Monday Morning Accomplishments

Let's face it, we are either all overdue, or due within 2 or so weeks. Normal everyday tasks are becoming difficult.

Let's share the things we've accomplished this morning, and maybe even share a few laughs at how it's "sad" that it's considered an accomplishment.

Let's see, my husband got paid this AM so I paid the bills, created our budget, fed both my kids, got them dressed,got dressed myself & PUT ON A BRA, and made my coffee. Just now sitting down to enjoy it at 7:15am.

Eventually I'll have to put my shoes on to take my son to the bus stop. Oh how I wish I had slip ons. :-)

What have you ladies accomplished this morning? :-)

Re: Monday Morning Accomplishments

  • It's 530 and I got up to let myself and my dog pee. I accomplished getting back into bed with said dog until my OB appointment.

    I second needing slip on shoes but it's raining here and all I have are flip flops :(
  • Loading the player...
  • I showered and put on makeup and I'm about to go out and get a Christmas tree!
    Then probably return to the couch for Netflix and chocolate
  • I got up at 630 to help my mom get my daughter off to school, then started working (although I've been elected to "help" a colleague get their project out the door because I'm a fixer, but that's a discussion for Monday Bitchfest), had a couple of laughs with my mom about how we always end up taking care of helpless or lazy people, and ate three brownies for breakfast. 

    And if I get my project out on time today, expect a second post with a whole bunch of celebratory GIFs
  • @meansallison - all that fit me are sandals right now. It's rainy here today too. I'm wearing my flip flops anyway. I'm lucky I live in a place where it's still 80 degrees right now because I don't know what I would do about the shoe situation otherwise.

    I mean, this morning I got up and got DH's crap ready for work (breakfast, coffee). Usually I have to make him a lunch, but he's having a potluck so yesterday I made 35 mint chocolate chip cookies. That was an accomplishment because I had to clean the kitchen before I could even start baking - and then after baking I had to clean the kitchen again!

    I like distracting myself as I near my due date with crap to do - so today I have my OB appointment, then I have to mail packages to my nieces for Christmas, and then I have to go to the grocery store. Who knows, maybe all that walking will start labor. :)
  • I've been awake since 430a so just been laying in bed reading my book, listening to DH and the dogs snooze :) I feel pretty content so far this Monday!
  • I managed to check on my 2 yr old daughter at 6:00 in the morning and wake her up. Well, she was actually already awake. Now we are watching cartoons together when I should probably be sleeping because I have no energy to attempt to put her back to sleep for another hour or 2. Have my (38th week) appointment today and am nervous because I think we are attempting the membrane sweep. Which secretly I'm happy about eventhough nervous.
    I think every night now I wake up to pee 3 or 4 times, performing a log roll every time to get up out of bed. I also change positions from side to side every so often and it takes everything in me to do so. These feats make me proud, especially getting out of bed without cramping.
    I have one last christmas gift to buy and then finish wrapping. Hopefully today will be that day.
    Good thing is I live in California where flip flops/sandals are my everyday shoes pretty much, especially since anything else probably wouldn't fit i.e. my boots
  • I let the dog out to do her thing. That's about as much as I'll get accomplished today.
  • I got up with hubby and made coffee, and then I made a grocery list and menu for the week, and had a shower. Lied down for a moment to finish listening to a podcast and totally fell asleep! Putting doing the groceries off until after lunch as I'm starving and will come home with cookies and chocolate if I don't eat first!!
  • Last week of work this week until my leave starts! YAY!
    Got up at 6am and walked the dogs a mile, got ready for work and now i'm at work ready for the day. Hoping baby drops this week so something starts happening for me. 38w today! Whoot!
  • I gave birth last Saturday and I'm just glad I accomplished making it a week. Life has definitely changed tho. It's been a little gloomy the last couple of days in new jersey. I got up and thank god I made it through a painful delivery and no mastisitus after not pumping for 5 days! ENGORGED!!
  • Today is my due date! I accomplished getting to work on time this morning and knocking off about half of my last day of work checklist within the first 3 hours. I also accomplished eating an apple fritter and 6 donut holes on my way to work..followed by a jalapeno sausage and cheese kolache :) 
  • My husband took our daughter to music class early this AM so I could sleep in. Which is good considering I was wide awake between 3:30am and 4:45. Got up around 8:30 to feed and let the dogs out. Now chilling in bed playing candy crush until I have to leave for my dr appointment. No lofty goals at this point.
  • I just took my 24 hour urine test in to the lab, feeling accomplished that I actually did it, because the idea of it grossed me out so badly! Now finishing up Christmas cookies so that I can drop off for all my neighbors before this baby comes. I'd feel really accomplished if labor started today, but not getting my hopes up!
  • I got up, took care of my fur-babies, and went back to bed. Once I was up again, I made breakfast, sat on my ball and drank some raspberry leaf tea. Haha! I've showered, sat on the ball some more after lunch and now Netflix-ing until my doc appt at 2! I hope I'm dilated some more. Been super crampy all weekend.

