I didn’t get the fridge or pantry cleaned out yesterday, so it’s on the agenda for the weekend, along with cleaning out my car and setting up the new car seat configuration. We have an adults only New Years Eve Eve party tonight, and a family New Years Eve party tomorrow. But really I’d just like to go into labor instead. Zero signs of that happening any time soon though.

Are we going to close out the year with any more babies?!?! How are you planning on ringing in the new year? Maybe. I had loose stools yesterday and then had painless contractions for a few hours. They faded after dinner and then I woke up at 3:30 with contractions that went away after water and a snack. I have no idea if things will progress today or not. I am 38+6 but didn't have DS until 41 weeks. In other news DH did order my diaper bag for Christmas. It came yesterday along with the snoo. So if baby comes he has a place to sleep.

Last night I was having contractions every 10 min for nearly an hour but they went away...thank god! Because....today is move in day to our new house!! 2+ months of living at my parents house in transition of our move is over! Wooo!!
Last night I finally went through and washed baby clothes, blankets, etc. Poor Baby will be exclusively wearing hand me downs from DS1 since we have so many clothes I couldn't justify more. I feel so much better knowing I'm a tiny bit prepared.
We also got an offer on our home that we just moved out of! I'm crossing everything it goes through so we don't have to pay double rent for long.
Good luck to the new babies/post partum mamas!!

No big plans for new year. H has to go in to work for a few hours on NYE & I think he wlll Be building our headboard this weekend. We got into a little argument last night bc instead of borrowing a friends truck to get lumber he wants to take all the car seats out of our car & lay the seats down to try fit it in there. I’m like um NO I just spent all this time a few weeks ago getting it all situated in there & if I go into labor I am NOT wanting to deal with putting them all back in!! He doesn’t know how to install our clicktight so I am just annoyed.
I kept dreaming all night that my water was breaking and then woke up with nothing. I feel extra swollen today so I’ll try to put my feet up for most of the day.

No plans for NYE. Might order in food and fall asleep on the couch by 9pm (like most nights). Yesterday I had the spa day my husband had given me for my birthday. And I only woke up once last night to use the washroom and then fell right back asleep! Feeling good today

Morning! DS slept until 8! 8!!Amazing. We’re laying in bed watching Boss Baby. Man if he was older this would be the WRONG movie to be watching right now! But he’s 2.5 and loves it and has no clue what going on. 😂 No plans this weekend. It’s chilly here, 50s which is cold for FL. People will definitely be breaking out the parkas. We won’t. 😂 Also DS is still sick. All of the wheezing fine other than that. Unfortunately this is normal for him.

No NYE plans. We sometimes travel back to Hs home state but not this year!
Today my goal is to take down all the Chridtmas decos besides the tree. (I have... a lot). We will do the tree on New Years a Day. I’m usually a wait until after New Years person but I need all of this out and up in the attic so we can do final baby prep push or I should say just prep in general bc not much has been done.

ajetter you have an Acadia right? We do too. We love it except we now have a seating issue Do you mind me asking how old your oldest is and what your configuration is for seats? DS1 is 5 but lighter in weight. Baby and DS2 will go in the captains and then DS1 in the third row. Problem is there’s no latch back there or atleast we can’t find it. The Acadia is our main car and I’d like him in more than a backless booster.

Hey y’all! Yesterday we had DS’s oxygen treatment and then met my husband’s cousin and her kids at the aquarium. DS LOVED it!!! It was his first real outing since surgery and so wonderful to see him smile so much. Last night I moved all of his clothes to his new bedroom and put the washed baby clothes away in the nursery. We are meeting family at Chuck E Cheese this morning (they head back to Ireland tomorrow), and then friends are coming over with dinner and their kids this afternoon. We will be low-key tomorrow for sure.

The Acadia is our main car and I’d like him in more than a backless booster. I do have an Acadia. My oldest is 7, my next oldest is almost 5. They will both be in the back. When DD3 was born we still had DD1 (who was 5) harnessed in the back so DH used the seatbelt to install her Britax high back booster (a pinnacle maybe?). I left the straps tightened and she was able to buckle herself in and out. I checked it once a week to make sure they were still fitting properly. But she was in full day K and I didn’t have her in my car a ton. I haven’t figured out for sure what we’re going to do with DD2 in the back. I’d like to keep her harnessed but she is In a Diano (sp?) which is harder to buckle. If we have to switch her to a belt she’ll still be in the Diano. But honestly it was just as difficult for DD1 to buckle the belt for a while as it was the harness, so I climbed in the back often. Yay.

