Christmas Eve Spam

...or just happy hump day! Throw it down, ladies!

yesiknowwhatcausesthat · December 2014

It is 7:24 and NO ONE in my house is up yet. This is a miracle.

We don't have our tree up yet. This must happen today. It is non-negotiable.

Somebody better clean up all the toys off my floor today because I can't. My butt is sore from doing squats instead of bending.

I woke up mad at my baby because she crawled up under my ribs all.night.long and caused weird dreams. Like the one where I took her out of my belly and handed her off to DH to hold for a while. Maybe I can do some walking today to get her settled back out of my ribs!

Merry Christmas Eve!

@yesiknowwhatcausesthat‌ Ugh, I'm sorry. I have had that going on for awhile now and it is not fun. I can't catch my breath and sound like an out of shape smoker from just walking up the stairs.

My spam for today is a little weird. I've been having repeated nightmares about getting into a car accident that sends me into labor and it is starting to freak me out. Now when I'm driving I'm extra nervous because of the dreams and all the crazy holiday drivers who are driving like morons right now. It doesn't help that I've had some close calls with some of these morons. I hope the dreams go away once Christmas is over and people regain some of their sense.

Now I have to get my arse up and start some of my baking! Have a great day, everybody!

flyster · December 2014

I had rough sleeping last night. Short day today though. I'm at my 34 week appt and just dunked my thump in my urine sample cause I bumped the cup on my bump. Wahhhh.

Merry christmas eve!

I didnt want to make a new thread so heres my dilemma:

Went to my 34 wk appt yesterday and when the dr found out we were traveling 3 hours away tomorrow for christmas she insisted on checking me. Not dialated but partially effaced (didnt give a %). She then told me its ultimately up to me but she doesnt think I should be gone as long as we are planning (8 days) and to only go for 3-4 days then come back.

WWYD?? I know you can be dialated and effaced forever without going into labor. Is she being way too cautious? Im a FTM so no experience here. We are leaning towards not coming back early because its the last time Ill be traveling to see my family for awhile and was planning on doing NYE and everything with them. She also put me on pelvic rest.

I am finally done Christmas shopping. I need to wrap DS's gift before he wakes up. I also need to figure out how to wrap DH's gift. I got him an "old fashion" bow. He already has a fancy one with the scope and contraptions. I think he will love it.

My lower back finally adjusted yesterday. I feel like a new woman. My chiropractor and I were happy. Third visit is the charm, I guess.

I read this as you were wrapping up your husband with an old fashion looking bow. Lol.... I need coffee

Haha it does say that! Oops. Fixed it.

Also, is it me or did we get new people in F15. I don't even recognize some SN in the threads, especially the birth announcement one. Maybe I've been under a rock.

misshart00 · December 2014

H had me unwrap one of my presents last night. It's one of those back massager things. I think he's tired of rubbing my sore back.

I'm definitely not a reg but I am here daily reading and posting most days, and I haven't recognized the last couple. So no, you are not alone with that observation.

This seems odd (to me) at 34 weeks. Have you had other issues or concerns? If there has been some issues or concerns then maybe consider shortening. No issues them go kick up your heels but don't over do it.

mirigirl · December 2014

Merry Christmas eve!!

Well today is my last day of work!! So blessed to be able to quit to stay at home with little bug when he is born. Plus this tailbone pain has been making it impossible to sit for 9 hours. So it comes at a good time.

I am reallllllyyyy hoping someone starts a HDBD because I really want to AW our maternity pics!

Hope everyone has a safe and fun Christmas!

babycfeb2015 · December 2014

@mishka29‌ nope no other issues or concerns have had a total normal pregnancy thus far. I thought it seemed strange too but everyone says listen to your dr so its hard to know what is the right call.

Well maybe stay for the 4 days, then see how you're feeling. I'm With a midwife practice that doesn't do checks at all so I wouldn't know the difference or what was going on.

CdnFarmGirl08 · December 2014

I realized I only bought DH 2 small gifts- only clothes for Christmas.

Debating if I should run out again quickly.

I would go, personally. I would just do a little research and locate local hospitals in case something happened. 3 hrs really dodoesn't seem all that far to me.