    But yes...... Rolling over and getting out of bed....... So hard!!
  • I got up at 6:30 after only being able to sleep two hours last night.. packed lunch for DH, made us smoothies and sent him off to work. Then went back to bed and am just waking up lol!
  • I got up and took DH's eggs off the stove, took the dog out, and made myself breakfast. I showered and went with DH's grandmother to get a manicure. Now I'm in bed with the dog hoping baby decides to make an appearance soon. Due date tomorrow.
  • I didn't sleep much last night due to itchy skin/DH snoring, so after he left for work at 6:30am I managed to stay in bed sleeping til almost 9!! That's an accomplishment in itself.

    Then, I cleaned 2/3 bathrooms, have two sets of bedding in the wash, cleaned up our bedroom (which I had folded clothes everywhere,) unpacked a few more boxes from moving over a month ago, and now I'm thinking about eating something! Yay us!!
  • Managed to get up, get cleaned up and dressed, breastfeed LO, got to his first pediatric appointment on time, called to schedule my gallbladder surgery, ate some food and took a short nap. I have to say having DH home has been a huge help with all of this and I managed to let him get a 2 hour nap in before he has to go coach basketball tonight.

  • Physically, I've gotten a lot accomplished today.  Woke up at 5:00, walked the dog a mile and a half, did some yoga, took the bus into work, and climbed 25 flights of stairs on my lunch.  I'm 38 weeks, and doing everything I can to make sure this little lady shows up on her own.  I really don't want to be induced.  

    If only I was productive at work though.  It's so hard having any ambition when I know I'm so close to being done.  So many reasons to feel impatient at this point!

  • I got out of bed and ate, watched the affair, ate lunch early and laid back in bed.
  • I managed to shave my legs, its a 100% miracle for me.

    Has anyone mentioned that peeing in a cup at the doctor's office is an accomplishment!

    That's definitely an accomplishment!

  • I've made it through a 5 day turned into 2.5 week bathroom renovation without absolutely losing my shit (only mildly lost it a time or two...) or going into labour! From here until baby's arrival is a whole lot of relaxing and tv :)
  • I just cleaned my bedroom. OK, I didn't clean it the way I really need too, but I changed the sheets, started laundry, put away another 2 baskets of laundry an mostly pick up my floor. There's still more to do, but I really need hubbies help. Oh an I swept our master bath floor which was embarrassingly gross!!
  • Well today is Tuesday, and today I managed to get up and go to my midwife appointment, grab groceries at target, haul them all up our stairs and it them away. Changed our sheets(king size!!!) and had a cleaning service here to do a good clean before LO arrives. Now enjoying bouncing On my ball eating coconut ice cream and watching a Christmas movie.
  • Cleaned the house, washed a floor on all fours to try and help baby out of a posterior position, now going to a chiro to help with this also hopefully. Going for tea after, then making dinner. Much more accomplished today than yesterday lol
  • It seems pretty all or nothing now. (38+4). Some days I sleep till noon, watch Netflix and make supper.

    Other days I'm back and forth to the store 10x for our basement reno, carrying things up and down stairs and taking extra walks when I have the energy.

    This. I find the days I have stuff to do I wish I could just do nothing instead. Then the days I have nothing to do, I'm anxious that I'm not getting stuff done. I can't win!
