Re: ~~~~Ten Things Thursday~~~~
1. I was able to put my engagement ring back on this morning after having to yank it off yesterday when my fingers blew up. I felt so naked with just my wedding band.
2. Sitting in a two day computer program training course is known to cause lots of BH.
3. Also being in such close quarters allows coworkers to watch and comment on your alien belly... Yes I know- he moves a lot and it's weird.
4. Also- said coworkers, I am STILL here, just like I was yesterday and probably will be for another three weeks until my DD. Stop asking. Yes my belly is HUGE. I am aware of that constantly when I can't get up off the ground.
5. I used to side eye people that would say "I'm so ready to have this baby at 37 weeks". I have crossed the line now and am on your side (though will wait it out...)
6. Sorry DH that I'm not all gun ho about our plans to ship DD to the grandparents this weekend and got out Saturday night. Food doesn't really taste good, I can't make it 30 minutes without having to get up to pee so a movie isn't a real option (unless it comes with a catheter, then maybe...) And we have everything for LO so there's nothing I'm just thrilled to do.
7. Sorry DH that you had to stay home with sick DD two days this week and she wore you out while I was in above noted training. Now do you understand why I was so exhausted when I was home with her three days a few weeks back when she had the flu?? I don't lay on the couch and watch TV all day- I swear she can make a fever appear out of nowhere!!
8. I am really b*tchy right now...
9. I guess I should be thinking about something sweet to do for Valentine's Day to make up for above mentioned b*tchyness.
10. Have I mentioned how much I love wearing ugly compression socks lately? They sort of limit the wardrobe options...
1. If DH makes one more comment about the poop mess he had to clean up when I was at my baby shower last Saturday, I might throttle him. Yes, it was gross, but it's the ONE time in 4 years he's had to do it. I've cleaned up every other one without complaint. As well as every vomit mess, even when I had morning sickness. Go away.
2. I'm pretty sure I'm surviving on fumes lately. I can sleep for hours and still wake up exhausted.
3. I'm exactly 3 weeks away from the gestational age my 2nd daughter was born. Not sure whether to be nervous or not about that, not sure how much of a fluke her delivery was.
4. Not thrilled that my next appointment will not be with my OB because he's on vacation. So, I won't see him until I'm 36 weeks (the week my 2nd was born). But, at least he's on vacation when I'm only 34 weeks, so he's going to be around when I do deliver, right?
5. I have another page of questions I wanted to ask my OB. I hope his temporary replacement can answer some of them at least. No idea how she is about pregnancy (I now I didn't like her when I saw her for my annual) or VBACs, so could be interesting.
6. I'm tired of cleaning my house. Why does it have to be an every day thing?
7. I want to sign up for a prenatal massage, but whether or not we have the money depends on how this weekend goes when we buy a second car and DH's birthday present. I might just take a bit from our savings to pay for it if DH ends up using all we have set aside for this weekend.
8. Someone was supposed to come by Tuesday to mow my lawn. Due to an unexpected rain storm (drizzle was expected, the amount we got wasn't), my backyard is a mudhole and he won't be coming until tomorrow.
9. I hurt and I am so tired... and, by the way, my iron pill does NOT cause constipation. Ugh.
10. It's taken me an hour to write this list because I cannot focus on anything lately. I have a ton of half-finished things laying around. Living room half-cleaned, dishes half-done, lunch mess half-cleaned...
1. i started showing signs of early labor on tuesday and boy did that light a fire under my butt. any small remaining things we had to do are now finished needless to say.
2. after said early labor signs i am convinced labor will beat me into submission and make me it's b!tch. i had several contractions right on top of each other and it hurt so freaking bad that i just abruptly burst into tears. when my midwife heard this she was like, "oh so you're having REAL contractions!" why yes, yes i am. WAS IT THE TEARS AND PANTING THAT CLUED YOU IN?!? thank god the contractions stopped.
3. i will def be one of those women that is ready to have LO at 37 weeks. whether or not she'll be ready remains to be seen and thats fine. im just saying i am SO OVER pregnancy.
4. i hope the baby finally turned. she was breech last week and while i would rather at least try a version than to go straight for a c section, watching videos of versions is scaring the pee out of me
5. at almost 36 weeks, despite how over this pregnancy i am, i can honestly say for a little while there i honestly thought i would be pregnant forever! now its sinking in it will be over very soon. ahh!