For me it would depend on if there were good hospitals and how my insurence is...personally I'm not leaving my insurence radius here in out cause then I start having big deductables.

mom2xover2002 · December 2014

We've had a Christmas miracle in this house!! Seriously! Our 11 DD (she will be 12 in 6 days) has had a hard time adjusting to becoming a middle child, getting a sister, sharing a room, & moving this entire pregnancy. Sharing a room has been a huge struggle. Especially when it came to sharing furniture. Last night she stayed up and put all the baby clothes in the dresser by months, hung up clothes, and organized their closest. She was so excited to show me. Yay! One less battle to fight!!

dreemkin84 · December 2014

Merry Christmas Eve! Going to go start making the shrimp salad.

thejollyrancher · December 2014

Hi everyone! Merry Christmas Eve!!

I just wanted to intro myself again as I'm a sporadic poster but truly devoted lurker and fan of feb15! (I don't like to post and run, and can usually only get on once a day, and I'm only mobile) Now that work is winding down and real life is slowing down a tich, you might be seeing a little more of me:)

I am a STM on the west coast of Canada. I'm due late feb with my second boy. My first is rapidly approaching 7 yrs old (due date is 1 week before his bday!). My amazing husband and I have been raising my son together since he was 1, but this will be my husband's first biological child.

I look forward to being a more active member of this community of awesome women!

I agree. My husband and I are traveling 8 hours and I am 34 w with a short cervix ("effaced") as well. We just made sure our destination has a hospital w a level 3 nicu close by that takes our insurance, which it does.

mels823 · December 2014

Got the best early Christmas present ever from my manager who last minute was able to give me today off! I took full advantage and slept until 9:45 and it was glorious!!!

I've been SO hot this entire pregnancy. Usually it would be in the 20's outside right now but it's almost 50! I live in MA. This stinks! I was hoping for cold weather to help me out. I wanted a white Christmas but it looks like we are getting 3 inches of rain and 59 degree temps tomorrow

What a bummer!

And that brings me to... I am SO glad my husband decided to spend a few thousand dollars on a brand friggin new snow blower (without discussing it with me) to help clear up the driveway from all of this snow we have not gotten!!

magsame · December 2014

Just woke up after much needed sleep. LO decided it wanted to be a night owl last night and spent most of it kicking me ALL night. I almost started crying because I was so tired and he kicking so hard it shook me and made me feel sick.

Want to do some baking, but that means having to go to the store and I just don't feel like it!

MapleMomma · December 2014

Good morning ladies! I'm just sitting here getting ready for the whole family to show up for our Christmas celebration. DH and I host the whole extended family every Christmas Eve and do a sleigh ride. We live on the original family farm, so its quite nostalgic!

OH and DH has said for months he wasn't getting me a Christmas gift (I wanted a cannon rebel with the extra telephoto lense), well guess what showed up under the tree this morning. Now I look like a boitch for whining. Luckily I got him a really good gift any how!

@mishka29‌ I agree with others. Research the hospitals nearby and go. 3 hours is in my scale of 'close by.' My folks live 3 hours away and I often go there just for the day. However, their hospital doesn't take my insurance, so I wouldn't plan a long stay there.

babycfeb2015 · December 2014

@mishka29 @crazycornball @flyster @jensoprano82 @MapleMomma thanks for the responses ladies. We are still going to go and will just evaluate once we are there if we should come back early. Going to call my insurance right now just to double check hospitals in the area. I know they have a great NICU in the ones where my parents live so hopefully all will be fine!

krysmill · December 2014

I'm still laying in bed! I know that's so bad! For the first time the baby kicked or rolled all night long. I'm so tired. I feel for you woman who went through the same thing last night. I really need to get up and start my day so that we won't be last to my mom's. Hope everyone has a great day!

JessicaH1020 · December 2014

@srcr2011, I know for me personally, I would get on here and lurk from time to time during my first and second trimester, but never post or respond, mostly because I was busy with work and I'm not a huge internet user on the weekends. Then when I hit my third trimester, I kind of reached a "f**k it, I'm done with it" stage at work and now spend most of my day goofing off on the internet and as a result, lurking on here even more and even commenting from time to time. I imagine some of the other newer people have similar reasoning for suddenly jumping on the F15 bandwagon.

But once my replacement arrives January 5th and I have to actually do something with my day and train this guy how to do my job, I probably won't comment or lurk anymore ):

Speaking of not working, I'm the only person at my office today (I'm trying to save time for maternity leave) and I'm watching Love Actually on my computer while I play on the internet (:

cloe111479 · December 2014

Been up since 7:30. Have accomplished so far:

Cornbread dressing
Green bean casserole
First set of brownies

Next up
Second set of brownies.
Broccoli and cheese

DH has to prep his two turkeys.

