Re: Sunday Randoms
So excited for some more N14 babies to arrive today!
38 weeks today and officially passed the point where I had DS and am the most pregnant I've ever been
Fingers crossed my mood behaves better than it did yestersay.
I'm up, cause appearently leg cramps don't know you can sleep in on the weekends.
On the bright side, I'll get a nap today!
@bethas Ohhh yay, hopefully that means the baby is on the way!
@FhSTAR81 a pj movie day sounds perfect
@sweetbabyrahe happy 38 weeks due date buddy!
@hidingangel82 hugs just cause.
I was up at 3 with the dog because he's scared of the wind. I ended up having peanut butter toast and some tea and finally getting back to bed around 5:30. I should clean the house today but I'm not sure how much ambition I have to do that. My cold is in full force now so I might have to join Addison and @FhSTAR81 with their pj movie day.
Have a great Sunday ladies!
I think we're going to go to church this morning, and I'll get some baby prep done today. I've been doing some heavy cleaning and organizing over the last few days. I don't think it's nesting, though. I think I'm just trying to trick myself into nesting.
Hey, are any of you N14 moms planning on CD-ing? We ordered some GMD prefolds yesterday because I didn't think I had enough of my Bummies. I didn't know if anyone had any thoughts. I stalk the CD board on occasion (which is a very active board), but I'm afraid to just jump in.
I feel better right now laying in bed with the cats, and not sure what to do today. I wanted to run errands, but afraid of exacerbating things if I truly was having musculoskeletal pain like the doc said. Prob a football and couch day.
I haven't been to the CD forum yet but should check it out.
@FhSTAR81 I hope Addison is on the mend! As far as not throwing up I'd seriously be side eying my body and trying not to be absolutely thrilled I hadn't yet for fear of jinxing myself!! I had HG with my first pregnancy and it was utter misery but such a routine! Here's to hoping maybe it's ended a bit early for you?!
@MmmPopcorn We are cloth diapering! I prefer pockets however and don't really know much about prefolds at all! Most of my stash is BumGenius 4.0's, a few Fuzzibunz, and Kawaiis. He won't be able to wear them until closer to two/three months old but I'm kind of happy we won't have to worry about extra wash (not that it's that much at all) while establishing breastfeeding, and getting used to later nights all over again. I cloth diapered my second and learned a ton so this time it hasn't been such a mystery. If you have any questions I miiiiight be able to help!
@FhSTAR81 I hope the nebulizer helps Addison feel a little better.
@bethas well at least the decision has been made and you like the one he got.
@heisenberg I know the feeling about the hangover when we hang out with friends and everyone else drinks I feel the same way in the morning.. So weird. Sorry about your MIL. You both look great in the pic, extra points for even attempting to wear heels!
I am super excited that Football is on so early here today (8:30 am). Yay London game! I am also having lunch with a couple of friends from high school, which will be tons of fun.
Also on a funnier note, when DH and I went to the doc on Wednesday she mentioned that the only thing that will kickstart labor is sex, so yesterday DH in all seriousness says should be put together a sex schedule so that we keep ourselves on track? Lol I love him, I think he feels like it is something he can do to help the process, and he just wants to meet his daughter so bad.
Have a good Sunday Moms, and I will be stalking the announcements like everyone else!!

Woke up to a text from my sister! She said, come to the house I am making you breakfast! Yay:) she must be home from college!
Parker is coming to see me today. He said we can go shopping. Whoop whoop!
Good luck to all the babies being born!!!!
@heisenberg - Looking good!! Seriously, how do you do that? Heels? I am jealous! and I agree with you about the wedding. If you have to get on an airplane in your ninth month of
pregnancy , it's too far. I swear some
women forget what it's like to
be pregnant.
@sweetbabyrahe - this is so exciting !! I feel like we are anxiously awaiting your LO. Any day now...
A couple contractions here and there. This week is going to be long, waiting to see if I can make it past the point of my first pregnancy.
Also made a football shaped pancake and am quite proud of myself.
@MmmPopcorn, we cloth diaper. Ds was in them for 2yrs till we potty trained 8wks ago. We only used pockets so no experience with pre-folds.
With DS we had 24 GoGreen 4.0 Champs and did wash every other day when he was an infant. Started using them at about 2.5wks old when his cord stump had fallen off and fully healed. We added 20 Alva Color Snap 4.0's to our stash this time so we can stretch out to washing every 3-4 days. Having 2 little ones to take care of now I don't want to wash as often. Ds uses Grovia Pull Up Trainers over night as we still have some overnight accidents but didnt want to put him in a true diaper since he is 100% in underwear during the day.
Choosing types of CD that will work for your family and lifestyle can be a bit overwhelming at first. We found a local cloth diaper boutique and took a 2hr class on all the differnet types, how to uae them how to care for them, etc. It was super helpful in getting my DH to buy into CD'ing because he was on the fence and also helped us be confident that we were stocking up on the right type for our families needs.
@lizzielu82 Pumpkin cheesecake sounds amazing
@bethas Glad to hear DH figured out the seat situation! Choosing seats was a pain for us, too.
It feels very surreal to have made it to 36 weeks today. Our little ladies are so close to being considered full term! Having some cramps off & on, but nothing painful or regular. Aside from that... just feeling massive & awkward? +1 to team waiting game.
Hope everyone is able to get some R&R in today!
It's twin girls!! Born on 11-2-14!
All these babies are crazy! I am still in denial that my due date is 3 weeks away. I have no signs of anything going on. People are already asking me if I think it will be soon. I reply with yeah....soon....as in the next 3 weeks.
My goal is to do as little as possible today. I need to get reacquainted with my couch. Right now though I am going to cook bacon and pancakes for SD and her friends that slept over. Mmmmm.....pancakes....
