  I hope I find out soon if these contractions are the real deal before I attempt eviction sex. What do you time again? The beginning of one to the beginning of the other? God I remember nothing. I should have read stuff.

  SO: what's wrong?
  Me: I'm tired.
  SO: why don't you go to bed?
  
  What I would like to say: because if I go sleep upstairs while you're holding our daughter downstairs, I know you won't wake me up to feed her and you'll just let her suck on your finger because you don't want to stop holding her.
  
  Outside baby problems.
  Also it feels like the ring of fire every time I pee, and I can't control my farts in any way shape or form. Good thing my daughter is cute, worth it

  Why do my boobs look so good?
  Then I peed on a stick...

  I think I might be having contractions but I can't really tell a definitive beginning and end. Does that mean they aren't real contractions? This seemed like it would be easier when I was reading about it in books but it's not that clear cut! I'm afraid I'm either going to be the girl who cries wolf for false labor a million times or the girl who has a baby in her bathroom.

  I think (depending on your clinic) it's 5-1-1: contractions 5 mins apart, lasting one minute (beginning to end), for the duration of one hour.

  This is me too. Pretty sure it's false. When it's real labor I assume there will be no question lol.

  Counting all my blessings tonight. We spent the day out of town today and got caught in a white out. The highway was slippery and the semi in front of us jack knifed. We spun out in attempt to miss it, thankfully we did and we're okay. Happy to be home with my babies.

  Today was pretty busy and semi productive around here. We finally got the car seat bases installed in both of our vehicles! Went to my niece's tball game, sterilized pacifiers and bottles, and went to my sister's house to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday. I'm exhausted now, and I managed to get a sunburn, so it may be an early night

  So this just happened.
  
  Alera: *squalling for food, but won't latch to breast*
  Me: Guess I'll express some to try to entice her. *squeezes breast gently* Okay, there we go, got some out. Uh... oh, wait! Whoa!
  DH: What?
  Me: My let-down is super fast, no wonder she's reluctant to latch!
  DH: Um, okay?
  Me: It means my milk comes out too fast in the beginning. I need a burp cloth! Ack!
  DH: What? Why?
  Me: It won't stop! Holy crap!!

  I'm going to embrace a sense of entitlement for the rest of pregnancy. If I have to be 41 weeks pregnant and miserable, it seems reasonable to me. Today consisted of long naps, coffee, gardening (patio- so just a few planters), and Thai food. Luckily DH pretty much likes everything I do, so he's not upset. I did inform him that he's painting my toenails tonight. He gets to pick the color.
  
  Did I marry the coolest guy or what?!

  CONFESSION:
  
  I know I probably should have known this but I'm sharing my stupidity anyway. Just got home from a party, getting undressed and gave my zipples the ol' squeeze-one-two (as I've been doing out of curiosity the last little while as I've had no sign of anything) and SHIT CAME OUT...of my areolas!
  
  I feel like I'm in the 5th grade learning about puberty, I legitimately thought milk and colostrum came out of your nipple and nowhere else. My mind is blown.
  
  Good times

  Super productive last couple of days. Major cleaning spree in our house, everything but our bathroom is tidied up (that gets hit tomorrow). Mom arrived today, taught DSS how to clean & organize his room (for the 100th time), cooked, took us to costco, and plans to vacuum the house for us tomorrow. DH put together the swing and my nursing stool. I have one final load of baby laundry (swaddlers and washclothes) left to wash and we are completely ready for Tommy! There's some organization I wanna try with my mom, but I can do that supervising from a chair with baby if absolutely necessary. 

  
  

  Feels good to be pretty much ready, but nerve wracking at the same time because holy crap I have one more day before my scheduled C-section! Having an end date is kind of a mind fuck. I'm nervous about the surgery, nervous about recovery, worried about the neuro tests they'll be running after Tommy gets here, and so on....

  We will be thinking of you! If I don't get a chance before hand, I hope it all goes well! Hugs!

  I had every I tent ion of being super productive yesterday...
  
  I helped DH trim our goats hooves then showered and even shaved my legs! This gave me some period like cramps.
  
  Then I passed out for several hours.
  
  I got half the dishes done id planned on doing and folded none of the laundry...this must mean I'm not ready to nest and baby is staying put for now.
  
  @dani+california‌ I thought it just came from your nipple as well... How far out on the aeriola are we talking?

  I've had sporadic contractions all day yesterday (and very few BH before that, ever) and they were getting very strong and fairly regular last night up until I had some kind of bloody show (I know, I'm sorry) and everything just stopped. What the ever living fuck? I'm clearly making progress here, why are we taking a break? Has this happened to anyone? How do I jump start this shit again?!

  @Ashleypixie - I'm sorry for your frustration - it sucks donkey balls. I've been having that for 2 weeks now, and my cervix isn't progressing at all. It is a nasty mind game. If you continue to struggle with it, you can vent on the "Coping with early/prodromal labor" thread, or you can join my Facebook support group called "Prodromal Labor Support Group". The longer it lasts, the harder it is to deal with. Thank you, @KendraColeslaw for mentioning this!!  :x

  I'm jealous of these women that are having their water break, arriving at the hospital all but fully dilated and then pushing only for a few minutes. My pregnancy has been super easy, I know it wouldn't be fair, but can I have an easy labor too?

  @pineconey‌ good morning love. I'm thinking of you today. Try to have a good day and I hope labor is near. I wake up more and more depressed everyday when I realize the cramps and contractions I've been feeling the night before is just false labor.
