@kvh22 that's what infuriates me, I've don't almost everything I can. I've asked nicely, I've Been nice, made lists, I've nagged. He just has the thought process of, oh we have x amount of weeks left before your c section". Dude, he could come early. I'm measuring 3 weeks ahead which doesn't mean anything but I am getting more and more turtle like by the day. Now that I have gotten it cleared out, he can at least hang stuff
In Nesting Mode today, apparently. Started my morning by taking DS to get his 2 year bloodwork done, then went to DD for our weekly breakfast date. Finished packing my hospital bag, minus the last minute stuff, and did all of our laundry, folded, ironed, and put it away. Got out all of our gender neutral clothes, swaddled, blankets, and burp clothes and am washing those now. When DS wakes from his nap, hopefully he's willing to help me put it all in the nursery. Dinner will be on the table with DH gets home. Hubby better not bitch and moan tonight about how useless I am. Today's accomplishments give me a free pass tomorrow to lay on the couch and relax lol.

@SouthernMama15 & @kristenk727 love it! There's some kind of science behind the urge to nest during pregnancy. +1 for wanting everything done in case the little one comes early. I want to spend the last month of this pregnancy reading and sewing cute things for the baby in my free time and guilt-free enjoying our weekends again.
@aeholden-2 i do have a BRU, but I checked and they don't seem to have those classes. The ones that are further away have them but for some reason the one close to us doesn't

Mommy to a super cute havanesse puppy and baby boy!
@littlebug2010 I am just catching up on this and seems like you've got it all figured out, but wanted to second la leche league from a local perspective. Not sure what is convenient for you, but there is one that meets monthly in Jamaica Plain and another in Waltham that meets twice a month. I am near the one in Hingham, and have a lot of friends who are leaders/participants, but have never actually gone. I did go to a class at Harvard Vanguard before giving birth to my first, but as others have said I didn't find it incredibly helpful. I probably should have gone to la leche league after my first at the very least as I suffered through pain for like 6 weeks. Great to make mom friends too I imagine! Also, I've read two great articles on Facebook this week as well that I am going to go share on the breastfeeding thread. I agree that this group will be super helpful!
As for my random, I have a 15 year old mini schnauzer whom we took in 4 years ago when his elderly owner died. He has had heart and kidney disease the whole time, but I have a love affair with elderly animals. He has had on and off digestive problems, but we had recently begun treating him for an intestinal condition and he was doing really well. On Thursday night he started all kinds of stomach distress and this weekend he stopped eating/drinking for the most part. I have an appointment at 10:20 today to say goodbye
@donehue thanks. I saw the meetings in Jamaica Plain and Waltham, but they are both a bit of a pain to get to, but I might just suck it up and go. New mommy friends who are local cant hurt, either!
Im so sorry about your dog! I cant even imagine having to do that. Ill be thinking about you and your pup today.

You know you're pregnant when you're jealous of your DH asking if you have loose stools because he does. No, Honey, I'm still constipated. Thanks for asking!

@donehue - I'm so sorry...I can't imagine losing any of my pets right now. You're awesome for taking him in and I'm sure, giving him a good home & care. **hugs**
@bumpybump - hahaha - we were walking the dog and the dog took two poops while we were out. As DH is picking up the second one, DH looks are me a goes "are you jealous" lol. Yep - yep actually I am.

