Love the dots thatgolfb! I also call those onesies. Sorry your DD is going through that cnf, must just be a stage, right? As for me, I had a great weekend, fun and relaxing. Had some family over, had some friends over, yesterday was more relaxing with yoga and errands. I cut my own mats to frame the art prints I bought since I didn't want to pay Michael's $55 for two! They turned out pretty good, no one will really look that close, right? Today, however, I feel like crap! Woke up feeling fine and pleased I had another good night's sleep. Ate breakfast and then 30 minutes after I got to work started feeling dizzy and flushed and like I might pass out or puke. Maybe I just had to poop, because I seem to feel a bit better now. But it was pretty unpleasant. Splashing some water on my face seemed to help (sorry makeup ) It's not a great day for me to go home sick, but I'll see how it goes. Any advice?

When we found she was a girl I just literally ordered loads of clothes in the first week or so. Clothes were the main things, as we don't have a nursery to do! If we had a nursery to decorate and do I would be feeling a lot more stressed as that wouldn't have been done yet lol. She just has a wardrobe in DS's (their room) of her clothes. I'm just a very organised person when it comes to things like this as I like it to be done by 30 weeks, so then all I have to do is the hospital bag and then I can just chill! Clothes is the main thing here too, I need to go through DD1's clothes to see what will fit (born in different season). And figure out how to set up their room, especially their closet. Feel free to send me some of your organizational skills I would totally do all of that. Sounds like great fun to me lol!

blabbermouth eat something salty to bring up your BP, drink some cold water, and lay down with feet up if you can. I hope you feel better soon!

I texted my sister to see how she is feeling (she is about 35 weeks). She said okay but glad she can sleep whenever she needs to because sleeping is hard. So now I am bitter that I cannot sleep when I want to. Lol. Noy logical at all, she is on summer break from teaching and also has no other kids. I have a year round job and a kid. So obviously will be different.

And when she was born I went back to sleep during her first nap. The reality of how tired I'll be with having a toddler on top of the newborn lack of sleep, worries me a little lol.

DD will be in day care/school during the day the whole time I'm on leave, save for holiday vacation weeks. And H will be there to help for the time she isn't. So I'm holding out hope I can still "sleep when baby sleeps."

PSA Target Cartwheel coupon! Also, some good kids clothes coupons. I just shopped the Cat and Jack sale but I guess I'm shopping again. Take my money, Target. I also have a Perk of $10 off $50 decor purchase.

We were at a play date for most of the afternoon. I had to stop at the store beforehand and thought to myself, "Vanilla cupcakes with vanilla frosting would be divine. I should pick some up." Unfortunately, in the store's bakery they only had a tray of 6 vanilla cupcakes which would mean that all the kids at the play date could have one, but there would be none left for me. They also had a tray of 12 chocolate with vanilla icing, but those are just the worst and not what I wanted.
So, instead of putting the children before myself, I left the store with no cupcakes. BUT during the ride to my friend's house, I decided that was sort of petty (and I still really wanted a cupcake) so I stopped at a different store and was able to find a mixed dozen of vanilla and chocolate to bring with us. It was everything I hoped it would be and someone else made cookies!

Day 1 of DH being out of town is over! I successfully got DS bathed, fed, hair brushed, in PJs, and in bed with minimal tears. Now I just need to keep it up for three more days. And get out of here on time in the morning tomorrow LOL we shall see about that!
DS gave me a hug and said "I love you" out of nowhere. He is very physically affectionate with hugs & kisses, but rarely says I love you to me. I just about melted into the floor.

I'm stuck in a Tim Horton's using free wi-fi to do work for my course. I had to do this AND one of my friends had to come do some work too since she has a job that never really stops for vacation. My work is done now but she still has stuff to finish, so I'm killing time... thus, here are some photos. PDQ as I will delete them later.
*poof*

GOT was amazing.
Hi. *waves*
Lost in a sea of packing boxes. GD is kicking my ass but I think we've finally got my sugars figured out. Missing all the carbs. 😭 T-3 weeks until we move.
+1 on being a human punching bag. This kid is serious.
My goal: keep up here!
Anyone have a good baby winter clothing check list? I feel like a noob again since it's been 3 years.

So apparently I don't have a doctor anymore. I got a call from my doctors office saying my doctor's mom passed away and she is staying in South Africa indefinitely now (she has been there on holidays for the last month and half). They switched me to a resident GP doctor who doesn't deliver. So we will see what happens at my next appt. not sure what they will say seeing as there are only 3 doctors that deliver at my local hospital. So we will see I guess.

shibes stock up on fleecy zippered onsie pajamas. My January baby lived in them for the first two months. I actually ran out to the store like a week after he was born to buy more lol. You can get one of those fleecy snowsuit things but we didn't use it. Lots of blankets for transporting baby from house to car. Hats. Socks/booties. You can do sweaters/sweatshirts or again blankets. Sleep sacks for naps and/or bedtime. They make fleecy ones.

Baby hiccups, anybody had them yet?
I'm really not sure if DD is having them. Is it to early yet? I can't remember when DS started having them, I think it was more towards 30 weeks.
DD will do maybe 4 movements, that feel like the hiccups and then I'll take notice and she'll stop. It's the quick hiccup movement and they come every 2 seconds. I think she's just being a wriggle bum

I don't think anything rhythmic I feel is hiccups yet, but maybe.

Re: winter clothes - make sure they have easy access for diaper changes. FTM mistake with DS - bought him the cutest fleece one piece - that required me to take it off completely for a diaper change. . - especially because it was super cute But the fleecy sleepers are awesome. And there's a product called "sock on" that will help with keeping socks on - www.amazon.com/Sock-Ons-Keep-Socks-White/dp/B001V9JMPI. These were awesome!

I had to wake up for work at 4 AM... so of course my body woke me at 3 and I couldn't go back to sleep. Partially due to karate kid in my ute. Sooo tired. But, the Ninja made me coffee and I remembered to bring my breakfast and lunch. So at least I have that going for me.
I'm napping after work today.

It was usually around 10-20min of rhythmic movements.

I'm sitting at the ER. I woke up with pretty bad groin/leg pain and now my whole leg is swollen. I had my rhogam appointment today, so I talked to the ob who was in maternity, and she wasn't concerned, but I am.