Hi all! It's snowing here. I ran and did most of my grocery last night so I just have one quick run to Costco today. We're going to my SILs tomorrow to do Christmas and lunch, then home for dinner. Today is a kitchen day for me, I plan to bake Pizelle and make soup for dinner and prep tomorrow's lunch and dinner (I bought SIL an IP and we told her we'd bring lunch. So she'll open it and then I'll make lunch in it. Hah!). Tomorrow is crab cakes with pasta. Nommmm. I may even make peanut butter cookies again. Plus I have a paper to write and would like to get started on next week's homework. 4 classes nearly down, 6 to go!
We have some serious prep to do for baby buuuut I'm really not even stressed. She doesn't even have a name 😂
My 2yo has been all snuggles and I love it. This is by far my favorite age so far. She talks so much, has an amazing imagination, and is so fun. She's getting to learn understanding too so that's exciting.
I bought a new Lillebaby today 🤫🤫🤫 there was an error on pricing on Amazon and they were offering a lightening deal AND coupon. So I got a $170 carrier for $30. I am considering gifting it but let's be honest, it's an embossed and I have been dying to see how soft and floppy it is. So I'll probably keep it. And for $30 bucks?? I'll take it! So this makes 2 carriers and a ring sling in my collection.... Oops.

Morning!
I feel like we aren’t too interesting lately. Just hanging out getting stuff done, trying to keep the house clean and get it somewhat organized and filling the freezer a little. My plan today is cookies!
We’ll more than likely just hang out at home for NYE. The rink will be open for an evening family skate but the kids have been sleeping so well, and I’m just not super comfortable, so I don’t know. H said he’s happy to stay home and just hang out.
It was supposed to hit in the -50s windchill in the city last night, so quite frankly I’m surprised we didn’t have to make a middle of the night trip up to have a baby Baha. Probably waiting for a blizzard instead 😂
Happy last weekend of 2017!! Excited to see who will have a 2018 baby for sure!

I’m currently going through my clothes trying to figure out what I can wear to a four hour football game in 15 degree weather tomorrow. My usual strategy for keeping warm in the winter is to go outside as little as possible. Add to that being eight months pregnant and my cold weather wardrobe is severely limited. Most of my maternity stuff is getting snug enough as it is, not sure if I can layer much of it! Hoping for some of those pregnancy hot flashes.

I’m so excited— DH’s birthday present will be here today! His bday is the 2nd but I fear we may not get much celebrating done depending on when baby shows up. But anyway he is a huge Cincinnati Bengals fan & for four years now I’ve been trying to get him a jersey but he can never decide which player he wants. Well I found one that is a HOF player who he actually knew growing up— we didn’t know they sold his jersey still! So I got him that one bc I know he will love it forever.

sunfrogger I have three too, a tula, mei tai & solly! Can’t have enough IMO 😂 I have an ergo, LÍLLÉbaby, ring sling, woven wrap and a K'tan. I had a mei tei with DS but I never used it so I gave it away. The lilebaby is new because I wanted one Thant can forward face.

What do you think of the name Parker? A last minute add to the list. DH decided he doesn't want to use Asher as a 1st name since he might get called ass-er.

I had grand plans to go and do our Christmas returns & exchanges today along with getting our click n go stroller. Well it snowed 4-5 inches overnight and I'm not going out in this mess. So I guess I'm going to spend most of the day sewing. I have three easy (but time consuming) baby blankets I want to get done, one for Faith and two for a set of twins who is technically due a few days before me but obviously will arrive sooner.
I'm also starting to have more uncomfortable Braxton Hicks and some cramping but I'm 98% sure it is not labor. I think it is just things getting more tight and uncomfortable in there.
We are going to a friend's house tomorrow night for an annual NYE "party" but it is usually more just friends hanging out, playing games, watching football/hockey and eating food. I told DH he needs to stay sober enough to drive home because I do not want to drive home after midnight, in freezing temps 9 months pregnant. He and his buddies usually go through a bottle or so of rum on NYE so this will be a big change for him. I guess if we have to we could stay the night, but I would rather sleep in my own bed.

I just spent way too much time and effort trying to find DD’s bubble guppie figurines that were scattered around the house and under couches and under beds. And now I feel weird and my head is fuzzy and throbbing. I’m sure my blood pressure is now pretty high 😑

DS is on day five of nap strike. It’s getting a bit frustrating. I’ll cuddle him for awhile and then put him down, and he just putters around in his crib for an hour or two. I’m still getting free time to get things done or relax, so that’s good. But it screws up the rest of his day. He will crash hard at 5, then be grumpy for the rest of the night. What’s the deal kid?!
