2) I'm excited that my c-section means that my SO will have to handle all the household chores for a week or two at least. I know he works hard, but I worked two jobs and held our home together for the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. It'll be nice to be appreciated once I can handle doing the chores and taking care of a newborn
3) I'm totally hoping to go into labor today so I can have a Friday the 13th baby, I'm not going to lie.

I was slightly hoping the same. I think 11/13/15 is a cool bday
I can't handle the number of women posting here thinking their EDD is an expiration date. You know it's a window right? We are all over it. We all want to meet our babies but give them some time. They'll come. I promise.
And if I see one more mucus plus post I will scream!!
Also I'm over work at this point and ready to be done. Baby is free to come whenever. At first I want to make it closer to Thanksgiving. Now I'm just done.

I completely agree on the MP posts. I don't need to know the size of it, how much came out, when it came out and no we can't tell you if you'll go into labor soon! Talking about it in the L&D thread is one thing but I can't stand a special snowflake post about it

I would also love a Friday the 13th baby but DD turns 2 tomorrow and I planned a birthday party for her! With that said my contractions are way stronger and more painful today than they were yesterday so who knows what's happening. DD was born at 41 weeks and today I'm 38 + 6.
Is it selfish that I want baby to wait so I can enjoy cake and pizza tomorrow?!?!
I would love Friday the 13th baby! So family is out of town, SO is at work. I don't want to do anything! There's a handful of little errandy/stay busy type things forme to get done today, and I like to tidy a little everyday. But otherwise, NADA. The downside to my mother being out of town is her INTENSE separation anxiety. It hasn't been 24 hours, but sure enough multiple phone calls and an average text an hour. I told her I would absolutely call if I thought anything was happening, still, so much texting. Geezus woman, you just left! I'm done picking up the phone and replying to every text.
I NEED this baby to sleep leave my poor boobs alone. He was awake from 10pm-1am and then 330-430am and up from 6-9am. I even pumped and tried a bottle out of desperation and he's not having it. Waaaah.

I know it's early, but I'd love a Friday the 13th baby too. The number 13 is actually incredibly lucky and important to my family so it would be pretty nice. However all the signs of labor I'd been having have stopped so probably no baby today for me.
I do get to have an 11-13-15 baby! Its also DH's brothers birthday today so they get to share a day (which I'm pretty excited about and so is BIL).
I wish I had a non-labor related confession. I guess mine is about how I'm sick of everything being labor related... (Mucus plugs, contractions, and epidurals oh my!)
I need to confess: I'm still getting a full night's sleep! I have no idea why. DS woke me up between 2:30am & 5am for the last 4 months of my pregnancy but this LO seems to be a night sleeper so far. I'm making the most of it before baby gets here and the sleep deprivation starts!

I am too, for the most part. I get up once, occasionally twice to pee but always fall right back to sleep. For a while I was struggling but the last few weeks I've been sleeping well. He doesn't usually wake up if I make a quick trip to the bathroom.
Ok... So I don't know what she thinks she's saying, but daughter just woke up from her nap, and I can hear her through the monitor saying f**k repeatedly and happily.
My confession is that I think toddlers cursing is hilarious, especially when they really mean something else (true life example: saying shirt without the r, etc.)
So the friend I threw a shower for back in September just had her baby yesterday. I am a little bit jealous! Our due dates were originally 10 days apart, and now that her baby is here, and I still have 5 weeks (give or take) to go, I'm finding it kind of hard to be happy for her.
I want to give my MIL an earful but I don't need the stress right now. Since my third trimester it's been like WWIII between her and hubby and I'm getting pulled into the mess. But once I start down my rabbit hole of anger there is no point of return and I don't want LO to feel the heat of my anger.
1) YES WORLD I'M STILL PREGNANT.

I had a party planned for DD1 but, with me being in the hospital on her birthday, we had to cancel it I feel absolutely horrible that we didn't celebrate her 2nd b-day
I want a Friday the 13th baby too. Not just because I am almost a week over due. Unfortunately doesn't look like LO is on the same page. Also becoming very jealous of all the people whose due date is after mine having there babies. Come on mommy might feel physical fine but mentally going insane waiting to hold you. Your my 3rd and I am starting to think will be my latest of all. Tomorrow will tell since DD2 was exactly 1 week late if you go past that you win the stubborn award.
Baby boy received his eviction notice today. If he is not here before the 18th, I will be induced. That will put me at 39 +2, and I am totally fine with that. Doctor is worried he is getting too big, and I am exhausted ( like the rest of you!!) She checked me today and I am 1cm dilated. She stripped my membranes - (ouch!) - to see if he will come on his own. Sorry TMI - but there is light at the end of the tunnel!!! Have a great weekend mommies!!
Our lovely little man was born today. People are coming to see him. I'm only half dressed because he's sleeping on me and I really don't care that I'm 5 inches from a nip slip when they come in. I just endured 45 hours of labor. You can deal with my odd appearance.

