QOTW: what are your thanksgiving plans?

Jeansis

Hi Ladies! I am 38.5 with my little guy and so ready to meet him! I don't feel like labor is going to start any time soon though. I've had some bloating, pelvic achiness, and some occasional really mild period-like cramps in my lower abdomen and thighs, but otherwise I just feel normal. My AMA checks have been good as well.

I have been super emotional the past few days. Started crying this morning because I got worried that I haven't been talking to the baby enough and because of that he'll be scared and won't want to come out. I know that sounds kind of crazy, but that's what I was upset about. DH calmed me down and I'm feeling better now. I hope the heightened emotions and anxiety are a sign he'll be here soon!  

QOTW: I'm mostly going to be chilling at home with DH for Thanksgiving. Then, we'll go to a family dinner at my mom's house later in the evening. That is, unless I am in labor, which a few of my family members have told me they think is what will happen. (Is anyone else having friends, family, coworkers tell you this kind of thing? It's weird. I think that some bets may even have been placed at my husband's place of business haha.)

Hope you are all doing great!

@Jeansis after reading your post I had a mini-panic that I also wasn’t talking to Baby enough and he wouldn’t bond with me at birth! I also cried while listening to Imagine by John Lennon and sent a nasty email to our contractor today.....the late preggo emotions are REAL!

We are 37+3 today. I’m puffy everywhere, including sinuses so I have had a constant sinus headache for three days, cramping, even 45 mins of false labor on Saturday, and soooooo grumpy! Had an OB appt today and was told “it could still be weeks” before baby comes I was also given a note to stop working, but will probably work the next two days and just not come back after the long weekend.  

QOTW: we are attending a Friendsgiving that is strictly from 5-8pm (the hosts are SERIOUS about their toddler’s nap/bedtime schedule). I don’t mind though because I’m actually dreading 3 hours of socializing with how grumpy I am!

@jeansis I was worried that I did not talk to the twins enough. Your baby will know you no matter what. The hormones are crazy though...  People comment all the time about what they think will happen with your body and your baby. Its crazy. 
@PoeMasque the last few weeks can be rough. your sore, tired but soon it will all be worth it. Your freindsgiving sounds nice. nap/bed time schedules are no joke! I try not to mess with them unless i have to. Sometimes I wish for the flexibility but the routine is so important for them and the times we mess with it we always regret it. 

AFM 35+2 the back pain is getting frustrating. I just keep telling myself only 5 more weeks. As uncomfortable as I am some times I Keep telling myself to savor these last 5 weeks because its not happening again. 

QOTW: we are going to a friends house for thanksgiving but when I said yes I did not realize they do it mid day... well that is twin nap time... so thursday should be interesting if they miss their nap. (see my above comments) also my dad and SIL will be in town. it will be nice to see them, but cleaning the house at this stage is rough.
