There is some sort of repair man outside of my bedroom window, engaged in loud conversation, hammering some unknown object.
So help me, if that kind of thing happens with a newborn in this house, I will rage someone's face off...

You think that's bad? Our landscapers come at like 6 o'clock on Saturday or Sunday mornings to cut the grass with loud ass equipment. I had to tell my bf to talk to the landlord before baby gets here because if I have to talk to him I'm sure I'd be the psycho pregnant chick who gets us evicted

Yep

Oh yeah! I successfully backed the trailer up into the driveway on my first attempt! I'm the man!

Is it bad that I'm staying at my parents house while DH moves everything? DSD goes to school an hour away and so for the past seven months I've been in the car pretty much everyday for about five hours when you count the heavy traffic. So finally we are moving closer. (It's a great school and we want both kids to go there. So putting her in a different school wasn't really an option.) Plus for the past two months it has just been DSD and me at the house and he moved in with his father. His reasoning, so he will be closer to work. So I figured since I did all of that, plus being 37 weeks pregnant I'll play the "I'm way too pregnant to move anything" card. Shame on me?

TP to DH who said we could go out for lunch at 11... Then 12.... Then 2.... Now he has two more proposals to do and we can go (it's 4:11).

We did have some window guys come out and give us a quote for new Anderson windows! If we commit today it is only $31k! Yeaaahhh....

@littlelady77, do you not have a skipolini's pizza by you? If not I will seriously get you a preggo pizza and drive it down to you tomorrow.

I can freeze you some slices and sent it to you!!!

Got a major delivery of baby stuff today!! The only thing left is the bathtub that should arrive tomorrow! I updated my registry to add a few not as immediate necessities for some last minute relatives, but we are ready for this little guy!! Well except for the new washer and dryer were trying to scrape together enough money for in the next couple of weeks so I don't have to live at my in-laws doing laundry.

We need to get our dryer too. I've been living without one for 8 years, but, I think with baby clothes it might be better to have one. Still...most people don't have them here. We don't even have a built in vent. We just have to vent it out the window in our laundry room, just like those who do have them do.

Is that possible?! That would be amazing!

I don't know! Freeze it first and box it up with ice packs? If it is thawed you could just toss it... Is that sanitary??

Send it on dry ice! My mom used to send pizza to us in college from our favorite place. They packaged it up and everything!

The idea of having sex to cause your cervix to soften or to bring on labor, are you supposed to do it often or is 2-3 times good enough? I don't want to commit if I am going to have to do it everyday....
This was shared on our RTT Facebook page. Might answer that question.... https://www.hypnobirthingutah.com/how-to-induce-labor-naturally-learn-the-ropes/
OMG, just read the Cervidil component part... Pig semen?! I know we use pig parts for replacements and surgeries, but the thought of pig sperm against my cervix is... just, no. ETA: absolutely no offense intended to those who have used it or will use it. Just something I never knew.

LOL time to stock up! Get thee to a pig farm and get to work :-) (I think its safe to say not many of us will be using pig semen to induce labor) :-D

I've been having irregular contractions all day. Every time I get one I'm all 'yeeeeee it's happening!' followed by a subsequent 'aw.' when they fade away for a while.

Come to me my baby friend! I'm ready for you!

Same here. So annoying!

DH and I had the final walk-through of our new house today before we close later this week. The seller left us the keys and said it was all ours. Once DH and I were all alone, we totally did it in our new bedroom (which technically isn't ours for 2 more days). Best sex I've had in 8 1/2 months. Woohoo!

pineconey · March 2014

It's DH's night to cook. Stir fry- easy enough. The steak is already prepped. He gets home a bit late and when I remind him it's his turn to cook he asks if he can have 15 minutes of free time first. Yeah, you can have 15 minutes freely cooking dinner. I normally wouldn't mind, but foods need to be happening up in here. Like now.

I think he's retaliating because he is in the bathroom now. He's going to spend 15 minutes in there playing on his phone I bet.

This evening is not off to a good start.

