    I'm at the point that nothing sounds worth doing but then I feel like a lazy slob. Calling my doctor's office today to schedule my c-section.  Crazy that it is only 7 weeks away! Ahhhh!

    @lexilougolden we will all be holding our sweet babies soon!! I also don’t have much energy for anything. This is definitely the hardest stretch!

    I don't know why anyone would ever question why little ones cry so hard when they have gas.  I just had to go lay down because I thought my stomach was going to split before I let out a giant burp and felt 110% better.

    I’ve been up since 5:30 this morning. Just couldn’t go back to sleep. There is a million things I could do but sitting in silence until my toddler gets up is so nice lol

    Hard day. I made a joke about my father in law (who we live with) leaving his coffee and forgetting to drink it and this am I commented that “Oh! Hot coffee today!” When he walked in with it and he responded “shut up” which all of us there laughed at but then he followed it up to with “fatty”. My husband and mother in law said heyyy too far and don’t be mean, and he said if I can be mean he can be mean back. I left the room and cried on my own in the bathroom. He later apologized and I apologized for hurting his feelings with my joke as well. Told him I didn’t know it upset him as he laughs about it normally, but also said I wasn’t ready to accept his apology as it was too much and hurt. 
    Backstory is that I have struggled my whole life with my body image and shape and size and been in and out of treatment for anorexia. 3 years ago I was inpatient for 3 months trying to get healthy which was the hardest thing I’ve done since my kids were 7 and 9 and I had to be away from them that long. 
    I’ve just spent all day crying. I’m hurt and I don’t want see him or talk to him or be around him. I’m just really hurt he would go that far. It’s very hard to feed my body daily, and I’m doing my best, especially since pregnant, but it just makes it that much harder.

    @lolothenailtech - I’m so sorry to hear that! What a mean and insensitive comment! I can’t believe he would say that whether or not he knew about your history. I hope you can find a little space from him until you feel a little better.

    @lolothenailtech I am so sorry.  His comment was way out of line.  I know it's hard when people are mean,  but try to remember he's just one (ornery) person being rude.  You know that you are amazing,  worthy, beautiful,  and loved despite other people's meanness/issues.  Hugs.

    I scheduled my C-Section for August 10th! Ahh, 6.5 weeks away.  I'm waiting for Prime day hoping that a bassinet goes on sale and I'm stressed out that I'm cutting everything close.  

    I also had the strangest sharp pains in my lower abdomen for a few minutes at midnight.  Nothing like contractions but very painful.  They freaked me out so much that I hardly slept.  Baby is still moving about.  Not sure if anyone has felt anything like that??

    I love my toddler but his clingyness has gotten SO BAD the labor and delivery room is really starting to sound like a mini vacation.

    What I would give for 10 minutes of not being *touched* or hearing the words “I WANT MAMA” anytime I move from one space to another without him (to pee, clean, cook, stretch, have a dang contraction) we just had a HUGE meltdown because I was HURTING and trying to get relief by sitting in my yoga ball and he absolutely needs me to sit and hold him 24/7 here lately while he has a fistful of my hair. It’s gotten so bad I either cave or have to listen to him scream and cry for me while hanging on my legs and I don’t know what to do 😭😭😭 

    Im really hoping I don’t end up with PPD from being overwhelmed and overstimulated and my husband doesn’t get it. He just sits on his phone while I remain a giant pregnant human jungle gym day after day. I can be in the middle of prodromal labor contracting every 3 minutes and he doesn’t have the patience, desire, idk to district him so I can just breathe and be in pain in dang peace.

    We’ve been on vacation with extended family this week. It’s been really nice. Today DH and I snuck away to do some outlet shopping so was able to pick up a few things too!

    It's so hot and I'm not a pool person.  That's all our boys want to do is go to the pool.  Luckily DH will brave it by himself but I feel guilty not "helping".

    The heat finally broke here and I was finally able to get a decent walk in with my dog. I have been struggling to walk even 10 minutes and I thought it was just pregnancy but now I know it was the heat! I never wanted fall so bad 🥵

    Since we had to get a new drier, my SO decided to tackle the garage as the next space to clean out.  He did most of his stuff, but I had to go out there to help with my things.  I tried to take breaks, but was just sweating so much and between that and the decision fatigue I was totally exhausted by the end of the day.  At bedtime I didn't feel Spud's usual kicks and worried I didn't take enough breaks to cool off.  Luckily we were back on kick schedule the next day.
