Super slippery preggers hands dropped a whole Tupperware of soup on the floor. And that same 100 week super preggers had to clean that shit up. I seriously stood there for a minute or two staring and wanting to cry. I cleaned up every last bit of that soup on the floor. Every bit. I'm a big sweaty mess... And I fucking showered today and everything... Ugh.

Oh man, not only did you have to get down to clean it up, but I'd be upset about the wasted food, too!  

I cried this morning because a lady on a bike with a kid on the back flipped me off and screamed "Bitch!" at me when I took my own damn turn at the 4-way stop. Apparently she thought the rules of traffic don't apply to her? 

Also, I have a fan on at my desk b/c I am a sweaty beast too.

So I'm watching my step kids eat dinner we are having chicken pot pie and peas and carrots. I'm watching my step son eat and its so painful he is picking up each bite size piece of carrot and pea individually on his fork eating them one at a time.

@misskilljoy, yeah I work on a college campus, so lots of pedestrians and cyclists. I am normally very cautious and respectful, but I had come to a FULL stop when she was still 5 feet back from the white line. HOW she thought it was her turn is beyond me. And to scream an obscenity and use her entire arm to flip me off -- it was just SO excessive! Not to mention it was a bad example of language, behavior, and SAFETY for the kid!

I'm normally very even tempered but pregnancy rage is definitely starting to set in. I also cried in the check out line at the store the other day b/c I was standing there overheating and having painful contractions, watching the next line over move quickly while mine was at a standstill. I was so desperate to just get to my car and sit down.

(I cry when I get really angry.)

@misskilljoy‌ gas under a dollar????

What is this witchcraft?!?

Where I am at gas is 2.66 per gallon!!!

Uh... I'm in Canada. We pay per litre. There are almost four litres in a gallon.

So your gas is way cheaper than mine. I paid around $3.70/gallon today.

That explains it! I thought you paid per gallon like the US. I was almost like, let's move to Canada! Lmfao.

I cry when I get super angry too! Definitely the checkout people have been my biggest rage trigger this last few months. Or anyone moving painfully slow!

On a side note: this is why measurements can be meaningless sometimes...13lb baby!!

Also on a side note, an older woman that I work with brought me some red raspberry leaf tea....(cause of some old wives tale,).... I didn't really pay much attention to what she was saying for it except for it's supposed to help me not have as painful contractions and all that blah blah blah, but it's caffeine free naturally and I love tea so I made some and

IT IS SO DELICIOUS!!
I found my new favorite tea!

nwsnowbunny

Headed to Target for some last minute supplies, stopping at Sonic on the way...anyone want anything?!

om nom nom

desertsun

Those fries look AMAZING, @nwsnowbunny!

Also, glad I'm not the only one who angry cries and gets rage-y in the checkout.

Lastly, HOW does a baby that huge happen???

Guys, wanting to eat my baby because he is so cute is normal!

Just a heads up that if you're at all squeamish, you may want to avoid the shark video circulating around the interwebs today...

Now I feel like I need to go find this video because my stomach is made of steel.

Is it the one with the dead shark and the babies!?!?!?!!?!?!!? 

Yes chayshay1408. It made me look at c-sections in a whole new light. *shudder*

Linky for you misskilljoy.

Okay, explain this please. I will not watch the video because my stomach is not made of steel, but I'm curious.

@tairairat, it is basically a shark c-section. 

Some people had really positive comments on the video b/c shark babies are saved and released into the ocean.

But it's not a marine biologist or vet doing it. It's just a guy with a knife on a beach with spectators taking video. 

I just felt like it was graphic and hard to watch, but it might just be me -- I just scheduled a RCS for my stubborn little breech baby and I'm having a lot of mixed feelings about it.  

ETA for extra word

kirstey728

It was pretty cool! I loved it.

Faith in humanity!

What is up with all of these crazy new people?

"Dear diary - ever since I got knocked up, I have felt different. My belly keeps growing and getting bigger and bigger, the closer I get to my due date. I am having pressure in all the places where the baby is resting and the pressure gets worse the bigger the baby gets. And the closer I am to giving birth, the more uncomfortable I get. Something must be wrong other than just being pregnant, right!?

I know labor is different for everyone, but I don't like it when my OB can't accurately predict when I'm having this baby. So I'm going to list common 3rd tri symptoms and demand you ladies predict whether I'm in labor or tell me how to make myself go in to labor. Even if it is a bad idea. If you refuse, fuck you, you are all terrible bitches and I feel sorry for your babies - but hope they're ugly."

I just don't know.

I liked that angry emu!!

That emu hurt my brain. I couldn't stop staring!

