LOL @Gretchypoo that's so bonkers! Men has the dumbs. They can start off at our place but sending them to the bar down the street is a good idea if I get too sleepy.
@poetryandoceans Apparently breast milk fixes everything so I would say partially digested or not your good! Here's to projectile vomiting. It happened to me a few weeks ago, except it wasn't my kid. I kinda freaked out. Not in a this gross way, but a what the heck do I do now way. It's been so long since I've been around babies.
@Xstatic3333 et al - yes! Men have the dumbs. I don't think H (or I, really) realized how tired, grumpy and uncomfortable I would be at this point. And I don't think they have the same expectations of "hosting" that a lot of women have.
This bitch just came into my office and exclaimed "You're still here?!"....uhm obviously....then she asks when my due date is..."February 4th", I tell her. Then she asks "So, are you already scheduled to be induced?". I tell her no, my doc doesn't even make me consider that until I'm at least a week past my due date, but she'll let me go a full two weeks over.....THEN this lady has the nerve to ask me if I'm getting a C-section, and when I tell her that's not the plan, she ACTUALLY starts trying to convince me that I just need to schedule a C-section now and not even try labor on my own because c-sections are "way better"......uhm, excuse me? I'm glad you enjoyed your C-section, but this is my body, my baby and I DON'T WANT YOUR OPINION!!!
And guys, I'm serious, she would not drop it. I told her at least 4 times I wasn't planning on getting a C-section unless I have to and she just kept telling me about how much easier her C-section was and that I was wrong and really needed to reconsider...UGH!!!! I'm feeling super stabby right now.
@scifichick09 is she aware you can't just have a csection because you want one?! And I've never had any type of birth yet, but that hardly seems like an easier option!!
@scifichick09 I would be so angry! I don't get why people feel the need to try and shove their opinions down other's throats. You are absolutely right, it's your body and your choice!
@scifichick09 wtaf is wrong with that lady?!? For one, nose out of my business! Second of all, she is outside her mind to be one of those "c-sections are the easy way out" type of bish!
+1 to team no sex! H is all about it right now, but I can't even! I can't lay on my back, my nipples are extra sensitive, and rolling over is a chore. No... just no!
@scifichick09 i simply dont understand some people! So rude & to keep going when youve been clear that you arent going down that route would make me super stabby!
You guys! I posted a couple months ago about my dad being diagnosed with prostate cancer right after we announced that we were pregnant. Well he went through radiation around Thanksgiving and at his appointment today he has been cleared! The cancer did not spread and it is 100% gone!!
I've been telling DH that I wanted to get a milestone stuffed animal, for taking pictures of the LO each month. The other night, he came home with a 4 foot tall Chewbacca. I have to admit, I was thinking something more along the lines of a monkey or teddy bear... But, he was really excited about it; so, why not?
@LivingLaVidaGinger the birth class I took before my 1st son was born recommended bringing pictures to help visualize a happier calmer place than the hospital, and also suggested bringing music or a sound machine.
@SawyerRichardson I'm so happy that your dad's cancer has completely gone away!! That must be such a relief right now to know that's he is better!!
@scifichick09 that's very upsetting that someone would try to tell you what kind of birth is best for you. And I've never ever heard anyone say they preferred a c/s. Weirdo.
@Xstatic3333 and @Gretchypoo + anyone I missed... about the bizarre plans this late in pregnancy. My mil has been a hoot about not wanting to share her birthday... which is Feb 1st... (like she has flat out said this exactly "I hope the baby isn't born on anyone else's birthday" because he's due the 9th). Well the last few years she hasn't done anything to celebrate her birthday. And my husband told me that she texted him earlier today to see if we want to go bowling next weekend... ummm if I make it that long I'll be 39+2, so no we won't be driving over an hour away to go bowling.
@LivingLaVidaGinger I second @FreshBakedBrownies advice about bringing in images to help you visualize a calmer place. I'd also suggest working on that visualization before the labour itself. There are a lot of guided meditations out there that might help, but I found it really calming to just invent my ideal home in my head. I started doing it about a month or two before the birth, during those long sleepless nights. I figured out where I would want the house to be, what layout I wanted, what colour the exterior would be, what the landscaping would be like, etc, etc, etc. Tons of detail to focus on. I told my husband about it, and so he used it to coach and encourage me when I was in labour. Between contractions, he asked me questions about how I would set up the kitchen, what would the door look like, things like that. For me, it was a way to labour unmedicated, but I think it would also be a great way to distract yourself from being in a place you find stressful.
I was feeling motivated yesterday so we went on a 2.5 mile family walk....such a poor decision. My legs hurt and I feel like I've over pulled a tendon in my "leg crack" like where my leg and hip/groin connect. This baby better not come today just for the pure fact that I don't know if I'll be able to even move off the sofa.
So the hospital called me last night and told me I'm to come in on Monday afternoon for blood tests. I was bummed out because I was suppose to go for a massage and pedicure that day. Anyway, I ran out to do some groceries this morning and while I was away, my husband called the spa and they were able to squeeze me in this afternoon. I had plans to reschedule for the Tuesday but this is so much better! I just had to AW my H for that one.

@SawyerRichardson I'm so happy to hear your dad is cancer free! What wonderful news!
H and I have gone into obsessive nesting mode this weekend... I'm currently taking a break from cleaning baseboards, dusting EVERYTHING, washing sheets and blankets, and ironing curtains while H is shampooing the carpets in the entire house. The dirt coming out of the carpets is disgusting.
Next up: IKEA run for a new coffee table (one without sharp corners or a glass top), new bedside tables, and a trash can for dirty cloth diapers for the nursery. Then off to the grocery store to pick up a few more things for freezer meals that I plan to make tomorrow (which will go into the chest freezer we bought yesterday). Then more laundry - need to start washing all the cloth diapers. THEN kitchen cleaning and organizing...
Hopefully we have time for fun stuff at some point. We're supposed go to dinner and bowling with friends tonight, and maybe see a movie tomorrow. But all of a sudden, with all the February babies being born, I'm feeling like we need to get everything done, NOW - just in case!
Got the car seat and base out so they can be installed in my car. Gotta finish packing DS's go bag and finish packing what I can for my hospital bag. I have 8 days until my EDD. I'm so ready for this boy!
