I judge people by their grammar. I try to type properly. And I know the difference between nauseous and nauseated, but still prefer to use it incorrectly. I give myself a pass because I see it as a choice. I don't give others that pass. Hypocrite, right here!

Heh I just used "nauseated" in a post because DH gives me crap about it!
I feel a pang of disappointment every morning I wake up not in labour, I know I'm being ridiculous but I really just want to meet LO and also avoid my induction on Monday just So I can have the freedom to labour in bath/shower if I want to..
I'm having a really hard time smiling for the camera (my patients or anyone who comes in) who are not in labor. Or the ones who are just "sick of being pregnant" and come for a labor check. I want to direct them to our thread. And also yell GO HOME I AM JUST AS PREGNANT AS YOU! Not my finest empathetic moments :-S
TTC: 1/2014
BFP: 9/24
EDD: 6/8/2015
Sorry for the poor man's siggy...ticker won't load regardless of how many tips I read.
I stayed up late waiting for DH to get home from work last night planning for some sexy time. I got shot down and cried myself to sleep which is probably a bit dramatic( he didn't know he just said he was tired). When he turned me down I said you know I could go into labor at any point now and it's going to be weeks before you get it again. His response; you can do other things. That pissed me off.
And then I'm up an hour earlier than I need to be cause even though we've had this puppy for 3 weeks he still hasn't figured out the first thing he has to do is take the damn dog out in the morning. So he showered instead and the dog was howling in his crate first thing this morning. Needless to say I'm definitely not pleased.
Mine is kind of mean: generally speaking, I'm not a fan of old people, aside from my grandparents. I think they're rude and talk about their medical problems too much. I still try to be polite and respectful and all that but yeah I'm not a fan. Some people don't like kids, I don't like old people.
And I'm totally with @amark11 on the grammar thing. Also, spelling.
My confession is that I got excited when my doctor brought up inducing at 39 weeks and I'm really hoping that I'm dilated a little next week so that this would be our plan. I'm ashamed because I never wanted to be induced, but now the idea doesn't seem so bad. I'm just ready for him to be here, and 39 weeks is the week I was hoping for his arrival anyway.
My other confession is we haven't picked a name and I'm kind of hoping we don't. We have it narrowed down to four, and I feel like after DH sees me labor and get this kid out, he'll let me choose. So selfish, I know! Haha.
I super look forward to the perineal massage each day... Don't get me wrong it is way uncomfortable and burns still but I feel like this is something that may actually prepare me for being in labor for the first time, both physically and mentally. DH says it is helpful for him to practice cueing me to relax and all that too.
When a forty year old man plops himself In a wheelchair for his "belly pain" and allows a 37 week pregnant woman to push him around for said "belly pain" I have to admit I kinda wanna tell him off.
My compassion as a nurse is teetering at the end of this pregnancy as most of my EMERGENCY room patients are not emergent. Usually have much more tolerance but lately I wanna say "suck it up". Speaking of which I have to work tonight and tomorrow so I better find my compassion button and turn it on.
I really would like to go into labour today or tomorrow, not because I'm uncomfortable, but because mil is going in for dental surgery and will be TKO'd for most of the weekend. It would be a good excuse to call someone else to come watch DS (inlaws live 5min away).
Don't get me wrong, my inlaws are lovely people, but they are just too all up in my business sometimes and it would be nice to have someone else know something before them for once.
I put on a movie today when my daughter wasn't even asking so that she would let me rest on the couch. She just wanted me to play but I'm so tired and sore!
On the plus side, we are going on a play date this afternoon so she'll get lots of playtime but I really try to avoid the TV as a babysitter thing.

So I kinda posted about this last night in the weekly randoms thread but it got swallowed up by the gif instructional. The confession is I am kind of creeped out by the thought of breastfeeding, especially the first time with others in the room. I tried explaining it to FI last night and he couldn't understand why it would make me uncomfortable, so I said imagine if you had to feed the baby by letting it suck on your balls........ You can't imagine how that might be a little uncomfortable to transition to?
I'm hoping motherly hormones come and wipe out my awkwardness.

