Happy Monday! (Oxymoron I guess.)

We have been so busy these past few weeks and there is no end in sight! Coming to work may actually provide a reprieve for today. Our hospital/dept was a part of Operation Walk (people without insurance get total joint replacements at no cost to them) on Saturday so I got a 1 day weekend. Fulfilling, but tiring!

Have a great day!

I just got my 500 comments badge. It was a comment about pooping.

My alarm goes off in four minutes. I hate being up before my alarm.

elleswarth · December 2014

I feel like baby has dropped, as there's a lot more pressure going on down there. Ending shift 3 of 3 in an hour and my bed is going to be amazeballs. Hoping to get the outside Christmas lights up this afternoon and drink all of the coffeeeee. Happy Monday!

I have today off so I love that it is Monday!!

snowbaby1214 · December 2014

Good morning! I have to get kids ready for school, package 6 things that I sold on-line and go off to work. At least I have tomorrow off! I am beat.

amandad715 · December 2014

@elleswarth‌ I'm feeling a difference too lately. But for the first time in 3 pregnancies, I've felt this baby near/ in my ribs. I'm pretty short and could always feel movement in my hips But holy heck, I'm having a hard time getting comfortable.

Also, Happy Gloomy Monday! It's raining here. Boo. I painted my nails last night and after sleeping they got all messed up. Annoying.

FitmomJess · December 2014

These last few weeks of pregnancy seem like years but they are going to go by so fast. Eek!

snowbaby1214 · December 2014

@CrazyMonkeyBear, it is 21 here! I threw out some recycling this morning and nearly froze my belly off!

What's up with the influx of medical AW newbs?

D14 has over 100 babies now!

dash419 · December 2014

Morning!

Wide awake at 1:45 in the morning I panicked at the realization that I have presents I still need to buy, my house still needs cleaning, that the office still needs to be converted & my LO has no clean clothes!

So what do I do? Get up and start cleaning of course. It's the middle of the night & I'm sorting through baby clothes to wash, sweeping my floors, moving stuff into the garage. I finally got busted at 3:30 by SO when I dropped books that I was boxing up & he woke up wondering what was going on.

May go back to sleep for a bit. Hope everyone has a good Monday!

MusicFanatic · December 2014

It's 35 here, not too bad. Still staying in today, though! I have two more Christmas gifts to get, but they're both available online on Amazon so I may just do that. Then I'm doooooone.

HStrawberry · December 2014

Friday night a 2'x4' fell on me while we were framing in a bedroom. Thankfully it only landed on my wrist but it's been swollen since and I've been pretty useless (well I had planned to crochet and make some pottery which both heavily rely on having two functional wrists). I have been making photo books online for two days and will again today.. I feel like I'm going cross eyes from staring at the computer screen so long. Hopefully tomorrow I can do something more exciting

I would rather be up 4 mins before the alarm as opposed to four hours....
And morning everyone hope you all have an amazing day

Edvent · December 2014

Up before my alarm here too. I'm near end of the 24 urine catch and having to deal with that in the middle of the night makes it so hard to go back to sleep! Then I was having anxiety about the results and what they'll mean... Between that, random heartburn at 1am after DH woke me up with some insane snoring, and DD crying at 5 it's not been a great night!

On a happy note we got our whole house decorated (outside lights, tree, stockings, etc) over the weekend and I'm loving it! It's our first Christmas in our own home and it feels so special. Also I have a growth scan this morning at 8, so I'll get a peek at my new LO in just over an hour!

readyforround2 · December 2014

So I was going to complain about being in the 80s all week and then waking up to it being 57 and rainy, but after reading some of the weather posts I'm going to keep my mouth shut lol.

My other random was that I cried this morning after opening the dryer and realizing that the baby blankets and clothes in there were for Zoey...not another niece or the little one we sometimes babysit down the street...they are for MY baby. That's amazing and terrifying all at the same time.

A onesie got mixed in with our laundry over the weekend, and it was the strangest feeling pulling it out of the laundry basket when I wasn't expecting it and knowing "this is our laundry now. Little baby laundry."

Josie400 · December 2014

I'm so behind at work since I was instructed on taking a half day due to my blood pressure on Thursday and having a lengthy appointment on Wednesday. I was going to catch up over the weekend, but that never happened.
It's so hard to get everything wrapped up at work for my replacements when I don't know the exact week baby will decide to show. There's always loose ends and I hate that.

BookitBoo · December 2014

I wrapped DS's birthday presents this weekend. I can't believe he's growing up so quickly!

I had the sudden realization while doing laundry that by becoming a mom I volunteered to wash another human beings underwear for the duration. I still don't know why that was so striking, since it's nbd really.

LuckyPenny1231 · December 2014

I was awake from 1-5am last night. Soooo tired. Listening to DH sleep next to me made me want to strangle him with my pillow.

I have an OB appt this morning. Why do I always weigh more the day of my appt than I did the day before? Every single time.

LuckyPenny1231 · December 2014

Well just got a call that my appt is canceled because the Dr is out sick. Now do I eat my oatmeal and orange or take DD out for doughnuts? Decisions...

BookitBoo · December 2014

Oatmeal and oranges now, doughnuts for second breakfast.

Doughnuts! This should not be a question lol

@9513 Don't go outside, at all. My FI keeps complaining it's cold... at 18 freaking degrees this morning, I was sweating but he was freezing. Go figures.

