I watched a duck and her 8 ducklings cross an extremely busy intersection this morning at 8am during rush hour and they all made it safely to the other side of the street. It was so cute. I wish I would have taken a picture, but I was too busy watching traffic to hope they made it across ok.

I know this sounds weird, but sometimes I seem to forget my uterus is housing two babies and I just assume they're still little alien looking blob things. Then I see pictures of babies born at 32 weeks+ and think, holy shit they actually look like little babies! Not aliens! (and sadly, not velociraptors)
I don't know why but this always blows my mind lol.
Hubs is gone (again) for the weekend. I have all kinds of things I should do while he's away but I plan on sitting in my lounge chair on the deck, since the weather will be nice, reading or watch movies on my tablet. I really have no intention on doing any housework because the more activity I do, the more pain in in later. Hell, maybe I'll freak out the neighbors- pull my shirt up and bare some belly for a lil sunshine :-O
My second shower is on Sunday. My sister, brother and SIL are coming over for it. This will be the first time they get to see my house. I was expecting them to arrive at 9 tonight so I haven't done a lot of cleaning. They will be leaving earlier and getting to my house at the same time I get home from work.
I need to dust, clean my floors, clean the kitchen and make beds. I'm so stressed. I'll be going home on lunch to do as much as I can and I'm praying H has a slow day at work and can get off at his normal time so he can do what I didn't. Damn procrastination! At least I deep cleaned the bathrooms yesterday..
I just posted this on the old thread and I'm going to be extra AW and post it agin here so I'm sure people will look at it Eleanor's "new" big girl bed. Now if only I could get the baby stuff taken care of...
I have so much to do today. I took the day off work so I can clean and get ready for our shower tomorrow. My mom flew in to help me with the shower and decorating the baby room, which is awesome but she is already driving me a bit nuts. She had the most wonderfully easy pregnancies and didn't have any pain or issues and walked 2 miles every day when she was pregnant. She was 19, 22 and 26 when she was pregnant, I am 31, I am old and tired and sore and to top it all off I am sick! She doesn't get it and it sucks.
So I am hiding in my room, pretending to be sleeping but really catching up on some tv.

Yes! I have to google image search babies born at whatever week all the time because I just can't wrap my head around the fact that he already looks like a child and not like a blob. The crazy alien movements don't help much though!
I just got chewed out by a woman for calling her husband. I was trying to call a student's parent about his IEP, but I somehow reached a 60 year-old angry, jealous woman instead.
*TMI WARNING*
For the past two nights, I've had an orgasm in my sleep. In my sleep. Who does that!? Haha, I woke up right after and had to go to the bathroom, both times. The weirdest part is that the dreams I'm having before I wake up aren't even sexual. At all. But TBH, I'm not complaining..
This used to happen to me frequently during my first trimester. I kind of miss it...

