I'm calling the doc as soon as they open. This virus is no joke, I can't keep water down and I slept I the recliner so I could breathe. Everyone I cough I'm hacking something up. 3 weeks left and I come down with the plague. Argh.
Oh, no! Hope you'll be able to feel better after your visit!
I'm finally moving back into my home today! We moved out for a remodel/addition project in Jan.
I finally get to nest at 36 weeks! I am sooooooo excited to get back home.
Hell yeah! That's so awesome -- congrats! Also, is it still considered nesting if I'm cleaning everything in sight...at work??
@saraheh007 that's awesome!! Enjoy nesting. Labor will be around the corner if you start nesting.
I am so happy it's Friday. I have a really great weekend lined up, I just hope I can make if to everything! Tonight DH and I have a date night planned. Tomorrow is one of my girlfriends wedding shower and bachelorette party. I was supposed to be in the wedding but it is 5 days after my EDD so I had to drop out, so I am just happy to support her in whatever way I can!
Then probably what I am most thrilled about is my Uncles one year heart party on Sunday. He was in and out of the hospital with endless surgeries for a few years, when finally a year ago he received a much needed heart transplant. He is such a loving man and has 5 young grand children, I am so happy he is still with us and was able to receive such a gift.
I know organ donation is a scary concept and very personal choice, but I would just encourage anyone to consider where you stand personally and if it is in line with your beliefs, consider becoming a donor, if you aren't already. My heart goes out to the family that lost a loved one, but my Uncle is alive today because of their choice to be an organ donor and I can't think of a better way to honor a lost life than by helping someone else live theirs. Ok, sorry, I will get off my soapbox now!
I got no sleep last night. The a/c was at 65, I had a fan blowing on me, slept on top of the covers, and I was using an ice pack like a teddy bear. Still too damn hot to sleep. I have a feeling I'll be napping after I put the kids on the bus, and FI will be all, "are you going back to sleep?" and I'll be like:

OMG that was me too. DD2 was up at 5am .... Stuffed my fat feet into my shoes, walked DD1 to the bustop and now I'm waiting impatiently for DD2 to crash and take an early nap.
I got up to pee in the middle of the night....aaaaaand that was that. So long, sleep!
The fact that I didn't punch someone yesterday is a small miracle. And no, nasty client who has already yelled at 5 employees, I will not look up the pharmacies near your house to call and see if you can get the $8 antibiotic cheaper somewhere else. I'll call it in where ever you want but refuse to do your work for you because you're "too busy."

I feel the same way . I was up almost all night between thecoughing and puking. I have my weekly appointment at noon. Im hoping he can do something.
Furniture is being put together by the Bellini delivery folks as I type this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glider is supposed to be here by 11!!! ) 8-} I'll finally be able to get the nursery ready!
I wanted DH to put the crib together, but since it's being done by the delivery guys I am just going to have him place the final screws so he feels like he did something.

Last night I went to Costco to stock up on some items and 2 things…
1) Since it was 8 pm and too late to actually eat at their food court, I had their nonfat yogurt. It. was. so. good. I crave ice cream almost daily but only eat it occasionally and don't keep any in the freezer.
2) They had their Christmas stuff out. WTH? Summer is not even officially over yet and they already have Christmas stuff out… like over 3 months ahead. I love Christmas and all but that's just too much.

Just can't handle anymore wondering by everyone else if I'm in labor. Or trying to figure out how to entertain my toddler while I have prodromal labor (every 5-7mins) for 8 hours.
Sleep is not happening and I have spent a significant portion of the last three days ugly crying about everything ever.
:-L (
I really hope baby comes soon!

Last night, we had a big argument and I decided to go to bed. I stomped upstairs and put myself to bed. Two minutes later he decides to come and join me. He immediately falls asleep and starts snoring. Guess who got to sleep in the extra bedroom.... this girl.
DH and I are driving each other crazy. We are just constantly getting under each other's skin. I feel like I'm an emotional mess and he's being insensitive. I know he is tired of me feeling like crap and just wants it to stop. I want things to get better before the baby's born, but I'm not sure it's going to happen.
Not to be a downer but there's a possibility that it could actually get worse after baby comes when both of you are exhausted and you are getting very little sleep. I think you know the usual advice but just know that the whole thing is normal and as long as you try to be patient with both of you, it will eventually get better.

