@SoulTermination I know you just being there is a huge deal to him, and being able to be vulnerable with you! That alone is worth so much... Even though you think you aren't able to comfort him, he's in better shape having you there to hold him and let him fall apart on you. Hugs!
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!
This was me last night, they were getting regular and I thought maybe I should time these. Then, I realized if it was real labor, they would wake me up and then I would start timing them. Slept all night. Still getting a few this morning, we'll see if any show up at my NST later.
Ok ladies, it's almost over for us. DH and I made the call today to have my MIL taken off of dialysis and switched over to comfort care rather than extend her life and suffering any longer. The doctors helped with and fully backed our decision. We made peace with it over the past two weeks, and we know it's the most loving thing we can do for her at this point. She's gone downhill so fast, she won't be more than a few more days with us, and then she'll be with Jesus. No more crying, no more suffering, no more dying there. She'll be at peace.
I have the most irrational fear in the back of my mind that I won't make it to the hospital so of course, I had nightmares all night.
Question for those STM+ awake - did you have similar labors as your mothers?
I'm the only child. Mom was induced and had me within 3 hours, the doctor was shocked. Now everyone in the family is saying it'll be the same for me and I better get to the hospital ASAP as if there's a genetic component involved that I'm unaware of. I ignored them up until recently when the thought creeps into my head. Luckily, I have an appt today to express my craziness.
Sadly, no. My Mom had quick labors and all vaginal deliveries. Everything that could be opposite happens with me.
Trying to have a positive outlook on the day, however they closed a major train station fortwo years which is mmaking my commite miserable. However Sat is my birthday and DH promised to clean the house for me. Best present ever.

The only reason why I got any sleep last night is because I was Benadryl wasted. And my bf had the nerve to try to wake me for sex. Ummmm first of all; don't wake me when I've taken drugs for sleep and second; I already told you we're saving all sexy time for after my shower because then we'll officially be on mission evict baby.
So monday night I only slept for 4 hrs because H got his Vita caught in the nightstand and made a huge ruckus getting it untangled and then I just could not get back to sleep.
I worked an 11 hour day yesterday so I got home, ate and passed out around 8 pm only to have him wake me up at 10 to inform me that our account was overdrawn. I had to get out of bed to go our emergency stash and pull out a 20 for him to deposit. WHY he couldn't do that himself without waking me is beyond me!
He is just lucky that I was able to get back to sleep. I was dead from 10pm until my alarm went off at 6! I feel like a new woman

It is so windy here today! I feel like my house is going to blow away!
I kind of want the power to go out so I don't have to work for the rest of the day.....
DH is pushing for sex to try to induce labor.. I'm just not too excited for this. The last time we DTD it was not very enjoyable for me and the cramping and spotting afterwards stinks! I miss easy, non- pregnant sex...
Urg....Just found out we have to pay a $12,000 lump sum to one of DHs loans. In the long run it's a good thing because the loan will be paid off and we will save a bunch of money on interest plus they forgave a portion, but it's not exactly great timing. Such is life. Just puts more pressure on me to go back to work sooner than later. Hugs to @BiggerinRealLife and @SoulTermination, it's turning out to be a rough week for RRT.
I've decided to try my almost 3 yr old on cloth diapers... We had decided to do CDs with this LO, but I have a decent stash already so I thought why not! Maybe he'll hate it and want to potty train haha.
My big sister was 9 when my mom was pregnant with my twin and I. She was telling us how huge our mom's belly was with us. I was born 6 pounds 7 ounces and my twin was 6 pounds 8 ounces.
My feet are swollen and I feel dizzy. This does not bode well for my drs appoinment this afternoon. If my BP is high again this week the are going to pull me from work. I know this is terrible but I would rather be induced today than be put on bed rest. Cross your fingers that BP is low and I don't have to stop working just yet.

I should've skipped the internal today. I really thought it would make me feel better knowing if I've had any progress. It doesn't. I'm totally cool with LO showing up anytime after Saturday (DH and I have one last romantic date planned). My dr says as we are leaving "see you next week, if not sooner. I bet you'll be surprised". Ummm thanks? How does that help me. Then he says how proud of me he is, how impressed he is. Again, thanks??

Hugs to @SoulTermination as well.
Good luck @jennypenny1014! I will be stalking the bump for an update!!
Hugs @BiggerinRealLife and @SoulTermination
DH and I got in a fight in the middle of the night. I hate staying mad, so I apologized for my part in the fight, but he said nothing. Augh :-w
However Sat is my birthday and DH promised to clean the house for me. Best present ever.
@jennypenny1014 I hope you have a smooth delivery. Get pictures to us ASAP!
