I'm bored... at work... it's my last day. Let's get this party started!

Z to Be · October 2011

They're throwing me a baby shower today at work, which is super sweet but all I want to do is go home and sleep.

soon2bjmn · October 2011

The word "congrats" drives me up the wall.

Fianschneid · October 2011

My DH and I are going to have one last date night at a steak place we like this weekend, before LO comes. He asked to see if I could get reservations for tonight but I know I'm going to be too tired to go after work. So I'm going to pretend they were booked and schedule it for tomorrow.

I don't know why I'm lying about it instead of just telling him I'm tired. This is unlike me.

The word "congrats" drives me up the wall.

It only drives me crazy when people spell it "congrads" -argh! Same goes for "congradulations"; unless you're doing it as a pun for somebody who is graduating, this is just annoying!

Lily can somehow already roll from her back onto her side and has done it a couple times in her crib. She hates being on her back and at night just flat out refuses to sleep that way. Despite knowing that "back is best" etc., I find I'm leaving her on her side if she rolls. I feel guilty about not having her in the best possible position for SIDS risk, but I can't stand the thought of disturbing her when she's so peaceful!

peelester429 · October 2011

My doc already scheduled my induction for Tuesday afternoon to get us "in the books" at the hospital. I'm having a checkup Monday to see if I've progressed any further on my own, and then he'll give us his recommendation, but let DH and I make the call. I've been back-and-forth on whether we'll go for induction or keep waiting it out - The doc's reasons for induction are based on big baby predictions and him being on call.

As of this minute, I'm leaning toward induction. I'm done, and so ready to meet this LO.

Flame away.

CakeBatter · October 2011

I am so terrified and traumatized at the thought of needing a CS next week that I'm seriously considering asking to be completely put under for it, even though it means DH can't be in the room to see his daughter be born.

When I read birth stories I only read the first part to see if they tell about symptoms leading up to labor that might sound similar to mine and then I look at pictures. But no one gives enough detail or their 'pre-labor' symptoms I plan on giving a ton to all the other pathetically desperate moms like me. PS I know I am only 37w and 2 d but I have been staying home since Labor Day with no car....I am tired of waiting!

Hahahaha....me too! I can't even stand myself.

jpeazybreezy · October 2011

The one and only reason I'm interested in my baby coming before it's due date is so that I don't have to work any more. Outside of that, I could wait.

e_delo · October 2011

Mine is silly, but I feel really guilty. We joined netflix a while back because we heard about this show called "Dexter" we got hooked. Seasons 1&2 were available to stream but we had to do Seasons 3,4, &5 via disks, no big deal. But netflix decided to raise their prices so after we finished season 5 we cancelled netflix and signed up for Showtime on October 2 at 8:00 (1 hour before Season 6 started). As soon as season 6 is over, we plan to cancel Showtime. I kind of feel like I'm stealing, even though we're paying for it.

OMG, we did the exact same thing for Dexter, minus the signing up for Showtime. We already carry HBO so we decided to wait until Season 6 comes out on DVD.

pearblossom · October 2011

DH told me they are throwing him a shower at work this weekend and I was so irritated. If it's anything like when we had DD, I will have to write a million thank you notes to women I have never met for a bunch of random crap that gets immediately donated. I know it's so sweet of them to do this for him and I'm grateful he works at a company with people that care about each other, I'm just lazy and crabby.

Wish I could be more help, but I didn't have a lot of symptoms. I'll share what I remember, though. I know that the night before something just felt *different* when I'd wake during the night, but I couldn't pinpoint what it was. I did definitely have some PMS-style cramps several nights leading up to labour, but that was random and started a couple weeks before. And then on the day I went into labour there was a lot more pressure down low, I was more crampy than I had been and I was more uncomfortable sitting (which I attributed to working all day when I wasn't used to it and sitting in uncomfortable plastic chairs at the Rosh Hashanah service we attended). But unfortunately there weren't any clear signs I can warn you about.

Dexter is my favorite show. Ever. Season 1 and the Trinity Killer season were phenomenal! This Sunday Mos Def makes his appearance; I am super stoked!

Love. Love. Love Dexter!!!!!! Although I am not liking Colin Hanks as the newest Villain. I do like Mos Def though!

If it makes you feel any better, we fully steal shows we want to watch. We don't have cable/satellite, we just stream shows from free websites. We have Netflix, but the Canadian version doesn't have current shows available. Some shows are now being aired on the network's website (the American ones block us, had to wait for the Canadian equivalents to catch up), so at least I can legitimately watch Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Big Bang Theory, Glee and Criminal Minds, but any other shows we want to watch we have to use free streaming sites.

Why are you having one then?

