Well, I just made (sober) happy hour plans with an old friend for Friday afternoon (I'll be 39 w). Really looking forward to it! Maybe this will jinx me into labor!
Sitting on the couch bumping while listening to DD&DHs giggles coming from upstairs. I'm so excited to add another little laugh to this world / to our family It seems so far away... but I know it HAS to happen soon there are only a handful of days left that she could come
@mcdonald-bailey 's post about issues with the photographer (I'm frustrated for you!!) made me realize that the hospital never took newborn photos of my twins... Everyone gets a free session at the hospital and they just didn't send one for my guys... Well dang.
@kjd291 I think you are in nesting denial. No judgment because I think I do the same thing lol. Everyone is like omg are you nesting when I clean around work or stuff. I'm like no, this crap just needs done and no one else does it but me so I better clean up before I leave for 3 months!
@direwolfmini we have a photographer booked to come to our house for newborn pics! The hospital has an in house photographer too and you can choose to purchase pictures but I thought it would be more relaxing and natural at home. That was my main motivation for getting the baby room done/decorated lol.

@direwolfmini We are having our wedding photographer come and do a newborn session. We got them done for DS and definitely Love them. Make sure you get all of the details if you do though.. like how many pictures they edit and what you get for your money.

I am sitting on the bathroom counter while DS takes bath, and I leaned against the mirror and let my feet dangle..MOST COMFORTABLE POSITION I have sat in, in days! Hahahahaha. I think it's the lack of pressure on my feet and crotch combined with the cold counter...funny how something so strange can make me so happy. Edit : legs have to be wide open to take pressure off pelvis. I'm sharing because I care ha!
I asked my OB about RRL tea and she actually said there is conflicting info about it and discouraged me...she said that since it acts as a diuretic that there is a chance it could bring on preterm labor in some people.
Just like any herbal tea or supplement it's not for everyone. My midwife told me people with a strong family history of breast cancer shouldn't drink it; I'm not sure why, but I imagine something in it looks similar to s hormone, which is what makes it effective in the first place, lol.

Oh wow, I didn't realize that, either! I do have a family history of breast cancer and I'm positive for the BRCA1 gene mutation. I bought some and was planning on starting drinking a couple cups of it this week since I'm so close, but maybe I shouldn't.

@longliveregina that is too funny. I haven't had too many cravings this pregnancy, but for some reason the little McDonald's cheeseburger has been the one thing that tastes amazing even when I'm feeling sick. I don't remember even liking them that much before!
Seriously never want to eat Chinese food again.. still have a stomach ache and all last night I was worried irritating my bowels was going to put me in labor lol.. lots of BH this morning which makes my upset stomach feel great.. is it nap time yet?
@sunshine507 can't stand cheese buuut Bacon makes everything better! I'll try them as an app with dinner tonight! Thanks for thr suggestion!
@cbeanz I totally support @Gators&BoSox suggestion HAHAHA!! I would loose mind if family was tracking me. Then again most of my family knows that.. ofc with the exception of the mil. But hey no need to get started down that rabbit hole right?!?
No need to get started on a tangent that would sound something like... my mil went around my back to DH after I told her we're all sick but we don't need help... grumble grumble..
@direwolfmini bummer you didn't get hospital photos!! :-( But yes we're doing newborn. Same woman that's doing our L&D photos.
@pandalily YES!! I can't pick up a broom with out being told I'm nesting?!?!?
I mean I *might* have ironed a bedskirt yesterday...
@Gators&BoSox sounds terrible! So sorry! Hope it passes and you feel better soonest!
Just sat down to have a snack of a few raspberries. Ate entire package. Not the small square type package. The big one. Not sure what my innards are gonna do with that one, but I'm sure it will be interesting. I specifically got a huge package because I have been waking up in the middle of the night feeling nauseous and CRAVING them hardcore. And, subsequently standing in front of the fridge at 2 am shoveling them in my mouth. It could be worse, it's berries.. but anyway....
Is anyone else incredibly freaking tired of people telling them "wow your pregnancy has just flown by"! I might strangle the next non-pregnant person that says that to me!!! I'm sure if you are not the pregnant one it may seem that way but it certainly has not "flown by" for me!
@SienaC Yeah... definitely annoying when you then think "But I still have 3 weeks 2 days left.. maybe 4 weeks.. maybe 4.5 weeks!"
I just had a major craving for french fries and a Wendy's chocolate frosty ... and got irrationally mad at my husband for taking too long to go get it while I sat on the couch and could have gone myself. I just can't move. Feeling like only people here will understand the struggle.
For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition that I made to him. 1 Samuel 1:27 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@SienaC I'm even more tired over the well meaning questions people ask since I feel like I'm asked the same set of questions a hundred times a day and just hope I can keep my hormones in check enough so I don't unintentionally flip out on someone.
@jenny0228 I did a similar thing with a bag of green grapes the other day...I was craving them and bought a bunch thinking I'd snack on a few while at work and bring the rest home...nope. Ate the whole thing over my lunch break.
Sitting at the MFM after an hour and a half long sonogram.....
Eta Also, my husband passes the Foreign Service Officers Test! It's only the first step in a long hiring process, but as it's supposedly one of the hardest tests a person can take I am so proud of him. And a little nervous that this time next year I could be married to a diplomat, lol.

