Got my flu shot yesterday. I always get a little nervous I’ll have a bad reaction, especially when I’m pregnant. My mom got horribly ill one year with a migraine and fever. But looks like everything is good! My left arm just feels really bruised, which was annoying for sleeping.

Good morning! I’ll have all three girls home today by myself with no real plans. Wish me luck. Lol. We need to bake a cake and continue moving stuff around in rooms.
Question, for those of you considering going with wi-fi video monitors, do you plan to watch it on your phone, or something else? We’ve always had a regular video monitor, need a new one, but the recommended are wi-fi. I can’t get past needing a device to see my kid on.

Good morning ladies! I have been up since 4:20 because MH is noisy. 😑 I have the busiest day ahead and it’s a bit overwhelming. I have an appointment with the dietician at 9. I have to be out of there no later than 10:20 so I can be home to get G from the bus at 11:15. It doesn’t take an hour to get home but I am leaving room for traffic. Then I have a meeting with EI at 3:30 and a meeting with her therapists at 6:30. In between all of that I have to pick up MH at 2:30 so that he can be home to be with G while I am at the 3:30 meeting. Then after the 6:30 meeting I have to go to work for at least 4 hours. Oh also there is eating and a nap for G in all of that. Ugh I’m so tired already.

Good morning ladies! Nothing much going on here, which is exactly what we want . I'm currently free of all IV ports, so I'm starting to feel a bit more like myself. The only medicine that I'm receiving are antibiotics, but they are in pill form so it is easy for the nurses to leave them for my overnight doses. DH is not going to make it in for a visit today, but some of my friends are coming after work and bringing dinner with them. My mom is also going to come by for a bit this afternoon.

Glad to hear things are back to uneventful sparky85, hope it stays that way for awhile! Morning! Not much on the agenda today. I finally slept a little better last night and didn’t wake up with a raging sore throat every couple hours so that’s nice. Hopefully that means I have more energy again and can get the kids out and about more today, we usually try to hit up the library on Wednesday and they need to mail their Santa letters! I had a hair appt last night and am back to my more natural lighter/highlighted colour after being shades of purple for a year because I probably won’t be back to see her for awhile now so I wanted something that will grow out nice! And since it’s Wednesday, 32 week bump! With each one, because this is the last one I can compare all 3 since my 33 week pics with my other two are completely different. And the big kiddos from yesterday walking around the house holding hands lol, so cute. Have a good day!

Hello! I am running around the house tidying and packing and then we are driving to MN tonight. We are celebrating Thanksgiving on Friday due to my brother and SIL's work schedules. I am excited for a weekend with my family, they are so helpful with the kids and it is always fairly relaxing. Here is my 32 week bump! Maybe I will dig out comparison pics later today if I have time :-)

But looks like everything is good! My left arm just feels really bruised, which was annoying for sleeping. I got TERRIBLY sick the year of H1N1. I had to get both the regular flu shot and the H1N1 for nursing school. I got so sick from both of them. But I haven’t had a bad reaction since then! So strange

Morning! DS woke up at 1:20 and slept ok after bringing him in with us. I don’t understand what his deal is. He’s been such a good sleeper for so long. I’m over it. Full normal work day today then Home to make sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, stuffing and green beans. And a chocolate cream pie. I do cooked pudding and homemade whipped cream like my grandma did. Nom. Tomorrow is turkey, rolls, gravy. I feel like I’m missing something. 32 weeks today!! DS wanted in on the pic. And DS compared to LO at 32 weeks

I’ve been up since 4am. Woke up starving and couldn’t go back to sleep. I decided to sneak downstairs for a bowl of cereal AKA pure silence bliss while I eat something without tiny fingers wanting what I’m eating. I open the fridge to find no milk. I cried a little then snapped out of it because of how ridiculous I was being. But man, it was ALL I wanted.
I’m working today; hopefully not a full day. I need to hit the grocery store one more time, run to Target to get DD’s birthday present and then to Party City for all things Frozen decorations. Party is on Saturday. I like to procrastinate!

We have our first shower Saturday and I am sooo excited about it! My family has kept even the theme a surprise so I can't wait to see what it looks like. We have all the nursery furniture built and ready to go...now we just need to do all the finishing touches. I'm happy with it so far though! Here's a peak at one angle.

I actually slept in bed last night! I woke up at 6 in horrible pain (thanks pelvis) but at least I got to lay in bed all night. I'm barely able to keep my eyes open right now but I HAVE to grade papers or I'll be working tomorrow.

hiimjamie, I'm home cooking today too. So far I've done cranberry sauce and dressing and next up is sweet potato casserole (with pecans and brown sugar). This afternoon, I'll try to do the brussels sprouts and roasted squash and then I guess tomorrow will just be turkey and gravy! MIL is bringing desserts and mashed potatoes, so we should be all set!

This is my first time ever hosting but I'm excited to be the one doing most of the cooking! I'm doubling most of the recipes even though there will only be 4 adults and 1 toddler because I want a bunch of leftovers!

DH is on his way home so we should be on the road in an hour or so. We have a 2ish hour drive in normal traffic and we should be leaving early enough to beat the worst of the traffic in our area.
I went to Jo Ann Fabric this morning to get some fabric that was an early Black Friday sale and I'm so glad I went. It was kinda busy for a Wednesday morning but nothing compared to what it will probably be on Friday. I barely had to wait at the cutting counter! I'm making a chenille baby blanket where I make my own chenille by cutting layers of flannel on the bias and I got the most adorable fabrics! I'm also making two more matching ones for a set of twins, their Mom is due one week before me (officially anyway) and I found cute airplane fabric which is perfect since their dad is in the Air Force.
So many cute bumps!

PSA: I just got a Christmas shirt from Motherhood for $10! Normally $29.98. I didn’t want to spend that much bc I only have plans to wear it once, $10 I can live with!

Hope you guys all have a great holiday!
Things are going well. The boys are in the same nursery S of a couple days ago. 😍 finally my boys are together for the first time since birth! Yesterday they had their first eye exam to check for damage and both had no evidence of any eye issues. Yay!

So many cute bumps! I have made that chenille blanket. Did you get a chenille cutter? I would invest.... It is so worth it! I've made 3 so far. I need to make one for my best friend and one for this baby. They take forever.... Like 20hrs in total work. Let me dig out pics of the one I made my DD.
