I had my 37 week appointment today. Somehow I gained 6 pounds in one week! I have no clue how that happened. I think the doctor was a bit off with their scale. I blame most of it on a full bladder and water retention. I am so stinking swollen lately I feel like a marshmallow. (Or it could be the large quantities of crappy food I keep eating.)
This past week has spent preparing all our freezer meals for when the baby is born. For $150, we made 11 meals, 10 frozen pizzas, and a crap load of pancakes for breakfast. That is not including leftovers that the casseroles will yield. I think we did a pretty good job. It sucks to pay that much up front, but at least we have food ready to go so I won't have to venture to a store very often with two kids, and I don't have to worry about making a menu. We did this with Hannah and it was so nice. The only really big thing I have left to do it pack the hospital bag. I keep putting it off, but I am not sure why. I think packing a hospital bag makes it real, and I am not ready for reality. I know I should do it since the doctor said the baby is low and it could be any day. I am ready to not be pregnant, but I don't think I am ready to handle two kids. Hannah is really testing boundaries lately, and it is driving me crazy! I don't even want to think about it getting worse after the baby is here.
That's awesome. Sounds like you are almost ready! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're going to do great. You can totally do it.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to do the meal thing for when both girls were born, but so far it hasn't happened.. Maybe when we get to #3 I'll actually get around to doing it.
ReplyDeleteI know I waited until the last possible minute to pack a bag and put the carseat in the car. Lucky for me, baby #2 was fantastic and it was hardly any different than only have 1. Good luck!
I'm jealous that you're able to prepare meals. I thought about doing it but I know most of them will go to waste since we're moving shortly after baby arrives. I feel ya on everything else....I'm ready to not be pregnant, too...but how in the world do we deal with 2 kids?! It'll be interesting! ;)
