lol This reminds me of The Big Bang Theory when Penny says she runs until she gets hungry then stops for a bear claw.
DH is being a little pissy right now. I mentioned we should probably plug the deep freezer back in for freezer meals and he got his panties in a bunch. Apparently, he wants to live off of TV dinners and frozen pizza. Ummmmm no. A few here and there are ok but not every day. That's his dad coming out in him. Ugh.
Time to work on the baby's room today and I need to update our baby registry. But first I need to get off the couch...DH just called me lazy and I told him to shut the F up because I'm 7.5 months pregnant! He asked me how much longer I plan on using that excuse? 2 months babe! Can I punch him?
We did Christmas gifts with DH's extended family this morning and now I'm back at the hotel room to rest. My face has gotten incredibly oily this past week for some reason, and I was concerned about taking a nap and getting make up on the pillow case but then I remembered I'm not at home and these aren't my pillows so IDGAF!
@littlefoote I feel almost the same, but without the H part. He's trying to help, there's just nothing to do. I want Little Man to bake longer but...I also want my own physical space back. I want to stop being so uncomfortable. Also, I'm just excited to meet him!
I'm soo cranky today and it makes me homesick. I want all my fatty comfort foods! Dd had her 4 year shots yesterday and had a fever all night and was restless. She's also boycotting Santa thanks to the knock off crappy Hawaiian Santa she saw last week.
I want donuts and dunkin donuts coffee soo bad I could cry!
Having a pity party for 1 here. I waited too long to order my mom's gift on Etsy. Now the shop is closed for Christmas orders,and so are all the similar shops. I've been talking about it for a month and just never sat down to do it. I am so sad and disappointed. My mom is notoriously difficult to shop for and I really wanted to get her one of those personalized signature bracelet's with my nana's signature. My nana passed away last year and this is the perfect gift for my mom. I've been on & off crying about it all afternoon. Now I'm in a funk that I can't seem to get out if.
The only productive thing I've done today was get paint samples for Zoey's room. I've been spending more time in her nursery talking to her about my plans for it, and it's helped me lessen some of my anxiety. I did promise my husband that I would work on putting my hospital bag together while he's working tonight (he's a little paranoid about me going into labor early) but watching ABC Family's Christmas movies and taking a 2 hour nap sounded so much better. Now I'm starving and the pictures of chili and doughnuts are not helping! Lol I really want some chili but that would require me going to the store, which would mean I'd have to put on pants and that's not happening. Left over Greek salad and pizza it is!
We had an all day child birth class today. I was prepared that it may be a lot of information, but now I am thoroughly terrified of labor.
My husband and I had a similar experience. Kind of scary seeing and knowing all that can go wrong.
FWIW I thought labor was so much easier than they made it seem (with an epidural). I also felt like there were so many options and things to consider, but in the end just going with the flow was perfect for me. Hopefully your experience isn't as bad as you're imagining.

I could hold you for a million years
to make you feel my love.
The ladies I used to work with surprised me with a small shower yesterday, so I spent the day organizing baby stuff and making a cake for my friends 40th birthday, and taking the youngest to a birthday party. Now I'm finally relaxing because everyone is in the bed!!!
I was talking to someone today that knows someone due the same week as me. She was talking about how hard it must be to be 8 1/2 months pregnant and still taking care of her other kids.
I find myself feeling a little sad for this LO. It seems like with DD everyone was so excited, like grandparents were over the moon excited and eager to help anyway they could and be involved and not miss anything. But with this LO I feel like everyone is so complacent. It's like "oh, whatever, we already have a grand kid". Does anyone else get that feeling or am I alone?

Yep! This is grandSON número 7 on DH's side. So no one seems all that excited to me. But come to think of it, no one on that side was all that excited when I was pg with DS1. He was grandchild #4 and it was no biggie. I totally forgot up until now, how little excitement there was while I was pregnant. Now when he got here, it was all "ahhhh, a baby!!!" Makes me think if he was a she, H's family would be more excited this time to be finally getting a girl. Instead, it's like, "oh ANOTHER boy to throw in to the crazy." 5 years ago, It was MY family who was getting there 1st grandchild and 1st great-grandchild that were over the moon from the moment I shared I was pregnant. Complete polar opposite of H's family. For Xmas that year, we got all these presents for my 6m bump. It was cute. Now, this baby is 1 of 5 Grandkids. Not as much enthusiasm on my side either.
I will have to look at this further in the morning when I'm not on my phone. But from what I can see the Yyvonne Boutique was the original Etsy shop I'd bookmarked that is closed for holiday orders. But if it's through a different website, maybe Just maybe i can still order. Thanks!!

I totally get how you feel! My husband's parents don't seem to care at all, they are usually much more into their friends and what they want to do anyway and this will be their 4th grandchild. They are not all that into my daughter either though they made huge deal about my niece and nephew when they were born and still make more of an effort to see them even though we all live in the same town. My dad is crazy about my daughter but hasn't said much about this one. My mom was crazy about my daughter when she was little but now doesn't make as much of an effort to see her. She is excited to have another baby (this will only be the 2nd one on my side) but my mom is SUPER into my sister right now because she just got married to a man with 3 boys (ages 4,8, and 9). My mom always favors my sister and she is totally doing that right now. I feel like no one cares about this baby at all and it makes me sad. All my plans are totally up in the air because I don't even know if my mom is going to get time off work when he is born or even be there for the birth and I found out that my in-laws are going to Vegas (for like the hundredth time) just a few days after my due date so they might not even be around. I also feel so unsettled about what we will do with my daughter while I am in the hospital as it is seeming more and more like the grandparents are not an option. I really don't know who else could take her, she has only ever stayed with them. I am pretty frustrated with all of them right now and not looking forward to the holidays at all because all of this just makes me sad.
