Randoms and Questions 2.27 - 3.3

We're officially entering March this week! Can you believe some of us are going to be only 2 months away from our EDDs.
Fx we continue to not have any early births with the exception of mdlorenz.

Re: Randoms and Questions 2.27 - 3.3
Random complaint. I can't believe how much more sore I get while pregnant from doing simple things. My body is killing me from the projects I did around the house this weekend. A big part of that was probably sitting/kneeling on the hard floor a lot, which I didn't even think about at the time. But yeesh, last night and this morning, I've been moving like I'm 70. My hips and back are stiff and sore, and my knees keep cracking. Pregnancy is no joke.
I am so bummed! Our shower is this week and I have family and friends coming to town and I have to take the 3hr test on Wednesday before they all get here. This is how I woke up this morning after a terrible night of sleep it's put me in a bad Monday blues. All I want to do is crawl back into bed and cry a lot.

Also if I can have a mini Monday bitchfest, sinus infections while pregnant suck. I can't take motrin for the sinus swelling so my face feels like it's going to explode. And the colors coming out of me are no joke. Plus the raging cough (bronchitis?) and I'm so done. Some real cough medicine would be great but I guess that is a no-no too. I'm hoping this thing is going out with a bang and tomorrow will be better. I am usually not such a baby about colds but this one is taking the longest time to go away.

We have also started our countdown with 9 weeks to go. That is all of 63 days--seems like it is coming entirely too fast but I'm also starting to get uncomfortable so I'm sure I will be more than ready physically by the time it's go-time. DS is usually in preschool 3 days a week and I really use those days to get stuff done and clean but the last two weeks I have been able to work hard for 2 days and by the third day I crash and get pretty much nothing done. I hope it doesn't get much worse because I am in intense nesting mode and I think I will probably stay there until baby gets here. f

I hurt so bad I could have cried. My feet, hips, and ankles were screaming all night. I'm also carrying really low which makes bending over to get things horrible already.

@vrj0522 Thanks for the support.
@jayandaplus I'm sorry you failed! I take mine tomorrow.
Two things:
-Should we discuss March siggy
-Any interest in a mental health check in? It was discussed briefly in my ticker change.
I'm not happy to be in the office this morning. Almost no one is here because it's Mardi Gras. At least we're closed tomorrow for actual Mardi Gras day.
I can so relate to the shortness of breath and soreness. What I don't understand is I did a 2 hour aerobics event last Thursday (granted I modified a lot) and I was fine. But, I try to walk around the block or pick up the kids toys and I am out of breath.
@NotAPlaya-JustCrushALot I love that photo. It is so beautiful!
@jayandplus Sorry you failed the test, I hope the 3 hour gives you better results.
Time really seems to be flying by super fast. I set a goal of having my hospital bag packed by 32 weeks. So far I have the hygiene stuff I need and baby's coming home clothes, but no actual bag. I have huge fundraiser I organize every year for March of Dimes this Saturday. I keep telling myself that once that is over, I will jump on the nesting wagon and actually do some baby prep things that need to be done.

@NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot That is such a beautiful picture! I can relate as we had a mmc before this and only told a few people so it must be nerve wrecking to post something that personal. I love the sentiment of the picture, and how awesome for you to know other moms who have been through it and we're up for that.
@nda_roxybabe Stairs - no kidding! Our house isn't very wide, but it's tall. I was doing a lot of work on the 3rd floor, which meant going up and down from 1st to 3rd more times than I could count, plus a few trips into the basement. Oye. I love that your H offered to run the stair trips for you!
@NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot LOVE that picture!
@NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot gorgeous picture!!

@Yiggle09 i was watching! I thought it was a prank at first and that the La La Land crew were in on it! It was so weird! Lol
@WombThereItIs hope you feel better soon!
We've had a ton of snow here this morning. WTF weather, it's nearly March! Lol

@NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot - that is an absolutely beautiful photo. I love that idea!
I can't believe we're getting so close. I started a final "to do" list last night, and it petrified me how much is left. It's not necessarily anything big, but it's just things I'd already taken care of by this point when I was pregnant with DS. Also, I kind of just need a nap thinking about finishing it.

@WombThereItIs I have been battling bronchitis/sinus cold for 7 WEEKS! I was just about over the coughing and last week DD came down with Influenza A and all the sudden I got even sicker and the cough that was almost gone came back with a vengeance! Just an FYI my Dr okayed Tylenol sinus, sudafed, and Robitussin. He also prescribed me Promethazine (codeine) cough medicine for night time so I can sleep. So there is some "good stuff" that they can prescribe if you get too bad! I had to be very vocal with them, because they do try to brush it off at first. I haven't had to take it the entire 7 weeks only about 5 days the first week and then I've been taking it again since Friday when the cough returned. I'm hoping by tomorrow i won't have to take it at night as I seem to be getting a bit better. Feel better soon!!!
@NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot beautiful photo! Can't wait to see the after photo with all the squishy babies!!
@jayandaplus sorry about the 1 hour. Fingers crossed you pass the 3 hour!
@WombThereItIs I'm sorry about the sinus infection.
I was organizing our junk drawer on the weekend and for some reason thought the floor was the best place to do it. DH just laughs at me now because I look like an old lady trying to get up and everything hurts! You'd think I would have learned by now.
I'm also looking at my list of things I still need to do/order and it's making me panic a little bit.

To all not feeling good, feel better!
Im with a lot of y'all ,i get sore just from cleaning and cooking dinner! With my first I don't remember getting so sore all the time and I worked 10 hour days most days at work.
Tomorrow will be 9 weeks to go it's going sooooo fast! Ahhhh. Dr appointment went great today baby girl sounds great! Later today DH and I are doing our OB tour at the hospital while MIL and FIL babysit. Even though it's not a date we're excited to be toddler free for a couple hours

@jayandaplus Fx the three hour tests goes well!
@NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot The photo is gorgeous! Love your blue dress. Can't wait to see the post babies photo
My random so far is I'm just tired. I did order some curtains for the baby's room so I'm excited to start adding colors! It's so plain right now with beige walls and white furniture. Now I'm spending a lot of time on etsy for ideas on what to put on the wall.
Yay for putting together hospital bags. It's a bit too soon for me but I just made some purchases that will go in there. It's getting real!
I'm still a bit in denial that this little human is arriving soon-ish. We haven't done much to get ready (using nursery as-is from DS), and we're busy just chasing DS around, so I honestly keep forgetting that I'm pregnant until I run into things with my giant belly or ache like an elderly person. Bleh.
But we did order her outfit for her newborn photos, so yea for doing something! We had a normal session with DS, but we also included a few Harry Potter-related pictures because we did an HP birth announcement. We didn't want to do the exact same thing for DD, so we got her a little snowy owl hat and swaddle wrap to be Hedwig. Our poor little humans are probably going to end up hating HP and be mortified that we did this to them.

@NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot , that pic is incredible and your dress is beautiful!!
I can't believe how close I am to having this baby. 6 weeks from tomorrow is my likely induction date. 6 freaking weeks! What?! Where has the time gone? I'm superficially ready (room, supplies, etc), but still not sure I'm mentally prepared for the change speeding toward our little family. I'm most concerned about DS and how he will handle it, but I'm sure it will all work itself out. I mean, it kinda has to, right?
