My fil just called to tell me that there is a flock of storks hanging out at the local middle school. He says its a sign that LO will soon be here lol. I am kind of tempted to run down and see them but hubs just got to sleep after a long fight with insomnia so I guess I'm stuck here. (No one to take pics of me with the storks)

Kiddo's butt is on the one side, and his feet are on the other side, and he is stretching his damn legs. I mean, ok it's nice he hasn't done any damage to my ribs but his toes are gonna pop out of my side Alien style!
Same here! This kid has been in this position for a few months and obviously likes it. I don't mind because it means no body parts in my ribs!

I'm so proud of myself! I made a perfect Starbucks passion tea lemonade knock off. Guzzling it by the quart for the same price as a grande from the store.
Ahhh I just got our unisex Fisher Price diaper bag and I'm soooo excited! Everything has tabs telling you where to put diapers, pacis, wipes, etc. And even my DH thinks it's not too girly since it's a grey messenger bag. I may have already filled it with baby stuff lol!
Also, DH just called me to remind me I have a massage in ten minutes because he knew I was skyping with my pregnant friend in France, and he didn't want me to get caught up and miss it. Methinks my pregnancy brain is becoming well-known?
Ugh hot flashes in the middle of Walmart, plus walking around the store made me out of breath. Time to go home with the dog and chill for the rest of the day.
Feeling your pain, had some crazy ass hot flashes walking through Target today. DH thought I was nuts.
$17.33 for Chinese food for just me. And I'm not even a little bit embarrassed, and I don't give a fuck what DH thinks about it either.
That's a deal!
Chicken lo mein combo (so came with pork fried rice and an egg roll)
10 fried wontons (pork)
3 extra egg rolls
It will last me at least 3 more meals, so it's totally justified IMO.
Another hospital bag question... I was going to pack just one suitcase for h and me (and almost empty diaper bag for baby). It is a large carry on on wheels. Will I look ridic? I have some Vera duffles but I find them hard to find stuff in and they don't have enough pockets.
Also am I foolish to only have one bag or should I have a pre and post labor bag? The hospital we are at is pretty big and the lot is far away and I don't want to make h have to schlep out there once the baby is born.
Sorry if this should have gone in the stupid questions thread.
I'm bringing one bag for me and diaper bag for the baby. DH can only stay one night - he'll be home at night with the kids the rest of the time, so I'm not packing anything for him.
DH got a bug up his ass this morning and decided we needed every thing on my list for baby today. He is totally freaking out that I'm having the baby in the next week. I have no idea why, he just has a "feeling." Dafuq?? We went to Target and bought the RNP, an infant bathseat, pacifiers, boob pads, crib mattress and some other random crap I suddenly forgot. Then we went to Sam's Club and totally stocked the freezer and fridge. He's going to be upset when I'm still pregnant next weekend lol. But at least we are set if she does arrive soon.
Spent my day at the ER. I developed a large abscess on my left leg/buttocks that apparently became infected. Went to my OB and she freaked and sent me in. Due to being VERY pregnant they couldn't put me under so I had to have it incised and drained with nothing but a shot of lidocaine. That my friends hurt like a BITCH. He did give me 2 norco afterwards but nothing more for pain but freaking tylenol.
I am starting to get nervous about how this is going to feel when the numbness wears off :-(
Little girl needs to stay put for a while so mama can heal up before she makes her grand entrance! What a flipping day!!!
I may end up in jail. First night home and DH has slept through every screaming fit/ feeding and diaper change. He woke up because he heard me crying and fell back to sleep. He's gotten at least 6 hours of sleep every day compared to my 2 hours Thursday night and that's about all I've gotten all week. There's going to be a serious conversation today. I never expected this and I'm about to lose my shit.
Serious conversation has to happen before you totally lose your shit. This totally happened with us and it was not pretty. Too much screaming and crying from me and he literally couldn't understand why I was so upset at first. Big hugs!
Can someone who's on their nesting kick come over and organize all this baby stuff? I have another one of the new Ben & Jerry's that I will share....well, you can have about two bites. Those containers are really small.
I'm so over this. I have a horrible cold, my back is killing me and I just want to sleep. DH is still recovering so he's in the bedroom sleeping and DS is starting to act sick. This is not how 37 weeks should look! LO needs to hold off coming because none of us are healthy enough to greet him!
ETA: luckily I'm constipated too so no labor for me anytime soon right?
I got a groupon for gattis pizza buffet and I'm super stoked to use it. BIL is supposed to meet us so we can go together but he keeps being later and later! This pregnant lady wants to stuff her face with pizza!!!

Whenever I get a call to my cell phone from a number I don't recognize I always give it this paranoid look like "Who are you and what do you want from me?!" And I refuse to answer. If they don't leave a message I definitely always utilize Google when deciding whether or not to call back. Hi there, I am a loony who could not function in life without caller ID, nice to meet you. :-h
Same. If I don't recognize the number, I'm not answering.

Feeling your pain, had some crazy ass hot flashes walking through Target today. DH thought I was nuts.
I felt really bad bc I was with DSS and it made me really grumpy and short with him. I let him watch tv on the couch with me to make up for it lol
I really feel bad for everyone in my family, my anger and rage is insane lately.

Just got back from our neighborhood consignment sale. Got a snap n go for $5, 12 NB diaper covers for $10, 2 sm pocket diapers for $3, 30 onesies for $6, a few toys, a bottle warmer, a bunch of socks and hats, a few sleep sacks & swaddlers. I'm pretty pumped! Now I'm washing all of LOs clothes and prepping diapers. Such a productive day!

Went for a walk and my pedometer didn't count any of my steps! I'm pissed. I'm so addicted to my pedometer, I feel like the steps didn't happen if it doesn't count them! Lol so irrational.
OMG, I feel a million times better after going to the hospital's childbirth class and L&D tour today. The hospital has everything was hoping for and the labor rooms are big and not hospital-y and the nurses were all friendly and they seem to be very open to the type of labor I'm hoping for, but also willing to thoroughly explain all my options if things change. I cried, like, 3 times today because I feel so relieved.
So tell me this isn't a dumb idea: after some issues with my insurance they agreed to let me purchase a pump from BRU. I was thinking of doing that this weekend. (Because they are on sale) But not buying any of the extras until after the lo is here in case we end using formula and don't need it.
DH thinks I'm crazy. But with the way you guys talk I won't be pumping in the beginning anyway right?

That's great that you had a good experience today and know you're delivering in a place where you feel comfortable. I did enjoy the baby classes we took but already feel like I have forgotten so much information!
