Just finished cinnamon rolls! I cheated & used frozen bread dough instead of making my own buuuuut nobody got time for that!! I’m baking today & freezing to reheat on Christmas morning. They aren’t perfect but I know they will be soooo yummy! I’m using Pioneer Woman’s icing recipe which is maple & coffee 😍 As soon as they’ve risen & baked I’m going out for some last minute shopping. Apparently my stocking stuffer game is lame & I need to do better lol. Stockings were EVERYTHING in H’s house so I am out of my element a bit.

G is Home and cuddled up against me. She is having a snack of raisins and water and we are watching the price is right. I love the time right after she comes home from school. She is always so cuddly and sweet.

Good luck smash!!! Happy Friday everyone! DH and I took today off to do our Christmas together. We are going out to lunch at our favorite French restaurant for crepes, and then tonight we'll do a bread and cheese tray and exchange gifts. We are both very into gift giving so I'm really excited to give him his presents! This sounds like a wonderful way to spend the day with your H! Enjoy!

Anyone feeling a little less in the Christmas spirit this year? I’m usually Christmas Insanity. I wonder if it’s the pregnancy and looking at Christmas more as a milestone to pass before the baby.

Baby is indeed head down!! She was confirmed breech at 28 weeks via ultrasound and every doc since then had guessed she hadn't flipped so I have no idea when it happened but HOORAY!!
She has a full head of hair and is measuring just under 6 lbs, putting her estimated to be born between 7 and 8 lbs. Right in the middle of my other two weight wise!
I have never been so grateful for the opportunity to go a week past my due date like I had always planned on doing 😂😂

I am kind of the opposite, I am 100% focusing on Christmas so that I don't have to think about this baby coming. Bahaha. I am having a lot of fun seeing it through the eyes of my girls too. DH volunteered us to host Christmas and had that been the case I would have been grinchy but thank god we dodged that bullet. We do not have to see his family until 3! And we will leave at 7 because my kids go to bed at 7:30! Huzzah!!

I feel less Christmasy but I think that’s bc it’s our first year on our own & not spending with any family. My parents came a few weeks ago & did early Christmas with us but we won’t all be together & we won’t see H’s family until probably February or March when they come meet the baby. H has been busy too so we haven’t gone to look at lights or anything yet either.
I did CRUSH my stocking shopping today. DH is going to be so pumped.

Hey guys! I’m in the hospital waiting for a bed to open in L&D to start induction. When I came in for my NST yesterday, baby girls heart rate was irregular and showed an arrhythmia. I was already scheduled for the 26th but MFM said fuck it and decided it’s time for her to come out. We waited 24 hours for my Lovenox to wear off so I will have the option for an epidural this time! Yay ahhhh good luck!!! How many weeks are you? 36w5d! Not too far from the end.

Good luck smash! I have about 5 hours left to work today. I need to stop procrastinating. If I get everything done I’ll only need to come in for a little bit tomorrow and let me employees close up everything before Christmas.

Good luck smash, I hope your induction goes well (and fast)! Add me to the "no so excited about Christmas" group which is unusual for me. The never ending bathroom remodel, baby shower, Gestational Diabetes (mainly because I can't make and eat all the cookies I want to), general 3rd trimester tiredness all adds up to the feeling that Christmas has snuck up on me. My shopping is done (but I kinda feel like I phoned it in this year) and most of the wrapping is done. I need to make a few quick presents today or tomorrow and finish cleaning the house before my in-laws arrive. They were scheduled to come in tomorrow, but FIL has been sick so they are staying home an extra day to make sure he is better (which I'm thankful for). I'm not sure if he has had a cold or some sort of virus, but I'm glad they are willing to stay home an extra night to lessen the risk to me and Faith. I've made some cookies and might make a few more to put in the freezer for after Faith arrives so I still get my Christmas favorites. The meds I'm on allows me to have some small treats which is nice, but sometimes one cookie just doesn't cut it...

I fell more Christmas-y this year than when I was pregnant with DS. I was like 6 weeks and exhausted and nauseous but was pgal and hadn't had an ultrasound yet This time we are doing just a family thing since I'm so far along. I hope this kid doesn't come on Christmas Day. (I Will be 38+1)

I am excited for Christmas - probably because I love watching all the Christmas magic through my DD's eyes. She is sooo excited about everything Christmas related.
It has been somewhat difficult to do all the shopping, wrapping, getting Christmas prepared while over 7 months pregnant but I managed.

I need to purchase a new baby monitor - this time one with two cameras.
Any recommendations?

The 2-camera set comes with a monitor that has patrol mode, so it switches between the 2 cameras automatically every 10 seconds. We’ve had it 2.5 years now and haven’t had a single issue or malfunction like I know some other brands have

Good luck smash! My experience with air duct cleaning...see if you can find a trust-worthy company to check to see if you need it first. We had a company take a look in ours and they recommended against getting it done because we didn't need it, which was awesome. School just ended for the holidays! Yay! I am exhausted and I'm sure I'll have crazy contractions tonight from all my activity today. My classes go "caroling" around the school and sing some songs in Spanish to other classes. They were really into it this year and wanted to visit nearly every class, so we were very busy!

I am literally painting burgundy polish and gold glitter top coat on my nails as we discuss if we are feeling Christmassy this year so I’d say I’m there 😂 In all serious though, it is my favourite holiday but I’ve found it a lot more work the last few years to fully enjoy everything Now at 2.5 and 4.5 my kids are both at such a fun age, sleeping more normal, talking lots and understanding so much more, they are both really excited and that ups my level all over again!! It’s crazy to think I’ll have an almost 1 year old next year, these two were each around 6 months for their first Christmasses! It will be such a difference again!

Wrapping presents at 36 weeks pregnant should be an Olympic sport. I don’t have a good table to wrap on, so I’m sitting on the floor. It’s going... not so well. Lol.

DS has been waking twice a night since his surgery. Just went up and gave him meds and rocked him a little. I’ve been so spoiled with him STTN for the past year- hoping this is just a temporary thing and I’ll have a chance to STTN some more before baby comes! DD was the best sleeper, down to 1x a night by like 7mo and fully sttn before her first birthday. I got SO spoiled. When DH left for deployment she was 16mo & literally THE night he left, she woke up crying for me & did it Every. Single. Night. He was gone haha. It was a long 7 months 😂😂 DS was actually a terrible sleeper at first. He woke every 2 hours wanting to nurse for the first 6.5 months!!!!! We did sleep training after his first hypospadias surgery and he’s been a brilliant sleeper ever since.

I am actually sort of enjoying Christmas this year. Gifting has been a challenge and it has definitely slowed down my prep time for baby boy but it’s still fun. G is excited sort of and loves the Christmas tree which is helping.
