& I'm up at 1am with major insomnia good thing I fell asleep on that couch at 8 so I've already slept 5 hours(minus the 3 bathroom trips) .. This may be all I get lol. Anyone else up?
I've been up since 5am yesterday....I am miserable
I'm so sorry .. I can't even imagine what you're feeling and how tough this must all be on you.
thanks. I'm just so stressed and my mind won't calm down at all to let me sleep. I have a doc appt this am, then hospital, then meeting with our ped this afternoon. Should be good on no sleep? I would give Anything to be able to have a blank mind for a few hours.
Normally I know a busy day is a good distraction but of course that doesn't make things any easier. And sleep is definitely needed... Will you have time to sneak in a nap during the far between your appointments?
Hi ladies! Add me to 3am club. I was so hoping when I rolled over and looked at the clock it would be somewhere near 6 at least. Not a chance.
I used to really love sleeping. I loved that feeling of waking up rested and ready to attack the world. Now, I've come to dread it. I wake up at bizarre hours and naps during the day don't even help.
Hopefully LO gets here before thanksgiving and I can pass him off to my mother so I can indulge in a massive turkey induced coma.
I'm up as well. Meh. Heartburn is gone but now I can't get comfy. At least I got some sleep from About 9- 2. That's pretty darn good for me lately! I'm going to try and get comfy so I can get more sleep.
@IndianaMommy08 - hugs to you, Mama. Try and rest for a few hours, you have a lot going on and need to try and sleep even if it's just a little bit.
Thinking of you @IndianaMommy08 I had a really tough time with my grandpas death a few years ago. I don't know if it sounds silly but I wrote a letter to him telling some of my favorite memories and what he meant to me. I read it to him and even though I don't know how much he heard, for some reason it really helped give me closure.
I managed a full night's sleep last night. I think it had a lot to do with the new pillow fort formation I've been using as a nest at night. Baby hasn't dropped yet, so I still only need one pee break a night.
I'm so effin' sick of political ads. NC has a big senate race this year, and I can't handle the 15 ads that come on during each break while I watch the morning news. Besides, I already sent in my absentee ballot. You're not changing my mind, you're just making me angry.
It finally feels like fall outside. I'm going to have to wear socks today. If I can get them on.
So sorry for those if you that can't sleep!! I get up 4-6 times a night to pee .. BUT my neighbor just had a baby and insisted on getting me a pregnacy body pillow. It has seriously been a game changer for this last few weeks (which have been the hardest for me, 38 weeks now) absolutely love it! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0000635WI/ref=s9_top_hm_bPtsmJ_g75_i1#
@heisenberg My DH came to the first appointment, the two when we had ultrasounds, and then a 34 week appointment that had a group chat after with a midwife. Between their location and hours it just meant too much time off work that we both would rather him save for when LO is here. I'm actually hoping that the baby comes on a Friday night so we can maximize how much time he gets home! I doubt LO will cooperate but a girl can hope, right?
West Coast time zone here. Been up since 4am. Ugh...the frequent bathroom trips are killing me. Thankfully I'm already on maternity leave. Two more weeks to go...unless LO decides to show up early.
@FhSTAR81 - Whoa lady! Slow it down - you're making the rest of us look bad. So far today, I've managed to get myself to work and get some coffee and that's about it!
@heisenberg - Have fun at your sono today! My husband also only comes to ultrasound appointments. My doctor's office is like 10 minutes from my work so it's easy for me to just run there during my lunch hour.
@aragosta - Thinking of you and Will today and hoping he does well off the vent!
I had a really busy weekend and I am worn down! We didn't get nearly as much stuff moved back into the house as we had hoped because our painter SUCKS and didn't finish in time. He said he still needs a couple more days. There's a Monday Bitchfest dying to be written about him. But we did get to sleep in our own bed, in our own home last night which was marvelous!
@IndianaMommy08 - I hope you get some sleep today, and everything is going well with your grandma!
@aragosta - lots of prayers for your little Will!! Breath, little guy!
@uncharted01 - I totally get the feeling of finally getting to love in your own house and sleep in your bed again! Hopefully your painter finishes things quickly!
We finally are back from the conference we were at...this is a trip I have been dreading since we bought the tickets! But it wasn't too bad...I was just up and down a lot to pee, walk and drink water. Felt so good to come home and be DONE with trips...we had four planned from the end of Sep. to the end of Oct!! I am so ready to be home til LO is born! Only 27 days to my due date!! Eep!!
@IndianaMommy08 Sending lots of hugs & positive thoughts your way.
@aragosta You & baby Will are in my thoughts today. You've been such a trooper. I admire your strength so much!
@FhSTAR81 I randomly thought of you during one of my insomnia episodes last night lol. Probably a stupid question, but curious... does your HG instantly flip a switch & go away as soon as you deliver? I hope so! Didn't know if it lingered w/ PP hormones or something. You must be so over it by now!
You know what I think would be an awesome enhancement for the bump, is a way for you to save your favorite threads somewhere. About a month ago or some someone mentioned an app for editing pictures on iPhone and I cannot find it.. And now I want the app.
@MmmPopcorn You're only getting up once at night? I'm so jealous! My
baby hasn't dropped yet either but 3 times is still the bare minimum.
@mseymou19
I completely agree on the Snoogle! I got it around 22 weeks when my
back started hurting at night and have relied on it since. I'm planning
to send my sister one as soon as she gets pregnant.
@aragosta Good luck! Hope it goes well for Will today!
@FhSTAR81 You cleaned the walls? I don't even want to clean the countertop!
I just blow
dried my hair! Such an accomplishment. I had to get my hair dryer out of
my hospital bag, but thought it was necessary since I'm getting a new
driver's license picture today. A nice dinner out with friends tonight
was just extra motivation, and now I have an excuse to skip the gym
too.
Since when do I snore? This is ridiculous. I guess it's just
the pregnancy swelling, but it's waking up my hubby. I've had to resort
to the tape-like nasal strips. It reminds me of that Modern Family
episode.
A gift arrived with absolutely no information and it
wasn't on our registry. Hubby is going to call the company, but it's a
wholesaler so I don't anticipate much luck.
@KUinCBUS - I hear you. My 4 yr old dumped all the pieces to 4 different puzzles into a box and is now throwing a fit because I told her to put them back. Even the promise of Raisinets is not enough bribery this morning.
About to get ready to go to DD1's parent/teacher conference with DH and DD2. Not expecting anything big other than her math. She is having a really hard time with it this year and DH and I aren't sure why. Hopefully the teacher will have some advice for us.
I purposely timed the conference so it would end close to DD1's lunchtime so we get to have lunch with her, too! Little did I know when I signed up for it a month ago that this would be DH's last week in town, so now it's extra special.

