@kimbus and other pregnant mamas

I know we didn't plan a weekly check in, but I need somewhere to vent.  Misery loves company so join in if you want!

How many weeks?
38 weeks, 5 days - ignore my ticker, it's wrong.

How do you feel?
Tired and sore.  This baby is punching me in a tendon at my hip and it makes me jump every time.  I am also sick of how incredibly whiny I am.  I can only imagine what others think of me at this point.

Are you eating well or indulging your cravings?
Based on the last 36 hours, I'd say we are in an indulgent mood.  Drank my homemade coffee, went to the coffee shop midmorning, had a pop midafternoon and then topped it off with a hot dog for dinner last night.  This morning isn't looking much better, I stopped and grabbed not one, but two chocolate old fashion donuts on my way to work.

What has your DH done that's been super helpful lately?
He's done a great job keeping his mouth shut about my attitude and rubbing my back every night.

What has your DH done that was less than award worthy?
He slept in an extra thirty minutes this morning while I let the dog out, made breakfast (typically his job!), dressed N and packed out bags.  He did make coffee and if he hadn't I may have let him have it, but that was his saving grace this morning.

Anything else?
When is this baby going to show up?!?  I am dragging and it's only Tuesday.  Thankfully, my sleep has improved, but I think that's just ap roduct of being SO tired.
Hallelujah, it's a miracle, I have children AND a signature!

    How many weeks - 27 weeks

    How do you feel? - Great! This pregnancy has been easier that it was with DD... my only complaint is insomnia, really, and how tired I am effects how well I function during the day. But really, I can't complain because we're doing really well. 

    Are you eating well or indulging you cravings - Both. In general I eat very healthful meals and snacks... that's how we eat in general. But if I feel like a treat, I go for it guilt-free baby. I'm totally repulsed by anything sweet this pregnancy though, which is merciful. I can't even look at cookies or sweets or baked goods.... totally unappealing. 

    What has your DH done that was super helpful lately? - He's just been wonderful in general from the very beginning. He lets me go to bed early and finishes up the household cleaning... he doesn't complain or make me feel guilty about how much less sex we're having... he's been giving me nightly massages.... he's just generally wonderful and supportive. 

    What has he done that was less than award-worthy - On Sunday after church he invited our pastor and a group of visiting pastors (who are pretty intimidating...) over to our house for lunch next Sunday. Not a big deal, but DD won`t get her nap, and I'm freaked out about cooking something good for all those impressive men.... ah well. 

    Anything else? Hmmm, don't think so. We're just plugging along :)

    How many weeks - 38 weeks 6 days

    How do you feel? - I'm doing ok. Lots of contractions still.. And tired, sleeping sucks. Lol

    Are you eating well or indulging you cravings - I have been eating pretty well. Just really hungry from time to time. I did grab a late snack last night and finished it off with a hand full of M&Ms.. :)

    What has your DH done that was super helpful lately? - I had a rough night Sunday, so he took DD to his parents for the day and he worked from home there.. It was lovely. Oh, and he brought me Starbucks before hand.. So I curled up on the couch w my coffee and Netflix.. I finally got out of my pjs at 5 to make some dinner..

    What has he done that was less than award-worthy - tromped through the downstairs yesterday in his wet shoes... The hard floors are a mess now... Arghhh...

    Anything else? - Just hoping to get past tomorrow which is DDs birthday..

    Edited for spacing.

    How many weeks? 14

    How are you feeling? Pretty good. Morning sickness is a thing of the past. I have energy in spurts, but do get tired fast. My boobs seem to be the sorest during the night. I do wear sleep bras, but man, my boobs hurt sometimes when I wake up. I have a little bump, which makes it seem like it is real.

    Are you eating well or indulging in your cravings? Umm....most of my cravings have been around Mexican type food...salsa, chips, burritos, tacos. Those are somewhat healthy, right??? I haven't really craved much sweets and haven't really eaten much sweets. I'm normally a huge sweet person, so that is weird for me.

    What has your DH done that has been so helpful lately? He's just been so great. If I am tired at night or need to just rest, he just takes over and plays with DS. He will put him to bed too if I just don't feel up to it.

    What else has he done that has been less than award worthy? I've got nothing.

    Anything else? Umm...nope.

    How many weeks? 
    34 I think?  I'm counting backwards already...38 days to go.

    How are you feeling? 
    Honestly like crap.  Everything hurts.  It was SO not like this with DD.  I gained all the weight in my belly and by 6pm it is just so heavy I am in tears just carrying myself around the house.  I miss crossing my legs and not having to rock myself off the couch like I weigh 3000 lbs.  And wtf, my size large boy shorts barely fit over my ass at this point.  Seriously?? I cannot spend the rest of my pregnancy walking around commando.  

    Are you eating well or indulging in your cravings? 
    A total mix.  I will make a salad for dinner, and eat 5 oreos for dessert.  I eat a decent amount of fruit.  I am totally turned off by hot vegetables this pregnancy.  Only cold, raw ones I'll eat.

    What has your DH done that has been so helpful lately? 
    HA!  Ok that's mean.  I actually just made him a list of crap he needs to do.  We haven't started the nursery yet, so tomorrow he needs to clear all the existing furniture out of that room and so on.  He's been helpful in the fact that he hasn't complained about eating eggs for dinner most nights.


    What else has he done that has been less than award worthy? 
    It would be nice for him to remember to run the dishwasher at night, or bring some of the boxes I can't lift up to the babies room for me.  

    Anything else? 
    I am whiny and complaining constantly.  I am so sick of myself already.  Praying for a speedy 38 days.

    How do you feel?
    Good but fatigue and indigestion is really starting to creep in!!

    Are you eating well or indulging your cravings?
    Indulging my cravings but saying no to sweets more than I used to. So I feel that's a win. 

    What has your DH done that's been super helpful lately?
    He's an all around supportive hubby. He's just awesome. 

    What has your DH done that was less than award worthy?
    Nothing really. 

    Anything else?
    I can't wait to have her here.

    I can't format on my stupid ipad, but I just wanted to say that it made me smile to know I'm not the only one who's sick of her own whining! I'm almost 36 weeks, and this pregnancy has sucked compared to my first. I have irritable uterus, so contractions pretty much all the time, which is just exhausting. And now the baby is so low that I have SPD, basically my hips are coming apart in the front. I'm quickly becoming useless, and I complain so much that I want to punch myself in the face! I'm impressed that DH is still speaking to me, I give him tons of credit just for not running off into the forest. Thanks for giving me somewhere to whine!

    I could have written this! Thanks for commiserating :)
    Hallelujah, it's a miracle, I have children AND a signature!
