I continue to struggle with raging pregsomnia. Just curled up in the guest room, waiting for my brain to chill. And my next pee break.
Nothing new on the baby front. Lab work was great today. NST and Dr on Monday. Maybe we'll talk more about scheduling an induction for around the 40 week mark. I can do another 10 days, right? Sure. Anyone can do anything for a week! Uggghhhh.
In other news, I could go for some hot and sour soup right now. Anybody else indulging in some cravings these days?
Morning! Or... something. Haven't slept yet, myself. I know tomorrow is gonna suck for tiredness.
I caught myself counting days too a couple minutes ago, "now, with DD1, it was 2.5 more weeks til I went into labor...." I am starting to feel silly for all my 'predictions' about this one's arrival. She is gonna come when she comes, and I am just gonna have to suck it up for a few more weeks.
Actually, my current worry is that she is attempting to flip into some nonfavorable orientation in there. But I really can't tell her position on my own. SO looked at me funny the other day when I said I didn't want her deciding to turn breech last minute. I guess he doesn't realize how unlikely it is to have a regular vaginal birth with a breech baby? Not unheard of, but I could see a lot more pressure from medical staff to go c-section. Oh, well.
Today is SO's birthday. He is 32! We probably won't be doing anything for it since 3/4 of our bills are due this coming week and we are maxed out everywhere right now. But, my mom remembered, and gave him a card with some sbux giftcards in it. So maybe he can treat himself to a guiltless coffee at least. I sent him a sappy text message; not really our style, but it makes me happy on the rare times he does something similar, so I like to reciprocate. Oh, the joys of adulting -- when a text message is enough to acknowledge your birthday because bills are due. LOL

Ugh, good morning. I feel like I've been up a million times to pee last night, but it was the annoying kind where I really have to pee and then I get up and it's only a little. Has to be something to do with her position because it's been happening more often. I've also been having hip pains (like my hip is pulling out of the socket) so I'm hoping that means she's working on making her way down lower.
Currently eating cereal and watching netflix. boo being awake so early on the weekend.
Me (30) MH (32) Dx: MFI (low all the things) M. 10/11. TTC Since 01/14 IUI#1-3(Letrozole + Trigger) = BFN Second Opinion. Changed RE's. IVF 09/15 Long Lupron 12R/9M/8F, Transferred 1=BFN. 4 frosties. FET #1 12/15 Transferred 1 (3 still on ice)
Had to get up to pee a million times too. Yesterday while we were out for the OB appt & Walmart & Costco runs, I had to pee so often I felt like I was in one of those bladder leaking commercials!
Today is the second anniversary of my dad's passing. Been thinking about him a lot lately and can't believe how quickly time has passed. He would've been such a great and super fun grandpa to this LO...
Good morning! Our first night at home went well. Ds1s first night was so so horrible, so I was worried, but it went really well. We are ff, so dh got up for his first bottle so I could get a long stretch of sleep, and then I did the 2nd bottle so dh could sleep. I can't believe I actually feel well rested.
My milk started coming in, which is pretty painful. Not sure how long it will last!
Today we are just hanging out and watching the Olympics. Family will likely come over to visit at some point. Oh and dh needs to fix one of our sinks, which started leaking - what a great time for that to happen!
Somehow I only woke up ONCE to pee in the MOTN. I went to sleep around midnight, got up at 5:30, then woke up for good around 8. Amazing. Strangely, DH actually predicted I would sleep really well last night.... He has also predicted that baby would be born on 8/8 from the beginning, which I used to hate him for but now that's sounding pretty damn good. Here's hoping he's right about that prediction as well!
I have zero plans for the weekend, will just be hanging around and watching Olympic coverage!

8 is a lucky number! 8/8/16 would be a mathematically cool bday! (Also, I just really want that baby out for you)

agpjt413 H lost his mom when he was really young, and my dad has end-stage Lewy Body Dementia. It's strange because he is physically still here, but barely recognizes us and does not communicate. He has been very ill for DS's whole life, and it makes me sad to know that they won't share the bond I know they could have.
I always wonder what I should do so that my kids "know" their grandparents who are not here. We talk about them a lot and show DS pictures, but he's a little young to really get it.

I'm so sorry about YH losing his mom so young. And my dad had LBD too! I haven't met too many people who have had loved ones affected by this disease. Definitely PM me if you have any questions or just want to vent/talk. So many hugs - it's so, so tough.
Last night was rough. DH came home and asked if I was okay. I told him not really, I'm exhausted, my head was pounding,and my entire body just hurts. He said "well then go to bed" but he said it with an attitude. I said "oh yeah okay..." And then he started again with the attitude about how he can take care of B just fine without my help. He went into the living room and I started crying. He came back out a few minutes later and said "what is wrong with you?". Cue sobbing. Then I told him to leave me alone and he chased me around "what did I do? Why are you crying like this!?" I told him he needed to be a more compassionate person. "Compassionate about what?!"
Sigh... He really was completely clueless. He thought he was doing me a favor by telling me to go to bed but didn't realize he went about it all wrong. So now he's all cute and sorry and stuff. I got up at at 2am and took the fioricet because it was full on migraine at that point. I'm exhausted.

Thank you so much!! I definitely will! It's tough to find people who have even heard of it, let alone have experience with it. So many hugs to you too - it is definitely a very difficult (and poorly understood) disease.
Last night was so rough. Eventually we did just bring the 18 month old to bed with us and we all got a little sleep. She was up around 4am and just rubbed my belly saying "sister". My heart just melted.
Loss of family is so difficult, especially when thinking about them not getting to know our kids. My paternal grandmother passed away the day I found out I was pregnant with DD. I missed getting to tell her by a hair.
Induction appt is tonight at 8 PM west coast time! Just gotta get through 13 more hours. Planning to spend the day with H and DD, then get dinner with H in SF before we check into hospital.
I can't believe it's here today. Last night, I was getting contractions (15 min apart) and started wondering if things indeed would progress and we wouldn't make it to appt time.
steph yup, no update on kaitkat that I saw. Poor thing...I can't believe all these scheduled inductions and c-sections being cancelled/wait listed to the August ladies!!!
esquette I've been waiting Pandera Bread so I've been going every other week lately. I even take DD and pretend it's a mother/daughter date haha.
remylove1011 I hear you on the feeling like hips are pulling out and hope it means things are moving along.
agpjt413 hugs. It's never easy to realize what you are both missing. It's been 6 years for DH and he still gets sad to realize all his mom is missing out on. We teach DD about "Mom Mom" and she knows who she is in all the pictures.
steph DH is like that too..doesn't realize it's not just the words they say but how they say them. And when pregnant it sounds even worse. So TP to him!
shanny good luck tonight and enjoy the day with DH and DD!
Nothing much planned for today. Just doing some house cleaning and baby prep. I do hope to go get my nails done this afternoon.
We took both kids to Costco today and it was a success! I'm glad because H has been in a mood lately. I think the baby's crying and toddler's craziness are getting to him (even though I take care of 95% of kid stuff!)
I left the baby for the first time and took DD1 on a mommy-daughter date. We went to Target and got a pretzel and popcorn, and she got to pick out a new backpack for pre-K. I feel like all I've done for the last week and a half is yell at her constantly (her behavior has been awful) so I was happy to get to spend some good one-on-one time with her and give her my undivided attention.
