10 Things Tuesday

1.  I still have 15 days left and feel like it is so close, yet still taking forever!

2.  I am so ready to be out of work for a few weeks.

3.  I wish I could quit my job to SAH.  

4.  I am so over these storms lately!  We only had a little hail on Sunday, but that was too much!

5.  I keep eating too much salt, which keeps making my feet swell.

6.  I am actually weirdly excited about my cervical check tomorrow because I am hoping I have progressed some!

7.  I had a spot of blood on my underwear yesterday that freaked me out a little.

8.  I just hope it was another sign I am a little more dilated!

9.  I just want to meet my son!

10.  This board seems pretty dead today :-(

    1. 5 days until my EDD

    2. That might as well be 5 years

    3. Pretty sure she's staying in there forever

    4. I've learnt not to say out loud when anything hurts, because its not worth the kerfuffle

    5. Went out for dinner last night and there was a dad and his 2 teenage daughters on the next table. Between courses they just sat there playing on their phones, all 3 of them. What's the point in going out to dinner if you're just gonna ignore each other.

    6. We're having a hot curry tonight to road test that OWT

    7. Might get lucky tonight if I can convince DH that LO can't feel his peen poking her head

    8. My butt nut is back with a vengeance, but at least it's not bleeding like last time. I just hope it calms down before baby comes

    9. DH is working from home today because there's a strike on the London Underground and he can't get to work. Means I have to try and stay out of his way all day

    10. I heard that baby is supposed to go a little quiet in the days leading up to the big event, but this one has been having a dance party in there for the last few days. I'm gonna be pregnant forever.

  • 1. 2cm and 50% effaced at my appt yesterday
    2. Progess but so far to go!
    3. Monday we may strip my membranes...anything to move this along!
    4. I am so ready for this baby boy to be here!
    5. This weekend my whole family is coming up for DS's baseball games.
    6. I hope baby stays in until they all leave.
    7. I'm done with work...really want to make this Friday my last day but not sure if that's possible.
    8. I need to finish packing my bags.
    9. I really want a root beer float.
    10. ...and a footlong chili cheese coney and cheese tots from Sonic.
  • 1) I had "Happy" by Pharrell stuck in my head for days and days and hated it because the lyrics make no sense to me.  Finally that song is gone, and instead I've got hymns.  Yes, it's true, I am the coolest cat.  (Coming up next on the playlist, "Earth and All Stars.")

    2) I almost always have music playing in my head.  Sometimes I catch myself dancing in a very understated way to this music. 

    3) It's snowing.  *grumble.*  And the snow was melting the second it touched the ground at first, but now there's enough that the grass has a little coating.

    4) DH and I put the crib together this weekend.  This morning I put up the closet organizer we use for the tiny new baby clothes.  Now I just need to wash the clothes that have been in a box for a year and get the sheets on the bed, and finish figuring out what to put in the hospital bag and pack it up.

    5) Last night I felt so heavy and uncomfortable in my lower abdomen, and teased DH that maybe it was labor.  He made me promise no more labor jokes.  :)

    6) Sometimes I still feel normal, but those times are getting shorter and less frequent.  Mostly I can deal, but the carpal tunnel can suck it.

    7) I finally found my camera!

    8) Benjamin is still technically behind on the language acquisition milestone, since I think he's supposed to be doing two word sentences, but on the other hand he's starting to recognize some letters so I'm calling it good.

    9) I used the stand mixer my parents got DH and I for Christmas for the first time today.  Dough hooks work differently than I thought they would, or possibly I did it wrong, but the dough is a ball and it's rising so probably it's ok.

