It's finally anniversary day! DH gave me birthstone rings for the kids, including the one incubating. We are heading out to try for the lottery for Wicked tickets. FX we get them. After that it is all up in the air. We are up for an adventure.
We are organizing the play room, and then going over to watch our friends 3 kids (plus our two!). Please keep them in your thoughts, his mom had a stroke and is in a coma, and his dad has terminal pancreatic cancer. There is always something to be grateful for!

Rarity fx that you and DS start feeling better. Tooth aches are no joke.
lotsofdotts yay for anniversary day! I really hope you can get those tickets. I would love to see Wicked but I highly doubt it's something DH would ever do with me.
I was up off and on all night with what I think were contractions. They were period like cramps again but not too severe. After a few minutes of them I was able to fall back asleep each time. Now it's time to get up and get ready for Church. I'll check back in this afternoon
Last night was my last night of work for 9 weeks! I'm currently trying to gather up energy to finish cleaning the house. But sitting here in my robe with my coffe cup sounds so much better!

Just got back from breakfast....something we have been making an effort to get out and do every Sunday morning. I had a yummy bacon egg and cheese with home fries, but I was still hungry afterwards and DH ordered me stuffed french toast to go. He loves me.
It is gross outstide today. It is hardcore raining at 32 degrees creating the worst road conditions. However, it does create GSW (good sleeping weather).
I'm going to get DH to drag the vaccuum upstairs and work on the guest room a bit.
@holachica - I really want to see Boyhood, is it worth going to the theatre for? I haven't been to see a movie in years and kind of feel like H and I need a date night before this baby is here.
38 weeks today! I'm waiting to see if we end up getting the freezing rain that half the east coast has. I'm hoping not, cause I was planning on getting some more errands done today. Gotta get a nursing bra or two and a mattress protector. I also wanted to make chili to freeze. Anyone have a good way of freezing chili? Should I just put it in Tupperwares?
I'm spending the day in my pajamas cleaning and nesting today. It's freezing rain outside so we are hibernating. This morning H made us breakfast AND cleaned the kitchen. He only side-eyed me a little for sitting in the living room with Adeline and watching Sesame Street and not lifting a finger.
I'm going a whine a little bit now. I feel like I was hit by a bus last night... soooo much head congestion, my ears are pounding and I've had bad back contractions most of the night. Tylenol isn't doing anything for it either

Good morning ladies! I just put a call in to page the on call doctor at my practice... I can't stand this itching anymore. What started as just itchy stretch marks on Friday is now a rash on my arms and legs too. It's got to be PUPPs. I feel ridiculous calling the after hours line for a rash when I have an appointment tomorrow, but I want to make sure it's nothing I need to address before that. I guess that's what they're there for, right?
Also my second baby shower is today which also made me hesitant to call. I don't want to miss it!!

Good morning! Dh and I picked up some Krispy Kreme this morning. I've already had three.
Nothing else on the agenda today except watching the Green Bay and Seattle game. As a Bears fan I hate to go for the Packers, but I really don't like the Seahawks.
36 weeks today! I'm excited that little Piko is getting closer to full term but am also scared, not sure if we're ready for the big changes in our lives. I hope I'll be a good parent.
DH installed the car seat in my car last night (without me asking) and bought some books he says he'll read to the kid. I think it's finally getting very real for him.
I had another dream about my water breaking, I must be obsessed with it to have that featured 3 nights in a row. Time to get out the mattress protector!
flyster, I like to freeze soup in gallon ziplocks. Easier to store and defrost.
@lotsofdots, happy anniversary!
@ racheltherose, I hope you can do your shower and then get some relief!
I had random contractions all day yesterday but no consistency and they stopped in the evening. So glad I have yoga and a massage and a pedicure today!
We're headed out to childbirth class at the hospital all day. It's been awhile so we wanted a refresher plus I'm looking forward to DH practicing the massage part.
Top Golf was fun last night, but I'm incredibly sore this morning! I managed to hit the ball & score points a few times and did better than a few guys there. Still interesting to attempt swinging a club with a big bump & boobs.

Feeling pretty accomplished this weekend. 37 weeks monday.
Car seat -- installed Curtains in nursery -- done Packed what I can for my bag and little bits. -- done. (I'm sure I over packed but I'd rather have too much)

DH and I just woke up. Kids are still sleeping. I'm wondering how hard it will be to twist DH's arm to take us out for brunch today. I will officially be 37 weeks tomorrow and it will be 4 days until we head to the hospital to meet LO.
Rant: DH had to go to a banquet last night, this girl we can't stand who his former friend may or may not have knocked up was there too with said former friend. Someone asked how much longer for me and DH said we go in on Friday. DH said as soon as he said that cue the side eye and she started bitching at him about how wrong it was etc she'd never let a dr induce...etc etc etc. He just let her rant but said I should have seen the guys there who know what's going on tell his former friend he better shut her up or move her to the other side of the room. Kinda wish I had been there to see it lol

Today is the Packer game and DH is so damn excited. He is like a kid on Christmas. I have so much to do today but literally no motivation to do it. I'm at the point where I feel like I have a crap ton to do but freaking out because I don't know where to start. After this bowl of honey bunches of oats I will start
I just had a pinterest fail. I tried to make some sweet potato quinoa fritters for lunch and they didn't hold together at all. So I am eating a plate of mush and grill cheese for everyone else! Now I have a good reason to nest all over this kitchen... I made a huge mess.

Good morning ladies! I started to post this yesterday, but then my family arrived and I didn't get to. My mom threw me a small surprise shower on Friday. The biggest surprise was that my Aunt and my Cousin from FL were here! We had a great time. Then yesterday, we went shopping for Miss Madeline. I finally feel like we have everything we NEED for her arrival, the rest of the stuff on the registry is just wants. Today, we're going out for nursing bras and thank you cards. It's going to be a fabulous day! I am disappointed though that DH and I didn't get our date night this weekend and may not get one next weekend either. I really wanted one more before Madeline's arrival, but that may not happen.

Well, the first lottery of the day was a bust, but we have another chance at 4:30. Even if we don't get tickets, we are having fun just hanging out and being out without kiddos. It's lunch time. Time to feed the little monster and mommy!

Happy Sunday everyone.
It is freezing rain over here too. H went to get new tires put on my car and is also supposed to be installing the base car seats in both of our cars today.
I hope those who aren't feeling well start feeling better! Home stretch!
I was planning on finishing my scrapbook for Bubble, but come to find out my printer is out of ink. So now I am probably going to just watch football and make lasagna later. One more week of work!

Just got the call back from the doctor.. She didn't seem too concerned which makes me feel better. They're going to run labs on me at my scheduled appointment tomorrow. She didn't really offer any advice for relief until then tho Blah!!!! At least I still get to attend my shower and I feel better about this not being a major concern.
