G HATES diaper changes. Good grief, he just screams. I think it’s the cold wipes, so I may end up going against my no wipes warmer policy and grab one.

Aww poor little guy. I've got the same wipe warmer policy.
So nervous for today, I feel nauseous. I took the day off work to volunteer, but now I just want to sleep until tomorrow.

i have a wipe warmer that i got at my shower for dd1 and have never used it...glad i held onto it just in case. hopefully he’ll get used to it soon katespade! i hope you’re recovery is going smoothly. i finally packed a bag and got dd1 into her big bed so we could move the crib into baby’s room. so a few steps closer to being ready. i’m on flu shot duty with the girls today and hoping it’s not a complete gong show. i am also feeling anxious about today and i know it sounds bad but i don’t plan on following election coverage very closely today. i sent my ballot in weeks ago and it was tracked and will be counted. i’m just sad i didn’t get an i voted sticker.

Aww! Poor G! We never had a wipes warmer either but if it keeps a baby from screaming then I’d probably buy one.

I’m not planning on following too closely either. It’s been a lot the last few months already. The outcome won’t change if we refresh our phones every few seconds. At least that’s what I’m telling myself so I don’t feel bad about it.

I have an in person appt today. I get the whole Covid thing has changed policies but I want to know who thought it would be a good idea to have all the pregnants waiting in their cars until they’re ready for us. Don’t they know we always have to pee?! Especially because I live far away and left 1hr15min ago so I super have to pee.
Anyway, GBS swab today and a quick ultrasound to check baby’s position. I’m sure it’s head down so I’ll be surprised if baby is breech today.

Oh, katespade. I'm so sorry. Huge hugs coming your way. Will he have follow ups with your pediatrician or specialists?

The more I read (which she told me not to do) the more serious it does appear and I’m just scared because he will probably need surgery someday- whether as a young person or an adult, it still makes me sad.

i had my 38 wk appt along with ultrasound yesterday. of course baby wouldn’t breathe so i ended up having to do a non stress test. he wouldn’t do what he was supposed to do there either but i got some juice and crackers and he was fine😅. dr gave me choice of induction because of high fluids so i’ll be going in monday night to have this baby unless he decides to come before then! still doesn’t feel real even though i feel like i’ve been pregnant for 100 yrs. we are supposed to have nice weather through the weekend so we will finish cleaning up leaves in the yard before temps dip back into 30s on tuesday. i also need to figure out the take out situation tonight and get toy room organized before monday. what’s everyone else up to this weekend? katespade how are things going at home?

We are doing okay! Thursday night was a long one- he was up every hour from 11pm-5am wanting to nurse- but he gained 3oz overnight (we had to go in yesterday for a weight check). Last night he slept 4 hours straight! It was glorious (although I woke up a bit in pain because I missed my ibuprofen dose).
I’m doing okay with my pain management. I’m really just taking ibuprofen every 6-8 hours now. I’m able to move well. I think I’m going to have a gnarly scar though. My first scar healed so nicely you could barely see it but I don’t think I had as skilled a surgeon this time. Oh well.

Ahhh polson that’s so exciting!! I hope you also find some time to relax this weekend before it gets super real on Monday! We don’t have any plans this weekend. I’ve been trying to figure out what I should wear for newborn family pictures. This is the most stressful part about pictures for me - picking my outfit. I don’t have a lot of options because I tend to not keep my wardrobe updated so I don’t mind buying something but it feels daunting to figure this out when I’m still pregnant and relying on things shipping to me. Also I usually pick out my outfit first and then the rest of the family’s so I’m feeling a bit of time crunch here. Ugh.

UGH newborn photos. Our photographer canceled on us Tuesday morning because of covid. I understand but am still pretty mad about it because now I’ve been scrambling to try to find someone else.

I'm sorry about the heart defect, katespade! That must be so stressful right now. And how crappy of your photographer to cancel now. Covid didn't sneak up on us at this point. Our photographer has repeatedly sent out emails on her Covid precautions. It's just the new reality. polson, you're having a baby tomorrow! That's so exciting!! Man time is really flying. I'm 37 weeks and do not feel like my body is ready for labor at all. I haven't felt any contractions and really don't feel any different than I have over the past few months. I know I still have a few weeks left, but I was hoping for some kind of progress or a hint that my body is preparing.

What was frustrating was we had literally just finalized everything last weekend (and I confirmed to her that I had been tested and it was negative) and then 2 days later she bailed. Nothing changed in those two days!

Ahhh polson good luck tomorrow!! G slept so well the last 2 nights. He slept a 4 hours stretch both nights and last night was only up twice. DD was such a bad sleeper- she didn’t STTN until she was 13 months old and was up every 2 hours before that- so this is a whole new world for me. But he’s a GROUCH today and I’m just accepting that I can’t get much done. He just wants to be held.

polson, do you have a baby yet?! 🤞🏻 not yet! i go in at 730 tonight which is nice. i can pick up the girls from school and take them to my mom’s and spend a few hours with them before. i’m hoping to get some rest before things start happening. i have spent all morning cleaning and doing laundry done. i know it will only last about a half a day, but i’m excited to come home to clean sheets and no laundry.
