Ugh! Dear Mother in Law and Grandmother in Law. Stop telling me that I'll "definitely go before my due date!" I didn't with my first - what makes you think I will this time? I'm playing a game with myself that my "real" due date is September 5, the last day I'd be allowed to be pregnant, so when my due date comes and goes, I'm not anxious. STOP MESSING WITH MY HEAD!
And to the daycare workers - stop assuming everytime I'm 5 minutes late to drop off my daughter that I "must have gone into labor." No, I'm trying to dress a cranky 2 year old and get her out the door! Sometimes it takes a little extra time!!!
Took my son to a children's museum this morning as our one more fun thing to do before I go in for an induction tonight. The second we got there he ran over to this big water table and within minutes I see this worried look on his face. He peed his pants and it was like a gallon of pee on the ground. I didn't have a change of clothes with me because he hasn't had an accident in 3 months AND he just peed before we left the house ( Now here is the I'm a bad mom part... We were the first ones in there so I quickly grabbed paper towels and cleaned it all up. You can still totally see there was a wet spot but with all the water splashing around it blended in. I also let him stay for a half hour in wet shorts to play with the games that were upright (he didn't crawl or sit on anything). Sounds terrible I know but at 41 weeks I just couldn't deal with it!
Poor DH has spent much of the morning on the phone trying to get our FSA set up. For a month we have been told there was no money in it even though it was. He decided today was the day to talk to everyone necessary to find out what is going on so that it wasn't hanging over us when this new LO arrives. FSA people, you have been a PITA and have made my husband cranky. Husband, you rock!
I just wanna bitch about my son constantly kicking my ribs. There is always a foot sticking out of my rib cage and it really doesn't feel good! There's a week until my due date, but I'm pretty confident he won't be here yet.
Go to sleep DS!!!! You can NOT give up naps at 2yr 2 months. I have put him back to bed 4x and counting. Just a 30min cat nap will do!

I'm going to complain about the reemergence of first trimester nausea. I got to relive the glory days of throwing up multiple times with toddlers grinning and attempting to put things in the toilet while it happened. @jlsweets I would have done the exact same thing in your shoes.
Totally completely uncomfortable just like everyone else and ready for this baby to make his grand entrance as a U.S. Citizen. I'm not going to do something stupid like drink some internet potions. However if he would kindly shift his little hiney a little further down and begin this dialation process I would atleast feel like he is coming before Christmas.
Can I just have a moment to bitch about my lazy worthless cats!? Lol. I love them to death but seriously, next time I get up to go pee at 1:30 am and I find a possum on my toilet and my cat playing with it, or my cat playing with a rat in my living room at 10 am I might just scream! We have never had a rodent problem and all of a sudden twice within 12 hours there's 2 rat like creatures found in my home. Also if dh doesn't believe me next time and looks at me like I'm crazy when I tell him there's a freaking possum in my house I may just call the funeral home and tell them they should go ahead and dig that plot up! Thankfully after a couple times of telling him he finally got the damn hint and got up to get it out. Thankfully we will not be having this problem anymore as dh found out how it got in and fixed it but seriously!

@jesselayne8 - he still takes naps? You are SOOOO lucky. My daughter gave them up around 2. She still NEEDS them, but it's very difficult to get her to take one. At this point, I've resorted to an hour of quiet time with a movie midday.

At this point, I've resorted to an hour of quiet time with a movie midday. DD gave them up around 2.5. With DS I am skipping them 1-2x a week right now. I am hoping we can keep nap for at least another 4-5 months until the new baby is sleeping a little. DS still falls asleep in the darn car before I can pull out of the drive way so I know he is tired plus he is up 1-3x a night.

This October will be a year since I was laid off. I've somewhat enjoyed unemployment because I didn't have to work while being pregnant, but I dread having to find a new job and start all over. I'm also not sure how baby sitting is going to work out. MIL still works but her cars been broken down forever, and my parents don't work but they live about 35 minutes away and I'm not totally sure about leaving DD with them often. My mom is up all night and sleeps all day, and my dad is usually running around doing things. (They are total opposites)
And random- I miss sex but it's waaaaaay too painful.
After a month silent treatment I'm glad my mom is talking to me again... but I think there are some grand delusions about how financially well off we are since she requested a taxi pickup at the furthest airport possible (vs DH picking her up at the closer airport that's cheaper for flights), asking whether we have cleaners (I'm a SAHWife with LOTS of free time), how we need to be super generous to my grandmother and aunt (who invited themselves) and probably have to pick up their 5 day hotel tab.
In my mom's mind once you're working you need to pick up everything for the elders to honor them, make sure they don't clean or do any menial housework. We'll see how this pans out once I have an infant and am physically not able to clean the house, and DH is working full time. My family is staying with me for 10 days and I hope they do more than just hold the baby.
No wonder I am reluctant to have my own family visit since it's scary expensive with misplaced expectations each time!!
To my coworkers: Yes I'm "still here". I'm "still here" like I have been. So it's not news that I'm "still here", and we don't have to discuss the fact that I'm "still here". When I'm not "still here", go ahead and comment away! Until then, it's not news!

Whaaatttt? No. I would not be accommodating hotel stays and taxi service for guests even if they are family. Doesn't matter how much my husband makes...not happening. And who expects this type of treatment???
DH - she's not hungry every time she cries. I know that would be very convenient for you since feeding her is the one thing you can't do, but sometimes she is crying for a different reason. Stop handing her to me and telling me to feed her when she JUST nursed for 40 minutes and you haven't even tried to soothe her in any other way.

