Still pregnant and trying to be Zen not miserable. Anyone else? Come in!

Re: Still pregnant and trying to be Zen not miserable. Anyone else? Come in!
I hope someone is able to find their zen today. I'm not seeing a whole lot of it on this thread today.
Creepy internet stranger hugs for everyone struggling with today. I feel ya, mamas.
#2 It's a Boy! EDD 3/23/14
I am sorry for all you ladies struggling today and am glad I missed the drive by. I would have been mad too! I am actually really zen today. I got some much needed girl time with me best friend who I only get to see once every few months and I haven't laughed so much or so hard in what feels like forever! She always puts me in a good mood
Second point--it's easier to be zen with no signs of labor. I am crampy today and am having a hard time staying zen, since I know that it most likely will just go away.
All of this. I'm having braxton hicks and also what I can only guess are contractions today, but only like 4-5 within one hour while I was trying to sleep in, and then they stopped. If this baby is going to come he had better do it before the massive storm on Wednesday. Otherwise I don't want to see him until the weekend at the earliest. I just feel so blah today.
We still have not heard from @Invane00?
After my blender EXPLODING my smoothie all over myself and my kitchen, zen was restored by bar pizza, gourmet cupcake shop, and uninterrupted undistracted time with DH. These ups and downs are crazy!!
I wish I knew if my pineapple was making a difference. It's starting to burn my mouth, even though it's so sweet. And my roommate is pissing me off. Way too hard to be zen right now. Why does she feel the need to check in with me like I'm actually a family member? IDGAF where you're going, IDGAF what you're doing, and hell no I do not want to talk to you every time I see you. You're a grown ass woman, go make some friends and let me wish for labor in peace. -___-;;
I skipped Meeting because I decided that 30 Quaker ladies asking me questions about my pregnancy would drive me up a tree.
Instead I met my best friend for lunch and ate some amaaaaaaaazing eggs benedict. We lingered over coffee and then went to the Vermont Antiquarian Book Fair where I bought a signed broadside of a gorgeous poem by one of my favorite poets. *swoon*
One random person commented on how I looked like I was due any day and I agreed. Then she said "just don't have the baby here!" which is one of my least favorite comments because I wish it was that easy! What I said, in a fairly pleasant tone, was, "Don't worry, it doesn't work like that. This is not like Alien; the baby isn't going to suddenly burst forth out of my abdomen in a gory gush." Then I walked away. ;-)
MH had gone out ice fishing and then brought his catch to his friend who owns a Thai restaurant; the friend accepted the fish happily and gave us a generous bag full of takeout Thai to have later for dinner.
It is FINALLY SUNNY here and I might try to go for a walk again in a bit.
Oh andplusalso this morning before lunch I finished not one but TWO Agatha Christie mysteries.
Life is good. Even though I'm still pregnant. ;-)
What kind of cupcake? That sounds tasty! If MH helps me clean the kitchen first I am now tempted to bake a cake tonight.
I vote for baby moth.

I have soooooo many happy thoughts headed your way! I don't mind being checked on by those who I am close to. But total rando's piss me off to no end! I'm sorry your roommate won't GTFO. That's how "Patrice" was for me, and I literally had to put myself on maternity leave so I didn't end up strangling her. Hopefully you can find some zen! Or contractions!
Eeeeeek! Good luck and keep us posted! Obviously I am secretly thinking "you, bitch!"
RIP Dr. Irving Fishman - 10/1/19-7/25/10 - thank you for holding on for me.
You made my wedding day complete.
Hopefully this is a sign that the rest of us will start to follow
Pick me pick me next too!
Keep sharing your zen vibes so I can live vicariously through you all!!
Twenty minutes ago it was an ugly cry, ten minutes ago it was an angry silence glaring a hole in my bedroom wall, and now it's defeated, on-the-verge-of-tears exhaustion.
I'm now genuinely concerned about the possibility of PPD, with my history of regular depression...
Just knowing I have both of those things lined up and ready to go makes me feel MUCH calmer.
Drink some whole milk or a milk shake. Sorry it is so bad.

@kkranberry - the lactic acid in milk makes mine worse... When it gets like this there is nothing I have ever tried that makes it better. Just have to wait for it to pass. Ugh! The only cure I see is getting this baby out and letting my stomach return to normal!
