  • @seeds_of_joy I made it and then went to make the weekly check in and saw you already did. Team work!ย 
  • @amccurls I thought maybe you were in labor so I better fill in ๐Ÿ˜„
  • Well thank you! I just slept really late today ๐Ÿคฃ
  • 37+4 and the days are passing like years ๐Ÿ˜ซ๐Ÿ˜ซ i donโ€™t think I can make it to 40 or longer lol
  • @iscarelys such a cute outfit for your baby! It feels so fun and magical! โœจ
  • @ttc3y you are just so creative! You need an Etsy shop. I love itย 
  • @iscarelys soooo cute.ย  I love it!

    @ttc3y those are awesome.ย  I second @amccurls about the Etsy shop.
  • @ttc3y I love your oragami mobile!!ย 
  • @ttc3y those are amazing!
  • @amccurls Yay! Iโ€™m glad your appointment went well! ๐Ÿ˜Šโค๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Š
  • I'm not feeling well at all. My gallbladder is acting up and my stomach feels wonky. I decided to give the kids each a task to start dinner without me and at first there was chaos and yelling but now it sounds like they're all doing their parts. ๐Ÿ˜ Maybe I can get them to do the entire meal! It'll be a good test run for after the baby comes.ย 
  • @seeds_of_joy Iโ€™m sorry youโ€™re not feeling well! But someone else cooking dinner sounds really nice hahaย

    I don't know what's going on here but the food is almost ready, nobody died, and the 6 year old figured he was more useful carrying up flooring to Dad.ย 
  • @seeds_of_joy I hope you feel better! I hope dinner turned out good and theyโ€™ll be willing to do it again for you!ย 
  • @seeds_of_joy Teamwork makes the dream work! It sounds like a very successful evening of making dinner for your kids! ๐Ÿ˜Š That is worth celebrating and Iโ€™m glad you are feeling better too! โค๏ธ
  • I had postpartum anxiety with my first baby. I have a few ideas of what I can do differently this time around to maximize sleep and minimize stress.ย 
    - Not tracking every detail of feeds, poops, etc.
    -Incorporating some bottle feeding so I can have some longer stretches of sleep.
    Any other tips or ideas?
  • Well, I just got back from my appointment and wish I would have progressed more. Iโ€™m still just 1cm dilated, but my cervix is very thin and his head is very low. I did a membrane sweep, but I feel like Iโ€™m going to be stuck being pregnant until my induction next Wednesday. I cried at the appointment. I couldnโ€™t tell you if it was because of the membrane sweep pain, anxiety from just not wanting to be pregnant anymore, or anxiety from realizing that I will soon need to raise a child and I have no idea what Iโ€™m doing. Iโ€™m a bit of a mess in this final stretch.
  • @karbaud I'm sorry that you are feeling down. The membrane sweep was very effective for bringing baby for me the first time. I hope that it brings you closer to birth too. All of the things that you mentioned are a lot to cope with. Hang in there. โค๏ธ
  • @karbaud my emotions are definitely running high right now, too. Iโ€™ve been having prodromal labor and every time contractions fade out again itโ€™s miserably demoralizing. And this evening I almost cried over our takeout pizza not being ready on time. I hope the membrane sweep does it for you and you can avoid a more intensive induction!
  • @karbaud Iโ€™m so sorry. I remember with my first. I was 1cm for like 3 weeks then the night she decided to make her appearance things progressed quickly. Hang in there. ๐Ÿ’œย 

    They mentioned doing a cervical check at my next appt Monday (it would be my first check) but Iโ€™m also nervous that Iโ€™ll be disappointed too with my induction scheduled for the next Monday.ย 
  • @karbaud the final stretch is such a jumble of emotions. ย Sorry it was a tough appointment. ย Your sweet little one will be here soon and all this will be a memory. I say this to remind myself as well. We are all amazing women and will make it through this!!ย 
  • The end of pregnancy is always the hardest part. ๐Ÿ˜” But it is still the end and that means babies are just around the corner.
  • @karbaud so sorry youโ€™re feeling overwhelmed! I second what everyone else said. Plus, when baby gets here you will figure out your own rhythm and youโ€™ll be able to take care of them. Youโ€™re going to do great, and I hope the membrane sweep works for you!ย 
  • @karbaud โค๏ธ(Hugs)โค๏ธ

    @seeds_of_joy So exciting!!! I love it!!! ๐Ÿ˜
