Got my breast pump today ( let's hope I can actually use it) and my tuna can car no long sounds like it's going to fall apart at any moment which means I can use the air conditioning again. Heat index of 100+ with no air sucks.
Hard to relax with my two shadows, but I'm feeling much better now than I was earlier. I have an appointment tomorrow so I'll definitely talk to them about how I felt today.
So the pic won't upload...I'll try in a second post.
Regarding holidays, Thanksgiving is reserved for my extended family since we're all over the northeast and that's the only time we have a shared holiday. Thankfully DH has just accepted this, since his family is all local. I'm hoping because we'll have a newborn they'll come here this year. Ever since my grandma passed we rotate. Last year it was in CT, but since DS1 had just gotten out of the hospital from his illness, travel just wasn't going to happen. For Christmas we host at our house so both families can come and we don't have to do multiple gatherings. It's worked well since DS1 was born and we plan to keep it up. It helps that everyone brings a lot of food, so we are only responsible for a couple dishes
@AlwaysAuntNeverMom I didn't post anything that revealed info. from last night's Bachelorette, but I can definitely put a Spoiler Alert before giving my opinions of the cast if you feel it might trigger giving anything away about the episode. I am SUPER sensitive to spoilers (I hate when my shows get ruined before I watch!) so that is why I said I didn't want to say anything more. But I get why you feared what we were saying was spoiling something. I just think JoJo is an idiot in general so that is why I posted that. I could go on and on with my list of her character flaws but I hope you get my intent now after clarifying.

@SarahDarah333 Welcome back! I was going to PM you last night to check in so I am happy to see your post! I am glad all is well with your little guy and I hope you get the Internet back soon!!!
My random today: My brother called to tell me he has shingles. And he was at my house all week. His doc said I shouldn't have anything to worry about but I shouldn't change the sheets (have H do it) and mention it to my doctor. I see the midwife next week so hopefully I am in the clear! That seems like it would be AWFUL when pregnant (not to mention scary).

@blondie080300 no need to edit! Thanks for being considerate and cool like that though I should have clarified my "request" to be for future posts. I started reading some posts before I realized what they were about so I kind of just scrolled down quickly.
@JennM205 I'm still on procardia twice a day, I'm 34w1d. I've had a few more contraction episodes but nothing major. However, my bloodpressure has been low (around 85/65) and causing my pulse to elevate to around 99bmp. This causes me to feel extremely winded and tired. I have an appointment on Thursday. Right now, we are just praying she stays until 35 weeks but who knows... She may surprise us and decide to stay put. Not sure when my dr will call it quits though. My body doesn't seem to be doing that great of a job at keeping it the safest place for baby. Thank you for checking on me. I'm hanging in there!
@Redmar I kept trying to upload from my phone and it kept saying failure to upload. Thankfully my pics automatically upload to Google so I was able to share from my computer that way
Just finished catching up on a few hundred posts Ditto about putting your foot down and doing the holidays how you would like! Also, with older kids I feel bad if they have to leave all their new toys to go house jumping all day. The last few years we have travelled to see everyone, but this year my mom told me they would of course come out to see us so we didn't have to make the hour drive. Score!
Sorry to jump way back, but hearing bout how much your LOs talk @AnnaS930 and @camichael84 has me slightly concerned for our 24 month checkup next week. DS is progressing but definitely not speaking close to as much as your kiddos that are younger than him. He is having to learn two languages though (English and Danish with English as his primary) so I'm hoping that might play a role? Also, following instructions? Ha! Only if we ask him to do something he wants (go get a cookie).
My random for today relates to @AnnaS930 - I dreamt last night that I was 34 weeks and delivered a baby boy! This LO is a girl, so we were very surprised in the dream. We had settled on Ryan for a name (no clue why, I may have watched the office too much) but then decided that his name was obviously Emmett. You are the only person I "know" with an Emmett, so you must have been the inspiration lol.
@marajay6 we received a white jade bracelet for the baby – a
Chinese cultural thing even though we’re not Chinese. It’s really beautiful,
and we’ll store it in the safe for LO…I wouldn’t have spent that kind of money
on baby jewelry though!