We are trying to do mass at 4 but I don't know if he will be finished work in time. Then his sisters at 5:30. We get his whole family done tonight.

wirtlehm · December 2014

GAH! We had to come in and work until 1 today... of course I have 0 emails and 0 accounts to work on so I'm just sitting here bumping today... I guess I should be grateful they aren't making me stay until 5... Small miracles I guess...

My last appointment my doctor told me at 34 weeks he doesn't want me to travel any farther than 45-60 minutes away. So she may not be the only conservative one

racheltherose · December 2014

Good morning ladies!

Stressing a little today. My mom announced to me she's flying across the country less than 2 weeks before my due date, and my plan has always been to have her with me during delivery. She used to be a labor and delivery nurse, so I am counting on her. Really really hoping little man stays in until his due date and everything goes according to plan.

jennjilljo · December 2014

I still love you guys but I've been focusing on giving DS a great Christmas. He got to open 2 presents early. One from his aunt which is a tent and one from us which is underwear. Currently there are 2 mickey mouse's standing guard at the door of his tent to protect his super hero underwear stash and he's changed his underwear 3 times. I love this age. Hopefully, I'll be more active again after the holidays.

Maple403 · December 2014

@srcr2011 - Yes, there are some pretty-much-total strangers posting in our birth announcements thread. I'm actually kind of annoyed about it. I mean, if you don't actually post or comment, it's hard for us to get to know you. If we don't get to know you, it's hard to be excited about your baby's birth. And then there are the totally random people who have never even lurked and yet come in and post their birth announcement. It's even HARDER to get excited for those ladies.

I might just be super clannish but honestly I don't get that fired up if I don't recognize the name of the poster in the birth announcements.

wirtlehm · December 2014

@srcr2011, @maple403, yea, I always update DH on the new birth announcements... he'll ask, "oh who's that?" "I have no idea, but she's an F15 I guess?"

digwriter · December 2014

I feel like being pregnant had taken a bit if the busy fun out of Christmas this year and it makes me sad. Also DD and i are both sick. Feeling more like scrooge this year

cups4 · December 2014

@wirtlehm‌ @srcr2011‌ @Maple403‌ samsies. I think that about those posting in the baby shower or nursery thread. I know it says AW, but really?

I have run errands, cleaned the house, and rearranged the nursery already today. It is just hard for me to relax these days. I hope everyone is doing well!

Maple403 · December 2014

I decided to be a nice supervisor and got my supervisee a holiday gift. Just something small- an electric tea kettle, mug, and tea assortment for her office. She has been saying that she wanted one for a while, so it was an easy gift. I really like her and I think (hope) she will be OK while I am gone for maternity leave. Sometimes I consider working just a few hours each week to check in with her once the baby is born, but it's such a slippery slope. If I start checking in with her, other people will find out about it and everyone will think I'm working again.

90 minutes left in the work day! Then 4 days off!

mels823 · December 2014

@seamonster really?? I loved it! I hadn't read the books though, so I had no set expectations. I thought it was awesome!

krispy83 · December 2014

I just HAD to go and say something about my back and hip pain getting a little better over the weekend. Evidently I jinxed myself - it has been back with a vengeance the last two days. The good news is I got a pregnancy massage GC from a friend for a Christmas present, so I'm going on Saturday.

DS boycotted his nap yesterday and then woke up coughing a bunch last night so neither he nor I slept well (on top of my already crappy sleep from aforementioned back and hip pain). He's been in a miserable mood this morning. I'm REALLY hoping he takes a good nap or our family Christmas Eve dinner tonight is going to be no fun at all.

@digwriter, I am feeling the same way. Usually I love shopping, wrapping, baking, etc. but a lot of it has felt like more of a chore and less fun this year, which makes me really sad because I love the holidays!

pitdigger · December 2014

We just got internet back about an hour ago, but my computer is being dumb. Making empanadas and watching the Too Cute marathon.

MrsTucker2011 · December 2014

I've been so busy, I haven't been posting. Sorry ladies, naps take priority now.

DH agreed with me that it's too much to do both families for Christmas Eve, and day. 1 family per day this year, and I couldn't be more excited about that! In-laws tonight, and then my family tomorrow. I guess I'm mostly just excited I don't have to dress up on Christmas day, and can leave DS1 in his PJs since my family is low key.

I'm so not motivated to accomplish anything today. I still haven't wrapped a thing. :-S
Also, my house chores have been falling behind because it's getting a lot harder to do things by myself.

Crossing our fingers DH gets off work early. They won't let him know until later in the day depending on how busy it is.

Murrry Christmas ya filthy animals!
