Anyone else being a total couch potatoe today?

Felt like butt all night last night (really really horrible back pain and contractions) so this morning I woke up with DH had coffee with him. Face timed with my mom and then decided kitty and I needed to go back to bed. It's finally not so hot upstairs that I can enjoy being in my bedroom during the day again. I figure I'll be productive in the afternoon (maybe). Anyone else?

  • Me!! I have a cold. I was having a lot of pressure and tightening last night and I lost my mucus plug this morning. (Tmi I know) and I feel like throwing up. Not sure if something is getting ready to happen or not, so I'm just resting right now. Watching dumb daytime tv to keep my mind off things. I have an appointment this afternoon so maybe they can tell me if anything is happening or not.

  • Reading this as I sit on the couch with my feet up, coffee in hand and binge-watching supernatural reruns. Yeah, I may have a TDL a mile long, but doing nothing feels so right! I also might be more productive in the afternoon, we'll see!

    I should watch some supernatural. That would make me feel better!!! :-)
  • After my doc appointment at 9 yes! My body was so sore and beat last night for some reason. Gonna take it easy today and maybe watch some cooking shows and read my new book....all in the comfort of AC.
  • Recorded the new bar rescue last night so about to watch that. Contractions just kicked in HARD. so I'm not leaving my bed lol! It seems like every week my body gets more beat up which I guess makes sense. My house is totally vile though so at some point today I really should clean
  • Woke up with my husband at 6. sent him on his way to work and now all I want is to lay down on the couch all day. Had contractions this morning but they've gone away. I also have a mile long TDL but I don't feel like doing it right now. Maybe after lunch.
  • No I'm at work

    So much supernatural! It will make you feel a lot better... image
  • I tried posting this a while ago but it screwed up. Gah.

    I was all weekend, I didn't feel good Saturday. Yesterday I was really tired even though I slept decent that night. Then for some reason today I've woken up at 3:30 and now 8:30 totally starving :-??
  • Yesterday was a total relax day...was up late Saturday night in L&D being monitored so I decided after sleeping in a little that I would just relax. Today I would love to do the same, but I just looked at the bathroom and it needs a deep clean real bad...lol plus the older kiddos probably will not let me rest much without daddy here...

    Bahahaha I love it!!!
  • At work.. wishing I was at home relaxing! Anddd my VP said he had a baby gift for me but forgot to bring it in today and said to stop by his office tomorrow for it. Is it sad that I secretly thought, "well damn, there goes my chance to work from home tomorrow" haha. It's cool though, I said to myself I wanted to squeeze in 1 more week in the office before working from home til baby comes.
  • The literal definition of couch potato is most definitely me! I'm SUPPOSED to be bed resting, but couch resting is so much more appealing! Also having a 3 year old command the tv for 2 hours isn't my idea of fun, but she's quiet! Outside of asking "where's daddy?" Every 6 and a half minutes.
  • I plan on doing nothing today but sit on the couch with my feet up! I went to DH's work picnic yesterday and am now so swollen so I feel I deserve a day of doing nothing!
  • No I'm at work
    me too and sooooo jealous of today's couch potatoes!!! I hope you all are resting well...I will join you after open house at school tonight! 
  • Yes! I was in bed and the only reason I got up is because I promised myself a pedicure today .....and I wouldn't want to let myself down :)
  • For the last week I've been sleeping so terrible so as long as a I do one productive thing a day I give myself permission to sit on the couch binge watching tv with a pint of ice cream and a big ass water bottle. Im lucky that I don't have a toddler to chase and work forcing me to be productive all day.
  • Was up at 630 with DH, just waiting for him to go to work so I can go back to bed (:| will be more productive in the afternoon tho

    This is the promise I make myself to. As long as the sink is clear, and a plan for dinner I've been letting most other things slide because I feel like this baby is trying to push my ribs outside my body. I'm also going to try to clean my bathroom today because it's getting ridiculous. I just took DH a sandwich because he forgot lunch.
  • @GirlOnTheBeach dear Gosh how I envy you with cereal. GD is just awful. Im going to go on a cereal binge!
  • Went to the gym this morning now I am laying on the couch.

  • My body has been glued to the couch the last couple days.. Actually got dressed and went out for my birthday dinner last night. 39w5d. I feel like I deserve the rest! Dr. Appointment today so hopefully I find that I'm ready to deliver this baby and stop being nauseated and so tired!
  • So far I've showered made pancakes and loaded the dish washer. I'm feeling nauseous lately so now I'm just laying on the couch waiting for a nap to come take me away. I should be walking or finish putting up laundry but I don't feel like it.
  • @candicejeff2013 I see no problem with your actions. Decided to do one productive thing and clean my disgusting bathroom. Bending over to scrub the tub and now I'm in pain and dying. Why oh why did I not just stay on the couch
  • I am sick. Waiting for DS to go to sleep then I hope to close my eyes too. But he's in his crib playing. He's sick too. I did manage to go pay the car note though I don't think I'll do much else today.
  • Up all night with random, painful contractions and back pain. Hubby is sick, but still working... The last couple days my feet and hands have been swelling (which I've not had yet) and I can't wear my rings!! :(( I feel so nakey! And, although he tells me not to worry about it, I always feel sooo guilty if the house isn't clean for hubby when he gets home, so I can't really be a couch potato, thanks to my overbearing conscience!... But ohhh I want to!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Went to the gym this morning now I am laying on the couch.

    Go you!

    I'm making it my mission to do some serious walking today. Hey, might as well get a good workout in since I feel like I'll be pregnant forever :)

  • @Ambermom043 I feel you on the guilty conscious thing! Hence why I had to scrub the bathroom despite trying to have a couch potatoe day @CaliforniaDream87 I should do more walking since I'm feeling the same but I get such painful contractions that I usually make it to the corner and back.

    @nakoppel that's good though! That means progress. Keep walking through those contractions!

    I try too! I make my husband nervous lol. I do do yoga twice a week though it's my respite from the world. It also reliefs sciatic nerve pain like no ones business!
  • Yup, total bum today. The kids are at school, I fell asleep on the couch this morning after taking them to school, woke up and am now watching The Walking Dead reruns. I've got 2 weeks left until scheduled csec so I've decided I'm going to take this time to relax and take it easy, since I've been balls to the wall for the last 3 months.
  • Yes! I slept in yesterday, took two naps, then was in bed by 10. I don't think I've ever slept so much in my life! Today my 11 year old is taking care the house while my 15 year old is at work. I love that they enjoy being in charge!
  • I worked today. Felt like I wanted to curl up and die all day long from exhaustion of not sleeping. I literally wake up every 45 minutes (or less) at night to pee and I just cannot sleep. If I hear one more person tell me that i won't get any sleep once the baby arrives, that lucky person is getting throat punched. Sigh....
    Wow. I've never been this evil in my life. Pregnancy is turning me into a crazy person!
    Help!

    My help for you?? Embrace the crazy while you can get away with it!!! :))
  • I woke up at least eight times last night. Horrible night's sleep! Today was supposed to be my last day at work until after baby arrives, but I decided to say F it and found someone to cover my shift. I picked up around the house and made Mexican food for my boyfriend when he got off work, plus I've got a load of laundry going, so I'd say today I have the right to potate on the couch for a while. I am planning on watching House Hunters... :)
  • Its 8 degrees Celsius here (COLD) and I'm snuggled in bed with the cat. Got acupuncture in a couple of hours to try and entice this 9 day overdue baby boy out... Sure wish the acupuncturist did house calls!

    @drummondst feel free to update how that goes. I'm looking into doing that once we're overdue (which I'm fully expecting).
