I've been binge watching sex and the city.

That will be me on spring break next week!

Speaking of, when I mentioned having spring break next week (I'm also due next week) my doctor asked "Fun!  Are you going anywhere?".  She immediately laughed at her mistake but I was like, "uhhh, what??"

What is it about being pregnant that makes it impossible to eat without making a ridiculous mess?

Sometimes I feel like I could feed a family of four with the amount of food my boobs catch

And then the belly and boobs start itching from tiny crumbs!

Took myself out to lunch at my favorite Mexican restaurant. Fully intend on pigging out!

It's scary that we're not even in April yet and we're all so totally done, lol.

THIS.

I had an appt today and although I KNOW deep inside I want the baby to stay put and keep cooking and I have a month left, I was secretly like "maybe I'll go in and she'll be like 'we are having the baby today!'"  It didn't happen.  The baby can't pop out of my 1/2 cm dilated vagina I guess...

mrscrcalli

Please give me all of this!!!

I've been going to bed in a soft bra every night, because we've had workers at our house every morning when I get up. I either have to answer the door for them or they are outside and our home is a fishbowl with an all glass pivot front door. (It's secluded and private from the street, but not when people are in our yard, as they have been.)

 Anyhow, last night I didn't put a bra on specifically thinking I don't have to because the work is done and there's not throngs of men outside anymore. So OF COURSE this morning I wake up to the dogs barking and I step out into the living room and there's someone at the door, some guy coming to fix something on the gate, that my husband didn't tell me about. 

 I've been sleeping in the guest room because of my snoring. I really need to make a habit of keeping a robe near the bed, since I don't have access to my closet in these situations.

Great appt today! Measuring 48weeks and only 1 cm dilated, due to the boys fighting over who will come out first (oh great). My cervix is still super high so my OB is confident I can make it to my induction date at just over 38w! I am super excited I can hopefully make it that long. These boys need to cook!

mrscrcalli

Omfg!!!

@mrscrcalli‌ yummmm! Triple that fudge and it would be perfect! You enjoy that.

Got out of the shower this morning and leaked milk all over!! Yay! My supply is up! I love the feeling of pumping it's like massaging sore muscles! It hurts so good!

Also I have 4 pouches stored in the freezer! My body is finally doing it's job!

It's the small things in life now!

DH just posted a new profile pic of himself looking all skinny--he lost 50lbs for our wedding and is now a men's medium. Gained some sympathy weight while I was losing 40lbs in my first trimester--I'd basically eat two bites of dinner, get nauseous, and he'd eat the rest for me. But he lost it all again and everyone is liking his photo. I shouldn't be jealous, and I'm still down like 15lbs from pre-preg weight, but dammit, this belly is frustrating sometimes. I'll never be as small as him, but I feel like a beached whale. I can't wait to be able to go walking and swimming again!

I can sympathize @stace0616! My DH is a skinny man - he's the same height as me, but the man wears a size small or medium.  As my mother once said (it was funny, not mean at all) "I'm built like a brick shithouse!" Even at my skinniest, I still generally outweigh DH by a good 20+ lbs, and staying that size is damned near impossible for me. That and the fact that he can eat like a college frat boy still makes me crazy. I just figure it's part of the price I'll have to pay for having a decent rack - a pair D's have to weigh at least 15 lbs amiright?

Holy god I just realized that if I go up to E's or so, that could mean my boobs will weigh something like 25+ lbs? :-O

I know, right? It was skewed a little bit though because carter started to ball up and stick his cute little bottom up. It helps make me feel better for having a harder time tying my shoes and getting out of the car...

I WILL shower today. I WILL shower today... I may need to break my non-HDBD streak to prove that it happened.

Once I finally got in the shower, I wanted to live there for the rest of the day. The water on my back felt SO GOOD with this stupid upper body rib pain! I just leaned against the wall and stood there under the water until it ran cold. This makes me very hopeful that the shower in the labor room is going to be my friend when the time comes.

