Four hrs with no posts? Are people actually sleeping!?! No fair!

I feel like today is going to be a cranky day. Grrrrrr!

SoulTermination

37w2d and I think I've officially hit my wall.  Over the SPD, over the cankles and swollen feet, over the GD with the dietary restrictions and the finger-pricking and the insulin shots actually hurting now, over feeling like I'm the Goodyear blimp's fatter sibling, over the peeing every five minutes, over the inability to sleep and subsequent lack of energy to do anything.  My hospital bag's only half packed, and I don't even fucking care.  I'm just done.  I want her out already!  @-)

You paid $200 for a pair of maternity jeans??!! Holy shit. I wouldn't spend that on regular jeans. Apparently, this confirms I am a cheap ass.

I used to spend that much on jeans (never maternity!) but, I mine always ripped. If I spend around 80$ on a pair of jeans, they last much longer for me. Not sure why. Makes me a bit sad. Will I ever wear normal jeans again?

Also, just did 45 minutes of cleaning and I am DEAD! Still need to vacuum! (And I'm really only in one room!)

24 he urine catch today. Joy

Tferr02

I'm officially over pregnancy. He can come today please. Today would be the best day actually because it'd give my DH the most time with LO and give me the most time to recover while my best friend is here to help with DS. But I have absolutely no signs that he's even thinking about coming out.

Anyone have advice on how to ease inner thigh pain? Laying in the tub helped while I was in it, but moving is ridiculous.

@ksecomb17  Can you get in the water again and stretch them? Also, rubbing arnica oil on it helps me, and then not massaging it but shaking the muscles with my hands helps is less painful if they are really tight. I think with inner thighs now, it seems like they need to be stretched all the time. Otherwise I get really tight and its really painful. Its one of the things I use my ball for. I kind of sit spread eagle as much as possible and bounce lightly. Its definitely NOT hot, but, it works to loosen it up.

Pregsomnia and heartburn. Oh and my feet are so dry they itch and hurt.
I could cry.

Eta: I can't reach my feet to fix my problem.

tamaraaaa

Yeah I'm getting to that point where I'm completely miserable... I'm as big as a house and want to cry all the time. We drove to dinner last night and between the bumps and kicking in my ribs, I've decided I'm never driving anywhere after I'm done working next week. I feel like knowing tomorrow is worse than today and it'll be worse everyday from here on out is putting me into a depressing funk...

I looked on Netflix and it is not there. Maybe you can get the DVD through them, but it's not available for streaming as far as I can see.

It might just be available via Amazon now if you want to stream it. I started to buy the DVD, but I figured it would be more portable by being able to watch it on my tablet. 

Amazon instant video has it, but for 9.99. I was hoping that with both a Netflix and Amazon Prime account we might be able to stream it for free. No luck. Oh well. I'll probably pay the $10 anyways. I read the book, but want to watch the video (especially since I can't get DH to read things).

ETA: I searched their site and it looks like Netflix does have it on DVD, just not streaming. Gotta wait for DH to wake up and tell me if we have DVD subscription from them of just streaming now...

I started reading it! I should finish it. Now, if I can just find a dvd service or it streaming internationally! :-D It was actually quite an enjoyable read!

Hugs for everyone that is uncomfortable, in pain, and just not sleeping. 

I'm in so much pain, BH's are more intense than ever and I can't walk with out getting them and the shooting pain they cause to my pelvis and cervix practically has me falling to my knees.

WINTER SUCKS!

It sucks even more when it's during spring.

Hugs to you too @thomas930!!

DH is making breakfast, so Naturally the smoke detectors are going off. Cracker Barrel it is!

sking72

I had ice cream after church. Gonna be a great day.

Xxlilies

I have IHOP envy
And a snoring bull dog on my lap
And I need to get groceries . Ugh big first world problems over here

Emily041285

DH and I agreed we'd sleep in today as late as possible. Of course that means 8:30 for me and probably 11 for him. I really wanted him to get up first so I didn't have to make breakfast but that doesn't look like it's happening

Themaritimemama

Waaaah. Despite our best efforts (getting new carseats) we can't comfortably fit 3 kids in our SUV... We have to get a mini van. Which isn't so sucky, except we're down to the wire with time, and finding one that's right for us is going to be tricky!

kseccomb17

Thanks guys. I may need to break down and buy a ball. I've been avoiding it because I don't know where to put it. You all speak so highly of it that it's probably worth it!

kseccomb17

38 weeks today! It was my personal goal to get this far. I'd be okay if he came now, but cooking longer is cool too. I can't believe how fast it's gone!

Oh boy, Dani, that's such a bummer.    I've bruised my tailbone before, and it's bad enough; I sure hope yours isn't cracked!  Are you going to get it checked out?

