Good luck at your appointment @irisheyez7‌

The labor guessing game is really getting old over here...Come on LO- get some new tricks

Hey everyone in the world:
Yes, I know it's my due date

No, this baby is not arriving today

Fantastic that your "bright side" to this hellacious heartburn is that my kid will have lots of hair- I give zero fucks.

And if you ask me again if the baby is here yet I will stab you with a spoon.

I can't sleep, I feel like shit, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

I cannot even begin to explain how over this shit I am.

I'm feeling a little crampy. I just popped some buffalo wings in the oven so if this is labor I hope I get to at least have my wings first

How many questions can a 2.5 year old ask in a day? The answer is infinity times a million.

It used to be cute and I loved explaining things to him but now every time I hear "what's that, what's he doing, why, how come" my skin crawls and all I want to do is scream. So far I've been able to hide my frustration but DS has figured out the incessant "why's" get on my nerves and now uses it when he is mad at me or he is in trouble. Awesome.

I feel like such a bitch for just hoping DS will stop talking and just look cute.

Hey everyone! Will post a birth story soon. Totally accidentally bailed on my awesome labor buddy because, @suzanneolav I was SURE I would be sent home the first time I went. Oops. 

Welcome baby boy Pedersen. Name TBD.

My solution to extreme irritability and a toddler with more energy than I can take right now.

Only y'all understand my excitement when I gush, "Ohmygosh I'll be getting my Medela Pump in Style any day now, and I paid nothing out of pocket thanks to my insurance provider!" I tried telling my non-mom friends and they think I'm crazy. 8-}

Ditto! Got it free with insurance because of the ACA and I'm so excited about it I keep talking about it. Can't wait for it to arrive, hope it comes before engorgement sets in.

omg congrats @poru and @fourthnlast and everyone else who had their babies while I've been away! I need to catch up- so exciting!!

Does anyone use Schwans for food delivery? I honestly didn't realize they were still around and always thought they were expensive. Turns out they're pretty reasonably priced, but I'm wondering if anyone knows about the quality?
The salesman just came by and dropped off a brochure, and I'm thinking it might be super helpful for when I run out of freezer meals and don't want to eat take out every night.

Their stuff is tasty (especially desserts!!) and if you are choosy about what you get from there vs. the grocery store it can be worth it.

For those of us who don't stray much out of RTT, one of our own RTT sisters @snmetz7 is being admitted tonight to start Cervadil due to a blip in her latest NST! Please think of her and wish her good luck as she waits to start the process to meet her rainbow baby! Will post updates in her thread on the main board as I get them.  :x

Got nursing bras that actually fit (heaven!) in the mail today. Also got a couple baby gifts in the mail, and yesterday I got my breast pump.  It feels like Christmas!

I need to get one of these that is large enough that DS can't get out.

I wanted to add, my almost 3 year old is doing the same "Why, why, why." thing and it is driving me nuts.  Eventually I just stop answering.

My dog, the asshole.
Thanks for eating my last two pieces of pizza jerk face. And give me back my sock!!!!

Morning (afternoon/evening?? hehe) everyone!

About to go to my last MW appt before DD, wonder if I can convince her to do a sweep even though I've technically got 4 days... 

No lasting damage from yesterdays tumble, and LO has been very active this morning. I think she just wanted to give mummy a scare by not moving right away - definitely her daddys daughter (stubborn!!!!)

fireflygirl12

@fourthnlast - LOVE her!

deidremaria

Really bf! Worst possible time to be catching a cold

Cancelled my wax after having contractions 3-5 minutes all morning. Went to my 39 week OB appointment, still a 3, so still nothing exciting going on. I guess I'll just sit here contracting with my fuzzy ladybits.

I keep freaking biting my nails, and then getting mad at myself. It's almost a subconscious thing, I don't realize until it's over. And then I'm a sad panda. DS looks ADORABLE in his new khaki cargo shorts and cute shirt. I think I'm going to let him go run around outside and maybe do some gardening in the front beds. It looks pretty nice outside.

Spring/summer clothes for little boys are my favorite!

Dear creator of ranch dressing, I seriously don't know where I'd be in life without this stuff. Thank you.

Do you think aveno baby lotion is ok to put on Luke's face? I have a rule that I never put regular lotion on my face, so I've been following the same rule for him. He has such dry skin though!

@mamamonzo - I use coconut oil or CJ's BUTTer for everything. CJ's is my favorite and you can order sample sizes to see which scents you like on Diaper Safari with free shipping

Congrats @katieharpiceland!!

I made the mistake of posting that to my Facebook a week and a half ago - which apparently made everyone think it was even funnier to ask me.

deidremaria

@pineconey‌ yesterday was my EDD and my response to anyone who called or text asking about labor (my mom, sisters and SIL) was that I'd call them when I am. Today, I ignored everyone's calls/texts because I refuse to answer the same questions over and over.

@pineconey‌ Hugs for the heartburn, it is the worst. My bright side to that shit is that I drink strawberry milk everyday with zero shame.

Milk is my best friend!

So sorry @colleenswerb =(. She's a gorgeous girl!

Tiger has cancer. It's one of the "better" ones that won't spread to other organs or tissue or blood, but it can invade the nearby bone. So the only thing that we could really do to try and be aggressive with it would be another surgery, much bigger, that would actually remove teeth and part of her jaw/mandible. So yea. We just have to keep an eye on it I guess. I'm glad to know what we're dealing with at least. A gf said her dog had the same thing when he was younger and when they removed the mass they got all of it and it never came back. So there's definitely hope. Just makes me a little sad for her, you know?

Im so sorry to hear that.  I lost the most special dog to cancer last year.  She had several surgeries and we thought we had it beat but ultimately it came back and took her from us in the end.  The hardest part was to make the decision to put her down as soon as she told us she was in pain and ready, but I feel like we honored her over our own selfish need to keep her around because of how hard it was to live without her.

I sincerely hope your dog does beat it and get a shot at a longer happy life.

That sucks @colleenswerb. At least you know what is going on now but I wish it was better news.

@ColleenSwerb I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. She is a beauty and I hope everything goes okay for her and your family during her care.

@ColleenSwerb‌ I am so sorry to hear this news. What a sweet baby though! Such an attractive pup!

knotty-girl

Not gonna lie. Cried a bit. Some for Tiger, some for Domino.

eireyes

I'm sorry @ColleenSwerb‌. I'm glad to hear it could be gone - she looks like a great dog!

scarles

So sorry @ColleenSwerb‌! I hope it stays away. What a sweet pup!

I've got a sweet baby on my chest, a glass of wine and a king size candy bar. Life is good :-)

10 days from now, I'll be traveling 10 hours to AL to visit DH family. In 26 days, I'll be moving 11 hours away to FL without DH for 4 months. I'm not ready for all this!!

Where in FL? Move near me!
(Panhandle, nearish to Pensacola)

I'm moving down to a small town between Tampa and Fort Myers. It's my hometown

Sorry about Tigers diagnosis @ColleenSwerb‌ but its good to hear the prognosis is good!

Hoping you get tons more quality time with that sweet pup, @ColleenSwerb‌! Glad to hear that she's in the clear for now, fingers crossed it stays away!
