I'm working 12 hours. Yuck. Dropped c off at her new daycare today and she had no hesitation to go with the daycare provider and said "you go away, mama" to me.
annapunkalunka aww that's reassuring yet simultaneously a little WOMP WOMP. DS just learned buh-bye a few weeks ago and he keeps telling me buh-bye when I'm not going anywhere.
on DS's BMB, a mama just had her squish which means from an EDD standpoint, I am next in line. That is terrifying. I also got sort of down last night because my 30th birthday is on Sunday and I'm so pregnant that I barely even want to do anything. Ah well, maybe next year...
kerbear, D says buh-bye to me all the time but I think he was to go buh-bye. Sometimes he will start putting his shoes on saying it on repeat. It's pretty funny.
I have an appointment with the MW today at nap time. Not sure what I was thinking there. I'm not a cervical check kind of person, but DH wants me to get one to see if we should have his mom come earlier than the 7th. Neither of us want to attempt to take him to the hospital while I'm giving birth...
annapunkalunka I would take that drop off over the piercing screams I get!
theophania I always think it's unfair when anyone with a scheduled c-section has to go through any bit of labor. Hopefully it fizzles out for you (or not if you're ready to be done).
Taking DD to school to get my office in order, then one last summer playdate at the bouncy place. I keep telling her today is the last day of 'summertime.' She thinks winter is next and that it's going to snow tomorrow.
Yesterday I was miserable due to pressure and pain. Today I'm feeling much better. Probably because I popped some Tylenol last night.
I got stupid excited when I went to the grocery store last night. They had Halloween decorations out and a whole display of fall beer. Give it to me now!
theophania - so exciting that you are only 9 days out! That sucks that you are cramping and contracting though since it's a planned c-section!
Im counting down the days to 9/1 at this point and being at work is killing me! I finished up most of the major project I've been working on and it's all wrapped up nicely to hand off to my coworkers for my leave so I'm bored out of my mind now!! I have a couple little things to work on for the next 2ish weeks but not nearly enough to keep me busy or keep my mind occupied.

This happened to my best friend. Her baby was breech and she was scheduled for a C-section but they let her labor for hours with her water broken and everything. Her doctor was pissed when she arrived.

I have had contractions for 9 weeks now so that part I'm used to. Them being regular... not so much. Thankfully of I do go into labor they won't make me stay that way, they'll just do the c-section early, but I'm worried he's still transverse which will mean vertical incision. We'll see how it goes.
That's good. Hopefully your ute will cool it's jets until your C-section date.
Im working today. 12 hour shifts suck donkey dick. I think I'm making an appt with my doctor so I can stop working. I'm not feeling it and I find I contract all day long at work.
We had what I thought was our last biophysical profile ultrasound with the MFM high risk team this morning but nope...have to come back next Wednesday even though I'm being induced the next day. I don't see what difference a day is going to make especially since everything checked out perfectly but whatever. 1 more week! I don't think these babies have any more room in there so I'm sure they're smooshed.
So close theophania!! Happy Birthday olive! About to go to my Dr. Appointment! I swear last night I though the baby may just fall out from all the pressure.
Omg I'm so emotional today. I've been crying all morning for pretty much no reason. I'm also sick and super busy at work, so that's not helping. I want to crawl back into bed!!
Happy Birthday olive! I know how you feel, my 30th was earlier this summer and it felt so lame compared to the prior year when we celebrated H's 30th by renting a house on the beach and getting smashed in the hot tub.
I'm trying to catch up on work since I took yesterday off to sleep off a headache. But I have to leave mid-day to go to my OB appointment and then meet with the daycare folks for another "check-in". The annoying part about trying to get into an Early Head Start program is that they focus very heavily on making sure you do your pre-natal stuff, etc. Logically, I know this is because most of the people they serve are low income and probably need this kind of assistance. I'm just annoyed by having to do it, especially since the person they assigned to me is very new, has never had kids, and really doesn't know much about any of the pre-natal stuff anyway.
Finally heard back on my First-aid and CPR class - they put me in one that's scheduled for Tuesday evening. Unfortunately, H and I are going out of town for a conference he has that day and won't be back until Thursday night. Oh well.
Finished going through all the stuff from the shower, including a garbage bag full of stuff our friend dropped off with the chair, swing, and jumparoo. There's a ton of infant toys, burp rags, and in the very bottom of the bag - a Moby! So stoked, one less thing to get. I bought a boppy and a bath chair with the cash my cousin gave us as a gift yesterday. All that's left is a diaper bag, baby monitor, nursing bras and pads, an extra base for the car seat, and (hopefully) another bassinet so she has an extra somewhere to sleep, either upstairs or down. I put it all in my cart (except the bassinet), added my completion discount and the two Amazon gift cards we've had stashed for a bit and it should only cost me about $120 to get the last things, including some smaller stuff like a package of bottles and a removable cover for the changing table on the pack n play.
My MIL is possibly moving in with us today. She finished her cross-country journey from Kentucky to her dad's house a couple hours south of us late last night. She's not sure if she's going to drive the rest of the way up today or take a day to relax and then come up Thursday. Part of me hopes Thursday - I have a bunch of stuff going on today, the house is a wreck, and H has a meeting tonight which means it'll be just me and her for most of the evening. I'm not quite ready for that.
