good: H told me he's taking 5/17-24 off! Only bc the surgeon he's assigned to be working with is also off that week, so he'd have no work to do anyway. Yay!
MOTN pregsomnia sexy time.
Bad: H is supposed to be rounding right now. I made breakfast so he could get dressed during... He finally got in the shower 15min after we finished eating our pancakes. We have somewhere to be in 3h. He has 20 patients to see. Sigh.

The cat is angry at SO and I and has been pissing on the couch and bed. So she has been exiled from there.
Until this morning when she decided to hide so I couldn't find her and had to leave all doors open so she can go in her box. Hopefully all will be well when we get home. Smart cat, knowing the pregnant lady wont go under beds or up high to get her, smart little cat.
I too apart the bassinet I assembled yesterday and called Amazon to return. I crammed it back into the box. Now I get to select a different one, and I'll use the Amazon gift card when we purchase the rest of the stuff on the "registry" and get one that has the function it is supposed to have.
I need to get in the shower but instead I'm on here and reading a book.
We are celebrating Mother's Day for me today, (and with both our moms tomorrow, so I won't be around much), but as I have a moment of silence in my bedroom right now, I must AW that part of the gift they just gave me is 3 different homemade by my H sugar scrubs! One is a vanilla latte one that smells amazing! Anyway, just think he is so sweet for putting those together

I'm so sorry your cat is doing that! I hope she stops ASAP for you. I had an issue with my cat as well and have had to introduce a second box and lock her out of certain rooms
I can balance my coffee cup on my belly - look mom, no hands!! Finally!! And Peanut has the hiccups so I can see the liquid bouncing (not to worry - it's barely lukewarm). Lol this is awesome!
Oh, and I suspect I have yet another yeast infection. Yipdee-freaking-doo. Only my third for this entire pregnancy but whose counting?
I had great intentions of cleaning and organizing alllll the things around the house this weekend. I'm an hour into it and I'm exhausted. Maybe the 'nesting' hasn't hit... Or I'm just a 9 month pregnant woman who gets tired easily!
Our photographer pushed back our maternity photos by an hour so she could feed her daughter so I ran to Target for more pantiliners (ENDLESS) and to try and find an adoption card for our friends. Who knew they were so hard to find?
We got a high chair delivered to our door this morning! Yay baby gifts!
DD was up before 6 today. How did we end up with a morning kid?!? DH and I both love to sleep in but not our kid. Boo.
I have a morning kid too! In all his 2 years and 3 months I can count on one hand how many times he has slept past 7am. It's definitely been an adjustment . On the plus side it means I'm never late to work. I have my own alarm clock. I wonder if the new baby will be the same.

Part of me hopes this one will sleep in but then I think what's the point. I'm up already with one, the other might as well be up too.
Sorry to all of you being woken up early, but I am so pleased that I was able to sleep past 9am today. I have slept like crap for the last several weeks, so I guess my body just needed the rest.
Although I am well rested, I am not motivated to do anything this morning. DH is at work and I really need to get some cleaning and organizing done. I haven't even gotten out of bed..
The night nurse last night needed to learn to use her quiet voice MOTN and in the early morning.... why are you coming in and talking normally - 1st it's MOTN, and 2nd my H was here last night too and was sleeping. Shut up lady!
I'm being lazy this morning too - my MFM is on rotation this week (YAY!) and they already did rounds... normally I get up and shower after that, but I don't want to yet....
I also had to remind my H earlier this week that Mother's Day was this weekend, not next. Glad I mentioned it before he scheduled a truck for moving our stuff from storage to our new house - he would have had some interesting reactions from our moms, and I would have been mad if he did the big move and didn't visit me on Mother's day with J!
My 5 year old's hair is out of control and I may have a melt down at Snip-Its because they are apparently unable to cut the front of his hair in a straight line - he has thick, stick straight hair and they always manage to get it cut diagonally across his forehead and I have to fix it at home. I'm thinking maybe I should try a barber shop this time.
We finally have everything delivered to our house from the registries and mostly everything set up, apart from some decorative things I'd like to put up. I feel like we are ready aside from some practical things that I'm sure will come up. It's a great feeling. After my sister gave birth on Thursday I felt like shit was getting real so I went to town. It was just the kick in the ass I needed
aaaand our photographer is at the wrong park so we're going to meet her. Bonus is that we will get some beautiful shots of downtown pgh in our maternity shoot! H is suuuuper annoyed though and it's already 80 degrees and humid as hell.

