Well I think MH and I are succumbing to this cold 😩 I’m so stuffed up with a sore throat. Now i really hope i don’t go into labor this week so we have time to fight this before I have to push a kid out and actually take care of it haha.
Also, my MIL is going to treat me to a pedicure on Saturday while her cleaners are at my house 😍 I don’t want to go into labor and miss that!!

I am 39w today! Hopefully less than 2 weeks left! I keep telling myself that and that this is all only temporary.
DD1 has preschool for the first time in 3 weeks this morning and I am treating myself to some Starbucks. I am hoping to hear back from a job I interviewed for today or tomorrow. Otherwise my only plans are laundry and basement reorganization.

Morning people! Today my school started back up & im obviously not there haha so idk what to do with myself this morning! This also means C is back at “school” until noon so I have the whole morning to myself. I had hoped I’d have a baby at this point but I will just enjoy the peace & quiet I guess.
Trying not to get stressed bc every school week that goes by w/o a baby means I need to plan another week of lessons for my sub & hope she is ok with extending a week or two. She said she was but I hate having to revisit that conversation again— basically I hate when things don’t go according to my plan & I have to ask people to help me AGAIN lol. Also I hate the thought that if baby goes late I will end up missing the entire quarter & that sucks.

It is also very weird to think about my students who are literally in my class RIGHT now and I’m not there. 😭😭

marygracerich I need to get out of the house today too. I’m trying to figure out where I want to go where there aren’t too many people. There is a Trader Joe’s in the next town over so maybe there.

Even though we had an ice storm and schools had a 2 hr delay DD still had school as normal this morning. Thank goodness.
I keep thinking maybe my water broke but I think its just discharge. I remember from last time being sure it was my water because I hadn't had anything in my panties for weeks/months. That is NOT the case this time! LOL.

Still very pregnant here, this Saturday will be equal to DD’s gestational age (and my longer pregnancy of the first two) and next Wednesday is due date so I’m sore and slow and uncomfortable but tryyying at least until Saturday to wait to feel super impatient lol. If I keep telling myself that I will feel better right lol?!
DS has hockey this afternoon but morning is free so we are just chillin, getting back into the routine of H being back at work (for now anyway haha, until he takes a little leave again with the baby)

I also need to pack a hospital bag today 😬😬 I actually have things I absolutely need to remember to bring this time (I am participating in a vaccine clinical trial and need to bring blood collection kits for delivery) and I am so, so paranoid I am going to forget them. I was planning on packing once labor started but all my friends have me freaked out that this one will go super fast so I guess better safe than sorry!

Morning! DD is on her way to feeling better from the nasty flu!! She hasn't had a fever since mid-day yesterday. Her energy level and appetite are definitely coming back!!! We kept her home from daycare/school today and the plan is for her to go back tomorrow.
I am with her this morning while DH works and we will switch this afternoon.

Waiting at my last OB appointment ever!!! Ahhhhh!!! Induction Friday. I can’t believe I’m at the end. My plan is to never be pregnant again. So flipping strange. I’m a touch sad but also really really really excited to complete our family and enter a new stage of life.

I'm trying to be patient until Thursday (prenatal massage and growth scan). After that I'm ready to give Faith an eviction notice. I need the growth scan to make sure she will fit in her coming home outfit so I can wash it, then we will be ready.

Just got back from a walk with the pup! It’s 65 today so perfect weather & im anxious to get this baby out. Chewy is pumped about it bc I don’t walk him often enough :/ when I was pregnant w DD we walked almost every day together the last few weeks so I’m going to try be more consistent & try at least go on the days DD is at school in the morning. Anyway we walked a little over a mile & it took us a half hour lol. His short little legs get tired and by the end I was practically dragging him home 😂 here he is wiped out on his bed: Got my shower & now I’m waiting for DD to get dropped off here in a few minutes. Lunch & then nap for her & The Bachelor for me!! ❤️❤️ (Also I realize this was so “dear diary” of me but this is my life waiting for a baby lol)

I have a girlfriend due 5 days before me and she asked me today how many outfits I'm bringing to the hospital. I had only planned the going home outfit and then having him wear whatever the hospital gave him. Are you guys putting your babes in actual clothes? I put zero thought into this with DD.

We brought a pair of pajamas for DD. I’m doing the same for this one just bc @ the hospital they only gave us a onesie & we like our house cold.

Another snow day here for us. Or rather, an ice day. DH even said it was bad and he usually "has fun" driving around in what I call bad weather conditions!
I kept E home from day care since I am feeling better. Yay!
I started clearing out some stuff from the nursery so it is ready for the painters on Friday. (I'll let DH do the heavy stuff of course.) And I ordered a couple of things for decorations: some photo prints to frame and a pom pom garland (inspired by a thread over on GD)! We also went to visit my sis and her boys for a bit this morning and to the library. Now, some chill time. I want to take E outside to play but it is so wet! Maybe later with rain boots.
We have 3 more days at the day care center before DS goes back to his in-home provider. I'm hoping we can avoid another sickness until then....I feel like we are all on the tail end of one.

I brought 2 outfits just to have choices. One pj's and a pant/shirt outfit. We definitely didn't change his clothes there much because of his clavicle fracture

I put zero thought into this with DD. the only outfit I’m packing is her coming home outfit. I packed a bunch of outfits for Dd to wear last time, and she only wore the hospital kimono tops and their swaddle blankets. So that’s what I plan for this one too

We'll bring one to come home in. We have a few little newborn outfits with hearts on them (hand-me-downs!) so I'm thinking maybe one of those since it should be close to Valentine's Day! Is your friend a FTM? Maybe she doesn't realize they provide clothes there for the baby?

After 3 scans that were low, my fluid is now measuring in the normal range. So no induction for now. They will measure it again next week. I’m just hoping I don’t go past my due date!

Appointment went well, DS was amazing. He was so well behaved and polite! Saying hi bye and thank you to everyone. Including other patients! 😂 They all love him. He loves hearing LO’s heartbeat. 😍 Even though I love been having contractions and was even having them all morning my cervix is still completely closed. My body can’t go into labor but can get pregnant so that’s all that matters! I can’t believe we’re going to have a baby in less than 48 hours!!
