  My appointment and ultrasound today sucked.... 

  
  

  Also, I was told that I need to start talking about getting induced next week..... Great. 

  
  

  I'm a high risk and now I'm just pissed. My little girl has been acting different lately. Maybe she is getting ready to come out. 

  
  

  4 days till my due date.

  I'm a ball of emotions. Been crying all day off and on. I'm scared, nervous, sad, and excited. i'm nervous how the induction will turn out. Sad to leave Owen. His world (our world) is about to change so much, and unfortunately he doesn't understand, and I wish he did. I'm sad this chapter in my life is coming to an end. My 'birth plan' is thrown out the window! Just not how I envisioned my last birth to go. Wish i was able to enjoy this time, but I can't. Excited to meet my baby, and hopefully end all my aches and pains.
  I cried going to my last mfm. Going to miss all those ladies. Cried seeing my baby on the screen one last time. Cried feeling his movements. Cried putting Owen down for a nap. Last time that'll happen just the two of us. I'm sure I'm not done crying. Lol.
  
  Anyway, yes.... I'm going through with it. I'm packing everything now, getting things set up for baby, cleaned my car, cleaning up the house. I'm taking my time. I have no motivation, but shit needs to get done. Wish my H was home so he can help. Hopefully soon, because I'm tired.... And I just want to supervise him doing things. Haha.
  
  I hope 645 am comes very slowly.
  
  It won't though. I doubt I'll get any sleep. I just hope and pray that it'll go quick! I plan to get an epidural now, so hopefully that way I can relax, watch TV, bump, nap ect. ...

  Those who nurse in the Moby, how do you manage this? Do you put a cover/blanket over the top?

  I just slide her down sideways from the newborn hold so that she's low enough to nurse, and she's covered by the wrap. If I position it right, I can see her face from above, but people can't around me. When she's finished nursing, I pull her back upright.
  I think it's easiest to wear a tank top under a shirt so that I can pull up the shirt, then pull down the tank top. The only part of me that's exposed is my breast, and it's covered by the wrap (and LO's head).
  It definitely take practice, but is worth it! Good luck!

  Good luck, @LaBellaVida‌! Hope you can get some rest tonight, and that you're feeling better tomorrow.
  I think I understand a bit of what you're going through--completely didn't feel ready for my induction, and shed a LOT of tears beforehand. By the time DD arrived, I finally felt ready to meet her. And, by the time we got home, everything really did feel right. I hope that you have a similar experience (and an easy induction!).
  Good luck! Because, ahhh, you're having a baby tomorrow!!!

  I'm sorry @labellavida, I can relate a little bit. I wasn't enjoying my pregnancy, but getting induced from ground zero wasn't how I wanted to end it all. Good luck tomorrow, and I hope this doesn't set you up for PPD. I'm sure it'll go quickly for you though!

  @LaBellaVida‌ I hear you totally on the sadness for Owen and the apprehension- I promise as you saw in those videos Owen's life will be even better with this lo in it- they will be best friends bc they are so close in age- we gave them that gift! And I know your not getting the birth plan you want but I think going into it with the attitude that might as well enjoy the epidural like you said is going to help you tremendously. We will all be here bumping with you and praying for a quick and healthy delivery of your son. Feel free to reach out whenever as I'm now up all hours of the day! Text or bump or fb- whatever works best for
  You!!

  Dh has worse baby brain than I do, we made plans for him to take ds to his ot appointment so I wasn't rushing to my doctor's appointment. They leave, I straighten up the house but I cannot find my keys, no biggie, I look for my spares. I get into the street and my car is not there but his is. Yup he took my car and he has a stick shift so I cannot take his. I call him up and he had to leave ds appointment early sohe could come back to get me. I'm normally there early and I was 15 min late. I was so embarrassed. At least she told me that my 5 hours of contractions the other day that went no where seem to have turned baby into a better position :-)
