I feel like all my days are mixed up too!
Pretty sure P is going through the 3 week growth spurt she was so uncomfortable from 4am-6am which is normally one of her best time slots to sleep. (Mine too) My poor girl
annapunkalunka, do you have a Nosefrida? I have heard they are amazing for baby boogers.
cbrandt1, I hope your contractions pick back up today!
I have 1 hour of work today, then I am having lunch with my mom. TMI warning - I have already pooped twice since 1 AM and feel a 3rd time coming on and I am irrationally excited thinking maybe I could go into labor soon. I have an appt with the MW tomorrow and I am hoping it is more than just checking my measurements and baby's heart rate at 40+3.
Me: 28, all tests normal DH: 34, very low count, motility, morphology DX - MFI 11/14/09 - Married 01/01/14 - TTC #1 01/06/15 - Started working with RE 04/06/15 - Recommendation - straight to IVF w/ICSI 09/04/15 - Started working with new RE Nov/Dec 15 - IVF w/ ICSI #1 - 11R/8F - 1 transferred, 3 frozen
DS was crying when I put him on the bus this morning. It broke my heart. He did so good yesterday so it was quite surprising. I have a massage booked this afternoon, otherwise not much going on today.

I'm anxious to see how baby is doing at the BPP this afternoon, and hopefully it shows he is head down, since I now feel like I have to pee all. the. time., so I assume his head is pressing on my bladder.
Happy due date, LadyNymeria! Sending lots of "get moving" vibes to those who need/want them. I'm content for baby to keep cooking for the next 2 weeks.
I was checked yesterday at 38.5w and I am 3.5cm. I am irrationally excited about this. I was "barely a 4" after my water broke with DS and I had been in the hospital and on pitocin for hours. I was literally begging for an epi around this time. I know it doesn't mean anything but I told DH that even if baby comes around EDD and makes me wait some, this dilation news has really lifted my spirits so it's a win no matter what. I'll take wins anyway I can get them these days!
Also- DS's Back to School night at daycare is Friday. Should I be in labor, I already feel guilty about possibly missing it. Sigh, hypothetical mom guilt.

TMI but I'm cramping and losing more mucus plug. I'm seriously in awe of how much I've lost these past two weeks. I mean how much more could I have?!
Today is all about DS. I sat and played batman with him until I could not mentally take it anymore we just got done making blueberry muffins together (not from scratch, it's a mix). There's a heat advisory today so we're outside playing in his pool.
I've been having inconsistent contractions since yesterday afternoon. I keep hoping that they'll pick up and do something soon. I'd LOVE to have this baby within the next 3 days.

I lost bits and pieces of mine over the course of a week and a half. Each time I'd be crampy for a few hours then next time I used the restroom there'd be mucus. Apparently, there's a ton to lose. Very disconcerting to think you're done and then it turns out you're not. Save
Apparently the dog's coping mechanism for a small earthquake is completely different than their coping mechanism for other things (power outages, thunderstorms, etc). One of them decided to pee in the middle of the dining room, the other had diarrhea in the new office.
Also. I'm going to have to get out of this house for a little while this afternoon or I'll throat punch someone. MIL is driving me batty, people keep asking if I'm having any signs of labor, and the whole house now smells like cleaning chemicals after spending an hour scrubbing the carpets. My blood sugar was high this morning and I haven't the slightest clue why. I kind of don't even care though, because I have 4 freakin' days left.

Seriously. I haven't lost any this week but mid-last week I was convinced it had to be gone, then nope!! Tons on Thursday and Friday. Did not expect it to be that much!!!
2cm this week. Better than 1 but not as much progress as I was hoping for. They booked me for a BPP Friday.
Sorry about the progress. Luckily it doesn't mean a damn thing Remind me what a BPP Is?
Biophysical profile - seems like it's basically just a fancy name for an ultrasound. My office does them as standard practice once you hit your due date.

I'm seriously bumming. My dad leaves for a work conference Sunday for a week and while no, he won't be in the room while I give birth it makes me really sad he might not be home when the baby arrives.
Hope your contractions start again cbrandt1 Yay for 37 weeks fem Good luck, that's how my la or started rufus426 Happy due date LadyNymeria! Yay for progression kerbear! My friend came over today and steam mopped my floors! I haven't mopped in ages. DS is doing so good with E. Makes my heart happy!
I'm starting to get very anxious about when this baby will arrive. My due date is the 14th, but I'm so afraid he's going to come on the 11th. I've woken up crying several times because I had a dream he was born on that day. I know it's just a day, but it carries so many memories for so many people and most aren't positive.
I've been trying to avoid talking about this because I don't want to jinx myself, but I've gotta get it out.

LT for commiseration cbrandt1, because I feel the same. It's the one day I don't want the little guy to arrive on, but I feel like I've jinxed myself publicly acknowledging it.

unringthebell my DD preferred me to DH 95% of the time. It has only been 10 days and I haven't been left alone with the 2 kids yet, but DD is adapting well and has been ok with DH doing things that she used to only want me to do (bedtime, mainly). My DH has been great at distracting her, if she needs it.
