I almost titled this "last week of summer" but that made me sad. And then I remembered that most teachers here are already back at work. Tragic.
But it's almost fall! The very best season. I can't wait to get out and do all the things we do in the fall.
Now I'm off to the OB and my last day setting up my classroom.

Sitting at my OB office, waiting to see doc. Nurse said nothing about my BP or urine test, so I'm assuming everything was good since she has no filter. She did tease me about how warm I am. I'm a furnace right now. She gave me the GENIUS idea to tuck an ice pack under my pillow when I go to bed so I can take it out if I wake up too warm - why did I never think of this?!
Got a surprise req for a 35 week ultrasound. I haven't spoken to OB yet so I have no idea why he's asking for this. Probably just based on previous history of LGA/polyhydramnios/pre-e/breech so he's checking it all out ahead of time? I was just thinking today that I might not have any more ultrasounds at all since everything has been going well, so this was a surprise!

Ok Italian ladies talk to me about traditions. My mil keeps putting the Italian tradition card and I think it's just so she can get her way. For example: it is the father to be's mother's responsibility to buy everything for the babies room, it is also that person that picks out/buys the coming home outfit. Whoever finds the babies first tooth buys the first pair of shoes, and the godmother must buy the baby a gold cross on a chain (if they happen to not be Italian Mil said she will buy it b/c she has an answer for everything lol)

The tooth and cross thing sound more legit, but I have no evidence to support them.

You know when someone mentions bugs and you get that itchy feeling even though there is no real reason for you to be itchy?
Well last night, while I wasn't sleeping, my mind drifted to all sorts of anxious thoughts. Mainly if I would get cholestasis again and go into preterm labor. The main symptom is itching, so of course I've felt mildly itchy since. I'm pretty sure it's all in my head, but the annoying part of my brain is all, "But what if it isn't?" I have an OB appt tomorrow and I'm waffling about whether to tell her or not, lest I be mistaken (haha) for a crazy person.

I hope the feeling passes AnnPerkins. Im being told the tooth thing may be legit. I can see the cross one too but I think the others are totally her using it to try and get her way.

I woke up to my right hip killing me. It seems to be fine when I walk but hurts when I first get up and if I walk to slow. Looks like I may be walking the dogs later if it makes it feel better lol. I'm just hoping I didn't do something in yoga yesterday, at what point do we need to start worrying about relaxin?

I started reading oh crap potty training yesterday. I'm both amused and horrified by some of the stuff that I thought I was doing right but is actually not helpful. I know one book doesn't make the author an expert and every kid is different, but she definitely seems to have worked with my kid before. We will start potty training on Saturday and fingers crossed ds responds well. I'm prepared to keep him home an extra day to make sure everything sticks.

I love fall. I need to start getting my fall/ Halloween decorations out probably.
I've been dealing with a lot of headaches lately and google was/ is making me a little worried but I'm hoping it is just tension or allergies or something causing them and not anything more serious. I have my next OB appt on Wednesday and hopefully I can get some reassurances then.

It seems like August went so fast. I'm ready for fall weather but it looks like I won't see that here for awhile. It's supposed to stay in the 100's this week and next.

DH and I are going to Nashville with 3 of our guy friends from HS this weekend. All of them are married, but only 2 wives are coming. None of them have kids. Since I've only talked with their wives a handful of times collectively, most of the planning has been with the guys. They are the worst at it.
We still don't have an itinerary, but at least they are finally responding to our group email about what they'd be interested in doing. One of the wives responded this morning. She said a friend of hers loves going to Mammoth Cave, which is about 2 hours away from the city. Girl. Have you met a pregnant person before? Do I look like I want to drive for 4 hours and walk miles underground, possibly including several hundred stairs? I normally love caves, but this isn't the time. I want to go to Nashville, eat a bunch of bbq and hot chicken, check out the opry, watch my friends get drunk in country bars, and relax in the airbnb's hot tub in 5-10 minute increments.

DH responded that while we would love to do it, it might not be a good idea at this time. I responded with these gifs:

Day 2 of my new job. It's so different than what I'm used to. Oh no snuff, good or bad different? I guess both. I'm so used to being insanely busy all day long. Now I don't do much but cute babies are around to snuggle so.

AnnPerkins, man that doesn't sound fun to me even if I wasn't 30 weeks pregnant 😂 People do tend to just forget that you can't do certain things because your body can't handle it while pregnant My BFF's were like shall we go up to this place for a walk across the sea front? Sorry but have you not been hearing me these past 30 weeks, I can barely walk 100 yards without needing to sit down and the risk of fainting in this heat is high lol

Even though I only had one day off this weekend, I feel like I accomplished a lot for that one day. We went to brunch with friends that we haven't seen in a few weeks, and DD played with their one year old. Then we stopped and got almost all the remaining baby clothes out of storage. I then sorted every. Last. Piece. Of baby clothing. I am patting myself on the back. Also, we put up the PnP. DD had to make sure the baby toys were all still working, though. All over the living room. PDQ.

laurensc927 the cross one is the only tradition I know of and my family is both Italian and Cicilian. And even if it is tradition for her, it doesn't have to be tradition for you. Your baby, your decisions and traditions. She seems so difficult, I'm sorry.

Well shit. I got a notification that my 1 hour test results were in. Fucking 166. Whomp whomp, big fail. Now I am waiting for the office to call and schedule the 3 hour. I am SO pissed and upset. I just needed one thing to go right in this pregnancy, just one. I don't want to do the 3 hour and I certainly don't want to have GD. I was fine with my first pregnancy and really haven't done anything differently this time around. I am already an emotional wreck so this isn't helping at all. Hopefully I pass the 3 hour. Grrrrr. Happy Monday
