So tomorrow is the big day! Since we are scheduled for the CS tomorrow, I am feeling like today is my last day of freedom. I breathlessly said "Oh my! What am I going to do today?!" and MH helpfully suggested I vacuum the living room, clean the kitchen, put away our son's clothes...oh, and he took 2 driving gigs today so he is going to be gone all afternoon. Please say a prayer for the man that he survives until tomorrow because I believe it will only be by the grace of God that I do not kill him.
At this point he's lucky you have such a great relationship with God because it might seriously be the only thing that saves him.
If I had a superpower it would be to know which way this baby was positioned. I am 80% sure I know where the feet and bottom are but it still is such a mystery. WHY ARE YOU SO HIGH BABY?!?
Anyone else feeling like their body is failing them? This morning I was out with my DH and my folks - they bought us the last stuff for the nursery - and after being out for a mere 3 hours, I started sweating buckets and felt super dizzy. I am sure this is not abnormal, I mean I am very pregnant, but not being able to do all the stuff I want to is starting to really get me down. Anyone else?
Yes! This, exactly. I am so used to being independent and doing for myself that relying on DH over the past few months was adjustment enough. When I could barely walk the two blocks to BBB yesterday, and then was completely wiped and in back/foot pain the rest of the day from spending 30 mins there, well... that was super depressing. It's pretty out! I want to take a walk! And I can't.
YESSSS except, the servers might crash so I might end up watching tomorrow instead. They crash every year with the first episode of the season and I don't have it on my TV.

We will watch it tomorrow evening! We are ahead of you by a couple of hours so we will only be able to get it tomorrow. Hope this season is more entertaining than last season!
@Charissadeats yup, yesterday I took two long naps after a full night of sleep, and still felt completely exhausted. I called my mom to complain and then cried for a long time and then watched tv all night. It was supposed to be cleaning day but apparently I'm just useless. And I have 5 weeks left!

How do you watch it, on the computer?
Yep, we get free HBO access from our friend beggars can't be choosers
Friday my doctor told me to stay laying down for the weekend to try and get my swollen feet under control. So yesterday I had mandatory overtime for work so couldn't have them up so I told DH that today I was going to actually take it easy. He's been so amazing taking care of all the household needs this weekend! I think I may need to find more reasons to be layed up
My dh has done a great job of knocking off things on our to do list. He is so excited about everything. I on the other hand am more nervous and anxious. Figure once I get the house "clean" enough maybe I can settle down. I was instructing my poor ten year old on how to properly wash walls and realized really he should go to lunch with his Dad. Give them a break since I've been on this must clean all the things streak.

I'm there with you guys. I'll be 36 weeks tomorrow and slowly but surely I can hardly walk (SPD or some variation of that I'm guessing). Now that I feel pretty useless I'm starting to realize that I don't have much done for this baby on top of trying to keep up with 3 very active kids.
I'm so over it. I feel like crap. I've done my damndest to avoid fast food the majority of this pregnancy, but after a rough morning I told my husband I need a cherry limeade and a large tot from sonic. When he got back, I was so disappointed. I thought we're in the middle of a super size obesity epidemic?! I was expecting a large to be bucket size. Sonic needs to take a page from the other fast food places. That's a pathetic excuse for a fast food large tot. My husband watched in horror as I laid here inhaling tots ranting that I need more tots. I'm a monster.

@that1didntcount I asked my doctor on Thursday about feeling her so low when I walk, but then when I lay down, I feel her in my upper ribs. She looked at the ultrasound and told me that the baby is head down and where she needs to be. Right then I felt a rib kick. It's entirely possible your baby is head down and low but long enough to kick and stretch to make you think the baby is higher.

Same. DH said I hadn't dropped at all (amongst other people) and I can still feel LO in my rib area. Doctor said baby was so low he couldn't do a speculum exam and that once labor starts its gonna go fast. Might just have a long baby and shorter torso?
I get really annoyed at the actors on the Blue Buffalo pet food commercials. They are all so outraged when the BB guy reads off the ingredients in their pet food. One woman says "imagine if people knew this!!"
Ummm......read the label. This is not hard. Or new. It's all there under "ingredients."
The amount of plastic tags and packaging on baby clothes/blankets/etc. is obnoxious. I literally just spent almost an hour removing things from packages just so I could start the baby laundry. I'm now sweating and out of breath. Lol.
Also, this child has more clothes than I do and will never be cold.

DD's birthday party was today and I've spent the last 3 hours tearing toys out of packaging. That's a lot of work!

I had a frozen cherry limeade last night that washed down the order of chili cheese fries I got from Sonic. I agree. The sizes were a bit disappointing.

@dsmith211 agreed! My mom came over and helped me undo all of LO's clothes from the shower to wash and organize. It took us over an hour! I loved going through all of the cute outfits again but dang, so many of those little tag holders to take off and everything is wrapped in plastic!
Good luck tomorrow @laurenmdrn16 !! Thoughts and prayers for a great experience this time around and for healthy Luna and mommy. Can't wait to see and hear all about it.
Between lurking on April and being a part of the May group the last few days has been filled with babies!!! I love it! It is getting me excited to meet my little one even though I still have a while to wait. Anyone else loving this?
Why can't my cravings be for healthy things, like vegetables and lean meat. All I want is Brownie Earthquakes from Dairy Queen and mountain dew - which I normally never drink!