    10)  I'm finally being brave about a recipe I've been wanting for a long time.  If everything works out, we will have baozi today!
  • 1. I have no motivation to do my job today. 
    2. Getting ready to run out over lunch to do some errands... That should kill some time. 
    3. I get my bonus on Friday and decided to spend part of it on professional carpet cleaning and a maid service. Exciting, huh? 
    4. 19 days till EDD. For some reason having it be in the teens makes it seem very real. 
    5. Going to a baby shower this weekend for a friend and hoping my gigantic size doesn't get too much attention. 
    6. Pepcid AC is my new best friend. 
    7. Have my doctors appointment tomorrow and am not even going to bother with a check. I just know nothing is going on yet. 
    8. Almost done making all the freezer meals I had hoped to. I've cooked more in the past few weeks than I have maybe this whole year!
    9. DHs last business trip before LO gets here is this week. It's going to be weird to have him home everyday. I am happy he will be here, but secretly a little bummed I have to share the bed.
    10. First time doing 10 things Tuesday. I've always been too lazy. It was fun though. :)

  • 1. I am slightly bored, going into my second week of mat leave. There is nothing left to organize and purge :( but I keep telling myself it won't be so boring for long!

    2. DH had no idea what I meant by padsicles - despite me explaining what they are. He thought I just called them that until he found them in the freezer. His cluelessness can be so cute sometimes.

    3. Peanut butter cookies are da bomb.

    4. I meet my second MW tomorrow (I have a second and third back up in case), but I've seen her around, not sure how I feel about her.

    Well that's four ... 
  • 1. I am super jealous of all you peeps with a week or less to go.

    2. Had a follow up u/s today to check my fluid levels since I'm measuring ahead.

    3. Fluid levels were well within the average range and baby looks perfect.

    4. Felt like that was a waste of time and insurance money...

    5. Ate a bunch of pineapple and had sex last night. Still no contractions :-(

    6. I wish OWTs were more accurate! Lol

    7. Got some new cloth diaper goodies in the mail yesterday and excited to see how they work out!

    8. I need to practice newborn cloth diaper skills.

    9. DD1's Elmo doll might be wearing diapers tonight as I practice

    10. I'm going to go eat some more pineapple now...

  • 1) I finally felt motivated to pack my hospital bag over the weekend.

    2) Got the car seat base all set up to the right incline. We didn't leave installed though since we are only 5 mins from the hospital DH will just go home and get it when it's time to check out. 

    3) I'm actually looking forward to my OB appointment on Friday. It's the first time meeting with the OB, up until now I've been with my family doctor. Switching to OB care means the end is nigh.

    4) My lower back has been giving me all kinds of hassle and I'm hoping the chiro can sort it out tonight.

    5) Friday is my last day at work and I'm not going back for a year. It's not really sunk in yet that I'm not just going on vacation but I can't wait to be done.

    6) I have a feeling this baby will come a couple weeks early. I feel stupid saying that since I have no medical reason to believe it, it's just a feeling. Now I've said it out load I'll probably go way over. 

    7) Last night i ugly cried because the ground beef we took out the freezer for dinner hadn't defrosted and there was nothing else to eat. I called DH who was walking home from work and he made a detour to the grocery store. I felt a little silly by the time he got home. 

    8) Yesterday I bought discount easter candy. $0.30 for a cadburys cream egg HELLS YEAH!!

    9) We have way too many newborn size sleepers and MIL keeps sending more. I was 23in at birth and NB size only goes to 22in so I'm worried we wont even be able to use the ones we have without having to cut the feet off. DH politely mentioned to her that we don't need any more clothes in that size and she had a toddler tantrum at him and told he didn't know what he was talking about and NB goes up to 10lbs. She didn't seem to get that length and weight are 2 separate measurements.  

    10) I finally booked a hair appointment for next week. I haven't had my hair cut or coloured since November and I've been rocking the high bun for a couple months now
    1. I am going to heat up my house to an ungodly temperature today by making a turkey. (Why a turkey? Because we had ham at my ILs for Easter and DH & I regretted their decision).
    2. I made brownies this morning and dont have milk to make icing (thanks DH for using it and not telling me!) - looks like a trip to the grocery store.
    3. MIL is having either a full or partial mastectomy tomorrow and it is weighing heavy on our minds
    4. I will be making a huge batch of turkey soup tomorrow to bring over to the ILs so they dont need to make supper after the surgery (I might even share my brownies!)
    5. I plan to also freeze a good portion to add to my freezer meals
    6. Sister called last night to tell me her & her husband will be in town for next week
    7. I cant tell if I am excited or annoyed - I will be 39 weeks pregnant and she will likely want me to spend the week shopping
    8. This means I need to spend this week cleaning cause it takes FOREVER to accomplish anything physical
    9. Can I eat all the brownies now?
    10. Thats all I have for now - will likely update my frustrations after my weekly appt this afternoon.

