What's everyone up to today? I am folding and organizing baby clothes and hopefully taking down some Christmas decorations. We got an inch or so of snow, enough to make everything pretty but I am debating if it needs to be shoveled or not haha.

I'm having a cooking/food prep day.
I'm making pozole to take to two families that just had babies and then I'll prep a couple of batches of chili to pop in the freezer. Maybe some ham and bean soup too, we'll see how much energy I have. I dropped E off at day care so I can also get a little rest. We had a restless night.

Oh and it turns out morning sickness is back with a vengeance. I got sick again today, luckily right after I got up so then it was over with but yuck.
Poor DS was concerned about me bc he was hanging out with me while I was puking. DH had already left for work.

I haven't found a recipe I love for ham and bean soup - mind sharing your recipe? |

Good morning ladies!
I finally got to eat and shower this morning. It was quite possibly the best and worst meals and showers ever but it felt great to me. I’m hoping to go up and see the baby soon. I still haven’t seen him since the OR yesterday. Thankfully MH has. He should be here in a little bit.

This is my last morning to myself until after maternity leave. Man, that's disappointing when I put it that way.
I think I'm paranoid but I felt a noticeable pop as I finished going to the bathroom this morning but if my water did break there's barely anything coming of it. I've been having minor contractions for over a week so I'm just going to see if they get stronger. I'm not going to be the mom running to my OB for an amniotic swab.
Either way, less than 24 hours and I'll be in the midst of hard contractions. Thanks to everyone who shared their induction experiences with me. It definitely made me feel better.

I must have just looked at a bunch and made one up because I don't have one saved on my Pinterest board. I would say: beans leftover ham carrots celery onion garlic chili powder a little bit of thyme chicken broth bay leaf salt and pepper I'm using frozen lima beans from the summer garden so I won't cook it too long, maybe 15 min? I go in phases where I use my IP every day and then I won't use it for a couple of weeks. |

Morning!
Today is the first day we don’t have real plans or need to be anywhere since Christmas break started. Yay!
After we got home from the city yesterday I took a much needed mini nap, then got most of the new toys put away into homes, and H started working on the kitchen because we got a bunch of new kitchen stuff this year which was nice. He likes to cook, so he plans on making some freezer food today and throughout Christmas break. Hopefully it gives me some initiative to do some baking for the freezer and just to have too!
I got an IP for Christmas too, so I think we’re going to try that out for the first time today for supper.
Otherwise, still stuck in the deep freeze (it’s been hanging around real feel of -40 all week, with the actual temps not much better) so not much for outdoor play. Hopefully next week the kiddos can get out more, good thing we were at least busy with Christmas this week.
Have a good one!

I had an appt today w my OB. She said baby boy is very very low and I laughed like well I could have told you that lol the pressure is like 24-7. But everything looks good! I got all my appointments scheduled until the end but hope I don’t get to my next one (2 weeks from now & I’ll be 39w4d then).

Also I ordered my Fitbit today!! I’m so excited. 7-10 business days to ship which doesn’t matter except it’s funny to think I could have another outside baby by the time it comes lol.

Oh and cute story, at the end of my appt yesterday I said I’ll see her next week and she goes “maybe you can just give birth on New Years? 40 years I’ve been doing this and have never gotten to deliver the first baby of the new year” lol! So I told her I’ll see what I can do 😉

Morning!
I had a cervical length, growth ultrasound and regular appointment today. Everything looked good! Baby girl is approximately 3 pounds 14 oz which is good for 31 weeks. I’m measuring a bit ahead still.

Ugh, sorry easternshoregirl. Not cool for morning sickness to show up now! I always found that being overtired was a big ms trigger for me, so hopefully it’s just a fluke after a night of interrupted sleep. |

Hey all! RCS is 2 weeks from today! So I now have 2 weeks left of work. I’m still annoyed that I’m still working. Maybe when things switch over to the new company on 1/1 I’ll have better results? I’d like to be off when my parents are here to help DS get used to them. They’ll be here 1/4 so a week before RCS. We’ll see!
Also, for so reason people find it impossible to get into an elevator with me and not ask about my belly/pregnancy/due date. They’re all very nice, it’s just funny. People didn’t do this w DS.

I find that if I take it before it gets REAL bad, then I can catch it in time. Otherwise, if I wait and it gets too bad then 1 Zantac doesn’t do anything. I have to take 2 and then some tums and sometimes that gets rid of it. It’s so bad. I didn’t have like any heartburn with my DD1 so this is new territory for me |

No heartburn the first time around! I’ve taken 2 tums extra strength. I have Zantac 150 and i can take those twice I say so I guess I might as well. I’ll still be able to take one before bed. |
