Could they make L&D hospital gowns harder to put on?! I had to get monitored yesterday after a super minor fender bender and if DH wasn't there too I would have had to ask for help. It was my first time in a hospital and the gowns took me completely by surprise. Also, he lasted all of 15 minutes before needing a snack, so I'll have to add more to the hospital bag.
@babybison I'm glad it was a minor fender bender! I'm guessing everything is okay with you and baby? I hope so!
I did not want to come to work this morning. I just want to nest now that our showers are over. Lol. Buut I've been here for two hours and spent most of that time rearranging what's left on our registries and making a big Target registry purchase with our completion discount.
@babybison I'm glad it was minor! I hope you're all okay.
@MJDsquared I do not want to be here either. But I am also not ready to be home alone spinning my wheels yet. Especially since I don't know yet if I'll have this job to come back to after maternity leave, and the idea of not coming back to my team makes me super sad. But... I am super unfocused and could be napping right now.
I am trying to actively think of positive things about pregnancy that I will miss some day because I've been sort of wallowy/self-pitying for the past couple days as all the forbidden holiday treats start appearing in grocery stores and our communal break room and I get progressively more uncomfortable in every possible sitting/standing/lying conformation. So here goes: * I'm one of the lucky few -- pregnancy has basically killed off my allergies (except food ones) so I've been able to breathe through my nose for the past 6 months and I will miss that. * I will also miss feeling like my weirdly shaped body is actually proportionate for once (this broad-shouldered + long-torso thing I hate has come in handy), because I think I've had the healthiest body image (for me) of this decade during my pregnancy. * I will miss feeling like a superhero when I continue to be capable and do things long after I expected to be physically unable to. Example: We're putting up a consistent 10K+ step count every day and I'm 36w+3d. * Feeling smug when the baby kicks my OB right after my OB has said something that implies the baby cannot possible react to whatever stimulus is being applied. * Watching DH get progressively more excited about impending parenthood, because it's freaking adorable.
@MJDsquared@kyrwyn Everything is good, and I felt fine. Just shaken up. But sometimes the placenta detaches from the uterus I guess so they have to check for that. And I can't be motivated for my admin work either so I'm on medela's breastfeeding university.
@babybison glad everything is okay!!! I had such a hard time with those gowns cause nothing was buttoned right so thankfully the nurse helped me out or i would've begged not to go in one just to be monitored.
Although, it did get my butt in gear to do my hospital bag cause my phone was about dead and i had no charger to give people updates so i now have all bags packed and in my trunk
@MJDsquared Omg girl, yes. I do not want to be at work right now because of this huge nesting urge! And I hate it because I have to put in a bunch of energy and focus here to the point where there is none left when I get home. It blows. I would love to take a few days off and channel what minimal energy I have into getting things ready.
@kyrwyn Yessss I love how excited DH is to be a dad! It's so cute. But I'm also excited to see him actually be a dad! @whiska I'm sure after work today all I'll want to do is sit around (especially since I have to go to the grocery store too). We don't have any plans this weekend, so I'm hoping I can just be a shut-in and get SO MUCH done!
Ugh, you guys. I feel like I only come here to bitch about my life lately.
Last week I was woken up at 12:50am Sunday night/Monday morning to a neighbor's tree taking down our power lines. Last night at 12:50, I woke up to the sound of DH falling in the bathroom. He must have gotten food poisoning last night (even though we ate almost the exact same dinner), and apparently while he was in the bathroom he broke out in a cold sweat, got dizzy and nearly fainted when he stood up. I opened the door to see him lying half in the tub, surrounded by the pulled-down shower curtain, his face a horrible shade of grey & eyes bleary. Luckily he managed not to hit his head, so I somehow got him up and out of the tub and eventually back into bed, but he's still super sick today.
And of course, today was our baby shower at work. He Skyped into it while I opened presents, but he looked nauseous the whole time and went back to bed while we all ate cake. (The shower was lovely, though, I'm so grateful to both of our groups for putting together a really nice event.) But now I'm supposed to sit here & care about work while he's at home sick. Blah.
After these last 2 weekends, DH & I agreed that it's probably safe to say we know what time & day I'm going to go into labor...
I was also so nervous with my first load of baby clothes! I was so afraid I'd ruin all of it! Luckily I didn't. Now I've got it all washed and about 2/3 of it put away.
But I can't lie, my mom is here so she did most of the laundry.
@babybison glad all is OK! I also had a minor fender bender and had to be monitored (all good here) , so I know it can be nerve wrecking! I thought it was neat to see my contractions on the screen and how it compared to what I felt.
