So now I'm all paranoid about the water breaking deal. I've been wearing panty liners every day for months, so I definitely notice discharge, but I would notice a leak right? Or not? Maybe I shouldn't wear liners from here out? Ugh, why can't there be a one-size-fits-all plan for birthing a child. Like, here's what will happen, on this day, at this time, rainbows and unicorns all around.
I think about this too but I just have to believe that I will know if something is up. I can't sit around freaking out and watching for signs.
Well the "didn't know her water broke at 7 mos. and baby ran out of amniotic fluid and died" post really scared the shit out of me.
Yeah that was pretty terrifying. However, I messaged my OBGYN SIL the other day and asked her how common it was to miss a fluid leak. She said it's extremely rare. That was good to hear.
@FamousEA your new siggy pic scares the crap out of me every single time I see it.
@spurp13 We only use our humidifier during the winter when the air is dry, and DH leaves it on a dresser in a tupperware container. I asked him if ours has major condensation/sweating and he said not really, he leaves it in the container to protect the wood in the event any dripping occurs. He asked if you bought a high quality one as apparently that can have something to do with how much they "sweat". (He's obsessed with humidifiers.)
5 cycles of "TTC" - 3 intentional, 2 not so intentional. 5 BFPs. My rainbow arrived 10/15/14. TFMC 08.02.13 at 19+ weeks. Everyday I grieve for my little Olive.
I just went pee and my tp had the whole "blown nose" appearance.. and I ate outback so im probably going to have the shits.. labor is undoubtedly imminent..

I just sent DH out on a run for a Pumpkin Spice Chai from Starbucks (fyi, I'm lactose intolerant), and some McDonald's (mmmm, fries and grease). I keep telling myself it's all in the name of not being backed up, is better than taking medication, and therefore is actually a health benefit.....right?!
I didn't even know Pumpkin Spice Chai was a thing. I need one ASAP. Sounds amazing.
I don't know that it's an actual thing. But I always order my chai and then ask them to add 2 or 3 pumps (Grande or Venti) of the Pumpkin Spice to it. I love it! I don't drink coffee, but love the pumpkin spice, and this works well with iced or hot!

I was told that the pumpkin spice syrup has dairy in it.....
Well, the truth of the matter is, I just order my chai with non-fat milk. I'm counting on it to, um, help 'clean me out' without the use of laxatives. Sorry for the TMI I can do limited dairy (pizza MUST have cheese on it) so if I'm only having one chai every couple of days I'm usually ok. Unfortunately I can't stand soy milk, and Starbucks doesn't carry almond milk
In other news, we finally just got home from the hospitol. I have a new respect for people that have long stays at the hospitol. Our nurses were fabulous but man it is good to be out.
I am now patiently waiting for pizza hut to deliver. I found a coupon. I might as well live it up and eat terribly the last 2 weeks of pregnancy since I sure won't be able to after LO comes.

Derp....I dunno. Probably not high quality. It was suggested on Amazon under baby shit.

I've been having weird discharge for a week but nothing that screamed mucus plug. I don't know what I'm doing.

I hate you because my Pizza Hut won't do carryout. But I did have Little Caesar's and it was good in the "this is good but we won't eat this for another 20 years" way.
@Spurp13 They don't do delivery either? What kind of Pizza Hut doesn't do carry out or delivery!? I'm not a huge fan of Little Caesar's. I don't mind their crazy bread though (I think that's what it's called....).
We spent three hours this afternoon walking downtown. I had to stop multiple times due to discomfort and pressure. As soon as we got home, I made sis take a nap (she had been up since 4), and I passed out, too. It was one of those I'm-so-glad-I-slept-but-I-feel-like-crap naps.
We are driving home from buying curtains which necessitated new rods. Well, we took DH's convertible with two tiny trunks, SOOOO, the curtain rods are sitting in the front seat with me. This wasn't a smart impromptu mission.

My husband is sick this weekend. Yesterday he was milking it so hard but I have a hard time being sympathetic because he's SO pitiful when he has the slightest of symptoms. Took his temp this morning and it's just under 101. Ughhhhhhhh. I'm due on Thursday and he gets some sort of cold/flu??? Yes, I'm selfishly saying "why is he doing this to me NOW?"
I need to AW one more time DD2 Halloween costume. Currently she loves curious george and monkeys in general. I picked up a hoodie from the consignment store and felt, and sewed the pieces on. She also has brown pants to go with it.

Flipping through netflix I just found they have all 6 seasons of Californication! I stopped watching after season 3 because Showtime is expensive, but I LOVE that show! Now I know what I'll do with my maternity leave time before LO comes! \:D/
Also, I have a weird question. I was in the shower yesterday and I was all, what if my water breaks now? Will I know? What if I'm showering or swimming or something and it breaks. Do contractions always start up afterwards? WHAT IF I DONT KNOW? Will I know?

@Cantisa We're doing good! I spent a lot of time resting today. Then we had visitors that just left. We took Tes' 2 week birthday picture today. According to TB she would have been the size of a pumpkin, so we went and picked out a baby sized pumpkin and dressed her up in it. I will have to post it when the husband gets it off the camera.
We're currently waiting for sushi to arrive and I plan on spending the evening watching Ink Master.
Sorry, been MIA a lot over the last month. I am a bad bumpie.
I have one doc appointment standing in between me and my due date..
And they don't have me on the schedule for the week after my due date. I guess that's good? So in case I need to be induced I can pick any date? I just want my whopper baby to come without us putting a time limit on her!!

How often are you swimming?! Lol
I'm not planning on my water breaking being the indicator that I'm in labor. I'm banking on contractions giving it away. You and I are so close to our due dates that I think we will just know. (Feels weird saying that cuz I already have a kid but never went in actual labor)
Well I wont be swimming but what if I'm in a bath?! I just hope contractions start and give it away.. :-S
All I've done today is shower, lay on the couch, nap, watch football, hang out on this board, and have my husband fetch random food for me. I should feel lazy but I figure taking a shower was as productive as I'm gonna get. I might take another nap after I eat this brownie.

I'm more excited about the leftovers being my lunch tomorrow

The kids are loving every second of her, though!
Quite the spectacle. Good thing it's dark.

These last few days will be a complete mind game.
