I have only purchased one present for the holidays so far & have no idea when the money to purchase more may appear or where from.

I'm leaving work early to get a prenatal massage and I'm not putting it in our absence system. HA!

I am almost hoping I get those contractions again because even though I know they’re nothing, I could call the OB and then they’d want me to come in, which means I’d need someone else here to watch H and DS and I could have a few hours in a hospital bed to sleep. Which all sounds so selfish but y’all I have been averaging 3 hours of broken sleep for a week now and I’m not sure how I can handle it all anymore.

@miss.sally Ugh I've been there and really hope you get some sleep. You will feel so much better if you could just get 6 solid hours!
@chichiphin OMG same. I just don't know what to get DH anymore. I don't have the energy, buddy. 
@lemonlove86 I support your decision! 

I went running yesterday and today at work and just straight up lied and said I was going to meet someone. 

varimama

@chichiphin I usually try to get DH surprises but i literally went right off his list this time, I couldn’t come up with anything! 

Not eating raw cookie dough was like literally one of the hardest things about this pregnancy (so I guess I shouldn’t complain lol). To make up for the though the amount of cookies and frosting consumed while decorating was beyond embarrassing.

Oh I have another one. I think DS is starting to self wean and I thought I’d be sad about it but I’m not really. I’m sure I’ll be sad after the last time but it hurts so bad when he asks to just snuggle instead I’m kind of relieved. He still nurses a couple times a day but they are getting further in between and shorter times.

@varimama with both my boys, I had to expedite the weaning process when I was pregnant because it was just too painful.  Both were naturally headed in that direction for the most part and took to it fine, so it was bittersweet in some sense, but the relief of not having the painful nursing sessions anymore outweighed that.

@miss.sally girl no shame in that game! I hope you get some sleep!

Since we’re confessing holiday gifts or lack thereof, I’m going very minimal for DD this year. I got her two puzzles, two books, and one dress. I asked my mom to get her big gift—Magnatiles (they’re hella expensive). I was going to get her a play make up, but I think I’m just going to wrap up some of my old make up brushes and lipstick I don’t use and gift it to her. 

Another confession: I do NOT normally do this, but since being pregnant I have peed in the shower a few times. It doesn’t matter if I pee before I get in. I still get the overwhelming urge to go!

silverhope

@kantobean lol. It’s your own shower, right? Pee away! A public would be not nice, but your house, your pee.

@varimama I was not sad at all when I weaned DS a month ago. I thought I would be, but it was time and there was no big to do. He and I were both done. My bump is getting too big to babywear him and that is gonna make me sad. I love babywearing him.

@miss.sally can you get some family help anyway? I am so sorry you have to shoulder all the responsibility for your kids and care for YH while he heals. You deserve a break and some sleep.

miss.sally

Thank heavens DS slept through the night last night and I was able to get 7 hours of sleep. I was still up every two hours to pee or to help H get up and move, but not having to go and get DS back to sleep was amazing. I feel like a new human today. Still tired. But much better and less emotional. Lol

EmilyLove25

@miss.sally YES for 7 hours! It makes SUCH a difference with my ability to handle things haha.
