    Yay!!! August!! For mother's day my husband bought me a peridot stone necklace. I swear with all these false alarms last week, LO was just try to hold out so she could be born in August so that I could keep wearing her birth stone ;) c'mon Ella!
    Same!!!!!  I haven't been wearing mine yet, though, because I'm crazy and superstitious like that lol :)

    I've seen some really cute necklaces on Etsy with birthstones, but since she's due the 28th I didn't want to buy one yet. My birthday is in October so I'm going to make sure and drop some hints to DH.

    I am 38 weeks today... I woke up crying today that I had to go back to work because I'm still pregnant... ugh... oh and I woke up to stretch marks on my belly... I had no stretchmarks yesterday.... very disappointed... and hoping I can become more patient... oh and my feet are starting to swell... I had to sleep with compression socks on last night... the only shoes I dare wear are velcro... so I can adjust them throughout the day while I swell

    Anyone else already have the baby blues and baby isn't even here yet???   I swear I've NEVER cried when leaving or picking up DD from school, not even my first day back to work, but last week and today I'm a mess.  I think it's finally hitting me that she's getting big and won't be my only one anymore and even though she knows there's a baby she probably won't truly get it until he's here and God only knows how that's going to affect her.  I'm a mess.  And of course I feel bad leaving her even though I'm not working but I know they do so much more with her than I ever could, especially now, and it's best to keep her on a routine.  *sigh*

    Happy Birthday @ashleybaker712 & @kristynmac :)

    @Katm89 I'm currently 38w2d, just a couple days ago I was laying on the couch and DH looks at my stomach and goes "I think you got your first stretch mark" so I grabbed my phone to see it since its impossible to see the lower part of my stomach and sure enough it was one. I got up, went to the bathroom, and started balling my eyes out lol I thought being this far along I was in the clear but nope...now I could care less, it's just a stretch mark but I was so bummed.

    @SkiChic626 yes! We had a really hard weekend and i keep thinking about how hard this transition will be. Although I've thought a few times that maybe it won't be as hard as I think it will because she's still so young. Reading others stories on how their 4, 5 and 6 year olds are purposely showing out because of the new baby and I really don't think DD is at an age where she would do that. I feel bad because I'm rushing this baby out of the newborn stage and he's not even born yet. 

    It it also doesn't help when people make comments like "you're about to be a mother of 2, are you ready for that?". I haven't been too nervous about it but now that we are 9 days away I'm starting to panic a little bit.

    @KMeredith82 That's so nice that you have the option to work from home! At this point I would be fine if my water broke at work and gushed everywhere... I would scream with excited and yell "PEACE OUT BITCHES!!!!" atleast that's how my fantasy goes....
    We have the same fantasy.
    I have been dreaming about this as well!

    @katm89 @LWC112 @midwestbaby ha, I think I'd be completely cool with that if at work in my office (I keep telling them I'm out soon and no one seems to believe me!) just not at a client meeting - I'm an architect so I'm already in a male dominated field, I could only imagine how awkard that would be if it happen when I was sitting in a meeting with a dozen men...  

    I'm also not really sure that working from home is an option?  I just kinda said I was going to do it today, and hoped no one argued with me

    @KMeredith82 I work from home exclusively and it's getting more and more difficult to stay at my desk, especially because when I'm in sitting positions the baby hits these nerves which shoot pain down my right leg. ugh. If you have the option of working from home until labor it's certainly relaxing, but if i don't set daily goals for myself NOTHING gets done. 

    I think by the end of the week i'll be working from my laptop on my bed or couch.

    @BrunetteBabe722 Its totally under my belly so I can't see it... I asked DH a week ago if I had a stretch mark under there... but he thought it was my vein... it wasn't until this morning that I could be sure it was a stretch mark... I've done everything I can do to prevent them... Oh well.. I was so proud... but I guess its not a big deal... I just hope they fade eventually

    I have so much to get done and no energy or motivation to do any of it. Every night when I go to bed, I think tomorrow is the day I will get things done. And every morning, I wake up feeling more and more tired. Ugh! I need the nesting bug to kick in again!

    I had a dream I lost my mucous plug last night. I woke up this morning and realized it was a dream and now I'm pretty disappointed. Even though I'm rcs I wouldn't mind going into labor before hand. We are completely ready, there's literally nothing left to do and I'm bored. 
    Lost my mucus plug last week, got all excited, baby is still not here. You can go into labor before you lose it and losing it doesn't mean labor is imminent.

    It's just about 10:30. I get to work around 8:30. I have already had to pee three times. This baby must be doing some stretching today because he's simultaneously crushing my bladder and pushing on my ribs. It's gonna be a long day.

    @katm89 the same exact thing happened to me with DD.  I had nada and one morning around 33/34 weeks I woke up and my entire stomach was cover across the middle.  They really do fade and you can't really see them anymore....you can now cuz they're stretched out again, but they're flesh colored.  You earned those stripes mama!

     I'm 38 weeks tomorrow.Dd2 came a week early and I keep catching myself mentally subtracting a week from my due date. Bad Courtney bad bad Courtney!

    Also I'm slightly less excited for bachelorette finale because jojo sent luke and chase home.

    That kind of thinking is dangerous for me! DD came at 35w and now I'm 37! Ugh, most pregnant I've ever been.

    @kwilliams3402 my dog does the same thing all day long. I have to laugh though because he's about to get a dose of reality when this baby starts crying in the middle of the night!!
