I decided yesterday that I probably should start painting the nursery. The previous owners did a really crappy job painting. They painted all the windows shut and all the electrical covers. I ended up only getting half of one wall painted after trying to fix all of the poor patch jobs and mistakes. I'm hoping I can try to paint a little more today after DH gets home.

I was going to say that the full moon was last night. Bummer that it didn't work for any of us. My husband asked if there were any babies born at the hospital yesterday when I had my NST and they said they didn't have any there either. They probably will have 20 people there when I call about going in for my induction Sunday evening. The children at school have been riled up, which often happens during full moons.
I had all the feelings yesterday finding out how crappy the short term disability is through my work. I really should have elected to take it on the 8th day instead of the 29th day. I was really hoping to take the rest of the school year off, but now it looks like I will need to go back to work for the last 15 days or so (1 full week and 3 short weeks). Also, I still will be taking 13 or so unpaid days to get me to that point in the school year. I still get about 5 months off with this little one between Monday or whatever day it arrives and the start of next school year, so I can't complain too much.
I have gotten through most of the laundry for this baby. I sterilized bottles. We have some diapers. So I just need to pack some bags, and I guess I am good to go for my induction.

Yeah I knew it was a full moon because when I was in labor and delivery yesterday my nurse said that they were full in triage. She said the last full moon they had so many women show up and all of their waters had broken. I need to look up when the next full moon is.

Damn not until March 31st. Do not want to wait that long. This just confirms my theory that I'm going to have an April Fool's/Easter baby. DNW to still be pregnant that long!!

Ya now that I realize it was full moon I'm surprised my cramps didn't turn into real labor last night. I was praying not though! And I slept well and woke up to everything covered in beautiful snow. I'm not even mad cause I can stay inside and drink tea. And it looks gorgeous and I can live in denial for a while longer that its actually March!
Last night we went to Babies R Us and target and bought everything we needed of the registries and used a bunch of coupons and gift cards and saved $ 👍. But of course I forgot to use the completion discount at target. This morn we realized we need to go back and get a second car seat base though so I'll use it on that I guess. We also ordered several hundred dollars off of our Amazon registry this morn. When it all comes I will feel a lot more ready.
I'm thinking today I'll make the rest of my cupcakes and get hospital bags mostly packed since I finally have a lot of the stuff.

My sister was here yesterday and spent the night. Her and I aren't really super close but we're making an effort I guess. There is a lot of history. It was not quite as terrible as it could have been. But I was glad when she left at 1000. Baby is asleep in my lap and we're just kind of chilling at the moment. DH and I are thinking about going to babies r us later to spend some gift cards and we also need to go pick up a birth certificate so we can get E added to his insurance.

I was trying not to tell everyone in my life that I am going to be induced Sunday night, so of course everyone at work is asking me how much longer I have. I have been trying to avoid answering them by just saying today is my last day of work, but it doesn't always work.

Has anyone watching the Momsplaining videos with Kristen Bell? The first one had me crying. The rest are funny.

Not to sound like a broken record, but I'm a walking zombie today. I'm so tired of the carpal tunnel pain. Sorry to keep complaining about the same thing over and over. It truly is awful and so painful in the MOTN especially. I'm ready to beg my OB to move up my RCS date so I can get some relief sooner than 33 days from now.
On a more positive note, DH came home last night with a peanut buster parfait from DQ. It was a nice surprise and what a yummy treat. Probably not good for the weight gain, but screw it. I enjoyed it way too much.

At first it was just occasional but it's been the last 4-5 nights in a row and bad enough to wake me up. What are you doing to manage it?

Last night/this morning being the worst pain I've felt so far. I've been doing the stretches my doc recommended, wearing wrist braces specifically for CT ($50 later 😬) at night and as much as possible during the day, use ice packs as often as possible on my wrists, taking Tramadol for pain as prescribed, and praying (begging) for the pain to just go away. Nothing seems to be working and I'm frustrated that nothing else can be done. I've been up since just after 2 a.m. (again). For me, the pain seems to peak between 2-5 a.m. every night/morning. I'm so sorry you're dealing with it too. 😕

We are in the middle of a crazy storm. I just managed to pick DS up from school and get home, trees down everywhere. The basement is taking on water quickly and even though our sump is working, it gets stuck when the water rises fast, so Im running up and down the stairs every so often to check on it. Our downstairs windows are leaking due to the high winds blowing rain. Still have power (fingers crossed).
AND DH hasn't answered his texts in nearly two hours (I've been asking him to come home and deal with all this).
And. Probably due to the cervical check this morning but I have a lot of pink discharge and cramping. So of course I'm on edge.

I'm sorry calendula. I hope your H gets home soon. I remember having pink discharge after checks last pregnancy. I have been having some cramps or some kind of pain in m stomach/back and keep hoping it's something, but really I think I just have to poo. Why is pregnancy so glamorous??

The full moon, and it being March, finally had me scrambling to buy my postpartum supplies. I'll have to order a couple things off Amazon that Target didn't have, but otherwise I'm set. I can't for the life of me remember which things my hospital supplies besides the peri bottle, so we'll see what I end up having to take back.
DS is insanely low energy today, I'm worried. He just wants to lay on me or just flops down on the floor. No other symptoms other than a low appetite. Hopefully he's just fighting a bug off, poor guy.

cornpop - im weird about feet too but have trouble reaching them right now to trim my nails. I went for a pedi at the end of January (35ish weeks) and it has held up really well and hasn’t chipped or anything. Toenails grow slower than fingernails too so that helps.

I cannot figure out this baby. Yesterday he was cluster feeding pretty much nonstop. Today he’s sleeping nonstop and I can hardly wake him up to eat and he falls asleep after like 5 min nursing. I’m wondering what tomorrow is going to bring for newborn pics. I can’t decide if it would be better for him to be sleeping or awake. Not that I have much control over that anyway.
I think we finally have the nursery the way we want it though! I’ll have to post some pics on the nursery thread tomorrow.
I’m super excited for more MA18 babies! I’m sorry some of you are really feeling the end of pg symptoms. I hope your babies come soon and you get some relief! Although the pp discomfort is definitely just as fun and glamorous.
