I would pay large sums of money to be able to take some good cold meds and go back to bed. DS slept through the night for the first time in only god knows how long and I was up 3 times with leg cramps. One of them made me foot go in a weird direction and I had to walk to the bathroom like that because I was about to pee. I'm hoping for a less eventful night tonight. I may take a Benadryl or unisom to help knock my ass out.
Our weekend plans may include being iced in. I got the rest of my craft supplies for DD's room yesterday and I'm excited to get started. If we have power, I'll start washing her clothes and maybe even her sheets. Might as well!
I'm supposed to go to IL for work Sunday night for meetings on Monday, but this ice might push that trip back a couple of weeks.

My sleeping through the night streak will end at 2. I was up from 2am to 5am.
I somehow hurt my sides/lower rib cage messing with the carseat and stroller, which arrived yesterday. I wanted to make sure they fit together and also just play with the new toys Only had to watch 1 instructional video to figure out how the stroller opens and closes - winning! There's a strap on it that still doesn't have a clear purpose, but I think I understand all the other bits. For the most part.
DH hired a cleaning service to do a deep clean of our place and they are here today. It was nice of him but I feel really awkward about it. I spent the last few days pre-cleaning and now I'm hiding in the basement. Total FWP, I know. At least I can catch up on This is Us!
moutonrouge is it a strap for "universal" infant seat fit? My stroller has that and it's pretty random if you're not using it for an infant seat.
Sorry your ribs are sore.
I think it might be a carrying strap for when it is folded up. It doesn't have a buckle or anything like the "universal" car seat adapter pieces. They don't label all the parts in a diagram so it was hard to sort out.
kristhegirl - +1 on the cat. When I'm pregnant is the only time he'll cuddle with me. Of course, I'm the one who takes care of him all the time, but the only love I get is when pregnant.
I had the worst heart burn last night so I ended up sleeping sitting up on the sofa but now I'm having serious pelvic pain. All my friends told me about a point in pregnancy when you're so uncomfortable that you're no longer dreading labor, I think I'm rapidly approaching that point

That is so true. Last time I remember there came a point where I didn't care what I had to do I just didn't want to be pregnant anymore.

I cried and told MH I was going to be the only person in history to stay pregnant forever. And then I was so scared when my water broke that is wasn't really labor. THANK GOD it was, but I would have sobbed if they sent me home.

ETA: I was only 3 days late.
I made the mistake of crying to my mom that I was going to be pregnant forever. I was almost 42 weeks but with one of my brother's my moms due date was around thanksgiving and brother didn't arrive until Dec 28th.
She's STILL pissed at her Dr. Her dates were probably off but....still.
Gettin an NST done right now. I felt all kinds of weird coming here because it is where I delivered C. Well they are running my test in the room I actually had him in so it is even more weird!
Just had my first appointment with my old ob and I am relieved to be back with her. She is amazing. Looks like this baby is coming via csection! We will be booking my surgery at my next appointment. Im scared but it is a relief to know that this baby and I will not have to go through shoulder dystocia again. But yeah, im super nervous for a csection.
I'm super excited for this evening. We're having a board games night with a friend and her husband which should be really fun. She's due with her first just under 3 weeks after me so it's been really fun doing this together. Her poor DH is so confused by pregnancy things so we said he needs to get together with another dad to talk him through it like my DH did with a couple of his buddies last time.

obi yay for a plan! I feel like knowing in advance has to be better than a surprise C. Now you can research all the best ways to ease recovery.
Not sure what your hospital's policy is, but at mine, planned C's still do immediate skin-to-skin, obviously barring a medical intervention need. If that's something you want you might ask about it.

DH was born 5 weeks late. MILs doctor went out of town and she just kept waiting. I was like, heck no. I'd be in there saying get this thing out!
I'm with you on that one. That's pushing a whole year of pregnancy!

Youre absolutely right about knowing in advance! I think it is just the finally knowing that has me a little weirded out. Im sure once I do some reading I will feel more at ease. I knew deep down that this was the best route and I am happy it is the plan. I definitely want to do skin to skin. Our hospital is very pro skin to skin/breastfeeding etc so I would be surprised if that isnt doable. I know that they get the spouse to do skin to skin if mom cant so thats nice.
Also can I get a HALLELU that my vagina wont be blown wide open and left in disarray?! There really has to be something said for not having your undercarriage all jacked up.

MIL'S family didn't believe in doctors, so she and her siblings were born at home, she was young when she had DH, and she isn't very good at advocating for herself. DH came out completely dry. MIL had to stay in the hospital because she ended up being so sick. They both could have died.