Same here! I didn't mind them, kind of enjoyed them really, though I was glad DH had no idea that it was going on. When people were asking me "so have you had any sex dreams yet?" I used to blush and stammer a bit, until I finally understood that they were asking me if I had dreams about LO being a boy or a girl!
We're having people over today, tomorrow and Sunday. I really need to get the house ready because it just looks bad. Instead, I'm bumping on the couch while my toddler looks out the windows. I feel so lazy!
I cannot wait for my 1:30 meeting to be over so I can sneak out of work and get an Oreo McFlurry. I've been fantasizing about one since I woke up this morning.
Tomorrow is my 6 year anniversary. Celebrating by getting a mani/pedi in the morning and then having friends come over to see our new house during the afternoon which will be followed up by going out to dinner to celebrate with DH and our sons (no babysitter). Exciting times. Lol
@katekat8721-I'm having a hard time picturing baby and not blob too...the recent pics of the preemies are a complete, "HOLY SHIT IT'S A REAL BABY IN THERE!" moment for me every time I see them.
Ok so the quote got weird....anyway...I literally asked the nurse like 3 times are you sure this is my baby? The whole thing is super surreal.
Including today, I have 13 more work days left and I am counting down the hours! My last show for the year was last night, so I have no more rehearsals or after school commitments. I am so excited to leave school at the end of the actual school day from here on out!
BFP 12/30/12...MC 1/13...TTC again 6/11/13... BFP #2 9/28/13....EDD 6/7/14
Had a doctors appointment yesterday. She said I'm 50% effaced and 1-2cm dialated. My cervix is still high though. I know that I could sit like this for weeks but it's exciting to know the waiting game is starting! Now the end seems more real. So I celebrated by scrubbing my kitchen today lol
Eta: Dh and I are going car shopping tomorrow! We had originally decided we wouldn't get a bigger vehicle right away since we never really go anywhere all together. But I guess he's changed his mind
I keep finding all these amazing homes online but where we are moving in over 3 hours away and I can't go look at them. Also. Less than a month till our little guy gets here!!! Yay
My first baby shower is this weekend. Right now, I'm so exhausted, I don't know how I'm going to enjoy it, let alone plaster a smile on my face so it at least LOOKS like I'm enjoying it. Tomorrow will be better, right?

What started off as a crappy morning, turned into a good one.
Woke up at 7:30 for what I thought was an 8am appointment (it was actually at 8:30) and had a mini panic attack trying to get ready, only to find that my dog, who just got spayed yesterday, had diarrhea in her kennel. So I popped some waffles in the toaster, rushed to clean out her kennel, washed my hands, grabbed my waffles and went out the door.
When I came home, DH was still in bed and asked how physical therapy was, then asked me to climb back into bed and relax. He cuddled me for an hour before he had to go to work and it made the hectic morning so much better.
I love when he does little random acts of sweetness.
DF needs to shift his thinking from "oh a baby will effect our lives in 6 weeks" to "baby effects life now". He wants to go to a concert downtown tonight. It's a local hiphop artist at a club that doesn't start until 10. I'm very pregnant, tired, can't drink and haven't felt cute in weeks. Nothing about the show sounds fun. He is all irritated that I don't want to go out. Grrr.
I feel like an idiot, but I've seen a lot of people talk about local FB yardsale groups....how the hell do I find them? LOL, I don't really use FB for much other than reading my newsfeed...

DH has gotten that we can't do much anymore (and his job and hours help cut a lot of that out), but he doesn't understand that we need to get organized now and start developing a schedule for getting things done around the house - he keeps saying "let's just wait until the baby comes - it'll be easier." No, it won't. It's like procrastinating on a paper in college - it's just going to be harder to get done later on.
My DH does these things, too. I keep whining about this graduation party Sunday, but it's in a park 2 hours away. Nothing about it sounds like fun, at all. I know DH is annoyed that I don't want to go, but i just don't think he understands how uncomfortable it will be for me to sit in the car, walk around a park, sit in the car, etc.
The kicker is when he says he'll drive so I can relax lololololol. Him driving on the turnpike is possibly the least relaxing thing I can think of.
@lest12@KrystaJ sorry you are both dealing with this too. It's so lame that they can't be pregnant and really get it.
I think it's a common guy thing - I don't think they get how much more real it is for us and I'm not sure we get how disconnected they might feel and how surreal it all is.

Yup, I think that's exactly right. I was trying to explain that the baby already dictates everything I do. I think he may have gotten it a little bit? We will both be living it soon enough.
So I just got back from the Dr. and I'm 50% effaced and 1cm dilated. OB said I wouldn't make it to 40 weeks...not quite sure what that means though like how close to 40 weeks WILL I make it!?
Also, I got home, ate a piece of cheese and my tooth (cap) came out! Wtf?!?!! This day is just full of surprises. Now I have what feels like a huge ass hole in my mouth!
My pregnancy brain read this as you have a huge asshole in your mouth. Bahahahahahaha.