I probably should but no...I'll just see how I'm feeling in a couple days. Nothing they can do for a cracked tailbone anyway, so I'd rather not sit in a waiting room for 3 hours for them to tell me there's nothing they can do. Haha

Just make sure you tell them at your next appointment. Nothing they can do, but, they should know before you deliver. :-) I highly recommend one of those donut things in the meantime to take the pressure off. Bruised/cracked tailbones SUCK!

Stace0616

Heading off to a wedding shower brunch at the grooms' apartment which has very little seating. I am NOT afraid to pull the pregnancy card to have a comfortable place to sit!

11 hours of sleep!!!!!! Woah!

\:D/

dani+california said:

So I was all 'let's have this baby ASAP' until yesterday when I fell hard on ice. Now my tailbone is either super bruised or cracked...and pushing a baby out under these circumstances sans meds probably wouldn't be too much fun. Sooooo this baby can just wait a little longer. :-\"

that's what you get for wearing heels hehe i keed i keed! hope your bum feels better soon!

Sisimama10

My skin is crawling. Like my entire body feels itchy and annoyed and just horrible. I am super crabby from it! I already tried rubbing lotion all over, but it feels like I'm itchy on the inside. Blahhhh

@danny+California
How was sushi night? Any narky comments??

I'm so sick of visitors!!! Everyone over stays their welcome and steals my baby for hours at a time. My MIL is the only one who came over and started cleaning and helping around the house. She kissed the baby and told me to rest and she would do the house work!
Bless her!!! I'm embarrassed at the state of my house be too tired to clean it for the visitors!

Also, no one is bringing me Thin Mints (

Ugh... I'm sorry people are over- staying their welcome...

I'm really nervous about this happening after LO arrives. DH's extended family is huge and they are already talking about coming over to see the baby.

Both of you put your freaking feet down.
@Mamamonzo‌ - take the baby to nurse/feed, have DH put him to sleep (or whatever your routine is) and say ok "thanks so much for coming by, but it's nap time for everyone, so we'll see you again soon." While holding the front door open for emphasis.

I did decline all visits today! When asked why I said "because we don't want visitors" it seemed to offend my friend. Look at all the fucks I give......

DH talked me into going with him to get shorts. The man only wears a certain kind/color. Not sure why this has to include me since he knows exactly what to look for....this means my plan of not showering and laying around all day is ruined. Currently trying to decide what he has to do to make it up to me.

@Mamamonzo‌ how are your kitties taking to the baby

Day one we had some hissing and general curiosity. Slowly each cat has found their place with Luke. One sits with me while I nurse, one lays by his swing when he is in it, and one sits next to him while we change him. They are doing really well!

twinklemoon

Yikes! Ladies ...500 and + missed threads by me= but, congrats on reaching 1,000.

I have finally washed all babies clothes and set up his area.

I also slept 5 hours straight. I could not believe it.

Anyway, carry on....

Oh no, that sounds so painful!

MrsL13

DH's, DD's, and my birthday all fall on the same day of the week. This year its Tuesday, so DH thinks LO will be here Tuesday. I really hope she does. But if we are going by things we all have in common, the 3 of us were also late. Buh

I fell walking my dog in big hiking boots! I can somehow manage heels but not flat boots...I am not a bright woman

haha sounds like me! I trip over my bare feet sometimes.
(hopefully you'll just be a little sore today and nothing more so baby can come out without extra pain on your part! take a nice warm bath sit on a towel while you're in there to aliviate some pressure.

Last night I was informed that I'm done having babies by DH's grandma. Meanwhile, the woman had 4 freaking kids. STFU.
She also kept stroking my sides saying that her girls always carried on their sides and had girls, so I must be having another boy. Nevermind that those genetics are irrelevant to MY body, but she has 4 grandsons. 0_o And also, stop fucking touching me!

Trying to get her out of the house before we leave for the hockey game because otherwise she will try and stay and "babysit", which will be a DISASTER. Last time she woke him up way too early from the nap by looking for a nail file in the room he was sleeping in. 0_o

Ugh. Vent over. Thanks ladies.

My blood pressure just rose from reading this. I am so sorry. FX!

Bees Everywhere

Everything is getting on my nerves today. Really wish I could feel like some progress was happening with baby dropping or something but nothing. SIck of the cold weather and DH's family is being annoying. DS is being adorable, however. 

katieharpiceland

@KatieGummow I thought of you yesterday! My friend who threw us our shower-ish party, she has 14 year old twin girls. She said she was DONE at 35 weeks so they induced her. Back in the day, right? (There was also something about low fluid...)

Then her husband informed us that he was a month late. In fact, he said his mom was 4 weeks late with all of her kids. LOL. COULD.NOT.IMAGINE!!! (They totally don't allow that here anymore.)

mrscrcalli

Waiting outside the breakfast place and a woman walked out and looked at my belly and said....

"Absolutely beautiful"

I got teary eyed. I know it sucks right now and I'm so uncomfortable but she's right what we are doing IS absolutely beautiful :x

RocksInTheWater

I have the loudest gurgling sounds coming out of my belly under my right ribs.  WEIRD!  Is it my baby talking??
