Are you ready???

Hey ladies. Ftm here. Due January 2nd with a boy and I am READY!! Lol. Went for an ultrasound last week, he wouldn't show is his face but he is head down!! (Hence the reason I practically LIVE in my bathroom now lol)
I'm so over working right now. I work fast food and either have to stand still in one spot for 8-10hrs a day leaning out of a window. Or run back and forth making various drinks/dropping hashbrowns/fries etc. I'm super duper OVER it lol.
Still gotta get my hospital bag ready. I think I may pack one to take to work BC I plan on working up until labor.
Any suggestions on what to pack?
Who else is ready?
Due dates??
Good luck mamas

As for my swelling it gets serious at times. But they told me to cut out anything with salt in it, and I can't have fried foods... Everything is baked. My doctors words, "if it tastes good, don't eat it". But I cheat sometimes lok

Work until labor!? That sounds crazy. In Norway you have to stop working at 37 weeks, latest. I'm due january 1st, so ready for my baby to come now. But I plan on spending christmas with my feet crossed so I pass new years :D

I had to cut down my hours at my job because I'm on my feet about 8 hours a day :( I get swelled up fast from it. So I was placed on bed rest.
So if it gets to be a bit crazy on you, talk to your doctor! They sounds be able to help you out :)
I ready want my baby too. I'm sure Christmas, but I don't think I'll make it full term.
And as for packing, I'm not packing a whole lot. Just my meds, a few pairs of clothes (like sweats and whatnot), some food, and other basic necessities. My hospital has diapers that they'll provide :) but if yours doesn't, then pack them definitely.
