A good Monday for me. DH is back home and should be a light day at work. 7 more weeks of work and 6 more weeks of call.

Good morning!
G is on her way to school. MH is going to run some errands and then I have a busy day. I am going to head to the hospital to see if they can get me an appointment with the dietician soon. I don’t like being in limbo like this. Then I have to go to work for a few hours.

Morning!
We were at a friend's yesterday watching football playoffs (Canadian League goes end June-end November) Our team won so off to the next round whoop!
I ended up with a sore throat overnight and slept awful. I swear I've been the most consistently sick this pregnancy than any time in my adult life. Hope it passes soon.
But I can take it easy today because this is H's day off in lieu of Remembrance Day!
I'm also doing a countdown, 6 weeks till Christmas break! A) not only is it Christmas but B) having him home weeks 37 & 38 with two little kids and the whole Christmas rush will be well needed!! (And if I do go into labour then he's just home!)

The dietician can’t see me until Thursday which is annoying because I feel like I am in limbo until then.

Good morning. So I was thinking, what if you're sick when you go into labor? Like a cold or the flu or something? Its just the worst thing I can imagine.

My current four day work weeks are awesome but it makes Monday's a little more dreary.
Friday would have been Ava's first birthday and we are asking friends and family to do a good deed (buy a stranger coffee, donate to a favorite charity, or bake a friend their favorite cookies and go for a visit, etc.) in her memory. I would love it if you guys wanted to participate.
Friday is also the day our church is decorating for Christmas, so I'm going to go over and see what I can do to help even though I can't lift heavy boxes or be up on ladders. I'm sure there will be things I can do.
Today also starts freakin' week TEN of our master bathroom remodel (our contractor told us it would be about 4-5 weeks). I'm so over the construction, chaos and constant outflow of money from our accounts. I think just about everything should be wrapped up by early next week except for the installation of the shower glass which is tentatively scheduled for November 29th. My MIL is due in town on the 30th for our baby shower so I hope they can stay on schedule so we can be out of the guest bathroom by the time she gets here. If not, the bathroom should be fully operational except for the shower, so we can just put on a robe and finish getting ready in our own space which will help.

I was thinking this exact thing yesterday since I’m sick right now. I literally thought “man it would really suck to go into labor feeling like this” fx that none of us are sick when we deliver!! I do not know how I’d push out a human being sick |

Sorry for everyone who is sick right now! FX there will be no ladies pushing out babies feeling ill.
It's still a holiday for us today so we went out for breakfast and then spending the rest of the day grocery shopping/meal prepping for the week.
MH has to get his wisdom teeth taken out on wednesday so I know ill be spending the rest of the week taking care of him too

I've been thinking about this too, and that is seems awful. I wonder if your adrenaline would take over enough to not think about it for a little bit anyway. |

I do not know how I’d push out a human being sick I’m germ annoying regardless but l get extra so close to delivery. Of course my kids could still pick up the ever present germs at preschool but if l know anyone’s under the weather close to delivery l avoid playdates. I’ll probably amp things up the week before Christmas. Not the same, but one of my friends delivered in Feb a couple years ago and caught the seasonal flu in the hospital. She was so rundown it turned into pneumonia after a couple weeks of not getting better and she had to be hospitalized! All while trying to take care of a 4 yo, 2 yo and newborn! 😱 |

l just put the order in for my new pump with insurance. It was really easy but it feels like a much needed baby prep accomplishment. Major self pats on the back over here.

Just hose her down before she can touch me or anything else. |

Happy Monday y'all! I was at the crisis pregnancy center this morning and now I'm eating a salad for lunch while DS naps. Headed to the chiropractor this afternoon and then to pick up groceries.

I don't even think grandparents are allowed, pretty much just parents. |

My pregnancy rage is getting bad. I went to pick up my Iron script and it wasn't covered and is $122. I called the office and they first said just pick up otc which of course I told them make me puke so they said call my insurance to find out what equivalents are covered. Call them and no Iron is covered. I know it is is fwp but I wasted so much time calling around.
I'm just irritated at everyone recently. Any idea how to chill out?

Good morning. So I was thinking, what if you're sick when you go into labor? Like a cold or the flu or something? Its just the worst thing I can imagine. I had a pretty bad cold when I delivered DD2. I was feverish and terrified my uterus was going to blow out of my vagina every time I coughed. It did not. Honestly the worst part was when DH caught whatever I had a few days later and was utterly useless for our first week or so home 🙄 |

pippiann l see you LT ing. How is L? How are you holding up with traveling to see him and taking care of your older son? He doing good, he is up to 3lbs 4.5oz! 😊 I just can’t wait to get him off the Cpap! He was sooo close then had to go up and then there goes that for a little while. Once he’s off the Cpap he will mostly likely go in a crib too! 😊Hopefully he’ll also get transferred to the hospital where he was born (I can walk there) at 32 weeks (which is next Wednesday). I think the hardest thing about M is not being able to pick him up. He was being a little butt at the grocery store and I couldn’t even just pick him up and put him in the cart, 2 more weeks! Sorry for the novel, today was a rough day. ETA: pic duck face  |

You can get the process started without the prescription from your Dr but eventually will need to email a pic of it to them. l already my prescription and the whole thing took me maybe 5 minutes. |
