Random thread- for all things random.

Since I don't know that anyone can "help" me on this but the stress is overloading my brain, I'm going to write about it here.

I go to Doc because significantly lower movement. All tests and fluid show things are fine. While in w Doctor before test results, he does a manual exam stating I'm dilated one finger tip but it seems the scar tissue on my cervix is preventing me from dilating completely. [Que emergency phone call] Doctor leaves for an ER delivery while the nurse tells me test results are "fine" and she doesn't know the answers to my questions about the scar tissue preventing dilation. She suggests me making a list to ask him when I see him in a week. So Google says a c/s is the answer. More Google research says it's possible for doctors to stretch the scar tissue or even cut it. I have a scarring issue where I keloid very badly. For example: a dime size scar from a mole has grown into a baseball size, raised and lumpy scar that requires monthly injections for pain and growth prevention. I am so stressed that he's going to do a c/s instead of the other possible options and I'll have yet another giant painful scar across my stomach. It would prevent me wearing pants/shorts or anything the rubs the scar. Obviously, I want a healthy baby so that trumps all, but my heart hurts just thinking about what might go down.

To take matters into my own hands, last night I used a long, skinny vibrator to try to stretch/massage the scar tissue myself. Crazy... Maybe.

I'm being weird & over thinking what to wear to my DR's appointment on Friday. I have my GBS test so my lady parts will be on display for a bit plus it's eleventy billion degrees outside with a million percent humidity. I am killing way to many brain cells trying to decide what would be most comfortable & efficient.

DH and I were talking about what days work to go interview a pediatrician and he said he couldn't do tomorrow morning. I asked why his response was...USA game is in the morning. Priorities!

Last week when scheduling my next visit at the drs, DH made sure to remind me the USA game was at noon so we should schedule either early in the am or after the game. On Sunday I had contractions for the first time, but his first question wasn't do they hurt or how far apart are they, it was "do you think we will have time to watch the USA game first"? Gotta love them. I think he's just happy I won't be pregnant anymore for college football season

We deliberately planned my pregnancies around college football...

I'm feeling super snarky today and our board is filled with adorable babies and sympton threads.

So for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to try and give our 100lb lab a bath all by myself today. That was a dumbass move on part

This one wasn't technically planned around college football, but getting pregnant in October, it was nice only being pregnant towards the end of the season. DH and I both went to FSU though, and what I wouldn't have given to drink during the national title game! Guess you can't plan around everything lol

@symphony4586 Should I go in there and pretend to be super religious and talk about how using sex toys is the equivalent of cheating on your spouse and if they didn't have it back when Jesus was around, you shouldn't use it at all?

Highly doubt it will work, but it was fun looking up scripture about masturbation.

@Soon2BeMrsN, we don't have Trader Joe's here.   If I did, I'd be there every paycheck stocking up on ALL THE SNACKS. We just have boring regular old grocery stores, blah.

And from a page or two back, not since DS has been born have I ever felt one ounce guilty sleeping while DH is at work. He gets to pee/poop in peace, have adult conversation, and eat lunch relatively uninterrupted. It's a fair trade-off in my book. I just wish DS still napped so I actually could get a decent nap in occasionally.  (

@Emilyfae awesome work! I finally got to see the fun because I was distracted by the fact our nursery is finally getting painted today!

Hey, thanks. I will always remember being told I wasn't "holier than thou" because I only do it missionary.

ETA: post pics of the nursery! Exciting!

We're about to put the second coat of the actual color on the accent wall tonight, but the other 3 walls should be done by tomorrow afternoon! I'm looking forward to when they're all dry and we can get our decals and all the other fun stuff up!

Ok, so I know I'm on mat leave already and shouldn't think about work, but I cant help but to recommend that you wait until the paint fully cures before you put the decals up.  Otherwise, you might pull paint off when you move the decals around or remove them later on.  Nerdy paint store manager, signing off now.  

ETA: It usually takes about 2 weeks for latex/water-based paint to fully cure, but if you're in a rush, 7 days is probably ok.

Anyone else feel extremely fatigued? I admit I have had my bouts of being tired and wanting to nap every now and then throughout pregnancy but never do I just feel like passing out and sleeping all day. That's essentially how I have felt all day and even now I can barely keep my eyes open and am just generally uncomfortable, not just the typical pregnancy discomfort I'm used to. I don't know it just feels weird. I haven't even done ANYTHING today to make me feel so exhausted.

I love my boss. She leaves me alone when I am doing right. She has my back when I need exec level support. She gives me insight when I need it (and constructive criticism when I need it). I used to think she didn't like me. Now I realize she trusts me so much that's why she leaves me alone.

So I feel like an idiot. I was informed at my Dr appointment today that what I had always assumed was baby moving was actually a contraction (BH, but still). This is why I'm scared I won't notice labor.

I think I'm like that too. My OB asks me if I'm having contractions and I'm just kind of like, "I dunno..." and shrug my shoulders.

Ditto. OB was like, "any contractions today?" I shrugged. "Have you had any contractions at all?" "Uh...maybe? I don't know!" Then of course I went on a hike today and had some actual timeable DEFINITE contractions- I think. Or else I have to poop.

Oh well, hopefully I'll notice when there's a baby head poking out of my hoo ha.

I was completely fine and not hormonal this entire pregnancy, until the last few days. Now I think they are all catching up with me at once and I'm a fucking mess of anger, tears, guilt and frustration.

This! I find myself wanting to cry daily now! Over anything really. So abnormal for how it was before.

I'm not allowed to eat or drink after midnight, but they don't have my c/s scheduled until 11:30. I'm already trying to figure out how I'm going to make it that long without even a sip of water. It's going to be a LONG next 11+ hours for me......

Guise... I found a good stand-in for our squishies, until they arrive.....

Go find one immediately, take a deep sniff (comparable to that new baby smell) place on lap and snuggle for at least 20 minutes.

This chunker likes long walks on the beach, baby talk and kisses.

So cute!!! I love puppies! And I should also admit I love puppy breath as well. Not sure why.

We almost got a kitten, had planned for it all along in the pregnancy but ..... yeah. It's a lot to take on and I have issues keeping my cat out of everything LO related. She is obsessed with the Nursery, sleeps in his P&P, car seat, stroller, crib, changing pad, on his glider. Oy. Couldn't handle it.

Kind of related to this, I had a little adventure today - my DH called me saying there was a sweet, skinny black and white kitten by itself in the HEB parking lot following him around, but he had to go in to work (talk about wreaking havoc on my emotions!). I took it to the vet to see if it was microchipped, but it wasn't, so I gave it some food and water which it was very thankful for! Turns out my mom has been wanting a kitty, so the talk I had with DH about why we couldn't add a third cat and a baby at the same time was a little easier since my parents are very near by! (DH has the tendency to bond with cute little things)
