Thankfully, I think we are over it, but not after I spent a week cleaning and doing laundry. On top of that, my SPD is getting progressively worse. SPD (Sympysis Pubis Disorder) basically just means my symphysis pubis (the middle of the pelvic bones that meet together) are moving a lot due to the ligaments all relaxing and are basically rubbing and clicking together. Yeah...not fun. I never had this with my girls thankfully, but I am counting down the days until this Little Man arrives. They referred me to physical therapy but told me that there probably wasn't much they could do. I also have a belly band that really doesn't help. Basically I'm stuck with tylenol and relaxing on days it is really bad, so we haven't gotten much done around here other than school (which is going great) and keeping the house in decent shape. This too shall pass. The doctor offered to induce at 39 weeks due to the SPD. Vaginal birth could cause more trauma to the bones meaning I could still have problems after birth, not to mention, I'm over being in constant pain. Assuming all goes well, we could have a December baby. Praying he decides to come before that or that the induction goes as smoothly as it did with each of the girls. I've been kicking it into high gear getting all the last minute things ready for him and I think we are pretty close to having everything we need minus the diapers. With just 8 weeks until then and Thanksgiving and Christmas in between, I know he'll be here before we know it!
On another baby note, there are such awesome things now that they didn't have when the girls were babies. I feel like they are still so little, but nonetheless, here are a few things on my baby/mommy wish list.
1. Nighty Night Nursing Light - The perfect amount of light to see for a diaper change and nursing session AND you can set it to vibrate after a certain length of time as an alarm in case you are in that mommy exhausted daze. It can also help keep track of which side you were nursing from last.
2. Little Green Pouch - First, they didn't have these handy little pouches available for store bought baby food when the girls were little. That little invention alone is pretty awesome, but being able to make our own food and use these reusable pouches is economical and so convenient!
3. The sugarSNAP Car-Go - This is the kind of thing that makes me giddy. Organization and practicality rolled into one. I'm such a nerd...and a mom...so I'll just own it and tell you how I NEED one of these. I will definitely be purchasing sometime before our PCS (military move...which we are praying will be a cross country trip). It has pouches to hold all the things you need with kids...spare clothes, toys/crayons/etc., DVDs, snacks, sunscreen, lotion, diaper cream...ahhhh...the possibilities are endless. You can take out a pouch to carry with you wherever you are going. Need a few toys to entertain them at the restaurant? Need some snacks for the zoo? It's all there in a nice little bag for you to toss in the diaper bag/stroller/backpack.
4. iBaby Monitor - First, let me say we will not be purchasing one of these. I am way too cheap. We already have a cheap, practical monitor that works just fine, and this may be the last little one, BUT...it is super cool.
My goals today include getting the Halloween pictures off my camera and getting them edited, so hopefully, I'll have a post soon with a cute little Ballerina and an adorable Care Bear. <3>

I too am lusting after that monitor. Some of the other things I didn't even know about, so now my wish list is growing too!
Oh what's on your wish list? I'd love a few new ideas! Are you CD this baby too? I'm so on the fence with a move and a potentially extended time without a home.
