Good morning!
I'm thrilled because I ordered the rug for the baby room back in September, and it was backordered till early January. Just got an email that it finally shipped! The room just won't feel complete till there's a rug.
Today we're visiting a bunch of cousins, so I'm glad DD will get some kid interaction after this whole week of no daycare.

We are checked in at the hospital and waiting for lab to come and start my IV. I barely slept, of course.

Nothing major going on here. DS is at day care again today. I didn't get to everything I wanted to do yesterday so I'll try again today. I'll prep a couple of freezer meals and make my ham and bean soup. I also need to declutter and clean the kitchen but DH is WFH and he sits at the kitchen table to work so I might have to kick him out for a little while. Definitely a nap. Didn't sleep well last night either. He napped at DC yesterday so went to sleep around 10, then he came into bed with me and was restless and then DH came in and woke us up at 7:15! We're going to visit/take food to our regular DC provider who had a baby on 12/12 this afternoon too. DS will be excited to play with her son (I hope!), they are buddies.

Oh and I'm now 3/3, got sick again this morning. After a f-ing sip of water. My new neighbor that is about to start work as a midwife at my practice (!) recommended vitamin B so I'll get back on that. I took it at the beginning of the pregnancy too. I just don't want to get sick at work when I go back next week. Or during my commute. Ugh.

Another day of nesting planned here! I have newborn clothes to fold and put away, I got a carpet steamer for Christmas and would like to clean our carpets, I am hoping to assemble the dollhouse we got for our DDs, etc. I am really proud of how productive I have been this week.

Morning. DD came in at 430 to say she peed through her diaper & pajamas. I had to change all her sheets at 430 in the morning. Then woke up at 8 & I just threw up all my breakfast. Thought I was going to burst a blood vessel in my face— it was the most forceful throw up I’ve ever done. DH is staying home from work today to take care of us.

Good luck today jessijean!! H got a great start on freezer meals yesterday so I plan on doing some baking today both to freeze and to have out. And we might put our Christmas decorations away because otherwise it might become a job that hits the back burner soon haha. I’d just rather the house be ready. Plus the high today is -29C (-20F) with -45 windchills so it’s not like we are spending much time outside these days lol. Sadly these cold stretches aren’t abnormal for us, but it doesn’t make it any less chilly especially when I click “on this day” on FB and my pics are from Kihei last year haha. We finally watched Frozen last night for the first time. How we made it this long I’ll never know haha, but my DD is obsessed with her Frozen books and DS, despite being the older one, is finally sitting for movies and really getting into them so we had a good cuddle session on the couch last night! Have a good one!

My husband is a jackass.
He was supposed to be home from work at 10:30. Instead he decides to go to a friend’s for an hour to hang out. He lets me know, but he needs to turn his phone off because the battery is low. He’s not home within an hour, and his phone is off. So I am trying to sleep, but lying awake worrying. I get a call at 12:30 that he left his friends, but his car broke down. His phone battery is barely hanging on. He’s going to turn off his phone, push the car to another friend’s house nearby, then call me. Meanwhile it’s 4 degrees outside and he never brings a coat to work. He finally comes in the door at 1:15. He ended up getting the car onto the side of the road and walking/jogging the two miles home.
He ran out his phone battery playing some game. I told him that was not ok for a variety of reasons (his car actually breaks down a lot, and I’m getting to the end of this pregnancy and might urgently need to get in touch with him).
I’m tired and annoyed this morning.

I am still at the hospital. They won’t discharge me until tomorrow. I slept for close to 6 hours last night and it was sort of amazing. My dr came to see me last night. She decided to do I’s circumsision (sp?) last night instead of Saturday because her daughters want to go skiing. She does not want to go skiing but she has been working so much that she caved and told them yes. I am going to go upstairs in a little bit to see him. MH is bringing me some food since the food here is lacking. I had a gross dinner and a gross breakfast today. They let me feed little man twice last night. I am going to try and do a bunch of his feedings today too. MH should probably get a turn too. I can’t wait to snuggle him. He is a good eater and a cuddly sleeper.

I'm glad he got home safely!

