Hi all! I have had a crazy busy day. Tomorrow is looking to be just as crazy. G has a little cold. Nothing crazy just a runny nose but it made her sort of miserable all day. She watched a lot of tv and I don’t even care. She was so cuddly. Then my sister came over to exchange gifts. G had a good time opening presents. Tonight is D&D night for MH so he is currently playing and I am relaxing. The best part of D&D night is that I get my bed to myself. He usually plays until almost 2am and then sleeps on the couch so that he doesn’t disturb me.

I am almost finished with Christmas prep. I added a few Star Wars books for kids to DH's list so he can read them to Faith, they are scheduled to arrive tomorrow and I will need to wrap them. I found them at BBB but all but one of them were $3-4 cheaper on Amazon, so I bought one and it is wrapped so if the others don't arrive it isn't a big deal. I also used my registry completion discount at BBB and Amazon and now the only thing I think we need is the snap and go stroller, we have $75 in gift cards to Babies r Us so we will order it from there with a coupon and we should be out of pocket less than $25 for it...
I made three Christmas presents tonight for DH's extended family, I've had them planned for most of the summer but managed to procrastinate until tonight to actually make them. I'm going to drop some hints about doing a white elephant exchange next year but I'm not sure it will work. There are 3 generations and the grandparents (DH's aunt and uncle) usually give their grandkids their presents after the meal but the rest of us (DH's cousins) usually exchange token gifts and since I've been in the picture I usually make them something. Until Faith is born the youngest is about 21, so even if the grandparents want to do gifts the rest of us could do a white elephant type thing that can serve at entertainment and not have the stress of buying gifts for everyone.

aprilz81 I have a few Star Wars books that MH reads to G. She loves them! They are part of the little golden book series. We have “I am a Jedi” and he just bought her another one for Christmas but I don’t remember what it’s called. It may be “I am a pilot.” She is currently super into Star Wars.

Congrats smash, adorable! I love her name. It was at the very top of my girl name list! I’m sad I’ll never get to use it, but I’m glad someone is

DH and I are working our way through the usual holiday movies. We watched Elf and Muppet Christmas Carol so far this week, and tonight is Die Hard, my personal favorite.

DH is a Star Wars nut, I'm not a fan... I don't hate them but I don't really like them either. We bought two of the Little Golden Books for Ava so we have those. These are a series of four (?), Good Night Darth Vader, Darth Vader and Son, Darth Vader's Little Princess and Darth Vader and Friends. I skimmed through them and they look kinda cute. They are the size of small board books, hardcover with regular paper pages. Someone at our shower got us (aka DH) a set of Star Wars bath toys that are pretty cute...

Man I have a new respect for you c section mommies. I'm not sure if it was my fall or he has moved but everytime I move wrong (stand up, put legs up, get in the car, attempt to get in bed) I feel like the muscles or ligaments at the bottom my bump are being ripped apart. So I'm banished to the recliner again tonight. Realistically I doubt I'll heal much before delivery because I think the weight of everything is making my injuries feel 10x worse and will take longer to heal. I'm glad I already planned on any epidural because I can't even lay in bed right now, pushing a baby out sounds impossible.

I have this weird feeling that it may be baby day. I woke up to a lot more pressure and somehow feel like my water could break at any minute. His movements have changed a bit so maybe he's just hitting new nerves. I really didn't want to be in the hospital for Christmas :/ so part of me is hoping my senses are wrong.

Thanks to all! We are hopefully busting out around lunchtime today which would be amazing.
Once I have a computer and some energy, I’ll type up the induction/delivery story, which ended up being hectic and slightly insane.

I’m sorry you are so uncomfortable jessijean. I was a big fan of the epidural, so hopefully it keeps all your combined discomfort under control when baby day does get here!

Well, my boobs must be getting ready for game day. They are getting that tender/tingly feeling like I used to get when it was time to pump. I've been getting that too. My boobs hurt a lot. I'm amazed that they feel like that already.

I see the 4 ever for under $200 not $100. Am I missing something? I may scoop it up at the under $200 price anyway. I love the one we have already.

The post I saw online about it said another $100 comes off at checkout. I’m debating buying it because we will definitely use it eventually, but it seems silly to buy it so far in advance?

It’s out of stock online. The store had some on Friday but it’s saying out of stock in the store now too. 😭
