Good morning, ladies! I'm going to pretend I got any sleep last night (I did not) and try to tackle the day with positivity. It's baby day for AnnPerkins, right?! |

Morning!! I could still be sleeping but I'm awake- thinking of hopping in the shower and then laying back down for a bit. How is it only Wednesday? This week is going so slow for me!!!!

I crawled into bed at 8:30 and moved my alarm back to 5:30 and I'm still exhausted. I can't believe how tired I am. Happy baby day AnnPerkins!!! |

Good luck AnnPerkinsI did not sleep worth peanuts. I thought I was going to get a kid-free day today. I was originally scheduled to work today but then switched a shift a couple of weeks ago. Checking through my email randomly I realized I had already booked daycare for Friday and not today. DH was less than pleased since he was already out the door with the kids. Well there goes my sleeping/productive day. |

I had an hour of pretty solid contractions last night that definitely made me perk up and pay attention but they subsided when I went to bed. DS1 has his two year appt this morning so I got to sleep in a little. That doesn’t mean much when you are up every couple of hours to pee. Happy baby day AnnPerkins! I don’t think you go in until this evening so if that’s the case, I hope you have a great last day without the new babe but hooray for her coming very soon!! |

Awe, shucks! Thanks guys!
I'm about to take DD to school with my mom, I think DS and I will go to the library for story time a little later this morning, and then DH, DS, and I will be picking up DD a little before lunch. She has a scheduled early dismissal today, so it all really worked out for us to get some extra family of 4 time. We're going out to eat together and then home for a Halloween movie and ice cream. DH and I leave for the hospital around 4:30pm!

Sounds like a perfect day before baby arrives, AnnPerkins. Glad you're able to get one last family day in! We were really thankful to do that with DD. Good luck today! |

Good morning. I'm playing blocks with ds3 right now. He's giving all the blocks hugs before using them lol
Yesterday I had an awful pain in my upper stomach all day and horrible nausea. Today the nausea seems to be gone but I still have slight pain in my upper right. It's subsided a lot since yesterday though. So I'm debating whether or not to call my OB or just wait it out til Friday since I'm feeling better.

DS2 is happy, fed, and sleeping. DS1 is dressed and eating breakfast. I'm finally wearing my own undies (not the mesh ones from the hospital). We are watching Curious George before my mom picks ds1 up and takes him to the zoo! AnnPerkins happy baby day!! Enjoy your day before you go in to the hospital  |

So I'm debating whether or not to call my OB or just wait it out til Friday since I'm feeling better. Pre-e crusader time again: upper right gastro pain is a red flag. Take note of any other potential symptoms (headache, even if mild; blurriness or spots in vision; swelling; nausea, which you mentioned) and if you have a way to check your BP, do so. Drink lots of fluids and try to sit down. I would say definitely call your OB. Waiting until Friday isn't great on the off chance that it's something serious as pre-e can ramp up fast. Odds are it's NOT serious, so I get wanting to wait it out, and calling can be a PITA because they'll probably want you to go in... but better safe than sorry? |

I also think you should call. |

We have big plans of going to Starbucks and Walmart today. Starting tomorrow we have Halloween-related events every day until Tuesday. It'll be busy but fun to introduce friends to the twins!

Thought I was taking my ibuprofen (the hospital sent me home with a bag of various pain killers, iron supplements, and laxatives, LOL) but in my tiredness, I have been taking acetaminophen instead. No wonder I have felt swollen and sore around my stitches the past day or so. Whoops. XD We'll see if the ibuprofen helps with my Tank Girl boob issue. Actual photo of me right now: (Not really, it's rocket boob Tank Girl. Just in case anyone's at work.) |

Thanks misskilljoy I called and they're having me come in at 11:15. Hopefully it's nothing, but better to be safe and get checked out, you're right |

I'm glad you're going in, quinn. My family is always THAT statistic where the weird medical thing that shouldn't happen does, so I tend to suggest erring on the side of caution. With everyone other than me. I'm the worst at taking care of myself. FX it's nothing but a tummy bug and normal third tri stuff! |

Good Morning ladies- I need it to cool down here. Like seriously if we have another day of 100°+ heat I’m going to die. I took cold showers, I drank a ton of water, hung out in the car with the A/C while DD2 napped, used ice packs... I still had a horrible headache all day and was nauseous and dizzy. There’s just no way to cool this place down. I woke up and still have this fracking headache (Tylenol is not helping).

Am I the only one who every time I check in here I am so hopeful for a new baby thread and slightly disappointed when there isn't one? It seems like there was such a baby boom and now....nothing. Bring on the babies!!!!

Today is an emotional day for me. We had dd at 37 weeks and I was induced after a high risk pregnancy. So grateful to have made it this far with wayyyy less stress and doctors appointments.

How's the forecast for the rest of the week? |

Tylenol Sinus seems to have helped a bit with my sinus issue - enough so that I can concentrate in small spurts and hopefully get some stuff done today. However, the genius who put it on the bottom shelf at CVS should be shot - 38 weeks pregnant with a sinus headache and having to bend over to read the boxes, that was not fun!
4.5 more days of work!!!
