Happy due date, baby girl 🥰 (Im)patiently waiting for your arrival 🙏

Can I put “nobody saying ‘you got this’ to me” in my birth plan That irritated me when I was marathon training and it irritates me now 🤷‍♀️

I bought 5 things from my registry this morning 😂 it’s how I’m easing the anxiety of TOMORROW BEING MY DUE DATE

Happy Chanukah 🕎 We have a lovely holiday corner

Would kinda be funny if baby decided to come now since it’s snowing 😅

The deer enjoy the bird bath

We are all waiting 😂

Mom dropped off homemade chocolate chip cookies 😍 What’s funny is I almost asked her to make me some but I didn’t ask and she made them

Thought I wouldn’t have to see this after Step 1 and now it’s on IM board practice??? Excuse me

I was born 5 days after my due date and idk how my mom survived that I’m losing it day by day and I’m still 3 days from my due date

Remember when I was delusional and thought I’d deliver my mid-December baby in November

I found out I was pregnant on 4/11 so it’s been over 9 months now!! I’m readyyyyy

Not having to be at work at 7am is so good for my mental health rn

18 weeks pregnant & my first workout in my maternity workout outfit ➡️ 39 weeks pregnant & hopefully my last workout in my maternity workout outfit (of this pregnancy) 30 min walking bootcamp ✔️

“LFGO” doesn’t work so Pete can’t go there, sorry

Last inpatient shift this pregnancy ✔️ Now it’s clinic until baby comes

Today was supposed to be my last day of work before maternity leave but I’m working until this baby comes Maybe today is my last day anyway? 🤞

Constantly thinking “will this life altering event happen today?” That’s what being 39 weeks pregnant is like Wild

I’m excited for the baby to (hopefully) come this week for tons of reasons, but I’m also excited to finally tell people her name!

Today was the last time I’ll be more than 20 mins from the hospital until baby is born She did well and didn’t come while I was ~50 mins away at my parents’ house

Perfect first book for baby’s tree bookshelf 🥹

The science hasn't changed. The Hepatitis B vaccine is safe and effective. Up to 90% of those infected at birth will develop chronic infection w/o vaccination. The newborn dose is an important part of creating lifetime protection from liver disease and cancers. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Treating myself to a pedicure and a foot massage today and there’s no way there’s a lady next to me watching Judge Judy out loud on her phone, right??

The babies who will become infected as a result of this vote — and some will die prematurely of liver disease — will overwhelmingly be those born to marginalized, underserved families. This is a profound failure of evidence-based public health and a big step backwards. 2/2

Talked to a person I didn’t know today today who is early in their pregnancy and they told me their due date is 6/10 That’s my uncle’s birthday (the one we’re naming the baby after) I love getting signs

The ACIP Committee which has exactly 0 general pediatricians just voted 6-4 to recommend that we do lab draws on babies to determine if they need subsequent doses of Hepatitis B vaccine. There are multiple problems with this:

11 days until due date 🙏

I, at 38.5 weeks pregnant, shouldn’t have to go to work when it’s this cold!!! (I’m going I’m going)

My friend cooked, my husband cleaned Honestly this was such an ideal night

My friend traveled ~2 hours and made me my favorite stew 🥹🥰

I thought I didn’t look that pregnant today but a random person told me not to give birth in the elevator so I guess that’s untrue

Ya know, December 4th is a good day to have a baby 👀 🤷‍♀️ Just putting it into the universe

I saw a tiktok that said something along the lines of “didn’t realize that having a baby doesn’t teach you nursery rhymes” and I relate I know like 3 from my niece and nephew but I actually know almost no baby songs

Did a mom chop a little early 💇‍♀️

I’m finishing up the Empire of Storms audiobook and could you imagine being someone who read this in real time with THAT cliffhanger and got a new book however many months/years later only for it to be Tower of Dawn and not pick up after Empire of Storms?! SJM mean for that

I called out of work today because I was up from 2:45-4:30 after not sleeping well before that and what I don’t need rn is to push myself

Happy Medicine fellowship match day!! Super excited for my friends

I’m hep B negative but I’m also non-immune after two rounds of vaccines and high risk as a doctor! Excited to give my baby her birth dose (hopefully soon 🤞)

I was 5 days late and my husband was 4 weeks early so I feel like our baby coming 2 weeks early is reasonable

Got an EOB for $1600 from a doctor Said “absolutely not” Called my insurance and it was because of a misfiling Reminder to always ask clarifying questions before paying hospital bills

Happy December!!! Aka baby due date month 🤗

Going back to work tomorrow after 4 days off 4 days off was absolutely lovely 16 days until my due date. We’ll see if I make it that far 😅

My friend just got back from three weeks abroad and is going to take a ~2 hour train to my apartment with homemade dinner on Thursday 🥹 Because that’s the kind of person she is

Pregnancy cravings have been different from what I thought they’d be It’s less “I want this obscure thing at 3am” and more “I want Honey Nut Cheerios every day for a month and then never again”

I theoretically want to buy some clothes today but I have no idea what size I’m going to be over the next year

😋

Got “I love you and I missed you” from both my niece and nephew when I said bye to them 😭

Last Thanksgiving before baby 🥰

My almost 3 year old niece calls Mike “Uncle Moke” 😂
