I'm a horribly grumpy troll person who just wants to have this baby.
Me too!
I am so uncomfortable. I am really feeling sorry for myself. After having 6.5 hours of contractions 4 to 5 minutes apart, then finding out it meant absolutely nothing, I am getting discouraged. This baby is putting so much pressure on my cervix it is hard to walk. My hands are swollen and sore and barely work.
nitecheese, I've felt pretty irritable as of late, but luckily I'm not dealing with the general public because I would probably lose my shit on them. I can't really lose my temper with DH because he's taking such good care of me. However, when technology BS hasn't worked for my job in the last couple weeks, I've been cursing and crying, so there's that.
nitecheese yesterday at work I was feeling all the emotions. I mostly try to not say things out loud.
I have 9 more days at the office, including today. But tomorrow's a half day so really 8 1/2.
Last night I had a new sensation in my belly. Not sure what it was, kind of felt like air/gas bubbles but I don't have any organs that are still down in my belly they've all been pushed up to my rib cage, so I don't think it was gas. Who knows.

I am sure I am the only procrastinator but for anyone looking to wrap up nursery loose ends, Pottery Barn is having a sale of up to 25% off. It includes furniture and runs through 5/30. Happy shopping!

Today is our community service day at work and I'm already feeling exhausted. I really like this day every year but being 37.5 weeks puts a whole new perspective on it!!!
Just had my 38 week appointment. She thinks I've changed to 3 maybe 3 1/2 cm. she did a cervical sweep. I'm super emotional because the girl I had helping me with ds flaked on me from 1-4 so now I'm trying to decide if i should have my sister come out early to potentially help or id rather have her help later. I was up from 1-4 again last night with heart burn and then my boss called and woke me up at 6!! Really? His computer hard drive is failing and I'm supposed to fix it at 6am. No sir. So yes, I'm a grumpy troll today too. Only benefit of being up all night is that I bought my new recliner. Late night shopping probably not the best idea but I can't wait for it to be delivered! Sorry we're all grumps. Bah hum bug

It is hot.
I need to go grocery shopping for the long weekend. There is a HUGE festival going on in my relatively small town for the holiday all weekend and I refuse to leave my house during it so I need to get this over with.
nitecheese I deal with the irritability by apologizing afterwards. Sometimes.
So I'm thinking there are a lot of outside babies but not enough pictures of said babies. I'm going to need more pictures to get me through these last weeks. Inspiration, and all.
I have 3 days left of work, 9 days until my due date, I've done everything I can to wrap up projects and loose ends but people keep coming at me with new shit to deal with. Seriously people, leave me alone! I was up for two hours in the middle of the night thinking about work stuff.
We have no plans this weekend, typically we might do a picnic or something with extended family but no one has mentioned anything this year and it certainly won't be me. I'm okay with one last weekend pre baby but after that I'm done.

nitecheese yes I am beyond irritable, I'm a miserable bitch. I am so sick of people asking how are you feeling or commenting that I look like I'm done. I literally force a fake laugh and walk away without saying a word. I am uncomfortable all over. I am exhausted and although "it's almost over" days drag and it seems like it will never end. Obviously it will, but the constant state of discomfort and exhaustion is really taking its toll.
I'm so glad to have this group to complain to. Last time I had a coworker/best friend who was also pregnant and it was nice to have someone who understood where I was coming from and had the same complaints. I think it makes me slightly more tolerable to others since I have an outlet.
I'm not irritable, but I'm super emotional. I started crying yesterday in the grocery store when they didn't have the salmon sushi I wanted (FFTC- I've still been eating sushi). It was so much effort to walk to the back of the store where it is kept and then it wasn't there. I stood there and cried for a few minutes before I gathered the energy to walk back up front. Then I didn't end up eating anything for dinner anyway because I felt so sick. I think I'm done. But, I still have more time to go, so I'm not done.
I'm irritable. Glad DH is home today but I had the house perfectly clean and everything so ready and he better pick up after himself. I'm so nervous I'm going to get another call and get bumped to Monday and my mom will have flown here from 2,000 miles away for nothing. DS is so fussy today which is not helping.
I feel like there's both so much time (not due until 6/21) and yet potentially no time at all, and the lack of control/ability to plan is difficult.
Should be a good few days - Tonight is prenatal yoga; tomorrow I work from home, have an OB apt midday, and in the evening is a Comfort Measures class with our doula group; Saturday I'm having brunch with some friends to celebrate the pending arrival of the LO; Sunday we have a cookout at our friends' house; Monday should be no plans, but cleaning/nesting/other baby prep.
2dogs2kids, I agree about having an outlet. I really don't complain at all (except to DH) IRL, so it's nice to be able to have the place and space where everyone understands and is feeling the same way, mostly.
nitecheese, YAY for the last day of school! Best feeling in the world-saying goodbye to your students on the last day!

I am so sorry so many of you feel so shitty and crabby. That's the worst... I'm fortunate to say that this week I've felt pretty good, like surprisingly pleasant especially for me.
I had an ob-check and she said I don't need to come back until June 6 - and since I'll be over 39weeks at that point, i don't need to make another appointment before my RCS on the 14th. Woot for only one more check-up!!
I'm sorry so many are feeling crappy. I'm so late in June, so I know I'll get to that phase too. I have been emotional today though. A student wrote me a really nice card that made me cry. He's come so far in four years. Then I read a three page letter a crazy mom wrote about me (remember the one who mentioned a restraining order?). The situation is so ridiculous, and I'm not worried in the least, but at one point I cried for a few seconds about it. I felt bad for the school psychologist who was sharing the letter with me.
I'm trying to nail down artwork to put in the nursery. Time's ticking, and I need to just simply figure it out! I know it doesn't matter, but I just want his room to be special and perfect- hello FTM :-) We have our contractor coming June 4th to put everything together. We STINK at that stuff- it takes four times as long along with a fight or two along the way. This will be much easier!
I'm so sorry for everyone feeling so bad You are so close! per the request from microworm here is an inspirational baby pic... This is from the other night - E has a furry guardian watching over her