2y2m... You're lucky. DD1 gave up naps at 9 months. Yup. NINE MONTHS!!
Although I guess your DS giving naps right before you have a new LO does kind of suck lol.
He is asleep!!!! The next battle comes in 6.5hrs at bedtime. Le sigh

Boyfriend I love you to death but seriously please do more than put in a few applications online and call it a day.... to my boyfriends mom seriously STOP babying my boyfriend also he is your son not your man you don't have to do everything for him. Let him do things for himself or hell even let me do something for him! To my mom please stop just stop I will let you know when the baby arrives I get you're in a different state this time but it's not my first its my third and you didn't even come down 4 hours away when I had my first or second just chill out. To my bosses fuck you. That's all :-)
I can't even sleep anymore because I feel like I need to fall asleep quickly in case labor starts at 3 am like last time. And as soon as I lie down I feel like, oh! is that a cramp? Maybe labor is starting!? And then I have to lie there for 20 minutes more to see if it happens again. And then another 20 minutes. And then I have anxiety labor is starting RIGHT NOW and I won't get any sleep, so I had better sleep! And then I don't. Every. Night.
At my weekly NST and there's another woman getting one as well. She had to bring her 2 kids, which I completely understand, but one won't stop singing. Not a song, just whatever pops into his head and mom isn't doing anything about it. She hasn't said a word. Poor thing is probably just so done with everything. Ugh. I feel her pain.
I really want to go get a giant ice cream right now, but I'm afraid if I do, I will go into labor soon and then wind up with terrible gas and poops the whole time.
Having a really hard time at work today. The co-worker who sits next to me has their headphones on so loud that I can clearly hear their Slayer. I moved my whole schedule around to accommodate a client meeting who never even bothered to answer the phone. Called me a half hour later only to try and insist we continue the meeting even though I could no longer due to another meeting I had. I wrote an article for our company newsletter that was completely rewritten and is no longer recognizable as my own. And to make life even better I am still struggling to get promoted and am convinced it is because they know I'm going out on leave soon and do not want to give me the raise before (we have paid disability leave). All in all, happy flipping Monday! This baby can come ANY time to get me out of this place for a while.
To my adorable black lab: I love you, but please stop laying on the couch with your bottom facing me while you have terrible gas. Especially right now when it takes me forever to find a comfortable position and it hurts any time I have to move out of the line of fire.
Also, damn you false labor for giving me hope that I might go a couple days early this time. No one thought I was going to make it until today, but here I sit with absolutely no signs of labor at all.
Oh quick question ? Will I know the difference btw a BH and real deal labor? Right now my entire belly is achey and gets hard every so often which makes me think it's BH. Is it only timing ?
I would like to be reassured that it is possible for one woman to be truly happy for another woman without any 'mean girls' type stuff. A co-worker-who just had a baby 9 months ago-pretends to be happy for me but when someone comments on my pregnancy she invites herself in the conversation. For example, another female co-worker was telling me how small I am and that I look good. She gets up from her desk to come over and say 'Well you're all belly, which is kinda bad because you stick out way too far". Like WTF go mind your own business in your office and let someone give me a nice compliment (even if she was lying about me looking good, it was still a nice thing to say).
Oh quick question ? Will I know the difference btw a BH and real deal labor? Right now my entire belly is achey and gets hard every so often which makes me think it's BH. Is it only timing ?
When it is the real deal they will get progressively stronger and more painful until you can no longer talk through them (or won't want to). And they will get closer together in time.

Get out of my head! That was me all night last night.
I just want to bitch about my husband's germy family sharing their crappy germs with me all the time. I've never been sick so much in my life! So I've been coughing and blowing my nose all day. This morning I lost my mucus plug but nothing else is happening. I feel soooo miserable!! Sorry to whine but I just can't deal with this any more! EDD is tomorrow, and everybody is telling me he's going to be here at least a week late. (This was after husband's family told me I wasn't going to make it to my due date...) gah!! I just want to crawl in a hole and sleep until I go into labor...
To my employees: Did you all take stupid pills this morning? How is it possible that so many have you have forgotten how to fill out your time sheets? Do you not want to get paid or is this just a practical joke as this is my last payroll to process before baby boy comes?
@ashbash1012 - I hear you. My due date is the 22nd and my doctor is currently sailing the Carribean until 8/15. He only takes two weeks off per year - and one of them is RIGHT before my due date!? His recommendation? Stop having sex until he comes back because I'm more likely to go into labor if I'm having sex.
Yeah, right. It's going to be a 6 week drought post-baby, I'm going to enjoy myself while I can!!!
Dear Mother In Law and Sister In Law PLEASE STOP making indirect comments to me. First because your son and I decided to try out Honest diapers when out LO comes doesn't give you the right to make a comment on how the brand is expensive. FIRST WE are paying it not you. SECONDLY before the LO i was use to spending money on myself now its on my LO no longer me PLEASE stop saying I like expensive things UGH. Like before WERE spending not you. I had to take that out...phew and it's not even expensive thats what I don't get. I know if I can afford it alone I'm fine my BF and me are trying to buy a home and his mom and sister just want to put their two sense. I know how to budget I know after LO gets here I'm going to have to budget (which i already do) but apparently for the mom and sister I don't.
Can I add another one? Just got back from my 3 drs appts today and the dr wants to induce me on Friday because L&D doesn't have any room on Monday like I asked. How do you not have room? I don't understand. This is the only weekend my husband has to work since he started his new job in July and his next isn't until the first week of October. I know they'll work with him but that's not the point. I don't want my husband to have to call off or leave work early and possibly miss the baby's arrival. He works 45 mins away. Sorry. I know people are dealing with way more serious problems than this but I'm still upset.