@donehue I'm so sorry about your dog. I can't even fathom the idea of saying goodbye to my sweet Zoe LeBear. I cry just thinking about it. I'm very sorry
My random is that my coworkers surprised me with a baby shower this morning! It was so nice! and they gave me a $200 Amazon gift card and a company onesie!
@tova24 I 2nd (?3rd, 4th?) what everyone is saying. I would get some recommendations from around town about who the best family lawyer is and meet with them. I have experience with this with my DH. For years, he put this off, but when we finally did it, it ended up costing <$5000 (over 3 years), and we have everything we want as far as legal rights. It's so overwhelming to start the process, but I really wish we had been more proactive because it would have saved us so much heartache (and time). If you pursue the legal part, then you will be able to know the status of all the family members and not just wonder for years what might happen. Once you get the legal paperwork, usually the state won't let anyone make changes for 3-5 years, so you would have a few years of peace.
@kvh22 Haha. I just saw 100+ tshirts and I LOLed. When I got married, my DH had >300 t-shirts. I gave him 75 hangers and told him that was all he could have, so if one comes in, another goes out. And he has gradually reduced them. It took (literally) years. So weird. I think I own 3 t-shirts.
@donehue I am so sorry that you are going through that.
My random for today (maybe more of a FFFC) is that a friend of mine asked for the name of a bottle of wine I used to always buy. I had completely forgotten about it and now it is all I can think about-- I may or may not have looked into having a case shipped to me. I think I know what I want for a "push present" lol
In a way, I want to make him pay child support. Landon is his child too! But then I think of how terrible they all are. Today I blocked them from seeing all my social media accounts including LinkedIn!
@emilyrose807 I'm impressed you got him down to 75 from 300!! I took DH's tshirts out of the nursery dresser since I was organizing the baby's clothes finally...some of them still have the tags on them and are for baseball players that are no longer in the majors (and were only good for one year). I don't know if he's ever thrown away a t-shirt in his life. I'd say 90% of them were free and the rest are concert and sports tshirts or the occasional ironic shirt. Luckily (maybe?) his arms are long so he rips the elbows in at least one dress shirt a month so those naturally get pared down
Today is our wedding anniversary and DH has yet to acknowledge it. His mom was going to babysit tomorrow night so we could go to dinner and now she's sick. We have 5 weeks left till LOs arrival and if one more person tells me to "postpone" our anniversary, I'm going to scream.

@SouthernMama15 Ugh, people are the worst. My husband and I are thinking of celebrating a month early since our anniversary is on August 30th. You deserve a nice date night.
@SouthernMama15 Happy Anniversary!! Hopefully DH has a special surprise up his sleeve, because you definitely deserve a nice date night. Is there anyone else local that could watch your son so you could go out?
@SpotConlon and @kristenk727 thanks! We celebrated early when I was pregnant with DS because he was born exactly one week after our anniversary. It's always tricky timing it around his birthday. DH has a couple aunts that live nearby that might watch him if we asked, but one always lets him eat and drink stuff he's not supposed to have and watch Spongebob. The other one has health issues and hasn't been feeling great lately. I wish we lived closer to my family.
I ordered the rest of the stuff leftover on my registry and now my dogs are freaking out at all the packages being delivered. This is a fun way to spend my day.
Yay, my office held a baby shower for me this afternoon. I thought something was up when my boss explained the reason for the "meeting" we were having and it didn't jive.
There is officially an office pool now for date and weight. I'm due 8/3 and wagers are as early as the 20th of July and as late as Aug 16. God help me if I go to Aug 16.
@SouthernMama15 happy anniversary! Hope DH does something nice. This is our 1 year anniversary this year and I have no clue how this is going to go since I'm getting induced a couple days beforehand. On the bright side, maybe we'll get to open one of our wine bottles from our honeymoon last year!
I had my 34 week appointment today. Super uneventful but my Dr said she would like me having bowel movements at least every other day....ummmm ya. Me too Dr...but that's not happening.
I'm doing EVERYTHING possible that I can to help improve this but she still felt the need to tell me this. Insert eye roll here. (this relates to everyone saying they are jealous of dogs, husband, and babies pooping more than them)
So remember that coworker who wouldn't stop touching me at work? Today she was bragging to a new hire about how she drives a Lexus and never realized it is payday because she has money in the bank. I'm driving out of the parking garage leaving work and I see that her Lexus won't start. Karma. My admin later calls me and tells me how she called Lexus and they told her she needs a new transmission. No more money in the bank. Karma.
I just found out today that my work is celebrating baby boy today with a carry-in. I have no idea if there will be gifts or not. I don't care, I just know there will be tons of yummy food. I want to go taste test everything right now.
Is anyone else having so much pain it is unreal? I am taking Tylenol day and night for several days now. This can't be normal. Is it? It like my internal organs hurt.
@emilyrose807 the pain is so unreal! I've ran marathons and done some stupid shit back in the day (broken tailbone, cracked ribs, concussion, etc) and none of it compares to this! When I tell my dr, he tells me "it's all part of the process." This process is painful! I just want to cry and eat ice cream.
Not really sure where to put this.... Any mom's choose to not have their sons circumcised in the hospital? Did you have to make it real clear to the hospital to not circumcise your son? I'm Jewish and will be having a bris, but I have this fear(probably irrational) that they'll take my son away and circumcise him in the hospital without my consent.
