What's happening ladies?
April Siggy Challenge - May BMB - Newborn Fail
Re: Weekend Chat 4-8 & 4-9
I'm being a bad friend and now going to a friend's daughter's birthday party. I'm exhausted, my back hurts, and completely overwhelmed with the state of our apartment and nursery. So, my mom is going to come up and help with that and go to Costco. H has a dad's only class tomorrow at the hospital. Should be fun and interesting for him! Other than that we'll probably still work on the apartment and just hang out.
Hoping all all is well for those in L&D!!

The new flights they have me on will mean 5 hoirs
of flying instead of 1.5. I expect my feet may swell until they explode.

Hope everyone has a relaxing weekend!
I have my second baby shower tomorrow. Not sure what's on the agenda for today...probably mostly laziness and maybe baking brownies.
@WombThereItIs Hopefully this flight actually goes and your feet only explode half way
We have a 6 hour birth class today, what was I thinking????? It's also the nicest day of the week hopefully so we may go play some frolf afterwards and grill for supper. I would like to work on getting things ready for baby, but we've been doing that all week and there really isn't much to do at this point.
@absdubbs oh man! I hope it's not the only thing they do! We aren't paying for him to sit and complain for 3 hrs! Haha
@WombThereItIs hope your feet don't explode!!

I have my baby shower later this morning, super excited. Then I can head to Target and take advantage of their ongoing sale to finish up my shopping for the big items (assuming I don't get them at my baby shower today). Then for the rest of the weekend I want to finish getting the nursery organized. I will be 36 weeks Monday and starting to freak out things won't be done in time.
To all those relaxing, enjoy. To those doing baby stuff, yay! To those working, boo.
Also, don't forget to fill out the Hogwarts Admin Poll! We'll close nominations tomorrow afternoon and tally the votes to see who will be our admins in the evening.

My doc has been talking induction and it makes me super nervous when I think about it, so I'd love to hear how you're preparing mentally.
Woo!
We have an 7/8hr baby class tomorrow. What were we thinking?? That's a long ass day. But I'm kind of excited. I think it's going to probably make it more real to MH and I suspect there will be some ensuing panic. It will be funny.
@BeachMommy2B and @RainyDays86 take it easy this weekend and be kind to yourselves!
@starphish18 I hope your shower goes well!!
@WombThereItIs I hope you FINALLY get home and have some time to get some rest!

@WombThereItIs I hope you finally get out of the airport today! I don't know how you're still there. I would be renting a car at this point.
@BeachMommy2B I hope you have a restful weekend. Sorry you have to take it easy
@RainyDays86 hope you et everything done so you can not feel stressed before your surgery. Just remember, as long as the bare minimum is done, you're good!
@chickyclg woo hoo!!
@SKZW I know you asked @Kipperoo but I was induced with DD and it really helped for me to just realize that it was going to be a long process and my doctors were great about explaining why each step was happening. Cervadil, low dose of pit, Foley bulb, breaking my water, etc. For me I was induced due to pre-e and it took 3 days for DD to come. In the end we were both healthy. I'm sorry you're looking at induction! Do you know if they will make you do a mag drip? I think a lot of it is going to be mentally preparing yourself to not be able to walk around a whole bunch. I had to keep the blood pressure cuff on me the whole time. Thinking of you!
@WombThereItIs UGH I hope you make it home soon! Flying is the worst.
I hope everyone enjoys their showers and birth classes (even the long ones) this weekend!
I am so thrilled to FINALLY be home after 12 days of non-stop traveling!!! Now I can stop worrying about giving birth out of state and away from H, haha. Sorry I've been mostly out of TB loop during my trips. I have a lot of schoolwork to do over the weekend and H is working today, but I'm looking forward to starting to get our apartment in order for the baby. It's scary how little we have done (we've had a rough few months), but it'll all come together. Hopefully this weekend will make us feel better!
I am visiting my family in tenneseee as my sister had twins (kids #3&4 for her) in January and this is my first time meeting them. Epic sister fail over here.
I'm doing the hospital tour today, my husband couldn't make it because work so I'm taking one of my best friends with me just for fun. I'm the first one among my friends to be pregnant so it's pretty much new for everyone. On the house front: it looks like we'll be moving next weekend! So exciting.
Tomorrow we are going to brunch with my family, dying Easter eggs at my parents', then going to a Little Mermaid play with my best friend, her daughter, my mom, and my grandma. I'm looking forward to it, but it'll be a busy weekend!

If it's not too much of a pain, would you copy your reply over to the new thread I just started?
Heading to the the train station now to catch a train to a different airport a little ways or of town and then hopefully things work out.

+1 on needing to finish taxes
+1 on the hospital bag. Thank to the spreadsheet I at least have a list, just gotta gather everything!
I started painting around the trim in the nursery so DH can use the roller and finish the walls. I plan to start prepping the baseboard this afternoon so we can put a fresh coat of extra white paint on it. Its looking rather drab at the moment. I ordered this star/moon decal and it shipped from china on march 17. I am still waiting for it to get here!

I'm surprised how challenging it has been to find star/moon/solar system decor!
Good luck today @mcvgal hoping you both get to go home soon!!
Congrats @chickyclg that's celebration worthy!
In fun plans, we have an Easter egg hunt tomorrow so that should be fun!
@BeachMommy2B - Maybe you can catch a good marathon on the TV!
@RainyDays86 - FX that you can catch up on sleep and that your son's leg doesn't give anyone too many more problems. Don't overdo it trying to get everything completed before surgery.
@WombThereItIs - I saw your airport struggles and wish I lived a little closer so I could have brought you a care basket or something. I'm glad you're finally headed home, and I hope you can get some good aisle walking in to save your legs!
@absbubbs @MrsCPALeslie @ShadeofGreen816 - I remember our class was pretty long when I was pregnant the first time, but they fed us breakfast AND lunch - it was QUITE yummy. Make sure to bring pertinent information back for the rest of us!

I also ordered these navy blackout curtains with star prints. It's really lovely in person and the material seems like great quality.

@chickyclg Yay for making it this far in your pregnancy! Huge!
@RainyDays86 I've been thinking about you and wondering where you've been. Hope DS is healing well. Sorry your surgery got moved, but hopefully it'll be a good thing in the end.
@WombThereItIs I hope you make it home eventually, some day!
As far as things to keep my husband kind of present in a way he read books and sent the dvd's of him reading home with the book. It was part of a military program but your husband could easily do something similar. Every night we watched one and I would turn the pages and "read" with my son as dad narrated. It was a nice part of our bedtime routine.

My girls both have a "daddy bear" from Build a Bear that they made with him before he left one time. It has his voice recording and they sleep with it every night. We make sure to listen to his voice every night before we go to bed and my girls know they can "squeeze daddy bear when your missing daddy a lot!" We've also done the recorded books like @WombThereItIs mentioned! Hallmark actually sells recordable books.
We try to FaceTime with him as much as possible so the girls can at least "see" him if he is somewhere with phone or internet connection.

This weekend is a whole lot of nothing after DH was out of town last weekend, so while DS is napping, I'm currently buying everything on our registry with the completion coupon that finally came through. DH is getting a little sweaty when he's seeing the full list of things (which isn't even that much - haha!)
