I feel like I always start HDBD threads and never participate. Sorry ladies, I'm really just lazy because I only wear lounge clothes on Wednesdays.
I had a scare last night about 4 am and was sure I was going to end up in L&D. I woke up to pee and my pants were wet. I freaked out thinking that this cannot be happening. Hobbled my way to the bathroom (thanks crotch pain) and luckily it was just sweat from the pillow between my legs. But of course, the adrenaline woke up baby and we spent the next half hour trying to calm down, checking for contractions and trying to get comfortable.
I'm going to take that as a sign as I need to get some sort of bag packed.

Morning! I’m 30 weeks today. This pregnancy has seriously flown by. Our crib will be here Friday so Wife moved her desk from the guest room to our living room. For some reason she’s against the boys sharing a room? Idk. We have 3 bedrooms so technically they can have their own but LO will be sharing w the guest room and now we have a desk in the living room. jessijean this is me every single night. Ugh. I sweat so much at night. 30 weeks! Had to take a selfie bc Wife was on a call. And DS

Hi! Here we are at 25 w: My mom is putting down her golden tomorrow. DD and I are going over tonight to say goodbye. Any ideas on how to help a 2y the next time we go over and the dog isn't there?

You ladies all look so great! I haven’t taken a bump pic yet so I may participate later. I have my appt today with the diabetes team to learn how to test my sugars for the next week. I’m also meeting with a dietician. Hopefully everything comes back ok and I don’t have GD. sunfrogger, I am so sorry to hear about your mom’s dog. It’s never easy and when you add kids into the mix, it makes it a little bit harder. I would try to make it as positive a conversation as possible. Let her know that the dog is safe. I really don’t know beyond that. It’s tough.

I’m sorry sunfrogger that’s so sad. I don’t have any advice. My 2yo gets sad when we kill bugs i can’t imagine having to explain a dog. 😞

Yay pippiann! I'm glad L got to come home! I had a normal OB appointment this morning and my blood pressure was really low which explains why I wasn't feeling right yesterday. They weren't worried and attributed it being sick. Baby is measuring on track and the heartrate was good so that was reassuring.

I got a NST today at my OB appointment since baby girl was being stubborn and not moving. Of course she kicked up a storm while I was there 🙄 I can't feel her movement as well so I am hoping that means she changed position and flipped from breech! Wishful thinking I know. 30w1d with baby girl #3!

sunfrogger, I'm sorry, that's such a hard thing to go through. I think that being honest in a positive way is best. Saying doggy is sick so gets to go to heaven now kinda thing. But also when she sees everyone else upset to let her know that being sad is a good thing and that it means that you love the dog so much. I'm not sure how much a 2 year old will comprehend about the topic right now but sending you guys so many hugs.

I might take a pic later, but for right now I have parked myself on the couch and I am not moving. My workout killed me last night and the pelvic pain is SO bad. Of course DH had a SEVEN hour tattoo scheduled last night so I was hobbling around solo chasing my little beastie around.
I had a dream I went into labour early and that I had DS with me so he was there for the entire delivery and It scarred him for life hah. So now im panicking about getting some sort of hospital bag together just in case. Time is going by way too fast

I was so stressed out the entire delivery over who was watching DD and making sure she wasn’t destroying the hospital room.

sunfrogger no advice, just my condolences! jessijean sorry for the scare! I get so freakin hot when sleeping too. And omg the post partum sweats are even worse. Glad all ended up being well. @pippian two little sweeties! DS wasn't quite as early as your little guy (33w3d, and released at 35w2d) but I remember how hard it was to wrap around not being pregnant anymore. I was a bridesmaid 3 weeks PP with him and I had a super cute maternity dress picked out and instead was an overtired new mom who just got to take my son home but still wanted to be there and I bought a new dress while he was in the hospital still to try to hide the fact I still looked pregnant, rather than cutely show it off. Really, it's all a big blur and I still can't believe I and him made it to that wedding lol. Luckily she got married on university grounds, where the hospital is, so if he hadn't gotten released I still planned on popping over for as long as I could, but it was still such a very strange and unexpected scenario.

And good afternoon! I've had a busy day so far having to run to the city first thing in the morning for my diabetes consultation, and then family flu shots when I got back home. But the kids were great through their shots, and my consultation was incredibly helpful and I'll just update in the GD thread.
And I'm just over 30 weeks now but I'll share pics from Friday when we took our first skate of the year! I was happy with how good I felt after, though it may be the only one I squeeze in anyway. I was super impressed with DD's determination as she tried a few times to skate to H on her own! Both my kids have always loved skating!
And a big ol Canadian AW as my son started his first hockey season yesterday.
And just from today DD proud of her flu shot button. She's given her stuffies immunizations since getting back haha.

I don’t have a bump pic because I never took my mirror out of my closet. Lol I can post a pic or so of G. She is cute af. This was actually from Halloween before we put costumes on. She was leaning on me so my belly makes a slight cameo. The only recent ones I have of her are from behind. Lol

tiffrobot how old is your son? I can’t wait to get ours into hockey! Wife grew up in Chicago so we’re big Blackhawks fans. My Dad played hockey too so I’m sure he’ll be thrilled (terrified).

He was 4 at the beginning of July! So the team is made up of all 4 (and one 3) year olds. While we registered with the league this year, it's aimed to just be a practice year since the initiation age group for the league is 6 and under and this is most kids first year and we don't have any 5 or 6 year olds, so we may not play any games. If they find other young initiation teams that just want to do a game practice we may organize a game, and the coach thinks if anything maybe 3 games max and we won't even consider it until after Christmas. ETA my brother was a goalie growing up and still is on rec teams when he plays, so DS is already asking if he can be goalie too. Haha.

It’s basically an intro to hockey class. The bigger kids get to play during intermission at Tampa Bay Lightning games and it’s freaking adorable. I can’t imagine the pressure of playing in such a large arena at 6/7! I think a goalie sounds like a good plan, much safer than a defenseman!

tiffrobot I should probably also mention LO’s first name is after a hockey player. So he’s destined to play too. 😂

I live in an NHLless province but have seen the little guys out during the city's junior hockey games (which is the highest level league we have here) and they are so freakin adorable, I agree it must be so fun and maybe intimidating to play with such a big crowd!!

Random question... I’m new to this whole winter-baby thing. When it comes to layering, should i be putting long sleeve onesies underneath the footies or is short sleeve sufficient enough? I have lots of short sleeve onesies but zero long sleeves for layering.

I have lots of short sleeve onesies but zero long sleeves for layering. We did this with C and didn’t even live in a cold place. With short sleeve onesies I mean. I think you’re probably ok with short sleeves under the pajamas even in the winter especially if you will be swaddling.

I have lots of short sleeve onesies but zero long sleeves for layering. Depends on your house, we usually just did short sleeves for layering but on cold nights we would occasionally use long sleeve.
