I have been up since 3:45 so naturally my kid is sleeping in. I have already showered and gotten dressed. I have a billion things to do today ending with a huge Christmas party for MHs union. I hope everyone is getting some sleep!

I was having dreams that I was wicked crampy, which then I woke up and sure enough I was in real life. I was having major painful contractions every 2 minutes for about a half hour. I legit thought I was going into labor but it eased up and luckily I’ve been ok since. I’m so ready to not be pregnant anymore, but I’d really like this baby to cook for a couple more weeks at least since I’m not even 35 weeks yet.

Morning! I slept horrible again last night and H is sick.
DD1 and I have an hour drive today for a Christmas gathering with family. FX she behaves in the car.
Got all my shopping done which is such a relief!

I have been getting a ton of BH contractions but thankfully only a few actual painful ones. I think baby boy will stay put until my scheduled C. Hopefully your new DD will stay put too.

I’ve been getting major BH multiple times a day for a while now. They’re not painful, just uncomfortable. But nothing like this! This was legit pain

Eep amesie fx this baby continues to cook! I've been up since 445. My DD woke up crying about her foot but went back to sleep snuggling with MH. But you know I've been up anyway. She's up and moving now and other than walking around on the outside of her foot she seems to be OK so we're just going to keep an eye rather than rush to urgent care. This little inside lady needs more room to stretch again so she's taking up some of my rib space. Lovely. I've got errands this morning and then our friend Christmas party later so I'm kinda excited to see all my college friends.

I got a few things done around the house this morning. After breakfast I swept floors and cleaned up the breakfast stuff. I just threw in a load of laundry. I actually feel pretty good about what I have done. I am not even close to finished with what I have to do but I’m just so tired.

I'm hanging out at the salon getting my hair cut and coloured. DH and DS got the grocery shopping done while I'm here, and they are going to the airport to pick up my brother before coming back for me. After they pick me up we're going out for lunch and then to the hospital to visit DD. DD has gotten her CPAP removed and is on all oral feeds (via an ng tube). It is amazing to see her little face when we visit now

We're taking DS to see Ferdinand this morning, and then later out to dinner and to look at Christmas lights.
I had an OB appointment yesterday, and I have to go see an endocrinologist to be put on insulin :/ for my fasting numbers. I was expecting it but still not happy. She also explained all the extra monitoring that will start at 34 weeks and that they won't let be go past my due date, and will probably induce around 39 weeks. It was overwhelming and I hope to not let the extra appointments affect work too much, we have a new principal who just started last week and have had a lot of changes...

We have no plans for today, but as always things that need to be done. Now that we are moved back into the master bathroom and closet I can really focus on going room by room and putting everything back to rights. The most pressing things that need to be done is to finish my thank you notes from my shower, finish making some Christmas gifts and to put a coat of poly on the bookshelf for the nursery. DH needs to change some outlets out and hang some lights in the hallway...

DH was on the phone with his brother last night and BIL must have asked about how I was doing. DH replies, “she’s doing well! She’s really, really big now so, ya know, we are getting there!” I’m beginning to think he lacks basic survival skills. He also said, “we are at that point where it could happen any time!” Dude, I’m 31 weeks. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Has anyone else seen the Angel Soft toilet paper commercial with the pregnant woman? It shows her going to pee all night. At one point she gets off the toilet, washes her hands, looks in the mirror and says “you have to be kidding me little dude.” She then sits back on the toilet. I don’t know if it’s because I am super tired but it made me crack up.

Morning ladies! DS woke up at 6:30. We’re supposed to go to Disney today for our annual Christmas dinner at Biergarten in Epcot and the Candlelight Processional but Wife is sick. I made these reservations in July and it’s too late to cancel so we’re going to get charged if we don’t go. I don’t think we’re going. We have a few hours to decide. We finally decided to put together LO’s room this morning and when I opened the mattress box i realized it’s a freaking pack n play mattress. Thank goodness he’s sleeping in our room for the first several months bc his stud is never going to get done.

amesie that would have sent me running to L&D! Glad they stopped. I fell asleep icing my lady bits and moved to the recliner about 3, pretty typical. I woke up to some cramps but I think it was just gas. DH told me if I don't go into labor this weekend he thinks baby will just hang out until his due date (Jan 4th) ugh... please no! I think we are going to do Christmas cookies this weekend.