I have no intentions of it! I got home from work at 10:30 last night and it was brutally cold! I plan to stay in all day and pack my hospital bag / clean. Thanks for the heads up!

LadyXaverian · December 2014

This is my last full week of school before Christmas vacation. Next week, we have 2 full days, 2 half days with students (even though teachers stay full day), and 1 half day for all students and teachers, though no students ever show up on that day.

Since there is a chance my OB will tell me at my Jan. 2nd 36 week appointment that he wants me to not go back to work (which is what happened with DD1 due to sudden spike in blood pressure), this feesibly could be my last full week with students until the end of March. Wheeee!!!! I'm so ready to get into baby mode.

AlfiesMOM · December 2014

I slept like dog pooh last night thanks to some awesome heartburn! I was so out of it this morning this other mom at E's daycare asked "how was your weekend" and I said good and walked away! I felt horrible when I realized I didn't ask her but my brain was just blank. Ughhhh

llambrose · December 2014

I sent my boss an email at 6 am this morning asking it I could work from home the first part of the day which she said was fine (yay!). Now I get an email from our setup crew supervisor that they need my help at 11 am with the setup for my event tonight. I was not planning on going in until around 2 but now I feel bad. There is no way I can make it in by 11 though...

britb618 · December 2014

Morning ladies! Had a great weekend! We decorated the ten foot tree that my husband Clark Griswold bought on Friday then Saturday we got to see our little man on 3d and hd live and he cooperated which was awesome and then we went up to Boston for massages and dinner at top of the hub (52 floors up overlooking Boston) followed by a night stay in a hotel and I slept in until....8 a.m. I prob haven't done that since my daughter was born! Amazing

peggels24 · December 2014

The baby is very excited about the orange juice I just had. I wish she would calm down a little bit - it kinda hurts.

I didn't get any baking done this weekend so I guess the next two weekends will be full of baking

I think I'm going to freeze some of my favorite cookies for when after the baby is born - then I can just pull them out when company is coming over (or for MOTN snacks for DH and I).

peggels24 · December 2014

@mrsdigger10 You can freeze either the dough or the cookie after it's been baked. I've never done either before but I'm going to freeze the baked cookies (using sturdy cookies like choc chip, oatmeal raisin, sugar cookies, etc) and see what happens. It allegedly preserves freshness for up to like 6 months?

And, who are we kidding... they won't last 3 months!! Worth a try!

My thoughts exactly!

susannahbrynn · December 2014

I swear this baby's favorite foods are all going to be Christmas foods. I can't stop eating them. Clementines, eggnog, anything peppermint....I shove them all in my face.

Yesterday I bought a heating pad. It's freaking magical. I should have bought one months ago. (Also, this makes me feel like a real mom, for some reason. I have a thermometer, a heating pad, and feel sure I'll be good at kissing ouchies. Those are good mom qualifications, right?)

4littlebears · December 2014

I'm in this nasty pregnancy vortex. So close to d-day and still so far away. It feels like it will literally be ages before I feel normal again and I have my snuggly baby. I will never be pregnant again, so I feel like I *should* be enjoying it but I'm not. Baby's kicks are so hard, they hurt. And I know all too well that once baby's here, a whole other childhood is going to flash before me so I'm afraid I'm going to miss it. It doesn't feel like 8 years since my first was born, 5 since my second, and 3 since my last. Why is time so cruel??

MusicFanatic · December 2014

@MrsDigger10 - you are prepared!! I have to say, I absolutely loved my freezer meals after Zoe came. I didn't have 4 weeks worth, but my mother and husband prepared some together while I was in the hospital and we had about 2 weeks worth. It was SO great to have because ain't nobody got time to cook with a newborn (or feel up to it physically). Was so great to have those to just plop out and still have homemade food.

Also, thanks for the refried bean recipe. I'm going to make those sometime. I love them, but I've never made them!

SheHulk723 · December 2014

DH and I both have the day off so we're being lazy and watching some tv. Baby girl was just sticking her butt out so I was touching my belly and said "baby!" DH jumped over to me and said "you get to feel her all the time, I wanna feel her!" Then he put his head on my belly. It was adorable. I can't wait to see what kind of father he's going to be.

britb618 · December 2014

@shehulk723, a daddy and his daughter is the sweetest sight to see! I haven't experienced the dad with his son thing yet but looking forward to it

funinthenorth · December 2014

I went in for my 2 hr glucose test today. Fun times!

Now I have potato leek soup on the stove and I'm chowing down on eggnog cake.

TXUltraRunner · December 2014

I'm so over painful, nighttime contractions. I just need one night of decent sleep

caitylady12 · December 2014

This is a good Monday, BF and I finally had sexy time last night for the first time in at least two or three months! I'm very surprised to say that I don't have any hip or lady bits pain today! I think sexy time is going to be a nightly thing if I keep feeling this way afterwards!

Oh and I had two donuts for breakfast!

BookitBoo · December 2014

@littlefoote‌
I'm glad you're making a conscious effort to be more positive, I'm sure it will help! Sometimes I have to stop in the middle of a difficult day and remind myself to be more positive, because negative doesn't do anything but make me more cranky.
And Sexy time always helps me feel more positive

My inlaws will be here for DS's birthday on Friday. I'm slowly working on cleaning, and keep getting distracted by organizing projects. I know I can get everything I want done in time! I can do it!