Picked up this nifty link though:

I have finally caught up with Hodor.  However, I have nothing to contribute.  eta: I take it back! Just caught the end of Dirty Dancing. Sigh...love that movie.

Shortstack06

@misskilljoy I asked my doctor last time if he could estimate the baby's weight or size, his response was I probably have a better guess than him. I haven't had an u/s in 18 weeks and even then baby measured ahead 5 days. I could have a 10 lb baby for all we know right now. So I think if you don't have scans or anything you just estimate.

Oh man - a couple pages behind in this thread but at L&D triage as of an hour ago b/c water broke... T&P appreciated! 39 wks exactly today. Looks like we might have an impatient one on our hands...

Good luck @irish2014‌ and @chelseavranich‌!! Will be thinking of you today.

Goodluck ladies! @irish2014 and @chelseavranich lets get some more outside babies today!

amedbery

@chelseavranich‌ and @irish2014‌ - Good Luck!!

kirstey728

Babies!!! more babies! @chelseavranich‌ and @irish2014‌ good luck!!

It's so surreal to me the birth announcement board has his triple digits!

irish2014

@chelseavranich looks like we're water breaking buddies!! Good luck to you!! Funny thing is, when they originally dated me based on LMP today was my due date. Then they sized after ultrasound and moved it back a week...

Whew, here goes. On Pit now with IV, too - about 4 mins apart but not that strong yet. Feeling a bit tired but pretty good. And DH is conked out on the pull out bed.

ETA I forgot to add status

irish2014

@chelseavranich‌ good luck, hope it gets working!! I was having contractions about every 6 min, but not that strong and only 1 cm so still a loooong way to go...

Yay babies! Screw the 13lber, my doc told me this kid will be 100lbs. I fricken win.

Everyone kept telling me how giant this baby was gonna be.. 7lbs 7oz 19 inches. He's about 10 days early, but still.

Good luck @irish2014!

How are you ladies holding up?

I want a bagel (
DH has coffee. Lucky bastard.

I was going at about 4 minutes apart but I've slowed way down. I think they're going to have to bump my pitocin up more.

I want all the coffee and bagels and doughnuts. I have been informed I can have Popsicles, I suppose that's something.

Hanging in there and playing the waiting game w pretty legit contractions so we'll see... Trying for naptime before things get crazy, since I was up at 4am, but it's hard to sleep.

So am I the world's only pregnant woman who has NOT reached the "I'm so done with this" phase??? I've got 1.5 weeks left and I'm definitely NOT in the camp of 'get this over with.' I'm in the 'time is going TOO FAST' camp!

Yes. I obviously want to meet her, but I don't feel the need to get anything over with! I'm ready for everything, but agree time has gone unbelievably quickly!

I'm pretty ok staying pregnant. Due tomorrow and I'm stuck between my dad being here so he's anxious for me to have him, and my mom not coming in for 6 more days and wanting to be here for his birth. Damned if I do, damned if I don't, so whenever he comes I'm ok with it.

Cheekers2010

@irish2014 and @chelseavranich‌ - wishing smooth labors!

I'm only done being pregnant because I'm being induced on Wednesday (high risk) and I am dreading it. I would so appreciate if baby girl decides to come in her own before that but it's unlikely.

misskilljoy said:

OMG, this itchiness and rash have now decided to just positively take over my stretch marks. Starting to think doc was wrong on it being eczema and that it is, in fact, PUPPP even though it didn't start on my belly. Either way it's harmless to me and the baby, but oh man it is brutal. DH got upset with me this morning because I scratched my feet raw in my sleep. IN MY SLEEP. I don't even know how I REACHED my feet in my sleep - especially without waking up. Really hope it goes away after I give birth!

In better news, I have my baby shower today! Woo! I'm wearing the world's comfiest, flowiest wrap dress and it will be awesome.

PUPPP is miserable. Have you tried the Sarna lotion I rec'd awhile back? That helped me a little, as did cool showers or cool washcloths. Some people also like pine tar soap. Your doc may also be able to prescribe something.

I hope you feel pretty in your wrap dress and have a wonderful time at your shower today!

brookey79

Just catching up.....

@irish2014 and @chelseavanrich -  Good luck today!  I hope everything goes smoothly.  So exciting you get to meet your little ones soon.

@misskilljoy - I hope you have a great time at your shower today!

@kirstey728 - I've been drinking raspberry leaf tea for about 3 weeks 2-3 times a/day.  I thought it may be awful, but it is quite tasty.  Not sure if it will do anything, but worth a try.

I am done with being pregnant now (due on Tuesday) too.  I just want to meet this LO.  Hopefully she'll decide to make her appearance in the next week.  I'm dreading getting to 42 weeks.
