    I have no clue what position my baby is in. I also would never be able to say something like, the baby kicked/pushed my cervix because I would have no idea that this was happening. I am also jealous of people who can tell these things:)
    If I didn't ask the doctors to tell me when they felt her at my appointments, I wouldn't be sure either. But they will confirm if you ask, and this has been helpful too:

    FFFC: I have no idea what the baby's heartbeat sounds like. My third kid and the doppler still just sounds like noise. I just smile and nod when the dr checks it.

    Ha! This is my third as well so I feel like I "should" know these things.

    MH has been oddly attached to me lately. He has only gone to the gym twice this week and he usually goes between 5 and 6 days a week. He is just laying in bed with me or on the couch. I also feel like he has been "hanging" on me. He doesn't seem to be depressed and I've asked him, but he swears he is fine. I don't know if I'm being hormonal and irritable, but I really just want space. I would be fine of he sat on his couch and I sat on my recliner and we communicated from a distance. I guess a good word for this is he's being a bit "clingy". Is it possible for the husband's to nest?

    Mine got like that towards the end with DS. I think he was trying to soak up the last days of just us.

    That makes perfect sense. And I don't think he has a clue what he is doing

    It's a BOY

    FFFC: I'm upset that DH has gained more weight since I've been pregnant. He even went to the Dr.'s when he was sick and was surprised at what he weighed, but hasn't done anything about it. I worked really hard to lose my baby weight last time, and feel like he has not made the same effort. I wish I could just flat out tell him he needs to lose weight without sounding like the most shallow b* ever. But I don't like confrontation so I won't say anything at all.
    I'm in the same boat as you.  We had our life insurance health checks and DH was surprised by how much he weighs and his blood pressure was super high, so high that his premiums are really expensive now.  Has he done anything about it? Nope.  Even though he keeps saying he's going to.

    FFFC: snip.

    I feel ya. My husband keeps joking about how his belly is getting even bigger than mine. It stopped being amusing around 18 weeks. If I can fit in a couple workouts a week while 34 weeks pregnant, then so can you! Oh, and shave your overgrown beard, Sloppy McSloppersons. I haven't said anything about it, though. Other than that I think it's really sexy when his hair/beard is shorter, which got me nowhere.


    Oh yes, the over-grown beard has made its appearance in our house too! I told him once that he should trim it down and I got this in response: "well now it's going to stay this way for another day." (insert eye roll).

    I'm not looking forward to telling DH lets not call his mom until baby is here.  The only other person I would want in the LDR would be my mom at any given time up until time for birth.  I don't want to see my MIL until the baby is here.  Unfortunately my DH has issues with my mom and won't understand why his mom would have to wait.  No sense for her to drive all the way down here to wait a long time, plus she probably would need someone else to drive her.  I just want my mom to be backup in case DH needs to eat or whatever. 

    Ugh this. My MIL has made it very clear several times that she fully expects to be in the room with us. To be honest, I barely know her. DH will be ok telling her but her feelings will be so hurt. Andplusalso, I don't want my immediately-newborn around her smoky smell. :( It's not like I'm going to let anyone but DH hold him for the first hour or so anyway.

    I am also Team No One At the Hospital But Us.  We just did our tour last night and the hospital doesn't have a limit on who can be in the room during labor and they allow 3 people during delivery! 

    Um, thanks, but no thanks.  This is not an event I want people seeing except for DH.  We are thinking we are not even going to tell our families we are going to the hospital because they live 5 minutes away and they will try and show up.  Also, MIL was an LVN in L&D at this hospital a while back, so she thinks she knows everything.  I don't really want her up in my lady parts or harassing my doctor and nurse.
    Totally know what you mean; my mom was a NICU nurse but hasn't worked in 10 years and thinks she knows everything about L&D. Sorry mom but you won't be allowed in the delivery room because you'll be all up in everyone's business.  We're also on team no one but us until we're moved to a postpartum room!

    I guess this is more of a UO on the FFFC board but.... My MIL is awesome! Haha. Both her and my mom live 2.5 hours away and they both told us to just let me know when we want them to come down. This definitely saved that awkward situation that some of you seem to be having to deal with. Sorry, all! :-??

    –--------------------------- ETA: Stuck in the box..

