I am scheduling an appointment during an ILs family members baby shower so I don't have to go. I don't understand the point of having a baby shower for each child. I went to her second baby shower because it was her first with a new man. Now she is having one for this one, 2 years later. Oh and this is not something ILs family does. My MIL was texting me about it all day.
I can't wait for this baby to make her appearance. I'm miserable but that's not why I want her here. Honestly, I hate surprises and I can't stand not knowing when she's coming or what she looks like. I'm ok if she decides to come a bit early.
Breakfast today was a handful of chocolates and a fresh baked homemade mince pie. Lunch will quite possibly be the Nutella brownies I'm baking next. Maybe I should eat some fruit to balance it out. It's my Birthday, the holiday season and I'm 8 months pregnant, if I can't eat junk today, when can I? (Sorry baby, I'll feed you better tomorrow!)
Im working up until I go into labour so I dont have to use up any mat leave time before. But with a month to go I have less and less desire to work. Its not that I dont even the energy, I do, I only sit at a desk and do paperwork. But the girls I work with have been trained to do my job while Im away and I feel bitter having to do it even though Im still working.. They need to get used to me not being there. Cant I just get paid to sit at home and watch Christmas movies? Too much to ask? In always by myself friday afternoons so maybe Ill online shop..
I'm being induced on Saturday and we're very excited but I'm dreading seeing/dealing with our parents after the girls are born. We told them we'd like at least an hour alone time after the birth but I don't think I'll ever be ready to deal with my mom and MIL freaking the f*ck out with excitement.
I'm only 32 weeks, but I am so over pregnancy. I am miserable, I can't work full shifts, and I am sick of feeling sick. I need to go eat something, but I really don't even feel like going to do that. Blah
The cat peed in the living room and i am not certain where. Treated where he has done it but it wont get rid of smell till it dries. The reason? DH didnt clean the litter box for a week! Yuck. Moron ILs want to go to some festival of lights on satursday with DS but wont take him by themselves. So they are begging us to go with them. Yeah I can see that tgey are going to be so helpful. Theyre supposed to watch DS when when baby comes and the comments about how much of a handful ds is are being made. As well as wanting to know my moms availability. Argh..
I am hoping (mostly in vain, I'm sure) that I go into labor before my RCS date. The hospital is far enough away (2ish hours) that by the time I realize it's time to go and we make the drive, I could be at 7-8cm, in which case they'd most likely let me labor and deliver (that's what my OB said.) A girl can dream.
**I wanted a VBAC last time, but the little spawn turned breech AT my 40wk appt while the doctor used the Doppler. It was weird, painful, and the doctor and I were both like "WTF just happened?" So, C-section the next day, b/c there really wasn't time to wait for turning. Neither of my CSs were due to my body's ability to labor, and I've had 2 successful vaginal deliveries before.
Im with ya, I just threw away my soup and ate a chocolate pudding and a cow tail instead... maybe ill have a clementine to balance it out? pregnancy logic....

Also I don't understand when people make a facebook account for their baby/childs. I know a few people who do this and I don't understand why. They still post pictures of the child on their, the parents, account so it's not like its a privacy thing.

My Mum has 3 accounts for her Guinea pigs. She just does it for all the FB games she plays, but it drives me nuts! She'll account hop and message me or post on my wall randomly from the pigs, and it makes it harder to chat with her (we live in different countries so we chat a lot through internet).
I don't want my baby to come early in December for obvious health reasons, but also because of the book The Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell.
Yep. My due date is December 31st and I knew that would be my due date when I was trying to get pregnant if it worked, but figured it wouldn't catch the first time. Lo and behold! So now I've always been hoping I'll be overdue (like all the other women in my family, so good chance) and have the January baby I was hoping for. I feel guilty all the time and I know it'll be totally fine if he comes 'early', but still! I'm not feeling super "done with being pregnant" 24/7 but I certainly have my moments and I'd reeeeally like to meet this little guy so part of me is just as ok with him coming now. So for now my plan remains that as soon as my due date arrives I'm doing all the things to get things going but until then I'm trying to keep labour away.

Same here. I sorta feel bad because I'm not quite 37 weeks so she needs more time, but I wanna see her so badly!

I don't know why this made me laugh SO hard but it did.
I cried today b/c we did not get finished with this Christmas project while the toddler napped. Plus, it looks like a 3rd grader did it. We don't have a fireplace, so I wanted to make one for Santa. I am so sad.
The confession part is that I didn't just cry, I cried great, heaving, snotty sobs over it.

I think that's SUPER CUTE. Definitely a great idea
@maureenmce It's worse because two have since died so it's like being haunted by the ghosts of dead guinea pigs. Glad it made you laugh though ;-)
@GAgirlinSDakota I love it! I wanted to do one for our place but it's never happened. What materials did you use?
I used 2 large boxes (from online Christmas shopping lol) for the vertical sides, 3 diaper boxes taped together for the mantel, white butcher paper (had on hand b/c we raise our own beef), mixed red/brown paint and sponges for bricks, and leftover garland to dress it up.
I still have to make the "fire" but I can't until the toddler is in bed.
I ate a gingerbread cookie, a macaroon, and a buckeye today all within about 5 minutes of each other. Normally I wouldn't say that's too bad but now that I've seen how much confectioner's sugar goes into buckeyes, I'm fairly certain that if I didn't have GD before I do now.

It's my Birthday, the holiday season and I'm 8 months pregnant, if I can't eat junk today, when can I? (Sorry baby, I'll feed you better tomorrow!)
Haha I just don't want to share.
My front door isn't closing all the way.
My FFFC is - I'm half tempted to leave and get chick fil a and just leave my front door open .....
