I just put my confession in the randoms thread because I didn't see this. But we scheduled an induction for tomorrow and we're not telling anyone because I don't want my mom there since she'll stress me out, and my family is annoying and will call/text every 5 minutes for an update on my cervix, which is none of their business!
@noideawhatshesdoing full support from me on that one - i'm regretting telling MIL date of c-section and am praying she doesn't show up at hospital after work (or earlier) that day - I'm seriously considering banning all visitors at the hospital.
I don't like my daughter right now - she's going through a "no" phase and a daddy-only phase at the same time. I know it's all the change going on (new teacher at school, new baby, all the construction at home) but I'm tired of fighting with her and hearing "no, mommy" and her pushing me out of the way. So fine - your father can deal with you now.
@gingerbride26 my daughter has hit this stage where she is being disrespectful to me and only me. She mocks me. Tells me no. Straight up refuses to do as I say. I’m trying to figure out how to best handle it but it’s hard. She doesn’t pull this with anyone else. She’s only 4. Going to be a long run if I can’t figure out how to set her to respect me now.
I’m super jealous of everyone that’s already had their babies (on and off this board) I’m not even due until Monday, but I’m just so over it and I feel like I’m losing sight of the prize at the end of the road because I’m so uncomfortable and upset about still being pregnant.

@noideawhatshesdoing yea that's what i keep saying - her attitude is getting worse though and it's tough not to be hurt when she won't even give me a hug any more. DH tries to force her and doesn't get that it just makes it worse. It's been building for a while and I'm sure me not being able to pick her up or crawl on the floor isn't helping. Oh well T-18 days to newborn cuddles - at least he won't be able to push me away yet...
elizabethrn87 - if you figure anything out let me know. Mine's only 2...what are they going to be like in 10 years!? i try to take deep breaths and get on her level and talk it through a bit. Last night I ended up taking a toy away every time she said no, then she had to say "please" and "thank you" to get it back... This morning she actually let me dress her for daycare instead of moving to the corner i can't reach and calling for daddy...though she kept asking for him while I changed her... baby steps?
@noideawhatshesdoing We didn't tell anyone when I went in for my scheduled induction with DD, no regrets! I'm extremely close with my parents but I just needed to avoid the texts, calls and knowing that they were waiting. The less stress the better! Best wishes tomorrow!
MY FFFC: I haven't read a book in over 2 years, other than reading to DD of course, but no adult books. I just no longer read for fun, and I don't even care.
My confession is I ate an entire donut this morning. This is a confession for me because of GD. big no no. I was just so upset and over it when I left my appointment and I stopped to get coffee and it was sitting there looking so dam delicious. It was every bit as amazing as it looked and the baby went NUTS after.
@runsomewhere I also have barely read since DD was born. It makes me sad though because I'm a huge bookworm - used to read 1-2 books a week and now i'm lucky to read 1-2 books a year. For a bit I instituted a rule that I read for 30 min before bed as an attempt to re-claim me/me-time but that went out the window when I got pregnant and we hit terrible 2's
@gingerbride26@runsomewhere I went through a phase in college where I didn't read anything but school books and I only got back into it with a conscious effort to do so. Before DS I would bring my kindle or books with me to read if I had to wait in a line somewhere, but now I can't do that, so really I just read 15 minutes before bed, sometimes a little more, if I'm not super tired. But usually sleep wins out.
