@MonstoMommy I just found out that they put the wrong pediatrician on my DD medical card so I can't take her in to get the flu shot and the problem won't be taking care of for 2 weeks, if I'm lucky! So since I was told it could take up to 2 weeks for immunity to build up, I'm taking her to the health department today when she gets home from school! Just in case LO comes early. The last damn thing I'm going to deal with after pregnancy is a newborn with the flu! Needless to say DD is not happy about it.
Apparently my doctor has been on call for the last 3 weeks straight. So the likelihood of her delivering me at this point is slim.
She is literally on call 2 days next week. TWO. And my next appointment is after my due date and not with my OB cause she's completely booked up for the WHOLE entire week. So I get to discuss my induction options with another OB...
Hoping my kid does something in there so I'm more favorable for induction since that's the route I'm headed. Growth u/s Monday and appt on Wednesday.
My only good news? My doc won't let me be pregnant more than 41 weeks. So I will have a baby next week...
I let my kids paint today... what was I thinking? Im going to make dinner soon and take them to the inflatable bounce house so they can run around.. also, they spilled an entire kids sized all natural lemonade from wendys in my car and I used clean diapers to sop it up because thats all I had..
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.
Soooo...are midwives magical unicorns too? Today at my appt mw said "Wowzers! Baby's head is extremely low in your pelvis. Great news for labor, but I'm sorry for you because that must be painful walking around!" She figured all this out just from feeling around externally?!
Those white frames are too plain to go with this little set up aren't they?? They're all going to hang on the wall together.. but I think it needs something more than the white..

Nope. They are perfect. Don't fall for the trap of too much.

Also, I am now bumping from L&D. Baby boy's heartbeat dropped during a contraction while we were doing his non stress test so they are monitoring us for 2-3 hours to make sure he's ok.

T&P everything works out for the best! Glad you are in the right place to take care of your LO.
Board seems quiet today. This is unacceptable as I am choosing to be lazy beyond belief and need entertainment.
I thought this, too (but I've been at appointments and getting my hairs did today, so I am not helping the quiet factor), but I was scared to say it, for some of the undesirables will come out of the woodwork again.
I got a tdap shot for my birthday. My arm is so sore, I had forgotten what tetanus shots felt like...oof!
I ended up dragging DH to Target, too. I bought a whole bunch of stuff to go in my hospital bag, like slippers and a nursing tank and a big bath sheet and some travel-sized toiletries and a few other things we needed in general. DH thinks I'm crazy and tried to tell me that when he got to L&D on Friday night, some guy was coming up with a plastic bag and a pillow and that's it, so he doesn't understand why I need all this stuff.
Who the fuck only brings a plastic bag and a pillow to l&d? I think he was just bringing the the things they forgot.
@Jellybean813 congrats! Hopefully labor will get going a little quicker soon. I think you are having a boy. :-bd I'm surprised how many people are having their water break on it's own. I thought statistically this was rare.
I'm seriously debating just bringing a towel with me everywhere. Friends invited us over for football on Sunday and I'm so worried my water will break on their expensive sofa that I might just decline their invite.
Sorry I've been kinda MIA the last few days! I have been spreading love tits, tho!
Today is day three of hospitol bed rest, no fun! I had a really rough day yesterday, headache from hell & BP was all over the place too! I'm facing the hard decision of trying for a vaginal delivery or just going c section! Based on my health issues they are wanting me to deliver as close to 37 wks, which is Friday.
I'm NOT dilated, softening or effacing at all! So if I go vag it would most likely be a multiple day induction (starting Saturday) with a fair possibility of ending with a c section anyways. Or a vaginal delivery with baby A & possibly a c section for baby B, who is larger & has turned transverse again!
Or, I can just decide to go c section (scheduled, Monday @1:45pm) & skip the induction & labor altogether! I'm just so torn & having a really difficult time deciding what to do!
Then on top of all of this, my insurance company is being pricks & doesn't want to cover my stay here after the first 48 hrs! WTAF, are you kidding me, FUCK OFF insurance company! My OB, the hospitol & MFM all have gone to bat for me, written letters & are appealing it! Now I have to get involved & this is causing me unnecessary & added stress! I'm here due to BP, pre e & they are causing spikes in my BP! I'm just floored by their bullshit!
I just don't have the emotional or mental stamina to deal with this now considering everything else that is going on! I can feel my depression creeping back in & my anxiety levels have been peaking too! I've done really well without my meds thus far & keeping things in check! Now I feel like I'm in a tailspin!
I had A LOT of ugly cries yesterday, I'm hoping for a better day today! FX I have a some relief today & can get back to my zen place! I'd like to keep baking these babies till the last possible minute & not end up in an emergency c section!
Ok, sorry, bitch session over! If you read this entire post, you rock! Thanks lady's, I just needed to get this off my chest! Weaky face!
I'm sorry you are dealing with all of this and your insurance company is one big douche bag! I would say given your situation I would opt for the c-section. That way you don't have to stress about a multi - day induction or having one vaginal and one c-section.
DH invited his friend over to watch football on Sunday. I usually wouldn't mind but I will be 40.1 weeks. And he told him I was cooking Sunday dinner. The friend is a single soldier who doesn't get home cooked food often. DH doesn't think this baby is coming any time soon.
Oh heck no. Do you have any freezer meals you could whip out? My DH keeps inviting his friends over also, and I'm just like, don't expect me to be social or change out of my sweatpants...
I would give my dh "the look". The one that tells him I'm going to cut his eyeballs out with a spoon and he would cancel with his friends. I just told him that bumpies dh's are inviting friends over at the 11th hour and he even thought it was ridiculous and he's a guy (I've checked. Weaky face).
We got back from my disappointing 40 wk appt (no progress), went for a 2 mile walk, bounced on the yoga ball for an hour, had a snack of pineapple, and now to try sex round 2, and another walk after dinner.
"Operation Get This Kid Out" is in full force.
You will hate me for this...but you remind me of how I was with my first pregnancy. Tried everything to get baby out (sans dumb shit like castor oil) and DD was still 10 days late.

