Re: Randoms & Questions 4/17-4/21

  • I know this has been discussed, but as we're getting closer, I wanted to pose it again. When do you get your last wax/downstairs grooming? I know some don't, but those who are planning to primp, when??
    I think I messed up timing. It was my intent to get a wax, but then I shaved 2 weeks ago for my first check. Although, at the rate things are growing I can probably go in. Hmm...I better make an appt.

    @jayandaplus, yes! Those are great tactics that I've used with both kiddos. My fear is a child who won the respond to those...it definitely happens and it scares me! I can't imagine listening to a baby cry for 3+ hours at a time...

    this was my DS... it was terrible... every evening he would just cryyyyyyyy. Nothing helped... it was a long couple months until he grew out of it.  I think it was reflux and terrible gas. One of my fears for this new baby. Hopefully that doesn't happen to yours!!

    My wax schedule is set so that currently I have my last wax appointment on the 24th, due date on the 27th.  I may try and move that up to the 18th if it turns out my last day at the office is sooner than expected.  My waxer is near my office so I'm trying to base it off of that and my current 3-4 week between waxes schedule.

  • Can I just be a little jealous that 2 weeks after a shave @nda_roxybabe still isn't sure she has enough to wax? After about a week after my last shave I my vagina starts singing "Welcome  to The Jungle". 
    I'm only not sure because I cant see! Haha

    @vrj0522 YES! I want all the birth stories too. And I am super disappointed in Aprils birth announcements, I lurk every month when it's their turn to read them and they have hardly any! 
    Me too! I love reading all the stories. A bunch of March babies arrived in April and/or their stories only recently posted, have you seen those?
  • Random: So I just worked two 12 hour shifts in a row, per usual, and then today did a bit of cleaning and organizing, caught up on the bump, and now I don't know what to do with myself! DH is taking a nap, but I hate naps (I'd rather sleep in.) I've organized, I've picked up around the house, emptied/loaded dishwasher and washed dishes by hand, made a schedule for the month of May with all appointments and my cleaning schedule. Now what?
    Wow I'm impressed with your productivity! My never ending list involves so much random stuff that has nothing to do with baby coming home... but the nesting instinct is insisting I complete.  Silly things like paint my bedroom, deep clean my couch, reorganize my cupboards, etc. 
  • @jayandaplus Are you about to go into labor on us??

  • @nda_roxybabe Haha, no. While I wouldn't mind a little early, I'm not ready yet!
  • @bacorrea I just tried it and that was my opinion too...interesting, but not anything I'd be up dreaming about. Maybe if it came out last pregnancy when I was on a sour candy bender...

    Random:
    Any STM+ moms notice their toddlers being clingy close to the end? I swear DD is literally all over me all day.
    If I weren't mobile bumping I would add the Mean Girls "why are you so obsessed with me" gif

    OMG YES. This child is currently on top of me. I keep trying to tell myself that things are changing for her and to be patient, but omg I am so touched out.
  • @jayandaplus Are you about to go into labor on us??
    I was wondering this, too! The lady who taught our labor classes described how she had a massive burst of energy/nesting the day before all three of her labors.

    WTF grocery store bagger who put my bag of potatoes in with my English muffins, and then two Debbie cake boxes in a huge tote all by themselves. Also, WTF heartburn attack on the way home that won't subside? It's really hard to try to burp and poop at the same time.

    It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s that I don’t know you. Stranger Danger.
  • I love DD to death and totally appreciate the affection, but...like @bacorrea said, I'm a bit touched out. The kisses between every bite of food, the constant need to lay and roll all over me while I'm already uncomfortable...it wears me out.
  • I would love it if my ds was a little more attatched to me, he's such a daddy's boy. He pushes me off the couch and tells me to get up, then he calls out for his dad. This morning I tried to feed him a yogurt and he threw himself on the ground and cried because he wanted my husband to feed him instead. Little stinker...
  • Speaking of waxing/shaving;
    Possibly need third time+ mums here, anyone shaved with one and went "el natural" with another? Was after-care any better/worse either way?
    i was induced with DS so obviously tidied things up the day I was admitted, but 3 days for induction meant that by the time I was home and things were starting to heal up etc, I really needed to shave again so the itching from that plus the itching/soreness of stitches wasn't great. I can't decide if it would be better to just simply not touch it this time.


    also +1 to clingy toddlers, the past couple weeks DS hasn't wanted me to leave him at preschool, and he's been all over me while I'm home, he won't let H put him to bed etc. he seems to have been better with preschool this week, but he also had a couple days off with the easter long weekend so was probably itching to see his friends. He has also had a cold which may be contributing to it. I am just hoping it means thing are close! 37w today, full term, officially issuing an eviction notice!

  • Yes @lrwardrop! We have the same kid. I'm currently bumping while DD has DH helping to brush her teeth because I can't do it. She is 2. 
  • @PartiallyDomesticated with older daughter I was pretty neat down there, she came the day after an OB appointment. With younger daughter and Thomas, they were both unexpectedly early and I was definitely more on the jungle side of things.  With both girls I had stitches, and there really wasn't a difference in recovery between the two. And with Thomas no stitches, so infinitely better recovery!

    @Louise_Belcher, I love Postagram! I use it to send postcards to the grandparents and also DS's cousins--the kids love getting mail from DS and it's so cheap and easy!

  • Super intense rectal pressure and lightning crotch... only Braxton Hicks contractions, but those are also intense.

    If it weren't for my little guy being all caught up on my Pelvic bones, I'm sure he might fall out.  :#
