    Spiders are invading my apartment, I've seen three huge ugly brown ones and I'm about ready to pack up and move out. I HATE spiders.

    I have been put on a travel restriction for work. Where I was supposed to be going today is 2.5 hours from my house and OB doc said no way Jose. So the girl covering for me when I'm on maternity leave is down there currently covering for me. Last night at 9:00pm she sent me a Facebook message asking if I was still awake because she was having trouble adding that farm's records to her computer. I have only had Facebook for two weeks and had no idea how to look at or respond to messages so I had to get hubby's help and download a messenger app. I ended up texting her and telling her to contact me that way or by calling from now on. We got the problem solved and I went to bed.

    This morning she called and woke me up with another problem. My list of instructions for her for that farm specifically states not to bring certain information over from the owners computer onto hers. I also explained that to her when I walked her through the computer work 8 weeks ago while at the farm together. So, she decides to do what I told her not to this morning anyways. I ended up texting her step by step directions on how to reverse her mistake so she could keep working and not be on the phone.

    I wish she would just be prepared and listen to me!! She has known since I was ten weeks along that she would be covering for me. And now last week and this week she is scrambling around at the last minute to get everything in order and then not doing things as I have trained her. So frustrating! This is going to be one long and stressful maternity leave for me I am afraid.

    My Monday moan is that my pp bleeding picked up a little bit overnight, which I've read is normal and that I'm probably overdoing it. I feel good and want to get up and do stuff but I guess I'm not ready yet! I hate feeling so normal and so not normal at the same time.

    Two weeks to go, and my hands are barely usable. I guess it's carpel tunnel...tingling in the fingers, hands falling asleep at night, knuckles so painful that I can't write, and now my right index finger won't straighten (probably from continuing to use it at work/home). It's going to be a rough last few days at work.

    My due date was moved back to November 9th due to results from my amniocentesis. However I have to deliver (RCS) in one week because I have polyhydramnios, very large baby (8 pounds at 36 weeks) and a super stretched, super thin uterine scar from previous CS. I am also now on complete bedrest until D day and feel like I have a million things to get done before this LO comes. We don't even have a vehicle big enough to fit the whole family once she is here.
    To add to my stress my youngest suddenly came down with a mysterious illness consisting of a high fever, cough, sore throat, and explosive diarrhea!

    My roommate fosters for the humane society. Pretty sweet thing to do, right? WRONG. Last week hubby and I flea bombed the entire house and put all of our cats outside. ( and they haven't come back in since). It worked... Until the very next morning our roommate brought an untreated puppy back from the shelter. I HATE FLEAS and him and this stupid puppy.

    My inlaws keep asking when my doc thinks baby will come so they can plan their trip to visit. The word "dilation" was even brought up in the last pushy convo about it. DH got mad and said, "it could be tomorrow or 4 weeks from now. You'll get a call when she's in labor!" Do they think my OB has a crystal ball?!

    My midwife mentioned at my appointment last week that any excess sugar in my diet will now add bulk to the baby (not to me). She mentioned this after saying "at least your baby isn't small!". It has made me self conscious over every dessert I eat now (and now that is all I want). I had a little meltdown about it last night and woke up feeling so crabby! I am super emotional today and all I can think about is how over it I feel! I am not in a lot of pain or am even that uncomfortable all the time (although I have my moments )...but mentally I am feeling over all the things I cant eat, drink, or do! And now on top of it all I feel guilty eating dessert - one of my last simple pleasures left!
    Also, the weather turned cool and I am dying to wear cute fall clothes but that is limited. I put together a pretty cute fall maternity outfit but it didn't cheer me up. I actually really like how I look today but I just keep thinking about all things I cant wear and how I wish I could look cute & sexy instead of like a whale

    All I want to do is relax. I can't sleep at night when I'm supposed to and I don't have any motivation to work, clean, do laundry, cook or anything. I feel bad that the house isn't cleaned and dinner isn't made. SO works a ton of hours and I hate to ask him to clean when he gets home. He does help me and we do it together. But he is not known in the cooking department.

    I cannot sleep at night! My baby is now 3 1/2 weeks (born 2 weeks early), and she sleeps alright at night. However, I cannot fall back to sleep after she does.

    Two night ago, my sweet little guy slept after his 10 pm bottle till I fed him a,bottle at 2 then back asleep till 5:30 when he decided he was hungry. My husband took over (we normally split the night but he had been feeling I'll and I took all night) and I want back to sleep.
    I followed the same day and bed time routine accept my inlaws visited. He got overstimulated so as a result he didn't want to sleep. At midnight, he was in tears and so was I. At least today he's being awesome. We are about to go out for our anniversary, my dad is going to babysit.

    Oh my gosh ew mine too! A couple days ago there was a really big black hairy spider in my living room. It was almost as big as a quarter. My SO went to catch it and let it outside (one time I cried when he killed a spider so he doesn't do that anymore lol) and it LEPT LIKE TWO FEET. It was the scariest spider I've ever encountered.

    I'm sitting outside because it's BEAUTIFUL outside and my 1 and 3 year old wanted to play and THERE ARE A MILLION STUPID BUGS THAT ARE FLYING AROUND MY HEAD. I cannot stand that annoying buzzing noise and they will not leave me alone.

    Omg I would have died if these spiders jumped! They are really fast though, creepy. idk how to get them out. And what a horrible timing for them to show up :(

    I am only a couple days past my due date, but DH keeps saying he wants the baby to wait so he can get more stuff done. We are in the process of moving, and he wants to get stuff done before there is a house full of furniture. We finally got carpet installed today, and I looked at my belly and said, ok now that that's done you can come out. DH started going on and on about how he still wants more time, and how it's not all about me and can't he just wait a few more days. Meanwhile, I am doing half the work in the new place along with him and still working and exhausted and so uncomfortable I can't sleep. I'm not lazy, I just want to not be PG anymore.

    I'm over being pregnant. Not due until next week ugh. My husband is so moody too. I'm like wtf I'm the pregnant one living on 1 hour of sleep but I'm still cooking and cleaning. I think my 4 year old and husband have switched places. Good grief

    I got out on leave in 14 days and they still don't have a sub for me. It's looking like I'm going to have to write 7 weeks of lesson plans for a non music teacher to cover my K-5 music classes and chorus. This includes two concerts. Who the hell would be willing take that job? I don't even know what to tell them to teach.

    I was supposed to wait until I went into labor before going on maternity leave, but due to excessive leg swelling and hip pain I had to go on leave today with no idea when LO is going to be here. Now I'm scared that I won't have much time with my son since I only get six weeks.

    First Time Mommy!

    Due Date: Oct 11th 2015

    Have had over 100 contractions in the last 16 hours...and that's just what I have timed. I'm ready for this baby to just come out! They keep getting closer together and then suddenly farther apart so I haven't made the 3-5 minutes apart for an hour straight yet and so haven't went to the hospital.

    And I thought a centipede was bad, but a quarter sized hairy spider.. no freaking thank you.

    I'm just exhausted. Mental breakdown over thinking baby wasn't moving. Chugged ice water and he seems to be moving fine but now I have to pee a lot. Wake up in a hot sweat only to be cold once I take the covers off. More tears because I can't sleep. Then more tears because hubby says to not go into work today and I'm out of sick days. Thank god I had a training day so I will only be short like 2 hours. Now I can't sleep and feel the urge for more tears. On the bright side, baby is moving... But that brings the relief tears and my eyes are on fire.
    I'm pretty sure none of this made sense, sigh :-<
