Had a great appointment this morning! Everything looks good, I'm between 1-1.5cm dilated and baby's head is waaaay low. Might strip my membranes at my next appointment (whaaaa! Crazy).
Stopped by DH's office with lunch after my appointment and one of his coworkers goes "well you're not too huge yet!" ... *facepalm* I understand she meant well but what a backwards ass way of saying whatever she meant to say.
Also I forget who said it but I agree - I love PB way more than TB. I don't use an app, just in Safari and it's so much easier to use in my opinion. I also like that I can actually see my notifications where before I couldn't if I was mobile!

I'm so glad it's Friday! I wish I was off on Monday, but that's ok. Had my 37 week appt on Wednesday. I measured 39cm, so if I measure 40 or 41 at the next, they'll do a u/s to check on the size of this LO. I'm nervous. I didn't ask what would happen if she was big, but DH said they mentioned a possible c-section. I think what he heard was me saying I would ask about a c-section if she was big, I surely wouldn't have missed it if the doc had said that. BUT the doc did say she didn't feel abnormally large, so that's good. We just decided tomorrow we'll have a date night! Dinner and a movie, I'm so excited!! I like this site better, but I'm having issues get logged in on the app. But, that's no big deal, Safari works well. Last, work shower is this coming Wed...I'm so excited!! I must stop registry stalking.

I'm late to the party, but hi ladies. This sounds so pathetic but I'm excited to be a part of this group. I hope to be able to participate more. I am friends with a group from TK and we're pretty close. I want that here too. I'm excited y'all.

Good news--the dog sitter lady came over to meet the pups and she was wonderful. My labradoodle is a big boy and can be a handful, and my great pyrenees mix is stand-offish to strangers. They both melted for her! I feel much better about leaving them. She even left us a brochure for her therapy dog group and said she'd love to have our doodle certified and be a part of her group. I was oddly proud. It was like someone told me my child was gifted or something.
I'm about to go boil some frozen spinach cheese ravioli for myself...YUM! I can't get enough pasta right now.
Everyone have fun on your dates tonight! I'll be eating ravioli and watching Gold Rush
Completely rearranged H and I's bedroom yesterday. By myself. It looks fantastic and there's space for the bassinet, but man, did my back and hips HURT trying last night! I also made a couple of freezer meals earlier to save for when Korbin arrives
Ugh...why can't I get my signature to work? Here we go again...
Proboards uses BB Code, not HTML (which is what you currently have). On Lilypie it will be the one that uses [] instead of <> tags. I don't know what they call it. Good luck!

Damn modified bed rest. I sooooo badly want to organize the nursery. Have to delegate these tasks to DH now who did a decent job at the grocery store though he forgot sugar and hand soap (both of which we are completely out of). Now he's doing laundry for me...I'm scared. I wonder how long he will tolerate this...

As the move gets closer (Monday), I am getting super excited/anxious to finally "nest" and get her piles o'baby crap organized and adorabled (just made that a word)!

I'm more excited than I anyone should ever be over the prospect of making meatloaf for dinner tonight.
Thaaanks, now I'm going to have to put meatloaf on my meal plan for next week--with some mac cheese, perfect cold weather comfort food! I'm blaming yesterday's lunch thread for the fact that I need to make some sort of Mexican-inspired dinner tonight. I'm lazy, so it's going to be crockpot salsa chicken, black beans, and guac. Pretty much food is all I think about anymore.
To make it even more awesome, I added a "cheese ribbon" to it tonight. I loaded half of it in my loaf pan, put a layer of cheddar in, then put the rest of the meat on with more cheese on top. We are having mashed potatoes with it, though I wish I had seen your post earlier, DS would have much preferred Mac n cheese. It didn't even occur to me. Mom fail.
Now that I have a moment to catch my breath I thought I'd make an inventory of all the things I still need to buy, and omg... I'm gonna be busy! The thing is, in Holland you either give birth at home, or in hospital and then get sent home 2 hours later. We get nurses that take care of us at home for 8 days, doing the cleaning, cooking, taking care of mom and baby, managing visitors etc. That's all really great, but they do this pre-visit to your home when you're 36 weeks. I was really chilled about it, until my friends told me that they basically go through your house and tell you all the ways you're failing as a mom. (!!!). Anything from sleep safety to the number of diapers you have on stock to 'your shower drain is dirty'. Now I'm starting to get a bit scared! I'm sure my child will survive if I haven't bought one of those infant hair brushes yet, right??? Now I have this huge list of things in front of me full of the weirdest things to get before their visit on Wednesday. Thank god for internet shopping
Wow that is pretty much the first time anyone has ever talked about health care in another developed country and I haven't been jealous. That's really intense/crazy!

