So, after my appt yesterday I am still at a 1cm yay :-? lol doctor told me sex sex sex 3 times a day ... ( ought to be fun!) People already started firecrackers/fireworks and my 4 year old keeps getting all jumpy lol he's scared, then he rubbed my belly and said "baby is scared" lol so cute!
Sitting at the dealership waiting on a oil change... hope it doesn't take forever. I am spending the day with my nephew until my family arrvies later then have a much needed pedi with my mom & sister, my sausage toes need some serious tlc.
I have been losing plug for the last 3 days. Baby needs to stay put until Monday when I have my ECV. If I go before then it is emergency c-section with no other options.
Sitting at the hospital right now because of decreased fetal movement. Its been driving me crazy these past couple of days because hes usually so active. But so far everything is good. Hes been moving a lot since I got here (of course) but I'm glad hes okay. Just waiting on some other tests to make sure hes not in stress and I'll be at ease.
Just sitting here thinking about eating a burger. I just don't want to get dressed and go out and get it. It's been a productive day at least got the house clean. It's supposed to rain all day which just puts me in funky mood. I'm a little jealous of everyone having babies already but I know my little one just wants more time.
Finally got my car fixed so I have a/c again, just in time as it's supposed to be in the 90's all next week. Other than that I'm feeling so stiff today. Fingers and knees are extra stiff and my belly just feels tight.
Just left a Brazilian waxing appt and I'm feeling a bit freaked out because I was on my back for about 30 minutes. Naturally I have anxiety, but I've read that it can cause harm if you lay on your back for extended periods of time. Waiting for baby to move now... On the plus side my vajayjay is cleaned up for birth whenever that day comes. 37+4
Woke up today and started cleaning & organizing again. Finally finished everything I wanted tackled before baby girl arrives. Now I'm just impatiently awaiting her arrival. Think I'll bounce on my yoga ball.
Had a pedi last night with my MIL and SIL and then went to dinner, last girls night before the baby comes. Saw the doc yesterday too, still dilated to 1cm but she did schedule my induction (due to GD, she doesn't want me going past 39 weeks) so my date is 2 weeks from today, July 17th - unless baby comes on her own of course. Can't belive all these months have gone by and in 2 weeks or less, my little girl will be here!
So glad it's Friday so I can spend some quality time with the hubby this weekend, maternity leave is kinda lonely. Also so he can help potty train our puppy lol :P I've been watching all the X-men movies like a motha so naturally had a dream last night that I was a mutant on the run. 38+2 and still no BH that I've noticed, planning on going overdue at this point so going to the library to pick up some good books to hold me over until then
Had my last growth scan and NST before CS on Monday. Couldnt see her face because she is so low. She's basically tucked behing my pubic bone. (It feels like it too) they said she weighs almost 8 pounds. I'm thinking the CS will be a good idea because I have a 3rd and 4th degree tear with a 7.3 lb baby. But still scared of surgery. Crazy to think she will be here in just a few days..... Followed by some in laws I told NOT to come. Also,I want my house clean but I don't want to do it.
My mom paid to have a family recommended cleaning lady deep clean my house yesterday....that woman is a machine!! She cleaned things I wouldn't have even thought about! My house looks and smells great, and I feel relieved! I spent today making some "padsicles"- haha they still seem odd to me, but I'll try anything! I also just got done hanging up my DH's laundry that I was tired of maneuvering around in the laundry room. Now we get to drive an hour to see our best friends and their new baby girl (2 weeks old) one more time before our little man makes his appearance- hopefully sometime in the next week!
I spent last night in L&D. The good news is that I have reached early labor. I didn't progress enough while I was there though, so they sent me home to labor some more. We got home a little after 6 this morning. They're expecting me back sometime today or tomorrow. If I don't go naturally, I have my induction scheduled for Friday morning, but by all accounts, I won't last that long. It's crazy to think that by this time next week, I'll likely be holding my baby girl!
Week 36 for me and my feet and ankles have become soooo swollen, ugh! Went for a 90 min prenatal massage and it was AMAZING! Now, I'm waiting for a juicy chicken sandwich and fries! Yes Ladies, I went all out today! DH is getting his chest piece worked on today so my plan is to go home after this and lay in bed! I think I'll look up a cleaning service, too, lol @nmfranklin00!
I've been having random sharp cc ramps feelings near pelvis but only lasts about 2 seconds... Is that what contractions feel like? But obviously longer lasting when labor gets going
Somehow my phone got wet. So I put it in a bag of dry rice to help suck the moisture out. It sorta worked. But a grain of rice got stuck in the charger hole. So now I have a different problem.
Cleaning ladies are the best!!! I really don't like having someone come and clean as I enjoy cleaning. But it's to difficult at this stage and I can't stand a dirty house! God bless them!!
