Also, right now I'd like to strangle MH. He's at a friends house, I layed down to take a nap, put my phone on do not disturb so someone has to call 2x to actually ring through. Guess who called 3 fucking times in a row JUST as I dozed off. I'm up now, I think I'll make a solo trip to target.

thelittleredm, don't feel guilty. At all. Not a single one of us should feel guilty about wanting these kids out as soon as possible. The end is rough, really really rough.
thelittleredm, have you tried taking anything to help you sleep? Tylenol PM, Benadryl, a glass of wine? Ask your MW of course, but all are suggested and encouraged by mine
I can't do the PM or Benadryl during the week because otherwise I can't function at work and half pills have no effect. H is staunchly against me even sipping wine for tasting purposes so that's out :/

Ugh. I understand the work part, but ugh at YH. Maybe get a drs note saying 1 glass A) won't harm baby and B) cohld make you a much nicer, happier wife.
I'm waiting for the bath to fill up so I can take a nice soak. Ds was a clingy mess today and rough on my belly. Mh said he was going to watch Alien while I was relaxing "because you know, creepy little aliens bursting out of people." Haha. Yeah I get it. Maybe putting up with his cheesy pregnancy jokes will earn me some naming favors. We talked about names again and we're still at a stand still. Sighs.

pibblemom, I should try that! Lol I don't see it working in my favor but it would be funny.
ellabee, Thank goodness I'm not sick, too. You have all my hugs.
I cannot catch a break with this baby. I laid down to give my back and legs a break and this baby wouldn't stop punching me or something in my cervix. It felt like knocking. Rude. Sat up and that did nothing. It's still pounding away at my cervix. Ooowwww

This is literally DS inside me right now. I feel so awful that I just want him to calm down and stop moving for like 5 minutes.

So, a friend of mine who is very much into tarot cards told me she did a reading tonight about how long until baby arrives. I didn't know what to say besides asking what the result was. Apparently, baby should be here in the next 40 hours.

Sorry for all the mosh pits inside of you ladies! DD is very busy and kicky but she has enough room that she usually isn't kicking my cervix.
Omg thelittleredm I hope she's right! I take tarot with a huge spoon of salt but some of my friends swear by it
Got an email saying the 19th is the day. What happened to 16-18th? I emailed back something snarky, we'll see what happens. OB was saying they like to have the diabetic patients as the first surgery of the day so that we don't have to mess with insulin while on clear liquids. So those slots may already be booked on the other days.
I think tomorrow I'm going to have a long chat with the complaints department. DH is ready to bust heads and he's hard to rile up.

silvermelody, Me too. At first I had no idea how to respond to her text but decided what the hell, it'd be awesome if it happened and even if she's wrong, the thought was really sincere and nice of her.

Agreed. Except when she calms down I panic and then I'm like wtf, move!
Let's all take a moment to reflect on Janet Jackson having a baby at 50, shall we?
I'm "only" 35 and I'm dying...
I'm in awe of her. I'm already like "omg, I'm gonna be 50 by the time my kid starts driving!" And feel like an "old" FTM at 33. My GRANDMA was 48 when I was born, so... Yeah. Can't imagine doing it at 50.

At least she has the $ to pay people to rub her full time...

This bebe is moving a lot tonight and my ribcage is really uncomfortable.
My toddler is being a toddler, and my evening ended in tears of frustration. I stayed downstairs while DH handled bathtime. Then she was a monster at bedtime and I was mean. I'm so tired and void of patience. I WANT to be a nice and snuggly mama right now in these last days/weeks with her as an only child, but she's making it so hard!
Today was a much better day in terms of my pain and overall patience level. DS didn't go to sleep at a decent time, but he wasn't being a little shit at bedtime. Trying not to think about my BP check tomorrow.
And I am also going to have a conversation with the womb monkey about staying put until after this weekend at least. We are supposed to get snow this weekend and I don't want to be dealing with that and labor.

Oh man. Finally had sex tonight. Pretty sure it was only successful because I told H not to worry about me, I have a vibrator. Even doggie is painful if I don't position myself just right and it's still the only semi-comfortable position.

I'm fairly sure there's not enough money in the world to make me dtd now

Toddler is laying crosswise in our bed. BF is snoring. Thinking of going to sleep alone on toddlers bed... or lay there being annoyed I can't sleep at least
judyblume14 hello twin. That's exactly what I texted mh yesterday. Ds only napped 40 minutes all day and was a toddler terror in the afternoon. I texted that I just wanted to enjoy his last days as the only one but I was miserable and he was miserable and we both ended up in tears. I wasn't sure if it was my snot or his snot that was on my sleeve! So sympathy hugs. Parenting is hard.
lakegirl, parenting is SO hard. The morning picked up right where evening left off. With DD being an asshole about everything from getting dressed to eating breakfast to brushing her teeth to wanting to wear a damn puffy coat in her carseat. I just want to go back to bed..
judyblume14, I think for the first time in 20 months ds is going through a daddy stage which explains a lot. I think he got use to having him around over the holidays. Ds spent most of yesterday crying on my lap, taping my forehead making the sign for dad, and shouting Dada! This morning he pitched a fit at breakfast when mh left the room. Upside: I got to drink my coffee in peace with no interruptions. It was a revelation, is this what it's like to NOT be the default parent?! Heck I would have agreed to a second too! 😂

I am so there with both of you too. I want so much to remember the last few weeks with DD as an only child as a happy time but she's making it so difficult lately. My patience level is at an all time low and it seems like everything is such a struggle for me to convince her to do. Ugh. Parenting is hard.
