I'm jealous too! I don't know what my body is doing today but if it doesn't result in labor I will be annoyed, ha. I keep having loose stools, my lower half is in constant crampy pain, and now I can't sleep because I'm nauseous. Blahhhh just shit or get off the pot already, baby! Lol.
Baby day is Wednesday for me, so I plan to spend today and tomorrow getting my house spotless. Laundry, vacuuming, and steam cleaning floors. I'm giddy about having a clean house.

39+2 and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be pregnant until Christmas. Letting Thomas the tank engine parent DS at the moment. I should take him to the park before it rains this morning so he can tire himself out.
I know that it will be so much harder once baby arrives, but I am so done sharing my body and ready to move forward. DS arrived at 39 weeks so I'm feeling pretty discouraged.
40+1 today. My OB screwed up her dates and at first said the 22nd would be my induction date. But now the date can go as late as the 25th. Which is whatever, but I had 22 in my head forever. As of right now I have a 6am appointment Friday to be induced but if my body doesn't respond they will send me home and I will have to come back Monday.
I slept in til 9:30! Who says life with a newborn is hard? 😜
Little guy has been cluster feeding at night to make up for a sleepy couple of days. Last night was actually better - he went more than an hour between a couple of feeds - but so much harder being at home and having to get out of bed. I need to try side lying with him, but rolling around in bed & getting comfortable is still pretty difficult for me.
He was up around 5, ate pretty well, had a diaper change, ate some more, then was wide awake for a while for the first time. I put him back down just before 6, but he was getting hungry again so he was noisy. H held him for a while and tried to keep him calm, but then he pooped and he freaks for diaper changes so he needed to be fed again around 6:30. Then DD woke up. H ushered me back to bed since ds was back to sleeping and he and mil have been up with DD. Hope DD figures out soon he should eat more during the day.

Its my last week of work. I will be more excited closer to Friday. I would really like it to be an easy last week but it probably wont be.
I am also jealous of all the babies! I really want to go into labor before my induction but I have little hope if that actually happening since I am having absolutely no labor signs at all.
My baby has a cold one of the reasons I was excited for a summer baby was less germs and here we are not even 3 weeks in with a cold. Wtf. I feel so bad for her. The TV will probably be parenting the older 2 for the day because they've already been fighting all morning driving me crazy. I feel so defeated and tired.
I'm kind of jealous of all the babies. Logistically not quite ready so baby needs to wait a few more days, but I feel like by the time I finally give birth (probably in August), having a baby will be old news!
glaze sorry LO has a cold. The nose frida was my life saver with DS. He's a January baby and constantly had a cold. Saline spray and nose frida- I get them as presents for new moms and they think it's so gross, but that shit is gold!
First day of maternity leave for me and the cleaner is at the house so I'm trying to do 3 hours worth of errands. Im getting my tires rotated so that kills an hour. I need to keep myself busy or the despondency hits me too hard.
Today's our first full day home. My 4 yo is completely up my butt. I feel suffocated. I was nursing the baby in bed and she was practically laying on top of me. Helppppp.

I was thinking of having H pick one of those up on the way home! I find it gross too but I'll do anything to help her, lol. The things we do as mothers.

Yay for being home. Can you make the 4 year old your helper? Go get mommy a snack...

My 2 year old does this when I'm trying to nurse. I'll tell her it's time to take a nap and she'll run away for awhile!

Hey there ladies! Not much going on over here, just working (tomorrow is my last day!) and pumping to try and get labor started. I'm experiencing contractions but last week when I would pump they'd fizzle out after a little bit, so not getting my hopes up. All that matters to me at this point is that I'm having contractions that are hopefully helping my cervix do its thing!
I didn't realize there were still so many of you that haven't delivered yet, hang in there ladies! I'm going to attempt to get some things done around the house today, we'll see how that goes! Baby laid on her floor mat for a little bit and then ate for a while, so hopefully I have a little bit of time. Pumping and then I'll get on my to-do list! glaze I know how you feel, my two year old does that too. I usually ask her to go get a toy I know that will keep her occupied for a bit, that helps sometimes.
Sooo I just went pee and when I wiped there was blood in my discharge. H and I did attempt to have sex last night but it didn't last very long and I didn't have any blood from that point until now, so I know it could be related to sex but feel like it most likely isn't. I'm trying not to get my hopes up but can't stop thinking "OMG bloody show!!"

tootsie I hear you on the keeping busy! I've been trying to stick close to home but since I live in a small town of 1500, my entertainment options are limited with a toddler. We went to the park and I was sad that it only killed 45 minutes.
We came home and I vacuumed and dusted upstairs, which killed another 45 minutes. Now I'm having painful contractions, so maybe I should keep cleaning!
How long can I possibly just sit at 3cm dilated? There has to be a limit right? I'm walking around feeling like my uterus is just going to fall up out of my body. I'm just sending everyone labor vibes. ALL THE LABOR VIBES.

Just think, that's less your body will have to do once labor starts! I know what you mean though, I feel like my pelvis is going to fall off at this point haha. COME ON BABIES!

I'm trying to be super positive. Haha. But since I had DD at 37, every day over that just feels like torture. These babies need to get their ish together, I have a feeling like I'm going to give birth in an ER lobby at this point

Ugh feeling super frustrated with my body right now. I keep getting my hopes up with labour signs, and then they go away. My wrists are killing me and so is my back. I feel like a failure.

I'm team green, but (FFFC?) I am really hoping this baby is a girl. I'll get over it if this is a boy (I mean my son is awesome), but I know I'll have a moment of disappointment post birth. Anyway a random lady at the grocery store told me 100% I'm having a boy based on how I'm carrying. And hormonal me got way too upset with this news. Really? What is wrong with me? My hormones are making me beyond crazy!

I am doing my first day at home. I am ready for bedtime already. Two kids is a exhausting experience. And i want to chop my boobs off engorgement sucks.
Well I haven't done much since last week. 2cm, 50% effaced. My BP was the highest it's ever been (150/95) so they had me do bloodwork and urine and hooked me up to the fetal monitor for a half hour. All labs came back fine and I only had 2 contractions on the monitor so I am home. My doc thinks all my "signs" today are just my body getting ready and hopefully will happen sometime this week. I had her sweep my membranes again so we will see.