Just had my weekly appointment and I am very annoyed. They were behind so I ended up waiting in the exam room (with no pants on btw) for 45 minutes. DH was with me and just complained the whole time which added to my stress and annoyance level. When my doctor finally came in, she took about 5 mins with me and barely answered my questions. She is not usually like this in my appointments, and I get that maybe she was having a bad day, but it just really got on my nerves. She also told me that she's on vacation next week--- my due date is next Tuesday.... Great... And my feet are super swollen and LO is showing no signs of coming out anytime soon. I was so frustrated after my appointment, I cried the whole way home.....UGH

@danamarie421 Where do you live? Seriously, I have the exact same experience with my doctor at my clinic and she is also going to be on vacation next week and I'm due next Thursday. Sounds all very similar...

Putting in my order to have LO come next Tuesday. 4/1/14 is a cool birthdate. 4/4/14 can be second choice. My bday is 8/4/85 so I want LO to have a fun one too.

These are the dates I'm going for too! My EDD is 4/3 so it's totally possible. Your bday is awesome.

thomas930 · March 2014

RocksInTheWater · March 2014

@ImnAtari I can't wait to see pictures of baby Alice! I'm so glad that everything went well! Hope your vag feels better soon.

This board is just exploding every time I turn around. Hopefully everything is going well for everyone, not even going to try and read the thousand posts (maybe that should have been what I did to entertain myself last night when DD refused to go to sleep).

Brought DD to the pediatrician today because she was looking yellow, had to get lab work done, but the dr wasn't too worried. Received a call right after I got back home that I need to go back tomorrow and redo lab work, her bilirubin levels are "significantly elevated" and they need to re-check in the morning. May need to do the phototherapy, but I wont know until tomorrow. I know this isn't anything to get to worked up over, but I'm still upset because I can't fix it. At least everything else is looking good for baby girl.

Hang in there Mama, jaundice can be very frustrating. Hopefully her bili levels come down quickly. Try to feed often because the more she poops the faster the bilirubin will leave her system.

Both my kiddos had pretty bad jaundice and phototherepy....I'm not looking foward to dealing with it again.

Ok, so it's not the same person (I'm in MN) but our doctors are OB twins.

@LoriMc12‌ I'm sorry you're dealing with this frustration too!

Eija3014 · March 2014

@ImnAtari‌ yayyyyy!!! Congratulations!

@Mamamonzo‌'s baby picture gif a while back reminded me that my SO told me, "I don't get why people take pictures of babies on the floor with a flower on their heads."

) His whole world is about to be turned upside down!

Stace0616 · March 2014

I think I'm reaching the point in pregnancy where I can no longer bend over. Just ugly cried trying to gather laundry off the floor because both my back and belly hurt so badly. DH is going to have to be our laundry person for the forseeable future. I'm buttering him up by suggesting we watch one of his French foreign films tonight over the homemade strawberries and angel food cake I made. And then tomorrow? Time for him to clean and do laundry before our house party.

Last drug story: In college I was an EMT and helped out during basic training. One cadet had been injured and given a bunch or prescription painkillers with a schedule to follow for taking them. Like Percoset, then X hours later Vicodin, then Motrin, then whatever other drugs they gave him. Clearly, he didn't understand the schedule and thought it was one of each every X-hours. After the first does he took of one of each we got called because he had passed out and his cadre didn't know why. We figured it out pretty quickly and just hoped he didn't die before the ambulance was able to reach us. He ended up getting his stomach pumped, but lived and even returned to complete the training.

People who had been injured badly enough to need multiple scripts like this always scared me a little bit when I worked as a pharmacy technician for this very reason. I always tried my hardest to make sure they had someone to be with them or at least alert them by text or something when it was time to take their next medicine, because when you're in a lot of pain and then fuzzed out by drugs, it can be difficult to keep track. =/

@pineconey's comment the other day about your vagina hanging to your knees for not doing kegels really has me nervous.

Put me in the boat. I would love to get it on but when I come near DH he gets a scared look on his face and starts making a million excuses.

eireyes · March 2014

((Hugs)) @kcp913‌ - hopefully it'll be a quick visit tomorrow! I'm fully expecting Peanut to have jaundice issues since both DH and I had them as infants, and apparently it's genetic...

I'm jealous of those of you having sex - I'm not sure I even know what that is anymore! It's not for lack of wanting to, I just keep getting sick lately!

And finally, for an awesome cap on the evening, DH and I are in bed and HAGHK HAGHK HAGHK bleurch - the cat threw up on the carpet, and then ran under the bed and threw up there too... Thanks butthead. At least I have the excuse of not fitting under the bed right now!