@megan324 the money spent on a storage unit could be better
spent on…baby clothes!!
@Ssoccerball our ten month puppy is way more protective of
me than my husband. Even if we are walking in a group, the second he hands the
leash to me, puppy is on alert and will bark at strangers. Strangers with dogs
however…BFFs!!
@AnnMc12 what the sh-t is that?? A bite?? Bring the pan!!
Yesterday I was craving a breakfast burrito on the way to work..so I called in my order. Arrived. Picked it up. Didn't understand why it cost me $2 more than the last time. Didn't understand why the lady wasn't as friendly. Didn't understand why I had to pack my own orange sauce. As I was eating it at work, didn't understand why it came with a lot of refried beans and cheese - thinking I had caught a different chef. Realized 30 minutes into eating it I went to a different Mexican restaurant. PREGGO BRAIN IS REAL!!!
Also, today I was going to swing by Target during my lunch break but decided to take a 15 minute nap in the lounge first. I ended up passing out for a full hour. Huzzah, third trimester.
@reesaXden I'm sorry you're still going through so much. I've been thinking of you, as I'm sure others are as well! Good that your contractions have ebbed - hopefully you and baby can hold on just a little bit longer!! Keep us posted after your appt Thur!
I got so much done today. My son slept in until 8, then I met up with my mom who he is staying with until tomorrow. Got Starbucks, went to the party store to get stuff for Dom's 2nd birthday, wrote out thank you cards from my shower, planned birthday party stuff, made two changing pad covers, did laundry, did dishes, sterilized bottles, watching 2 movies and a bunch of sex and the city episodes. Now I'm going to sleep for 72 hours.
I have been stressing out for a bit about how to break the news to my mom that we are choosing to not have anyone else in the room when it comes time to push. I was really dreading it because I know she's excited but I spoke to her today and she tried to guilt trip me a bit by saying she was sad because all her sisters got to witness their grandkids being born but she understood that it was our choice. Now I just have to break it to my sister who I had asked to help me by holding a leg. She may not be as gracious and understanding as my mom. Mind you, she's the one that sent me a message saying that it would be best for her if the baby came between sept 3-9 because she can take the time off at work to come down here...
I can relate to this. My mom was in the room for the entire labor and delivery with both of my kids and MIL was also in the room with my second baby. I just told my mom a few weeks ago that this time around I'm planning on it just being DH and I. She gave me a little bit of a guilt trip and was bummed, but I'm glad I'm sticking to my guns this time and I'm glad the talk is over with. I felt pressured last time to let my mom and MIL in the room and I'm really looking forward to it just being DH and I this time. If things get awkward with your sister and you don't want to have to be the one to kick her out when it comes time to push, the nurses usually have no problem being your advocate and asking people to leave. Maybe let your nurse know ahead of time that you'd like the room cleared out before its time to push.
It's 2:21 in the freaking morning. I awoke at 1:30 and willed myself to go back to sleep. I changed positions. I used less blankets. I used more blankets. I propped myself up with pillows. I lay staring into the darkness, pondering my insomnia. Blessedly, I fell back asleep. I then woke up 10 minutes later needing to pee.
Sleep became a distant memory after my excursion to the bathroom when my stomach began to growl angrily. Two pieces of peanut butter toast later, my hunger is assuaged yet I am still not tired enough to sleep.
As I log this, I can't help but recall a time when sleep came easy and was plentiful, yet I am willing to endure this hellishness for the new crew member we're set to welcome in September. Our contact with him has been little, but my first officer and I are confident he'll make a fine addition.
The time is now 2:35am and sleep is no closer. I suppose that this awake time may best be used in the pursuit of a new hobby, macramé or candle making perhaps. Though, I've also been toying with the idea of crying hysterically.
For now, I'll merely contemplate the stars and my raging heartburn and dream of the beautiful future when sleep will again consider me a friend.
@PoodleDoodleOoo Stay home. I feel the same as you! I do not want to be traveling to other people's homes on a day that is really about young children, especially in the morning. Let your new immediate family make its own path. This year will be an excellent time to be firm.
