Let it all out here ladies!

Current Situation - Organizing Baby Clothes!

She has so. many. clothes. I seriously have NO WHERE to put them all. Her closet is packed, her dresser is almost full and I still have about 350 more pieces of clothes to find places for (no joke). I'm about to lose it....

Andplusalso....this crib won't be empty for too much longer! 24 hours and counting! :-)

[mrsmonogrammed]

Feeling like I got punched in the pubic bone...woke up almost in tears last night when I tried to roll over! Hopefully this means my giant (partially controlled) GD baby will be able to fit through when we start the induction process Sunday night? I'll be keeping my fingers crossed!

[sully326]

Thank you, @jemomma! Her room is my favorite in the house! Ha! We did the Demask theme with lilac accents. I love it :-)

I know how that goes! FX that your LO will have no problem fitting! lol!

I'm getting so bored waiting for baby to get here!

Also, maybe TMI but I officially wore H out. My sex drive has been way up this pregnancy, I've felt motivated to do it as much as possible before we have a crying baby, and doctor recommended sex to help get labor going, sooo we've been getting down every day. Yesterday H said he needed a break for the night lol.

Anyways, I feel good today. Got up early and made omelette muffins for H and me for breakfast. Unloaded the dishwasher....and now I'm going to wash more dishes lol. It's a never ending cycle of cooking and cleaning over here. Annnd I'm watching more Parenthood on Netflix.

Feet are still swollen and there's still lots of pressure down below where I feel like my vagina and the baby might fall off/out at any moment. I guess that doesn't reslly happen though ...

[Bluedaisy]

+1 on the Parenthood note...I've seen every episode.

Tomorrow is my last day of work before my maternity leave but I ended up taking today off because I felt terrible yesterday and then today I have a doctors apt. this afternoon.

Kids suck the last week of school. The middle school teachers are on a field trip today at the water park except for me...since I'm pregnant I had to stay behind with the kids who got in trouble too often to be allowed to go lol. So it's me and 8 of the school's finest 12 yr olds stuck in a room together ALL.FREAKING.DAY. And it's 90 degrees out, so it's too hot to be outside. Longest day ever! Two and a half hours to go!!!!

[periwinkledaydreams]

Yes lady at the grocery store, I AM 9 months pregnant and at the grocery store. I think she was trying to compliment me on my "still getting out of the house-ness" but seriously, where am I supposed to be? Curled up in my bed just waiting for labor to begin? It is so odd to me that people feel such like they don't know what to say to really pregnant women so they end up saying random awkward things. She asked me how far along I am and I said I'm due in less than 2 weeks and she said "and you're HERE?!?! oh no no let me get that!!!" I know she was just trying to be nice and helpful and bag my groceries for me because SO was being oblivious and talking on his phone while I bagged the groceries and she was looking at him like why is this douchebag on his phone letting his 9 month pregnant wife bag the groceries lol, which really I was quite thankful for and quite glaringly aggravated at him also because now I am additionally EMBARRASSED because the woman is bagging our groceries for us while he talks on the phone like a douche and I stand there like a helpless twat. I wanted to punch him and hug her and run away!!! Sorry for the rant!!! WOW!!!

It seems so early to be done school! Maybe it's an American thing? Here school will go until June 26 this year. Then kids go back sept 8 or 9. You guys must go back to school earlier then?

Tomorrow is our last day and we come back Aug 20.

[belle0720]

Bluedaisy, @pcrunk, @jemomma, I'm loving Parenthood and it gets tons of tears out of me! Kristina just had her baby and Adam & Crosby just opened their recording studio. Kristina's 10 second labor made me be all, "Yeah right!" though and totally wish it was me lol.

MH and I both teach in Texas (but in different districts), and we ended the last week in May and the first week in June. The kids go back on August 24th. That's pretty standard for where we live, but up north the kids tend to be in school through most of June because of snow days and whatnot. I'm definitely feeling grateful for the early end to the school year right now!

The cancer storyline really got to me because I have a friend who has been battling cancer for five years.  She will never beat it, but keeps fighting and it's so hard.  I was so invested and emotional about the plotline that I actually had to look up spoilers before I could watch the episodes and I still bawled like crazy.

Here the kids go until June 26th and go back the 1st of September.  The last two weeks there is a ton of fun events and field trips though.

Bluedaisy I'm only in season 3, no one has cancer yet that I can think of!

This happened to me at Walmart too the week before I went in.  I was buying old lady underpants and a cheap night gown and the lady stocking the women's dept was asking (in spanish) when I was due.  It was already awkward because I had no clue wha she was talking about until she started gesturing and saying bebe.  I said oh next week and she said "why you here!!!" ummm because?  I need stuffs?

[turtletyme]

sully326 I love the damask! It's so pretty compared to how cheap-looking baby decor can come across.