Hubby was home from work today. We went on a lunch date, shopped, took a relaxing afternoon nap and now I'm just telling myself tonight is the night! I feel desperate to do something to start labor! I keep thinking laying here isn't going to do anything- I need to walk or have sex but at the same time, id rather go back to sleep
I went to Sams club to buy NB diapers and other things I needed for the house. Then went to the beach for a couple of hours but I would have rather stayed home all day. I've been getting strange movements from baby and he keeps on pushing some nerves on my pelvis that make me crunch with pain. I'm praying I hold off on going to labor until my scheduled c-section next Friday. I can't believe I'm 38 wks today!!!
Getting up from sitting is so hard. Leaning over is so hard. Finding the desire to do anything like cleaning is so hard, but i'm feeling the nesting bug again... i just keep looking around and getting overwhelmed and not doing anything.
Well I'm 40 weeks today so due but baby boy isn't making an appearance yet. Hopefully sometime tonight. I'm sore, exhausted and its hotter than a snakes ass in a wagon rut here so also melting. I love baby boy so much and want to meet him bad, would also love the pressure to be gone, it hurts so much to move, I want to do a deep clean but physically I won't make it. And I will fry to death if I move too much.
Very emotional today too. Cried in the shower from being overwhelmed with finances, ant issues thanks to all the work they're doing around our place, and some BIL issues were having trouble addressing.
I'm just exhausted and would love to have my beautiful baby boy in my arms
My plan for today (sine I didn't have to work) was to go grocery shopping and clean my bedroom so we can put the pack and play in there. I moved just a few things to start vacuuming and the lower right side of my belly started cramping. It was worse than period cramps, to the point where I was gasping to breathe, so I gave up and spent the rest of the day on the couch reading and playing on the internet. I'm a little bummed, because I had a kayaking trip planned for tomorrow, but if this cramping comes back, I won't be going anywhere. Plus my house is a wreak, and I'd like to clean up a bit.
Had to take a nap today since I slept so poorly. Managed to get the guest bedroom cleaned up. Baby and I will sleep in there since the bed is lower to the ground and easier for me to get in and out of.
Having a c-section on Monday. Am looking forward to moving on to the next chapter.
I'm 40 weeks and 3 days and I'm exhausted, sweating, and having irregular contractions. DH and I tried to have sex today to jump start labor, but my labia was too swollen and it was painful. I'm scheduled for an induction on Monday the 6th and I'm beyond ready! My family will be arriving Saturday and Sunday...the house is not completely ready for company but at this point I don't care anymore or have the energy to do alone while DH has to work 3 days this weekend.
Baby is moving around like crazy today! It was my second to last day as work, so lots of goodbyes....
Pretty emotional today. Almost anything could set me off. I held the tears back since I had to work. But, I've felt like crying all day. All tears of happiness, but still....
Got a mani/pedi with my best friend for her birthday. Finally and I mean finally joined my bank account with my husband...still can't believe we actually did it haha. Picked up some Mexican food and now I'm parked on the couch watching Netflix. Excited to lay by the pool tomorrow and have a low key 4th before little one comes
Last week was my 36 week appointment and I was barely dilated, not quite 1 cm. I also haven't really had any contractions so my doctor mentioned that if nothing happens we can start thinking about induction at the 41 week mark. Unfortunately she is going to be on vacation that week so if baby isn't here by then one of the other doctors will definitely be delivering me. Not a huge blow since there was only a 1 in 3 chance my doctor would be the one on call when I went into labor anyway, but still mildly disappointing!
Of course this is all only if baby doesn't decide to come on her own. I'm 37w3d so still got time. My doctor did a quick sono yesterday to check her position and she is head down so that's a good sign. And apparently, she's got a lot of hair!
So... I just wanna take my baby and run away with her. This time is so precious and it's all HAPPENING SO FAST!! Yall, if I can redo Monday's induction and have her over again, I'd do it! She's three days old and I just wanna hold her and NOT share her with anyone! Selfish?? Yeah, but I don't care. She's mine!! Lol And why are people annoying me so much?! I just wanna be ALONE with my baby. Just mommy and Alaila time.
I really need to show this thread to my husband. I think he is getting frustrated with me for not having any motivation to clean the house but all the motivation to take a nice nap! Reading this has made me LOL, literally. You have made me feel better for not wanting to do anything but wait for this little girl to arrive!
Finally starting to get over being sick for over a week. My DH surprised me today by not telling me he had a three day weekend. He has been amazing today. He did all the laundry (and it was pulled up from me being sick) wash/dry/put up, helped with DD, picked up the house, mowed the yard, and let me rest all I wanted. Now he's getting DD reddy for bed while I relax after a long shower. Awesome day! I feel blessed.
DH and I were both off work today, so we slept in and then he went fishing for a couple hours so I could go back to sleep for a little while longer. Then we ran some errands, got lunch, and then put the co-sleeper in our bedroom this afternoon. Overall a pretty lazy day which we both needed. And now I'm laying in bed in amazement that in just a few weeks or days, there is going to be a little boy or girl in the co-sleeper next to me.
My app has been messing up and kicking me off when I'm trying to post. I ended up removing it and reinstalling it but now I can't get in at all, lol Didn't think till just now about the site.
Still super preggers over here. 39 weeks tomorrow! I'm so ready to be done.
