Am I being an overparanoid jerk if I don’t take DS to gym class anymore to avoid getting sick? He goes once a week on Wednesday’s so there’s only another few classes until I deliver. I don’t want him sick because it sucks, I could catch it (I had a cough when I delivered him and...it really sucked while recovering with stitches), or even baby once they arrive.

If he is old enough to be sad about missing it I would Probably still take him, but if not I wouldn't worry about it. I stopped taking DD#1 to swim because I just didn't feel like it and she asks why she doesn't go and I tell her it's because it's just not swim class season. |

He doesn’t get sad when we miss classes but has a lot of fun when he goes. It’s a lot harder the last few weeks with my belly too helping him on balance beams, chasing him etc. because it’s a parent a tot class, so that’d be an additional plus skipping. |

I’m in the waiting room at the OB, she’s running late. I have a TON of random things to do and errands today. And I’m actually feeling super motivated to do it so I hope I can make a dent in my “to do before baby” list that is a mile long. It’s a shared note with MH on our phones and I’m sure he’s getting 😳 about all the things I keep adding. Especially “clean house and KEEP IT CLEAN”. Haha he’s been so patient with me and helpful lately so I can’t complain.

My boss told me to stay home and rest today so I'm bumming it on the couch watching Grace and Frankie. I may start a load of the baby's clothes to pack for the hospital but I'm enjoying this bonus day off without DD or Mh around.

My dark circles have dark circles.
On the bright side I get to see my sister today. She is heading in from out of state to go dress shopping with us tomorrow. Today is also her birthday. I’m very excited to see her.
And also my mom is making a big dinner and my body is ready.

Trying to drink my red raspberry leaf tea, but my English breakfast is more delicious... Ya. Raspberry Leaf Tea is ok, but for nothing special after several cups a day for weeks. This morn I went with lemon ginger tea because I just about lost my voice. Started coughing on Wednesday and getting sicker since. Talked to midwife yesterday so I know what cough syrup etc I can take. I've eaten grapefruit every morn except maybe 5 this whole pregnancy up till this week I ran out. And two days later I start getting sick. 🤔 😷 I just hope I'm a little better by my shower tomorrow Eve. Today's agenda is sewing a dress for the shower, should be fun I haven't sewed in a while. |

babybean, I go to a similar class with Em. It's super not fun at this point but she loves it so I keep going. Could your H take him instead of you? One of the mom's in my class is due the same time as us and has been sending her H the whole time. I personally wouldn't skip it because of germs. Unfortunately you can pick up germs anywhere so it seems not worth it to me to skip something he enjoys.

I know I looked it up with my first pregnancy but I don't remember. What are the benefits of drinking the red raspberry tea?

I'm ordering DS's graduation announcements this weeekend. 😢 I'm not ready for this. As much as he makes me want to scream sometimes, I sure love him and I can't believe my sweet, little baby boy is all grown up and old enough to be graduating.
Guys, when they say it goes by fast. It really, really does!

Eating a bunch of chocolate peanut butter ice cream right before bed is a super bad idea when you're this pregnant. I slept for a few hours then woke up feeling like I was going to throw up ice cream everywhere. Then I did throw up and couldn't fall back to sleep. I finally fell asleep around 5, only to wake up at 6:30. Womp. And I'm really not even sure I can handle coming into the office until March. Every day now when I walk to/from the office I get these bad pains that I have to breathe through. It's not contractions just...not fun. This is part of the reason I decided to take my MFM up on getting me out at 36w. I'm already lumbering around like a wounded bear, going much later is just going to be bad. I hope you feel better soon, cornpop! |

I'm getting really sick of waking up in the middle of the night only to stay up for a few hours and not being able to get back to sleep. Insomnia is not a good look on me. |

Also, do we have a mod around or do I need to tag someone to pin our Announcements post? I don't want it go get lost.

I'm getting really sick of waking up in the middle of the night only to stay up for a few hours and not being able to get back to sleep. Insomnia is not a good look on me. I just got a pedometer/sleep tracker (not Fitbit)and wore it last night. I don’t know how accurate it is, but I knew I didn’t wake up much except when I couldn’t fall asleep MOTN. Ugh. And yes, I stayed up too late watching olympics. Whoops. Is this device just to further us with seeing our horrible sleep?!?  |

And the admin for them is Blanche. There’s a pin in the “about us” section with all of the different mods for different areas if you ever need too  |
