My cousin is getting married today. So I will be taking all 4 kids solo to that. H's anxiety is so high right now that I'm not going to push for him to come.
The girls are now a month old. How did that happen?
I have a family reunion to go to, and it's smack in the middle of DS's nap time. So I'll be going alone and if it's not too hot DS and DH will come later.
I have a sneaky suspicion we will ditch the party early and go back to my parents to swim!

I'm going to be pregnant forever but I expected that feeling with an end of month due date.
I'm really upset about what happened this morning and it's silly but I know my pregnancy hormones are playing a huge role. Long story is I had signed DD up for this big sibling class at our hospital in early July. She was so excited. They draw and talk about how to help change a baby and hold a baby and tour the maternity ward. The class got cancelled one day prior and I found another big sibling class for today in a different hospital system and called and registered. So this morning I got us ready at to the hospital at 8:50 for 9:00 classd and nobody knows anything about it. All I have is an email confirmation that I paid. I get shuffled around for 15 minutes and they finally figure out that they had signed me up for a class at a hospital 40 minutes away but told me the wrong hospital (I would never gave registered at the other one it's almost an hour from my house). Needless to say, I started tearing up. I was both sad and angry. I tried so hard to get this special big girl experience for DD and now she isn't getting it. Im sure I sounded like a psycho when I called the line to insist I get a refund. Irs only $10 but o was mad. The person who signed me up also mispelled our last name and the guy who helped me put had to sort through a mess. DD is much less hormonal than me and was perfectly happy to go to panera and eat a cookie instead.

You are brave! I hope you guys have a good time!
I've done church solo before. There will be tons of family there so it's not like I won't have extra helping hands.

Had my first experience with leaky boobs today - fun! Did not sleep well last night - was crampy, uncomfortable, and had to pee a bunch. However, do not want this baby to come soon so I'm kind of writing off any sign of labor. Needs to wait for my parents to get here on Wednesday, and H and I have our Global Entry for TSA interview Thursday. Those things are a pain to schedule so do not want to miss it. Nothing big on the agenda this weekend - just still working on unpacking, errands, and getting baby stuff ready. I'm in total nesting mode.
I'm jealous of the baby boom, ha. I was up half the night with painful contractions and tons of cramping. Then I pooped and it all went away. 🙄 Nothing happening today yet. Sooo bored with the mind games.
I'm struggling with pregnancy right now. This SPD hurts so much. I can't do anything. Even with the harness that I ordered and had overnighted it's so painful. I feel like a crap mom to DD and I'm just bored because all I can do is sit. I had extreme morning sickness from weeks 10-26 and now this. I struggled for 2 years to get and stay pregnant and I just have not gotten to enjoy this pregnancy really at all. Just feeling really down right now, especially since unless we hit the lottery this will be it for us.
Also got the bill from my RE's office for the next 6 months of cryo fees. Sigh.

Hugs, ellebelle. I'm so sorry you're having a tough time. You're not a crap mom, you're doing your best and you need to take care of yourself and this baby as well.
+1 for being jealous of the baby boom! I'm so excited for everyone meeting their babies, but SO ready to be done and meet mine. I've had this pinched nerve feeling in my right groin and it was awful last night. I took Tylenol and tried laying different ways and nothing helped with the pain, it just throbbed and hurt. Luckily it usually feels a little better in the morning so I'm enjoying being able to walk around and put weight on it, just dreading the evening

I was so done with both pregnancies and could not wait to feel normal again. And then shortly after each birth I cried and cried because I missed being pregnant. And then it fades and normal, the new normal, takes over. Pregnancy and birth messes with your mind. It's so hard to enjoy the moments when you're uncomfortable and beat.

ellebelle (((hugs))) you are a great mom. Just take it one day at a time and try your best, that is all you can do. I have apologized to L so many times for not being able to get up and do things with him or be as active as I want to be with him.
cabbagecabbage I would have been upset too. Is there a way you could do a mini big sister class for just her at home? L loved when I got out his bunny and taught him how to change a diaper and we treated the bunny like a baby telling him to be very gentle. You could draw pictures of what your family looks like and buy a couple cupcakes to have after. I just wanted to offer an idea that might be easy. Either way she will pick up how to be a great big sister when the time comes!
Afm, I cleaned both bathrooms today and I really want to wash all the baseboards but I have a really good book calling my name. The only reason I cleaned the bathrooms was because my Kindle died and needed time to charge!

What a sweet idea. I may try to do something like that. She recently begged for and got a baby alive and loves the diapers and bottles so much.
Good morning. Nothing exciting here. I have been really tired for the last few weeks but it feels like in the last 24 hours it's been ramped up even more. I took like 4 naps yesterday and fell asleep before midnight (unusual for me). And I am still exhausted. I don't know what the deal is. It feels like how it did when I had mono, just without all the other symptoms.
I also feel like my crotch is going to fall off every time I stand up, and it's more constant now so I'm hoping that is a good sign because I'm not a fan, haha.

We are going for a walk soon in hopes that I will make some progress at my last appt on Wednesday. I know it's better to be induced if you have a favorable cervix and I am really going to try to make that happen.
L has been so frustrating today. We have had fights about food and the TV so far. H and I are nearly at the end of our ropes with the whining and crying from L today.
@sarcastic10 good luck on the walk! I'm thinking about taking one today too but it's really freaking hot here. Maybe after dinner it will cool down a bit!
Good luck, hope you make some progress. Don't worry if you didn't- I started my induction last time from zero and made it through! You can do it

We hung out at the lake today and I walked a bunch and swam. Maybe it will get stuff moving, but doubtful. I also got a call the other day from a place I put an application in with about two months ago and they scheduled an interview for this coming Friday. Lol I'm due on Thursday. It seems like a perfect position for me but there are clearly some things to work around. Luckily, it's a phone interview so I'll tell them everything IF they decide to hire me. Lastly, I'm excited about the second baby boom that has hit but am also jealous I'm not a part of it.
