It is a snow day here but my kids went to daycare. DH is home sick and I think I am coming down with what he has, I was up with a runny nose all night 😭😭 I hope I am not destined to deliver this kid while I have a death cold like I did DD2. The only perk is that whenever I have respiratory symptoms because of my clinical trial I need to go in and get a swab done or blood drawn and I get paid $100, so there's that at least.

Good luck today, hiimjamie! I had an US yesterday to check size of baby. She is weighing in at approx 6 lb 3 oz. So a tiny little nugget. During the US, we caught her yawning which was adorable and then making the sourest (is that even a word?) face ever like she just ate a lemon. It was funny to see. I am now over being pregnant (36w3d today). My body is aching and it hurts to sit at my desk at work. I was out the last 2 days because I really needed to get some rest between not sleeping and having a cold. I felt rested and then BAM! I was up from 1:30-3:30 this morning and could not fall back asleep. So yeah, I’m over today.

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. We must live near each other. It’s supposed to be 53 today and it feels like Spring out! I may have driven to work with my windows slightly down to get some fresh air. It was so nice!

I rearranged some of G’s toys and put her animal figures in plastic bins. I do not want animals all over my house. Hopefully this works. Right now I am cuddling the baby while G plays with her toys. MH went to get us some lunch. Later on today we are getting a grocery delivery. I don’t have the energy to go to the store yet especially since I have been up since 2:30. I am so happy to have an outside baby and I can’t wait for the rest of you to have your babies.

dragonflyinn my heels are nasty right now too. I hate what winter does to my skin. It’s awful bc it’s not even cold here— it’s just the buildup of wearing flip flops 24-7. They are so gross 😭

Congrats hiimjamie, he is adorable! I hope your recovery is fast! I had a massage this morning and it was really nice but I could have used some more kinks worked out, but I still feel better. She even hit some pressure points above my ankles (at my request) to see if she can jump start labor for me. She also showed me a few more reflexology points that might help. I'm leaving in a few for a doctor's appointment, NST and ultrasound. I'm excited to get another peek at Faith!

I may have driven to work with my windows slightly down to get some fresh air. It was so nice! I’ve had the windows open at work today because it’s in the mid 70s with the ovens on. It’s currently 46 outside but is supposed to rain 10-15mL today. Probably not super close to you though because I had to convert my temperature from Celsius lol. Southwestern Ontario here

I'm sitting in the NICU snuggling DD until her next feed in 40 mins. She has been taking her bottles well, and we should be able to feed her based on her cues by the weekend She is now 2175g (4lbs12.7oz) and 40.5 cm long (16"), with a 32cm head.

And while we are supposed to get snow tomorrow night I'm really excited that today it is 55 and I can fit my swollen feet into flip flops without being too cold.

I stopped at the grocery store over an early lunch break - the clerk said to me: “woaaaahhhh .... are you due today?”
Hmmmmm. I’ve had so many people comment on my belly this pregnancy versus my belly with my daughter’s pregnancy four years ago

I had a midwife appt this morning. I declined the cervical check because ouch. Then I went to Aldi to get food to prep for freezer meals. I can't believe how much cheaper that is than the regular store. Its a little far to do my regular shopping but I love it for occassional shopping.
I got DD down for her nap and my plan is to prep meals, do a 30 min yoga session and take a shower and blow dry my hair. Its a bit of a stretch so wish me luck!

I got a call from DC that DD had a 100 fever... So we're home with her and she's boycotting a nap. So much for getting work done.

I must be getting closer to delivery bc tiffrobot and hiimjamie s birth pix are making me emotional and I sent my Nanny to Target with a 4 page apocalypse list. Apparently I think I need 4 of everything. I put pads on my list. Completely forgot I’ll need pads. Anyone else feel like shit it getting real??

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. I have one scheduled for next week! Much excite!!
I had asked my H if he wanted to at least paint my toenails since I have a hard time reaching them. He said, you might as well let Elliot (the toddler) do it, because it would probably look the same. Alright, pedicure it is!

In anticipation of baby day I was rereading my birth stories on my blog. This post was close to DD2’s. I can remember that day so vividly. And yet it is such a distant memory. Mama’s who feel like you’re drowning, I swear it gets better. It just does. thedomesticwannabe.blogspot.com/2013/03/safe-and-sound.html?m=0Don’t feel obligated to read, It’s just a post I come back to when I’m having a really tough time.

I have been incredibly crampy today and having lots of contractions. Nothing timable or consistent though. I’m sick of this guessing game 🙄

NST looked great, ultrasound looked good except Faith is fat. lol They estimate her weight at 8 pounds 7 ounces already (37w 1d) and measurements put her at 39 weeks. Her head is measuring 40 weeks. Ouch. I was supposed to see my doctor today but she was called out for emergency surgery.
I asked the nurse to make sure my doctor reviews the ultrasound images and measurements because I'm 100% onboard with inducing as soon as I hit 38 weeks (Wednesday). I don't want to have a 10 pound baby who can't control her blood sugar!!!! I don't think they can induce before 38 weeks unless the baby is 10 pounds or there is another emergency type situation so I doubt they would induce before Wednesday.
So we will be spending this weekend making sure the house is clean and all the last minute stuff is ready for house guests and bringing home a baby!