That is the PERFECT way to explain it! Definitely borrowing next time DH rolls his eyes about me being shy about visitors (particularly male visitors) when I'm learning how to feed baby.
@serenamarr i feel the same too. Especially being a FTM and everyone knows I have no effing clue what i'm doing. I want to feed her like a boss lady who knows what she's doing. Hoping i can do as much of it in private till i get the hang of it
@serenamarr I felt this way for a long time as well. Boobies are very sexualized in our world. Maybe your feelings will change as it becomes part of your reality to either BF or pump on a regular basis. Or maybe not. My mom didn't breast feed at all because she thought it was gross. Not that she couldn't, or didn't know the benefits...nope she just thought it was weird. I managed to pull off a productive and stable life so...it will be fine whatever you do!
Even though I'm a little scared that LO is going to be not so little, I'm secretly thrilled because DH'S dad is always talking like the baby is only taking after his side of the family and not MILs or my side. I'm fairly tall, especially compared to the people in his family and the doctor said that it sounds like baby is taking after me. Stupid, but it makes me happy.
@Serenamarr This is my 3rd child and will be my 1st attempt at breastfeeding for the very same reason. Up until now, the thought of breastfeeding has always creeped me out and seemed extremely awkward. It never bothered me that other moms did it, but for me it was just totally weird.
I'm not sure what changed for me, but it was like a light switch when I found out I was pregnant this time. I'm actually getting excited about the thought of nursing. Of course, I also want plenty of time in private to get the hang of it but I REALLY want it to work.
I will add, if it doesn't work out I will not feel guilty about formula feeding. Both of my daughters were exclusively formula fee and they are healthy and thriving at ages 6 and 4.
My FI ex gf is a creeper! She likes to call/text him to find out if I'm in labor or how I'm doing. Bitch, I don't like you. I just tolerate you because I have to, and it's the grown up thing to do. I don't want to be your friend on Facebook, I don't want to sit and talk to you about giving birth, and I certainly don't wan to hear old stories of you and my now fiancé. It's just wired. Also, you may NOT hold our baby.
Maybe I'm being a little childish, but I don't want her holding our baby. That's weird to me. The fact that she still comes into our home and makes herself comfy is bizarre to me. I don't care if you used to live here or not. It's not your house anymore.
@SweetnessG I would feel the SAME exact way. That is extremely weird to me. The last thing I want is an ex in my life, don't care how good or bad things ended. Eek...sorry you have to deal with that! You certainly are holding it together better than I would because I probably would've flipped by now.

I am going to try it but as opposed to how many people feel, I do not find breastfeeding natural. I plan on having the lactation consultant in to help and my DH. Nobody else, unless a doctor or nurse needs to be in the room. I am very firm about no family being in the room for it
@kzeas01 if he didn't have a 9 year old daughter, I would have flipped already. I have told him in the past how awkward and uncomfortable it is. He does make every attempt to stop her at the door and to keep her from coming into the house, but she's crazy. If he tells her that it's not cool to come into the house, she will start acting like a two year old and take everything to the extreme. She's very dramatic for someone who is 40. She calls him to tell him about her doctors appointment. NO ONE CARES, LADY!!! Gah, it makes me crazy!!!! This isn't even the half of it, lol.
Thanks for the support, ladies. Glad to know I'm not the only one a little uncomfortable with the idea of it. I'm gonna suck it up and try it for my son!

Ok, I'm done!
Hellz no I would not let her hold my baby and they have a 9 year old not a small child together. That is not a reason for her to be apart of your life. People have new lives and new families. That's normal. You don't have to be uncomfortable to please her. It's wonderful that he cares enough to coparent in peace buuut there should be boundaries. Again I am saying he is a good father for having a relationship with her mother but she should back wayyyyy off. I have 5 step children and I'd flip if she tried to do that.

You were totally my inspiration! And I am freaking out that you're in labor!!!!! Been thinking about you all day, sending you all the luck!
@Serenamarr I am very talented at helping mothers breastfeed at work...... But that doesn't mean that I'm not scared or wanting that to be private for my own experience. I'm even weirded out by males staying at my house (stepdad, dad, little brother, brother in law) and will always leave the room when I want to feed this baby.
I think once baby is here you will be able to seperate sexual connotations with your baby feeders(breasts) a little easier. I have a feeling.
I am pretty sure I have the best husband ever. But I honestly cannot stand sex right now and I feel so guilty for blowing him off. And I've tried doing just that (haha) nope he wants the whole shebang. I don't see what's so attractive about a woman with a huge belly who can't even roll over on her own. I'm so gross right now, just stop looking at me!!!!

I haven't done any dedicated research into this, but I get the impression that it's pretty common for men to find the pregnant shape attractive. Maybe it's the giant boobs?

This is terrible but I just laughed so hard!!!!!!!
I did this last week. I usually spend like 10 minutes on the toilet at work for alone time and rest. I feel guilty doing it anywhere else. Haha so sad.
