I just realized I put my underwear on backwards AGAIN! What is wrong with me?!
My friend's daughter's birthday party (turning 2) is tomorrow and I don't really want to go. Now that we've moved it will take 45ish minutes to get there and its just me because H has to work and now my mom doesn't want to go. Ugh...

I have zero desire to change out of my pj's for the second day in a row. Granted I only rotate between the couch and the bed, but I'm pretty gross right now in all honesty. (I have the flu.)
@BabyMC517 - I can't count how many times I've done that! Is it a pregnancy brain thing?!
I just spent an hour meal planning for next week and doing an online grocery pickup order, all while ignoring my inbox and phone calls. Employee of the year right here!

Mist be a pregnancy brain thing because I don't remember doing this before haha or at least not as often! Pretty sure this was one of my FFFCs last week!
Ditto to all of the work stuff! We've been slow all week so that could be why I've been doing other things but whatevs!

I am still in the hospital and bored since DH had to go to work today. I think I got overexcited when I saw that this week's drive by poster finally replied to her post. I even said aloud "oh yeah! This should be good"

No flu here and this morning I woke up and changed out of old pajamas and put on new ones. I figure that's pretty good. You're sick. No need to worry
eta. And I hope you feel better soon!

I bought a 3pk of nestle toll cookies with the intention of spreading them out throughout the day. They got eaten within one hour instead. To be fair, DD is just having meltdown after meltdown and I'm over here (without her knowing) like
I have a pelvic exam at OB today and I haven't "groomed" from the knee up in a good 2 weeks .... hopwfully they've seen worse before
I had one today and attempted grooming on Wednesday. Holy crap, its SO hard when you literally cant see down there. I can stand in front of the mirror, but even then I can't really see. Anyways, I went sort of blindly and now I'm dealing with some fun irritation and ingrowns, ughhhh. Getting waxed before the big day.
Ugh after asking if yall still were the other day, i tried and i will not be doing that again til post baby. It was horrible. I got it done, but was so irirritated down there for days! Absolutely not worth it. Surely theyve seen worse since many people cant reach!
I'm taking advantage of my doctor's appointments. They are technically scheduled first of the morning (before my work day starts), but I always go home afterwards or run an errand or two before heading to work. Woohoo bc weekly appointments start next week!
@babymc517. I realized one day last week that my underwear was inside out and I didn't bother changing it bc it seemed like too much work.
Last week it was far too late to change...this time I attempted in the stall of the bathroom at work haha not the easiest, but I got it done. I felt it was early enough that it was okay to switch back.

I just bought a 2-pack of NWOT C-panties on eBay. I know potentially used underpants is pretty near the top of the list of NOWAYS, but those things aren't cheap! And I plan to significantly disinfect them.
ETA: I set a compact mirror on the back of the toilet to guide me as I used my small clippers to groom. I guess it's better than nothing (and by nothing I mean UNTAMED JUNGLE LAND!).
I let DD eat a muffin in the living room instead of cleaning her high chair that I neglected to do last night...she was suprisingly clean with it and now I'm going to play catch up on TB instead of getting things done because it's been a long BS-y week
@clebl24 - I always take advantage of my morning appointments before work too! One little stop at CVS or the supermarket is much easier in the morning than after work
My husband called on his lunch break and I told him I've been doing housework all morning. I'm actually still in my pyjamas watching Downtown Abbey and I'll just spend the 2 hours before he comes home tidying up.
I just want to make you ladies feel maybe *a little* better. As a nurse I've seen LOTS of vaginas. A. I guarantee that just based on the fact that you can type, use a computer, and I suspect most of you don't do meth and have all your teeth, yours are FAR from the worst your providers have seen. B. Most of the hair on the average woman grows up high and on the outside labia. By the time you're up in stirrups, even a 70s porno bush just doesn't really get in the way. Most people just don't have thick hair down there. Just be relatively clean and you're good!
My FFFC...? If I don't pee on my hand (which happens a lot more often these days....!) and I generally don't feel contaminated, I often don't wash my hands with soap when at home after peeing. I'm a disgusting human.
I second @ShadeofGreen816. More offensive than hair-- which does not bother health care providers, guaranteed-- is smell/hygiene. As long as you're not oozing trich, gonorrheal or chlamydial discharge, you're golden.
I'm embarrassed to confess that I don't, exactly, technically, know how to put a diaper on a baby. Like, I assumed I'd "figure it out" at some point but I've never gotten around to doing it (not a lot of babies in my circle I guess!) and I'm no spring chicken and it just seems like I'm behind the curve.
Our breastfeeding and baby care class is tomorrow so hopefully they'll be setting the bar VERY LOW, like "this is how you hold a baby right side up" low.
@cato99 I'm sure the class will be at that level, or I should say, it should be. It's never good to assume, because even if someone has done something before does not mean they've done it correctly. You'll learn. Diapers are the least concerning-- you can youtube that. There's plenty of other stuff about babies that has no manual! That's why us FTMs have these lovely STM+ here at the bump.

I think I was in the group a week or so ago that ripped on elective scheduled cesareans before 40 weeks and then my doctor offered me one this past Monday. Whoops.
I havent scheduled yet but he wants me to consider having one on the books for 39w just in case. I'm an iffy VBAC candidate and with the move so close to my due date he suggested it may be better to give me more time to heal before all of that.
@WombThereItIs that's normal though isn't it? My mom had to have schedule csections with the rest of my siblings and they were always scheduled at 39 weeks because the doctor didn't want her going into labor. I thought csections were always scheduled at 39 weeks.
@WombThereItIs Since you have a PCS so soon after I think I'd be doing the same thing! Especially because your leaning towards a Csection and want plenty of time to heal before the madness comes!

@emilyalso That's hilarious!!! And what a good dog to tolerate all that--my parents' little dogs would flip their sh!t.
My FFFC (now FFSC I guess) is related to @achays11 asking her husband to check her grooming...I went a step further and let my husband do mine for me! I wanted it done and lord knows I wasn't going to do it myself. He had been offering for weeks but I was mortified...until I finally gave in. He actually did a really good job!
@bacorrea I don't know, we had never talked about scheduling one until the PCS date got bumped up. My doc is fine with me going into labor, he is just a bit skeptical since we are all expecting gestational hypertension again.
@hp_momma it's going to be so tight I had to remind my husband not to do his final sign out until I can have my 6w checkup if at all possible. Fun times!
