The pants demi panel maternity pants I bought a few months back are now too tight and the panel is uncomfortable. I really don't want to waste money on new pants. Off to the Salvation Army I go!
I am trying to get some cleaning done so tomorrow after my u/s DH and I can just veg and have a lazy weekend putting up Christmas decorations and ordering take out. I never know when our last weekend will be so I want to try and make each one count.
I feel so, so behind on this getting ready for baby thing! The nursery isn't finished, no clothes are washed, not a blanket is washed, no car seat in the car, no bag packed, etc... I think the Holiday season occuring at the same time as prime getting ready for baby time has had some unepected consequences!
On another note, I saw pink on my TP when I went to the bathroom last night. Turns out it was from some chafing that bled a little but holy crap did it scare me. I'm not ready yet kid (see above) so stay put for another couple weeks! Thanks!
My last shower is suppose to be Sunday but we may get ice this weekend. I'm hoping it isn't awful enough to have to cancel the shower. Just found out my parents are for sure moving to where I live now this is a good and could go bad thing. My puppy is not feeling the best so I'm taking her to a neurologist on Tuesday to have her checked out. This kid is so active multiple times a day I feel like I'm wasting money getting NST done and going to talk to the doctor Tuesday about not having them so often.

I remember all the third tri ladies warning that the demi was great at first but stunk in third tri. So true. I can deal with my trousers, but the demi jeans are uncomfortable. I told DH it felt like wearing tight pants after Thanksgiving, when you just want to unbuckle and let it all hang out. Anything tight aroudn my waist hurts my back, so I've been wearing loose skirts and dresses lately.

My second shower is Sunday too. I'll be so bummed if people can't make it because of ice
@missy1 - we finally installed the ceiling fan in the nursery today (well, an electrician did). It looks good, works well. It's definitely small. A little smaller than I thought, but it puts out plenty of air for a smaller room. Also, the center light isn't terribly bright (in case you were concerned about that - I know some fans have a really bright center light).
Had my first internal today and my cervix is closed. I was 1 cm and 50% effaced with DD at 36w (and at 39w). I hate getting checked -- it is a total mind game. I don't want to have this baby until after Christmas, but still. OB said I'm likely to go early since DD was a week early but with my "no progress and then spontaneously going into labor" history, I am an impossible one to predict.
S had his 2 week checkup today. He is now a full pound OVER his birth weight and nearly 2 lbs over his discharge weight. Clearly we have no problems with breastfeeding. His head is in the 90th percentile (my vag could have told you that) and he's 'grown' (or unfolded ) 2" as well.
B also had his 3 year appt. He's grown another half inch since I last measured him for an official height of 3' 3.5" and 35lbs. Pedi made the estimate that he'll be about 6'2" or 6'3" when fully grown. Which is about average for the men in my family and would place him smack between me and H.
I'm glad that these guys come out of me relatively normal sized and THEN grow like weeds.

I have work to do, but all I want to do is lay on the couch.
I think I'm having BH, but I'm really not sure; which sounds so stupid. I feel like I can't be having them because I should be able to tell. I've always been under the impression that they would hurt; but this doesn't hurt. I'm tired of all this.
I've slept better the last two nights then I have slept in weeks.

I woke up today and I realized my tshirt barely covers the bottom of my belly and there's a breeze. It wasn't like this yesterday. I hope the baby dropped.
Add me to the list of people super bummed about the winter storm. We were supposed to take maternity photos outdoors this Friday but rescheduled to Monday. Monday's high is going to be like 31 deg C. Now I am stuck trying to find an indoor location (which will cost $$) or rescheduling perhaps until after xmas. I am pretty sure I will blow up by then and look like crap.
Stupid TX weather. It was 75 deg Tuesday and Wednesday this week.

BH's don't hurt, the belly just gets tight.
That is what my sister said, but it always feels tight or hard. I've tried various things to determine if the hardness is changing; like seeing how much skin I can pinch when I think i'm having a BH & how much I can pinch when i'm not having one. (LOL, not effective).
I've tried keeping my hand on my belly to see if I can feel a difference (nope).
I fail. I guess it doesn't really matter if I'm having them?
"Real" contractions will be different, I guess? Those are the ones I should be concerned about, right?
I've turned into a {super} paranoid nut since Tuesday's appointment.
My baby kicks and squirms when I wear demi panel jeans. I don't think she's a fan of the panel invading her space. Full panel is way more comfy at this point anyway!
My afternoon is suddenly wide open...I had planned to meet with a contractor but he rescheduled on me. What to do? I should put up the Christmas lights but it's raining on and off (is it dangerous to put up lights in the rain? LOL, sounds like a good excuse not to, anyway...)
I probably shouldn't tell you all that are getting winter storms that it is 80 and sunny here.
I am very much ready to be done with work today. Between vendors making me so mad I nearly cried and listening to my oustide staff on my radio in my office is making me go batty.
Hope the bad weather doesn't derail your showers, simpsongal and piaffe.
Yesterday, I told my boss and my boss's boss that I am pregnant. I was so nervous to say anything but it was super easy and it went really well. Tonight, my company has its holiday party and although I can't drink, I am really excited about the awesome cookie spread they have every year. Speaking of cookies, I'm hosting a cookie exchange with girlfriends next week. If you sense a theme, yes, mama wants cookies.

Yes for me contractions have lots of pressure and I can't breathe. And they build up. Like start off mild get harder stay that way them release. BH's stay the same.

LOL. We are just down here sweating g while the rest of the country is freezing it's nuts off. Stupid florida- I wish it was at least kind of cool.. The high today is 83 here & 84 tomorrow. :/

last week was nice temps but rainy
I hope we get a break soon! I attempted to go to an art festival last weekend... that lasted about 45 minutes before I needed ice cream and a bench.

Welcome to the club lol….I randomly get really bad pressure and it hurts to move - then it goes away. It's not consistent or anything, just a pain. I had big plans to do some cleaning but I didn't get very far
my job is making me crazy-- last year for this event we did e-invites, so assuming everything is the same, we collected everyones email to do an e-invite. a week before the event they now want to do actual mailed invitations.... really?
I have an OB appointment today. So I gave in and haves my legs. (I was trying to hold out until DH gets the tub done, 8 weeks and counting) O well, I'm not going to a physical with legs like they were.

I have my shower this weekend! I think that it's going to be pretty small, mostly close friends and I'm excited. I am just not in the mood to around a lot of people these days, I'm just totally drained and in pain all the time now.
We put up our tree last night and it cheered me up! Plus I ordered a sweet Duatailier glider last week and I just got the nofication that it shipped. Woohoo!
I feel so, so behind on this getting ready for baby thing! The nursery isn't finished, no clothes are washed, not a blanket is washed, no car seat in the car, no bag packed, etc... I think the Holiday season occuring at the same time as prime getting ready for baby time has had some unepected consequences!
On another note, I saw pink on my TP when I went to the bathroom last night. Turns out it was from some chafing that bled a little but holy crap did it scare me. I'm not ready yet kid (see above) so stay put for another couple weeks! Thanks!
How far along are you? I'm 33 weeks, so I have some time (hopefully), but literally nothing in my nursery is done or ready to go. I have a crib, a glider, but nothing is set up, everything is still in bags and boxes, nothing washed, no art hung or anything.

37 weeks! I really should get a ticker, but at this point it's not worth it!
