This morning started out with me crying because I spent 30 minutes trying to get dressed and find shoes that I could fit. After getting my compression stockings on (oh so cute), my leggings, and then trying several pairs of boots that would not fit over my swollen feet, I felt like I had just worked out and was a mess. Poor DH! I have a feeling the last few weeks are going to go by much more slowly than the rest of the pregnancy did....especially since there are so many cute new babies here to see!

I'm now the most pregnant I've ever been! DS1 was born in the early morning hours of 37+2 which I am today with this bub. And AW alert - we had DS1's last hyperbaric oxygen treatment today!!!!!! YAHOO!!!! So we are done until after his surgery in July. So so happy to have a little bit of "normal life" again - at least until baby comes lol.

Ugh baby boy didn’t want to cooperate for the Nst so they made me drink juice. Hopefully it doesn’t screw up my sugar too much. And apparently I had contractions and didn’t know it. I feel like contractions at 34 is too early so now I’m afraid he’s going to be early. The monitors will pick up braxton hicks contractions as well, I've been having those daily for weeks now and nothing much happening. Hang in there!

Thanks for the kind thoughts ladies. I was a little surprised when they didn’t call me back right away, turns out they wrote my number down wrong. So I finally called and found out they had left a message (on someone else’s answering machine) asking me to come in for an NST hours ago. I’m here now, and so far everything seems fine. Hopefully it won’t be my entire evening. The nurse said normally for a fall they monitor for four hours! But since it’s on the later side they will probably just keep an eye on it for “awhile”, whatever that means. I am so annoyed with myself. I had so much I was going to knock off my to do list while DH and I had a rare day off together. Instead I got exactly nothing done and I won’t be able to kneel on the floor with my toddler for weeks, judging from the state of my knees.

So our day together was nice even though it wasn't exactly as planned. We went to my fave hibachi and the fire alarms were going off so we drove all the way home and I was so hungry I was nauseous and in tears. Yeah. Lol.

pinkcat I like the snoo but so far it isn't quite a miracle worker. He seems to sleep just as well in the mamaroo (which I got for $60 at a consignment sale). I think it is partly because he has his days and nights mixed up. Sorry I didn't answer on Friday. I was in clogged duct hell No need to say sorry, I wasn't expecting an answer since I know you have your hands full with a new squish Thanks for the update- sorry to hear it's not working out as well as expected though! Hopefully it becomes the miracle worker we are hoping for! Last night he actually did better with it. A few times he was fussing and it went into soothing mode and he went to sleep so yay!

snowyowl that is very scary and hopefully you get some answers. Great news helloerrbody That stinks sunfroggerI had to WFH today, but it wasn’t too bad. I’m looking forward to my cervical length appointment Thursday. It will be 3 full weeks since my last one. This week I hit 34 weeks and I went into labor at 34w 3D with DD1 so my anxiety is really triggered right now.

pinkcat the struggle is real. I hate putting clothes on at this point! It was so much easier when I had a summer baby! Tank, stretchy skirt, flip flops.

Yeah I didn't mind the heat. We are in Maryland so it is def hot and humid but I prefer that to the cold anyway! Don't think I would want FL or TX heat though!

2yo is teething. Finally getting his last molars but sleep is so shitty in our house. Maybe he can pop them all through before baby sister arrives!
I thought our baby monitor was broken but now it seems to be working. We had stopped using it last summer . Hopefully it makes it through!

I like dressing for pregnancy in the winter - maternity leggings and giant sweaters or long-sleeve tunics/dresses. Leggings seem soooo much better for a big bump than shorts!

But I still wanted my Benihana 😩there's a hibachi around the corner from my house but I was disappointed last time we went there, so that was off the list. But we wasted a whole hour driving around. Ughh

At what point do I have to attempt non- maternity clothes? I'm assuming I have until at least my 6 week appointment before being judged. I tried on pre pregnancy jeans like an idiot this weekend and I'm at least 2 inches from being able to think about buttoning them.