  • 1) DH drank all of the milk so I have none for my cereal.

    2) DS eats the faces off the bunny peeps and leaves the backside sitting on the table.

    3) I have no shame about putting the mutilated bunnies out of their misery.

    4) I have to be up by 4 am this Thursday so I can do inventory. Suck.

    5) last time I did inventory, my pregnant tech who was going to help had to call out because she went into early labor. I'm hoping it is my turn.

    6) I still have another 28 hours to work this week.

    7) love the galaxy s5. Omg. I can't believe it took me forever to change phones.

    8) My burn scab from January is still there. I'm sure I'll have a baby before this thing heals over.

    9) Likewise, I'll have a baby before I'll be able to drive my car.

    10) we need to go to ikea to return the picture shelves I was going to install behind DS's bedroom door but they are too deep. Ugh. I'm not in the mood to actually make the shelves but that is looking like what I'll have to do.

  • 1. In week 39 of my pregnancy and it's in the high 80's low 90's
    2. We don't have AC
    3. If I head to my coffee shop (where I used to work a couple of months ago) I will get asked a million questions
    4. If I stay home I'll get hot, grouchy and sad
    5. I'm thankful to have a place to complain. I refuse to do so on fb because the comments on fb are just annoying. So thank you for being a place where ppl just commiserate with me instead of the "buck up" crap.
    6. https://www.haveyouhadthatbabyyet.com is my fav right now.
    7. Putting my daily dates in a smoothie was so much smarter than trying to eat them straight.
    8. I know I can make it till 40 weeks but I'm not so sure about how much longer after that.
    9. My sister got engaged last night but it's hard to get all giddy for her when she set the wedding date before that (it's in less than a month. In Alaska. And of course I can't go.)
    10. Yep. The house is starting to heat up. Why a heat wave now?

    * Munchkin due May 5th 2014 * Getting back on the waiting list for domestic infant adoption May 2015 * Apparently May is our month!
                                            
  • 1. 11 days to my due date!

    2. Fatty Lumpkins (what I call this kiddo) is not a behemoth as of my f/u growth scan today only 8# 9oz with a 8 oz range.

    3. Apparently he built like a freaking pumpkin because his belly/shoulders are still measuring above the 95th percentile.

    4. The folks who said they don't induce for size are now telling me they want to induce for his girth issue FTW?

    5. I'm waiting for the call as to how soon they want to evict him.

    6. I think this is my sh!t just got real moment.

    7. I'm re-thinking my pain med free stance.

    8. I had a piece of lemon raspberry cake with white chocolate drizzle for lunch.

    9.I actually forgot what I was supposed to be doing at work and had to ask DH to help me think it out (we work together).

    10. I have the funniest older brother. He sent LO a shirt that said "My uncle Chris is amazeballs" in what he called infant XXL (6-12 months since the kid is a fatty).

    1. I have read three books since Saturday trying to keep my mind off the baby.

    2. I have lots of time to read because LO has a ninja dance party between 10 pm and 3 am and I've given up trying to sleep through it.

    3. My DH told me that I needed to move more and I wanted to throat punch him...

    4. ... Then I realized its because he wants the baby to come and not because he thinks I am a whale.

    5. I have my 40 week appointment tomorrow.

    6. My MIL claims to be psychic and says my baby will be born May 5.

    7. She also says she knows exactly what he'll look like but hasn't told me.

    8. I am reading another book. It's good and I want to finish it before baby gets here.

    9. I think that I'll still be pregnant this time next week.

    10. I hope that I am wrong.

    Edited b/c I accidentally hit done.

  • @awc1986 - your no. 7 is a common topic in our house lately...

    1.  I am over work.  Completely done.  No motivation. 

    2.  Chicken pot pie for lunch.  Now to try and not scarf the whole thing in hopes my heartburn doesn't came back.

    3.  Who am I kidding?  I get heartburn just for looking at food.

    4.  I have an ultrasound / growth scan, doc appointment, and stress test tomorrow.  It is going to be a long morning at the hospital.  But, way better than being at work.

