I'm happy I'm off work today for a snow day. If the federal government in DC is closed my office closes. Of course I've been up since 5 but I got a great night of sleep so no complaints - nap later! I won't be happy if H decides to go into work but it's not a fight I'm willing to get into this morning.
I plan on drinking delicious coffee, catching up on tv shows, maybe a little cleaning that I didn't get to this weekend and some sorting of stuff from the office that will be the nursery to see what can be donated or moved to another location in the house.
The tiredness has set in. I need to get up (its midday and I am sat on the sofa) and make supper, wash dishes and do some laundry, but I am so tired that even blinking is exhausting. And my boobs have started hurting to the point of waking me up. Good signs I know, but man I had forgotten how bad they can be.
Tuesday night is family night in our house. That means no technology (TV, ipad, computers, etc). We play board games and things. Its nice, but not sure I will make it past 8:30pm.
SNOW DAY! Yay, another day to finish projects. My feet and hands are super swollen from all the projects this weekend though. I'm going to try and go to the OB today since I was supposed to go tomorrow. Today was supposed to be my last day physically in the office. I'm hoping I can make it in tomorrow.
I'm super annoyed that my kitchen table light fixture is not arriving until 1/24. It was supposed to be here today, not sure why it's delayed (no, it does not appear to be the snow). What makes it more egregious is I ordered the dang thing on January 5th!
I am going to a conference in Orlando. I am not sure how enjoyable walking around a conference center will be at 32.5 weeks pregnant.... I did book myself a room with a Jacuzzi tub. I plan on taking advantage of that

My lunch bag had a whole in it and my mason joar with my smoothie fell out and smashed all over the work garage. I had to pick up the glass, which made me a little late.

I am going at 9:30 for my first blood draw.
Dang, that's a shame! Sounds like a good excuse to treat yourself to something tasty. Are you doing the GD test today or something else?

I put this on ML randoms too. My landlord that I rent my salon space from sent me an e-card and said she was going to take $250 off of my rent for the month of Feb. She said she wanted to help the transition into motherhood easier. She is awesome and I am lucky to have her as a landlord!

At my last appointment on 12/30, my doctor suggested that I try to only gain .5 pound per week from here on out. I weighed myself this morning and I've already gained 4 pounds since that appointment. As much as I don't want to balloon up at the end, I don't feel super concerned about it. I'm exercising and trying to eat as healthy as I can (I'm a picky eater) but I hate getting that talking to by my doctor. Sigh. Being pregnant can be tough.
I am extremely nauseous this morning. It happens some in the mornings, but I'm sure it's because I am so nervous for my appointment today. My husband asked if he should stay home all day instead of just meeting me at my appointment and I just wanted to yell GO TO WORK! I'm glad he is coming to the appointment, but with my nerves I don't think I could handle him home all day.
I went to the doctor today, and I'm only 1/2 cm dilated, IF she's being nice. If I get induced, it will be next Thursday - 9 days away. My main problem is that I'm too tired to work or clean, I don't watch that much TV, I don't feel like reading, so I'm bored and cranky. I'm usually a very active person (working out was my hobby) so this is killing me.
I am jealous of all the people getting snow! Sometimes I really love living in FL, but more and more I miss the seasons and winter, but H likes to remind me that I am forgetting all the shoveling and scraping ice off the cars haha.
I am starting to get really stressed about the baby coming soon. We haven't officially decided that Viola will be her name, but it is the only one H likes and I love it as well. I love that it comes from my side of the family too. For some reason though, I can't shake the feeling that everyone is going to hate it and ask us WTF we were thinking. I keep having dreams reliving my coworker making that nasty comment at my shower and am dreading taking the baby to work to seeing this coworker because I know she won't ever keep her mouth shut. Im an avoider at all costs and I hate that I let her allow me to feel bad about it, but I still can't shake the feeling. I spent all morning trying to come up with some more common names that I liked and found a few, but I am worried I will regret it later on.

Another Floridian? What are you in? I'm driving up to Orlando for a conference this week and its only suppose to be 50 tomorrow. brrrrr.

I'm near St. Augustine/Jacksonville. I'm loving this cooler weather. We have had nights in the 30's so we have been using our fireplace a lot!

IMO, most people will not make negative comments on a name after the baby is here and the name is done. I'm sure a few will, but hopefully most will be polite enough not to. It seems that ppl are more vocal when names are still options and not attached to an outside baby.
At the end of the day, if you love the name and it means something to you - go for it! This is your daughter and your all's choice. No one else really matters.

