1. I feel like I can never get enough sleep lately!
2. We have been watching Breaking Bad. DH likes it way more than me, but it's a pretty good show.
3. I am so swollen and don't have ankles anymore and can't wear my rings everyday :-(
4. Apparently everyone thinks I won't make it to my due date.
5. Personally, I feel like I will go past my due date!
6. I can't believe I only have three weeks left as of tomorrow!
7. I wish I had enough PTO to take off before he is born.
8. I really need to pack my hospital bag and finish his room.
9. I need a new book to read.
10. I have a dentist appt this week, but am going to cancel. I don't want to deal with it!

09/23/11 - Married DH
04/01/13 - BFP at 4wks
05/30/13 - MMC - BO @ 12wks 5d
08/29/13 - BFP @ 4wks 4d
09/17/13 - 7wks 2d - Normal HB Detected! Baby measuring perfect for dates and positioning!
10/23/13 - 12wks 3d - Perfect NT scan! HB 167 & baby wriggling, waving & yawning!
12/17/13 - 20wks 2 d - We're having a beautiful baby girl! Go Team Pink!
05/03/14 - Bobbie Gloria was born at 39+6 weighing 6lb 14oz!
2. Everyone keeps telling me I'm "ready to pop" but I was bigger with DD1 and we made it to the due date, so I don't think this one will come early at all.
3. I agree with @sparklingdiamond - I really wish I had more vacation time so I bail early from work.
4. I really want to post or nursery picture but it's not done yet. :-(
5. We still have to hang two shelves, finish building another shelf to hang, and hang a garland over the changing table.
6. I also want to attempt painting since birch trees on one wall, but don't know if I'll get around to it.
7. Still haven't gotten maternity photos done...trying to convince DH to be excited for them, but it's not an easy task
8. Happy Earth Day!
9. We just had 10 trees delivered yesterday that are ready to plant.
10. Gotta figure out where to put the trees in our yard. At least it's a beautiful day for planting!
2. My softball tea has their second game today, and I miss playing with them.
3. Sleeping is okay, I only wake up like once a night for an hour or 2.
4. My DH started his new job this past Sunday, and it's going to take a while to get used to his new schedule.
5. I'm excited, and anxious to meet my LO, and find out if it's a boy or girl.
6. I think I'm starting to develop allergies, boo!!!
7. I am still trying to pre register at the hospital, they just don't seem to want to return my phone calls.
8. I'm enjoying this nice 60 degrees weather.
9. I cancelled my morning client, because I wanted to sleep a little bit longer.
10. And my glider just came in, so I need to pick that up, and have DH put it together.
2. Hopefully I have 8 more days worth of clothing that will fit until I can officially convert to yoga pants.
3. 36 weeks down and hopefully less than 4 to go (please don't flame me for hoping LO is early. I've in extreme pain, average 3 hours of sleep a night, have a dimwit for an OB and honestly just want to start being a mom and stop being a host body).
4. To the little girls at the Ice Cream stand yesterday talking about my belly - you'll be here too one day and it's not nice to talk about strangers.
5. To my husband for laughing bc the little girls were talking about my humungous belly - the first diaper is yours!
6. If one more person asks "you haven't had that baby yet?" I'm probably going to lose my mind.
7. I have an ultrasound tomorrow and can not wait to see where LO is at, how big they estimate him and make sure all is well!
8. Beautiful weather is a wonderful thing especially after the worlds longest winter here in the northeast!
9. I hope my carpel tunnel leaves as soon as LO is out. It's very hard to work when I can't feel the keyboard on my laptop.
10. I have so much to do and I'm sure you all do too! Good luck ladies out babies will be here soon!
2. DH is trying to bribe me with my guilty food indulgence (all-dressed chips) in order to get me to pack my hospital bag.
3. He is nagging me and I dont do well with nagging. Dont rush me, I dont move very fast anymore.
4. Add me to the pregsomnia camp
5. I woke myself up by talking in my sleep last night. Then DH demanded to know what I had said 3 times. By the third time I was feeling a little bitchy that he wouldnt let me sleep, so he got butthurt by my tone and moved into the spare bedroom for the night. Although I didnt sleep... the extra space in bed was GLORIOUS
6. DH let slip that he got me a "push present" despite us having a conversation in the first trimester stating I didnt want one.
7. SIL made ham for Easter (I come from a strict "turkey for the holidays" household
8. My niece (2yo) had pink eye at Easter and now my right eye is itchy. I cant recall ever having pink eye... I am going to be one cranky pregnant woman if I caught it.
9. Our dog seems to be under the weather. She wont leave my side, insists on resting her head on my belly or chest when I am laying down, and doesnt seem to want to drink her water or eat much of her food. Maybe she finally has clued into the fact that something is different with momma.
10. Hoping this LO waits until after this Saturday so DH & I can take out labour & birth class
BFP #1 - 3/23/13 // EDD - 11/27/13 // M/MC - 5/3/13 // D&C - 5/4/13
BFP #2 - 8/26/13 // EDD - 5/10/14 // Born 5/18/14
2. I'm terrified of my RCS on Monday and can only imagine the worst possible scenario.
3. My last OB appt is today and thank goodness - I'm tired of seeing them 2x a week.
4. I feel like I've forgotten to do something really big & important.
5. I'm worried about LOs health - irrationally of course.
6. I'm worried that my DS1 (15 years old) will hate this new LO for taking away his Only Child status.
7. My mom is coming to stay with us tomorrow and that's exciting.
8. My DS1 has a symphonic band concert on Thursday night that I hope I can keep LO in long enough to see it.
9. I remember that 1st poop after CS and I'm terrified - gonna start taking Colace tonight in prep - the hemis are already killing me with this +11# baby I'm carrying.
10. I am so anxious, nervous, terrified and excited all at once & I don't know what to do with myself.