That's so cool!!
And hope the sonogram results come back soon and look good. Did they say why it was so long?
@longliveregina Is your husband currently in training to be a Diplomatic Security Special Agent? Or still applying? Asking because one of my best friends is currently in the training program and they may know each other which would make this a truly small world
just found out DH will be gone for 2 weeks starting March 19 for his therapy thing. He will be close and we will be able to see him the second week i think so theres that at least. He asked me if I could be induced on the 3rd lol no babe... I'm already planning on getting a pedicure and drinking mexican hot chocolate on the 4th so hopefully the 5th shell be here anyways. i'm trying not to freak myself out with the idea of being home with a toddler and 3 week old by myself. might ask my mom to come for the weekend but also trying to remind myself that many women have babies while their husbands are deployed and such and that my situation could be much worse. just a lot to process.
Gators&BoSox sorry about the hubs travels. Mine will be traveling overseas the last week of March. I've been balancing (internally) nerves but also being supportive for him.

He wants to work as a diplomat for the state department working under an ambassador....more diplomacy, less security. I would go anywhere to support him, of course, but as a homebody it is more nervewrack8ng than exciting to think about living in another country!
@kjd291 It was just a very detailed one. Everything was good. Longest appt ever though! Bp was high at the beginning of the appt (like 130/99) but was 119 over 70 at the end so she isn't worried. We blamed traffic. I do have to do another 24 hr urine test as a precaution and make an appt again for two weeks from nowbut
@longliveregina good!! Was just worried about you since some of the last things you posted were about cramps and contractions! Glad all is good with babe and your BP came down at the end of the appt. good luck with your pee jugs
Well, I just made (sober) happy hour plans with an old friend for Friday afternoon (I'll be 39 w). Really looking forward to it! Maybe this will jinx me into labor!
It worked! Guys this is the secret we've all been looking for! Make plans with an old friend and you will go into labor!
Guys!!!! I need help!!! My DH's birthday is on Monday and I have no idea what to do for him! He has never liked any gift I have bought him so now I just get him a card and let him buy something for himself that he wants. He wants to have sex which is the worst possible thing ever for me right now but he apparently can't function without it so I have "uncomfortable pity sex" and "romantic card" and "special meal" on the list. Anything else you can suggest that makes your hubby feel really special on his birthday?
is there anything floating around on groupon that you guys could do? usually they have some interesting events or date nights on there for a reasonable price

I just meal planned for the weekend. Does that count?? :;)
Morning! I feel like I'm obliged to keep informing ya'll each morning : I'm still pregnant! 5days past due today! Whomp Whomp This little one really loves the idea of being a true March baby
Anyone else checking this all the time? https://spacefem.com/pregnant/due.php Part of me wants him to wait until the 2nd for my induction, and another part of me is hopeful every time I get a gas cramp that I am going into labour. Ughhh
@Gators&BoSox I have a very minimal hospital bag right now, and I'm 38 weeks today too! My game plan is to pretty much grab things when I start to have contractions, and then send DH home for anything I need after that.
Re: Randoms! 2/20
Is everyone else doing newborn photos?
