robinanne I totally get it. I nursed DD until she was almost 4. I only stopped after my milk dried up in the hospital after our loss last year. She still asked to try a couple of times after but she seemed to forget how very quickly. I was working full time anyways so she was really only nursing once when I got home and once before bed. And even though I hadn't planned on nursing that long I was still sad when I knew we were done. Sometimes it’s just so nice to sit with a cuddly kid and have them relax against you like that. 💜

It is a good day at the hospital on the floor I'm on today :-) breakfast pizza, donuts, and homemade Chex mix!

I'm semi stressing over the amount of crap I have to get done in the 24 and 48 hours.
I'm hosting FIL & wife, BIL & family tomorrow night for Christmas, immediately after work. Like I'll have an hour to get home and get food started/finished. They better not plan on eating immediately upon arrival, it just won't happen. I'm doing Chicken and Steak Alfredo with sautéed veggies and a bag of side salad. I'm going to run home on my lunch tomorrow and prep the veggie and meat so I should just have to do the actual cooking.
Saturday we have brunch with the neighbors, I have to do all my holiday baking (except one batch of cookies I'll do tonight), and then I'm hosting MIL & husband, BIL & family (same BIL as Friday night). I will be pushing it to get everything done on time. As for food, I'm doing Chili and Potato Soup with the fixings that go with them. I'll start the chili tonight and then it will just be crockpot time on Saturday. I will have to cut the potatoes for the soup Saturday morning but that shouldn't be bad.
I'm stressing over the state of my house. It is a disaster zone from me not feeling like taking care of anything for the last month. I have to fold laundry, sweep, mop, vacuum, dust, do dishes and bathe my kids tonight. Hopefully I can get it all done before I start feeling like crap again.

Sorry blackcat . Only do what you can do. I have come to realize over the years that we care more about things being perfect than the people that we host. Don't over do it and try to enjoy yourself! beenthere I started calling my doctor yesterday for my panorama results. No one called me back but you can bet I'll be calling again today...and again Monday if I don't hear anything today. I'm mostly worried about the genetic results but finding out the sex is definitely an added bonus:) I would love to have the patience to be teem green but I just don't:/

They STILL haven't received my NIPT results. Grrr. Luckily the doctor's office is open on Monday. The nurse said they would call once the results came in. So obviously I'm going to call again on Monday.

I'm having some weird cramping and yellow discharge. I'm trying to decide if it's concerning or if it's the UTI I have.

35 more minutes of work and then I’m off until Wednesday! 🎉🎉
XH has DS for Christmas this year so our holiday will be laid back. We are going to TX to celebrate with my family over the New Years weekend/holiday when I have DS.

beenthere it sounds like it's probably the UTI but I would maybe check in with your doctor just in case if it continues. Better to see someone on Monday than have to wait until Wednesday.

I'm cramping pretty bad. If it wasn't my son's birthday I might go in and get checked out just for peace of mind but at this point I think I'll wait unless I start bleeding. :/

Have you had any GI problems? Just when I start to get worried about my cramping it usually ends up being that 🤣

TW****
I had a ton of bright red bleeding with clots and what felt like labour pains this afternoon. Today is our Christmas eve and I really dont feel like sitting in a germ filled emerge so I'm not bothering to get checked out. I'll call the clinic tomorrow and have them order bloodwork, but I'm about 99.9% certain it was a miscarriage. I hate giving them this news right at Christmas, but I guess better they know now than getting past Christmas and telling people and then finding out about it. I feel so badly that this was our third try and I still can't stay pregnant when I never had any problems getting/staying pregnant with my own. We have one try left and I'm nervous it won't work and they will be childless forever because of me. I know it's not my fault, but it's hard to not think that way right now Anyways, wishing you all a wonderful holiday and a healthy uneventful rest of your pregnancy.

Oh no wineandcake I'm so so sorry! The fact that you are willing to do this for them at all is just so incredibly amazing and selfless. You are giving them a chance at something that wouldn't exist without you. Regardless of the final outcome know that you are wonderful and the world could do with more people like you ❤

My sister had her baby early this morning - baby boy who's bigger than DD was at birth and has way more hair than she did.

That “chugged a bottle of NyQuil” feeling has kicked in for me. I’ve been napping every day. I don’t know what I’ll do when I go back to work.

My sleep goals are the only ones being met on my Fitbit. I wake up tired every morning and struggle to stay awake at my desk all day.
