I have a presentation today, my boss is sick and this morning I woke up with a sore throat and feeling puffy. I hope it's just because it's been a long week and not that he gave me whatever he had...
This weekend we're helping my sister's family move close to us. Moving always sucks but tomorrow it's suppose to rain so that should add to the excitement. I'm planning on relaxing on Sunday though. I need it!
I spilled coffee all over myself this morning because the lid on my travel mug was wonky. TWICE. Ha, so most of it came out with the tide-to-go pen, except for the spot on my boob. So I look like I leaked. Meh, whatevs, it's Friday and I don't even care.
I have my one hour test in an hour. I just finished my three mile walk and am having a quick snack so I don't get nauseous. Hoping to get my date on the books for sure and get all the other appointments scheduled!
This week has been crazy at work and I've been trying to get the house in order for my in laws visiting. I feel like I've been MIA from the board forever! I did manage to finish the baby blanket I've been knitting. It took months, but it makes me feel accomplished The funny thing is, I started it back when I thought the nursery would be gray and navy. Now the nursery will be white, orange, and bright blue. I guess we can't help the colors we are drawn to!
I'm exhausted again. DS was sick a couple of weeks ago and then DH earlier this week and I woke up with a sore throat and my back was killing me last night, so I hope that doesn't mean I'm getting their bug. I've been really busy at work the past few weeks too and am ready to slow down a little, but can't because I'm trying to finish a ton of stuff before maternity leave. The good news is that I feel ready for the baby to come now that we have a name and nursery! I feel like it's going to be a long 9.5 weeks though until he gets here.

I am super ready for the weekend, this week has been so annoying!
I am going to try to get some housework done, the reality of having this baby in 5-6 weeks is making me feel like I have so much to do! I also have been meaning to go get a new phone, so I think I'll do that as well. I keep putting it off!
I had my 32 week ultra sound yesterday. Everything looks good. Though I've had a terrible headache since last night, which may have something to do with this horrible head cold I have going on.
I seem to have been in somewhat of a bad mood this week. I cannot believe I only have 8 weeks left, and I get so mad looking around the house seeing all the crap there is to do. It seems like I am always picking up random kid stuff from every room. I get even more irate when most of it is stuff the kids don't play with that MIL has dumped on us. She absolutely cannot resist giving crap every time she comes. I am going to trash a bunch of it at nap time today. Normally i just pack it away and store it in the basement, but I already have so many totes of toys no one cares about. I look forward to how liberating it will feel. I doubt either kid or DH will notice.

Good luck twobananas! My family photos aren't for another 4 weeks. I'm wishing I'd have scheduled them sooner... My whole body is gigantic already. Might as well spend hundreds of dollars to capture that image forever.

shoogars, add me to the club suddenly panicking about only having 8 weeks to go. I don't care about what's going on around the house... but currently I have a) no baby equipment, b) no daycare, c) no pediatrician, and d) no finalized maternity leave plans. The equipment I can handle. Daycare and pediatrician are tough because we're probably in a transient housing situation. Maternity leave plans will end up getting finalized last-minute because of particulars with my short term disability, and I'm going to have to live with that. I'm just too much of a planner type A personality to handle this and it's starting to keep me up at night! That's not evening mentioning the panic of "shit, we're going to be parents and I have no idea how we're going to manage the sleep deprivation and lack of time for ourselves and all that". Meh, I guess now is the time for me to work on letting go of my perfectionist tendencies
We are going to see Peppa Pig live this evening. MH and I are more excited than DD. I hope she loves it because she's obsessed with Peppa but I'm trying to temper my expectations since she's only 2.5. I just hope she's not scared. We did the meet and greet package so she gets a pic with Peppa after the show and cookies and lemonade backstage. We're nuts I know but this was her Easter present because we don't have room for stuff in our apartment!

We are blanket twins!!! I'm crocheting mine, but it's going to be the same type of blocking. These are the colors I am using:
bighair12 good luck with the 1 hour test! I never found the 1 hr test to be that bad but the 3 hr is miserable.
vivela I love the blanket. Do you want to finish the one I started?! I figured it was a good activity for when DH was snowmobiling this winter but since winter was a bust I only got half way through it.
sandandsea don't get sick!! Slow down and take it easy!
I'm so glad it's Friday! I got an email that I passed the 3hr test!!! Yay for no GD. I also got good news that my other blood work came back normal and at this time they are not diagnosing me with cholestasis!! I'm excited but now I need to actually talk to the dr and try and figure out what's causing my hands to be so itchy.

My OB was so honest today. I lost it today. I have been able to keep it together but she handed me the list of things to be prepared for. It was long and intense. She has to talk to the OB hospitalist, Gyn/Onc, and MFM about the date I would for my surgery so i can take my board exam. I told her I will do whatever this was just the date that worked best.
I am completely overwhelmed. I don't feel ready to have a baby in 6 weeks. I was supposed to have 12. I am sorry for the pity party. You ladies have been wonderful. I just want a little normalcy.

bighair12 I'm sorry you have all this to go through. I know you have a lot on your plate but I can certainly relate to the change in plans, since I'm looking at 5 weeks when I was thinking 8-9. I know it's not a lot but those three to four more weeks seem huge!
bighair12 I'm sorry that you are dealing with all this overwhelming stuff. When I feel very overwhelmed I like to write a list of all the things that are bothering me and/or that I need to do. That way I am better able to tackle each of them one at a time and I feel like I spend less time thinking about each thing. We are here to support you, so vent away!
I am so glad it's the weekend! Work went a lot better this week than it has been lately, so I'm happy about that. I think I am going to brave taking DS to the zoo tomorrow for a few hours on my own. He's recently very obsessed with zebras and giraffes, so I'm sure he would love to see some in person!
I just tried to register for a maternity tour at the hospital. All the spots are filled except for a date 10 days before my due date. I registered for that one and then got on the waiting list for a spot about a month before my due date. Hopefully something opens up!

Big hugs bighair12. You have every right to feel whatever you feel. This is rough. I hope you have lots of support IRL and never hesitate to seek support from us internet people.
babyzebra, My tour is only 15 days out from my due date. I'm not too worried. I know the NICUs well thanks to my former job, and I think/hope regular L&D or Maternity isn't a biggie by comparison. I'm not too scared of giving birth without having had a tour, but maybe that's naive.
