It's Friday, Mamas! 
This discussion has been closed.
Re: Friday Randoms
Question- I am taking my maternity leave on 10/22. I would like to think I will not end up a lounging around the house for 4 weeks. I'm hoping I can make myself get to the gym at least 5 days a week to walk the treadmill. I never seem to have the energy after work. Anyone else planning on being more active to prepare for labor? Or am I just being unrealistic??
Yes, I cannot believe how many of our mamas are having babies right now. Shit just got real.
YES! I still have so much to do!
Umm...how do I make that work? I can't get a job for 3-4 months after baby, then another for 8 months, then another in a language I don't speak. And we can't afford for me not to work since our salaries are about equal, not to mention that I"m not happy if I'm not working.
I guess that counts as random.
I use the term "sleep" so lightly. I was up every 2 hours again to pee which I don't understand because I didn't drink anything after 4pm. Where is all this pee coming from? Then 5am, the worst leg cramp I've had this entire pregnancy. Doesn't help it's the same leg that my sciatica seems to be bothering me again.
Thank god it's Friday and thankfully it's a 3 day weekend for me. ^:)^
RE hospital bags: yesterday at my OB appointment they told me that they would not stop LO i'm coming if she did. They also highly encourage me to get my bag ready, my husband asked if I would have it ready I told him I didn't even have the list started yet. I suppose that's what I'll be doing tonight.
Last night we went to the State Fair if Texas. I felt like I could eat all the food. However I did do a good job in containing what I didn't ate a corndog, funnel cake, and a caramel apple. It was glorious except for after the funnel cake I looked down and I was covered from boob to belly in powdered sugar.
I also have a three-day weekend and we will be car shopping all weekend. Too bad it's going to be DH's car.

I'm back to work, all weekend. Still fairly sick, hoping work doesn't deplete my energy and cause this sickness to start to relapse
I had plans to do some nesting on my past few days off, but being sick totally ruined that.

@silverwings72 I'm hoping once I get to 36-37 weeks I can get back to walking at lunch most days with my mom. I was nervous to start that too soon becuase I didn't want to overdo it and end up in labor
As for hospital bag, mine is packed and ready to go, but I still haven't set up some of the baby furniture and haven't put the car seats in the car.
I have a (stupid?) question. Can stretch marks cause a throbbing under the skin...? I had this dull throb for a few hours yesterday in my lower, right belly. When I got home and was changing, my husband pointed out what he thinks is a stretch mark. I couldn't see it without a mirror, but it seems to be in the same vicinity as the throbbing. It's also tender to the touch. Does anyone have any experience?
My boss ambushed me yesterday on our way to a lunch meeting. He asked me for my feedback on new girl and I told him everything as diplomatically as I could. I also told him that I thought it was great that he had given her such a nice welcome (flowers, breakfast, lunch at a fancy place), but that he needed to do that for those of us who have been there for a while too. He pretty much said nothing while I spoke so I have no idea what he's thinking.
In other news- I'm done work 3 weeks from today! WOOT!
Each one of the little things has a message written to the baby or me from one of the sisters. I think I'm taking it to my shower this weekend to hang up there too. I love it!
This reminded me of something. I had a few pairs of baby leggings on my registry and it shows that two of them were purchased, but I never received them- isn't that weird? Either someone is holding on to them until they see me (which will likely be never!) or they decided they liked them too much and kept them.
On the bright side, it's so exciting to see all these babies. The nerd in me wants to make a graph showing how far along all the mamas were when babies arrived just to see the distribution...
Edit: ha -a typo changed my whole meaning! Oops!
Yeah, I would enjoy that, too!!!
Sorry so many of you ladies slept crappy last night. That is the one thing i really can't complain about this pregnancy, but I remember how horrific it was for me last time.
I can't believe we had 3 babes born yesterday!!!! Insane!!!! In other news, it's totally messing with my head because many of these babes are right around 34-35 weeks, which is when my girls were born. I'm officially the "farthest" pregnant I have ever been!
Dear Baby Boy,
Please do not fall out any time soon. I'm just not ready.
Love,
Your Slightly Freaked Out Mama
I don't ask for help nor do I know how to give up control. This having a baby and needing/accepting help thing is going to be very hard for me, I think. On the other hand, I'm hoping once the baby is here, it will be much easier for me to accept the help and not let my OCD nonsense get in the way. I've always been the "If you want something done right do it yourself" kinda gal
