@sportiegrl1213, hahahaha, no no no, keep them coming! I think we are all just ready to have these babies. I think we will miss the HDBD posts one day.
@krzyriver right???? patience is not our strongest suit it seems. LOL
@mrszoess OMG!!!!!!!!!! That's like HOURS away!!!!!
LOL I think so!! I'll keep them coming @annabenanna

HBDB fulfills my need for affirmation. I say we keep it around.
Speaking of keeping things around, I forgot to do a health and fitness check-in yesterday. I will put it up shortly. I've sort of given up on watching what I eat and any form of exercise, but I figured I'd keep up the weekly thread for those of you who want to continue and I thought it might be useful for postpartum diet and exercise. Thoughts?
All this talk of dental insurance is well-timed, as I had DS at the dentist this morning. He loves going, which is funny. I'm sure that won't last. Here's an AW photo.
I'll make sure it's up tomorrow! And @F47 I'm due the same week so I'll be right there with you!
Right now we are all ready to meet our LO's but everyone I know tells me that "you will miss the bump"

So, I'm "prepping" to go out - which includes "training" apparently anyone in my near vicinity to do my job. (I say "training" because I was basically instructed to give a crash course to like 6 different people - thanks for making my job feel like a priority in this firm.) Anyway, that being said, I do not have a hard job. It's just a lot of common sense and a lot of juggling to make deadlines and work with several different partners (all with crazy personalities). However, I have created a system to keeping order, and a method to achieving said system and now everyone is alllllll up in my business doing everything however they want. Everyone has their 2 cents to add and my over-hormonal self is getting SO RAGEY. I know I shouldn't care - after all, if my maternity leave had been any bit of a priority, they would have started making plans back in April/May, when I announced I was pregnant, to cover for me while I'm out. BUT, it's so hard to keep answering the stupidest questions over and over, and watch everything I've worked hard to create order out of the last 2 years just get all kinds of messed up. I've been trying to work right up until my due date, so as not to leave them in a total lurch (October - December is my BUSIEST time of year. Oops!), but now I just want to go out early and wash my hands of it all. Ugh, why do I care so much???
Is there even such a thing as maternity underwear that doesn't roll down? So annoying!
I just bought huge granny panties LOL they actually work wonders and go over my entire belly.

@RainMira9e If anyone implied that now would be a good time for
me to clean my oven vent I would probably go into immediate labor. If my
mother said it, fire would blow out of my ears and then I would go into
immediate labor.
I laughed so hard at this at my desk, that my boss walking by had to stop and I had to explain to him why I was laughing lol. Then he asked me if that's how I'm feeling, but then his phone rang so we didn't get to continue. I'm so glad he's so easy going that he doesn't care that I'm Bumping at work lol.

omg no. lol I want my body back SO BAD. But I think the fact that this is pregnancy #3 (inside of 2.5 or so years) has something to do with how I feel..
DH and I are thinking about getting a robotic vacuum. Does anyone have one? We need recommendations on a good one for pet hair or just a good one in general. We've been looking at the Neato D80, but would be open to pretty much anything under $500.
OK, so I don't participate in HDBD, but I NEED you to keep it around ... With an Oct. 31 due date, pretty soon I'm gonna require affirmation that I'm not that ONLY pregnant lady left on the board ...
I have been so productive today at work. Almost everything I HAVE to do before going out next week is done. Does this mean I'm going into labor sooner than later?! I haven't been motivated in months!

@ignoscemihi, agree with @serenaxo84, keep the weekly fitness check ins! I too, am dying to workout again. Like @NoraAurora, I'm dying to have my body back. (I've bought two belly binders, lol) and want to get all the spanx. Although caring about what I eat has gone out the window now.
My random is I just got an email with my absentee ballot! I kind of want to get out of bed and print it and fill it out right now (it's after 11pm). Once I send it I can officially peace out of American politics until November 9th.
@ignoscemihi yes! Keep it around for PP too! I am dying to start excerising and will need the motivation!!!
Agreed @ignoscemihi and @serenaxo84 I quit trying to exercise and eat healthy at the start of the 3rd tri but I've ordered programs to start postpartum
@mizzkbrat I audibly said "Aww!!" very loudly when I saw that picture (alone in my office)! She is so precious and that outfit could not be any more fitting. Love!
@books&icecream to be fair to her, I believe her intention is to do it herself - I don't think she expects me to! My annoyance can be petty when she comes over to help me with things and then does the things she thinks need to be done instead of the things I think need to be done.
I'm really jealous of everyone with a good going-home outfit. I have a couple of things to choose from in different sizes but nothing super special, since I didn't feel I could commit to either a size or something that I felt was meaningful.

@nlane0723 That picture of cuddling boys is the cutest thing I've seen in ages. I'm so glad you're all home. Good luck at the pediatrician!
