nitecheese, i'll join in the TMI game... everywhere my body touches itself is sweaty. I'm swearing a skirt so my bump is sitting on my thighs... my boobs are sitting on the top of my bump... and my chub rub of my thighs makes me want to cry.

I wore a dress the other day thinking I was being smart because of the heat. I have never been more wrong. So. Much. Sweat.
I can manage being 9 months pregnant. I can manage a head cold. Both at the same time is making me ragey. I think this is the first day at work when I totally just let the whole "I'm doing well, thanks!" facade slip and just walked around with sniffly bitch face all day. I would kill for an Advil Cold and Sinus right now. DH is at a work party. They close down every year the day after Memorial Day and have a big shindig. We decided it was safe for him to go out and have fun, no signs of labor (famous last words, right? If the universe chooses today, while I have a cold and DH is out drinking...). Big decision of the day. A trashy romance novel I have been looking forward to came out today. Do I read it now, or save it for hospital down time so I have something brainless to pick up if labor is long and boring, or I'm having trouble sleeping when the baby sleeps?
vivela I hope you get over your head cold quickly! I hear you on the debate on reading/watching something now vs "saving it up for later". Sounds like you could use a pick me up today do I might lean towards reading it now.
vivela I'd read now. I don't remember having any downtime once baby was born. Hope you feel better. csat my son pretends he's a baby animal at night and I have to tuck him into a nest/cave, etc. he also has asked to lay in the bassinet and pretend he's a baby.
My chair came today. I haven't gotten out of it since it arrived. I'm reclined and feel glorious. I just sent dh and ds on a walk and I'm closing my eyes for 5 min.

Ladies just to let you know I'm going to be a millionaire...I have decided I'm going to invent panties and/or liners that tell you if its pee or amniotic fluid! I literally just had a small heart attack then realized my water did not break, I just peed a little trying to get up from the table.
And while I'm incredibly thankful for being able to stay onsite this whole time, the sleep suite doesn't have a private bathroom so I've been taking care of all my postpartum care in a public bathroom. Every moms dream, right?? :-)
Ugh postpartum care! That's rough that you don't have a private bathroom. I have a whole bag set up in our bathroom, it'll be nice to get home and do it there!!
DS is sick and it's making me so sad! I'm also nervous he could be contagious, but mostly I feel sad for him! He can't even eat without screaming, I'm hoping it's molars and not sores in his mouth but we are taking him to the doctor tomorrow.
Went to the hospital for about an hour today to get a Jaundice check. We had to wait in the waiting room in case she had to be admitted. All checked out fine though and we were able to go home! First pediatrician appointment tomorrow.
I'm so engorged and feel so miserable! This didn't happen with my first, so I hope it all evens out and goes away soon. From what I read on Kelly mom, hopefully it will!
I'm loving using my baby gear! when we went out today, I probably told DH five times how much I loved my new diaper bag. Also used my milk snob cover as a car seat cover, which I love! And is it terrible that I don't mind when she spits up on clothes so I can put another adorable newborn outfit I have on her? Ha! Sorry about the typos and punctuation issues, I am currently nursing and using Siri to write this post!

I would love it if these existed lol. Pee? Amniotic fluid? Sweat? Who knows?
The day was alright, but my late-afternoon and evening have been awful. I got a message that I needed to come get DS from daycare because he was having some GI issues. The end of the day at work was a clusterfuck, so I was later getting DS than I should have been (luckily daycare was cool with that when I called to let them know). DS has to stay home tomorrow, so I probably have to take him to my OB appointment. Then, I went to feed my dog and realized that the bag of dog food that DH bought was still in the trunk of his car at work. I called DH and he suggested that I just give the dog random food from the fridge. Yes, that's exactly what I want to do so that then I'll have both a toddler and a dog with the runs. So, DS and I are off to the pet food store after I make him dinner. All I want to do is lay down and sleep!
babyzebra ugh maybe stop and get ice cream for yourself too! What a bummer afternoon. txmommy14 Someone just bought me a milk snob. I'd never heard of it and now in excite to use it. I hope your son feels better soon. That has to be so hard when you're so busy with an infant.
My bump has been crazy off center for weeks. It is getting uncomfortable. Baby butt sticking way out on the right. Mix it up, baby, try the left side out for a change.

Today is our 13th wedding anniversary and I had an appt this morning. I'm 3cm and 50% which is right on track with last time when I was induced at 40+3 so I'm still counting on 2 more weeks.

My DH is reading Winnie the Pooh to the baby complete with different voices for each character and it's the most adorable thing I've ever seen. My heart is melting.
babyzebra, I hate those days when everything seems to pile on. The timing always seems to fall on a day when you are already worn out.
soultrane, I hope you get to bring baby home soon! With the added bonus of a private bathroom.
broadwaymama, I'd buy that! I'd been doing so well with the bladder control thing. Now I have a cold and between the sneezing and coughing that is straight out the window.
Mmm...DH got me red, white, and blue popcicles and I've been eating them like it's going out of style. So delicious!
I've felt a few more contractions today than I'd been having. Still just the hard belly, no discomfort or cramping. I'm looking forward to my appt Thursday to see what the plan will be!

The non private bathroom would kill me. . Hopefully you get home soon!
I'm getting my car washed and don't have any cash so I asked if I could add it to the card when I paid and they said no! So basically I'm going to be the very pregnant lady who doesn't tip. Why would they say no, it just hurts their employees.

My grandfather has taken it on himself to call me daily - which is just annoying. I've already said well let him know when the baby is born. He wasn't like this with DD - which is one of the reasons why it pisses me off - and DD was 12 days overdue. So really, I'm not surprised this guy hasn't made an appearance.
The idea that some people have that someone would have a baby and not tell anyone blows my mind. But the more annoying you are the more likely it's going to happen. And calling me all The time doesn't really speed things up. Gah.
In other news, the latest I'll go is June 8/9th. At my appointment this morning my OB said that she'll put in the paperwork for a non medical induction for June 8 (since my cervix is open, they can use a foley and break my water, since they don't like to use meds for VBACs). While I hope I don't end up going another 8 days, there *is* an end in sight sort of....
Ugh. I am pretty sure my DS has Hand, Foot and Mouth. We are taking him to the doctor in the morning to confirm, but he basically has every symptom. I am so paranoid with having a four day old at home, but it's not like we can send our toddler away. Anyone have any advice on what we can do besides washing hands and trying to keep them separated? I am hoping she has lots of my antibodies and can stay healthy. Really sad to keep them apart when he wants to be close to her and get to know his new sister.
