I've been awake since 3:45. I've already placed an order for more nursing tanks after reading our hospital bag talk and just finished breakfast.
It's ridiculous but I'm actually going to start grading papers now. I'm trying to get everything graded as it comes in so I'm as ready as possible if baby comes soon.

I’ve been awake since 4. Dd woke up crying which she never does so I went in to console her and then to pee. Then baby girl was going nuts after this from all the excitement so i couldn’t fall back asleep.
I’ve been really struggling with nausea and stomach cramps the past couple days and it’s miserable. I don’t know if I caught a bug of some sort or if it’s pregnancy related. But either way, not fun. I had to take some of my zofran from 1st tri yesterday just to be able to sleep bc my nausea was so bad!

Sorry about the ladies lacking sleep. It’s definitely hit or miss these days.
I hate Tuesdays. Not only is the work week just beginning, but my schedule is packed and DH always works Tuesday nights. At least we are watching a movie in one of my classes, so I can sit down for a decent chunk of time.

I definitely wish we had that convo earlier for your sake only because nursing tanks were $10 on BF/CM. Hence why I got so many. I lived in them on leave!

I think my heartburn is getting worse by the day if that's possible. It's now waking me up at night. I've been taking tums which seems to help but even drinking water is making it worse. This baby better have a full head of hair.

This baby better have a full head of hair. Zantac or Prilosec are lifesavers for me!! And there is no shame in taking them haha. Heartburn is THE WORST.

Morning! DS has hockey practice later this afternoon, and we are sticking around for the hockey game following (from the age group above him) so H can volunteer in the kitchen and I’ll just stick around with the kids and let them play and we can eat there then and I don’t have worry about supper. Hope everyone finds some relief soon! My heartburn is every day now too, I’m up to pee and drink water half the night, and I’m feeling 89 years old lately as whatever position the baby put itself in on the weekend finally started putting more pressure on my lower body like my lower back, knees, ankles. Oh babies!

I'm trying to find some motivation and can't. I should have put a coat of poly on our closet shelves last night (didn't) and should be doing it now (I'm not). Not to mention the other typical household things that need to be done, bills, laundry, cleaning, etc... No motivation at all today.

But I am secretly afraid there will be a study in like 20 years about the dangers of it. I seriously can't survive without them and Tums though.

Happy Tuesday all! It is cold and snowy and I am wishing I was cuddled up in bed instead of at my desk.
I feel like my bump has grown so much the past few days- every time I walk by a mirror I feel shocked to see it there! I'm scared to see what it's going to look like 10 weeks from now.

I did not try the tank trick but I just used maternity tanks and stretched them out. #doingthemost

Hi! I have been so busy all morning! I did a ton of cleaning and went to the grocery store. G is now home from school. I think when she naps, I may too. I didn’t sleep well. I have not decided if I am going to attempt breastfeeding or not. I didn’t with G because I had basically no supply and a series of issues that made it basically impossible. I also really liked that MH could do some of the nighttime feedings. I have a pump so I can pump if I choose that route but I haaaaaaaate pumping. Formula is just so expensive. Considering I am delivering in 15 days, I should probably make a choice.

I'm going to try to breastfeed and pump, but I'm not going to stress myself out over it. I've had a breast reduction so I may not be able to provide 100% of her needs for as long as I would want to so I'm just going to do my best.
And my breast pump should be here on Thursday!

Up until now my regular underwear and leggings (that I only wear around the house) were working great. The last week or so everything keep rolling down, especially if I'm up and moving. I do not want to go buy maternity leggings for such a short amount of time...

I've got all kinds of randoms today. -I stopped by the lactation clinic yesterday (it's in the hospital I work at so it's literally down a couple hallways). They were slow so I got to chat with three LCs for a bit. They've heard good things about the Spectra and helped me decide to buy one. -I ran into my OB at the coffee corner today. She was so nice (like always) but it made my day when she complimented me. -I'm going to email my favorite L&D nurse today about my RCS date. She said she'd make sure she was working that day and she would make sure I got the best room in the post partum wing. -DH and I both have a cold and I'm not sleeping well. But I usually only get sick once a year so my fingers are crossed this will be it for a while. -My goal for tonight is finishing a baby blanket. It's with minky dot fabric so I'm a little nervous it's going to be difficult to work with.

Oh I was going to ask who was going Spectra vs Medela. I have all Medela stuff, I feel like it would be a waste to get all Spectra stuff - unless I sold it as a lot I guess on BST but that's a risk too

Add me to the horrible heartburn club.
I am on Zantac and it is barely working. I have an OB appointment today and will bring it up

That’s what I plan on doing! I’m excited to try to spectra. pippiann has been raving about it!

Well I got back from a big grocery trip not too long ago. I trucked me and Dd out to wegmans which is a half hour away so I could get my faaaaaavorite wine for post-baby. It’s around $40/bottle at most liquor stores but wegmans sells it for $29.99.
I bought a ton of ingredients to do a bunch of freezer meals. I’m going to get cracking on starting them tomorrow. I already have 2 shepherds pies, chicken Marsala, 2 chicken pot pies, and tortellini soup. I’m going to be adding 2 meatloafs, 2 broccoli cheddar chicken pasta bake casseroles, and 2 Tex mex chicken casseroles. I’m psyched to have so much stocked up!!
