Thanks @janetheconquerer. I have so much to do, idk where to start. I'm hoping we can wait until Tuesday to give both of us more time to prepare.
Here's what you do. Relax. Pack a bag. Arrange care of dd Relax Rest Install car seat Rest Relax Don't stress.
From what I read you need to rest and not stress. Whatever happens is going to happen. Everything will fall into place. Stay positive amberlie, you're a great mom and you and baby are going to be fine!!
Remember you just need your support system and a car seat right away!! Everything else will come in due time.
Thanks @janetheconquerer! I'm packing the bag tonight while DH is cooking dinner. We have the carseat, just need to move E's convertible to the side and put h's in the middle. Also need to register online at the hospital tonight. I'm trying not to stress, just wondering why this is happening. Nervous about induction too but I've dilated 2cm in 6 days so hopefully that's a good sign.
I was induced with A amberlie, it's not bad. An IV drip of meds to induce. Then they break your water if they need too (don't look at instrument), it doesn't hurt. Then contractions like normal labor. You did vaginal the first time, right?
I'm glad you're taking care of the very most important things first. Just think, maybe you over prepare but you'll be ready early if you don't go in this weekend.
But mist importantly, breath, relax, and stay positive! We are here for you if you need to vent or anything!
I was induced with E as well @janetheconquerer but it was 40+4. It was long but not bad and I started at barely 1cm. I did do vaginal first time, expecting the same this time unless H doesn't tolerate labor.
My sister is throwing a fit because 1) I said I don't have time to make 100 jello shots for her and 2) I might not be there for her wedding Sunday. Ugh.
Hugs amberlie! Stressing won't do you or H any good. @janetheconquerer have a great list to help you focus. Much love to you guys, keep us informed as you can. ❤
amberlie, at this point tell her to f off! Holy cow, this is about you and baby staying healthy, that's a little more important than hello shots or a wedding. AND this is the chance she took at moving her wedding to around your due date.
You dont owe her anything at this point. You need to stay focused on yourself and H at this time. If she can't accept that without any smart remarks, than its time for you to walk away. I'm sorry but you don't need that right now. You need to relax and stay stress free!
ampaints I'm responding to the tag from last weekend because I'm just now seeing it! I'm doing well! We were in Oklahoma last weekend for my aunt's wedding and that was so much fun!
The house is coming together! Downstairs is completely done, and almost all the painting upstairs is done.
MH and I have been watching Shameless in the evenings, but since he is currently watching basketball I think I will take this time to try to catch up here!
layloo08, Thinking of you today. I know I already replied last night, but I'm so angry that this happened to you and I just feel bad that you're having to deal with it. It also seems so wrong that you have suspicions about who did this but there's really no recourse without probably cause. I hope you're able to feel safe in your home and sleep better tonight.
amberlie, Sorry to hear about the possible IUGR. How many weeks are you now? I hope your sister can get her head out of her ass and realize that the health of your baby is way more important than jello shots or your presence at her wedding. Are you open to a Halloween birthday for baby Hazel, or are you hoping to avoid delivering on Monday?
shellyr What are you doing on here?!! Is the house packed? I hope you're not up all night. Movers come tomorrow, right?
Today was Day 1 of solo parenting and tonight was just a giant fucking shitshow. The kids were terribly behaved and I was not the parent that I'd like to be. I really hope things get better over the next few days.
I have to get everyone up, dressed, fed, and out the door tomorrow morning to get the twins to preschool on time. That seems like a joke, plus I need to shower and get myself ready before the kids wake up since there is currently nowhere I can safely leave Abigail when she's awake.
aydee I am 37+1 today, so she'll be born between 37+3 & 38 weeks exactly. I love Halloween so don't mind the Halloween birthday, although ideally I want her to stay through Tuesday if she can just to give her more time. But if it's iugr, extra time could do more harm than good I think. Either way, Halloween is fine with me if OB thinks that is best.

Morning all. Tonight is Trunk or Treat so I'm finishing up decorations for that and going shopping for our weekend getaway next week! We rented a cabin in the U.P. and I'm stoked (though it's likely going to be cold AF). Also I think I'm getting close to third tri (when does it start?!? I'm 26w4d). Hooray for the homestretch! This is the best I've felt at this point by far, though I'm starting to feel a little sore and achy by the end of the day. Also starting to panic a bit because we have no name, no real preparation done and (with the holidays coming up) I should probably start addressing these things..it's funny to think how on top of things we were with DS... then with DD things got done but it was much more lowkey. This time around I feel like I"m just going to buy a few cases of diapers and wipes and hope for the best
The dog puked in the livingroom but I didn't see it. Then I wondered why W's play mat was wet....he had been walking through it and playing in it. Just finished with our shower. The day is not off to a good start. P.s. it was "just" bile. I'm trying to convince myself that's somehow better.

M was up for the day at 5:15...not cool dude...not cool at all! Cold, damp and dreary here today. Wish I could be in bed. Instead I'm at the office, which is very quiet this morning, trying to figure out my new spotify account. I know, I'm old, but DH got the family package so now I may as well use it!

layloo08 , Someone may have already covered this but I would alert the credit agencies in case any one tries to open accounts in your name.
I did! Noah's can't get an alert because he is under 18... We are signing up for Life Lock soon though. The credit agencies only have 90 day fraud alerts. You can renew but I know I would forget. Basically I was reading an article about identity theft and it says that often, people don't try to steal your identity immediately because they assume you will put forth measures to stop it. It says within 10 years of the cards being stolen, someone will most likely try. UGGGGHHHHHH.
