January Jellybeans 2013!...

I haven't packed my hospital bag yet. I have no clue what the hell to pack!!

As far as baby moving... this little baby must have ADHD because he is moving 24/7!! hahahahaha!

Awww, thanks for the concern ladies, it REALLY means a lot. We're doing ok, for omce we didn't lose power in a hurricane so that was kinda neat. Our house is ok, we have a huge water tank outside and 2 sheets of covering came off it but we can easily put them back on so no worries.

Betheney I'm glad your bp is under control. Glad the stress seems to be easing on so many of us.

Yesterday was the worst of my illness I think with the coughing, I was up most of the night just coughing away, thankfully my ear stopped hurting and is clearing up nicely. The coughing is good practice for labor tho, I feel like I've gotten a really intense abs workout, my abs don't hurt so much anymore so I guess that's the silver lining to the dark clouds.

As for the packing of hospital bags an stuff, I have it in mind but kinda got thrown off since we'll be moving out for a couple weeks anyway and everything has to be packed up anyway. We have loads of moving around and packing to do and everything will probably start next week so not a lot of time to do it. I wish I could show u girls my teeny tiny house now and what it looks like after! I can't wait!

I'm going to start my hospital bag this weekend, my hospital recommends it be completed by 34weeks just in case you go early. But with my blood pressure I just want to be sure. I know some women have a slight dodgy blood pressure and then within 24hrs everything goes totally haywire and they deliver immediately at like 32weeks. I'm sure I'm going to be one of those women with controlled stable blood pressure until I'm full term but just to be sure I want it packed.

There's a sticky in 3rd tri with what to pack. You girls should have a look.

Currently 1.5hrs into my GTT and kinda BORED!!!!! I do love the sugar drink. Haha. I loved it with Eva too. Sure it makes me a lil nauseous on an empty stomach but it's soooooo yummy. Although at 25grams of sugar per 100grams it is sweet.

I'm starting my bag this weekend as well... Picked up some little toiletries and whatnot while at the grocery store today getting supplies for the hurricane.

AJ- glad to hear you made it through ok!!

East coast gals- hope everyone stays safe and dry in the coming days!!

 

[Betheney]

With Eva's pregnancy I bought all new toiletries for the hospital. It was like my special little bag with a new body wash and new soap and new bits and pieces rather than having to take all my regular stuff. I totally forgot about this little bag until I found it the other day with all the new stuff still in it. Lol. So it'll be going straight back into the hospital bag so that's one thing all sorted.

I still have a million maternity pads left over too

DeeDee- honey, you look great! Your bump is sooo cute! I ended up going into town this afternokn so I didn't get to take my bump pic!

Blossom- sorry to hear your DS is sick! hope he feels better soon!

AJ- so glad to hear you made it through safe and sound! And glad to hear you are starting to feel at least a little bit better!

Lillian- I definitely feel like LO has his/her lazy days! Quite active at night sometimes though.

Gorgeous Ducky!!

Thanks for the tip on the sticky thread about what to put in your hospital bag Betheney, I too had no clue and was just picking up bits of advice when you girls have talked about it before. I would honestly be lost without BnB - and most of all you girls

 

[sassy_mom]

I guess I really should throw at least a few things in a bag and pretend I'm getting ready!

I'm not buying DD a present when the baby gets here. She is so excited to have Chloe here that she won't be concerned with anything else. I do plan on running any visitors out so that she can have some time to meet Chloe. I don't want a whole bunch of people hovering around ... I know DH's whole family will be hovering for hours anyway so I'm going to have to tell them to go get some food or just get the heck out. I want to be able to spend some brand new family time with just us 4.

AJ glad to hear you are ok! Snow did you make it ok too? You ladies up north, I hope you all do ok. I read that they are calling this storm Frankenstorm because of the mix of wintry and hurricane. I hope all of you stay safe!

Thebump.com has a pretty decent checklist as well for the hospital bag.

I am starting to stress about this hurricane. The news makes it sound like the world is going to end because they need to sensationalize everything. The truth is somewhere in between the lines! My shower is next weekend and the storm is supposed to arrive on Monday and Tuesday! I am worried about power outages and road closures. Trying to stay sane.
