all our bags are packed, we’re ready to go…
I am preg.nant.
I woke up this morning about 30 times more exhausted than normal. Lately at night I’ve been getting these weird pains and funky feelings in my tummy…i think they are just braxton hicks contractions but they wake me up and i sit there thinking…”oh my god this is it”. its not it. I’m just freaked out.
It’s crazy how much of a terrible person i feel like these days. my hormones are a wee bit nuts and I’m gonna be honest…I’m not very nice.
The worst part about not being very nice is that it usually lands right on Brett…who is actually quite wonderful and is AMAZING at taking care of me. so i sort of give him the most snoot and then walk around feeling totally terrible about it because he doe NOT deserve it.
on another note. we are trying our best to prepare for this little monster. Brett was super intense about getting our bags for the hospital all ready. we went to target and got travel size toiletries and some comfy post birth jams for me to wear in the hospital. we loaded up on some hanes v necks for him and me for that first couple weeks of baby. basically relieving the pressure of thinking about what to wear when we’re figuring out this whole parenting thing at first.
id have to say…im most excited about the wonder woman underpants that we bought me to wear in celebration of going through labor (we’re very practical).
we both have a strange feeling that she is coming early. Brett said that every time i call him he thinks I’m about to tell him I’m in labor. we’re totally not paranoid at all. i guess we’ll see if we are right about this in the weeks to come.
Time seems to be flying by and there is still so much to do. AH! I know it will all work out great, but I’m definitely getting into the stress zone. One day at a time lemsters…one day at a time…oof.

I laughed out loud at the Super Woman underpants. I should probably start packing our hospital bag? I have a couple of things pulled aside but then I’m like “Well, what if I need it before then?” As if I need to use travel sized toiletries at home…. My hubs has been away all week on business, so I’ve tried not to stress too much about the possibility of pre-term labor. Luckily he gets home tonight.
You are going to be a fantastic laborer and even better mama! It’s always hard not knowing what to expect, but you’ll figure it out and B will be right there with you!
Thanks Tiffany!
We totally bought things to wear at the hospital and such because we wanted to pack our bags completely so we wouldn’t forget anything. we’re super absent minded, so we’re trying to be prepared as early as possible : )
i couldn’t imagine Brett being gone for a week! he left for like an over night camping trip with his friends and i was such a lump of bum while he was gone.
it’s so fun reading your updates! we’re so close, maybe we’ll even have our babes on the same day! : )
keep on keepin on woman! : )
I have my checklist next to our bag, so I’ll probably just pack it during the early stages of labor. So unlike me considering I have a Type A personality but I think having the checklist helps.
Rich travels a lot for work – wayyy more than either of us would like, like 40% of every quarter – so I’m (sort of) used to it by now but this week was harder than usual!!
You’re right. We are so close. Not much longer now!! Maybe our kiddos will be twinsies. =)