Big baby. She was measuring 9 lbs 13 oz ( +/- 1 lb) as of Monday, and is gaining about an ounce a day on average (so we're estimating 10 & 1 now). Her lung amnio results were inconclusive, so they're being sent for additional testing. If they come back good, we will try to induce tomorrow (or Monday at the latest, pending another growth scan). If they come back bad, we need to give her more time to bake, and therefore would require a CS after 39 weeks (by then she could easily be 10 & 6, +/- 1 lb). I'm doing everything I possibly can to avoid a CS, but I won't risk her health by inducing too early or trying to deliver her vaginally when she may wind up with shoulder dystocia or broken collar bones, or wind up with an emergency CS anyway.

happylady07 · October 2011

My house is a disaster, I have yet to get the "nesting" bug. I've got 3 loads of laundry piled up from Monday that I have yet to fold still Embarrassed

Worth every penny! I swear I was depressed for a week after the end of Season 4. And damn it, Dexter gets hotter and hotter every season. My H catches me intentlly staring Dexter down sometimes - he makes me drool.

Our cable package allows 3 premium movie channels, and we have HBO, Cinemax and Starz. However, when Dexter's season starts we always call and have them "cancel" Cinemax and add Showtime. Then after the season is concluded, we have them switch it back. Cinemax has way better movies, but we do love to watch Dexter, so this works out really well for us and it doesn't cost us anything extra!

LOL! DH hasn't caught on yet, but I'm always friskier after an episode of Dexter!

amyc216 · October 2011

Now that I'm overdue, I feel a little satisfaction at all the jerky coworkers who have been saying "You'll never make it to October." Ha ha!

My parents get Showtime just for Dexter as well. Sounds like I should give it a try on my Netflix!

Hey I'm right there with you. I may have to be induced if it turns out my first GD test was a false negative (also a large baby). Honestly it would be kind of reassuring to know that it would be my doc delivering the baby, and to try to go into labor while he's still a size that I could deliver vaginally.

Totally me too. Technically, it would be better for me financially if she were a week late, but I am done with my work, I can't start any new projects, and getting dressed in something mildly presentable every day is getting harder and harder. Physically, I am pretty comfortable too, and still sleeping well (@ 38 wks, 5 days).

couldn't agree more! I have had a pretty comfortable pregnancy so far, but I know that just typing this will make me gain 10 lbs in a week, have sciatic pain and need to break out preparation h

Someone just told me for the 1,235,023,145,000.33 time today that "I'm not going to make it". NOW the stubborn part of me is making me want to stay around till my 40th week...but that will change as soon as I have to wake up Monday to come in.

Can someone PLEASE explain this bogus world we live in where we have to work for money?

HA! I did feel slightly guilty every morning this week when DH had to dig through the pile to find clean socks to wear to work. I stay at home so it's not like I didn't have time to fold the freaking laundry all week! Oh and that's not counting the giant pile of hand me down baby clothes that I have yet to organize and clear a drawer to put them away. My living room is one giant pile of laundry!

Hollygirl7 · October 2011

Now that I'm overdue, I'm starting to get really annoyed at all of the birth stories, especially the ones who went before their due date. I still read them, but I might stop soon, because it just makes me more frustrated that my little girl isn't here yet, and then the "woe is me" feelings really set in. I went 13 days overdue with my first, so I tried telling myself this time that I'd go super late again, but it's still hard! Especially with Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend, so 25 family members are in town, and I'm really anxious to NOT be in labour when our absense would be particularly noted, especially when we live on my in-law's property, they're hosting the family dinner, and I'm planning a homebirth.

This exactly. Plus a few dishes sitting in the dishwasher.. I'm too lazy to bend over to take them out :-/ ...

Also.. I don't want DH getting drunk/buzzed with his friends in case I go into labor. I don't want a drunk labor coach telling me to push.. I have this fear that the second he gets drunk, my water will break. Completely irrational, I know.. but I can't get over it. DH will have to wait :-p

This, only the exact opposite scenario lol. My own mom keeps calling me up and telling me that I am going to have her late.. that there's "no way" I'll go before my EDD... well now I'm almost HOPING I go into labor before my EDD just to spite her! Argh what a crazy reason...

colliebabe · October 2011

Now that I am overdue, I am really, really over my maternity clothes. I just spent my whole trip to Target pulling up my maternity stretchy pants/tights (the kind you wear under a dress) every other step I took. The other night I wore underwear over the tights (but under a dress) just to keep them up - I guess I should have done that again today!

Also - more of a rant - why do people feel the need to fly out of the end of the aisle at the store? I almost got into about 3 crashes today with people who were going really fast and didn't look before entering the "main aisle." It makes me wonder what great drivers they must be if they can't even properly maneuver a shopping cart. Confused

My Mackenzie does the same thing. Both at the hospital and the home care nurse when she came for her visit said that was ok. As long as I'm putting her down on her back I can leave her on her side if she rolls to it. I wouldn't worry too much, just make sure she doesn't have any loose blankets or anything by her face.
