Today is going to be a long day. I finally gave up on trying to sleep in bed and have moved to the couch. Hopefully I will eventually get some sleep...
In the meantime, it's a new day so let's hear some more randoms!

Re: Saturday Randoms
@KUinCBUS oh no, I hope your DH is okay and it's nothing serious.
@terberell happy baby shower day!
@Carebella I hope you get back to sleep.
I'm up because the dog was crying. I set my bread maker, the washing machine and the dishwasher all on the timers last night- makes me feel like a genius when I wake up to fresh bread and clean dishes and laundry! Having breakfast with DH and attempting to install the car seat. Then I'm going shopping with MIL while DH sleeps (he's working overnight).
Happy Saturday Ladies!
@annieroo13 fresh bread sounds fantastic
I am hoping some serious nesting kicks in today. My parents are taking DS for most of the day to go to a basketball game and Halloween party. I hope to clean and organize like crazy and not be a lazy bum.
@FhSTAR81 I hope the rest of Addison's day, and yours, goes well! It sounds like you both have some fun adventures ahead of you.
Now, he sleeps til 7-7:30, he wakes up in a good mood, and he just hangs out chatting with his stuffed animals for awhile before calling for us. Never never never have I appreciated peaceful mornings so much.
I'm just so grateful to have this little golden period before diving back into newborn world.
Sorry everyone else can't sleep! It really sucks. I use to love sleep and now I hate trying to go to bed.
@KUinCBUS very scary hope the drs figure it out.
@AnnieRoo13 I may have shot you eye daggers through the phone..pff laundry and fresh baked bread.. What are you.. a pregnant unicorn?
I agree with @FirstBabyDoyle - @AnnieRoo13 is a dang unicorn! Shoot, im proud of myself for getting DH to drive down to the local breakfast place. You are a domestic goddess my friend!!
2. While taking an epsom bath last night I got to thinking about how I will know "IF" my water breaks while laboring at home. I plan to spend alot of time in the bath laboring before heading to the hospital when the time is right. I am now irrationally worried my water will break while in the bath and I won't know it. They broke my water at the hospital last time so i have no personal reference to what it felt like to happen on its own. Ladies who's water broke on its on did you 'feel' it or was the wetness/liquid gush/trickle your only indication?
3. I have an Ergo Carrier but want to get a K'tan for when baby is smaller (first 6ish months or so) but I can't seem to pull the trigger on buying one because I am unsure if I should get a extra small or a small. My pre-pregnancy dress size was a 4 or 6 depending on brand so I am in between sizes. It says to size down if in between but I am obviously not going to be fitting in my pre-pregnancy size right after birth so I am afraid the XS might be too small to use right away. Such a FW Problem.....
Hubby wore earplugs to bed last night so my pregnancy snoring wouldn't wake him up, which means I got to keep snoring and he didn't wake me up--great night of sleep! Time for a scone and then being ambitious and heading to the gym. We'll see how long I last on the elliptical.
My blood pressure was a bit high for me yesterday (134/78) so I mentioned to the nurse that I had just had coffee and she acted like I said I just drank two bottles of vodka. Now hubby is concerned about it, even though the recommendation I've seen is under 300 mg/day and I only have 65 mg (one Nespresso pod). Thaankks nurse.
@KUinCBUS - glad your Dh is getting better and I hope you can figure out what it was easily.
Well, a 7 hour binge of "Call the Midwife" last night didn't get the message through to LO. Went to bed at 4:45am and cat napped for about 4 hours. Tried a walk this morning since it's finally gotten cooler and all it did was make my back hurt. Did help the swelling in my feet, though. Really thankful Floridians can wear flip flops any time.

Wait, What?!? - EDD 11/1/19
We have tickets to see Kevin James tonight and I really really want to go. Plus our maternity photos in an hour. Just need to make it through today and I can relax all day tomorrow...
And since I'm a dork, here's a pic lol
@KUinCBUS I hope your husband gets to feeling better!!! That sounds miserable!!
As for me, next to no sleep last night, and sharp back pain. My hubs is taking the kids and pup with him to run along the beach. So at least I'll have some time to myself and a quiet house for a couple hours. Later tonight were surprising the kids and taking them to Brick or Treat at Legoland. I'm excited to see their reactions!! We love Legoland and havnt been in a couple months, so I know they'll be stoked!
Now I just have to wait for my next 20% BRU coupon. I have a $25 dollar gift card so between the gift card and coupon I will only have to spend $15ish for it. Super Score!
Now for the important stuff:
Seriously ladies, who is this "Felicia" everyone says goodbye to? Is she from a trashy reality show?
Thank you for asking! I've been embarrassed to admit I don't know.
@KUinCBUS--I'm glad they were able to get your H in and out!
@JamieK1882--if you're worried, I'd call and see what the doctor says. It's what they're there for.
I am losing a ton of mucous plug (don't worry, no pictures!) and having "real" contractions. Hang in there until after Halloween, Artoo--big sister wants to trick or treat with mommy.
@JamieK1882 I hope you feel better soon! And I completely agree, the fire station checks are great! We learned a lot.
@Lilwatz - Love the nursery! Hope your LO starts putting on weight soon!
@smboswell1 - I feel you. I'm worried I won't know the difference. I get BH contractions pretty often but it's just a tightening and not painful. MFM told me if I think I'm in labor to go the hospital right away so they can switch my blood thinner meds and get the dosage straight before delivery. But I'm scared I won't know! And then I don't want to go running to L&D every time I get a cramp. Sigh . . . water breaking would be a definite sign and save me all the is it/is it not thoughts, if it were to happen before they decide to induce.
my happy boy
I added up the registry things I really need before the baby is born and got a gift card on CardPool (6 or 7% discount for BRU) for that amount. Then I made different wish lists on amazon for other things based on when I will need them (e.g., order once baby is born, order at 2 months, etc.). Some things, like a high chair, we really won't need for a number of months so postponing costs is pretty feasible.
Hopefully tomorrow we'll get the front door and side doors put it. So hopefully no labor then either!
Then I find myself crying today because why wont he come out, even though I'm only 37+4 (and after that thread yesterday, I feel shitty for wanting him to come early), but I'm 100% effaced and doc said any time now and my contractions slowed and stopped yesterday for the first time in a month so I feel like we're making backward progress... And how crappy is it that I'm just about equally looking forward to resuming antidepressants and meeting my son for the first time? 11+ more days til I can start meds & start feeling like a human again, and it just feels like a lifetime...
Anyways, I'm sorry for rambling, I guess I had a lot more to throw out there than I thought, thanks girls for always being there to listen.
I'm having a down day too. Been in bed and trying not to cry at everything. Might go for a walk to distract myself, but I have to write a brief. I'm generally pissed that I have to do a ton of brain work before baby, I'm not up to it mentally and I just want to relax. Like if I could go read a magazine in the sun, that would be the best.
I miss my cat. (we sent him to camp at my inlaws for the next few weeks). Could really use his company today.
I've also been having those mild period cramps we all seem to speak of and don't know what to make of them. I did read on some .co.uk health site that the more work your uterus does now, the shorter labor you will have. Take that with a gram of salt (see what I did there)