I haven’t been around much, but hi! We’re spending the weekend trying to get all the remaining Christmas stuff done and getting ready for the baby’s arrival. I have pre-e so they’ll induce at 37 weeks, which also happens to be Christmas Eve. I don’t have any other details and don’t see the doc again until Thursday the 21st and it’s driving me crazy.
In the meantime, just trying to enjoy my last week with my 2.5 year old as the only child.

Holy moly smash, so soon! I'm 37 weeks tomorrow and have a cold. I keep peeing myself while coughing. So glamorous. My sister in on her way to visit and I'm excited. DH has a cpr class this afternoon and is doing the online part now.

jessijean, at work yesterday everyone was saying three was no way I would make it to my due date but people said that last time And i went a week past. So I'm trying to mentally prep myself to go post dates again. I have 2 more weeks till I'm off work so do hope he stays on till then an maybe a few days longer so I can have a few days to myself before he is born.

flippinchica, I know. I cannot wrap my head around it! For some reason my mom and MIL are convinced they won’t actually induce me on the 24th or 25th because of the holidays. I’m like uhhhh guys I’m pretty sure they don’t really care.

Omg what a little cutie sparky85!! Today is shaping up to be a nice day! Quiet morning, then this afternoon I’m meeting up with a couple of my BFFs and my sister for a pre-birthday/pre-baby coffee date for me. My one friend couldn’t come back here for supper after, but everyone else is coming over, and my brother, friend’s boyfriend, and my parents for supper. H is currently getting the kids organized to make what looks to be a low-sugar cake haha, so cute.

Not feeling so hot this morning and my BP is 150/95. Why can’t this crap happen during the week? I’m supposed to call if it’s 150/90, but since the office is closed I know that would earn me a trip to L&D. I’m grateful that my husband doesn’t do anything pregnancy related because it means better hours, but I wish his office had some of the necessary supplies to test for protein and such.
We’re having a lazy morning, but are supposed to be jam packed from 12:30-8pm.

Trying to teach DD that she needs to respond when we say her name. So I said “when we say your name, you say Yes Ma’am or Yes Sir.” She goes “ok!” So we tried it then & said “hey DD!” And she says “yes ma’am or yes sir?” 😂😂😂

My TTM tip is to plan on going to 41 weeks and be pleasantly surprised otherwise 😂😂 over 50% of women go past their due date so the odds are in your favor that way haha.
DH is off today so we are running errands and getting stuff done around the house! After what feels like a very long week it is nice to have him around on a weekend day, his weekend days off are rare.

I told my sister to be ready for 2:30. She texts me at 1:50 to say that she is having stomach trouble (she has IBS and other issues so not a virus) and that she will be ready by 3. I am annoyed. I was already in the car dropping MH back off at work. I don’t want to go all the way home, get G out of the car, get her back in the car and drive all the way to her house. So now we are sitting in the car outside of her house waiting for her to be done. I get that she has a legit sickness but this is annoying. Also I have to pee but I don’t want to take G out of the car just to bring her into my sisters so I can pee just to bring her back out and put her back in.

My MIL has a very disconcerting habit of referring to my breast milk as “cream” because DS is in the high percentiles for height and weight. She asked via group text with their whole family how his 18 month checkup went and I gave his measurements and got the usual “no surprise, his mother produces cream!” I stopped breastfeeding a year ago, please stop. I’m concerned she’ll still be doing this when he’s an adult *cringe*

I have been included in group messages with them to pass on info but I’m not in their running group chat & H isn’t in mine haha. It’s better that way haha
