beefinch yay I’m so happy that you’re reunited with your little girl. She is so adorable! misskilljoy I hope the next hearing test is normal! @cndfarmgirl I have been feeling the same way- hiccups and some movement here and there, but not as much as I’m used to  I hope your little one perks up soon! My little guy usually moves a lot when I’m sitting still at work so hopefully I notice more movement today as well. paperbagliz glad to hear a good update on M! I’m so happy you have both girls home with you.

The cold I have is slowly but surely getting worse every day. I’m definitely calling in to work tomorrow if I don’t feel better. Luckily today is an easy day, so I’m just constantly washing my hands/using hand sanitizer and trying to forge on.
DH woke up today feeling sick too, ugh. He man-colds so hard.

Waiting for my ob appointment. I guess we’ll see if I’m dilated at all yet.
I was so glad to get out of work for a bit because I can’t deal with my substitute. We had agreed that she would take over 100% this week and yet, I still had to get the first class started because they were just sitting there while she stood off to the side of the room writing and doing who knows what. Ugh. Lady, you taught for 30 years. This should be easy for you.

I'm a real waste of space at work right now. I am finishing up a few things and trying to get a jump start on some things someone else will have to cover but that's about it. I am definitely not being very productive. Mentally totally check out, for sure.
I have an NST scan this afternoon. I am not looking forward to it because both DS1 and this baby have proven to hate NSTs and don't cooperate. I don't really want to be at the office for a million years. Plus, they had to tie the NST to a provider and it is one I have never seen. I am not sure if he'll want to do a check or not, but I don't want to do that either since I was just there Friday.
The gist of this is that I would rather be at home on my couch than doing anything at all that I need to do today.

My appointment went well. I go back in a week. However, they had to redo my gbs swab because it didn't get processed. Pretty sure that means they lost it. Fml

Finally packed the hospital bag. Now my daughter won't stop trying to carry it around. She wanted to pack every single blanket and outfit we have.
I was worried about my son when DD was born, but he did amazing. I was shocked. I'm hoping the same for my DD this time around too.

Also useless at eork. Today is my last day actively teaching, then my guest speaker starts tomorrow and is here until thanksgiving break. All I'm going to have to do is catch up on grades and makes sure my students behave. Otherwise I can mentally check out.
I'm also a bit worried about DD. She LOVES babies and was super cute and helpful with the newborn at my sprinkle, but I worry about when the novelty wears off.
And after having contractions allllllll day yesterday I'm down to just on and off cramping today. Baby, I'm ready!

I feel great today. Like 100x better than the last two. Not sure if that's a good sign or a bad sign. 😂

cdnfarmgirl, I guess take any good feelings that you can get! Now, where is AnnPerkins? Are we placing bets on who will be next?

Happy Monday all!
I'm also pretty useless at work and woke up from a nap yesterday with a full blown cold - no idea where that came from. So all in all, I'm just taking up space in an office today. I have two files that I need to work on this afternoon / evening.
I was fairly productive this weekend - just need H to get up in the attic and get the rest of the stuff down so I can see what needs to be washed and/or aired out.
I moved a lot of DD's stuff around this weekend to make room for the new baby stuff and so far she's taking things pretty well. She tells me that she's going to share with her baby sister and everything. We'll see how she is when the baby is actually here.

I’m sitting in piles of tiny clothes and wondering if I will be able to put these clothes on our last baby. Trying not to get too sad.

misskilljoy, DD was jaundiced, also from not really eating enough at first and not pooping out the meconium quickly. FX DS gets his latch down, and passes his hearing test! At the 2 day pedi appointment, she pushed on DD's belly, and poop came out. It was hilarious and also effective lol.

My belly is still measuring huge so I'm going for another growth ultrasound this afternoon. My OB said it won't change how she treats me unless he's like 11 lbs, because I already delivered a 9 lb baby vaginally. So, we'll see. I'd like him to stay in for another week, just to finish up some stuff around the house, but after that I'll be past 38 weeks and would welcome him whenever. One of the other day care moms made me feel a little better about potentially having a big baby. She said her DD2 was a 10 pounder and out in 2 pushes! So, I am keeping that in mind, lol. |

Waiting At my weekly appointment, I’m debating asking the OB to check me because this morning I feel like he is about to fall out. Although he’s also still kicking my ribs. +1 for feeling like this baby is going to just fall out. |

My OB also isn't worried about his size since I did fine with my last baby at 9lbs. It was like 4 pushes and he was out. |

I did preschool drop off this morning since DCP took the day off, which was nice. But it is already hot. The school (and much of the district) is doing early dismissal due to heat advisory, which doesn't affect DD since her class is only a morning class anyway. But still, DNFW 100 degree weather. And it is supposed to be hotter tomorrow. I am so glad we paid a bajillion dollars for air conditioning- worth it.
I am picking up DD soon and then we are heading downtown to meet H for lunch and say hi to his office. One of his employees is super excited to meet DD which is really sweet. And after lunch, I take DD for her flu shot, and will be offering ice cream afterward as a bribe.

If it can... I don't trust myself lol according to their FAQ's (which took me too Long to actually think to look up) they can be washed. I'll wash it. I'll take the chance. |

I think I may ask for a cervix check at my appt on Wednesday. I have been feeling some pressure and some painful twinges like something is happening. And misskilljoy's story of the woman showing up at 8 cm is scaring me, haha. |

And misskilljoy's story of the woman showing up at 8 cm is scaring me, haha. When I delivered my son, a lady walked in and said her water just broke outside. Then she started screaming she needed to push and the nurse brushed her off. Finally checked and she was 10cm already. Lol |

I am here and still pregnant. This baby is probably just enacting her first attempt at psychological warfare against me and won't show up until Thursday night.

I hope your little one perks up soon! My little guy usually moves a lot when I’m sitting still at work so hopefully I notice more movement today as well. 
But otherwise I'm okay today.
