Well, Hello Friday

[skrittens]

It's almost the weekend! What's your random?

[skrittens]

I was either having cramps or contractions or bad nerves last night. I have no idea...but it's kinda uncomfortable.

[jennypm]

Not much from me today. I have to start working on my English Comp assignment and I'm freaking out a little bit. I'm not sure I've ever written a research paper and I have to come up with 12 possible topics. I am really wishing this wasn't a required course. Here's hoping that work isn't too busy today so I can work on schoolwork.

Also, I'm already exhausted thinking about this weekend. H has to work tomorrow and my kids have activities ALL day. My oldest has to be at cheer at 8:30am, at a school which is about 30 minutes away. Then, I have to leave from there, with her, a bit early so she can make it to her first exhibition game for Lacrosse at 1pm. Then, my youngest has 2 lacrosse games tomorrow. One at 2:45pm and one at 4:15pm. Thank god, the LAX games are all at the same field. I'm pretty sure I'll crash when we finally get home close to 6pm.

Happy Friday everyone!

My daughter has been binky free for a few days now! She is starting preschool next week and we told her for a while that she can't bring them there so I guess she was finally ready. We thought she'd never go without them.

[lib1974]

Up early, can't go back to sleep. I really wish I would stop spotting so I could relax a little. If it gets beyond this I have to go back to the hospital and for good this time. There is still no sign of her coming anytime soo which is good I just really want my body to cooperate just a bit longer!

skrittens‌ ya, contractions are no fun.

jennypm that sounds like a busy day, I need a nap just reading it.

[meowkitten]

Holy boob leakage, batman. The struggle is real. I never thought it would be this bad!

We had our last childbirth class last night, I'm sad it's over...they were so great! We have our hospital tour on Tuesday and then it's just getting the random things done that still need done. I still can't believe it's February next week!

[rquinlin]

Good morning ladies! I've been up since about 4! Yuck! I really tried to go back to sleep, but I finally surrendered. I couldn't stop going through lists in my head. I really need to just get everything done so I can STTN! Happy Friday everyone!

[busterrose]

rquinlin I also have the lists in my head and can't STTN either. It's so tempting for me to ditch work and just finish the baby's room.

I just wanted to get out of bed and start working, but I figured DH and DD wouldn't really appreciate that.

[TheTuna15]

skrittens Oh no. Contractions suck. Hopefully, you won't be uncomfortable for too long.

jennypm That sucks. If you need a hand on the paper stuff, feel free to message me. I can put my degree to use while I sit around at home moping that I have nothing to do.

rquinlin & busterrose add me to the can't stop making lists club.

AFM. Why can't I stay off the Dump? It's like if a peanut butter truck got into a bad accident with a jelly truck on the highway. It's horrific and I feel inconvenienced, but at the same time I'm entertained in a sick way.

Just coasting through my last hour of work. I came in early today to have a meeting about my hours situation, and then that meeting ended up happening after my normal arrival time. Still no real answers, but we're getting there.

So yesterday at my doctor's appointment we discussed leaving my pessary in for an additional week. (Doc wants it out at 36+2, I suggested 37+2). He basically said that he doesn't feel like we need to wait that additional week, and that he has no worries about LO adapting to the outside world. He said that his basis for this was LO's size, and that this could allow for easier birthing. At my 35 week appointment, he guesstimated baby's weight to be 6 lbs, and his length to be 19". Knowing that ultrasounds can be up to a pound off, I'm just not feeling confident in removing it but I'm also feeling torn about it in general. Decisions are hard!

[bluebell0315]

I work with mostly older women. There is one lady, Ms. Easter, that asks me when am I due and what am I having every single time she sees me, which is SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. This morning she asked what did I have and when did I have it. Really? Seriously? Like I had a baby last night and came to work today? And I can't even be snarky at her because she's so sweet and she's so old.

[peep]

goofygoff - I hope all is well and that you got some reassurance when you called. Hoping for an update when you are able.

carmar3 - sorry to hear about the possible pre - E - stay in there, baby!

skrittens - sorry to hear about the contractions. I've only had a couple BH so far - but ouch. Hopefully they go away for you, too!

jm0848 - that sounds like a really tough decision and I hope you can make one you are comfortable with. I know you posted about this before, but is there a chance the baby will hang out a bit longer even without the pessary? Did the doctor think there would be any risks to you for waiting the extra week? (I had never even heard of the pessary until you posted about your situation, so forgive my ignorance.)

[issytex03]

Today sucks im back in hospital with bleeding and more leaking when i thought it was slowing down/stopping and they're making me stay for an indefinite amount of time i miss my DD and this whole experience is really freaking me out! On too of that i couldnt sleep at all last night D:

[katydid2015]

OMG I just got my second warning on the dump for a comment where I said I make meth to keep my mind off of TTC. The warning message said that my comment "encourages criminal behavior". Wow, just wow. I'm going to request full account deletion before they ban me and I can't anymore.

[chilibeansm0m]

Ladies you have me all worried! No more Jan bdays for our babies k?