GRRRRRR....This week has been INSANE. We've been up till the very wee hours of the morning doing all kinds of projects to get our house ready to sell. It's technically not even listed till Friday but we've somehow managed to do four showings already. It's constant cleaning and finding a place for the dogs and leaving the house for hours looking for shit to do, right now I'm sitting in a random parking lot! I thought I'd be able to go home and strip down naked and take a fucking nap but my daughters friend wanted her to come over for an entire hour and a half (wtf?) and I have to turn right back around and get her because this girls mom has "SO much going on." Are you kidding me? Why do I always have to drive to and from play dates, and how the hell do you always have SO FUCKING MUCH TO DO?! Bitch, every time I see you, your house is a mess and you're wearing the same damn sweats!!! Pointless rant but I figure I gotta get it out.

@P&B715 - Do you have any mesh/bra bags? I wash the little socks/mittens in those and then they don't get lost. Then I put one sock/mitten inside the other one and voila! Done!

Stace0616

Shower done. Felt sooo good--hot water, Spice Girls Pandora station blaring. I even shook my hips to the beat a little. I think LO didn't know what to do with himself with all that belly shaking!

Still trying to get up the energy to put clothes back on though. I have a deadline--going to Olive Garden at 7pm with a friend. WTF? Yet another random pregnancy craving. Bring on the unlimited breadsticks and keep them coming!!

My yoga instructor (who is also a doula and lactation consultant) is offering her Breastfeeding class after our practice for free for the next three weeks! I'm really excited, she's been great at helping us prepare for labor. The last class is a day after my due date. Now I need this kid to stay in there for that long!

I feel your pain about the showings. I get so aggravated when we have showings because I have to load up the dog and find something to do for an hour. I live out in the countryside so there's isn't much around! Andplusalso, it seems everyone wants to do their walk-through in the evening around dinner time. So annoying.

I would kill for some veggie lo mein and egg drop soup right now.

Oh I know. Today I had to drive home and sit in my car to pick my daughter up from the bus at 3pm, drop her off at a friends house and then go sit in my car somewhere until 4:30 to pick up my son, then go drive somewhere else to sit in my car some more...By 5pm, you should really be getting on up out of my house or making an offer. I've literally done nothing in my car all over town, for 5.5 hours.

I get irrationally annoyed when someone outside of the RTT starts threads or gives an opinion. I wish I could block her.

Bees Everywhere

I bought paint today and the woman asked DH if this was for the nursery (no it's not) they chit chat and since she had a toddler before her last c/s I mentioned that's one reason I'm hoping to avoid a c/s this time. Well she starts telling me all the risks with trying that like rupture etc and how she had a friend that "split totally open- totally from front to back" so c/s was better.

FFS where the shit do these people come from. Thanks for the paint and the mental scars, bitch.

When I sit on my yoga ball I pretty much just dick around. Do you do something special?

Hip circles with feet planted wide- 10 in each direction. Lots of swaying side to side and front to back to help baby get in position!

Hamburger helper is calling my name. (Not sure why, but I could commit a crime for hamburger helper lately) And DH won't leave work for another hour! He may have to reheat his dinner.....

I think the thing I already don't like about little laundry is little socks. Can't my kid just go barefoot???

I already managed to lose a tiny sock in my driveway after my shower. I found it the next morning leaving for work and now it sits in my car's center console.  I don't know how I'll manage to keep track of those things.

I brought 6 cookies to work today, 3 for after lunch and 3 for a snack in the afternoon when I start to get grumpy.  Well....I ate all six at lunch, I couldn't stop myself, and now I desperately need something and have no snacks!!!   Wahhhh!!

You can not go wrong with Hamburger Helper! The cheeseburger one is my favorite and lately I want it once a week and then eat the left overs for days! Ketchup makes it even better!

Cheeseburger is my favorite! And that's what I made! I realized if I eat before him he won't know how much there was so I can eat more!

DH and I are eating like total kids tonight.  On the menu is fish fillets from a box and mac and cheese from a box.  Probably won't even eat veggies either.

Oh my god, she's only 6 days old and I have baby socks everywhere already. They don't stay on so I'm finding them everywhere!

That's ok!  I would have eaten all 6 of them by 10 a.m.
