My refrigerator went out. Freezer's working I think.... Lovely. Could go into labor any time. I got 4 hours sleep, and now I can test anything I have cold here I case it has spoiled. Gaaahh!
Had BH yesterday for over 2 hours and then went to nothing and then I was up all night unable to sleep..now at work and its suppose to be 90-95 the next several days. Shoot me now. AHHHH
I woke up about 8 times last night to pee. Each time was more and more. So I'm running on hardly any sleep, on the plus side, I think I'm losing my mucus plug. Either that or a lot more discharge than normal. No bloody show yet though, so I'll keep an eye on that!
1) This GIF is everything. I'm 100% certain its actually a video my husband took of me last night.
2) WTF nail spa in town. I've been trying to get ahold of you guys for 2 days to schedule a pedicure (aka a foot and calf massage because I could give 2 shits about polish on my toes in reality) and NO ONE WILL CALL ME BACK. I just want someone to rub my damn feet for an hour. Do you not want my money?
My FIL decided to finally schedule the back surgery his doctor has been telling him he needs for the first wednesday of August. My SIL booked a vacation to Florida this first week of August. They had the nerve to call and tell us that since they had plans the first week of August we needed to tell the doctor to induce us this week or early next week so they could visit the baby. We thought it was a joke, but his mother called back crying because we wouldn't schedule it.
@babycakesday Seriously? That's a bit messed up, baby will come when baby is ready. Why wouldn't they have arranged their appointments/vacation around you? They knew baby was coming for months. It's not like it was a last minute thing!
@babycakesday. Truly wtf. Because they didn't realize you are due in July?! Wtf is wrong with people. My sister poked fun at me bc she is on vacation this week but we are more just teasing each other that she picked a terrible week to go away. To be actually upset about you guys not working your induction around them...just wow.

