Good morning! I am up early for a series of appointments this morning. Is anyone else's baby still breech? I started to spiral on ECV and success rates and such. I will ask at my appointment today but if my practice does ECVs at 37 weeks that means right at Christmas for me! My friend that had one was either induced or went into labor from the procedure so I can't believe that means I could have a baby in 3 weeks. Anyway, I will do Spinning Babies like crazy between now and then so hopefully it won't be an issue :-)

Good morning!! It’s my birthday. H is on a work trip so I’m cdlebrating myself with DD lol. Nothing like bribing a 2yo to sing HBD to you 😂😂 (“if you sing to me you can have a jelly bean!!”)
She has MDO this morning so I will get a few hours to myself to nap or whatever. I might walk around target by myself.

Happy Wednesday everyone! I love seeing everyone's bumps on Wednesdays. Mine is from Saturday (29 weeks) when we had family over to bake Christmas cookies and wore Christmas sweaters.

Good morning! G and I had a rough start. She wouldn’t eat a bite of her breakfast. I finally sat her in a chair and she ended up eating almost all of it. It only took a half hour of sobbing on the floor before hand. I am currently at the hospital waiting for a growth scan because of the GD. So far he has been right on track and not measuring big. This is new to me because G was measuring big from the very beginning. Guys I am having a baby in three weeks! 😮

Happy birthday dragonflyinn! I'm sitting here watching Unexpected (about expecting teen parents) when I should be grading papers. I wish I felt like I could be productive on campus because having two monitors is nice but my officemate is going through a really rough time (her 28 year old son died unexpectedly last month and her marriage is unraveling) and talks to me the entire time I'm in the office. I feel obligated to listen so I get nothing accomplished. I was up every 2 hours last night rotating from the bed to the recliner. Trying for the newborn phase right?

36w1d. RCS scheduled 3 weeks from tomorrow. And DD and DH this weekend. We are on day 10 of her diarrhea and are waiting for test results from the doctor. Good thing is she is acting fine and I’m good spirits aside from her butt being so raw And at the Christmas parade last weekend

Random question...how do you all feel about "meal trains?" The whole idea of them kind of annoys me, but let me explain.
I love the idea of helping out families with new families or those enduring hardships. What I don't love is the online sign-ups. It just seems forced to me and less genuine if I go to some website to see what all of the instructions are....I know, it is a good way to organize everything and have it in one place and so the family doesn't have to coordinate but still. It just doesn't seem personal to me.
Do any of you think your friends will set one up? I am secretly hoping nobody does for us, I'd rather just talk to people that want to help and see what they can do for us....it has been sort of common in my group of friends though. I think if someone suggests doing it, I will politely decline.

Amazon and Buy Buy Baby packages are arriving by the truckload today through the rest of the week!
Our maternity pictures are this afternoon and I'm headed out to get my hair done shortly...
Would it be bad to fire our contractor really close to the end of the bathroom remodel? I'm about to that point. Even though I know I told him that we wanted TWO corner shelves for our closet (to eliminate dead space in the corners) he only built one and then only thought we wanted one. Our closet is 10 ft wide by 5.5 ft deep. Why on earth would I only want ONE corner shelf built?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? He also said last week that we should be 100% done today, we aren't (closet shelf aside). He still needs to put door knobs on, install two doors, baseboards, vanity cabinets (the ones that will sit on the top of the counter), the mirror, floor thresholds, and the vanity backsplash, plus maybe some other things that I'm too angry to think about at the moment. Our new carpet is going in tomorrow so he won't be here at all tomorrow and I know he won't be able to finish everything up on Friday. Did I mention he was only here for about an hour today? He installed most (but not all) of our wall fixtures (towel hooks & rings, toilet paper holder, etc.) This is halfway through week TWELVE of a bathroom remodel... Whole homes get done in less time that it has taken him to do one room.

Only one person brought me food when DD was born so I’m all about it this time haha.

I will be utilizing grocery store delivery service for the first week or two that I am home. That way I can shop at home while I recover.

I think if someone suggests doing it, I will politely decline. Our church sets one up for new babies, deaths and surgeries. There is a committee that will sign up (so it doesn't go out to the whole church) and the family will get 8 meals spaced every other day. Most people bring enough for multiple meals, so we didn't have to cook for almost 3 weeks after we lost Ava. As long as it isn't the new parents blasting all over social media to "bring us food!" I'm 100% with an online signup. This way you don't have 2 meals delivered on the same day and you can post any food allergies or preferences on the site and everyone has the info.

easternshoregirl most of the meal trains here are set up through church/religious community or close family. I did not have one for either of my kids but one of my friends who had her first shortly before me complained about the inconvenience of people bringing her food (and got some major side-eye from me for it, but whatever). If people want to do it for you I think that is great and wonderful! Personally I just freeze some meals ahead of time and am gracious with myself after baby comes about getting takeout or doing easy crockpot meals :-)

Personally I just freeze some meals ahead of time and am gracious with myself after baby comes about getting takeout or doing easy crockpot meals :-) What is inconvenient about someone bringing you a meal you don't have to cook?!?! I also need to start putting some meals together (or at least entrees) for our deep freezer but I'm #lazy and have not put any real thought or planning into it. My Mom will be coming up and staying a few days after Faith is born and I know she will help out with meals (plus laundry, cleaning and whatever else needs done). She is also planning on taking some days off to make 3 days weekends or maybe take a few days mid-week to help out as I figure out how to keep a tiny human alive on my own. MIL will be coming up too but while she is sweet she doesn't seem like the type to jump in and do something that needs to be done. Her self-esteem is so low she would be too worried about doing laundry wrong, or loading the dishwasher different than I do. She would probably cook for us, but who knows...

I am currently doing skin to skin with L waiting on rounds. I should be reading the last book for my class but I am playing here instead. At least I have coffee! I was given a Starbucks gc and I have been spoiling myself everyday with coffee when I go see L. I guess that’s one good thing about living in WA is Starbucks everywhere including the hospital.

Happy Birthday dragonflyinn!!! Not much going on for me.....just working until I have an ultrasound at 1. Excited to see baby boy again but nervous he has grown too much and they will want to bump my section to christmas time. We also started at a new daycare last friday and I was SOO worried that D was going to have a tough time with the transition because he had been at the previous one since a year old. He actually has done amazing and LOVES it there. Like atually wakes up in the morning and tells me that he cant do any errands with me today because he has to go to play school and play with trains. So relieved and happy for him

So relieved and happy for him Our DS is starting a new one next week! Just temporarily while our day care provider is out on maternity leave. We've been for a couple of visits and he really seems to like it there so hopefully he does just as well when he is there on his own!
