You know the drill!

LF93 · July 2016

My father called me today to see how I was, he lives on the other side of the country so we only see each other 3/4 times a year. Every time I've spoken to him he has had to mention how quick my mother gave birth to me (I was rushed to NICU because I was in shock apparently) he needs to seriously stop telling me how easy and quick labor is going to be for me. Just because my mother had it easy doesn't mean I will. Either you have people tell you it is going to be dreadful or super easy, could people just not comment on something they have zero input or control over!

I was supposed to go to my brother's wedding (at the courthouse) this morning but I woke up this morning at 5 am with horrible cramps. I've been having them off and on for about 30 mins each time. At one point they were coming every 5 minutes. They are starting in the middle down low and wrapping around to my back. I feel like I can actually feel my cervix dilating.
Now my brother keeps texting my mom asking if we are at the hospital. My dad called me last night to ask if I was in labor because someone told him I posted that on Facebook. I'm so overly tired of 1- people lying and 2- my family thinking I'm going to go into labor and failing to let them know?!

On a similar note, I am Facebook friends with my dad's sister and son. His sister told him I was in my hometown to have the baby. Um, no ma'am. While you're all in my business, I was just there for a conference. Just makin up stuff!!

I was up at 6 am to get ready for class. Excited to be back, but didn't want to get up to come here!

I'm exhausted and run down (but happy!) from having a 3 day old baby. DH is working all the time (vacation for him after his shift today!) and somehow I've picked up a cold. Im coughing and have sore throat and just feel gross. Not a good time to be sick

sboston06 · July 2016

I feel like I just can't win. Yesterday I sat around all day and went stir crazy....when DH got home from work I was crying from all the pent up emotions and nerves. Today, we went on a nice walk and now I'm uncomfortable and sore from doing "too much". WTF body.

We live about 10 minutes from my in-laws. We're going over there tonight and tomorrow night for supper because they "miss" E. I love my in-laws, they're really great, but this makes me so sad because all of my family lives about 5 hours away and has only seen her twice since she was born, and both times were in her first week (now almost 3 weeks old). They have every reason to miss her. In-laws see her maybe two or three times a week, and it just makes me upset that they complain about "missing" her.

LF93 · July 2016

@sboston06 This is me everyday, I over done it two days ago and paid for it soo much. I understand now why people keep telling me to take it easy but the boredom is real. At least those people can walk up a flight of stairs without nearly falling over, us on the other hand...

holly142 · July 2016

@schaze- my in-laws also live closer to us than my parents so we see them more often. However, since they are closer we only get together for 2 hours or so at a time. Where as when we get together with my family it is for all day or the weekend. So I figure amount of time equals out all though I wish my family was closer. Both sets of grandparents also mention equally how much they miss DD2.

hannahmp · July 2016

Today is our 5 year anniversary. I get no alcohol, I'm uncomfortable, and we have no fun plans because we don't know what to expect. I am a stm, and my son was already born by now. Everyone kept saying number 2 would be here the same or faster. My husband didn't even get me anything good.

lolomommy1 · July 2016

My MIL has been here visiting and staying with us until baby is born. I'm so irritated...it's been a week and a half since she's been staying with us and I'm about to loose it!!! Today is my due date and here I am taking my kids out to play and trying as hard as I can to entertain them while trying to survive these last moments of pregnancy and she's having me drive her to hang out with her cousins and pick her up. I hate sounding like a whinny bitch but shouldnt she be helping by taking her grandkids out while giving me a break? Instead of me having to work her into MY schedule. Holy fuck I'm going to flip out, I'm way too cranky and irritable at this point to deal with this shit!!

fantasticmrsfox · July 2016

@hannahmp I thought the same thing being a STM. Here I am a week overdue when DS was born 4+ days early. Hope your anniversary gets better and you guys get to enjoy each other!

I went to fill out some pages of the baby book and it made me really sad. "Who were your first visitors?" My sister came over last week but she has been our only visitor... All our family lives out of state and my mom is very sick. No one is coming. My ILs are just shitty and don't like to travel. Also the baby book had two spots for after the baby is born "gifts you received". Well, none... No one sent anything. I realized we didn't get any flowers or cards or anything. Not that I was expecting anything but after all the "is the baby here yet?!" BS people sure weren't very invested

agradi · July 2016

@PootsDragon love tit of support. People suck and fuck them. If they're so concerned about when he got here and yet, they have no concern after the fact, they're just wasted space. Your family is obviously different because of your mom but the in laws shouldn't suck so badly

fantasticmrsfox · July 2016

Contractions came and were consistently 5 min apart for 3 hours then disappeared when I started moving around and walking. I could cry I am so ready to have this kid (41 weeks today). Also my mom is here and my temper is so short.

Also in the parking lot of the grocery store an old lady wasn't paying attention to her cart and it full force slammed into our new van. I couldn't even look at her I was so annoyed.

[Deleted User] · July 2016

@PootsDragon what @agradi said. People are the worst. I'm sorry about your mom, though. Hugs

DachshundMomma · July 2016

Yeah. About that.

Nikko Blue · July 2016

@AB34 I'm so sorry! Do you have an induction date scheduled?

fantasticmrsfox · July 2016

@Nikko Blue scheduling it on Tuesday, so hopefully Wednesday or Friday

samantha1206 · July 2016

I'm tired of people being at my house. I know they mean well and I love them but its so exhausting and they stay so long. Today most of DH's family came over. That was his parents, 5 of his sisters and a niece and nephew. Some of my favorite People but I just want to lay down and watch tv. Now they all left and my dad called to say he's on the way. My car isn't working right so I really need him to look at it but right now I'd take an almost dead car over visitors.

Weville · July 2016

@PootsDragon That's really shitty. Lots of hugs!

TiffRox81 · July 2016

@PootsDragon I'm really sorry. I'm sure people are super excited but sometimes people aren't sure what you're ok with? I know when I had good friends that had babies I felt like I didn't want to ask too soon to come over because maybe they were still finding a routine, etc. Hopefully they all wake up and start coming soon!! Your baby is definitely something to be celebrated!!

whataboutscience · July 2016

Me: Do you still like our names? (We're team green).
DH: Yeah. *long pause* What's the girl's name we decided on? *is not too politely reminded* Oh yeah. It's a good one.

Seriously? We've discussed and had them picked for months. He's never seemed that excited about them so once in a while I bring it up to make sure he still likes them. Don't get me wrong, he loves this baby, but for some reason the name seems to mean very little to him as long as he doesn't hate it. Drives me nuts.