    DH recently started working with my dad and uncle and they always like to joke around. I noticed DH's beard getting way too long, but I didn't want to be the nit-picky nagging wife so I kept waiting for him to trim it. Finally I couldn't take it anymore and tried to casually mention trimming his beard. Turns out they had a bet/joke that he wouldn't trim his beard until I said something, they were trying to see how long he could get it before I made him trim it. After that, I had no problem telling him to go cut his shaggy hair! :)

    My FFFC: I cried the night I found my first stretch mark. Then I woke up the next morning and cried some more. I have them all over my butt and thighs but having them on my belly makes me feel like they're front and center. Like a bullseye. I'm still hiding them from DH. :((

    @libbylu7 I totally agree with you I have an awesome MIL. She won't be in the delivery room with me. I'm going to limit the number of people that see me in that state to the professionals, my husband cause he helped make me this way, and my mother cause hell if I came out of here I'm not worried about her seeing my daughter come out of me. That being said it's both my in-laws first grandchild so as much as I think they're going to be bored sitting around in the waiting room I wouldn't want to tell them they can't. They've been extrememly helpful as my family is far away and they're local. But I did warn my husband that they are going to have a naked baby sitting on his topless wife for a good while after the birth so his parents might not be able to come in right away. He got the picture and totally agreed. But they get along well with my mom so I'll send her out to sit with them and gush and show some pictures.

    I"m going to miss my maternity jeans.  I love them!  Best fitting jeans I've had for a while. 

    not going to lie, i'm totally going to miss just pulling up my pants and not messing with a zipper and button!

    Yes to this, I'm most likely going to walk around with my zipper down for the first few months until I get back into the "putting on regular people pants" habit!

    I bought a pineapple upside down cake pop and a doughnut from a local bakery, intending on taking both home and offering DH his choice as a sweet Friday treat. Yeah, I totally ate both already and won't be telling DH about my little excursion.
    I just bought a 4 pack of Cadbury eggs thinking they would be a treat over the next couple of days......I just ate my third in two hours
    I brought in Munchkins from DD for my department meeting. People ate like 4 of them total...and yet, the box is somehow half empty after sitting on my desk since 11am.

    *Edited to explain to people who don't have it in their region that DD is Dunkin Donuts.

    DH and I have only had sex once in the past 8 months.  It's awful but it's 100% because I'm not into it.  The worst part is, now that we're getting towards the end, I know we'll have to to "get things started" in a few weeks and I feel huge!
    You're 1 ahead of us!

    I had zero desire for the majority of the time and now that the drive is actually coming back, I feel like the logistics of it are just too awkward/uncomfortable so I can't be bothered to try.

    Team No Sex over here too. FFFC: wed was DH's birthday and I was thrilled that his birthday beej took like 90 seconds. Hooray for sex droughts!
    FFFC: DH hasnt gotten a BJ or HJ from me at all this pregnancy (we had sex a couple of times and it sucked). Our 2 year anniversary is tomorrow... and I really dont think he will get any then either. We are so out of sync that neither of us wants/has the patience to wait on the other person to warm up to the idea.

    Not only do I pee with my toddler in the bathroom but I also poop with her in there. Trying to keep her out causes way too much drama. And since she wants to do everything I do (brush her teeth, her hair, drink out of my glass, etc) I really hope that will help with potty training like @Kimbus22 said.


    I kept wearing my maternity pants for a good 4-6 months after I had DD. I love bicycle commuting in maternity pants and not having to worry about my butt crack showing!


    FFFC: Ever since I've been unemployed and turned SAHM, I started only showering every other day!

    My MIL usually doesn't cause drama - but I hate how she doesn't appreciate MH even though he has done so much for her. She always has the weirdest comments. Last time she was over at our house for dinner I served pelmeni. Her comment was "I'm glad your cooking skills are improving, I guess." My FFFC is: Neither DH nor I will tell her when I am in labor. We will be calling her after the baby is born. I am also bringing extra clothes for LO for the time she visits. I hate that she constantly smells like dirty dogs and cigs - I don't want to smell that on my precious little angel.

    @Kimbus22 (snipped the quotes out)  Yeah, it was me semi-serious about taking back the bathroom.  The clarification helped, and you make a good point that I've only begun thinking about. 

    I don't know much about how potty training works, and figured there's not really anything to see aside from me sitting there.  Although now that I stop and think about it, Benjamin might find the idea of sitting there educational since he doesn't appear to recognize that the toilet is more or less the same shape as a chair.  I've gotten as far as looking up signs of readiness, and seeing that usually it starts at some point after age 2. 

    So really, secondary confession: I'm ostriching about potty training since Benjamin isn't showing any signs of readiness yet.

    Last night, on the way out to dinner I was walking down the stairs into the garage and slipped, missed the last step and fell flat on my ass. H saw and looked over like I had just cut my hand off; pure horror. But all I could do was laugh because the fall caused me to pee. A lot. Like full on little kid accident style. So when he asked if I was ok all I could muster up was "Yea I'm fine I just peed myself a little." 
    I had literally just gone to the bathroom, I'm still not really sure what happened.
    I'm glad you are okay! Are you sure your water didn't break? ;)
    The thought did cross my mind. And I Googled it. Maybe the one time Dr G actually eased my fears. It was 100% pee.  Also, I smelled it to be sure.  :-&