I guess my son had a growth spur last night because he woke up to eat about every 50 minutes EXACTLY. I was tired as a dog this morning and still had to take him to his pediatrician for his physical. Totally worth it though because he actually gained weight after 3 days out of me! Yay! Praying for some rest tonight.
I really wish MIL weren't coming to the hospital the day of my c/s. Just MIL, not FIL, which is making DH kind of sad that his dad won't endure an hour in the car to see his granddaughter. But anyway, MIL is already asking DH when she'll be let in the room to see kiddo, and, like, seriously? I have no idea what sort of state I'll be in. Can't she wait just a few extra hours to see this baby?! Even my parents, who are ecstatic since this is their FIRST grandchild, are making sure to give me my space by showing up that evening and the next day.

My due date was today, and while I am glad I already have a baby in my arms instead of in my belly, it would have been cool to have a Friday the 13th baby. Especially since my FIL was a Friday the 13th baby baby.
And my FFFC, umbilical stumps freak me out. I don't like looking at my son's and I can't comprehend people wanting to keep them after they fall off. The whole thing just makes me uncomfortable.

@Gapeach83 I am so sorry and I hope your LO comes earlier than mine did! My first was 3 days past EDD, second was 6 days past the EDD, and my third was just born at 41+6!! 13 days past EDD!!
I would have loved a friday 13th baby but my mom and grandma probably not. My grandpa died 4 y ago after 2 w of pain on 11/13. He was hit by a car on a crossing space.....we still miss him very much. On the other hand....all week I've been cleaning the house. Last night my DH decided to make a big hole with a small machine in the kitchen wall. And there was all my cleaning flying out the window. I told him I am not cleaning up this mess. He can do it himsfelf. On the other hand still pregnant. My body seems to not take it anymore. My right leg keeps blocking and can't walk because of the pain. My belly muscles hurt in every position and at every touch. My crotch hurts like i've been hammered down there and my back...oh well...it feels like it's on fire! And I have nooooo clue how effaced or dilated I am. And I get my pap results on monday. Good news after colposcopy it seems vaginal birth is back on the table. Let's hope so says the pap test to! And about that "mucas" plug...no clue how it should look like )
I told my MIL I didn't want visitors because LO was fussy after his docotor appointment. He wasn't really fussy at all, I am just sick of visitors and just want to snuggle up with my cuddly baby
I know this is late but it happened yesterday so it still counts lol. I told my anesthesiologist "80% pain relief my ass" when I got my epidural.. He laughed at me.
I am an unapologetic Uggs hater, and yet today I caved and bought a pair of Bear paw Fuggs. They are all that will fit on my pregnancy cankles besides my one pair of flip flops and it's getting cold! All I need now is a pumpkin spice latte and some yoga pants and my white girl game is on fleek...

My Birkenstocks are the only shoes that I can slip on without bending over. I've been wearing them with hand-knit wool socks. Steppin' up my dirty hippie game and I don't even care. Good thing I have less than a week left, not sure what I'd do if I had to be this pregnant with snow on the ground....

They accidentally gave me a spinal since they put the catheter in a tiny bit too deep. I had a really low dose and still couldn't even feel my legs. I wouldn't mind if they make that mistake again next time (since I got away without the spinal headache)... Although it did wear off in time to push which wasn't exactly fun since it brought back the back labor

I've been living in a pair of Reefs flip flops for weeks since my feet started swelling! I've been anticipating getting frostbite if it goes below freezing (I'm in the Philly area), since literally no other shoes I own actually will fit on my feet. DH finally put his foot down and demanded I buy some boots because I'm not going to be up for shopping once the baby is born. They're not as easy to get on as flip flops, but they do keep my feet nice and warm

Currently in the hospital with the ugly ass hospital socks on and my birks. No shame. Huge ass feet.
It's not Friday anymore, but it's still on page one, so that counts for something... Right? Anyway, my confession is that I don't understand how Jeff Dunham has become so popular, because I find him painfully unfunny and annoying.

Wait, he's still around? And popular? No thank you.
