Well, I got my date at my appt today..... induction scheduled with check in at 7:20p on Friday for Cervidil. My OB will be the Dr from his group at the hospital all day Saturday so he's having me go in Friday night and said he'll check on me Sat morning and we'll go from there - all of this pending I don't deliver btw now and then. He stripped my membranes today so there's a chance that'll do something.....fx!
I just washed and folded all the 0-3 and 3 month clothes we have. It's not quite time yet, but I don't want him to fit in them!!! Can't my baby be a newborn forever?! (
The 3 month pants definitely fit him better. NB pants are high waters. And for some reason the NB fleece sleepers fit perfectly, but the cotton ones are a little snug. :-? I held a 3 month onesie up and it's still a good bit too long so hopefully I have another week or two.

The way they label baby clothes sizes and the varying ways they fit based on brand will drive my type A/OCD personality nuts...
MIL just came out of the bathrom, after showering, not wearing any pants. That's right, she was wearing her , but no pants. The shirt just about covered her lady bits, but WTF?!?!
Holy heck!
That said, my dad is kind of like this - no shame. When they come to visit in May I'm sure we'll get at least 1 underwear parade.
Did anyone else experience stabbing cervix pains that only last like 5 seconds? I keep getting them and it is ridiculously painful. Any tips on making it a little better?
@snow527
I experienced it more as baby moved down and would poke my cervix. I would just jab my belly and tell her to knock it off.
@Tallash - how long did you experience them before baby came? I've been having it for a few weeks but it's intensified in the last three days.

...apparently my father has decided that I'm incapable of raising my daughter, because of my work history and my age. He wholeheartedly believes that I am too high-strung, too inexperienced with life, and just all around a fuck up of a person, and he and my mother are going to end up raising my baby.
Way to help my self esteem, father dear. Even better is the fact that you won't say it to my face, and I found out about it from my younger sister who still lives at home.
Guys... This hurts so much I can't even cry about it...
Is your mom around? Do you have a good relationship with her and could tell her what your dad said? I can't imagine getting that from a parent. I'm so sorry.

My wrist has been bothering me since probably 2-3 weeks PP (I'm 7w tomorrow). I just picked up LO and was moving him higher toward my shoulder and my wrist popped. So now it hurts worse ( I should probably have it looked at, but with a 7 week old I couldn't really manage a brace or anything invasive they would possibly want to do if something is really wrong... So I'll just complain about if instead.
@anonymousmotherofone oh man that sucks! Sometimes, even with family, you just have to distance yourself. It is what it is. I barely talk to my mother and my life is exponentially better because of it
Broke down and made an appointment to talk to someone after spending most of the last few days crying. It feels wonderful and awful to admit what a hot mess I am. I really hope this helps, because I can't keep going like this.

Your creepy internet stranger hugs and stuff are appreciated. Although "internet strangers" doesn't feel like it applies anymore. You're more like my bump family. xD Which may be even creepier, but IDGAF right now. -shrug-
What really hurts the most right now is that this entire pregnancy, I thought he was being all happy and supportive for me and MH, but obviously he's been pessimistic and negative behind my back the whole time, so every real or imagined scenario with him in it just takes on a poisonous and painful color in my head... The kicker is that I'm sure there were people who thought the same thing about he and my mother when they were starting out. She was 19, and he was 21. MH and I are both older than that now, and my siblings and I all turned out just fine, in my opinion.
I would talk it out with him, but seeing as even though I haven't lived at home in more than three years and I'm still slightly terrified of him, and he's always been really hard to talk to (even about good/fun things), I don't think that's going to happen any time soon. I feel like no matter what I do, and no matter how successful I become, he will always find something to criticize and talk about behind my back.
I took a nap so that maybe this would have time to sink in, and I could actually react to it, but the only thing that changed is that I'm a little angry, and just want to prove him wrong. Oh, and now I refuse to feel bad about what he said pre-baby about it feeling like MH was "stealing me away" from him and my mother and siblings, because we don't visit them as often as they want us to. No, we don't visit you as much as you want us to because you live in the middle of Buttfuck Nowhere, and it's an hour's drive from the edge of town, even in great weather conditions.

Her feet are huge!
Regular onsies yes
@imalear01 Should I invest in the nosefrida? Is it 1 filter per use/nostril? I still have an inside baby, but it seems so questionable to me...
