I'm on my own today since H went back to work. I'll be seeing my mom and grandma today though so that will be nice. I need to run out and grab them a small gift because I am a horrible procrastinator.

Happy mother's day everyone! It doesn't quite feel real for me yet even though I've been a fur mom for years and have been protecting this little baby for over 9 months. But it will be real very very soon lol.
We're going to brunch with my mom and MIL which will be fun or at least delicious. Then we have our last prenatal visit with our doula tonight. We have to pack our hospital bags today too because I definitely started getting more intense bh this weekend which freaked us out that the baby could come sooner and we wouldn't be ready.
Last night we had 2 of my bffs and their husbands over for a last pre-baby dinner and they all did a poll of when they thought I would go. After the last 2 days DW picked Wednesday which better not happen and one husband picked next Saturday which I also don't want lol. Please let me make it to graduation!!!
Me: 32, Wife: 38, Together for 5 years, Married for 2 years IUI #1 (8/2016): Letrozole, Ovidrel, Crinone = BFN IUI #2 (9/2016): Letrozole, Ovidrel, Endometrin = BFP!! EDD 5/26/17
I am really hoping this baby gets here around when DS did. That would be 2 days from now. I am SO ready at this point. When I time my mild cx on an app it tells me to "get hospital bag ready" but I know they're nowhere near strong enough yet so... we shall see.
In non-uterus news, we planted some flowers in our outdoor pots yesterday and they make me happy
Happy Mothers Day to all the Mamas and Mamas to be! A baby today would be lovely so I don't have to decide about going back to work tomorrow or not. DS was 2 days late so by his schedule I should already be in active labor by now haha!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mamas of outside and inside babies! My parents, in-laws, and H's grandparents are coming to my house for lunch. MIL is just bringing sandwich rings and some sides since it's easy because I sure as hell wasn't cooking for everyone! H got me birthstone charms for my pandora bracelet - one for each kid. He's also sending me for a mani and pedi this week while he's home so that's nice.
People have been wishing me happy Mother's Day and it feels weird and surreal.
It's raining and dreary out and we are laying low, especially since H is still sick. I've still got a lot of things left on my things to get done so I'm trying to motivate myself, which is hard.
Question: what does everyone do with their cloth wipes? Do you use a solution and store them wet? Keep them dry and spray the wipe or baby directly? Or do you just use water most of the time? I guess I oughta just try them different ways and see what I like best?
I have Baby Bum Drops and Honest Company's bottom wash spray that were gifted to me.

I haven't started using cloth wipes yet... using up the rest of some disposable wipes we were gifted first, But I have a wipes warmer and plan to just use water on them.
Happy mother's day! I was hoping for a mother's day baby, but that doesn't seem to be in the cards. That's ok
We went on a nice, long walk with the dogs and now I'm being lazy on the couch. I think I shall make popcorn soon. I have my mom's present but I'm just going to give it to her when they come down for the baby.

Happy mothers day to everyone! Just having a low key day around here. Went to breakfast and the grocery store this morning and my ILs are coming by later this afternoon. It's gorgeous out today so we been playing outside some. Oh and DH put my joovy caboose together and dd approves. She likes to climb around on it already! Will still use my city mini gt from dd quite a bit as well, but nice to have the option for longer outings/walks with dd and baby for her to sit or stand!

the title in the App Store is "contraction timer 9m - smart labor" something. Blue icon with white drawing of a baby face in a circle. It was like the 2nd or 3rd result when I searched for "contraction timer"

We used a wipes warmer with DS with just water. I'll either do the same with this one or use a spray bottle with water and just wet the wipes as we go.

I use water...either with a spray bottle or extra peri bottle I acquired somehow at the hospital....I wet the wipe
Happy Mother's Day to everyone! MIL stopped by this morning with SIL to see the baby. Some other family are supposed to stop by today so we'll see if they come over. My dad called this morning to wish me a happy Mother's Day which was nice.

It's pretty no-frills but works well enough.
strike that. I just downloaded another free one called Full Term, it's waaaay better.

I used full term both times. I found it easy to use, and I liked I could reset it as needed when they fizzed out
Happy Mother's Day to the first timers, current and soon to be moms.
We were on track today to have dinner by 8:30. My husband is asleep on the couch I don't want to wake him. Dinner can wait, especially since our bodies are adjusting to the new schedule. He did a ton today to let me sleep as much as possible so I'm trying to return the favor.
Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mommies and mommies-to-be on May '17!!
I'm still in the hospital with DS3, so I missed DS 1&2 today but I was able to Face Time them earlier which was super cute. And I know I should enjoy the peace and quiet hospital time with DS3 while I can! We might be able to go home tomorrow. We have to get DS circumcised tomorrow and I guess it all depends on when my Dr has a chance to come by and get that all done! Poor DS3 also has hydroceles, his balls are HUGE and fluid filled. You can see the bulge in his diaper they are so big. Never seen anything like that, lol!

My son had one hydrocele - it went away after a month or two I think? Definitely went away naturally and never seemed to bother him. So odd tho!!
