Well, the hormones have started kicking in. I just went flying into H's office (more like a man cave, but I hate that phrase) saying we had to leave to go to a diner RIGHT NOW because I need eggs, a pancake and chocolate milk. He said he was in the middle of something and I burst into hysterical sobs. Sigh.
I just got back from a bm dress fittting and grocery shopping and am looking forward to doing nothing else this weekend. The bm dress will be interesting, she's going to need to put panels in it and it won't be ready to pick up until the Thursday before the wedding :^)

eek - that would freak me out! when's the wedding? what style is the dress?
Trying to work on some homework, but seriously start to fall asleep almost every time I try to start reading or watching any of the professor's lectures. I'm not sure what I was thinking signing up for a graduate online class while pregnant (and trying to prepare for baby), and working full time...obviously not a good idea!
Other than that, we put up a new ceiling fan in our sunroom today...I'm feeling pretty accomplished so far, ha ha
I'm going to my second baby shower for a friend this month today. I am kind of feeling emo about how second babies don't really get any sort of special celebrations like my first did. Poor kid.
Woke up to a very sad story on Facebook, a friend of mine's baby was born but did not survive. One of those freak things, nothing to be done, but it took me very off guard. I haven't told H yet, he knows her as well, but I can't bring myself to talk about it.
So if you have any T&P to spare, please send them to my friend R, her baby E, and her family.

The wedding is 2 weeks from today, it's my bff's wedding and I'm the moh! I'm just crossing my fingers that it will work out.
We have just gotten home. First we went to Ikea for 3 hours. Bought a dresser for baby's clothes, but 3 hours of walking on crutches has killed me. And then we stopped in at John Lewis for my nursing bra fitting. We don't have a local one and I had heard really good things about their fittings so I forced myself to go while we were there. They are in a city about an hour away from my town. The store only had one bra in my size, but it was a third off, and they have others online.
Good gosh I'm tired. Nested kicked in this weekend. Cleaned house, bathed the amimals, 2 batches of banana muffins in the freezer and 7 crockpot meals are assembled and put in the freezer. I want to do more more more but I'm exhausted now so I'm lying in bed.
@sessalee I'm sorry to hear about your friend. Keeping them in my thoughts.
Bought paint for the nursery this morning. Then helped my BFF buy the last minute stuff/registry completion at Target. We found her a misplaced Ergo that had been clearanced out. Brand new Ergo = $36.
I was just enjoying a nap until my phone started ringing off the hook. Apparently if I don't answer, the only explanation is that I'm in labor and keeping it a secret from my mom. I just yelled at her and now I'm cranky. I have a scheduled csection FFS, I thought we could avoid this!
DH makes me BONKERS!!! He constantly loses his wallet or keys. We have an Easter egg hunt at least once a weekend. Today we tore the house apart looking for his wallet. Guess where it was - under the bottom of the bedroom curtain on the floor. He found it right when I was ready to cancel all his cards.

OMG My H does this too! At least twice a week we do this, usually when we're running late for work. I don't understand how it's so damn hard to put your stuff in 1 place.

I've been bummed about this too. It's not even that we need anything, especially with having another boy relatively soon after our first, but the level of indifference toward kid #2 and beyond is deflating.
I sewed the crib skirt today and am really happy with it! I want to sew one more thing and need a little trash can and then I think the nursery is done outside of the rug I have on order. I never thought this would happen before I delivered.

I think I've realized I can't do much of anything. We went shopping at an outlet mall today and we walked around a bit. I went to the bathroom and there was some minor spotting. Of course. After getting home I kicked my feet up and relaxed and it seemed to have gone away. Then we went grocery shopping. I started getting some minor cramps and one kinda bad pain, and there is just the slightest bit of spotting again now (it's brown). Seriously?! I'm thinking I just need to take it easy but I didn't even walk around that much. Do I really need to spend the entire pregnancy sitting? I will definitely keep my eye on the spotting and pain and bring it up at my next appointment (not for ~2 1/2 weeks) if it doesn't get worse. I'm just frustrated! I have my feet up again, relaxing in my chair, and it seems to be better for now.
But while shopping, I did get a few maternity things. I got a pair of dress pants and a cute sweater. We went to Motherhood Maternity and I didn't realize they give you a bad with free samples and coupons! There was a LOT in there, including a bottle and a jar of baby food. Cool!
We bought all new kitchen appliances today. It was exciting but a good chunk of money.
I think the peanut found my bladder because this afternoon I felt sudden urgency. I went to the bathroom and then immediately felt like I had to go again and I just had my urine tested yesterday so I know it's not a UTI. I pushed on my stomach some and he seemed to move because I felt better.
MrsAggie but all the time? I didn't feel like I did that much. What am I going to do when we go to Ren Fest? I don't want to just sit around all the time
I feel like we are mean parents. With DS we had a full Winne the Pooh themed nursery set-up by half way through the pregnancy. This pregnancy we have set up a dresser and a bassinet in the corner of our bedroom at 36 weeks. And we never even bought the dresser, my mom did, lol. It's her present to the baby/us because we need hardly anything. DH is going to go and pick up the stand for the bassinet this afternoon. But deep down I know all these things are not going to make a difference to the baby.
estrellita I didn't get any form of energy until about 18 weeks. Even then I ran a bunch of errands, it was really hot outside, and I started feeling dizzy and like I was going to pass out. Before 18 weeks I just felt awful when running errands. I guess every body is different so you just have to pace yourself.
I went to pick up a couple new bras since the band had been digging in and the cups in my 30A were getting a *little* full (Tiny tata club president right here.) Grabbed what I thought was a 32A, quick tried it on, and was in heaven. Went to pay and the woman said - "you know these are 2 for $50, right?" So I ran back to get another, but then couldn't remember if I grabbed 32 or 34A. Back to the counter to ask the checkout woman, and she says, "32C". I immediately respond with "the one I gave you???" Yup. I so didn't even believe it was the same bra that I went and tried it on again. Thanks boob fairy!!
We had an earthquake early this am. I was annoyed at DH bc he was shaking the bed. Then we realized it was an earthquake, we laughed & went back to sleep. I checked out the nursery this morning & everything is in it's place. That makes me feel good that we have set things up safe.
The baby has been moving around like crazy this morning.

LOL this happened to me when I lived in an apartment. Woke up annoyed because what was my next door neighbor doing??? Realized it was an earthquake, went back to sleep.