I'm getting ready to start a marathon of cooking... I'm not sure how much I'm going to get done today, even with help but I know we will make a big dent in my list! What doesn't get done today I will just work on over the weekend or into next week until everything is done.
I'm also hoping to get the Christmas decorations put away, give the house a good cleaning, touch up some paint in the upstairs hallway (left over from construction where we added an upstairs laundry and had to repair drywall) and get DH to update all of the electrical outlets in the new bathroom and bedroom.
FYI, I'm already tired of the bitterly cold weather. I need to go out and do some returns and exchanges of Christmas gifts for DH and me and I don't want to go out in below freezing weather but since this is projected to last another 10 days I'm probably not going to have a choice...

dragonflyinn, sorry about the sickness...is that morning sickness for you too or a stomach bug? snowyowl, I would be livid. One day, DH came home late from work (like 6pm instead of 5pm) and found me crying b/c I had convinced myself he had died in a car crash. He had left his phone at home that day. These men need to realize we MUST be able to reach them!! Wow, peachesncream, you are definitely nesting hard! My freezer meals probably will seem piddly compared to some of you ( aprilz81, I'm looking at you with all your ingredients!) but I am feeling good about my progress with that. I have 2 batches of chili, 2 batches of chick pea curry, 1 meatloaf, 1 stuffed shells and an already cooked (just frozen) meal of pozole. We just have an above-the-fridge freezer so I am not working with much space! I will squeeze in as much as possible though. I will try for at least 2-3 more dishes. We will get a lot of food from family/friends in the first few weeks, which I'm also looking forward to. Then, I'll try to restock at the end of maternity leave for when I go back. When I go back to work, the weeks will look like this probably: M-freezer meal T: pasta W: freezer meal R: leftovers F: pizza weekends: whatever we can put together I need to go find some other recipes that look good for freezer meals b/c I feel like I am using the same old same old ones. Anyone have any that are easy and pretty healthy? We like lots of veggies!

Oh and I think I got up to pee like 5 times last night but only had a teeny tiny trickle of pee each time, I was so mad each time that happened!
Baby was making some big movements...I also freaked myself out during the night thinking that she was no longer head down but I am not really worrying about that now in the light of day.

easternshoregirl, don't feel bad, I know I'm going overboard and we have a full size upright deep freezer in our garage so we have the storage space for all of of this (or at least I hope so!).

This morning I’ve made matching sister shirts for all the girls and cleaned our infant seat. Apparently thinking my blood pressure was good had more to do with taking it easy for a couple days. Last night and this morning it was 155/90. Whoops. I’d call the OB but I feel like they’d tell me to just lay down. Hoping to do some more cleaning around the house. Maybe get the pantry and fridge cleaned and organized. Good luck jessijean! Hope everyone else has a good day.

Morning! I’m exhausted. Poor DS was coughing until around 2am so we couldn’t sleep bc we could hear him through the monitor. He has pretty bad lungs after an early bout with RSV. So when he gets a cold is easily develops into a horrible, nebulizer worthy cough. We have to be carefully start treatments right away. So we did last night and this morning. I dropped him at daycare for a few hours so Wife can work a little and then she’ll go get him. No fever and he’s acting fine and eating thankfully. I just wish there was more we could do. On another note my flipping dog bit me last night. He’s such an asshole. This happens about once a year and it’s why we always have a baby gate between him and DS. Basically my dumb ass other dog freaked out and tried to leap over him while I was sitting between them on the couch while they were both sleeping and he went after the other dog but my hand got caught in the action. The other dog is a freaking derpy husky. He didn’t react. Thankfully it isn’t too bad. It’s crazy. It’s just he has no idea what he’s doing. He just snaps and when we get him to stop it’s like he doesn’t when know what happened. We try really hard to prevent these situations. They’re truly fine most of the time. Things like this are super rare. I was his 4th owner in the first 11 months of his life. He’s now 9 and the other dog is 7.

Good luck jessijean! I'm sorry for the pukes easternshoregirl and dragonflyinnWe didn't do freezer meals last time and I don't think I'm doing them this time. DH hates casseroles and doesn't eat soup for dinner (only a lunch meal in his mind) and he is the better cook anyway so 🤷🏼♀️

I know we will have a meal train though & some friends have already made a few frozen meals for us. My mom will cook a lot when she is here too.

Good luck today jessijean! Hi all! Happy Friday. I have been away from the office the past two weeks which was great! I have a lot of catching up here to do though because when I'm away from my desk I don't make it on as often. So excited to see so many new squishes, and so many on the way! The bad part of being at the tail end of our BMB is seeing all these new babies makes me so excited, and I still have 7 weeks until my due date so quite a bit to go still.

If I do a hot ham and cheese or a panini style sandwich he is fine, but not a regular cold cut sandwich. *shrug* Cereal is only a breakfast food for him and I will gladly eat that for dinner sometimes...
