Woke up an hour ago coughing. Booo. I have my third to last appointment today! I really have to pack my hospital bag. DH finally fixed the washer, so I am up to my elbows in laundry today.
My 5.30am potty break means I can't get back to sleep. DH and dog are still asleep, so here I am in bed. Hungry, though. Might sneak and try to get poptarts.
We have our last Kaiser-recommended class today. It's on BF. Yay?
And quality library time for me this evening. So close to being done with the semester.
@MusicFanatic, how is Zoe's weight? I was thinking of you two.
@snowbaby1214- I'll let you know later this morning Her last visit with her pedi was last week and she had hit her birth weight exactly at around 2 weeks (so 5lbs 15oz).. so I imagine in the 6+ pound range now? She has an appt at 9am so I'll post here with a weight update!
(Zoe Claire- born at 33.6 weeks- November 19, '14 - 5lbs 15oz)
I have my 37 week appt today! This should be interesting because I've never made it to my 38 week appt. I've gone early with my other two!
It's so exciting to see all of the January babies grow! It amazes me how big they're getting! A few are already almost a month old!
We're appointment twins @mshepherd20. Except I'm super confident I'll make it to my 38 week appointment next week. Good luck to you too today! Must be kinda nice to go a bit early… I had DS2 @ 38 weeks but I had a great deal of complications with him. DS1 was induced @ 42 weeks and DD1 was induced @ 41. I just want a definitive end in sight! I would at least hope for an induction date today, but it probably won't happen….
Wow, add up all those weeks and include this pregnancy and I've been pregnant 158 weeks of my life so far. I must be a masochist.
@snowbaby1214, wow, 158 weeks of pregnancy, that's a lot.
I helped DH make twice-baked potato casserole that he's taking for a work thing today, and I went to bed smelling like bacon. I don't really like bacon (I know, shameful).
Normal day for me here. I want to stop by and buy a Christmas present or two on the way home from work, and DH wants to finish decorating the tree tonight. We may have breakfast for dinner because it's easy.
Not much going on here. My next appointment isn't until next Thursday. My braxton hicks contractions have slowed down but lightening crotch has picked up. 2 weeks til Christmas! :-)

Yay! Good luck at your appt today! Here's hoping for some progress!

Today I will be in bed all day. I feel like death. My nose and throat are so dry. In congested. Wahh. Wahhhh. I feel like such a baby. On a normal sick day I would just overdose on Nyquil. On this sick day I'm just going to whine until my husband makes me tea and soup.
I think I may turn into a crooked lady. The last few days I can't sit up straight because I cannot breath properly so I'm always leaning to the side. I guess I'll just keep switching sides and end up straight at the end?
How is it only Thursday today?? This has been such a long week. I've been busy at work, so I would think the week would be moving along faster. I think it's because I just want to have my 36 week appointment already (next Tuesday). There were so many questions that I've had since my 34 week appointment.
Also, I feel guilty for not having my baby shower thank yous done yet. The shower was 11/29. I know if I just sit down and do it, it will go fast, but I put a lot of pressure on myself to have very personalized thank yous.
HouseGuest's coming in for the weekend tommorow, my house is not tidy. Ever since LO moved head down my back and hips are out of whack and I think she's been having a growth spurt cause I've been crazy exhausted and my ultrasound yesterday showed her measuring a week ahead. Usually she's in the 50th percentile, but when I need some extra time and energy for housecleaning? Turbo growth baby. I'm happy she's happy and growing, and moved to head down - but my baby joy is making it hard to feel bad for myself and wallow!
I'm a ridiculous list maker for everything. Recently, I keep coming up with lists of things that NEED to be finished before LO's arrival. When we finish everything on the list, I make a new one. Daily. And then I wonder why I don't feel ready for her to come.....
We have appointments for the boys to get haircuts in about an hour, and I don't want to go outside in the cold.
I only have TWO more Christmas gifts to wrap, and I'll be FINISHED!!! Maybe I'll be ready for a baby then?
This is the point at which DS1 was born, so I'm getting a bit antsy--even though I'm completely aware that I still have 2.5 weeks until my EDD.