Haha, yeah...I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for that, without much success. It's especially frustrating because DH only has this week and next week off work, and then it's back to full time. And, my aunt and uncle have planned to come up from Kentucky on the 9th, and there's a chance LO will still be inside at that point. Argh.
I hear you. Going past your EDD is like the worst torture there is.
I have an appt with my MFM tomorrow for an ultrasound to check baby girl's size, and my regular weekly appointment. We haven't had an ultrasound since 30 weeks (I'll be 37+5 tomorrow) so I'm excited to see how much she's grown. Also, we may get to set an induction date tomorrow! I'm dying to know what day my baby will be here.
Really hoping DH gets home soon so he can finish dinner. I got it out and preheated the oven...but I have no energy to complete the meal. He likes to cook...come on hubby!
I just busted out a homemade apple pie! It smells delicious and it's killing me that I can't eat it til after dinner.
Also...I went shopping for my mom's birthday and then bought things for myself. Justifying it by the fact that they were on sale. And I did get her gift, so win - win?
Question: the grout in my bathtub needs to be cleaned. I know grout cleaning signifies nesting level 87. I am too far from my due date to be at nesting level 87. So, if I just spray the grout with some cleaner and let it sit there for a while, does that count as a lower nesting level, like 12 or something? Or do I just shower with my eyes closed and ignore the grout for a couple more weeks? I am also experiencing a need to get my office in order at work, but other than that, no other nesting indicators.
The other day I got out of the shower and decided I really needed to clean the shower right that minute so I got back in, scrubbed the shower and then washed off again.
I don't know if anyone watches RHONJ, but I just read Teresa was sentenced to 14 months in prison. I feel bad for her kids, but damn her and her husband are idiots.

I just saw this! I watch..can't help myself. Thinking of the stupid crap she would say, like she couldn't live in someone else's house and rolled her eyes, I have zero sympathy for them.

I'm tired. Just go with it.
Maybe wear depends just in case?
