I am so incredibly thankful for DH letting me get a 4 hour block of sleep. Whoo!
And thankful that the summer day camp DD1 went to in June had a spot open next week that I could get her in.. We will all be happier because of it... And school starts 2.5 weeks after that!

I'm thankful that DH dealt with DS when he got up at 5am... DS never ended up going back to sleep. I'm also thankful that when I took over with DS at 6:30 he agreed to watch TV in my bed which bought me 40 more minutes of sleep!
Then DS was a trainwreck getting out the door this morning. Just when I think we're back in a good routine with his sleep habits, everything hits the fan again. Sigh.
I'm thankful for AC. That's about it today lol. I had a minor breakdown last night because even with AC, this insane heat wave is really getting to me, in addition to feeling shitty all day every day. So I just sleep. I keep just praying my water will break so I don't have to analyze false labor anymore.

willow yessssss to the water breaking. I think this daily.
Thankful for H taking over sleep duty last night for DD. Also thankful she wasn't a total jerk and didn't take over an hour to get to sleep so H and I actually got to spend time together.
Lastly, I'll be the most thankful if I'm dilated enough for them to strip my membranes at my appt today.

I am so incredibly thankful for my village. My mom and my friend stepped up this week and took over care of DD so much. My friend has taken over driving her to and from camp and is keeping her for another 2 hours after each day. My H had to go back to work since his union won't switch his vacation. So the good news is he gets a week off after my due date in a week.
Malcolm has been a really good sleeper and eater and I've had short but consistent sleeps of a couple hours all night long.
Part of me wants to run errands and clean but I'm taking my midwife's advice and resiting and resting this week. I'm in my bed eating fresh mozzarella on a bagel and watching Netflix. I honestly feel better than I did super pregnant right now.

I'm thankful for a decent stretch of sleep last night and my Moby. It's been letting me get things done when Finn is fussy. She's no longer gassy but I think she's getting overstimulated and having a hard time falling asleep.

H goes back to work Monday and I have a week before DS starts preschool. I'm thinking about pawning him off on family or friends to help next week while I'm solo.

My OB may as well have told me I'll be pregnant forever. She postponed booking an induction because baby isn't low enough. And now I have to go for an appt Monday and I have no childcare for DS on Mondays. My Dad is semi-retired and said he'd help out with DS and then decided to take on extra shifts at work next week and have an electrician come to the cottage so he won't be home for a few days.

Taking dd back to the pedi today. She was inconsolable crying for over 2 hours last night. It was awful. I think her belly hurt. Pedi was worried about her weight, but feeding her more often is making her upset.

Hang in there littlesthobo. I'll be pregnant forever with you. And I have to take my son to 90% of my appointments, and it's never been an issue. I just make sure to have lots of snacks!
I'm thankful that I got approved for Global Entry/TSA Pre Check. Baby can now come at any time as my calendar is completely free. However, I'm feeling pretty fabulous so very thankful for that. I have a feeling that unless my growth U/S tomorrow shows a concern, I'll be pregnant for a while longer. Getting a bit antsy to have this baby but ok with remaining pregnant as long as I continue to feel good.

I am thankful that H has helped with L so much and just let me relax.
I am so ready for S to be here. I am so done with work... tomorrow is my last day but my manager keeps assigning me new work. At this point I am going to be leaving a ton of loose ends for them to sort through because she keeps assigning me new stuff. Some poor person on my team will be assigned to sort through all my cases.
Sorry littlesthobo . I also had to take my 4 yo DD to most of my OB appointments and it sucked. She's a major AW for adult attention and I'd practically have to yell at her to get her to stop talking long enough for me to talk to my dr. Can you bring some snacks that take a long time to eat or bring a new cheap toy? I also talked to her beforehand about the dr checking my bottom so she wouldn't freak out or start rapid-firing questions about it while I was in stirrups. Good luck.

Thanks rungirlrun and katelou. You're right, I can make this work. DS is pretty laid back and too young to understand and ask questions, so I'll bring along the iPad. Maybe I should download some Thomas and Paw Patrol!

I also took ds to appts. He would watch truck videos on you tube. (And eat snacks)
Sam is the laziest little man, it's nice but I need him to wake up and eat! He was diagnosed as SGA due to being right under the 10th percentile for weight, so we really need to make sure he's eating frequently. Kinda hard to do when he falls asleep with my nipple in his mouth and refuses to wake no matter what we do haha

My random - a woman asked me how far along I was at the store as I held my clearly newborn baby.....
I would have given her the biggest bitchy face. Some people are just idiots and there seems to be no cure.
AFM - I am so thankful to have this beautiful baby girl. I can't get enough of her. She is my rainbow baby and I know the triggers are still going to come strong as she grows.
I am also thankful that my nips finally toughened up and I am not in excruciating pain when nursing anymore.

Ray I hope you just patted her on the head and walked away.
Anyone else getting annoyed with the constant check ins from family/friends? My Mom is the absolute worst. Seriously, if a baby had exited my uterus you would know. Leave me be woman.
And also, the number of people who have asked about the state of my cervix. When did this become okay?

Lol I just said "oh no, hehe this is just aftermath" and then she looked mortified and apologized.

Lol she will never speak to another "pregnant" lady again.

Ugh. Flint does this too!!! Such a sleepy eater
Is there anything specific you do to get him to want to feed? We'll even strip Sam down to just a diaper and move his hands and tickle his cheeks and most of the time he just keeps sleeping away. It feels so wrong to try so hard to wake a sleeping baby, goes against everything I thought I knew! Haha 😊
