hiimjamie my DS was a big fan of sleepsacs. We actually ended up buying some from halo online in a 5T. The really big ones have foot holes, but we didn't pull DSs feet through.

Omg i didn’t realize they made them in toddler sizes yay!! I was not looking forward to switching him to blankets. He doesn’t seem to “get” them. 🤣

Luckily we still have baseboard heating in the bedrooms so we can do a different temp in there, but my goodness.

DS wears the sleep sack, calls it his blanket and uses the blanket in his crib as a pillow. 🤷♀️

maddisonrose, good luck! My friend that had an induction a couple of weeks ago said that was way more stressful knowing when it was going to happen v. her first baby that they just had to wait for. All the mucus plug talk! My discharge has picked up a lot this week, but luckily my app said it would at this point (I'm 35 weeks) so I don't think there's anything else going on. dragonflyinn, I'm with you on the weight gain but people are telling me how big I am! And that I've gained all over. Um...OK, thanks. I'm just seriously hoping to be able to drop the weight as easily as I did with DS. I know it will probably be harder but a girl can hope. Great job to you moms that are pumping!! Woohoo!!

We have huge built in shelves in our living room that I just dusted and tidied! I filled a trash bag with crap from them and then buried it in our trash bin so my husband wouldn't see. He can get a little too sentimental about physical belongings sometimes!

So. Much. Pressure. On my pelvis today. Like sometimes I feel like the head is trying to poke out. Nothing out of the ordinary for contractions, but I’m still considering asking my mom if she’s still up for spending the night these days since she offered awhile ago. I just don’t want to make a big deal of it if it’s just random symptoms that are changing, but I also was in complete denial that I was in labour with the other two that I feel like I’ll still never be able to trust any gut feelings this time lol. My other two came out so fast that I don’t have a lot of time to think about it when I do start!

Buried in snow here. I think it has stopped, but it’s hard to tell because it is dark and snow is blowing around everywhere. The nice thing is that it is so cold that the snow is really light and fluffy, so it’s easy for DH to clear off the walkway and cars. Except for the part where the wind just blows it right back on.

maddisonrose happy baby day!!!! You got this girlie!!! aprilz81 how high were your fasting numbers? 2 doesn't seem that bad. She wants them at/under 90 and they were 103 and 106. I think it was that they were two consecutive high numbers is what concerned her, even though my post meal numbers are fine. I'm 100% okay with the increase in meds, but I wouldn't call this trend anything to start thinking about inducing early, but I didn't go to med school so who knows. Like I said earlier this week an "early" induction around 38 weeks isn't early enough to cause a NICU stay (as long as her glucose levels are stable) so if I can get my cervix to start to be favorable I don't care to go a few weeks early.

sarah your nips shouldn’t rub on the inside of the flanges. Normally your pump comes with 2 sizes try the bigger one, if you aren’t already! They shouldn't? Well crap, maybe that's part of my issues too. I literally received extra parts in the mail this morning, crap.

I am jealous of all kids that are/were in a crib past 2 years old. We would have kept C in her crib as long as we could but she had other plans. A few months after her 2nd birthday, she decided to try to climb out of the PNP and landed wrong (she hadn't even tried to climb out of the crib). She ended up breaking her arm! It was too risky to use the crib and PNP...so...big girl bed it was!

Well, it may have taken all day long with 294828197 breaks in between, and my back might be spasming all over, but i managed to give myself a nice pedicure!! My feet and toes look and feel amazing. I’m in pain though 😂 I was planning on getting one done at the salon next week but after spending over $200 on my hair yesterday, it’s now no longer in the budget for yet another self-care splurge 🤷🏼♀️
PSA: don’t attempt to give yourself a pedicure at over 37weeks pregnant

There is no way I could give myself a pedicure right now. I have a hard enough time painting C's toenails right now

amesie, I cut my toenails last night and considered it a huge accomplishment! Even without all the special stuff or polish. I got some gift cards to salons for Christmas so I'm going to do a haircut/mani/pedi day!

There is no way I could give myself a pedicure right now. I have a hard enough time painting C's toenails right now it certainly wasn’t easy. I had to do it in a million steps, hence why it took literally all day long haha! I don’t recommend it. I recommend letting the professionals do it at this point

I typically consider getting my shoes on an accomplishment these days 😂 I don’t know what possessed me to think that it was a good idea. But it was one of those things that I set my mind to doing and needed to finish it once I started

Now I want a pedicure. And shaved legs. And to put my boots on without having to sit around gasping for breath afterwards. Is it February yet?

I got a pedi a few weeks ago and I asked for (and received) a foot callus grater thingy for Christmas. It has a handle on it so I can at least keep the calluses under control which is hard to do even when I'm not pregnant, I have bad feet.

I had an ultrasound today and his eyes were open which was neat and freaky at the same time. My fluid looked good but I’m beginning to wonder if he’s going to get big like DS was. He measured 4 lbs 11 oz today at 33 weeks.
