I haven't mentioned anything here, but I found out earlier this week that I didn't get a job I interviewed for that I was sure I would get. I have been pretty upset. I have another interview this morning for a job that I didn't even expect to make it to this round for so we will see how it goes.
DH is off today too so DD1 has her zoo class this morning and then we are going to go cut our Christmas tree :-) I am so excited to decorate!

I'm sorry you didn't get the job, that sucks!
I'm off today and MIL is in town for the baby shower (tomorrow at noon). I've been registry stalking a bit (I can't help myself) and so few things have been bought from the registries and I'm a bit disappointed. I picked out the things we NEEDED and now I'm worried I'm going to end up with a ton of baby blankets and pink frilly dresses that we don't need. I sound selfish and horrible, I know. I'm sure the gifts will be perfect even if they are off-registry (some of my favorite wedding gifts were off registry) but I would rather have the diaper changing cushion thingy instead of a pink dress.

I think people legit wait until the last minute to buy gifts, so it’s possible people are shopping today or tomorrow morning. Also, most will hopefully give you a gift receipt so just exchange all the pink dresses lol.

Sorry about the job peachesncream! And aprilz81 I keep registry stalking too and I know what you mean. But I think helloerrbody is right and a lot of people really do wait until the last minute, so hopefully some more items get picked up today! Happy Friday everyone! I can't believe it's December already. 2017 went so fast! I have a question on swelling- when should I be worried about it? The past two days my feet got so swollen, and it doesn't go away overnight or if I try to keep my feet up. I feel it in my face some too. But I know swelling can be really normal too so I'm not sure when/if I should worry.

But most of what is on Amazon can be bought at BBB (just more expensive) so we will see... I need to focus on spending time with my friends and family who all love me and Faith and not on what they give me. Like I said, I know I sound horrible and selfish but it will all work out.

I did that with majority of stupid gifts I didn’t need or want and got store credit to get the stuff I actually needed. I felt kinda horrible doing it but also DGAF because the people who gave the original gift would never know haha

peachesncream Sorry about the job, but good luck on this next one! pinkcat I'm no expert, but I feel like a sudden onset of swelling is worth at least calling the doctor to see what they say. Probably normal, but still worth checking in about.

So sorry about the job @peachesandcream 😞 Good luck at the next interview!
Today is the day in my pregnancy that I had DS. WEIRD. So hoping for nothing crazy to happen! H knows this is a big day for me each pregnancy since, so while I was still laying in bed DS came in my room, said “Mom, keep doing your best and keep growing the baby!” Then ran away giggling yelling “Dad I told Mom what you said to say!”
I’m actually taking him to his first meeting with a speech pathologist so we’ll see how that goes! He has all the words and willingness to learn more, he just has kind of a lisp and troubles pronouncing R and L, and not always easy for other people to pick up on what he’s saying.
And my little partner in crime DD will just have to tag along and the three of us will be able to go out for lunch after.
HAPPY DECEMBER!!! Advent calendar day whoop!

If you have high blood pressure, migraine, spots before your eyes and/or pain in your upper abdomen that sort of wraps around to the side along with the swelling, then I would worry about possible pre-e. Other than that I think swelling is normal. But I am not a dr. Those are just the signs my dr told me to look for.

Have you been traveling at all recently?

aprilz81, people could also be getting you gift cards. I got a lot of gift cards at my shower and I got to pick what all I really needed from my registry to use them on.

I got a few things done today already. I paid some bills online and hung a picture in my living room. I have a million more things to do but for now I am content with watching some tv until G gets home. I just had my morning snack and I am curled up on the couch.

So happy it's Friday! And December! H is still working out of town during the weekdays so I'm excited to see him today! We have a fun weekend planned of holiday shopping, Christmas lights gazing and neighborhood exploring. We are having an open house on Sunday to hopefully sell our house. If we don't have an offer in the next week, I think we are just going to look at renting a house here.

peachesncream hugs. I'm waiting to hear about a job i interviewed for that I think I have a good chance at getting so I can really feel for you.. I'm terrified they will pass me over. pinkcat sudden swelling I'd call your OB for especially if it doesn't go away with rest. They may want to see you to check your BP, etc. Keep us posted! I am officially 2 months from leave and getting nervous we have only been able to interview one temp backfill so far. My DDs bday party is tomorrow and I have done none of the things. I'm going shopping for supplies at lunch, getting some balloons tonight, and in the am picking up some food trays from Costco. I am so tired that's about all I can muster.

Thanks everyone! I called and they are having me come in at 215. I feel silly because I'm sure it's nothing...but better to be safe than sorry I guess!

I am a weepy mess today. Freakin hormones. I cried watching Kathy Lee and Hoda (which I usually don’t watch) because they were doing a bit about giving people their entire shopping cart at Kohls for free. One couple had limited resources because the husband had lost his job. They were so happy to get gifts for people without having to worry. Then I was thinking about how G is only going to be an only child for 26 more days. I know that she won’t remember being an only child but I am still sad at the thought of losing that. The hormones need to calm down.

I am not much a cryer but here I am on the couch bawling while thinking about kissing my kid goodnight for the last time as an only child...almost a month from now.

At 34w with DD1 I was convinced I was going into early labor. Nope. BHX. My OB happily saw me and I was sent home and told to relax! Better safe than sorry!

I only got up twice last night to pee and woke up this morning in a pool of drool. So I guess I slept well! marygracerich, I am usually not emotional either but the thought of DD not being an only child and the fact that she doesn't really get it yet breaks my heart. I wish she would understand what is about to happen because I feel like she is going to be blindsided and feel left out.

I can’t stop spending money today. I’ve ordered: a 3 pack of SwaddleMe swaddles (on sale on amazon for $17, they’re the giraffe ones), Bamboobies overnight nursing pads, a 3 pack of nursing tanks, a name hat for LO to wear in his NB shoot, Big Brother Little Brother shirt/onesie, newborn diapers. I can’t stop.

I’m sorry peachesncream! That sucks. I hope the decorating cheers you up! aprilz81 the only thing purchased from our registry was the crib my parents got us. 😩 I hope your shower is amazing. 😊 pinkcat if it’s super sudden it’s worth a call. But like others have said, if you don’t have a headache or high BP you’re probably ok. You could always run to CVS or something and check your BP for peace of mind. Edit. I see you called. Better to be safe than sorry!

Like when I go into labor & call our friends who will come get DD...that moment of saying goodbye to her knowing I’m about to completely turn her world upside down. And other moms have told me that when they saw their firstborn again after delivering #2, that their oldest looked so much more grown up to them, even if it had just been a few days. I’m terrified of that feeling but also know that will be a super sweet moment.

I have been reading G the Daniel tiger book “the baby is here” to try and help her understand but she is 2 1/2 so I doubt it’s actually sinking in.
