If you're 23 months old and your mother is having a baby via c-section in 4 days, what do you decide to do? Get yourself half way out of the crib, to the point where in a few more good tries you're going to be able to scale that thing.

*facepalm* We are so doomed.
Children are masters of Murphy's Law
The best part is that the video monitor camera in that room is in the process of breaking. So I can't even see if she's about to fall out.

She's trying to help you stick to your lifting restrictions post c section. Haha. Hopefully it was a one time attempt!
I just looked at the bassinets, all ready for the babies to be brought home. Then I burst out crying. I still can't believe my dreams are really coming true.

Ok well now I am crying. So, so happy for you and all of our mamas who had a long road to parenthood
DD has a baby doll she loves too. It's so sweet seeing her feed her baby a bottle, change her, and play with her.
We are checked in and waiting for my room. I started having more contractions so we called ahead to come in right after dinner (an hour before appt). The restaurant was very nice...they gave me a free mousse to go and wished us luck.
bocaburger, I'm so excited for you and all the moms to be who had long roads to parenthood!
DH and I had an awesome date day, we really needed it. We went to BRU and got all our last minute little things off the registry. Then went out to dinner, came home curled up and watched some tv. It was awesome to just hang out and relax together. I know we don't have many of these 'just the 2 of us weekends' left. And as excited as I am for LO, I'm gonna miss our lazy weekends...

H is making smores and hot chocolate and I am on the couch watching the Olympics. I can think of no better way to spend our third-to-last childless night. :-)
So.... SO maybe wants to go to Portland next weekend for a tournament. I will be 38 weeks, it is 8 hours away, obviously I am not going either way. I told him if he can figure out a way to swing it, then it is his call to go or not. He would be gone 3 days.
I am not sure exactly how to feel about it. Like, with DD1 we both drove 2.5 hours to Seattle at 39 weeks. Would not do again, lol. But Portland is super far away, and he would have no way to get back in a hurry. But, he really loves going to these tournaments.
Agh. Well, I left it up to him. We have some money contingencies to cover this week, anyway. If those don't happen, no way in hell he can leave town, anyway.
Baby was just fussing in her bed and H said,"when did you go to bed, 9:30? So you've slept 6 and a half hours then!"
First, you counted wrong - it would be 5 hours. Second, she's already been up once!!!
"Oh I didn't hear you get up."
Of course you didn't. Don't tell me how "rested" I must be. Grrr.
God, I remember the days when my H would say, "oh, the baby slept through the night!" Wrong! He just didn't wake up the multiple times I did. Sigh. Are all husbands like this?

venyia I wouldn't be comfortable with H being 8 hours away due to something he chose to do. For fun. At 38 weeks.
H was supposed to go to a huge annual convention for work at 37 weeks to 37.5 and I said no:( he obvi could've gone but I was happier to have him home.

Woke up with prodromal back labor. Ouch! Besides the whole safety thing, the point of the RCS was to avoid all this drama. If I have to do nights of prodromal labor leading up to it, there will be tears.
Today is my second to last full day being pregnant!!! Aaaah!
The dog is being a complete nut, in the sweetest and most adorable of ways. I think she can tell something is going on. I feel so guilty that I am about to turn her life upside down.
venyia, I also would not be comfortable with H going far enough away that he could not easily get back if my water broke. A couple weeks ago he went to see his parents 2 hours away, but got stuck in some bad storms and couldn't get back until late that night. It really freaked me out.
coffeequeen14 don't feel bad, I have had sex dreams about the WEIRDEST people and I'm quite sure they didn't mean anything. Blame your hormones.

I got really excited for a second, but then pout because yeah, it would make sense that you don't want to drive all the way out here. I don't blame you for being nervous about your SO being so far away, too.

I legitimately teared up reading this. I'm so happy for you, Boca. It's been a long, hard road and though that road will always be a part of your life, I'm also glad you've found the one to parenthood. You have and will be an amazing mother to these two little people. <3
And that goes to all of you that I had the honor of going through TTC with on 3T or GKU, infertility or no infertility. I'm so happy to have joined you for your struggles, your tears, and your success. Nothing makes me more happy than to see you all get what you've fought so much for at the end of this whole ordeal.

venyia, for me, no way, no how is DH going to be 8 hours aways this late in the game. He has been passing on fishing trips all summer since late May, by his choice. He is normally gone every other weekend fishing during the spring and summer. He is not comfortable being 6 hours away. But has continued to travel for work up to four hours away. As of two weeks ago (36 weeks) we talked sync he is yo be no more than a hours drive from the house at any point in time. His brother, who he works with, told him Friday that he isn't passing any job to him that is more than 10 miles outside the city limits This kid could come with only a seconds notice, there is no option but for him to be here, period!

And now Rama's making me cry.
Rama I can't tell you how wonderful and magical it's been to have your support through this process, despite your dream getting delayed. Some day I will be the one cheering you on as you get ready to meet your rainbow.
Aw Rama !! If I were somewhat less preggly, I would have considered making the trip with SO. I really like getting out of town once in a while. Unfortunately, belly is meeting steering wheel lately, so I don't even like driving for necessary trips, and that whole 8 hours would be on me if I did go, haha.
It didn't even occur to me that you were South of me XD.
And big hugs on your rainbow quest, too. I know that we all will be here to cheer you on when it is your turn to bitch about the last few weeks of pregnancy (I kid! I hope). You have been a terrific support for everyone else. ❤
And it seems like consensus is, SO is nuts if he goes. I don't think I would be mad at him for it. Just kind of sad to be alone while having this baby. I kind of expect him to be here to make sure my head is on straight and I don't forget anything while in labor. But then, if I make a huge deal and baby DOESN'T come that weekend, I would feel bad.