Happy Sunday funday everyone!
Nov. '14 January Siggy : Work Sucks!
Me 32-DH 38
Married July 14, 2007 ----- TTC # 1 October 1, 2013
BFP March 7, 2014 ----- EDD November 17, 2014 ---- Baby boy born November 16, 2014
@smboswell1 An N14 mama posted about turning over onto your stomach instead of back and that has been a HUGE help for me.
@AnnieRoo13 I hope your cold goes away quickly and in the meantime you get a relaxing day in PJs.
@MmmPopcorn I am planning to CD and got a mix of prefolds, GMDs, Bummies, and some Thirsties to see what works best for us. And I got a mix of covers (Thirsites, Econobums, Bummies) since I know that is where fit comes into play the most. When I was researching prefolds those three brands tended to be the top rated ones. And I wanted to avoid microfiber like the plague because it tends to have more issues (smell, absorbency) and isn't as good for babies skin. Still have to prep all the diaper supplies though...
Finally got up at 10am this morning, but still exhausted from the gym yesterday. How can 50 minutes on the elliptical make me soo, incredibly tired? I was going super slowly, took a nap afterward, and am still exhausted from it. No gym today...
Went out for Ethiopian food with hubby last night, which was awesome, exactly what I felt like. Making bacon and pumpkin pancakes for breakfast.
The "wishing for early labor thread" has gotten a little out of control, but yesterday when baby stopped moving for several hours I definitely started to think I might be more comfortable with her on the outside where I can at least tell that she's still alive. Luckily hubby reassured me that she was fine, just tired from the gym, and that I should relax.
@SarahMaureenF I'm with you on the cold. Why would the universe allow us to get sick at 9 months pregnant? Seriously not fair.
@howin23 mmmm Ethiopian food! Jealous! Also I take full blame for that thread getting out of hand. Silly me.
Totally forgot to get BIL a birthday gift yesterday while shopping. I'm so dumb. We have a family dinner tonight and him and DH and we don't have a gift. Any last minute suggestions for a really hard to buy for 34 year old man??? Budget around $50.
@FhSTAR81 is that jello still down? I think the universe just thought one sick "Star" family member at a time was enough!
I'm with all the non-nesters. I'm at the "OMG NOTHING IS DONE!!" freak out stage, but still have no motivation to do it, though.
I do have my shower today, so I'll have to do some work afterwards. I hope I'm more motivated than 'just shove it in a drawer.'
I may be motivated for pancakes after this thread!!
The last few times we've been in this predicament we've stopped by a growler filling station and purchased an inexpensive growler filled with craft beer. Tie a bow on it and voila - $30 for a neat gift, and he can keep the growler to refill on his own later. We've just started getting some decent filling stations around here so you may have to google to see if there are any around you if this is something you think he would like. Are you in Ottawa? I know you're in Canada but I'm sorry I don't remember where. https://www.ottawabeerevents.ca/growlers-in-ottawa.html
Me in my best Mom voice- (I use the voice on prisoners and it seems to work pretty good!)
- Take it easy on yourself today. You are not superwoman! You are carrying a child inside of you for crying out loud! Now, take some deep breaths and focus on one thing to accomplish today.
Hope that helps :P
@emw87 I missed the day the doc ruined team green, but saw you mention it late on. That sucks! Glad you seem to be taking it in stride.
On CDing- we will be cding, mostly with bumgenius. I do have some hybrid fitteds and overnight dipes that are super cute and work really well. Just not sure how practical they will be for my family. The pul diapers seem to be a lot more acceptable to childcare providers.
I posted earlier this week about having some complications, but didn't go into detail. I was kinda in denial and hoped not talking about it would make it go away :-)
I've had borderline bps since August and have been checking my bps 3x a day and shoot checking my urine for protein at least once a week since then. Monday my bps went just over 140/90 and stayed that way through Tuesday. I went to l&d Tuesday afternoon (36w 3d) and the resident wanted to induce me like immediately. I declined until all the labs came back. I stayed overnight, all my labs were normal and my bps went back down to just below 140/90.
Now I'm diagnosed with pregnancy induced hypertension. At this point, they don't want me to go past 39 weeks, so if i hang in there, I'll be induced in 2 weeks. If at any point my bps get too high for too long or my lab work shows changes or I get symptoms, I'll be bumped up to pre-e and induced immediately.
I'm bummed because I just want baby to be able to come when it's ready. I get how dangerous bp issues are, so I'm not going to do anything stupid, but still. I was hoping for a med free birth at my hospital's birth center. I can't even get my mw or new high risk doc to tell me if i can go to the birth center still.
Anyways, long rambling here. Sorry. I'm just hoping i make it to 38w6d and go into labor on my own :-)
Hang in there!
Eta- on the shower date- i thought i was going to miss mine yesterday! Fortunately, I made it. Maybe you can have a sip and see? :-)
I'm still here trying to induce labor (I know... Hot topic after seeing that other thread) but since little man has once again stopped growing (for 3 weeks now) doctor will likely induce on Tuesday if I don't go into labor on my own by then. She was convinced I wouldn't last more than a few hours after last Tuesdays membrane sweep (she choose to do that as an attempt at labor to avoid induction). I've had tons and tons and tons of contractions. Seems like they're pretty much always 15 min apart, all day, every day -- but my dilation has stalled out at 3-4 cm. Even managed to convince DH to try sex (not nearly as magical as I was expecting it to be after having abstained for 36 weeks, lol go figure!) Thursdays L & D visit had me convicted it was to time... But nope. Unless my contractions progress me past the 3-4 cm dilation(or water breaks/there are BP issues) L & D won't keep me. So boo... Unless something happens within 48 hours it looks like I'm headed towards holding a baby by mid week via an induction. Either way the end result and his health are worth it!
Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!!
