My lunch salad is almost all toppings today. Even though my lettuce still had multiple days to go before the best buy date on the container it was not in good shape when I tried to make my lunch. The greens seems to do better than the red leaf stuff so maybe I need to buy all spinach next time.

36 weeks today. I made an "oh shit my water broke at work" emergency kit this morning and brought it in to leave at my desk. I know water breaking is generally not the first sign of labor, but it makes me feel better to be prepared in case it happened to happen to me. A friend of mine had her water break while she was standing in her boss's office! I should probably make a similar kit when I get close, since I work 45 min from home and plan to work until my due date... Last time, my water didn't break until I was in transition (and I was in the tub at the time and didn't even know it had happened)

All I can think about is how the whole office is carpet everywhere except the kitchens (break rooms) and bathrooms. Assuming it was more than a slow trickle that could be hidden, I would be mortified if my water broke at work. Hence the emergency kit to do everything in my power to hide it if it happens. Although the new outfit would make it a bit obvious something was up...

Last time my office had a whole plan on who was going to drive me and make calls for me if I went into labor at the office, I think they were disappointed I didn't have her till 8 days after I stopped working! Plus almost my whole office is full of middle-aged busybodies, so they'll know something is up immediately. I come in late and immediately someone is like, "did you have an appointment? How did it go? How are you feeling?"

Nymeria Mmmm toppings 😋 I have found that the spinach only packs of greens do tend to last longer.

Alright, with the news of the GBS test I think my Birth Preferences document is complete! Check ✔️
We have quite the day of deliveries today after my Amazon spree the other night!
I had my first chiro appt this morning. I felt a little out of place for some reason - maybe because my pain hasn't been too bad the past few days. But I know it will be beneficial longer term, so. I was feeling fine until I laid down for a little nap. Now I am feeling a little sore in the areas that were adjusted. But I expected that since a couple of you here were talking about it before 😊

Middle of the night charley horses suck! That is all. I had them quite a bit with DD and it sucked. I tried drinking coconut water everyday and eating banana. I've had one this pregnancy so far and it was so awful. Two different muscles tensed up and when one of them finally let loose, the other was still cramped. It felt like eternity. No joke, it hurt to walk and was sore for 4 days.

We are getting family pictures taken today. I have my beginning of the school year cold and I feel like curling up and sleeping all day. After the pictures my H is leaving for a week to go hunting. I can do this.
And the plus side after I filed a complaint on Etsy the seller messaged me saying she accidentally sent my order to someone else. She has shipped it to me this morning.
I think I found my long term sub for when I’m out. She’s awesome but then i started to panic because I need to figure out my school life so I can start to get ahead.

It's my 30th birthday today and so many people have asked if I'm having a big party or doing something else big. Uh no, I'm 37 weeks pregnant, can't drink, and can't travel so we're just hanging out. DH is taking me to a play tonight though and DD is staying with her grandpa so that will be a nice treat.

Happy birthday brenna!! I was pregnant with DS2 on my 30th. We had planned a trip to this awesome resort with family, but I couldn't do half the things we landed. But did get to announce to my family.

We're having the weirdest day here today. I woke up this morning and went to go pee and MH comes rushing into the bathroom looking all groggy and telling me it's 10:45..... I'm sorry, what? It was dark and dreary and rainy and DS hadn't made a peep so we all had just slept in.... My yoga class starts at 10:45! 😯 I was feeling so scatterbrained and confused, but I literally finished peeing, brushed my teeth, threw on clothes, grabbed my crap and a Kind bar and rushed out the door! But now, everything is thrown off. DS and I are laying in my bed having some "resting" time instead of bothering with a legit nap because it's almost dang 4:00! And despite the whole "sleeping in" thing, I am sooo tired 😴

We let our Sams membership lapse and I’m wondering if we should go with Costco instead. We have both within a 20 minute distance now so that isn’t a big deal (I know both have delivery options too). Do you guys have any preferences on the two? What are the realistic benefits of the different levels of membership?

teambrink I'm no help really cause we've never had a membership to either. But I feel like around me everyone is all about Costco! Don't they offer a "free trial" shopping trip where you can go and check it out?

We caught the "start of school season" cold over here. I'm kinda miserable and every time I blow my nose or cough, I pee a little.
Went to a festival to get out of the house today. DD spent like 30 mins playing in the dirt digging with some older boys. No problems. She then found some girls probably a year or two older to ply with and within 5 mins, tears. One of the psycho kids tried to strangle my daughter with a ribbon. Girls, man! Between the dirt and blue Italian ice, she was so gross.

teambrink Costco is great for hulk meats, organic vegetables, party foods, and wine. For other stuff (canned frozen, etc) I would go do a tour. I know there is a way to do it, because I personally was disappointed in what was offered. So for me it wasn't worth it. But if they have a lot of your favorites, it great.

Hope you had a great birthday brenna Anyone else getting lightheaded lately? It happens to me when I’m standing for a while, like standing at the kitchen counter making breakfast. It’s not so bad that I think I’ll pass out, but still noticeable. Google tells me it’s either dehydration, low iron (which I know I have) or blood pressure issues. Oh well, the joys of late pregnancy.

chriskoo I sometimes get light headed if I stand up too quickly. But I have that happen non-pregnant too. I would get it other random times when I was grossly sick in 1st tri, but I don't think I've noticed anything lately.
