We have names picked out. 1 boy name and two girl names (ill decide when baby is born/if baby is a girl).
I'm so tired, shocking. 35 weeks today and we have our family/maternity photos this afternoon. I'm hoping to nap after my in laws leave lol.

Happy October!! It actually feels like fall here, even though it'll get up to 80 today. The windows are open, and my kids are complaining they're cold.
After three nights of being awake for 2-3 hours at a time, I took Benadryl last night. I slept like a baby and even dreamed that the twins were born. The surprise was one twin was a boy named William. So.

paperbagliz, I had a dream about the baby being born last night too! It also feels like fall here. I went grocery shopping at 8am, and it was only 40 degrees. Brrr! It’s going to be 70 and beautiful today though. October is my favorite! And it’s my birthday.

Have fun at family picture day grumpycat! Sorry for the contractions cnf, but thanks to everyone for sharing their previous stories. It's amazing how normal birth can have so many variations! Good morning all. I really should have hired someone to wash my windows outside this year. I usually do it myself because we have a rancher, but not this year. Now the sun is shining in and they look awful! It's probably not too late, maybe I can get a discount because the crappy fall rain storms are on the horizon. My mom and SIL are coming for a visit this morning to see the baby's room. Not sure why it requires a special visit, but I suppose I will make sure my house and myself are clean and presentable. Then lunch with DH's dad. Then a baby shower for my friend who is ten days after me and has a belly that looks two months after me

Pack n play is clean. I think. Haha. Water wasn't as dirty as I thought it would be. But maybe it's a good thing? I ended up just using oxyclean and hot water. We sprayed it off with the hose outside and left it to dry all day.

It felt like fall this morning here too. It was wonderful! But now it's hot.
We spent the morning at a farm here where they have tons of activities for the kids. I'm exhausted now.

I got a call that I won a raffle I entered yesterday, so that's exciting! Not much going on here but we do have a birthday party to go to this afternoon.

My body is reminding me that I didn't poop yesterday by taking a million poops today. At least I'll be less bloaty for our photos, right?
I'm actually going to wear makeup ... for the first time in months. I'm gonna have to do my weekly bump picture today ha ha.
On my agenda is letting everyone know our when I go into labor plan aka the plan with ds. And get everyone's ok to help. Most have already offered so it's just confirming.

I love the names, but I’m not sure about together. The soft sounds back to back sound almost choppy? Cora Katharine/Catherine Cora Grace Cora Jane/June Cora Dawn Cora Mae Cora Christine Cora Mae Cora Michelle I’m a total first name and middle name user about 50% of the time at home. Cora Mae might be my fav on this list, but I love Cora in general. So pretty! I know someone who has two daughters, one named Cora and one named Mae. Lovely names!

I love the cool weather we are having! It instantly makes me in a good mood. Working on cleaning my house right now because I want a clean home to come home to after baby. Hopefully I can get in one more cleaning next weekend too. I also want to head to Costco today to stock up on food for the month. Then MH will just have to run to the store each week for dairy and produce.

H is out playing golf and I am letting the toddler do whatever he wants. MOTY over here. I have been super nauseous and had a terrible cough lately and just been feeling pretty terrible. I started taking b6/ unison again Friday night and feel much better nausea wise. Not perfect but better. I still can't seem to get rid of the cough though. It's making it difficult to get anything done. 🙁 I feel like I've stalled out in getting things ready for this baby.

Sweet Jesus. I just spent 10 minutes putting on my boots. I'm honestly shocked that I didn't go into labor doing it. I told DH that he is going to need to help me take them off later. Oof. #pregnancyproblems

Happy birthday bethkate! I have no motivation today and everything is pissing me off. I wish it was bedtime. I did get all of the newborn and 0-3 month clothes sorted. I just have to wash them and put them away still. I'd like to get all of the 3 month stuff washed and folded too so it is easy to swap out when the time comes.

We went to the apple orchard today. It was awesome. This was about one minute before three goats cornered DD and I had to pick her up to rescue her because she was freaking out. (poof) DD is a ham and made non-stop silly faces or did weird things when I tried to take nice photos of her. (poof) Then she got her Frozen DVD back (it's been at my parents' house for a few weeks) and she literally wept for joy, so guess what we've been doing this afternoon.

Happy birthday bethkate!!! DS took an epic nap today. I took one too and woke up after an hour and played on my phone while DS slept- just what I needed- I was really crabby earlier today. Fall is in full force here and I am so happy!! Tonight I'm making chicken pot pie and cornbread. I'm excited!!!!!

Just had a high school kid come to the door selling chocolate bars to raise money for the school band. I'm a former band geek and my sweets cravings have been out of control so I was super excited! I think I scared him with my enthusiasm and DH had to keep me from buying the whole box lol.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone! We went to my dad’s to watch football and have a cookout. It was a nice, low key day. Now for the usual Sunday night meal prep and stuff to get ready for the week.
