I'm blocking out that feeding schedule. Only way to stay sane.

itsmemeg - what app are you using to track feeding? I need to get one of those for when it's time. It’s called MammaBaby. I love it- used it with DS. You can track diapers, sleep, eating and growth stats

Today was my last day at work! I had quite a few contractions today, but nothing close together or too painful. Hoping this guy holds off for a few days so that I can have a bit of a break, but I would definitely like him to come by my due date next Friday!

My aunt just sent me $350 for a baby gift! My completion discount becomes eligible on Monday so I'll use it then to get some stuff from my registry.

I forgot how sleepy breastfeeding makes you. I can barely keep my eyes open when I’m nursing. So much oxytocin

It's going to be beautiful here today and we have some plans with friends.
I am feeling stressed with all the toys my two kids have so am going to purge like crazy somehow. I read a study where they found that toddlers are better off with less toys or at least they play better. These poor kids are about to have their playroom decimated.

The class was super cute! There was a 6ish year old who, when they were watching a video about babies and the narrator asked what babies eat, said loudly "pregnancy milk!" lol. ajm There was a dad there with his LO whose baby brother was already born early. Annnnnd now I've been to the hospital where I'll be delivering and have seen the L&D floor and all that and checked out the parking situation. Good to go.

It's 63* here and glorious! I know that's not SUPER warm, but I sweated my butt off all day at work, and H sweated his butt off helping our friends move some stuff, so it's perfect. I have our back window and front door open and I'm getting the most wonderful cross breeze while I'm cooking potato salad and sausages for supper =)

Our hospital did not have flu restrictions in the main area, but NICU still does for another week or so. We were there briefly for some testing and big brother couldn’t visit during that time. Thankfully she passed and wasn’t admitted or he would have been pissed. He’s in love with her.

getzystark, how are you and LO doing? jaidit, hope you're doing well! I have 2 days left of work this week and because my unit's so slow, I think I'm going to get to work in either the NICU or postpartum so at least I'm near where I need to be if I do go into labor. It’s slow going. I haven’t been on because seeing other babies born without complications and/or seeing other babies leave the NICU is really hard. We are in the feeder/grower stage which is great progress but this is the part that is frustratingly slow. He latched for 0-10 minutes depending on his fatigue and tires out pretty quickly with bottles too so we’re in for the long haul.

I’ll be thinking good thoughts for you guys and hoping he gets strong fast.

Feels like kiddo turned sunny side up, ughh was hoping to avoid that this time. Maybe I can get him to spin around again.
Traded off babysitting with SIL and BIL today. We took all the kids so they could see a morning show of Avengers, then they took all the kids so DH and I could see an afternoon Avengers.

Mine is spinning around all day long. The midwife was amazed that he has that much space to move. DNW another sunny side up birth.

My mom is taking V tomorrow so that we can accomplish some stuff on our to do list on one of our (hopefully) last few days before the baby comes. I mentioned to H that we could try to fit in Avengers at some point too. We haven't been to the movie theater in forever, it's one of the few movies we agree on, and I have a craving for the theater popcorn!

We're going to see Infinity War tomorrow at noon. We already bought our tickets for the fancy theater with leather recliners. No way am I going to the old theater style chairs this pregnant. It's across the street from the fancy candy shop where you can mix and match a bag of whatever you want so we'll go there first.
Today I got my hair done and mani/pedi.
Those are all the things I had left on my "want to do before baby" list so...anytime after say 3pm tomorrow he can show up and I'll be ok with it. I'm so, so uncomfortable.

This is my last work weekend before leave, and it's taking everything out of me so we're going to go see Avengers next weekend instead. No spoilers please!