We celebrated DD's birthday yesterday and it was such a blast, but between cleaning, decorating and cooking all weekend, I am SO exhausted. I'm debating going and making my first cup of caffeinated coffee since my BFP. I just can't keep my eyes open or find motivation to work.
@IndianaMommy08 I'm so sorry for you and your family. Lots and hugs and love coming from over here!
@aragosta all the T&Ps for William today! I hope he does amazing without his breathing tubes.
@flutterbuggie I've been getting acupuncture now for a bit and its really not that bad. I don't do the best with needles so I just close my eyes. There are some spots that are definitely painful but the pain is more like a little sting and goes away quickly. If it hurts though, it means you needed that point!
Ladies I am soo beyond exhausted I want to break down and cry!! I think I'm going to leave work early today! My last day in the office is Thursday (Thank God almighty!)
So my countdown is now: 1 week left in the office 2 weeks till my mom and grandma get here 3 weeks till my RCS!!!
@ashris I'm ready for the weekly Goals check in... I feel like I was fairly productive this weekend!! But still soo much left to do!!
By the way, at the car clinic we went to they said that the seat protectors are actually not good because it makes the car seat slide and they said that the mirrors to see your children are no good as well; she said I might as well be texting.

I just recently had both installed in the car lol. DH has that base so snug in there it doesn't move AT ALL. No matter how hard you try.... our seat protester had a runner grip bottom so maybe that also helps? Deffinitely need to do some research on the mirror being a visual distraction. I have read that it can go airborne in an accident and so I purchased additional Velcro straps for reinforcement.. But now it seems we have some more things to consider!
@wildflower75 - that's an interesting thought about the car seat protector making the car seat slide around. I really wanted to get one, but now I'll have to reevaluate!
I am about to go full clean our car...when we were in Dallas last weekend, we parked our car under a tree, down town, and the birds pooped ALL OVER IT! It looks disgusting, ugh. There was a lot of ground around there, birds, why my car?
I am so easily startled today! This kid is going to give me a heart attack with all this random spazzing out kicking! Usually I can feel him tense up a little and I know he's about to let me have it, but not right now! Ow!
My appointment went well this morning. I think I will forgo cervical checks from now on though as I haven't changed at all.
Thank you all for your prayers. Visiting with my grandma went well. She was talking and said she was at peace. She is improving a little so I'm not sure where this is leading us. It was comforting to just sit and chat. Hopefully the doctors can provide more information later today.
I'm glad to hear it went well and she said she was at peace. I know that's probably not very reassuring to you right now, but maybe it will be later. Also, take comfort in the fact that you get to see her and chat a bit. ((hugs))

I'm glad you were able able to see and talk with her! You and the baby could very well be giving her the strength to stay strong! Praying for continued progress for her!
Random thought of the day: our kids will be the same year in school as Chelsea Clinton's and princess Kate's babies. Maybe they'll be college classmates!

My LO totally plans to marry Prince George and be a princess. I think Princess Cakeleigh Le'Mona has a lovely ring to it… :x
Just got back from my chiro appointment. She said my pelvis is moving well and I shouldn't have any problems delivering. Easy for her to say, but I'll take it!
@indianamommy08 - glad to hear your appointment went well and that you got to spend some time with your grandmother. Try to get some rest - it'll make a big difference!
@aragosta - keep us posted on Will! Lots of continued thoughts and prayers!
My random: Do any of ya'll have any sneaky tricks for this baby that is all up in my ribs? I am so uncomfortable I could cry! I can't eat more than two bites without feeling like it's just going to come right back up. I can barely breathe. I seriously just sat in Jason's deli for an extra 10 minutes because I didn't think I could get up and walk out after eating a cup of soup. Is this just something I have to wait out or am I missing out on some wonderful tip to relieve this pressure? I go to the dr tomorrow but don't feel like being uncomfortable at 35 weeks warrants a call... ugh the misery!

It's going to be a loooooong week and I just want to crawl back in to bed!

Just not comfy, and some heartburn. I'm not sure what actually wakes me up though.
