Anyone want a late bump buddy?

I'd love to take a bath, but there's no point. The water does't cover my belly, and I just get cold. I'll be fine, I was just having a moment. I put the kids to bed early and I'm just going to paint the letters for the baby's name, and watch TV. Unfortulately, my brother needed help at his house tonight, so I'll be on my own when the ball drops. It's the second time in 15 years that we've been apart for the New Year. Last time was the millenium. He was in Antarctica on an ice breaker in the Coast Guard. It's okay.

mjvdec01, i was reading your post and for some reason your Dr's name sounded familiar, then looked over and realized your from everett which is only about 30 away from tacoma where im at! Hope everything goes well for you! Small world! Daisydaisy83, i looked that up a few months ago and realized the same thing, maybe we will be the few that actually have thier babies on thier due date! haha Sounds like everyone is kinda in the same boat of being too miserable and pregnant to do much of anything for the new year, im just happy being warm and toasty at home with huge amounts of food. I have my midwife appt. in a few days. I feel like ive maybe dialated and effaced a bit (fingers crossed) because of all the BH and whatnot, but knowing my luck probably not. I guess ill find out soon though!

I love Dr. Edstrom. He's short, stalky, has a beard and is covered in hair. He reminds me of Robin Williams. I've been seeing him since 2004. His office is in Puyallup, so closer to Tacoma than I am. When we had our other two, we lived there. I refused to change OB's when we moved, so I make the drive.

Hes delivered a couple of my friends babies then!! I delivered in puyallup last time when i lived closer to there. What a small world!

It really is. I'm sure your girlfriends loved him as much as I do.

It's our month! It's our Month! Happy New Year!

 

[daisydaisy83]

Feeling excited now that it's January and not much left to prepare! Nappy new year everyone!

 

[Tankmom23]

i KNOW! Its crazy!! i feel like it went so fast!! I remember thinking that january was soo far away when i first got pregnant, and now its here!Starting the countdown! Wonder who will be first to go!

 

[mommyB]

^^^^ Ooooh I wonder who's gonna go first too! Anyone feel like it could happen soon?

 

[mommyB]

I'm thinking Leinzlove is going to be first!

 

[mjvdec01]

I would LOVE to be the first one to go, but I don't think it will happen. I'm having contractions, but nothing productive. Still painful, though.

It's January! It's our month! Bring on the babies. I wonder who's going to go first too!! Sorry you didn't get your new years baby, MommyB I can't wait to not be pregnant haha Hope every one had fun bringing in the new year.

Have you ladies/are you ladies packed your hospital bag yet? I haven't gone out and got my travel size toiletries and a few other things for it yet, and I don't want to do it too soon but you never know what will happen.

Any one have a time line list of things to do in the next couple weeks?

 

[mommyB]

Yup no New Years baby!

Hospital bag is packed. I just need to put in a shirt to wear home and pack the last minute things. Which I made a list on the fridge (camera, iPad, charger..etc.) so I wouldn't forget. We're only 5 minutes from the hospital so if we need anything DH can pop home or we can send my parents.

What kind of things do you mean...list wise?

 

[OliviaRae]

I was just wondering if any one had a list of the things they still need to do before baby gets here... like mine would be

-wash all baby's clothes and put them away
-put carseat together and install it in car
-finish hospital bag
-clean my house good one!
-get a mani and pedi (I want cute nails and toes! haha and this may be my last one for a while!)

 

[mommyB]

Oh, I don't have a list. I'm pretty much ready. I wouldn't mind putting a fresh coat of polish on my toe nails, if I can reach Im pretty much just waiting now

 

[mommyB]

Oh we do need to clean out the car really bad! My husband is going to get it detailed, we have a dog so there is hair and drool in the back. Luckily the seats are leather so easily cleaned. That's a big one for us!

 

[OliviaRae]

I need to add that to my list too!

 

[Tankmom23]

ive had my bag packed for a few weeks, i didnt want to get caught up in the holidays and forget about it! Ive just been throwing stuff in as i have gotten them and i got the last few things i needed for christmas. Made my "padcicles" and everything. I feel so on the ball!
My list includes
sewing a changing pad for my diaper bag
Finishing my 2nd batch of freezer meals (i have around 7-10 done already) i want to have a full two weeks worth
Clean my carpet and mop my upstairs
and go pay my registration fee for the birhting inn (which i cant do until im officially 37 weeks)
im hoping to get a pedicure/haircut/eyebrow wax before he comes but who knows!

 

[Leinzlove]

MommyB: I'm not so sure I'll be first, lol. Really no signs... But it did tickle me.

Did I update that I had no further changes on Monday? But, I do have an ultrasound tomorrow. I'm very excited about seeing my Little Love one last time before birth.

I've been feeling better achy wise. Some days are very bad, and others I barely notice I'm pregnant. I've also been very spoiled by DD and DH. So, pampered in face I may want to stay pregnant forever. Not really but haha.

No major lists to get done before baby here.

 

[mommyB]

Come on babies!!!! 37 weeks and full term today.....I'm ready!!

 

[daisydaisy83]

My hospital bag is packed all but last minute stuff like ipod and dressing gown. Got LO's bag to pack this week.

Today is the first real day of my leave after the regular christmas break so I've started on the big house clean - it's no short job but will keep me busy! I'm going for a pregnancy massage tomorrow afternoon and to have my hair done the day after. Not too much else left to do other than wait for my husband to finish painting the mural in baby's room and move some furniture!
