Welp.... Another night and no labor. Boo! Going to work my last "official" day at the salon. If I'm not in labor next week though I will go in. I had some pretty righteous contractions going yesterday from about 3pm-9pm, but that staved off. So I made myself a mug brownie and went to bed. Hopefully my water will break at work today and I can freak my coworkers out ha ha.
@runswithscissors86 I give you props for still being able to work lol I stopped working since the last week of April! That would be epic! If your water breaks at work lol,
Been at the hospital since midnight waiting for this baby to come out. Haven't had any super strong contractions yet and am still waiting for the pitocin. I have to say. I'm not liking being hooked up to all these cords its kinda annoying so I just want him to come fast so I can take all this stuff off. Just waiting onnsome breakfast so I have energy for the long day. Wish me luck!

Honestly I think the only reason I can still work this late into pregnancy is because I have been standing 8-10 hours a day for almost 10 years now. It's what I am used to. Now ask me to sit down for an hour and my feet swell up and my ass feels like it's gonna fall off. I think it's harder on the body to sit. If only we could all work jobs that let us lay on our left side with a pillow between our legs.

That is the worst feeling. I hope everything goes smoothly for you and that the hospital food is mildly appetizing. So jealous of your soon arrival.
I'm tired today, baby didn't want to sleep last night. I don't really mind I love spending time with him even if it is from 1am till 6am. He's now sleeping lol I'm trying to work up the energy to get into the shower. We have a 70th birthday party this afternoon and I'm taking LO to meet his great grandma first.
Went to the local fair yesterday to spend 1 last fun day out with step daughter before our family goes from 3 to 4. Boy was that a mistake! Walking around for 2 hours in the sun, heat, and humidity did a number on both my husband and me! Plus, since when did a carnival get do damned expensive! We spent $80 on admission, an arm band for her to get on rides and food. Was not expecting that!
Then after we got home last night the food was catching up to me and I felt sick all night. Baby did not like all the gas floating around in there and was extra squirmy, which did not help me feel any better.
Oh well, lesson learned, and feeling a little better today. My step daughter had a blast, so that was the main point.
Party at my family's shore house today. I'm sitting on the couch watching my 3 yo niece play while everyone else cleans and preps for it! My sister has decided to watch videos on home birth in case I go into labor today. 38+2 and no signs of anything starting tho. I don't know how anyone is still working. I get totally winded from just standing and walking to the kitchen!
Spending the day with my hubby, laying around the house, cherishing these last few quiet afternoons together with the dogs. It's so bittersweet..but I can't wait to meet my little babe!
I think I'll give going on a long walk one more go, 40+3 and basically given up that baby will show before Wednesday's induction. I had been so hopeful, had a bloody show 3 weeks ago, lost my plug, 3.5cm/80%/-1 station. This baby is just comfy where she's at. If nothing else I'll enjoy the last weekend with my hubby of it being just the two of us.
39w 4d. Had a horrible night's slp where excruciating lower back pain kept waking me up. Bloody show at 4a. Contractions that lasted literally all day yesterday. Still no baby!!! I want ice cream, hot dogs, and cream soda. Oh, and for my baby girl to not be as stubborn as the great great gma she'll be named after.
At the salon currently getting highlights... Then not sure what to do with my day until we go to the mountains and take our maternity photos at 7pm....
Resting on the couch while our DD is napping, taking her to the pool later. Trying to get as much fun time in with her as I can before baby comes on Friday. I'm feeling ok, just lots of low pressure. I'm 38.3 and no contractions, DD was born at 37.6 so I was hopeful this little one would come early but nothing so far.
Starting to get annoyed with all the "how are you feeling/she's still in there huh?" type questions. I know people mean well but I'm just over it.
So tired of work too, I only have 3.5 more days (leaving Thursday at noon since I have to be at the hospital at 4pm) but it's going to take everything in me to finish those last days.
Hubby is cooking breakfast, we're going to spend the day relaxing and watching movies. Everyday I remind him that it could be our last day as a family of 2.
Spent the morning at a friend's family ranch fishing & cooking out. Today is also my hubby's & my 6th anniversary. Praying for an anniversary baby, even though it's still a bit early. Been having contractions/mild cramping since last night-- decided to go on a walk to see if it would intensify. And wouldn't you know, they've stopped altogether! When will these tiny humans understand their mommas have a very strict schedule & we need them to stick to it!!
Took a trip out to Berkeley today. Waiting in a tattoo shop cuz my DH is getting a consult done. Then it's off to some good eats.... Mmm yummy! I am splurging today.

oh this made me feel good. i went to part-time around then and have felt like such a failure for even having to do that!
So we went to a buffet to honor my late grandpa. He loved buffets so it was a really quirky way to just celebrate his life on his birthday.
My husband was really sweet and asked me questions about him to let me reminisce.
I started crying. In the middle of a buffet restaurant. I have cried a handful of times in this pregnancy. Hormones just got the best of me haha.
I think that's so super sweet to honor him in that way and that your husband asked you questions! I put my grandfather to rest just days before my positive pregnancy test and it was very difficult to have to compartmentalize the grief to the fullest in order to make it through my first trimester. All of it was really pretty bittersweet though; just seeing the cycle of life lost and life gained. My grandfather was one of the greatest gifts in this lifetime and I can't wait to honor him in a similar way without crying my eyes out! We always had IHOP dates together and I haven't been able to go in one since but hopefully soon. Big hugs to you @babydoll1008 !
Also, I currently LOVE pink lemonade and spending time with DH but HATE snoring!
Props to everyone who is still working. I enjoy my job and love my kids but yesterday was my last day at 38w3d and I still practically skipped out that piece.
ETA: Oh yeah, my random for today is I found a community center with a pool near our house and I'm ridiculously excited lol. We just bought our house in August and while I do not miss apartment life, I was kinda sad about not having a pool nearby, especially in Florida! At least now I found one within a 5 minute drive!
Currently sitting on the couch... Hubby and stepdaughter went to Medieval Times (I was supposed to go, but have been feeling blah all day- mild cramping and diarrhea, sorry TMI)... I go to the hospital tomorrow to start the induction process at 5. I'm excited, but super nervous! I have horrible anxiety, but haven't been taking my anxiety meds the whole pregnancy, I've been really good so far, but the anxiety has definitely kicked into overdrive for tomorrow!
Today was my first official day of no work! And hubby took the day off with me to just enjoy!! We slept in until 11! Haha Havnt done that in years! Then got up and we gardened our little butts off all afternoon!! 9 days until our scheduled C/S! Going to be so weird not working these last days!! Feel guilty but know I shouldn't as I know I have worked hard my whole pregnancy and deserve a wee rest before we have none! Lol. Lots to do to keep me busy around the house with a kitchen Reno and laundry ect. I'm sure I will be finished that all within 3 days then be bored lmao!!
Simple, quiet day today: husband and I had french toast in bed, I crafted while he played video games, we took phone calls from friends, went swimming at the pool, now we're making dinner and blueberry pie.
Our best friends went into labor today - one week early! We are so excited for them and have been receiving periodic updates all day!
I can't believe some of you guys are still working! My last day was June 6th, and these 100+ degree days we've had in North Florida make it impossible to do anything other than sleep, swim, or stay inside!

That would be epic! If your water breaks at work lol,
My Ovulation Chart
Also hoping to have a baby today because the shared birthdays would be so important to me.

Just going to lay in bed and pretend I am not pregnant so I don't get too depressed when the day ends with no sign of baby again!
I want ice cream, hot dogs, and cream soda. Oh, and for my baby girl to not be as stubborn as the great great gma she'll be named after.
