There is a reason we don’t keep our kids up late. THEY NEVER SLEEP IN. None of the girls went to bed until 11:30 last night, and DD1 and DD3 are both up at 6:30. We’ll see how long DD2 sleeps but come on kids.
We’re having some friends over for brunch, I want to get my spice/baking cabinet cleaned out (did the pantry yesterday!) and having dinner with my parents. But basically I’m hoping I don’t have to leave the house for any reason. It’s currently -8, feels like -22 outside. DNW at all.

Good morning!! H was so funny last night— his nose was so stuffy he basically snored like a train all night & I kept waking him up bc it would wake me up & at one point he was like “what are you talking about I’m not snoring!! I’m not making any noise leave me alone” 😂😂 and this morning doesn’t remember any of it lol.
I have to get groceries today but I’m not sure our store on base is open so I’m waiting for DD to wake up & then we will figure it out. She has already slept in 20 min past her regular time so I’m happy!
Also I WILL have a baby this month! Hopefully this week since that’s how early DD came, but at their very least this month!!!

ajetter my kids never sleep in either. Maybe 15 minutes extra max but it can’t be counted on. It’s officially baby month for half of us!

No baby for me as I’m one of the last due dates in February. I’m not sure what we’re doing today, my best friend was supposed to meet us since she’s in town but she’s not sure now with the cold.

It will be just like taking a huge poop. I wish I could take a dump & lose 7 lbs instantly” I was equal parts 😂 and 🙄 like H we have done this before you know labor is not that simple lol.

Good Morning! No baby today for me. At least I don't think so! Definitely this month (I HOPE!) but hopefully not this week. We have a party at a friends today and I'm looking forward to it except for getting from the warm house to the warm car. Its too cold.
I've got the baby stuff cleaned and put away, the room is mostly ready.
This week week I have to sanitize the bottles and the pacifiers. I started to pack the hospital bag yesterday.

Happy new year! So excited to be officially baby month for lots of us and definitely baby year! After midnight H was like “well we know we are having a 2018 baby now!”
It was moving and punching me down low like crazy while I laid in bed trying to sleep so I did have a couple moments wondering if things were going to change lol, but we’re still here and nothing else going on.
Another week ahead of just being at home. H is still on break all week which I am so thankful for. I wouldn’t be sad if I had a baby before next Monday because I’m just so uncomfortable and getting BH over EVERYTHING that it’s gonna be really hard full time solo SAHMing, but it is what it is and my kids are pretty good to me so I guess I’ll just keep my fingers crossed!

I’m not likely to have a baby this month, but at least I can start just saying “next month” when people ask me a million times when I’m due. Back to work tomorrow! Wish I’d gotten more done this break, but overall it was fun.

I'm still just feeling like crap. I told DH this morning that there is no way I'm making it through a full work week until I have this baby. My appts are usually on Wednesdays so I think I'll take Wednesdays off until my due date!
I did get most of the decorations put away. Maybe we'll do the tree next weekend. Then DH will do the decorations outside at some point.

But even if this is the real thing may not be till tomorrow. My mom is on the way here to watch DS. She should get here right around dinner.

But I will definitely be having a baby this month. Started out this morning with a toddler tantrum when I put the French toast casserole in the over (he wanted to eat all the topping off now!)

I told DS now that it’s January that I’ll be having a baby sometime this month and he said “TODAY??!!!” and got so excited haha. He’s ready. DD is always cuddly with me but is much more now, she knows something’s up soon.

Hi guys. I'm still around and will eventually get my birth story written up. This LO is actually latching so I'm breastfeeding instead of pumping (for now). The OB warned me the second night is hard but holy shit... he nursed all night expect the 2 hours the nurse took him. I'm not joking.. nursed on my sore nips all night. Last night was much like night 2 but I managed a few hours, I think. I was so tired last night the room was spinning. I should be napping but my mom is here to visit. Happy New Year!

This cold turned into a sinus infection. I swear I have been sick the last 6 weeks. What the actual fuck.

Given how long it takes my husband to poop comparing pooping to labor *might* be a fair comparison 😂

Speaking of poop I just had my first real post c-section poop and it felt like giving birth. I hope I never have to go through that again. Thinking of you jessijean!

I’m having the opposite problem. All the things are running through me. I usually don’t go everyday and I have gone like 6 times since Wednesday.

I spent the majority of the afternoon doing Christmas returns and exchanges. I'm exhausted and pisssed off.
1) Babies 'r Us: took forever to get someone's attention to get the stroller off the shelf and forever a second time to get a coupon for my registry completion discount (the stroller is the only item on the registry). There was a sign up that clearance clothes were an additional 15% off with a coupon, but no one had a coupon, it wasn't online and no one would help other than to say "if we have any they would be by the front doors". Can some damn employee just give me the coupon code or go find it for me since I'm like a bazaillion weeks pregnant?!?!
2) Kohl's and JC Penny were more helpful, but I couldn't do the exchanges because their shelves and racks were so disorganized I couldn't find the proper sizes, so now I've lost out on the Black Friday Deals for an even exchange.
3) My Mom got me some underwear (not fancy stuff) at Victoria Secret and even with a receipt my only options for a return were to return it to my Mom's Visa or a store credit. VS sizes are so weird that none of their stuff ever fits me even when I'm not pregnant so a store credit does me no good. I hate that their stuff runs so small and they don't carry anything larger than Large. So I lost out on $30 worth of spending I could have done somewhere else.
4) Gap (this might be what I'm pissed off at the most)- I ordered some maternity stuff online and while I know they do free shipping returns I stopped by the store since I was already at the mall. The guy wouldn't even take the returns with the receipt because I bought them online and they don't sell maternity stuff in stores. WTF?!?! I've never had that happen before...
But most of it is done, I guess I'll so some online shopping to get the right sizes for DH and to return the GAP stuff. We got all of our inside Christmas stuff down and put away, it is too freezing cold to do the outside yet, but tomorrow I will probably unplug the timer on everything.

aprilz81, Gap has terrible customer service. All their brands are so picky with returns!! I had the hardest time at Banana Republic recently. I can't believe a company so successful as that can get away with those shitty policies.

I don't usually shop their brands, I find Old Navy too cheap with quality, GAP is overpriced for what you get... But I do like the maternity leggings I ordered from there. I also don't understand why so few clothing stores carry their maternity stuff in store. I don't expect huge selections all the time, but it is crazy all the hoops we have to go through to to find clothes to fit our changing bodies.

This cold turned into a sinus infection. I swear I have been sick the last 6 weeks. What the actual fuck. We can hang out together. I have been sick since the week before Thanksgiving. I was expecting it though bc DS started a new (temporary) day care at a center while his in home day care provider is out for maternity leave. She reopens Jan 16 and I can't wait. I really don't want to be sick when this baby is born.

I’m currently walking on the treadmill. Hoping to start encouraging this kid to make her debut. It’s insane how different in activity level I have been with each of my pregnancies. With DD2 I ran a half marathon at 23 weeks and was still jogging on and off at 37 weeks. With DD3 I made sure to get in at least a nice long walk daily before I was put on bed rest. This time around my body just has not responded well to lots of activity. I had the speed set to 2.5mph. And even that is pushing it for all the ligaments and muscles in my lower belly. Getting back in shape is going to be a loooooo g road, I have a feeling.
