I wonder who will have the first June baby. Anyone being induced on the 1st? I am so excited for June, but mostly late June, I wish time would move faster!
@lest12 - Sorry to hear your dad got in an accident because of some twat texting. That irritates me like no other when I see people texting and weaving on the roads! Glad he's ok!!!

@lest12 I hope your dad feels better soon! Sounds like a great guy!
American Greetings is having a buy 3 get 3 sale. So, I went ahead and bought Father's Day cards. If LO is here, she has a card for DH. If not, it'll get saved for next year. This is the first year not buying a card for my dad. So, it was really nice to have a reason to buy a daddy card.

@Taymiller My c section is scheduled for 7:15am on the 4th! But I'm sure some momma is gonna go into labor before that :P

I'm due June 4th, but I'm convinced I'm going to have an August baby. She's too comfy in there.

Thanks everyone! We are still here but I think he'll be fine. I told him my internet friends were asking for him, which he appreciated but I thinks he thinks I'm weird lol.

That is awful @lest12! I hope your dad feels better soon. Seeing people texting while driving really upsets me...I see it all the time while DH is driving and I'm looking out the window. Don't people realize the consequences?!

I will gladly have the first June baby, but I'm guessing my LO is hanging out in here a bit longer too. Don't these babies know we are ready for them to be here!
Today my dog has been so weird. Usually he follows me around, but today he hasn't left my side, wouldn't sleep unless it was on me, and now he will not stop bugging DH. He's been walked, run around outside, played with inside and taken out and fed at his normal times. Like really dude? And my cat was REALLY clingy today too. And I've got cat hair all over me now.
I'm sorry about your dad, @lest12! Texting and driving is never worth it. It's illegal in California, but I constantly see people doing it anyway. If you don't value your life, fine, but don't endanger mine and my loved ones lives!
Pretty sure in NY you get a ticket and 5 points on your license. As far as I understand you get a suspended license after 6 points. They aren't playing over here!
I have even weirder dreams PP. I dreamt that I was pregnant with our 3rd and when into full on labor at a random birth center I read about in a magazine. It was just me, my mom, and the midwife and I got to 7 cm and decided it was too painful and I didn't want to do it anymore. So I sent DF to do it instead while I went to the mall. I eventually met him at Arby's where I saw him showing off our new baby that was a little boy named John Luke.
Crazy town..
Still pregnant, but just had a dream that DH somehow impregnated himself. He was in the first tri and complaining he was tired. Sooooooooo damn weird!
It's 2:30. I've been awake since midnight. That's why I don't go to bed at 8 no matter how tired I am. H will be up in an hour for work, which means I will be up too.
I'm so incredibly swollen I hurt. The kid is having a soccer tournament inside me. Now I'm starting to cramp. All I want is to sleep.
Also, the thought of having to have a c section both terrifies me and saddens me. I'm gonna be really mad if they estimate this baby being huge and they do the section only to have a normal size newborn. Here's to hoping a miracle happens and baby decides to come on his own or he measures at a normal weight.

I sound like a total whiner!
I totally get it. I had a serious ugly cry breakdown over having my c section next week. I knew it was going to happen that way but for some reason i am so intensely scared and idk how to alleviate that feeling
My FTM is showing. Let's say you knew exactly when your baby would arrive...what would you stock up on at the grocery store the day before? Or don't even go because your parents are coming & can go for you while you're in the hospital?
@CJnKR2014 I'm glad I'm not the only one. H thinks I'm crazy. He's in the mindset of whatever is the safest thing for baby. Which I totally am too, that is the most important thing 155%. But I just pictured having a vaginal birth and having them lay him on my chest right away. I have to grieve that. It sounds weird but it's true. Plus I've never had anything close to surgery and that gives me such bad anxiety. I still have hope that things will change, either I go into labor naturally or he measures smaller than they think he will. Monday can't come soon enough!
I'm sorry you ladies are having such a hard time with c-section anxiety! A teacher at C's daycare mentioned to me yesterday that due to pre-existing hip issues, she'll never be able to birth vaginally and it makes her sad. I can't alleviate those fears directly, as I haven't had a c-section, but I have a friend who just had her second, and ten days later she and her family (DH, 2 year old, and 10 day old) were up and walking around Boston Commons! I hope that eases some of your fears!