Our first Christmas with LO1 we hosted for this reason. We invited everyone from both sides of our family (my parents are not on speaking terms, so this also took the burden off of me to mediate.) But it turned out we didn't get to enjoy the holiday at all because NO ONE helped with either the baby or the food and my husband and I did not get to even sit down.
Take two, last year. "You are invited to our house for Christmas. We are eating Chinese takeout. Be there or don't." You know we had the same number of guests, spent the same amount of money and was much less stressed. New family tradition. Highly recommended.
@Bibliobebe pregnancy insomnia. I have it too. I think I stayed awake for an hour before I was like "eff it. I need a break from trying to sleep" and got my phone out.
I spend all day SO tired! And then suddenly my body decides at 2:30am that 3.5 hours should be good.
I wish my my husband would step up and get up with the toddler more often in the morning. (We take turns) but he doesn't have the empathy to realize on his own that I maybe could be more tired and need more sleep than him.
Just a quick check in from the campsite... we all survived the night. Actually I'm the only one awake though I hear E moving around in his packnplay. Keeping him semi contained to our site and entertained was a little tiring but we did it and he slept since 830pm without a peep! What a trooper!! I slept ok... popped a squat in the next site (empty) once to pee because I didn't want to walk to the bath house. Tent is already heating up again as it should be another 90 degree day!!
Wellllp, managed to fall back asleep somewhere around 3:30. Woke up at 5:30 and thought "ALMOST THERE!". The thought of the sun being up soon helped me relax back into sleep for another 40 minutes and now the day is dawning and I'm awake officially. *jig*
@KimmySchmidt I'm the same. I'm tired enough to want to take naps throughout the day, but I won't let myself out of fear it'll make sleeping at night worse. I'll be dragging rear by bedtime and think "I'm not going to wake up once" and, you're spot on, after about 3.5 hours my body's like "Nicely done. Time to wake up!"
@PoodleDoodleOoo Holidays are such a sensitive time for many people, but you have to do what's best for you and your new little family. I don't personally see how anyone could make a legitimate fuss over you staying home since you only live a 10 minute drive away from everyone else AND you're still planning on going to the big Christmas gathering in the afternoon. I would venture a guess that any upset that's made is going to be more about disliking change than actual hurt feelings. Everyone will get over it. Let Christmas morning belong to you, your DH and your LO.
Our kids will probably never spend an actual Christmas day at home, not unless we move closer to my family. DH's family lives 1,000 miles away and we do what many of you other gals do, we split the holidays. We spent Thanksgiving with one family and Christmas with the other then swap the next year. On the years we spend Christmas with DH's fam we'll definitely be far far far from home come Christmas day. The fun thing about that though is DH's fam lives near NY and having a few city-visiting traditions during Christmastime will be really neat.
My family lives about a 4 hour drive away. Driving in to see them Christmas day sounds like a nightmare so we'll probably go in the day before, meaning no Christmas morning at our house for LOs.
BUT we still want our own family traditions separate from everyone elses' so we're probably going to be celebrating Yule AND Christmas. Yule/Winter Solstice falls a few days before Christmas every year and will give us a chance to have that day when we enjoy our own special traditions with the kids.
Everyone's got their own way of making it work. Stick to what you feel is right for you guys and everyone else will adjust!

Landry turned 2 at the end of April and he isn't talking as much as their littles either. Doc asked how he felt about getting a little sister yesterday and I just laughed! If it doesn't have wheels he's not interested and that includes my belly. He has no clue we are having a baby even though I tell him all the time.
Gone for a couple days and so much to catch up on! @Bibliobebe I feel you on the insomnia. I wake up almost precisely 3.5 hrs after going to sleep and am awake for 2-3 hours. It goes like that for a few nights then I'll sleep really well for a few nights...back and forth.
@reesaXden I'm glad to hear your contractions have let up a bit. Please let us know how your appt goes on Thursday!