How are you feeling otherwise? You are so close!!
You're close too! Honestly, I feel good. Being this pregnant is uncomfortable, but I think it's easier for me to handle 35 extra pounds than a woman with a smaller frame. I had quite a few contractions yesterday, last night and some this morning. I think it's probably a good sign that my body is getting ready. I always dismiss it as BH, but DH was getting pretty excited yesterday when I had them steadily for an hour. I put my feet up and they went away though.
....yup, there's another one. Mild ones in my lower back.
I go to the doc tomorrow morning - I hope my cervix is softening a bit. If not, I might get that primrose oil.

marie3246 I think Viola a lovely name. It's classic too, I don't think it's too out of the box. I love the name Violet, which is similar. I think "Vi" (pronounced "v-eye") is a cute nickname too.
If you're afraid of backlash, wait to announce. Frankly, I think waiting to announce is fun anyway. We know it's a boy but DH and I have kept his name a secret. Everyone will be so excited to hear it.

Maaaan, I want a snow day! P.S it's 85 degrees in So Cal today..

Indigestion is driving me craaaazy. I'm so burpy and gassy after even the littlest thing I eat. It's so aggravating. I'm eating Tums like candy but they don't seem to be helping much

How exciting! Glad you are feeling well. Good luck at your appt. hopefully somethings starting.
I was going to tell work today (at least the dept director) but I think I'm going to chicken out. I don't know. Really the only reason I want to do it now is so I don't have to continue hiding it with well chosen clothing.
I'm near St. Augustine/Jacksonville. I'm loving this cooler weather. We have had nights in the 30's so we have been using our fireplace a lot!
I'm in palm beach and it's too cold for us
And regarding name- we refuse to tell people our name. All that matters is that you love it.
Yes, we won't be telling anyone and I didn't actually even tell the coworker. She had asked what my family names where and I listed about 10 (not telling her we were liking Viola) and she went off about how much she hated that name. We haven't mentioned the name again to anyone, but when she announced to everyone at my shower that she hoped we were off the Viola kick, it really hurt. And now about 30 people know we might have been considering that name.

I hope people can keep their mouths shut, but who knows. I really wish she wouldnt have told everyone at my shower, but nothing that can be done now. I really need to just let it go, but for some reason I keep having these crazy dreams and hesitations. H and I really need to sit down and decide and I need to not let anyone else get in my head.
one of my best friends is due in Aug and their end of 1st tri u/s was yesterday and that's when they were going to start telling people (she told me a few weeks ago) - her mom beat her to the punch and announced their news on FB yesterday - I texted her and sure enough she didn't know her mom was going to spill the beans ... sigh, parents and social media, I cringed for her
I'm so tired of being out of my house - we house sat for my parents all last week which was fine but now they are back and we are still here b/c the painter we hired to paint the entire downstairs at our house has now gone 4 days over his timeline and our house is not live-able (we climb over furniture every night and sleep there but that's about it). I work from home and feel like I can't be quite as lazy/loungy as I usually am when my mom is right next to me all day haha (we work for the same company, we co-own it) - it looks like the painter has at least 3 more days of work - I'm gonna go crazy soon (my DS thinks it's great fun)
At my last appointment on 12/30, my doctor suggested that I try to only gain .5 pound per week from here on out. I weighed myself this morning and I've already gained 4 pounds since that appointment. As much as I don't want to balloon up at the end, I don't feel super concerned about it. I'm exercising and trying to eat as healthy as I can (I'm a picky eater) but I hate getting that talking to by my doctor. Sigh. Being pregnant can be tough.
I totally get it. It's so hard. I'm exercising when I can, but so often I hurt from normal movement and that makes it hard.
Also, the nausea has hit me. If I'm not eating, I'm queasy. So... this is not going to be good. I'd love to only gain 1/2 pound a week, but it seems so unattainable.
I'm already up 30.
on the app, please forgive
Knowing that we are due the same day, I was going to PM you and ask how much weight you had gained so far but wasn't sure if that would be rude!!! I've gained 22 but when I had my very first appointment with my doctor, she gave me 10 lbs as a max. TEN POUNDS. Like, I know I'm overweight already but seriously? I think in my head I had 30 as my max but who knows. I don't want to get caught up in worrying about it.

It makes me sad for you that you are worried about the name of your daughter. It is easier said than done to just say "forget what other people think." I can say with 100% honesty that Viola is a beautiful name. I have a friend with that name and she usually goes by "Vi" but the name sounds so regal and classy.
I really think that people aren't used to hearing certain names so it might seem shocking. But Viola is a totally normal name! If that is what you and your husband love, go for it and announce it with pride! It is the name of a lead character of a Shakespeare play, you know!!!
