I know it's barely Thursday for our west coast mommas but here I am. I really hate middle of the night pumps when DS2 isn't up too. DS1 was up so consistently MOTN so I never set an alarm. I now wake to an alarm. I cannot wait until my supply is established enough that I can drop these.

The weather is going to be crap this morning so I need to make it until tomorrow. Hopefully they have the roads cleared up by tomorrow. It’s only 3:30 here but I can’t sleep. Pondering dumb things like how to find matching Valentine’s pajamas that span four sizes. Lol. Matching holiday jammies are my thing, but it is getting increasingly more difficult!!

I am up. I have been up since 2:30. How is it that I have a newborn that only wakes up twice in a night and yet I still don’t get sleep?!!! Insomnia blows.

I'm ready for this baby. Well I would like to make it to DDs parent teacher conference tomorrow morning and then I'm going to be really ready. Tomorrow would be a great day to have a baby.
Today is the day my water broke with DD. 38 and 4. She was born tomorrow at 38 and 5. So I'll soon be the most pregnant I've ever been.
I have a midwife appt today and I'm thinking about going to Aldi and doing some crock pot freezer meals but not sure I can get it together. My list of things to do before baby is really dwindling at this point!

Good luck hiimjamie! DD1 hit a growth spurt. She’s been super fussy since yesterday afternoon and has been eating every 2 hours instead of 3. I just hope she stays asleep for her photo shoot this afternoon.

It’s supposed to be well over freezing and rain all day here. I’ll take it instead of the deep freeze we’ve been having since Christmas.
No insomnia last night! Was able to go right back to sleep after my 3am bathroom break. Already feeling better than I have all week.

School is closed because of freezing rain. DH left for work early so it’s just me and the girls today. Maybe we’ll do some baking. And watch way too much tv just so they don’t destroy the clean house I had put together! Lol.

These newborn pics are making me impatient. But we have so much to get done before baby and I’m only 35 weeks, so I need to chill 😛
DH’s parents sold us a car this summer that has turned out to be a total lemon. One problem after another. It finally completely died a couple weeks ago. DH’s parents feel bad and let us know they would definitely be helping us out to replace it. I figured they meant they would pay us back what we paid for the original car. Nope, DH talked to his dad last night and they want to straight up buy us a nice used car. It feels like a lot to accept from them, but with a new baby on the way a car payment was going to be tough to take on. (And they can afford it, though that’s besides the point). Whew.

Im still so congested 😩 I had a breakdown last night when I got home from the hospital over not being able to breath. I have the baby squishing all my insides and now I can’t breathe out of my nose. This is mean.
In other news, MIL is taking N for the day. And MH is off work today so we might go see a movie together

I just hope she stays asleep for her photo shoot this afternoon. I went through this two days ago with my little man. He was eating 2ozs every 2-3 hours and then suddenly he was looking to eat every 1 1/2 hours. 😮 We increased him to three ounces and he is now back to every 3 hours. I also think he is only going to be in newborn clothes for another week or two.

snowyowl That’s so generous of them! Having parents that just want to look out for their kids is really great.

I thought my water broke last night around 2:30 but it wasn’t very much just a little. I waited to see if more would come or contractions would start & neeewwwppp. I think it was just some extra discharge coming out bc it didn’t smell like fluid is supposed to smell either. UGH. I did have some contractions last night but nothing to write home about.
DD is at school today so I have about 3.5 hours to myself! It’s super foggy outside (“soggy” as DD said this morning haha) so I might walk the dog a bit & then relax until I go pick her up.

I'm hoping these babies come soon-ish. My boobs are rock hard and really sore. I hope my supply regulates soon. Other than that swim lessons for DS1 this afternoon My dad is still here to help so he can get him ready while I chill with baby.

Both kids and H are still sleeping at close to 9! I'd still be in bed but I was already an hour late for pumping. I couldn't get lucky enough to actually shower, could I???

Hi all, happy Thursday!
I think we might have a name for baby girl. But we are going to wait until she is born to share with ANYONE so as not to jinx it. We're still not 100% sure.

I’m just going to AW my dog all week bc he loves all the walking we’ve been doing: HE’S SO HAPPY ❤️ Anyway, just got back from a half hour walk (we can do our whole neighborhood in about that long). Gonna shower & straighten up the house before I pick up DD. We have to go by the pharmacy too bc I need some cream for my heels. They are SO dry & cracked it’s disgusting.

Add me to the "needs a pedicure" club. Ugh. I plan on making a day of pampering next week or the week after but it looks like the day I can do it is also a day I'm supposed to give a final at school so I will need to figure something out.

Shew, I have already been standing too much today while teaching so I'm having lotsa contractions. In about an hour, I'm going to help interview a woman that might be a long-term sub for me...not sure that she is a great candidate based on what I know but I guess someone is better than no one?! We'll see how it goes.
