Due December 2012! Christmas Babies!

how is everyone doing? Overall I feel pretty good. Nausea is finally gone, energy is pretty good. I do feel pretty huge already. It doesn't bother me so much in the day but by the time I go to bed my back hurts and I feel like a beached whale, thrashing around for a few minutes until I get comfortable. Lol. I see my midwife on tuesday. I am curious to see how I am measuring. At my last visit, I was measuring 3 weeks ahead!

Finally moved all of ds2's clothes into ds1's room as they are going to share now. They seem pretty happy about it which is good. I was able to pull all the bins of baby clothes out of the basement. I have 12 large bags of boy clothes that I am bringing to my neice later this week. Kind of sad going through it all. I saved a couple special outfits that I have fond memories of them wearing. We have decided this is the last baby. The practical side of me knows that is a good thing... Not sure my heart totally agrees...

I feel like mine is dragging again too. LOL It sucks!

I also feel huge. I head back to work this week and no one knows I'm pregnant there. (I'm a teacher and was off all summer.) I'm dreading the insensitive comments already. I've never been a thin, cute pregnant person.

For those of you who work outside of the home, what week do you work until? I typically work until 36 weeks but was hoping to go to 38 so I get paid for Thanksgiving Break.

I am so tired and so sore by the end of the night I can barely move, I don't remember it being like this with my first two, I don't know how I am going to be able to hold up for another 15 weeks :sigh:

I also work until the bitter end! With DS1, I worked until 8pm, and went into labor at 11PM. I had a very rapid labor so with DS2, I stopped working at 39 weeks but then ended up being 8 days late! Doh! I regretted sitting at home. With the US's stupid policies on maternity leave, I dont want to use any time before baby if I can help it. I am not sure what I will do with this baby. My last labor was literally 1 hour - was sitting on the couch, feeling fine, eating a bowl of cereal at 4:45PM. Went to the bathroom, my water broke and he was born at 5:46! I currently work about 30 minutes from home so I will probably stop working on my due date if I have not had her yet.

i am feeling huge too and my back is killing me....I have been feeling like crap and pretty sure I have gestational diabetes again...yuck!! I did the test on Friday so I will find out this week....Also I should get a section date this month....This is my last baby as well...I am getting a tubal durning my section....Had another u/s at my OB office and he confirmed 100% girl...We are going to start her room soon....Time is dragging for me as well....

I have been feeling the same way NeedAGirl!....and this is my 5th! I think its going to be sad for any mom to realize that its their baby. I think I would feel the same sadness if it were my 10th. But this is the right time for us to stop as well. I just turned 32 and just want to enjoy my family.

Speaking of nurseries, I totally splurged... Which is ok because I have barely spent any $ on this babe. I went with this awesome shop on Etsy. Check her out.. makes custom nursery set. We are going with a lavender theme. (how fitting, right? after all my lavender soap!) Mellissa's Boutique by mellissasboutique on Etsy

Pretty stuff! :) Makes me wish we didn't co-sleep just so I had a reason to buy a crib set! lol.

BTW, doesn't our "baby" in our ticker look freaky this week? lol.
