For the record, my BS was 133. Oops. Better luck next time. Give yourself a break, that's honestly not that bad and all your other numbers have been fine. (Said the pregnant lady who declared "f*ck it I want pizza" last night when deciding what to make for dinner)

mrspiatt, wtf...you tell them you want VBAC, they say no...so then C section is the only option and they lecture you? Is there some other super secret way they get babies out that I don't know about? Was the kid from Knocked Up right? I'm sorry that is really annoying.

grumpycat I will need that cornbread casserole recipe, please. I love that stuff. I've made one with cornmeal, creamed corn, Greek yogurt, and I forget what else. Well, I know what is going on my meal plan for next week. It's the easiest thing in the world to make. It's probably very similar to what you already make though. I always do the full fat version lmao. We only eat it a couple times a year, might as well indulge. Here's a link: allrecipes.com/recipe/18906/awesome-and-easy-creamy-corn-casserole/ I have my great aunt's recipe too but I think it's the same thing. We refer to it as "Aunt J's cornbread" and if it's not made for a holiday, there are many disappointed family members. My in laws are big fans now too.

Ugh, sorry for the lousy appointment, mrspiatt. That whole C/S versus VBAC thing is lame. When you say the hospital is further away, how much further? Congrats AnnPerkins and roloma on approaching milestones! Hope you both see the magical land that is post-36 weeks.

(Said the pregnant lady who declared "f*ck it I want pizza" last night when deciding what to make for dinner) Oh, I have no problem with it at all. I rarely give in anymore and fully expected to be over. I probably would have been fine if I walked for like 10 minutes after. Or maybe if I wouldn't have eaten that second eggroll...

Hi friends! Canadians: happy Thanksgiving weekend! Americans: enjoy your excuse to eat a turkey dinner! (For real, you should.)
I've been MIA because the last two days have been a gong show at work and at home. My preschooler is... something, right now. She senses the changes coming, I think, and is toddlering it up hard.
I was super hopeful that my BP would get itself under control but it has yet to do so (139/97 tonight) and today swelling made a dramatic return, so a big fuck you to my uterus is in order.

misskilljoy- the hospital I’ll be delivering at is 23 miles away and it takes an hour in light traffic to get there. The other hospital is about 50 miles away and right now with light traffic for the first half and medium traffic for the 2nd half it’s over 2 hours to get there. The hospital is in Los Angeles and I’d have to deal with the potential of very congested freeways... on a bad day, it can take well over 3 hours to get there... I just don’t feel comfortable with that.

This afternoon I supervised DH while he painted one of the walls in the nursery. It was stressful for both of us. He's going to finish the other three on Sunday while I'm at work. I'm a little anxious about it.
But at least when it's done we will finally be able to start putting things together in there.

I am jealous of your Friday turkey dinner, snuff9861. JEALOUS. But I get three turkey dinners this weekend, sooooo... it evens out. I'm sure all the salt is really going to help my BP.

After 9 years living in our house I got a dishwasher last year! Our issue is we had to close off our back door that was in the kitchen and put in a door in our dining room to have a place to put it.
I will say when you don't have one you get very efficient when you cook to minimize dishes lol

mrspiatt I'm sorry you had such a lousy appt. I hope you're feeling better! AnnPerkins roloma fx those babes continue to keep cooking so you can blow past those milestones! snuff9861 that spread looks delicious! AnnPerkins our nursery definitely needs touching up and I dread pointing it out to MH, I think I'll just take it upon myself to fix when he's not looking. H and I just pre-ordered the new Google phone. I'm not usually a tech person but it's supposed to have an awesome camera so I'm excited to be able to get good pictures of the peanut once they're born.

My team threw me a shower at work today. I didn’t want a work shower, but it was just my grade level, and most of them had already given me gifts, so it wasn’t bad. We mostly just sat around during our prep period and ate yummy food.

I'm sorry about your new doctor mrspiatt. Is there anyone else you can see, any other offices around you could look into? I feel like having an OB you clock with is so important given how intimate birth can be.

There was Thanksgiving talk here (I think misskilljoy mentioned her OB being closed Monday) and on my A15 board Wednesday... so I went to Vons and bought a couple turkey breast tenderloins and cooked those, 35 minutes and they were delicious, we also had cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes and cranberries...
