We survived the snow storm up here! Got a couple feet of snow but didn't lose power so I'll take it. I had a couple hours of pretty uncomfortable waves of cramps (definitely contractions, but I was in denial so never got to timing them) before/during dinner. I just kept thinking "it would take us forever to snow blow out and get to the hospital..this could suck". Fortunately (/unfortunately because I'm so done!) they stopped.
I dreamt I had DD though! Super pain free and smooth/fast delivery, so fingers crossed that happens IRL haha
Dr appt in a few hours, gonna mention the contractions, decreased movement and extra "is that pee or fluid" the last couple days and see what she says. Happy hump day!
We had a snow day yesterday and dc is closed again today because of down power lines. It's my last day before leave and i had a few things i wanted to do.

It's too cold and windy to go out so we're stuck inside for the second day in a row. I would really like some Starbucks. Baby is a week old today! Time is going way too quickly.

ugaqueencity I hope your headache goes away. We need more newborn clothes too. I thought we had enough but DD spits up a bunch and like you I think we're going to be in them for a while.

We didn't get hardly any snow, which is shocking. It was absolutely spitting snow yesterday but only for about 20 minutes. It even snowed for a decent chunk of time on Monday but that was only enough to cover sidewalks and such but also not enough to warrant being shoveled.
DH is going home tomorrow after we do maternity pictures in the morning. I'm staying with my mom for another week since I had a surprise c-section and DH is going to be in the field for the next week straight, trying to get oats drilled. My mom can help out during the day, and I'd be alone at home. I'm not looking forward to him leaving though...
But when I get home, I'll have a newly carpeted, finished living room and dining room to enjoy, so there's that to look forward too. And this week will give DH some time to get a few last minute things finished, like installing ceiling fans and fixing doors.
Currently trapped under a newborn. I am on the other bench when it comes to NB clothes. L was over 10lbs at birth so they never fit her I managed to squeeze her into a couple things I loved but only one time. Luckily, my Hs aunt is having a girl in April so I will just give them to her.
We got virtually no snow at all and I live in the snow belt. I'm further north than the storm was tracking though so I just got to sit and laaaaugh at all my family/friends in the GTA who were freaking out over potentially getting ~1ft of snow. I've been buried in snow since November!! It's your turn!

moutonrouge I've had great success with oxyclean and Dawn, too - you just can't make it in advance. Some oxyclean dissolved in water, a little bit of Dawn, then scrub into stain with toothbrush. Can also soak the garment.
Today I plan on staring out my window until FedEx shows up. I've been waiting on a cheque for 3 months now. 4 people are getting one. It was held up originally because one of us submitted their information late. That person, and one other had their cheque delivered yesterday but not me! Annoying. I think it's because of where I live but still frustrating. I really hope it shows up today.
I am so tired and over work. I didn't come in yesterday and you would think that was enough to make me feel ok about being here today. It's not. I am over everything
Well Dr appt was uneventful..she checked for any fluid leaking but nope, just poor bladder control. I apparently hadn't seen this Dr before, but I didn't like her. She was fine, but everything I mentioned she gave off the "there, there, you're just like every other super pregnant woman, everything is normal". I left just feeling super annoyed. My appt next week is with her too. I'm now up to 2 Drs from the practice that I hope aren't on if/when I go into labor.
We went to Sprouts for a few things and the cashier asked when I'm due. She looked completely shocked when I said "yesterday" and couldn't believe I was out shopping with my toddler.
I'm just pregnant, people. It's perfectly fine for me to live my life until this baby decides to be born. Right??
Yes. I did all the things with my first, who was perfectly content being an inside baby well past her due date.

Haha what else are you supposed to do, just sit at home and wait? People are crazy.

We went to get a tail light for the car and I remember a guy going oh wow, when are you due? I was like 3 days ago. He was completely shocked. I'm like dude. Walking will help plus I don't want to just sit around. wait it will make it worse!!

I was in college when DS1 was born and went to class 2 days before my due date (he was born right on time). Same reaction from my classmates. I was like "I'm not in labor so why shouldn't I be here?!"
I started looking into IUDs last night and I feel a thousand percent not excited for more vaginal invasiveness.
I took the BCP after having C and it made me feel terrible. I was on depo Provera prior to C and can't go back on it. I feel like the copper IUD is my only option. It seems like a perfectly good option but ugh.
Someone please tell me having it placed it isn't awful.

Well now I'm catching shit from the "extra" family of dh's. We were literally just texting 30 minutes ago about DD's weight check, she asked how I'm feeling, and if they could come visit in a couple days. I said of course just let us know when. She texted mil and said she doesn't feel like she's considered a grandparent.
I don't know if I said I could let her know how the check went, but they were here for 2 hours on Sunday and we got home Saturday evening and dd slept a total of 1.5 hours not on me. I barely remember Sunday. The only grandparent I texted was my own mom because that's just what I do.