I am right there with everyone else and damn tired today. Today is supposed to be my last day in the office, and based on the work load I have... this will not be happening. I very well could be working up until I go into labor. Praying I can pull this all off before this baby comes. which is scary because I was having lots of back pain and contractions last night. It has subsided, but a reminder that I am quickly running out of time....

Had my 35 week appt yesterday. Doc said I was measuring at 34 so baby could be dropping. I got so tickled because things are happening towards baby time. Not just another friggin mystery ache. We're so not prepared but I don't care. Still got a month to fill in the blanks. Refusing to freak out.
Any excuse to 'celebrate' with a soy mocha frap from Starbucks...
@golfingdarwinfish I guess it depends on how long they are there & how difficult the job was. But, I would think that $10 would be sufficient! Now if they're there for a long period of time then you could increase the tip accordingly.

Wow I'm in on page 2! Amazing! So I drive 90 miles to the big city to go to my 2 appointments today, first appointment was at 6am. Guy didn't show up! I sat there for 15 minutes, finally went to the desk to ask the receptionist what's up since there were no other people there at this time of morning, and she says "oh I just got a call a few minutes ago, he won't be in today". Are you f-ing kidding me!?! Thanks for just letting me sit here and wait! I'm glad I decided to go up to the desk and bug her, or I'd probably still be sitting there. I'm pissed because I totally could have slept in this morning! My next appointment isn't until 11am (4hrs from now), at my MFM for my 36wk check, so now I get to find something to do until then. I'm thinking a target run since we don't have one where I live.
To all the " ladys" feeling crappy, I'm sorry and I hope you feel better super soon!
Took today off work for an R&R day. Dog has a spa appt at 1 to get shaved, bathed, and her nails trimmed. Monday I start training my temp replacement at work, and Friday the 26th is my last day until March 23rd! :-O I had some lower cramping last night after O. Front and back. So of course I was thinking I'd probably started labor. 8-| Today the back cramps are gone and just a few light cramps in the front. I just need her to stay in until at least 4:31pm when I clock out of work on Sept 26th. Then she's good to come.
Just put an egg on the stove to hard boil, went upstairs to do some stuff....aaaaand completely forgot about it. The water was almost completely gone when I finally rememberd. Welp, I guess it's definitely cooked.
I need shopping help. I want to order a whiskey barrel & white whiskey to put in it on the day LO is born so that it will age until his 21st birthday (I know this may be a lofty ambition). But I can't decide what barrel to get.
Working from home today due to elevated BP. OB ran pre-e blood panels yesterday so we are waiting to hear back on those results.
@DreadGamerWife I was just thinking about you today and wondering how/where you've been! FX for good news!
@MRSclarke08 - I actually had to work most days these week - can you imagine that. Work actually wanted me to be productive! My replacement was visiting from CA, so I had almost no time to bump during the day.

DH has been freaking whenever I call him at work these days. Even when I let him know in advance that I am going to call him (like after a dr appointment). I hope that I don't have to call him at work to let him know to come home so we can go to the hospital - the poor guy will be so frazzled if that happens.

FMIL just called and asked when we were going to be up in Bismarck. I'm like "um...when I go in labor?" Apparently that answer is not acceptable. She needs to know exactly what day, so she can plan accordingly. What exactly do you need to plan, woman? You don't work right now. You sit at home or you go to rummage sales. She's saying that since I "won't tell" her when the big day is, she may decide not to be available. She is seriously pissed that I don't know when I'll go into labor.
I normally love this woman, even though she annoys the crap out of me, but she's not my favorite person right now.
I dumped ice tea all over my lap at work... and now I found out they are shutting down our internet and electric for the next hour which means I will get nothing done before my 11AM meeting!! Go figure.