There were so many appropriate GIFs to choose from I had a hard time deciding.
We honestly laughed and thought it was just teasing because what person says that seriously. Apparently our reaction made them feel like we cared more about ourselves and my mom and BFF since they would get to be there. I just don't think they truly believed I'd still be pregnant so now we're inconveniencing them. I cried about it last night, but today I'm just ticked off and find it a bit funny. I don't need this stress this close to my due date!
Well call me selfish, but uhhh ya, I do care more about myself, my husband and my baby, soooo....
Also, if I told my doctor I needed to schedule an induction for any reason they'd be giving me a serious lecture. Sure it's a conversation to be had for medical reasons, but convenience (especially someone else's convenience!) would not go over well with my doc.
@babycakesday- I'm sorry they were serious. My c-section was scheduled for July 5th. My sister went on vacation June 29th and booked the earliest flight home on July 5th so she would be here for my delivery. DD2 came early on June 30th! Thankfully my sister wasn't upset and she realized I had no control over that.
My WTF is that both DD and I are sick. Slight fevers, sinus pressure, so much snot for DD, body aches. I pray DD2 and DH stay healthy.
@babycakesday that is seriously something else...it doesn't always surprise me when one person acts like that, but 3+ people?! Ridiculous.
My wtf is the nurses at this hospital the whole time we have been here. They sense when I or baby is sleeping and like clock work come in 5 minutes later. After screaming for 1.5 hours last night I got DS to fall asleep at midnight. 5 minutes later they come in telling me they need to take him for his weight and hearing test (which they had already done). Whatever. Ask them to bring him back when he wants to eat again so I can get a little sleep.
1:30am the nurse barges in with screaming DS, TURNS ON THE LIGHT, hands him to me and walks out. I can't even handle their level of stupid. So glad we are going home today.
@babycakesday I'm both shocked and appalled that they were serious about it. Sorry... not going to schedule my life around someone else.
My WTF goes to myself. Last Friday's doc appointment didn't go as I had anticipated. My meeting with my counselor at work yesterday went terribly- found out I won't be promoted with the rest of my start group. Why can't I keep it together? Everything seems to be falling apart before this baby is due.
@jwittwer - I feel very much the same with things falling apart too. While I take my own advice, try and hang in there because it WILL get better as crazy as that might sound right now!
My wtf is this child. I want him out and I am a terrible person to be around atm.
Long story to explain my mood: I had a high risk doctors appointment the other day. They were running super late (90 mins to be exact) and when I finally got in the doctor wasn't even an obstetrician. He took my fundal height and said it had increased 10 cm in 13 days. Plus I had had a slight decrease in movement because Bean has completely run out of room. So Dr has freaked out, gone to speak to an actual obstetrician and when he came back said I needed to go to l&d to get induced right then because obviously the baby was in distress. I was trying to hold it together and managed not to cry.
I've gone up to l&d, got put on a monitor and Bean's heart was racing. It eventually calmed down and they were happy. They checked my fundal height and it had only gone up 5cm in 13 days so nothing to be too concerned about. I just started histerically crying because I was just so stressed. The dr decided he'd do a bedside ultrasound to reassure me and then offered me a stretch and sweep. At the end the midwife was like yep that will definetely put you into labour.
It is now almost 2 days later and nothing. F**king nothing. After sitting on a yoga ball for 6 hours yesterday plus doing basically all the pleasant old wives tales. I'm about to go to the biggest shopping centre in my city and I'm walking the whole way around it.
I can't figure out how to sign LO up for Medicaid. I was on hold yesterday for so long it told me to leave a message. I left the message and they called back today but by the time I got home they were closed so I couldn't call back. I'm going to try to call again tomorrow. Also getting the breast pump early from the WIC office is impossible so I have to drag my PP self up there and ask for one when I get released from the hospital. This is just a big mess. Why can't things be simple??
@setosh there was a place to sign your baby up for Medicaid in my birth certificate packet at the hospital....so, you might be able to do it there. Could vary by state though. @AB34 sounds like my experience at the hospital with DS1. Sucks!!! Sorry you have to go through that, We picked a totally different hospital this time and were much more pleased with the quality of care. It gets so much better when you get home.
"sleep when the baby sleeps" is my wtf. Eating, showering, and peeing still needs to happen!! Plus I can't just totally ignore DS1. I keep telling myself that this is just a phase!
@setosh are you on Medicaid? I am so after I gave birth my husband just called them to let them know he was here and his name and birth date so they could sign him up. His card came in less than a week. I don't know if it is different if you aren't on it though.

Yeah I am. I've been calling to ask questions and they keep blowing me off so thank you!! I hope that works.
@setosh I'm on medical assistance as well and did the same as @stellaluna14. I just called them up on Monday (I have been slacking, knowing that he's covered on my policy for 30 days) and gave them my son's information and they said he'd be placed on his own policy that day and his insurance cards would be sent out at the end of the week. Now I just need to send them copies of his birth certificate and social security cards. I was still waiting on his social security card to come in the mail when I called them.
@babycakesday That is ridiculous. I think I'd be glad if they did miss when the baby was born with attitudes like that. Sorry they aren't more supportive.
WTF hormones. DD had a potty accident this evening (regretting potty training in third tri and we are going to be still struggling with it and have a newborn soon). Then DH was helping clean up dinner like I asked and I got mad he took my fork when I got up to get more food. He walked away and I cleaned up dinner and cried for reasons I don't even know.
Thanks ladies for the support. DH and I keep saying if we have to schedule an induction we're going to pick that first friday just so they do miss it with that kind of attitude.
DH came home today to tell me he switched his work schedule around and now doesn't have every other Friday off, instead he works only 8 hours (it was 9) a day. He is continuing to work from home two days a week and he is totally shut up in our office all day, so I see no benefit to him being home. I am pissed about it and giving him the cold shoulder. I don't know why he didn't talk it through with me to see what I prefer. Sure maybe that's not really my call but I would have at least liked to have the conversation. WTF dude.

not sure of your EDD and if you are comfortable with it but my SIL gave me a brand new pump she never used. I received mine through my insurance. It's yours if you want it. Please DM me your address unless you are good
