Hellobee Boards

@IRunForFun: luckily he just did it and it took what 5 mins. I mean what was the hold up. @snowjewelz: you better believe next Sunday I will be walking all day to try and get things moving naturally so I could have my doctor deliver this baby too!
@Chillybear: Disney on Ice sounds so fun!

@Chillybear: so cute! I love that wall color.

I typed a post and it got eaten, argh so annoying!!

I just did a 4 errand outing, groceries, meatman, dollar store and coffee grinding (lol for DH) with both kids and I feel like I just took on the world and won, lol. Feeling good today. Cashier at grocery store was like "you have been pregnant forever it seems, must be due soon?" And i don't ever always just go to her, it was cute she recognized! Insane saying "due next week!"

39w today, appt tomorrow.....bump!! I was 194lbs last week (up 55lbs) and still hoping to hit 200lbs, but we'll see. A friend due on the 1st had her baby today (her fourth!) Super excited for her.

@sunnyday: looking good, super mom!!

@Smurfette: we ended up doing infant in the middle and convertible behind passenger so I can still squeeze in the back just in case. But I am still considering putting infant behind drivers seat bc having 2 next to each other isn't the safest either...

@Smurfette: Yay for having the car seat installed!

@Chillybear: Awesome nursery! I really like the paint color.

@snowjewelz: Ha, I know right? As long as the baby is healthy I'd rather have smaller than bigger. Also, I am only 5'1" and started pregnancy around 105 lbs so I'm pretty petite; DH is very lean and only 5'8" so it isn't surprising that we aren't going to make a big baby! I think they just want to make sure the growth doesn't drop even further.

@sunnyday: Looking good! I had a similar comment from the bank teller about being pregnant for a long time, haha.

@IRunForFun: @snowjewelz: I am 5'6 and LO was 8lbs but I still tore and needed a super tiny cut.

I had one small tear with both, one stitch each. Wondering what will happen this time!!

Had my 39w appt this am. Snowstorm here this am, so driving was a bit of an adventure. 197.8 lbs!!! Sooo close and definitely my max, I only got to 196 with my first! Doc is at hospital Thursday next week (40+1), I see her at her office friday, then she's at hospital Sat and Sun. Did a sweep today, still 3cm.

@madger: Do you mind if I ask when your scan was and what baby was measuring? I had mine at 36 + 3 and they estimated 5 lbs, 6 ozs...I mean that's small, but not CRAZY small. I guess what matters is growth continues.

@sunnyday: Snowing here too, I'm glad I don't have to go out. I hope the sweep works for you!

@Smurfette: Eeek that's exciting!! NYE is still 2 days away, maybe baby will come even sooner? Hope the cough clears up first.

@IRunForFun: they actually didn't give me a weight! Just that she was in the 35%, so was on track to be similar to her sister (who was 7lbs born at 41 weeks).

@Chillybear: !! Keep us posted!!

@Smurfette: this was me pre labor! I kept saying I was going to cough this baby out lol. I didn't realize my water broke since I was peeing myself coughing so bad!

@IRunForFun: I hope you are hanging in there!!

@Chillybear: ahh!

@snowjewelz: I am, thanks!!

@Chillybear: How are you feeling now?

Anyone feel like maybe they'll have a NYE or New Year's Day baby? Not me! Been pretty active and on the go today and headed to a friend's house for dinner shortly. Wishing I hadn't sat down because now I don't want to get up!

@IRunForFun: don't think it is going to be me. I must have been wrong, not my bloody show. Maybe just blood from my check and my mugus plug. Nothing going on here.

I did get one last wax today, manicure, and pedicure. So I am ready now for baby. DH isn't, he wants to watch the game tonight at friends. I said just make sure you answer your phone if I call.

@Chillybear: I'm with you. I have no desire to go back to work. I am supposed to go Monday, company holiday, but in accounting, so year end close. My boss told me to stay home since it would be slow and most of my work is all being handled by others anyway. I did tell them next week I would be working from home every other day. If I make it to my induction, I will work Monday from home, and then go in Tuesday for baby day.

@Peasinapod: I am forgetting, where are you in Canada?

We just spent the afternoon down the street at friends house with a backyard rink. It was so awesome. Ordered pizza and stayed for dins, easiest bedtime ever! They were zonked!

We go for lots of walks, sledding, and I'm a big toy rotater in the house to keep things fresh for them. My DD is in jk and pretty easy to entertain with anything I give her, my DS(2.5) is neeeeedy and is a little harder to get him doingamything independently. We are lucky and have a 1600sq ft unfinished basement that might as well be a daycare. I have a slide, trampoline, mini stick "rink" size area, huge train table, carpet down, queen bed at floor level and the kids have a blast. Ride bikes and go go go down there too, we are in a bungalow so upstairs most of their toys are in their rooms with a smaller rotation in our one common area.

Today DH got a parcel from the courier and it came with a decent sized cardboard box.....thank-you for one hour of colouring the box, it was glorious, lol. I vacuumed.

@Smurfette: I'm thinking I will try for one last wax later next week, lol. I've gone once overdue for each of mine so far....hairy tradition

@babypugs: I sleep down there more often than not these days, that bit cooler makes such a sleep difference and a whole bed to myself....to snore in, lol. Two things my DH is surely looking forward to ending once this babe is here!!

@snowjewelz: I'm not ready, I am only 37+4.

@Smurfette: @Chillybear: I just started a new job this week. I plan on going in on Tuesday and Wednesday, but have a doctor's appointment on Thursday. Hopefully, they give me time off until the birth. Job knew about the pregnancy months ago. Same company, so I don't have an issue with maternity leave.

@snowjewelz: I'm excited to be able to all chat about our January babies too! I'm due till the end of the month though so it'll probably be awhile.

I actually ended up taking my 2.5 year old out of daycare for the year I'm on mat leave. Hoping I don't regret it. I do feel guilty because she loved daycare and had friends there but I'm hoping having her with me will force me to get out more and stay more engaged then I did when I was on Mat leave the first time .
