My dog is really up my ass all day. She's been following me way more than usual and it's really giving me anxiety at this point. She did this with my DD but she wasn't this far up my ass... I'm 35w on Wednesday so it's still too early for her to show up. Ugh! One of my dogs has been doing this for weeks. It’s driving me crazy 🙄

Yay easternshoregirl! I updated the curtains in our nursery and it made a difference in lightening the room right away. I think I've lost the "please paint" battle, but we have paint in the crawlspace and I go on maternity leave in a few weeks so I might just do it myself... Except all the furniture is mounted to the walls. Fawwwwk.

sunfrogger all our furniture is mounted to the walls too. Which is great for safety reasons, real annoying when I get the urge to redecorate.

DD1 is very adamant that this baby will have red hair and blue eyes like she does. I don't know how to break it to her that the odds of that are not great 😂 (neither DH nor I have red hair, it is somewhere on DH's family's side).

Uhh, I had an idea they were coming sometime, but didn't know when, and definitely would have recommended pushing the visit back a weekend. Oh well! I think all but my mom are staying in a hotel at least. My mom has also talked to me about how baptizing this yet unborn child a week from today would be most ideal since everyone will be in town 😂 lolol at having my shit together enough to do that.

Today's cleaning session didn't exactly go as planned... No energy combined with a church meeting I had forgotten about.
I got the living room cleaned and decluttered and I'm hoping we can get the pack n play set up this evening. I *might* go ahead and vacuum and dust the formal living room and dining room since it won't take that long since those rooms aren't used and no decluttering or cleaning is really needed. All of our clutter has moved to the kitchen counters where I've been putting things there that need to be put away. I'l tackle that tomorrow.
I did make some lasagna for dinner (made it yesterday) and made 2 extra 9x9 pans to put in the freezer, I'm now up to 28 freezer meals stocked up. There isn't a lot of variety (lots of burritos/taco and pasta dishes) but they just need to be put in the oven or crock pot.
Someone at church today told me that "wow, she has dropped" but I don't feel that different... I kinda think there is more room between my boobs and bump, but nothing that dramatic and I'm not in any more/less discomfort so who knows. I hope she has so that she can put pressure on my cervix to get things started.

Yesss amesie I hope this is it for you!!! What if our babies shared a birthday??? 😍😍 I would love that!! But based off how this hasn’t changed all dayyyyy I’m not counting on it. Still about 10ish min apart and very uncomfortable but not super painful. I stopped timing them since it was driving me batty.

sunfrogger both my dogs have been this way for weeks. I keep tripping over them. Our cat sleeps in bed with us for most of the night and for the last week or so she has been getting up and following me to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I actually tripped over her once because I didn't realize she was already in the water closet. Luckily I caught myself on the wall and didn't fall. She has also taken to spending a TON of time on my lap, next to me, on my bump, on my body pillow right next to me, etc. She is normally a cuddly cat but this is way more time than she usually spends attached to me.

aprilz81 I hear the "you've dropped" a lot. I find it varies. Also to have that energy! I think I expended all of my energy yesterday cleaning and organizing upstairs. I really should have started downstairs where this is more to do, but I wanted the "immediate gratification" of moving quickly from room to room. Everything I've done needed to be done but I probably have my priorities messed up a bit...

Of course the first night at home, the first time I’ve gone to sleep, I wake up to her spitting up orange all over. WTH. I want my hospital nurse back. Also I’ve never had a baby that doesn’t spit up all the time. Whyyyyy.

Also I’ve never had a baby that doesn’t spit up all the time. Whyyyyy. Orange??? I wonder what might cause that? I'm sure it's nothing to be concerned about but maybe call the hospital and ask to speak with an OB nurse? Since you were just discharged I'm sure they'd answer your question

jessijean sweetsurprise DH didn’t seem too concerned. He doesn’t really do babies (family practice, but no OB, just well checks) but if it happens too much more I’ll definiteky call. DH thought it was just because my milk is coming in/switching over. She just woke me up spitting up more. Maybe it looks more yellow than orange?

It does look yellow if not even orange sometimes.

pippiann it’s entirely possible. My milk is definitely coming in, could be the last bits of colostrum mixed with the start of milk. She hasn’t spit up in a couple of hours, I’ll reevaluate in the daylight. lol. I have to call to make our first appointment anyway so I can always ask them if it seems really weird.

WHYYYY does my body hate me??? I’m pretty sure this baby is never coming out. The contractions kept me up last night until about midnight and I eventually drifted off to sleep. I’m assuming they stopped since I slept pretty soundly. They’ve started back up again now that I’m awake and moving around. And I think they’re more uncomfortable than yesterday. WTF BODY. Just be rid of this baby already!!!

My SIL group texts me, MH, and MIL every couple days asking if there’s any baby news 😑 Ready. To. Flip. Luckily MIL responded with “don’t worry, we’ll tell you if there’s any news”... thank you MIL because I was really about to respond with some sarcastic remark. I’m grumpy AF about this and the constant check ins arent helping!!!!