Struggling so hard to finish work! Two days and three hours to go. Since this (probably giant, non-GD) baby refuses to drop, I still can't breathe and have awful pains in my diaphragm when I sit up for too long, so I have been working from bed the past 2 days. I am so glad now that I made DH spring for the adjustable electric base when we bought our bed.

My MIL continues to be a nosy PITA. She asked her (quack shaman) doctor if I should be taking probiotics before a c-section and went on and on about it via text today. She then told me I should be taking frequent breaks from work to walk up and down the stairs to drop the baby. Actually, I really need to finish this work and all climbing stairs does is give me painful and unproductive contractions. Thanks for your unsolicited advice though.

I have the same issue I ended up just putting anything over 3 months in a suit case in our garage because it's just way to many clothes to deal with. I organized only the 0-3 months and I found that less overwhelming and less cluttered

[sully326]

I know I'm being an AW today but I'm like the freakin energizer bunny. I got more sleep last night than I have in months & now I have to keep my mind occupied!!

So, our bags are now packed & sitting on her changing table! {Mines the Pink one and just needs the last minute stuff added after I use them tomorrow (Toothbrush, Deodorant, Shampoo, etc)}

Now I gotta find something else to get into....

[sully326]

@poppyc8 ...In that pic is nothing but Newborn & 0-3...& that's not all of it. I have all the rest put up. Its ridiculous right now.

[bendherova]

several things:

heading to a car seat install/check point held by safekids in about 45min. Holy cow there will be 2 car seats in my little subaru!!!!

asked DS1's preschool teacher on the off chance I go into labor while he's at camp wtf I do if I can't pick him up. and felt a giant panic moment!


I can not stop eating twizzlers.

Yeah we had "fun" stuff all week but it was in the 90's all week so that took most of the fun out of it for the poor large pregnant lady lol

[erbear]

sully326 I have the same boppy and we have the same style diaper bag! I thought I had a ton of clothes for my girl but I've got everything in a place. I didn't wash anything past 3 months though!

We're going to dinner with our friends tonight and I'm sure I'll get more "why are you still out!?" comments. It's super hot so h and I stayed home all day. We have been doing little trips during the day just to get out and move.

I should move into the bathroom at this point. I'm also just wiped out today.

[wormgerm]

Parenthood was my jam. We went through withdrawls those first few weeks after it ended. I'm with you on the Kristina front @pcrunk. She's amazing at some stuff but other areas made my blood boil. Double standards queen for sure.

Besides the mention of cancer as a spoiler I don't think pp gave anything away. I think her comment was regarding a real friend of hers unless I misread it. Off the go reread that comment!

[ladysif]

sully326 glad you had a great night of sleep and are nesting! My nesting hit too so I'm feeling so much more prepared. GL tomorrow, I'll be thinking of you!

Random rant: I did not get invited to future SIL's bridal shower and I'm upset about it. I haven't heard a single word from her once since we told them the kids and I can't go to the wedding. It was obvious I'd never be able to come to the shower; it is next weekend. But it is basic etiquette to invite the immediate family unless they're having their own shower, which we are not due to the time/distance issues (and the rest of our side HAS been invited to this one). I don't buy the "maybe she didn't want to obligate you to a gift since she knew you couldn't come" excuse - she's my future SIL, of course I'm getting a gift regardless of my attendance. I was also the first person to buy anything off their registry TWO MONTHS ago because I was planning way ahead to send a really generous and thoughtful shower gift since I knew I wouldn't be able to come when I otherwise would have (which she HAS to know because no bride has the willpower to not look and see who bought what off their registry). I am so over this wedding and being the black sheep because we're having a baby that interferes with it.

Anyone know if Hallmark sells a "Sorry for getting pregnant five months before you were even engaged" sympathy card?

[Bluedaisy]

Sorry ladies I totally thought I was vague enough mentioning cancer and didn't mean to be a spoiler!

[erbear]

Oh, and here we ended school June 4. If I am in the same district, I'll go back August 20 for two professional days and school starts the 24th.

I might start watching the Gilmore Girls. Never watched it when it was on but I need a new show to binge.

[megd893]

I'm done. When people told me "you'll get there", I didn't believe them because I truly enjoyed pregnancy (even the shitty parts like 'morning sickness' until 25 weeks). I'm there. He's good now, he can come now. I'm ready.
I went and had a prenatal (eviction) massage yesterday and she did some accupressure points for me to make me go into labour. She said that the two times she's done that, both women went into labour within 48 hours. I have hemorrhoids, I can't eat anything without feeling like I'm going to throw up, my hips are killing me and my cramps suck apetit. 24h3min and counting...

I think wifey is taking me out for dinner tonight to 1) get out of the house and 2) get one more dinner out, in, before the boy joins us. Maybe it will make me less grumpy... :S

MH and I are currently watching Gilmore Girls. I've seen them all, but he hasn't. It kind of cracks me up that he's so into it.