Had my 37 week appointment today. I've been having contractions a lot lately, not painful just uncomfortable but enough so that they wake me up at night. Had 3 contractions during the 20 min NST then we had our growth scan. They tell me his head has dropped even more and is measuring 40 weeks. My EDD they just figure by my last period which I was unsure of. So the doctor came in to check things out because my fluid level was higher than usual. Pretty much she said it could happen any day now. Looks like Keaton may decide to make his arrival before the RSC. Just a waiting game now!

So for those who did Target registries, when did your completion coupon arrive in the mail? The website says 6 weeks before your "event date" but mine hasn't come yet.
DBJackson25 the app is weird, because it is a sort of third party thing. So you can't log in with your proboards account info, you need to set up a username and password for the app itself, then search for goodbyecb board. THEN you will be able to log in to the board. I can't remember exactly where that happens, maybe someone else can chime in.

Thank you I'll try that. My phone was about to be thrown.
Guys, DH and I have always shared household duties, and he has been so wonderful and taken on an increasing amount of my duties over the course of this pregnancy without complaint or even having to be asked for most of them. I am blessed to have the relationship we have. And I need to vent SO badly!!!
He doesn't do half the chores right or all the way. Like cleaning the bathroom is just running the toilet brush around the bowl with no cleaner or anything and then wiping the toothpaste residue out of the sink. No cleaning the rest of the toilet, or the shower, or the floor. Or he constantly puts things away in the wrong place (he knows where they go, it's pretty simple, he just forgets/doesn't think). Everything needs a good deep clean now that I've been unable to keep up.
Other things are just that he doesn't do it the way I would and it's all I can do not "correct" him.
Cuz I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth, man. I don't want to make this a burden on him by nagging and complaining when he's so giving. I am so thankful he's picked up some of the slack. It's become abundantly clear who does the detail work in our home though, and it's killing me not to be able to really do that work.
I don't even have very high cleanliness standards, but I like to do a job thoroughly when I do it.
Okay rant over. I just needed to let that out here rather than at him.
As the move gets closer (Monday), I am getting super excited/anxious to finally "nest" and get her piles o'baby crap organized and adorabled (just made that a word)!
So excited for you! Hope the move goes well.
Thanks! I foresee a lot of pointing and being slightly bossy in my near future. Also, I really want to have a frozen margarita in my hand while this happens...oh well!
I'm really excited for the 3 day weekend. The doula is coming over tomorrow to make our "plan of attack" as I like to call it, for labor. Then DH and I are going to watch American Sniper, which is exciting because DH asked to go see it and he usually hates going to the movies. We haven't been together in 5 yrs and I love going to the movies! On Monday I have a prenatal massage scheduled and then we are getting the car seat checked by a technician. A very fun and productive 3 day weekend coming up.

@ellteejay I can totally relate! It has taken me a long time to finally learn to just let it go and be thankful for the help my DH offers instead of freaking out that it wasn't done "the right" (MY) way! I'm one of those borderline OCD people, and little things really get to me. One of my old managers quoted it perfectly. "I may not have vaccumed in 2 weeks, but don't touch my silverware drawer!" EVERYTIME DH puts the dishes away, my silverware is not in the right places. If it's something that really bothers me, when he's not looking I'll fix or redo it. Other than that, I have just learned to bite my tongue and thank him for "helping" because I have made the mistake of thinking I was helping him by showing him the right way to do things. Which in most mens minds, made him think "if she thinks I'm not doing it right, I won't do it at all!" So I definitely get it!

"I may not have vaccumed in 2 weeks, but don't touch my silverware drawer!" -- exactly!

lotsofdotts INTENSE!! I did bury my head in DH arm 2x's. I have NEVER been in a movie where when the credits started NO ONE left and it was utterly silent when people did leave. Even DH teared up at the end.