    5.  Summons for jury duty - you bet your bottom dollar I will be requesting a note from the doc tomorrow to get out of that $hit show.

    6.  I have a breastfeeding class on Saturday morning.  Hoping it goes fast because the weather is looking perfect for Saturday and I want to play outside.

    7.  It seriously feel like my bones are breaking.  My pelvis bone cracks and hurts if I try not to waddle and my ribs have certainly been bruised (if not broken) by the 4 little feet kicking them.

    8.  I think Baby B may have turned head down, too.  Hoping both are head down at tomorrow's ultrasound and MORE IMPORTANTLY at go-time.

    9.  So glad we got the nursery done last weekend.  It is the biggest sigh of relief to have that all pulled together.

    10.  I am delving into labor and delivery affirmations everyday now.

     

  • 1. So happy to be home!!! Stayed in the hospital last night :( Dr sent me straight over from my check up.

    2. Happy my usual OB is back from maternity leave. Granted I loved the other OB also, my normal OB seems to listen to my symptoms and complaints more, hence why I went into L&D for the night.

    3. Doing a 24 hr urine collection for pre-e. It's weird having a giant jug of my urine sitting in the bathroom for the whole family to see.

    4. As much as I hated being in the hospital last night, kinda helped me know what I want there with me when I really go into labor.

    5. Turns out I have a bladder infection I had no clue about... hmm ok... another thing to watch out for now.

    6. Contractions in the hospital last night SUCKED! And I don't know if I wanted to hit DH or just laugh at him cause he would watch the monitor of the contractions and once literally said "Oh shit that's a big one! Wow it just keeps going up!" Thanks babe, you're supposed to help me, not make me feel worse. But I kinda laughed cause he's not into medical stuff so it kinda fascinates him that he can watch whats going on with me and finds the computer whatnot interesting! It was kinda funny.

    7. I was in the middle of putting my hospital bag together yesterday before I left for my appointment... Thank god we didn't have to stay longer cause I would have no clue how badly DH would've done trying to do the rest for me.

    8. Now I really want to finish all our last minute things. Like put the car seat bases in the cars, pack our bags, last little touches in the nursery... So much to do yet!

    9. I love when I came home the pup greeted me like I haven't been home in ages. I love her. She snuggled on the couch and napped with me all day.

    10. Not being able to eat in the hospital was worse than anything else, even the contractions! The hospital breakfast actually tasted pretty darn good! Can't wait for dinner now! I love food too much :) haha

  • 1. @ArmyMedic7588, I had on demand room service with a big menu at my 5 day hospital stay last week food was actually pretty good and I miss it being home now. 2. Related to one, besides rough birth story I actually enjoyed my time at the hospital and miss being there this week. 3. Today my beautiful baby latched on her own no sheild, didn't require formula supplement and made me feel proud of her and accomplished. 4. My mom worked half days and came to help this week and she actually helped and wasn't annoying or pushy at all which is very unusual for her 5. DH is back at work and sorta being a crabby dick head to me when home. 6. I think that as soon as I can bend over comfortably I need to give him a bj , possible reason for # 5 7.I never realized how annoying it would be not to be able to drive. 8. I miss sleeping 9. I do like losing 5 to 10 pounds a day without doing anything 10. I need to nap now before next feeding
  • 1. I wish the contractions that I've been having would just get worse or subside....not just hang out.

    2. Little man can leave my pubic bone alone at any time, I wouldn't mind.

    3. All I wanna do tonight is eat.

    4. My MIL is coming to watch my 2 year old cuz I really don't feel well.

    5. My DH is making me crazy about labor.....

    6. As much I don't to go through labor, I just wanna feel better.

    7. I know this is my second but I don't wanna go to L & D and look like a fool.

    8. I hope my students are good for my sub.

    9. Even though I don't' want to go time w/o pay, I really don't think I want to work anymore---which makes me feel like a failure.

    10. My DH won't get cleared to work until next week, so it'd be super ideal to have Zachary sometime before next Tuesday so that DH doesn't have to take more time off w/o pay.
