Hellobee Boards

@MrsTiz: he's adorable! Congrats

@Ash: long ones! I needed the big huge thick ones in the hospital but now that I'm home just regular Always pads work. Just make sure they're long ones

@Ash: Straight up Depends. Seriously. But I hate pads and they always move around and leak, so I just throw on Depends. They're comfy and don't leak.

@MrsTiz: You guys all look beautiful! Sorry to hear about the baby blues. Keep an eye on yourself.

Ugh. 37ish week appt yesterday and my blood pressure was a bit high again. So I am back Monday for another check. Midwife recommended that I stop working and start relaxing. So that should be interesting. I was hoping to work for two more weeks for both financial reasons and because I think I'll go stir crazy at home. Oh and positive for my strepB test. Bleh. I feel this easy pregnancy is starting to kick my butt.
In better news, while little dude is still breech but I've pretty much come to accept the idea of a c section. But I'm still rounding out a couple more accupuncture and chiro appts this week. It's soooo relaxing even if it doesn't cause him to flip!

Happy Saturday ladies!

@Ash: Baha, they don't know that you're not buying them for your grandma! At least, that's what I tell myself when I checkout with them.

@anbanan15: he's stretched out diagonally with his head to the upper left of my belly button pretty far to the side and his butt is on my lower right. He's seems quite content! I don't blame him it seems like a good spot! I have to admit he moves around so much that sometimes I can't figure out what body part is sticking out of my side, but then he settles back to his regular diagonal spot.
I'm definitely in a better place emotionally as far as being ok with his birth plan then I was a week ago after finding out!

@MrsTiz: your little family is so perfectly adorable! You look like a rock star w your hair cascading down, btw. Seeing your sweet fam is good motivation to get through the next few weeks... I want that!

We finally got a couple maternity pictures back. She said she's posting the rest of them tonight!

@lilteacherbee: so cute! They turned out great! I forget, how far along were you when you had them done?

@Ash: Haha you sound like me with your due dates. Technically, I'll be 36 weeks on Wednesday, but ovulation/8 and 12 week ultrasounds put me at 36 weeks today. Plus, I had a beta done at 10 dpo (only 7 dpo if I'm going by what the doctors say) and it was 32, which at 7 dpo is pretty much impossible!

@Ash: @Mrs. J: @anbanan15: Thanks!! I can't wait to see the rest of them! I was 33 weeks when they were taken.

@lilteacherbee: You pics are awesome. Makes me kinda wish we had done them, I just didn't really have the energy.

November is getting so close! It's hard to believe my due date is just 2 1/2 weeks out!

@Ash: Btw, the diapers are washed but I haven't removed them from the dryer yet lol. The thought of stuffing so many and organizing all the extra (OS) inserts right now makes me just want to sleep instead

@Ash: You have lots of swaddling options. I think we need at least one helper type of thing. We do have some A+A blankets and we've been watching the youtube videos on swaddling Maybe that will be enough. // Also, I think it's funny that your milk expiration date makes you think of having a baby // Are you glad you have that yoga ball? I'm thinking I need to get one. Sitting in my office chair for extended periods of time can be painful lately.

@sarah.clarisse: That's super cute that your husband is confident in his swaddling knowledge // Hope your appointment goes well today. Can you work from home at all? Enjoy your accupuncture and chiro appts this week.

@MrsTiz: SOooooOOOoOo CUTE! It's great to see you and your little family. I'm glad your husband is taking extra good care of you and that you're finding your way in the early stages of motherhood. You'll be a pro by the time I join you

@anbanan15: It's super crazy to think we're all moving into the next stages! I still feel far away, but then I think about how I only have 5 more weeks of work before my leave starts and it doesn't seem that long.

@MrsDragon: Glad to hear your car seat is in! I'm sure you'll be prepared no matter what. Early or late!

@lilteacherbee: That fuschia color looks great on you! Thanks for sharing your pictures

@Mrs. J: A little towel garbage bag for the seat is a great idea! Take is easy on those walks. I had a shooting pain while I was on a long walk yesterday too. Slowing down was helpful.

@MrsTiz: You guys are so cute! Sorry you're having some blues but it sounds like you're taking charge of the situation and you've got a wonderful little cuddler.
@lilteacherbee: Nice pictures!

I've got my hay fever now, happens every time the weather changes. We started painting the bathroom upstairs (well mainly DH but I've been filling in sometimes when he gets bored) so I thought that would help induce labor to have paint cans everywhere but no such luck last night. I'll be 39 weeks on Thurs so I'm ready to get this show on the road. I think they're only going to let me go a couple days past my due date (LO1 was only 3 days late so they said they'd wait till then) because of the umbilical cord so at the most I think I have about 2 weeks left.

@Ash: Swaddling tricks? You may have to share some of those... I have zero baby experience. Zero.
