Randoms (4/14)

We went toy grandparents this weekend to celebrate ds bday (which is Friday) I also figured it would be our last time to come down before baby. They are only 2 hrs from us.
We’ll head home tomorrow though - I got lots of stuff for baby from my family this weekend so I’ll work on putting it all away when we get home.

I’m so ready for baby to come! I just so uncomfortable. Eek

[ajm]

I have baby's bag packed and need to pack mine. Then those will go in the car so I'm ready just on case. I'm going to have DH get the infant car seat installed in my car tomorrow, too.

[ajm]

I'm also so tired today. I woke up early to a thunderstorm and then couldn't go back to sleep. And of course, DD didn't nap today, so I wasn't able to either. I think I might go upstairs to watch TV and fall asleep in bed.

I'm writing thank you notes from my sprinkle last weekend. This is something I usually don't mind but it feels much more like a chore right now.

I drank two small cans of pineapple juice over a ton of ice and this baby hasn't stopped moving since. I think this is the most active she's been ever.

We had our newborn and breastfeeding 101 class this morning. Lucky to get it in and home before being buried by a blizzard. We’ve gotten a foot of snow so far, with another 5-8 inches coming still.

We’ve gotten over a foot of snow so far this weekend and it’s supposed to snow all day today into tomorrow 😬. Yesterday we did our hospital tour- not super applicable since it’s for sure a c-section, but I wanted to know where to go if I go into labor before my scheduled date. Baby’s dresser cane on Friday so the snow at least has given me lots of time to put things away and start to organize his room. We’re pretty much hibernating otherwise.

We must be neighbors. 😜

numbears How is your flooding today? Thinking of you guys.

All of you with the snow, whew! I have family in the midwest and keep seeing pics of their snow. May you all have quiet, cozy days at home!

fatpony where are you? I live in MN (twin cities). 😊

I feel like I can finally keep up with posting now (tax season is just about over!).

Yesterday was a nice lazy day for DD and me. I was up at 5 and couldn’t fall back asleep. This kid kept kicking my bladder and I swear I was up 5 times from 5-6 going to the bathroom. I’ll be OK if I never have a night like that again.

We were getting ready for church this morning and I ended up an emotional wreck. DD has an accident (first in a LONG time) and I’ve been slack on laundry this week so I was scrambling trying to find her a clean pair of underwear and I just lost it. Was sitting on my bed in tears over laundry. I don’t think I cried once while pregnant with DD and I’ve cried twice in as many weeks.

[robot]

I'll be 34w on Thursday, which is when I stopped working out with DD and I'm starting to remember why. Pretty sure there's now a baby occupying the space that used to house my lungs.

STM + do you remember when your boobs started leaking? I’m 32 weeks today and I feel like at this point last pregnancy mine were already leaking. (Although we’re talking 4 years ago so who knows if I’m remembering correctly).

Mine have already this pregnancy, mostly when I'm sleeping. I think last time it was around 32-34 weeks.

Mine leaked a lot more last time. I'm a little over 37 weeks, and the right boob leaked once a few weeks ago. I had letdown-like tingling yesterday, but otherwise not much happening with the boobs this time.

ETA: of course now that I posted this, my left boob has been leaking for the past 20 minutes.

[budders]

I am so exhausted and sore. I was on my feet all day yesterday between my sister's shower and keeping up with V, and most of today with V at a children's museum and then grocery shopping and meal prepping. And there's still two hours until bedtime.

I'm really trying to hang in at work for the next two weeks, but I'll never make it at this pace. I really need to slow down, which is hard when I'm trying to maximize what I can get done and spending quality time with V during these last few weeks before the baby arrives.

Toured the maternity ward today at the hospital I’ll be going to. It’s a different one from when I had DS. So much nicer. It’s newer and the rooms are huge compared to when I had DS. I also like that since I’m a RCS the moment I check in I will be in my same room except for survey. So pre op and recovery are done in my actual mother/baby room. Each room has a balcony too which is a nice touch, not that I’ll be using it but DH might.

Today was BRUTAL. I was so exhausted for no reason, and I had a headache on an off all day (BP was fine, just a headache). I came home and H wanted to go and finish getting the curtains for the house, so we quick ran to the store and then got them, and then he wanted me to help him to move some stuff around. I just couldn't at that point. I was sitting at my computer half asleep, so he told me to just go to bed. I just got up from a 2 hour nap long enough to have food and then I'm going back to bed. I can't even believe how tired I am right now.

Totally random, but I saw this on facebook- walmart.com has a deal where if you're a new customer you can get 25% off the big packs of Pampers up to $30. I just ordered a bunch of size 2s/3s swaddlers that came out to be ~$0.08/diaper less than Amazon (where we normally bought DDs). In case there are any other Pampers fans out there that can take advantage, figured I'd share!

[sammichcat]

kookie3631,
Mine haven't leaked for either pregnancy and haven't so far in this one. And my milk came in while I was at the hospital both times, if that's what you're worried about.

[robot]

I wanted to tour my hospital since it’s different than the one I went to with DD. But all the tours were booked when I looked a couple months ago so I just kind of shrugged. Oh well. My doula has been there a bunch and hopefully she’ll be with me. Also, I signed DD up for a big sister class that’s there so at least I will have driven there once, haha.

Is there a code or anything? I just briefly googled and didn't see anything.

Yes- walmartbaby was the promo code

kookie3631 sorry for the rough morning. My boobs never leaked last pregnancy. They haven’t this pregnancy either; I thought they might, since DS was still nursing until around 17 weeks (milk dried up around week 10) but nothing yet.
Milk came in fine last time around day 2-3.

numbears, I hope your house is okay!

[Speedy]

Anyone else keep clicking the 2019 heading by accident? Lol

[Pizzaslut]

Good morning! I am so over being pregnant. I had my 36 week appointment last week and had my first internal check. Baby is head down, cervix is soft but no dilation yet. Anytime after this weekend, and I'll be ready for her to be here!

[Deleted]

Also over being pregnant. My husband gets home really late tonight, so she can come anytime now.

I'm so damn relieved to have a parenting partner. And it sounds like he will be home until the end of May, which is so much better than when DS was born.

[tinyjoys]

I just had this week’s first NST.

First, she was straight lining again.
Then, she started giving the variability & peaks.
Then, she kept accelerating.

Oy. I don’t think my sanity can take 15 more days & 4 more NSTs.