Hugs to you! I'm also having a c-section, which is the opposite of the midwife- natural birth I was planning. While it's the safest option (breech baby), I am a little sad too. Also, I do not know exactly what your situation is, but a baby is rarely so big that it can't be delivered vaginally.
My sister's bridal shower is Saturday and I invited about 9 women over tonight to get ready - put together favors, etc. Now I'm totally dreading it, not because I have to clean, or go buy some appetizers, or socialize, but because my dog hates my aunt. Usually he needs a few meetings to warm up to someone and then he's your BFF, but not her. And it doesn't help that instead of ignoring him or doing the other things our dog trainer suggested, she challenges him. Lady, why do you want to go one-on-one with my dog? You're not the dog whisperer and your "techniques" are the opposite of what our trained professional told us.
@mrsdbc - agreed! But with her, I feel like she is disrespecting me. My house, my dog. I am telling you how we deal with this issue here. You're not listening.
So now the dog just hates her. I feel bad that Buddy has to deal with her tonight, not the other way around.
@lest12 you and I must have the same dog. He is the same way. Usually after a meeting or two he's fine. But DH's grandma doesn't get that, and Apollo doesn't like her. But she thinks that by chasing him around with his "quiet time" toy (which is the only toy he's semi possessive over) he'll want to play. DH kept telling her to ignore him. And sure enough when she did the dog was fine! But then she'd start up again. Worst part was my sMIL was reprimanding my dog (who was listening to DH and I completely) for giving the "leave me alone" warning to DH's grandma, he would just give a little growl, no snapping, sorry but my dog was listening, grandma wasn't! I'm telling you how to handle my dog, and you're not listening to me. It's so frustrating. She's the only person he's had an issue with. Sorry poor Buddy has to deal with that tonight! I totally get how you feel.
And @mrsdbc that is terrifying. I got the heebie jeebies reading that!
I took my car in for an oil change to make sure I got it taken care of before the baby gets here. When it was done, he brought me my keys and then handed me the receipt that was zeroed out. He said it was on them as a congratulations on the baby. My oil changes are usually around $70!
Totally AWing for my dad who got offered a week long job in Tennessee based on a recommendation from his former co-worker. He's been unemployed for over a year and although this job is only a week long it's a good paying job. He'll be doing something with electrical cable testing, which is what he's done his whole life pretty much (he has an electrical degree). Maybe this company will offer him some other opportunities if they like him!
Last night when he was talking to DH is first concern was not being around when the baby is born (our baby is the first grandchild on both sides). I thought it was so cute that that's what he was concerned about. But maybe she'll be here to welcome him home because he'll be gone the week of my EDD! If not he'll be around for when she's born anyway!
I just went to Sam's Club to do the monthly giant shop, Verizon to cancel our cable and save us a little money, Savers to drop off some clothes, and the bank to deposit my last paycheck. I am EXHAUSTED! Still easier/quicker than doing it this weekend with DH and C in tow, but good lord. I'm not getting off my couch again until Monday.
@Pepper6 - You inspired me to get my oil changed today (I've been putting it off for too long!). Unfortunately, I didn't get it free like you but thanks for unintentional reminder to me!
I was offered a part time position that would be perfect. I asked the lady that will be watching the baby if she'd consider lowering the cost per day since it's half the hours he'd need to be taken care of. It's the only way it'd make sense for me to take the position. I can't cut my hours and still pay as much as we would be. I don't think she's going to. I'm so disappointed.
Third tri offers endless entertainment. Maybe I'm just mean, but someone posted that they've been betrayed by their husband because she snooped and found that he had looked at porn. Cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it.

Texting and driving is illegal in MA, too. Or, looking on the internet and driving. It doesn't stop people though. Jerks.
Talking in driving is legal but smart people (like my dad) use bluetooth. I wonder if DH and I should look into it
