I went grocery shopping yesterday and realized when I got to the check-out that there was not a single fresh fruit or vegetable in my cart. Frozen, yes. Fresh, no. I justified it by saying to myself that it didn't make sense to buy fresh when I might end up in the hospital any day and it would all spoil at home, but really I realized it's because all of my meal plans revolve around me spending as little time on my feet chopping things in the kitchen as possible because I'm so achy and tired.
Any other confessions even though it's not yet Friday?
Re: Tuesday confession
I actually prefer frozen fruits and veggies in the winter, as well as the stuff I can from my garden. They say that frozen stuff has more nutrients because it was picked at the peak of ripeness and frozen. The produce you buy in the grocery store in the winter was usually picked before it ripens and shipped from warmer climates, sprayed to artificially ripen, and then put on the shelves. So technically, you're probably making a better nutritional choice buying the frozen
We went grocery shopping yesterday and the only fresh stuff I bought was some lettuce and strawberries. The rest was all frozen. I live in Ohio though. If I lived somewhere warmer I where things actually grow in the ground right now I'd buy more fresh.
Hi, are you me? I could have written this word for word (almost, I haven't had any checks so I have no clue if I'm dilated yet). I am going with a birth center this time and my whole family thinks I'm nuts. I'm thinking it will be my luck to go all the way to 42 weeks and end up with c-section and the naysayers will be right. And I will be devastated with PPD.
DS came at 40 wks, 2 days, so I did not expect to still be pregnant today. Wah!
I get this overwhelming panicky feeling come over me when someone in our family talks about how excited they are for LO to come and hold him, snuggle him, kiss on him, etc.
Don't get me wrong, I'm so happy they're excited and I can't wait to see them with him....but I have this "momma bear" thing come over me where I think "no, it's my baby! Nobody can have him but me!"
It's been me and him for 9 months now and I just can't imagine him not being right by me and with somebody else, on the other side of the room.
I feel like a jerk but I know it's completely normal.
I'm such a horrible DIL...
MIL called DH yesterday and told him that the heat was out in most of their house with the exception of their "den" (garage converted into a den that has a separate heating system). She didn't ask to stay with us and as best as DH could tell, she wasn't fishing for an invitation either. Spending time with my ILs on my best day is... challenging.
At 37 weeks pregnant, itching like crazy, hands that are killing me and not being able to sleep well... you get the idea.
I hit Taco Bell drive thru on the way home from work last night, and then STILL went home and ate dinner....
I must be stopped!
Oh another one.... Yesterday DD was in the bathroom with me as I did my makeup, she went giggling out of the room saying "bobble bobble bobble" ( bottle) so I was thankfully curious what this was about, I find her laying in my bed, about to drink from my pp water bottle that I use when I pee.
And a few nights before, I found her drinking fil coffee from the trash.

LOL!
I am also getting a little irritated at peanut's lack of arrival but I still have some time to go so I guess I should just quit it! I'm also starting to forcibly refrain myself from telling my mother that it's MY baby, not HER grand-baby (which I'm sure many others have had to do)!
I started keeping green smoothies in the fridge given my overall lack of anything produce-like in my diet up until a few weeks ago. Now, all I want is oranges and cantaloupe!
I am heating up a frozen french bread pizza for breakfast. And will wash that down with some cookies.
It is my due date. I have no signs of imminent labor. And I am going on week 12 of PUPPPs rash. I am going to try not to lose my sh*t on anyone today, but I make no promises.
I like cookies.
I am the same way! I already don't want to share lol
I feel ya....I'm glad that she stayed in since I had a cerclage, but now it's like hello, you can come out now! I have to be induced Friday if she doesn't come by then and I really don't want that. And according to the u/s she's already a pretty good size so I'm getting a little worried, even though I'm planning on getting an epidural.

Yeah, I'm with you two ladies!
I'm with both of you other than I'm a FTM. 41 weeks is PLENTY OF TIME IN UTERO! GTFO already kid! I really wanted to go 100% med/intervention free, but I'm soooooooo done with being pg. Induction set up for Friday. Hoping baby arrives before then, but not terribly optimistic.