This has been me at home and work. I make lists daily, and by the end of the day there's a new list..sometimes longer than when my day started. I'm constantly feeling behind.

Hope you feel better soon. Soup sounds amazing right now. What kind are you going to ask for? Nosy Nancy needs to know.
Today is my first real day off with no major plans. This means 4 loads of laundry and working on unpacking more boxes. Just thinking about it makes me want a nap already and I just woke up. Why do I always end up working harder on a day off than I do at work ?!

Well, Nosy Nancy.. I'm not sure yet. I'll update you as soon as he is home from dropping the girl off to school. I have a pretty good feeling that the only thing I'll get out of him is some ramen. That man sure does know how to treat a lady
I was on my way out the door for work, 10 minutes late, when I realized that it is Thursday- not Friday. I dare someone to say something about the jeans I am wearing today.
Good morning! Does anyone else think it's too early in the morning to be called rude multiple times on this board? The responses sure gave me an early morning laugh though!
I slept like I always sleep, crappy. Between hip pain and having to go to the bathroom I'm doomed. Today I plan to get caught up on work (the joys of owning your own business, you can put off work sometimes but only for so long) but I also have a bajillion cookies to make for 3 different occasions tomorrow. My back and legs are going to HATE me!
I had a sex dream last night (it was with James Marsden on a boat). This morning I told DH, "I had a dream that I had sex." He rubbed my belly and said, "You did, babe. About 8 months ago, and you have proof." Ha.
I'm not sick, I just really want some soup...mmmm. Ya know I could be sleeping another 1 1/2 hour- 2 hours, but for some reason when DH gets up for work, this LO decides she needs to wake up too and try to kick him as much as possible before he leaves the bed lil butt! But a little worried, no movement yet today, guess it's time for a pop tart. See if that gets her rockin' (usually does)

My weekly u/s is this afternoon. Hope baby will let me see her face better this time, she kept burying it last week and the one lousy picture I got looked terrifying.

I wore jeans to work yesterday. My work pants are too long so whenever the ground is wet I wear my skinny jeans instead. I also dare someone to say something to me about it.

The funny part for me is that no adult will bother to say anything. 1 week before Christmas break, no one cares. It's my students who will probably comment on it lol.
Damn...I just made the mistake of reading a post about cravings and all the wonderful noms people are eating. I am now starving for everything I don't have in my house -_-
Hope your contractions stop @YaMrWhite I had a couple while laying in bed this morning before getting up. I took it as baby needed some coffee. lol.
I feel like these posters are baiting us.
Last one was the one I posted about. I think I'm good The ones laying in bed are always confusing because they say to relax when you have them....uhh....I am relaxed...I'M IN BED!

You're allowed to fight students in third tri.. just letting you know.
Sitting here watching my belly dance. Also, having a broken car as a SAHM is like being in prison. Hope it's fixable but DH has already suggested we start looking for another van. As much as I am ready for something to replace the rust bucket I hate spending money. Any 3 row seat vehicle suggestions? Baby makes 5 of us in January so we will need the space.
Good morning to all. Sorry for all the ladies who have colds, I think it should be a rule that you can't get sick while pregnant, it just seems cruel!!
I actually thought ahead last night and took out a freezer meal to defrost, so it will be pot roast for dinner! Now I just have to somehow get through my late work day without letting anyone see that my give-a-shit is broken!
Also since my EDD is at the end of the month it's freaking me out that some of you are early term already!! Shits getting real and I'm SO ready for January to be here so we can bring on all the babies!
More randoms - my coworker brought in donuts. Yay! I had a Boston creme, and it was so fresh and good.
I couldn't find my pantyhose this morning, and then I found them in my glove compartment and remembered that I had taken them off on the way home from work last time because they were so uncomfortable.
Re: Thursday Randoms!
Morning! How are things?
My 5.30am potty break means I can't get back to sleep. DH and dog are still asleep, so here I am in bed. Hungry, though. Might sneak and try to get poptarts.

Have a good day everyone

Thanks! It's not until this afternoon so I have to pretend to keep my mind on teaching all day until the last bell rings. That's the hard part!