2) As much as I resisted the iron pills, I actually feel better.
3) I've gone from cute pregnant to side of a barn pregnant this week.
4) I never knew my feet and ankles could swell so much.
5) if DH asks again what's wrong anytime I sigh or wince, I'm going to smack him. Gee, I wonder what's wrong...
6) Now that the nursery is done and car seat is in, I feel like the baby can come, even if the rest of the house is a disaster.
7) I can't wait for school to be over but I'm so not ready for the final.
8) Tomorrow, they'll tell me if LO is breech. He's been head down for awhile so I hope he didn't flip.
9) I'm such a planner that the whole concept of not knowing when the baby will come is killing me.
10) We really need to go grocery shopping. My latest diet consists of a lot of pb&j and I'm sick of it.

1. I just ate a Reese's peanut butter egg; it tasted like Easter and made me so happy...and the heartburn has already started. Why do I do this to myself?
2. I am up to 2 Pepcid at a time now, and even then it is hit or miss on efficacy.
3. We are averaging one tree decal/night in the girls' nursery. The decals look so amazing; I sort of wish their room was my room.
4. I am trying to drink more red raspberry leaf tea now that I am a mere 3 weeks out from my 37 week date.
5. This morning a new set of tulips opened - they are yellow. I love spring time at our new house and watching what comes up in the flowerbeds.
6. I had to get an oil change on the car today - all part of getting everything squared away before the girls arrive. I always feel like I have accomplished a lot after having the oil changed on my car. Really, all I accomplished was reading 3 magazines in the waiting area and catching up on fb.
7. My ribs feel like they are being broken multiple times throughout the day and night.
8. I can't wait for the nursery to be finished.
9. I want to take a nap.
10. I am up to 3 applications/day of belly butter.
1. Everything makes me want to cry these days.
2. I had a crying two-year old almost the entire way through the grocery store this morning. He was upset because I wouldn't let him bring his blanket in the store with us. (Like we need all of those germs on it!)
3. A lady stopped to comment on how strong-willed he was (she's right- he is) and then told me what a great job she thought I was doing handling him and his tantrum. It was so nice of her and made me feel better even though he continued to cry for most of our trip!
4. My C-section is 9 days away!
5. Seasonal allergies have hit. Finally caved and took some Benadryl last night. It helped me get a decent night's sleep, thankfully.
6. Breathe Right strips are also amazing.
7. Breathe Right strips definitely do not make you look sexy.
8. I went to Target for a few things last night (Benadryl and Breathe Right strips) and while I was gone DH bathed both boys and got them ready for bed.
9. Love him.
10. Was in a car accident (minor) on Friday. So thankful baby and I are ok! (So was the driver who hit me.)
2) hoping LO comes this week so I don't have to go back. Sadly, I doubt it. Thinking he will come around his due date.
3) MIL is trying to be nice, but when we went out on Saturday, she was driving me nuts asking if baby was in position. Sounds so gross.
4) DH made chili the other day and it tore both of us up.
5) I have not done anything I wanted to this week: prepare some freezer meals, install shade in bathroom window, or make/install bookshelves in DS's room.
6) can someone explain why all the photo ledges are shaped like an L instead of a F with a serif? You'd think there was more support of the part that attached to the wall was under the ledge, not above.
7) we are still waiting for the title to the car since the seller forgot to sign it and we had to mail it back.
8) I want to eat a tray if peeps but I also want topreserve them for later.
9) today we get new phones and are changing our provider as Verizon, even with my corporate discount, is more than what I'd pay elsewhere.
10) I want to buy a woven wrap but not sure what I want specifically. Need to do more research.
T 2.12 | W 5.14
11) I need to remove my nail polish and trim my toe nails, but I can't reach. Is it bad if I get DH to trim them for me?

1) My gluten-free SIL is visiting tomorrow. I keep wondering if gluten works like HeLa cells, floating around infecting the universe with gluteny gluten-ness.
2) If gluten does work like that, SIL is going to be so sick from visiting us. I hope it doesn't work like HeLa cells or cold germs.
3) Clearly, I am too lazy to actually look up how gluten cross-contamination works.
4) Benjamin is approximately the cutest. He can say "cute" now too, which is itself totally cute.
5) This morning after breakfast, I wiped his face and then gave him the washcloth to try it himself, and he held it up by the corners and kind of made it dance, singing a little wash cloth song. The fricking cutest, I tells ya.
6) I need to go to the library tonight to return a bunch of stuff. Seems like SOMEBODY *cough*totally me*cough* completely forgot that library books have to go back to the library after a finite amount of time.
7) It's so bad, one of the books was marked missing and they put a $25 charge for it on my account. In addition to that sucking, it means I can't renew any of the other stuff online.
8) I actually brought the entire massive plastic tote box thing that we keep library books in, and I'm taking the whole mess to the library after work.
9) Even with how bad the fines are, I might've waited until tomorrow, except that at this point it's going to be about five more dollars worth of fines from all the stuff I can't renew online, and, most importantly, it's finally my turn on the Frozen hold list and the library doesn't let you check things out unless your fines are $10 or less.
10) Did I mention I'm a librarian?
ETA Thanks for the gluten-sensitivity pro tips. It never occurred to me that a butter knife would be contaminated with bread, or a measuring cup could mess up the sugar. I was mostly thinking "What if there are secretly crumbs everywhere? How small can a crumb be?"
