lots of hugs). Ignore the scale! It is a lying liar that lies and you dont need that negativity in your life
I'm taking an online Master's level class because I need it to keep my teaching certificate up to date. I can not put it off. Yes, I shouldn't have procrastinated, but here I am. The last class I took in the fall was completely independent, and I was able to plug away and get several weeks worth of work done ahead of time. I assumed (there was my first mistake) that this next course would be the same way - I would plug away at it and get the majority of the work done before baby comes.
WRONG. This prof is having us meet in TWO different social groups (which means somehow coordinating times online to meet in skype with 2 different groups of people multiple times throughout the semester). We also have to do group presentations, group discussions and IRL interviews with students and teachers. AH!
I'm trying to balance being honest with my group mates (uh, guise, I might fall off the face of the earth for a week because who-da-fuck-knows when this baby is actually going to come and if there will be complications, even though I'm not expecting anything out of the ordinary) and not wanting people to roll their eyes that I'm a speshul snowflake that everyone else has to accommodate. I also don't want to screw people over who are counting on me. So far I've basically said "Hey, I'm expecting to go on maternity leave around the end of March. I'd prefer to do some of this stuff earlier, but only so I don't leave you all in the lurch. If you want to space out the work that's fine, I'll do my best to make it happen"
Then there's this OTHER part of me that feels bad if I'm seemingly flaunting the fact that I'm pregnant to people I don't know, in case they are struggling with IF or a recent loss - but maybe that's me being too sensitive to the needs of others?
erinshelley21, I'm glad the doctors helped you understand what you can have and that you're feeling better about everything! Get some delish groceries!!!
corinne I'm definitely not trying to focus on it just because I know last year at this time if I was in a group and someone was throwing it around I would be a little irritated (even though that's not fair, emotions are emotions) Thanks for reassuring me! It's hard to communicate online sometimes, and I'm worried I'm coming off the wrong way.
jnow thanks for the reassurance! In one group it's 3-4 of us, and I'm not sure about the other group yet.
Also, I'm 34 weeks today! 3 weeks to term, 1 week to when my son was born. JTTW
You're goin' to 39 or 40 weeks for both of us, cosmicav! We were both aiming for that, and I can't.. so it has to be you
I remember the last two weeks leading up to the the twins gestational birth age in comparison with this pregnancy. It took me another three weeks past to quit thinking about that way more than I felt I should have been. Know we're rooting for you to push right on past preemie status.
Honestly, I'm hoping I'm the only one with a preemie on this board. Not that I want one, but I have no choice.

I look terrible with permanent bed head at this point >.< I think I'd accept the company anyways.
Funny, lots of people said they were going to stop in and keep me company.. only my family has. I am okay though.
Here is a tip for any of you that end up stuck in a hospital for even a few days. Skype (or Facetime). We leave it open on the xbox one in the livingroom. I'm on the tv any time my girls need me... and I get the comfort of hearing (and seeing) my home life for most of my day. It definitely makes my day go faster.
I just cleaned out my side of the bathroom sink (so only 3 drawers) and I think I threw away at least 75% of what was in there. So much expired pharmacy items like restoralax and heat pads. What makes me mad is they almost all expired before we moved into this house. Why did I pack and move these things?!?!? I still have our bathroom cabinet to go through (so much perfume and various lotions) and my Hs side. He has so much shitty old body spray like axe that he has been hanging onto since we were 18. He better toss those or I'll go cray.
The only downside to all this purging is that you cannot see an improvement in my bathroom because it is all hidden.
