Woke up to either an increase in discharge or my water is slowly leaking. Of course I'm also paranoid at every little dull ache even though I'm sure it's from my sleeping position. I have a check up at 9:45, it can't come soon enough.

I’m glad to see you already started fandoms jessijean. I’ve been up on and off all night with constant dull cramping. I wish I didn’t have to work these next two days because I can see them being super slow like the rest of the week has been.

sarahh with all the cramping and such that you've had are they sure you'll make it to even your new rcs date? Seems like your body is preparing for labor.

She said she may see me earlier but to only come in if contractions are 3 minutes apart. The cramping is pretty constant but not super painful so I guess I wait until they get painful to go in. She told me to take it easy which I am taking as laying around and eating junk haha

And she thinks a lot of the cramping is coming from baby’s super low head position.

Good morning ladies! I have been up since around 4:45. I had to pee and now I am congested and can’t sleep. I have a dr appointment at 10:30. My stepmom will be home with G. I am hoping to buy the last 1 or two Christmas gifts I have to get today and be done with it all.

Should have known there would be more people up! Lol. I had to pee and now my husbands alarm has gone off 6 times in the last 20 minutes and baby girl has the hiccups. Naturally DH is still snoring. That guy can sleep through almost anything.
Is anyone else dealing with extremely dry skin? I know the air is dry, but my skin has never been this freaking dry before. I’m using body lotion, body butter, body oil, nothing can keep it from being painfully dry for more than a couple of hours.

It’s usually just my hands and feet and it drives me crazy.

Last day of work until January 2nd! My kids all go on a field trip to visit the high school they will be in next year. I love it because it involves seeing tons of old students and it’s so nice not to have to teach the day before holiday break. That said, it involves a lot of walking up and down stairs during the tour and I am pretty slow these days. Hopefully I don’t end up awkwardly gasping for air 😛 Eight month mark today! I’ve been looking forward to it because I think it will be a wake up call for DH. Not that he’s been unhelpful, but we need to start getting organized and, of course, PICK A NAME. I think hearing eight months is going to do it.

snowyowl we also really need to pick a name asap. The other night I mentioned my preference order of the short list we have. I didn't get much feedback from DH except that he wants to have a name settled before we go to the hospital. Ummm, we better get to choosing since I'm almost 38 weeks!

Question for you guys? Do we want to start separate check ins for outside babies vs pregnancy check ins or keep it all together?

I only got 4 hours of sleep last night and am now struggling to get my day going. Good thing I only have to answer to myself about what time I go into work. 3 days left until my 10 day break!

DD2 is going through a terrible sleep regression. Great timing, kid 🙄
I think my hiccups down low yesterday were a fakeout, I felt them high last night. My appointment is at 4 pm today and I am hoping we schedule a version for next week if baby is still breech.
Also, frigging small world story. There are probably 10-15 doctors at my practice who I rotate through for my appointments. This past week I played violin at a nursing home and this couple came up and asked if I knew a certain doctor because he was their son. He happened to be the doctor I am seeing today for the first time this pregnancy and he is also the one that delivered DD2! Weird coincidence.

Morning ladies!
I’m home today trying to rest from the ER orders. H is also off today so we might get a couple small baby things accomplished. I’m ok with directing while laying on the couch 😆
We are due for a messy storm tomorrow and most likely Christmas Day. Anyone else?

+1 to extra dry skin. Mostly my legs which I have just about given up on trying to moisturize.

Why did you need to go to the ER if it’s something you are comfortable sharing? Glad you are home now.

Morning!
Pretty normal day ahead, just today and tomorrow left for H at work! Then he has a 2 week Christmas break and then whatever he ends up taking whenever baby shows (so ideally baby shows up right at end of break so we can make the most of it lol!) he requested 3 weeks but it just depends on timing and how I’m doing.
DS has hockey practice later this afternoon and following it is a Christmas potluck/family skate with the two age group teams above him so that should be nice!

Anybody watch Peaky Blinders on Netflix? New eps today! I’m beyond excited. The first two seasons were great (out on English subtitles bc of thick accents) season 3 was a little goofy but I hear this new season is fantastic.

Good morning! MIL is taking DD for the day and now I can’t make up my mind with what I want to do with my day... I should go into work for a few hours to do my online education. It has to get done and we could use the money. Buuuut id much rather stay home and watch hallmark Christmas movies while wrapping presents. Hmmmm
ETA I can go in anytime on any day to do the online education. It’s not a set time and day that I have to be there

Add me to the crampy club. All night it was pretty constant in my lower back & abdomen. Baby is so low that it may just be uncomfortable from that but pretty much all night I had a dull cramping feeling. With DD the morning labor started I had my bloody show & a few hrs later water broke so I don’t think anything is happening yet since the only things are the insane amount of pooping yesterday & this cramping.

This morning I’m meeting a lady to sell my old diaper bag. It’s a Petunia Picklebottom so expensive but I kept it in almost perfect condition with DD so I hope she will decide it’s good enough for her lol. I also have to stop by the grocery store to get supplies for Christmas Eve & Christmas morning. H’s family always does tacos on Christmas Eve so I’ll be making that & my family has breakfast casserole & cinnamon rolls Christmas morning so I need to get started on the cinnamon rolls today or tomorrow. It’s our first Christmas alone so it feels different but I’m excited to start traditions just us!

I’m using body lotion, body butter, body oil, nothing can keep it from being painfully dry for more than a couple of hours. I get very dry, cracked skin as well (particularly bad on the backs of my hands. Have you tried aquaphor? It's the only thing that works for me.

Well, I slept great from about 10:30-3:30 and then it went to hell. DH had gone out with the guys last night, so I was really glad about that but he came back late and even though he texted to let me know he was back, I was still worried about him for some reason. So I was awake for awhile and then DS came running in sort of crying at 5 but at least he settled down quickly once we snuggled up together. I knew my alarm was going to go off not long after 6 so then the sleep anxiety set in and it took awhile to go back to sleep again.
I was telling a co-worker today that I forgot that today is show and tell at DS's day care and another co-worker that has high schoolers chimed in and said "oh you guys don't even know, it is just going to get harder!" So that irritated the first co-worker and me because we both have 2 year olds that have been crappy sleepers from day 1 and really we are both still just in survival mode and her #2 EDD is 1/19 and my EDD for #2 is 2/7. So don't tell me things are going to get harder, I don't want to hear it! I get her point but wasn't in the mood for that first thing this morning when I felt like shit (see above) <vent over>
In other news, I feel like my cold is turning into a sinus infection. I don't think I've ever had one before but I've got a lot of pressure and pain in my head to go along with all the mucus so that is just lovely. OB yesterday said just keep taking the decongestant and Tylenol.
ETA: sorry this is such a debbie downer complain-y post!
