Morning ladies. I'm hoping for a slow day at work. Every time we get busy the BH start but they stop as soon as I slow down. Plus I'm too tired to deal with anyone's crap today ugh. Most of my coworkers have learned not to mess with the pregnant lady, but I still have a few that need a good throat punch everyday. I need coffee.
Good morning ladies! I'm starting to get this gut feeling that I'm not going to make it to my due date. I've noticed some less than pleasant changes that I won't go into within the past 24 hours. On top of that, my now new stretch marks are welted up and miserably itchy. I am sitting here getting ready for work, wishing I could just start my maternity leave now.
What is your due date again?
Last night I had a dream Michael Jordan died and I was DEVASTATED. When I woke up I immediately checked my phone/google'd MJ to make sure it hadn't really happened. If LO is 2 days late, he'll share MJ's birthday, so I think that's where the random thoughts/dreams of #23 came from.
My official due date is 2/11, but they're inducing me on the 4th so I've kind of been treating that like its my new due date. My mom was 3 weeks early with her first, also a boy, and I'll be 37wk next Wednesday. I just hope he at least hangs on until then, I'm just paranoid about having some dramatic movie scene water breaking at work
DH is nesting... moreso than I... yesterday he cleaned our entire room. This included putting away all the laundry, taking all the dirty laundry downstairs, cleaning the top of his dresser & behind it, cleaning out the base of one closet, moving the litter box into the closet, cleaning our vintage record player off, cleaning out the storage space underneath our window seat, dusting everything & vacuuming. He wanted to do more and was upset he had to leave to meet me for our hospital tour because he was "in beast mode"... Oh, and then when we got home at 10 pm he pledged the nursery rocker because he "wanted to clean the dust off before (he) put it on the new carpet in the nursery"...
Once we had the rocker in the room we then realized how tiny it is... and then we had a heated discussion about whether or not to center the crib on the wall or not and how much space it takes up if we do... I won, it's centered

I know I mentioned a few days ago on TB that I was going car shopping! Just throwing it out there that I am now the proud owner of a beautiful new Chevy Cruze! It is awesome!
Good morning! Today is DS's birthday. He is 4 and it's bittersweet. He told me this morning he didn't want a birthday and he didn't want to be 4. I told him about his party on Saturday and said "yay, thank you mama!!"
On another note, my belly freakin itches so bad. Not a stretching kind of itch, but "my skin is on fire" and has small bumps itch. If I could, I would get sandpaper to scratch it with. If it's not better by tomorrow, I am calling my dr. I need relief. I even tried an oatmeal bath yesterday.

@rarity please don't use sandpaper... that put a very gruesome image in my head. Try aveeno eczema cream.. it might give you some relief assuming it's just a skin irritation and not something else.

Oh of course not. I just wish I could get relief. I will get some aveeno eczema cream today. I am willing to try anything. Thanks
Ugh. I've had period like cramping (mostly my thighs and lower back) off and on all night. I only slept for 3 hours straight and then was up at 5am. I then got out of bed with MH at 6:40am (why did I do this??). He seems to need me for everything in the mornings if I'm up. Then I had to run commentary on his fashion show. He's such a princess!!
God, I hope I don't go into labour since I did a TCA peel on my face three days ago and look like a lizard... I'll be pissed...PISSED!!!

Just going to say, if you are going to use sandpaper I would suggest a fine grain! Don't need to be ripping your skin up!
Help: there is at least one f15er trapped on the other site who wants to come over but her work apparently blocks like site. I thought I saw a workaround but I can't find it now. Are any of you tech savvy people able to offer me any advice to pass on to her? I hate the thought of people being left behind!
Child of divorce just trying to keep the family together. Lol

Not sorry in the least to admit that I am still laying in bed at 10:45 this morning. Had an awful night of pregsomnia and heartburn last night, plus all the usual bathroom trips. I've also been feeling very crampy in my lower back lately stephanie. Not sure if they're contractions or not. They haven't really been time able so I have no idea. As a FTM I'm kinda terrified that I'll be in labor and not realize it especially since I'll be 37wks tomorrow and he could really be here at any time.
Also I have a to do list a mile long today. Ugh.... I don't want to get up.

Same. I haven't been able to time them and they last longer than a contraction however LO does a little dance after they ease so they might be. This is my third pregnancy and I don't remember if this is how it started. I was just lying on the couch and something happened that didn't happen with my previous pregnancies... my (not gonna say it OR include a picture!!) came out. Nasty!!

I took a long hot bath in lavender epson salt last night and I slept through the night with only 3 bathroom breaks. It was amazeballs.
I need to go food shopping and clean my house. The carpets and floors are gross. Everything in the nursery is set... I just need to work on the guest room for my mom. The only baby things I have left to wash are the car seat stuff.
Now I have to pull myself back out of bed. I let myself relax for an hour watching Wendy Williams. Oh how I will miss these days.
Ready for the weekend! Its a teacher planning day tomorrow, my shower is Saturday, and then no school Monday for MLK. Yaay! Only bad thing is I have to work on maternity sub plans most of this time.

So last night, we received the box of breast pads my mom bought me in the mail. I pulled a few out and looked at them and my husbandman came over to check them out. After staring at them for a few seconds, he asked me "So, are these meant to keep your nipples warm so the baby won’t be drinking from a cold tit?” I swear, I about died. I have never seen him look so confused before.
I had my 34 week appointment today and start my once a week appointments next week. It makes me feel like there is finally a light at the end of the tunnel!

We are finally starting to get organized for baby. We got the guest/baby room + master bedroom and hallway connecting them painted the last 2 days. It looks good, but now our house is a complete mess (all the furniture and crap in the rooms are stacked in the middle of the rooms or all over the dining room (including completely covering the table) and the office. (one small casualty - our dogs tail is now green he is now black, brown, white, and green.) We have to put everything back together tonight because we are having guests for the weekend coming tomorrow.
On top of that. last week H's car wouldn't start - so I convinced him to get a new battery and we could replace it cheaper ourselves than taking it to a place and fixing it. Oops - we failed. After installing the new battery it still won't start. So, either the problem wasn't the battery in the first place (and we spent $ on a new battery for no reason) or it was the battery but in our newb fixing, we caused another problem. Either way, we wasted a week, H's car still won't start, and now we will have to take it to a place to fix it and likely be out more money. Did I mention we have guests coming tomorrow?? SIL came into town last night, but luckily she is staying in a hotel until Sunday - when we will have 3 guests. Good thing we got a new air mattress last year.
