Instead of driving into work this morning, I went straight to the mechanic to have my oil changed and annual inspection completed and totally plan on claiming to have had a doctor's appointment.
H has been weird about spending money lately. He wanted me to hold out until his next paycheck to get my hair cut and buy things I needed for my hospital bag. I instead did those things and put it on my credit card.
I should be walking since it's been nice out in the mornings; but, instead I am bumping prior to going to work where our computer software is down...boo. Gah.
I spent 25 dollars on candy at the gas station yesterday. I was so embarassed that I hid it so DH wouldn't find it, but he did. And he ate my Reese's pumpkin.
Mine is super lame. Usually I side eye women who say they can't trust their DH to run a simple errand BUT I am going to be that woman in Oct 1st. I need this baby to keep her ass put until the mall opens on Oct 1st so I can go pick up my preordered Little Mermaid Bluray and get DD1's Jessie costume for Halloween with the coupon that isn't good until that day. Because Halloween is fucking important and I know DH would buy the wrong size and possibly the wrong costume entirely.
Two of my friends were supposed to come over today to color and cut my hair. One of them has a cold and I'm glad. I'm not up for company right now. Not that it will be any better next week, but still.
I only have two bras that still fit comfortably at this point and will wear both of them SEVERAL times before washing.
Um...how often do you normally wash them? Washing bras often only kills them faster. I always wear my bras several times between washes. Same for my jeans.
My husband and I frequently use the tv as a babysitter for the kids so we can gave sex. We've tried waiting til after their bedtime, but we are too exhausted to want to do anything then. The morning is the only time I have the motivation for sex.

Me three.... And lets just say it has been more than several times in a row for me at this point.
I usually do this. But I sweat so much now, I can usually only wear them 2x before they need to be washed. I don't want to be known as stinky boobs.
Seriously, I'm there too. I have one that fits great, one that's ok. I was walking around the house the other day after running errands, and kept smelling something horrible. I thought DH left dirty clothes somewhere. Then I smelled myself. Laundry was immediately put in.

I have no shame in admitting that I will be using breast feeding to my advantage when it comes to visiting my family vs the ILs. If I don't want to go to the ILs, tough cookies, the baby is coming with me! I know, I'm evil as hell.
Huh? I think there's a missing explanation here somewhere.
I had a couple really strong contractions earlier and got all excited and cleaned the kitchen floor thinking maybe they'd continue. They went away and now all I can do is crawl around (severe sciatica/SPD) when earlier I was able to manage a slow hobble. Serves me right.
Francesca Pearl is here! Josephine Hope is almost 3!

My mom just called me to tell me about a "surprise shower" they are throwing me tomorrow.... I am still expected to act surprised, which I can't do (seriously can't act). I am NOT looking forward to this. I'm pretty sure it's just a way for my mother and sister to be huge AW's.
My reasons for wanting baby to stay in as long as possible (hopefully 40w) are completely selfish. I really want off with baby until after the holidays. I know people at work and probably elsewhere are probably judging me and idgaf. This is the last time I'll get to be selfish in my wishes for a long time.
Also hoping to make it to at least 39 weeks so I can get one last Brazilian and pedicure, and maybe use my GC to Massage Envy for a prenatal massage. I am probably unnecessarily afraid one or all 3 of these things could put me into labor.
DH is very concerned about me eating only what I'm supposed to meaning that because the Dr. said that Starbucks has too much caffeine, that I'm not allowed to have any. (I admit, I was super strict in the beginning) But now that I have trouble sleeping, I need the caffeine to get me through the day. I bought creamer and stash it at work and fill up my mug there instead of at home.

My water broke on the massage table at 40+3 right after the masseur finished massaging my webbing (the spot between thumb and forefinger)-- a known labor inducing pressure point.
But...being late already, I specifically asked her to touch on every known labor inducing pressure point. Getting one before 39 weeks, the masseur should know what spots to avoid. A massage in and of itself won't put you into labor.
I secretly ate a cookie for breakfast while my daughter ate cereal. My cookies! My husband bought a box of 12 assorted cookies and she's had none. He's had one. And there may be less than half of them left.

I think I'm most afraid of the Brazilian putting me into labor. Idk why. I just feel like with all the extra blood flow to that area... Probably stupid! But I'm waiting until 39 weeks nonetheless.
Funny your water broke on the table. That's good to know if any of us do go late! (I'm sure there will be more than a few.)

@gwyneddlesliegrace - you are one of the last people I expected to "love it" this! Or will the baby be in a wrap while doing it?

I sometimes drink more coffee than the doctor-sanctioned "2 eight ounce cups a day." Can't make it through the day without it, but I still feel a little guilty.
I actually remembered mine for once: I miss the fuck out of smoking cigarettes. Like, it sucks. I would actually kill someone to be able to sit outside right now in the cool weather, with a coffee and a pack of cigarettes.
I suppose the craving is all psychological, but dammit, it's still there. I promised my BF last year I would quit, and didn't until I got pregnant. I felt like a shitbag for not keeping my word to him sooner.
And I don't like the idea that any of Jr's clothes would smell like smoke, and where I did promise my boyfriend, I probably won't be getting that coffee and cigarette after either. Sad, discontented sigh :-<
Omg, there is a discontented sigh emoticon!!!!!
I totally know what you mean. I quit in late December and switched to the e-cig before finding out I was pregnant, but I still get that nostalgic twinge on a rainy, cool day where I just want to sit outside and relax with a cup of coffee and a cigarette. I think with fall coming it makes that feeling worse.

Totally with you. I want to be at least 39w3d so that we can get thru my sister's wedding. Yes I know it's not the end of the world if he comes before that but things would just be so much easier if I'm still pregnant. The stupid dress will fit and - most importantly - I wont have to hear her tell my kid for the rest of his life that he ruined the most special day of her life . . .
Once the wedding is over, technically, I don't care. But I'd love to go to at least 41 weeks (Oct 17) or even later so that I can still be off at Christmas. I know, selfish. I don't care.

Big time. And the e-cig just never really did it for me. Grrrr. I feel like I have to treat myself to at least one smoke and coffee after Jr is born. It's only fair.
It will probably be the worst thing you have ever tasted after all this time!
The e-cig took a while to work for me and it was only after I found some really good flavors that it stuck. Mmmm vanilla caramel cookies... I deft going back to the e-cig after this baby, maybe even with 0mg of nicotine LOL

...I'm down to one and can't remember the last time I washed it.
