Undies are dry an hour later and my squeeze test did not produce anymore supposed leakage, so I'm going to assume I'm good for now, but I will pack my bag today.

Contractions here last night too but I don't really feel panic mode yet since I had 5 weeks of prodromal labour with DD last time. I also get the leaking sensation but it's mostly mucous, discharge and sweat (yay for swamp crotch). It's rainy and cold here, but another turkey dinner is on the docket for tonight so at least something to look forward to. I had prodromal labour last time too but last night was the first time I was woken up! Hence the panic. It didn't make me jump out of bed, though. Apparently my panic only kicks in when the sun is up.

I'm so giddy that we are having our first N17 baby today. Not that it is exactly a joint effort, all credit goes to librarylady, haha.

Aww I'm glad you got some snuggle time cnf. DD has been super cuddly lately and I am fully taking advantage it. I love the snuggles!

I may have just leaked a bit. I went to go poo and a steady trickle came out from definitely not my urethra. It lasted a good like 30+ second too then stopped. I wasn't able to squeeze anymore out, but this is what happened last time too. Guess I'll try to take it easy today. Too early, body. Way too early. Oh man. Do you think you should go in so they can swab you? That makes me nervous!

cnf,I'm starting to get some of those feels too about dd not being the only anymore. I know having a sibling will be great for her but my little baby. I guess I really need to get on top of things this week. I'm 35 weeks and I told myself that I wanted everything done by 37 so I could enjoy/relax as much as possible when baby gets here. So far, I just keep saying this same thing every week though. LOL

Woke up three times last night because of painful cramps. Contractions? I don't know! They went away every time so I shrugged them off. In the light of day now I am panicking and sterilizing pump parts, bottles, etc. and packing my hospital bag. Because LOL, why haven't I done those things?! DH is putting the bucket seat in my car. Crap, I totally keep forgetting about my hospital bag. I did put the bucket seat back together after washing it yesterday. It isn't in the car, but it is a start lol. Worst case scenario, H rearranges the seats while I am in the hospital. The annoying part is having to move DD's big seat, which I can't do myself, or I would just do it. Installing the infant base is NBD.

I'm hoping it was maybe just watery discharge.

misskilljoy, I’m feeling that way too sometimes. I also get very little bladder relief sometimes, so it doesn’t always actually feel like I’m peeing. Trick I learned last time: hold your belly up and lean forward. Your bladder will empty more that way! Especially at the end when baby is really compressing things. +1 I learnt that last time as well, and I've been doing it ever since 28ish weeks now. Doesn't stop the having to wee every 1/2 hours though!

quinn may the odds be ever in your favor! cnf you tell that babe to stay put for now. I'm jealous of everyone that's off today, I need another day in my weekend. I should be working, payroll isn't going to submit itself. I continued my freezer cooking this weekend by prepping 2 meatloaves, 4 batches of meatballs, 1 batch of soup, and more zucchini bread because I wanted some for the week and didn't want to dip into my stash lol. I think I'll do some lasagna next weekend, we'll see how I'm feeling though since I have my shower and maternity pics. I don't want to over do it now but I want my first 2 weeks of maternity leave (as long as this baby isn't born yet) to be open for me to relax instead of finishing up stuff.

My coworkers have decided that they need to cram three months worth of projects/requests for help into the next three weeks and I want to kill them.

I have something I am trying to finish up before I go, but I've done all I can and now I have to wait for other people to respond to me about it. This is my attitude re: if I am able to finish before leave: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Update: bathroom is not happening today, too soon to tell on cleaning the floors. Outside of grocery pick-up, I think DS and I are just going to have a lazy day.

People keep telling me I can't have the baby yet because they need me to do xyz. Makes me want this baby to come just to get back at them. You might just have to figure it out without me, jerks.

If you really want to panic about the state of your uterus, eat a bunch of beets and then forget about it.
I think I've done this to myself four times in the last two months.

This weekend a coworker asked if I was coming back to work after the baby was born. I told her yes, probably at the end of December or beginning of January. She then asked who would be watching my kids... -My husband? (As he's always done.) And he's ok with taking care of all three of them, even a little baby? -Yes... Well, that's just great!
Or it's his job as a parent, but sure, I guess it's also great.

This morning I realized that I should always shower first thing in the morning - just in case my water breaks. Do not want to go into labor already feeling gross.

+1 for contractions last night. It’s super weird to me because I never had a single one with my first pregnancy. I was mildly freaked out to the point that I was counting them (I got to 4 within about a 20 min period), but contractions at this stage are normal, right?
Also +1 for being SO SICK of work. I know mat leave is not a vacation, but I’m definitely excited to not be here for 12 weeks. I really want to take a personal day soon on a day that DS is in daycare.