Afm---



Last night was terrible and I never want to relive it. Here it goes:

1am R wakes up screaming and crying. I calm her down and put her back in bed. I pee and eat a fruit cup cause naturally in hungry now.
145am R wakes up screaming and crying. She tries to have me pick her up to get up because she thinks its morninG. um no. I went in because i thought i should at least check her diaper since this isn't like her. Nothing.
215am R wakes up. I don't go in.
230am Same

The whole time dh is snoring like a monster and my inside baby is just having a dance party.

So basically my whole family kept me up from 1 to 230. I slept maybe. Maybe. 6hours.

Tgif?

skrittens that was me the other night whatever it was was no fun.

carmar3 thinking of you lady.

[busterrose]

issytex03 oh no! I hope everything is ok.

[missycee]

I am so freakin' tired. I went to bed early last night, was asleep by 9:30, but I just couldn't stay asleep. H gets out of work in a few hours so I may have to attempt a nap before we go for baby's growth ultrasound this afternoon. I feel like I just want to sleep for a week straight.

And the pressure and ache in my upper thighs/lady parts is increasing. I went to put my pj pants on this morning and I was standing on one leg and trying to put the other in my pants and it felt like baby could just fall out or something. I had to hold on to something to put my damn pants on. I felt pretty pathetic which then made me a bit angry. The next 7 weeks should be fun.

WTF? 

[saltyfins]

I don't want to be a fucking n00b anymore!

[peep]

I got a really good night's sleep last night! This usually isn't a problem for me, but this past week I've been waking up between 2 and 4 AM. I credit the good sleep to eating a lot before bed. Yay, all the food.

I never did get my milkshake yesterday, but I think we're going to go to Culver's tonight because now I want a cheeseburger and fries, too.

The people I nanny for gave me the nicest gift yesterday - a beautiful high chair! Besides childbirth class, I have some major thank you notage to accomplish this weekend.

[wifieo]

skrittens are you still having them?
issytex03 I'm sorry to hear that but it's better than being at home worrying..... Or us worrying. stay positive momma!

ha ha!  You need a T-shirt that says that.  

They are worried that you will get us all to take make meth, but not so worried that their posters solicit and give medical advice?  Hmm...

I haven't requested account deletion yet, and I don't know why.  But I have only gone over to see the carnage a couple of times.

They are deleting comments left and right even without warning. I also think they made my new comments after my warnings invisible because I tagged a reg who is still posting to ask if she could see my comment and she never responded. I went ahead and just requested account deletion and deleted the app from my phone. I gave the admin a piece of my mind in my PM too, not that that give a shit though obviously.

[peep]

jennypm, you probably don't want yet another person offering to help you, but I'm a writing instructor, if you need any advice or want some input. Also, I don't know what your professor is like, but I really encourage my students to meet with me outside of class. I would definitely consider meeting with him or her if that's an option!

[coleybug13]

Hope all you ladies in L&D are doing well, same for the ones who are having contractions!

I put DS on the bus the morning then came in to sit on the couch, took 45 minutes to realize I was watching phineus and ferb by myself..

My family is coming over for dinner tonight but I have no ambition to clean the house. I cleaned it last night and SO and DS trashed it already.. Ughhhhhh

Other than that I don't have anything exciting going on. I packed my hospital bag and baby's bag last night! Then I realized I should probably pack one for DS too! (Ill probably end up packing SO's bag too since he procrastinates like no other)

I'm so anxious for this baby to be here!!! 36 more days!

[mrsk]

@issytext03 Oh no! Thats such a bummer, hang in there!

My arm is so sore this morning from the Tdap shot yesterday. Im feeling pretty good though, because my appointment went well and my BP was normal! yay

[katydid2015]

I took today off work to begin my all Friday's off until baby is born routine. I am waking up so many times at night to pee. I got up 3 times during the midnight hour alone, and about every two hours on the dot before and after midnight.
My baby shower is tomorrow and I'm kind of nervous about it. My mom has put a lot of effort into it and I hope enough guests come to make it worth her trouble. I don't care about gifts for me, I'm more concerned about the work she did! I really only have one close friend and she is making the 1.5hr drive, I love her.
Happy Friday everyone!

[jennypm]

issytex03 FX that the bleeding stops! I'm sorry you're back in the hospital.

peep Hey, I'll take all the help I can get. I attend school online so there's no way to even meet with my professor's as they live/work all over the country. I could email her, but wasn't sure how long it would take her to get back to me. The first thing I have to do is write my Topics Inventory to narrow down what I actually want to write on. I'll PM you with what I have so far if you don't mind taking a look.

[sathena]

So I found out on Wednesday work is throwing my DH and I a baby shower. I go next Friday for my growth scan. Then next Sunday I have friends coming over for a baby shower get together. The weekends are getting crazier the closer we get to the due date. Also it's looking more like she will arrive next month due to my PTL issues. I also get to go buy my chair today!
I think I'm caught up for now. Have a lovely weekend ladies and so glad that stepherly and baby are doing well.
