I have a friend due on 10/20 and another due on 10/24. If Nicole was in DC, I'd say all of them were snow storm babies! LOL. At least yours and the 10/20 one are! Haha. The time will fly. I suggest you go out to dinner with DH as much as you can now!!! Enjoy each other!!! :-)

Take some time to sleep and pamper yourself, too!  Get your hair done, get a mani+pedi, massage, etc.  You'll be glad you did!

This! I sure was glad I did it  Are you taking time off before your EDD?  I had 3 weeks off which was almost too much but enjoyed every single moment, until the last few days when I was starting to get restless  But yes, sleep in, get a pedi/mani and enjoy these days to the fullest.  I am SO excited for all of you guys!

SLEEP IN while you can!! Oh and you don't need much for the hospital. I took bare necessities and I was fine. I went into labor at 35 weeks and packed my bag fully 2 days before I gave birth because "I felt like it". DH made fun of me until I was ready to go into labor and he said "wait we need to pack" and I said "honey it's all packed, let's go!" The days will fly by!

Oh and another suggestion, stock up on stuff for the house now that you know you'll need, laundry soap, bath soap, conditioner, makeup, pads, etc, that way you don't have to rush out trying to get stuff with a newborn. I had at least 1 extra of all the things we use daily. I would also suggest granola bars, I ate those like crazy after having Bella.

OH yes... I know you've heard it, but this is so true. When Alexa let's us sleep until 7am, it's a gooooood day. Gone are my days of sleeping until 10, 11 or noon... Enjoy your lazy sleep-in weekends now!!!

LOL. I forgot about that... I used to keep a box of granola bars in a magazine basket next to my glider chair in the nursery... For when I was up in the middle of the night nursing and I was starving!!! Luna bars are good for this b/c they have folic acid and protein. You can get a box of them for a great price on Soap.com.

Ditto on the pps about sleep! Enjoy the rest of your pg! We're excited for you ladies!

Ditto pp about stocking up.  MH and I went to Costco and stocked up on frozen turkey burgers, frozen veggies, paper products like toilet paper, paper towel, etc., and personal items like deodorant, soap, etc.  It was so worth it!  I love having what I need, since running to the store is much more of a hassle now.  Also, ditto the granola bars.  When we wake up for the feeding that's usually around 5am, I'm starving!  I keep a box next to the glider in the nursery.  He eats and I eat!

Oh yea when Bella sleeps until 6:30 its a good day at our house, she's usually up at 5:30!! 

*Makes note to self, keep granola bars in the bedroom next time* The pantry is SO far away when you are trying to change a diaper, pee and get a little one feeding! 

mrspresley

i have nothing to add to what pp said, except to emphasize it's all true!!! enjoy your last few weeks

kinibruin

Thanks for the tips!! They are all helpful!! :-). Good tip on scheduling dinners with DH and stocking up on stuff. Although, I may want to have an excuse to get out of the house?!

Malia - yep, snowstorm baby! lol. Darn, the hospital will probably be packed. I hope I'll be able to snag a private room!!
