DH has his first day of work tonight at a new job (laid off about 5 months ago) and I couldn't be more excited to have the house to myself. Like, I am super pumped. Not gonna miss having him there 24/7 one bit.
I still get really sad about Heath Ledger's passing. He was my favorite growing up.
And the big one, we still haven't named this kiddo yet. We both have names we like, but neither of us can seem to commit. I'm not one of those people who can handle just waiting til the baby is born. I need to have things nailed down and buttoned up, and it's killing me.
Well, I am excited to think this baby may be here sooner than expected!
I am on the Makena injections but I only have 3 shots left. Doctor told me at my last appointment that after that last shot I will go at any time soon after (due to the preterm labor crap I will likely go within a week or two but we never know). While yes I want baby to cook as long as possible, he did give me the green light after the last injection to have all the sex and go for lots of walks to get baby out! After last night's battle with being uncomfortable, weepy and moody, I am so ready to have baby out and have my body back!
February Siggy Challenge- Post pregnancy indulgences
My boss hasn't asked me about my maternity leave, but assumes I will be back afterward. I don't know how to tell her that I won't be back. I was just hired in October.
I want baby to cook as long as physically possible.
Not because I want him to be healthy (which obviously I do, but that's not the reason) or because I just love being pregnant (sub fffc I really don't mind it....) but because I am SCARED AS HELL TO HAVE A BABY. Everything about it freaks me out. The whole baby thing, our lives changing being responsible for another life, taking care of someone other than myself. EEEKKKKKKKK I can't believe I am ~2 months away from that.
Instead of cleaning the house while DD napped, I sat on the couch eating Cheetos and watched 3 hours of Ally McBeal on Netflix. No regrets. I did do 2 loads of laundry this morning though, so at least I was partly productive!

Don't say anything until the end of your leave so you can get full benefits.

I would seriously forget to take my prenatal vitamin EVERY DAY if I didn't have a reminder set on my phone. I never had a problem remembering to take it at night, but ever since my OB recommended I start taking it at lunch instead to cut down on nighttime heartburn, I just can't for the life of me remember. Thank goodness for tech assistance!

This just hit me last night. I'm such a laid back person but the baby nerves have set in.

Same here. DH has his pick and I have mine, but who knows when we'll reach a compromise. Gross.
My FFFC: I ate two (junior) burgers for second supper last night. No regrets.
I want to cut hours when I come back from maternity leave. I only work 20 hours a week now (although it usually ends up being around 24, with a couple of late night "volunteer" hours to get paperwork done for my own sanity). I work with a tight-knit team of therapists and one of them asked me point-blank the other day if I was coming back from leave, and if I was coming back to my regular hours. I lied, but I think she suspects....
ETA: I also sent DH out for Culver's concrete mixers tonight. A zillion sinful calories in a cup, but oh so worth it.
DH has been gone since Monday, out of state. He got back less than 6 hours ago and I already want to punch his stupid face. He has complained about: getting his daughter food, playing with her, brushing her teeth, and threw a toddler sized hissy fit when I wanted to move the bedroom furniture so that my side of the bed isn't up against the wall anymore. I'm sick of having to climb over him and the dog to pee at night. He actually got frustrated enough while helping me that he threw the fan against the wall. I kicked him out and finished the job myself. Now I'm laying in bed all BH-y and trying not to rage text him to go eat a bag of dicks.

I am so glad I am not the only one. Phew.
I think I've taken 10 this whole pregnancy, glad I'm not alone.
I'm on the same page with the "stay in as long as possible" group. I have ZERO desire for him to be here before his due date though my reasoning is because my Mom and I do taxes and I am in enough "trouble" for having a March baby, the last thing I need is a February baby! Plus I have a friend that is due 5 weeks ahead of me and has basically been doing everything in her power to get him out early which frustrates the crap out of me! I get that we are all uncomfortable and can't wait to meet our little's but there is no discomfort in the world that could make me want him to come early.
@kayla.short what is wrong with a March baby, tax-wise? Just that it's not a December baby and eligible for a deduction yet?
Add me to the list of people who constantly forget to take a prenatal. I also forget to drink enough water. My nails are in rough shape, I really should be better about both.

I think it's because they actually do taxes so it's their busy season!
@kayla.short I hear ya with year end stuff. I work for government and our year end is March 31, convienently my due date. I'll likely be written off work the start of March due to SPD (I can't even stand on one leg now to put on my shoes!) but it's still annoying. I'm tying up our forecasting in mid-Feb for the person taking over my job. It'll be interesting for my group!

Exactly @flowerpower5838! @kitteh81 We both work for H&R Block so January - April are our busy times. The end of January and all of February are awful! March is ok and then April sucks again. So just a really busy time that isn't ideal for being in labor and wanting my mom there...plus my SIL works the front desk there too and I don't even want her to know I am in labor so it's just a fun game of stress and 12 hour work days at 9 months pregnant!

Definitely not ideal! But go figure, we had taken a break from "trying" in an attempt to skip tax season due dates and my body went all bat shit crazy and skipped periods and ovulated late so BAM March baby here we come! I will take it though, can't wait to meet our little man!
