Symptoms? Feeling like a beached whale most days. I'm starting to feel too big.
What have you done to prepare for baby this week? Nothing. Working on a house purchase.
Rants/Raves/Questions: My kids have been grumpy little boogers since the time change and several missed naps. I'm so tired of all the whining and not listening!
GTKY: How did you celebrate St. Patrick's Day this year? We wore green. I'm not a big St. Pat's person, even before kids. We don't make a big deal about it.
What have you done to prepare for baby this week? we did nothing this week
Rants/Raves/Questions: I've been raiding DH's shirts to have some more lounge around options. I think my belly is bigger this pregnancy than last one so my shirts are getting a little tight.
GTKY: How did you celebrate St. Patrick's Day this year? i had bunco and the ladies threw me a surprise diaper shower which was really sweet. I'm so touched!
Appointments this week? Yep, Tuesday for a sono and cervix check
Symptoms? Errrthang
What have you done to prepare for baby this week? Napped, taken walks, continued working so I have more PTO once she's actually here.
Rants/Raves/Questions: can this be the week? I wanna be done now.
GTKY: How did you celebrate St. Patrick's Day this year? Well, I went to work and then when I came home from work I showered, ate dinner, and went to bed at 730
Appointments this week? Checkup with the midwife on Tuesday, proper hospital tour on Wednesday.
Symptoms? Sore hips, lots of pelvic pressure, inability to sleep. I might actually be starting to waddle a bit now, which I never did with DD because I carried her so high, but this one is much lower.
What have you done to prepare for baby this week? Took DD to a sibling class, DH put the new dresser/changing table up, and we closed on our house!! Fastest closing ever - it went from listed to closed in 15 days!
Rants/Raves/Questions: I'm just done. So tired and sore all the time.
GTKY: How did you celebrate St. Patrick's Day this year? It was DD's 3rd birthday, so the plans were to go to the Children's Museum, but the night before she came down with a wicked cold, the poor thing, so it turned into a couch and movie day.
Appointments this week? Regular check-up Thursday. It's the last bi-weekly appts before weekly's begin.
Symptoms? New symptom- nose bleeds.
What have you done to prepare for baby this week? Nothing. Washed every sheet/towel in the house and disinfected from the stomach virus.
Rants/Raves/Questions: I have so much to do, and so much I want to do, but I'm so exhausted. When I do try to start on a cleaning project, I get so winded I have to take frequent breaks, then it makes the project last so long. What should take a couple of hours to complete ends up taking me the whole week!
ETA another rant... DH just informed me his is only going to take 1 week off this time. Last time, he took 3 weeks off, and it was amazing. Now, I'm going to have a NB and a toddler by myself 1 week PP because his new boss is an old-school ass *****. He thinks that parenting is a "women's job" and that taking more time off than that can "jeopardize his chances for advancement". I told DH that was illegal, but he isn't going to fight him.
GTKY: How did you celebrate St. Patrick's Day this year? Someone brought in green Krispy Kreme donuts, and I ate one. Does that count as celebrating?