6. dont get me wrong, i love talking about the baby and all but i am so sick to death of hearing the same few comments or questions. get creative people.
7. DH is getting sick and i hope i dont get it.
8. im excited for my last ultrasound! even my grandma wants to come and thats just too freaking cute for me to handle :]
9. speaking of grandparents, even though im excited for everyone to meet LO, i feel like my heart will just absolutely melt when i see my grandma and grandpa hold her for the first time. i am so fortunate that they are here to enjoy this with me.
10. i had been driving myself crazy wondering how i would know when i was having contractions. everyone told me "you'll know" and that crap just annoyed me. welp, i can honestly say I KNEW! i wasnt so sure about the generalized achiness/being uncomfortable i felt immediately before the contraction but when those bad boys came that was the ONLY thing that could be. so, if any other FTM's were wondering like i was, you really do know.
1. I can't believe tomorrow is 35/35 for me!
2. We had our hospital tour last night and it was very informative.
3. We start our birthing classes tonight. LO has to stay put until March 1st because we finish the last class on Feb. 28th!
4. I have an OB appointment this afternoon. I am wondering if he take me off work sooner than my planned date of March 1st....both my hands and feet are swollen, but blood pressure was low on Monday at my NST.
5. My cough has been worse the last 48 hours - it has been hanging on for 5 weeks now! I am SO over it!!!!
6. I am starting to understand why so many women say they are done being pregnant and want the last month/weeks to go quickly. While I am not yet ready to meet LO, I think I will be there is just a couple of weeks. I am starting to get uncomfortable.
7. We are going to go to BRU Saturday and do our registry completion shopping. The big purchase will be our travel system.
8. My hands are mildly numb right now so I am having a hard time typing.
9. I am at a seminar today so got to sleep in an extra hour this morning.
10. I wish I could get a dollar for every person who has told me...."your life is going to change".....duh! I know that!BFP #2 - 7/1/12 - Met my lucky charm Alexandra on 3-16-13!!!
1. There are 2 guys here from our out of state offices and they are driving me nuts!! They're basically just surfing the web and bs-ing and it is highly annoying.
2. The baby's room is almost done. I should finish it up next week when DD's new dresser comes in and hers gets moved to the baby's room.
3. The look on DD's face when she feels the baby move is absolutely priceless
4. DD told me last night that she wants to be the first person to meet the baby in the hospital. It's so cute how excited she is.
5. This water is not hitting the spot..I want a cherry limeade form Sonic mmm
6. I'm not in a rush to file our taxes this year since we have to pay
7. I don't have a wide selection of short sleeve shirts that fit me. I'm gonna have to start wearing dresses to work.
8. At my checkup yesterday my doc said baby is head down and I should go into labor the same way/time frame I did with DD. So, water breaking at 38 weeks is what I am anticipating.
9. I'm getting a pedicure this weekend and am weirdly really excited about it lol
10. I really want a nice warm, buttery biscuit.
1) My baby bump is getting really huge and I am thinking I may deliver 2 weeks early!
2) My new Gestational Diabetes doctor was nit picking my numbers and now I fear they may put me on meds when I see them again next week
3) I'm super anxious about my U/S tomorrow. The last time I went (32 weeks) they estimated the baby's weight at 5lbs 8 ounces!!I can't imagine how big the baby is now!!
4) My husband just started a new job that his him working the night shift so now I'm all alone at night when I get home from work!
5) I cried three times yesterday (really for no reason at all) in the morning I was just sad / emotional. In the afternoon I started panicking at the thought of delivering two weeks early and at night I was crying about my glucose numbers and the stress of needing to be soo strict about my diet.
6) Wednesday night I slept from 5:30 PM - 6 AM. This third trimester exhaustion is really getting to me, I can't imagine how I'll feel in two weeks!
7) We have not purchased any furniture yet for the nursery!! I'm trying really hard not to panic!!
8) My shower is this Saturday, but people probably won't come due to the snow storm!
9) I really want to have sex but I am really afraid of how I'll feel afterwards...My SPD is bad enough as it is and I had a swollen vulva a few weeks ago!
10) The 49ers lost the Superbowl after I had my baby bump painted and everything! See here