RE Holidays: we used to make it to everyone's house over thanksgiving and Christmas (both of our parents are divorced, so minimum of 4 get-togethers). Since having DD1, it's all about our little family. Christmas morning is just for us, though we sometimes will go somewhere else in the afternoon. Mostly it's done the week before or the week after. DH started making thanksgiving his holiday to take call at work, so that is pretty much "we're doing it here, come or don't" a la @KimmySchmidt
My randoms: I had a dream last night that DD2 came early. We weren't in a hospital at all but taking her around to places and different people were watching her. I kept wanting to nurse but every time I was going to someone had either just fed her (mostly ice cream and apple juice) or she was asleep. She was 3 days old and I hadn't nursed yet so I told everyone they weren't allowed to feed her anymore. Obviously this is a real fear of mine...
Also, I have 8 weeks to go and we finally started the nursery last night! I'm hopeful that I'll have a fully functional room in 2 weeks.
Team pregnancy insomnia is cruel. I'm also in the tired all day then can't fall asleep at night camp....seriously, what gives? Also for the first time this pregnancy I'm finding it hard to roll over. I don't remember that happening with my first, but it legit hurts or pulls some sort of muscle when I try and switch sides MOTN. We have a much nicer, cushier mattress now so I wonder if that makes it harder to move? 8 more weeks of that doesn't sound enjoyable though so hopefully it's short lived. (LOL at myself!)
@RedMar we had many talks about the care of the floor! Notice the awesome tablecloths and sheets duck taped together. Yeah, I'm resourceful (and not at all cheap/lazy).
Speaking of sleeping/dreams. I had a nightmare last night!
I was in a car accident and punctured a lung but no doctor at the hospital would get the baby out and give me surgery. They just said take Tylenol and go home and come back later. It was so weird the umbilical cord was coming out of my belly button and everything. There were other details too that are too sensitive to post but i woke up so scared something that happened! Didn't help that my whole body was sore from my fun filled day yesterday.
Currently drinking some hot tea and waiting for Ava to give me some kicks and jabs for reassurance.
Randoms for this morning....I forgot to hang my bra up last night after washing it, so the one I'm wearing is slightly damp. This probably wouldn't matter except at times it itches under the boob (so I itch it). I just went to the bathroom and noticed in the mirror I've apparently itched it more then I thought as I have a lovely shirt indent at that spot that I can't work out....it's directly in the middle and looks ever so awkward. (Sidenote - all other bras are in the wash too...this was least damp).
Second random... Conversation with DH upon waking up this morning: <Alarm goes off and first snooze hit of 10> DH: I am so pissed at you. Me: (groggy and confused) What? Why? DH: I had a horrible dream and am pissed from the dream still. Me: (Starting to laugh) Ok, what happened in the dream? DH: You went into labor, had the baby, recorded the baby's crying sound on your phone, and sent me a text with the sound snippet, telling me the baby arrived. THAT'S HOW YOU TOLD ME THE BABY WAS BORN!!!! You didn't tell me you were in labor or at the hospital or anything you sent me a sound bite. (And then in an incredulous voice) But you called your mom and told her on the phone, she got a call and I got a freaking text!
LOL, needless to say, he made me promise he was going to be in the delivery room and that our agreement that it was just the two of us was still in full motion.
If there is any correlation between fetal movement and the activity level of the newborn, then I don't think I will ever sleep again after this baby comes. The movement is nonstop at all hours of the day. And often very strong. With DS, there were definite periods of the day that he was resting and I felt very little movement. And he has been a great sleeper from the very beginning.
@marajay6 SAME. I was just telling my mom this yesterday. At birthing class I told her to feel my stomach for like 20 mins and he never stopped moving around and it was really hard kicks and my mom couldn't believe it. During the day his movements are lighter but constant so by night time I'm so sore but he just kicks it up a notch.
@marajay6 I often "joke" about how my daughter never stopped moving in the womb and she hasn't stopped since she was born. Girl is non-stop go-go-go, including at bedtime, all. the. time. I hope that's not the case for you.
@marajay6 ME TOO! This kid was NONSTOP all day yesterday, even when I woke up in the MOTN. I don't think he slept at all. It felt like an alien was going to burst out of my body. My first never moved this much. I'm going to talk to my doctor about it today because it's freaking me out! And considering my first had the cord around his neck and body when he was born, I'm worried how twisted up this one could get.
