@reesaXden It sounds like you've had your hands full for the past couple of days... Sending lots of positive and happy/healthy baby thoughts! I'm sure everything will be wonderful and I can't wait to see pictures of your beautiful little girl. Good luck and we'll be thinking of you!!
UO (it seems) Monday - I really don't care for the Cat and Jack toddler boy line at Target. Not sure if it's not as good as the other lines or if it's just not my taste.. but the clothes is pretty in line with other graphic tees I see everywhere... and other items (pants) are maybe a little too hipster for my style.
@reesaXden good luck Mama! So exciting!!! You're certainly in my thoughts today!
@fireflygirl12 Diflucan is the bomb.com. When not pregnant, it's totally my go-to. Clears stuff up in 24 hours. Seriously amazing and SO much nicer than the creams. I've taken it once while pregnant at my doc's advice. It made me a bit nervous too, but no one deserves the ongoing torture of a yeast infection that won't go away.
@pilotswifey, yeah my OB recommended I take it a few times ago, but I decided my symptoms are only mildly annoying if the cream doesn't clear it completely. But now with only 24 days (or less) left before delivery, I can't imagine much worse than having to push a baby out right now. And everything bad I've read mentions high dosage for most/all of first tri.
@reesaXden Congrats on working your hardest and hitting the 36 week milestone! That's amazing! Will be thinking of you and look forward to seeing an update with pictures of your little girl!

Haven't looked at the boy clothes but I'm in love with the girl clothes. The graphic tees have such positive messages. Reese is wearing on today that says "Never underestimate the power of a girl." Damn straight with my girl.
@reesaXden omg! thinking of you and a safe and speedy delivery for your little girl! So excited for you to get to meet your little one and hopefully start to recover from this difficult pregnancy.
You all have me so emotional about fall. I actually agree with @seitzy3 , I do not care much for football, but I am so stoked to have fall off with a baby that we might sit on the couch and watch some anyway. I have been talking about how much I am looking forward to fall maternity leave for months (which is also a reflection of how engaged I am with work, obviously). Pumpkin apple everything, comfort food, leaves changing colors, and baby snuggles. I'm tearing up. Ridiculous.
@AnnaS930 It's funny you mention the Cat and Jack clothing line. I'd seen it at my Target, but not really looked at it (though I did get McKenna a cute pair of Cat and Jack red clogs). Yesterday, I checked it out online, and I LOVE the girls line. Yeah, it's just graphic tees, but my Target's girls line of graphic tees are not nearly as awesome as the boy's line. We actually buy McKenna things from the boys dept often because of that. The Cat and Jack line has much more variety than the Cherokee or Circo. We can get her shirts with animals or planets instead of ones with flowers that say how sweet and cute she is. Not that I mind the latter type of shirts, but I like a mix of girly and not-so girly.
@fireflygirl12 I have not taken it when pregnant, but it's amazing. One dose and in 24 hrs you are feeling better. No nasty cream. It really knocks it out quickly. I have had multiple yeast infections this pregnancy and wish that my OB offered it to me.
@AnnaS930 I haven't looked at the boys side, but the girls stuff is awesome!!! I second the other opinions, they actually had good messages for girls, like "future president" instead of "beauty queen". And they do have clothes beyond graphic tees in girls, and that stuff is freaking cute. I want to wear it!
Sorry to post 3 times in a row...kind of, not really, but best of luck to you, @reesaXden!!! We are all pulling for you! And 36 weeks is awesome, especially after all you've been through!
Well, I think my UO about Cat and Jack was one of my first that actually seems unpopular. I'll have to take a second look.. but from Carters we have so many graphic tees that had just animals or space ships, etc on them already. Maybe the girls line is revolutionary with positive messages, that's cool! Boys seems been there done that to me.
@AnnaS930 well everyone that has replied has girls, so that's a completely different line than the boys! I love the girls line, it sucks that the boys isn't as good.
Jumping into this thread after catching up on the last few pages.
@mom2adoodle Fin is so precious! I'm in love with his hair!
@reesaXden good luck and I'll be praying for a smooth delivery for you!
I'm realizing that it was incredibly poor planning (not that it was planned out at all lol) to have your first baby start Kindergarten and your second baby start 5-day preschool when you are 36/37 weeks pregnant. I'm an emotional hot mess and the first day of school next Monday is going to be a rough one for me! I'm glad the kids are so excited though.

@mom2adoodle - First, that's a great sign that Fin is strong/big enough for the snip! My experience is only my own, but E was a bit fussy for a short time after the procedure (no way to know if it was from that or just 2 day old fussy), and it hasn't bothered him ever since! You'll all do great.
You got this @reesaXden can't wait to see pictures
I've had the craziest morning. H decided to tell me yesterday morning he was leaving for LA this morning until Thursday (don't even get me started on that shit) So I had to find a last minute sitter for Cam since my appointment takes about 1.5-2 hours every time I'm there for an NST/BPP/check up. Luckily, one of H's teammates girlfriend is in town and offered to watch her. She even cleaned my house and had Cam down for a nap by the time I got back! Can I ask her to move in for the next three days???
Ultrasound looked good. But Ava kept failing the NST because she wasn't moving enough or getting her HR up. So I was on the monitor for about an hour. They got two spikes and said she is fine despite my concern about her decreased movement. I had SO many concerns for my midwife. Extremely painful BH, cramps that keep me off my feet, hiccups lasting for 30 minutes, pubic bone popping, and swelling down under etc. With my other two pregnancies, I never felt this amount of discomfort but apparently this is all normal and I am just a big baby. My body is playing the biggest trick on me!
I wasn't prepared to be alone with the girls again for a few days, especially now but I just gotta suck it up!
Thank you! I'm here bare chested anxiously waiting to skin to skin the kid when he gets back. I'm nervous about the after care! I guess a perk of being in the NICU is that they'll help us out as much as we need with diaper change nervousness. @AnnaS930
