I got a little excited when I got checked at my appointment

I hope it was good news;) (even though it doesn't make a diff really, but it's still entertaining)
We are in the waiting room now, my mom said I better ask to be checked little does she know even it I am.... I am not sharing

Yeah it was good and surprising news. I am right where I was when I went into labor with ds2. Even though it doesn't mean anything it's a sgr moment!

My FFFC is that I don't mind it when people ask how I'm feeling. My parents weren't nurturing in that way, so I like that kind of attention from others.

I have a confession not really flame worthy but...
I have to wear dh's socks because my feet are so swollen... And I left the house to come to my appt and forgot I didn't have on an actual bra.... I have on a tiny weird thin sports bra that does nothing! Oops

I haven't worn a real bra for my entire third tri. Just nursing sleep bras because they're the only comfortable thing.

If anyone flames me for that, I will laugh.

Awh. How ARE you feeling??

The OB nurse asked if I wanted my cervix checked today and I agreed. I don't care if being dilated 2cm means nothing in relation to when I'll go into labor but I'm glad to know I'm dilated because it at least it means something is happening down there and that perhaps I won't be pregnant forever.
Maybe that's an UO too, I don't know.

Maybe less of a confession and more of a puzzle. Or maybe a UO.

Why do people tell their extended families/friends when their OB/MW appointments are.....and then complain when their extended families/friends ask about how the appointments went?

I just don't understand. If you tell someone you're going to have a doc appointment on such and such a day, OF COURSE they will ask you how it went afterwards. It'd seem rude NOT to.

If you don't want people asking about them, I don't understand why you have to tell anyone about them in the first place. Except for telling my mom when my A/S was, this whole pregnancy, among aaaaaaalllllll my family and friends, I've only really told MH when my appointments were. Not to be Super Sekrit, just because.....why does anyone else need to know? They don't.

Short of phenomenally nosy stalking MILs doing detective work, I Just. Don't. Understand. what's going on here.

I want to throat punch the next random person who texts me "how are you feeling, have you had that baby yet, are you ready/miserable/uncomfortable yet". You didn't give a sh!t about chatting last month or ever really. Don't think we are suddenly BFF's and I'm going to share all the details with you. Im only 38w2d and I'm already super annoyed with the check ins. New people are coming out of the woodwork to annoy me daily now. Pregosaurus is not happy.

This!

Outside babies keep us busy, but I miss all the regulars. I'm also confused by all the birth announcements... I don't know half these people... Maybe I really am that disconnected.

I am insanely jealous of the people here on TB and the women I know who are due near me that are done working. I went in to my MW with the hope of getting some type of note to be on leave due to the unsafe things I have to deal with at work and had no luck. I may have cried the whole way to work on Thursday because I had contractions all night and the thought of having to deal with hitting, kicking, and head butting was just more than I could handle.

LittlePigeon

Let me add that even after explaining I have a student head butting me numerous times a day and being told that because the baby is full term there isn't a risk and thus no reason to be on leave makes me feel like a TOTAL vessel.

I registered "private" at the hospital and put a password on entry to my room so that people have to call/text our personal phones for our room number. This will make it so that unlike last time, I dont have people I havent seen in a year walking into my room or a mother in law who was yet to be told I was ready for visitors. No password, no entry... I love it.

Besides H we have no one to visit or just drop by. Maybe you guys should take a step back and see how lucky you are to have so many people close to you who care. The opposite of that is lonely, phone calls just aren't the same.

Man I really want LO to come on the 10th. It is silly I know, but our other two babies have 10s in their birthdays and so does our anniversary so we always tease that is our family number. So today shall consist of walking, yoga ball, dtd, and anything else I can figure to get things started tonight!!! Lol
