Morning. I wish I had more coffee right about now. We were up at the asscrack of dawn to get to the children's hospital and DS is currently having his endoscopy done to confirm whether he has celiac. I know everything is going to be okay, but I'm going to be an anxious mess until it's done.

Guess who has HFM? I'll give you a hint: it's not K. Has anyone had it as an adult? These spots hurt. No wonder the kids have such an awful time with it.
Other than that, I had a really great weekend. My friend ended up getting called into work so K and I got the festival solo. It was cold and windy, but we had a blast. She bounces in the bouncy castle a few times and then we went home to crash. Yesterday my in-laws came over and we are the 23lb ham that's been sitting in my deep freezer since Xmas. We still have a lot of ham left, but for my first time making it, it came out pretty good.
What have you guys been up to?

sheilathetank I'm glad you guys had fun this weekend, but I'm sorry about the HFM. We haven't dealt with that yet, but it sounds like the absolute worst.

Seriously would not wish it on my worst enemy. Our server at work got hit with a virus attack so I can even turn my computer on. May get to go home early so that's a plus. |

@letthewookiewin how long after the endoscopy will you have the results?
Anything I can do to help distract you?

@letthewookiewin Good luck today with the endoscopy for your DS. I imagine it will be nice to confirm whether he has celiac - being in limbo is hard. sheilathetank Sorry about HFM - that really sucks. Glad to hear you and K had fun at the festival though! Ham sounds tasty too. Did you ever find out if K has impetigo? |

Our week has started off well. Over the weekend, I focused on cherishing as much one-on-one time with DS as I could before the new baby arrives. We sat and snuggled on the couch a lot, reading stories and me giving him neck massages. Fun fact - he's already picky about massage. He can tell the difference between my different lotions and always asks for the AVEDA hand relief....of course the most expensive one...😂😭 This kid.
We also made oatmeal sugar butter crispy cookies, which everyone loved.
I'm 37 weeks 4 days today, and DS came at 38 weeks, so if this baby is on the same schedule, our world will be turned upside down pretty soon with a new baby. It's exciting and we're all prepared...I'm just getting lots of feelings thinking about how our time as a family of 3 is coming to a close. I know DS will love having a brother...just...feelings...

Ham sounds tasty too. Did you ever find out if K has impetigo? We are pretty sure that's what it was. We got a topical antibiotic and within 36 hours her skin is like night and day. We were also told to put it on her chin and it started clearing up at the same time. She never got another spot or a fever so the pedi said she couldn't diagnose her with HFM because there wasn't enough clinical evidence. Jokes on me though. Lol |

Shut the front door. Since when are you 37 weeks? I didn't even think you were 30 weeks yet. Holy fuck time flies. I bet you're ready to be off partial bedrest though. |

Also Taitai I'm sorry about all the feels. You're doing a great job given the physical limitations of this pregnancy. Your DS will love you the same no matter if you are a family of 3 or 30. Give him extra snuggles and know that you've got this. 😊 |

sheilathetank Hahaha - your comment cracked me up! I know - it's crazy that it's almost time. With the bedrest, this pregnancy has felt like it has been an eternity. Yet at the same time, I'm like...omg...the baby is going to be here soon! As of Friday (when I hit full term at 37 weeks), all bedrest restrictions were lifted! I can do whatever I want, except drive and lift DS. It's amazing to be able to walk or stand as long as I want....well, except for being 37 weeks pregnant when doing any of that for more than 5 minutes is uncomfortable. Still - the freedom of movement is awesome. Excited to be able to baby wear and get back into shape!

If I was you'd I'd try something crazy like skipping, but knowing how huge I was at 37 weeks it would be more like a thrusting waddle. Hahahahahaha. Something you may not have thought of, things you were able to do before pregnant may be significantly harder after the baby is born because you may have experienced some muscle wasting. 9 months of significantly reduced movement can do that. If it becomes a problem, look into physical therapy to help build you strength and endurance back up. |

I volunteered to host our small playgroup of 6 plus moms at my house for a Halloween party in two weeks. I also joined Pinterest so I can hoard all the ideas. I'm trying not to go overboard but it's so hard not to.

And another waiting game begins. Yay. They saw some inflammation and we won't know anything for sure until the biopsy results come back in another week or so.
But at least we're home and DS and DH are snuggled up on the couch together. Poor kid definitely isn't himself right now, but I can't imagine I would be either after that.

Taitai Now I want cookies. I guess it would be a good way to use up some flour before we go gluten-free if we end up having to.  I can't believe it's almost baby time for you!

Hi everyone! I've been super busy lately, work has been using up my internet time, lol. We had a really great weekend though, H finished up installing our built-in system for our closet, which is awesome now that it's done, but was a pain while it consumed our entire house for a little over a week. And DS had a phenomenal drop-off at day care today! He wanted to "pack a lunch" just like mom, so he even pulled out his own bag. I have him blackberries to put in there, and then he packed a toy school bus and a book, lol. But he was super excited to show off his treasures to his teachers today, and it was adorable.

I'm so sorry you're sick sheilathetank, that sounds awful. But yay for a successful weekend! Today is LBB's birthday. We decorate his room with balloons and streamers, so he woke up to go to the bathroom at 5 something, then came to my bed to ask if he could sleep there, so he wouldn't ruin the surprise of seeing his room. Fun fact: BH was already in our bed, because he was having a terrible teething night and wouldn't stop moaning and crying. So this morning I was covered in small children. We did presents and pancakes and I dropped him off at school with treats for his class. Came home and got extra Hamilton tickets for DH and I, so I can use the tickets we have to take LBB. Tonight we're going out for pizza and ice cream! |

sheilathetank - they went on sale at 8am this morning, and it took me an hour to get through the virtual que. They're only extra in that we already had a pair. Definitely like gold.

MH and I joke that we'll see Hamilton when our kids take us one day, since by then tickets will probably be available. |

Watching Boss Baby. Leo knows more lines than I like to admit. My fault. I love this movies. Even when he's playing I'll put it on for me. It's cute to hear him sing the black bird song.
