Weekend randoms

[swiftlyirun]

I don’t know about y’all, but my Friday nights lately are even more lame than usual, so, what’s on your mind?!

[swiftlyirun]

I took DD1 to Trader Joe’s before dinner, bad idea, because I was so hungry and bought all the sweets. I’m going to have gained like 10lbs at my next appointment

I have to push myself to stay awake until at least 9:45. I could totally go to sleep by 8:30 but if I go to bed at that time I'd wake up at 3 and wouldn't be able to go back to sleep.

swiftlyirun, I totally feel you about how increasingly lame our Friday nights are getting. I'm totally cool with it though. Friday nights are normally pretty chill for us only difference for me is I can't have a drink while I relax.

We're going to a ultrasound place where they do early pregnancy ultrasounds for $20! We'll get a quick peek at our little gummy bear and get to hear the heartbeat. DH and DS is coming and I'm really excited for them to get to see it because they weren't with me when I went to my pregnancy confirmation ultrasound.

Super exciting! Hope all goes well 😊

dock - I was in bed around 8:45 last night 😂 No shame, growing a baby is exhausting!

It's really hitting me that I need to get all the things done this weekend since our little guy will be here in 18 days. My last 2 weeks at work (only 8 days left) are going to be insane so there will be no other time to make it all happen.

But, I really want to just sit on my butt and do a whole lot of nothing all weekend because I'm over the soreness of being pregnant and the heat since it's still in the 100s every day here.

Good luck with your induction dreamcrisp1!

[EllieT]

Felt absolutely horrible yesterday. So much coughing I lost both my breakfast and lunch. And a stuffed nose and headache combined with exhaustion. I broke down crying and probably scared DS for life. He’s been so sweet with me since, giving me lots of hugs and snuggles saying “mommy good?”

Feeling a bit better today. Hopefully things can get started soon as I really would prefer to start naturally and not with an induction.

psychmom $20- that’s amazing!!! I’d be in there all the time, lol!

dreamcrisp1 good luck!!

We went to target today and I got the last body pillow in the store. I can’t wait to go to bed tonight. Lol.

On Friday, I was about to buy an Elsie crib from pottery barn. With the holiday weekend discount, it would ship for about $500. Then did a random search on facebook marketplace and found one for $200. Used, but in perfect condition! I already picked it up and now I'm itching to get the room painted so I can set it up! 

Other than that, I've just been snacking the weekend away.

Think it has started! I woke up just before midnight (so 1.5 hour ago) with strong period like cramps in my back and front. They’ve now developed into a pain that comes and goes. Seems very similar to my labour withDS.

My mom’s been saying all along that baby would come Sep 2 - she might be right...

Yay! Come on baby.

I was so tired today, so very very tired. I napped for 3 hours this afternoon after a crazy morning then went to the pool with two toddlers for 2.5 hours, came home, baths and put them to bed then took another nap for an hour. Here’s to hoping I sleep tonight!!

Also, where is my second trimester energy?!?!

[EllieT]

I spoke to soon I guess. I had regular painful contractions for over 4 hours (it felt just like with DS). Went to call the hospital but was about to have another contraction so waited for it before I called. Pretty much still waiting. Contractions slowed way down and then disappeared. We went back to sleep around 5 am. I’ve had like one or two random contractions but that’s it.

I guess I hope they call from the hospital about the induction today.

Good luck @elliet! I hope things pick up or your induction goes smoothly today.

DD (4) stayed with my Mom overnight and through today. I have made three batches of muffin to freeze, a quadruple batch of spaghetti sauce to freeze, washed all the newborn to 3 month clothes I have as well as all the blankets, sheets, etc and organized them all. I’ve packed the baby’s hospital bag and installed the car seat base.

I still need to boil clean some pumps parts and soothers for this baby. That’s about it though. I told DH he was in charge of feeding me while I got shit done. He has not, so I’ve been noshing on fresh orchard apples and chips all day as well as a couple of mini muffins. Oh well.