I'm feeling rough. I started swelling up a couple days ago and even after sleeping last night it didn't go down. I'm scared I won't be able to get my wedding ring off. Also, it really hurts to get up and shift positions. Lightning crotch and huge belly. I feel like I was doing great, and then all the sudden I'm just miserable. Like others have said, I have plans of doing so much around the house today, but it sounds so hard.
When DH got up for work at 6 AM this morning and jokingly complain that I wouldn't cuddle with him, I just lost it. I can't sleep for more than an hour or two at a time. I'm fucking exhausted. So I cried my eyes out for like a half hour and then fell back asleep. It doesn't help that he is so busy right now. I know I need to slow down and take care of myself better.

Oh no! But I have to say I love the idea of city scape shots as a maternity backdrop!

It's cool that you will have babies so close in age! Do you know if they will be the same sex? How are she and baby doing?
I am completely dumbfounded right now as to how this even happens. FIL, who spent the night last night en route to a family event, called MIL this morning and they decided to come back early and stay at my house tonight. Didn't ask us, just decided. How LOVELY, for me, to be able to now spend all day cleaning and prepping a Mother's Day brunch to cook for her tomorrow because I can't get brunch reservations (I tried). Seriously, the ONE THING I asked DH for for myself for Mother's Day was to not cook for the day. I don't care if DS poured me a bowl of cheerios for breakfast, I just didn't want to make it or clean it up. I also *was* going to have 7 whole hours all to myself today to work on a million nursery projects. (DH took DS to the family event today and I rarely get time alone like this.) I think I'm going to cry. Third Mother's Day in a row, ruined. I think next year I'm booking myself a hotel room. Alone. If DH and the DSs don't end up having to cater to MIL yet again, they can maybe come visit me with a bowl of cheerios.
DH is about to cry trying to put the high chair together. He just yelled, "I have a Master's degree and worked in construction for 10 years! It shouldn't be so hard to put a damn baby chair together!" Then a string of expletives followed by "Having a baby CANNOT be as hard as putting all its stuff together!" Bahaha....is it mean that I'm just sitting here laughing instead of telling him that the 5 straps connect to each other and not the interior of the seat?

Oh I am so sorry your day was ruined ! That is not fair!! I would say fuck it and order pizza!! So not cool to expect you to cook for them when it's your day too and your pregnant and uncomfortable!!

Hahaha!! This cracked me up!! I would do the same thing!! Just sit and laugh for a minute. You can tell him eventually..
ladysif I'm sorry!! Can you look at DH and say "great - you can cook and clean" (it's his mom and your day too).
carolyngrace I'm with you! Haven't been able to get comfy all night. Hips hurt, pelvic stabbing pains and big belly with a baby who likes to do spastic jazz hands in said pelvic area every time I move.
The goal for today was organize and start compiling a list of what else we need. We'll see.
We are supposed to get 5-6 inches of rain this weekend. Last time this happened (2013) entire mountain communities were flooded out or completely cut off from supplies because major highways washed away. Even in the metro area people had major flooding in their basements. It was horrible and everyone is very on edge around here.
aaaand our photographer is at the wrong park so we're going to meet her. Bonus is that we will get some beautiful shots of downtown pgh in our maternity shoot! H is suuuuper annoyed though and it's already 80 degrees and humid as hell.
Hope the rest of the shoot goes more smoothly! Can't wait to see pictures! My H would also be pissed as hell if that happened on an 80 degree day.

I had several during 2nd tri until i finally got a prescription for a few days of oral meds and started taking probiotics. Ive had none since then
