rinny I'm a believer! Ds and I were so stuffy and sick right before Christmas last year. Did the Vicks (baby Vicks for ds) and socks on my feet for bed and I could breathe all night! I don't care if it's real or a placebo.

Just cooked my last Sunday breakfast for a while. I'm really hoping the c-section recovery will be faster this time without the 32 hour induction precursor. Last time I could barely be on my feet for an hour even at six weeks.

Did anyone know that Mariah has a show on E? I am not a fan of reality tv or celebrity shit but we came across her show and cannot stop watching. It's ridiculous.
My back hurts for the first time this whole pregnancy. H and I moved our room around and switched sides of the bed to make room for the bassinet on my side. I think the plastic box spring is broken on this side. We have a sleep number and they don't deliver with a real box spring, just a plastic box that snaps together. This will be the 2nd time we replace it if that's the case.
I think because of that I'm in such a shitty mood I don't even want to be around myself. I just want to be able to sleep again!
Spicy food two days in a row. Lots of walking this week. I just deep cleaned the upstairs bathroom, so lots of scrubbing. Foot rub with the pedicure. What other old wives tales am I forgetting? I opted out of birthday sex due to overindulging in ice cream cake and jalapeño poppers so I guess I could go for that but I'm still feeling super huge from yesterday's celebrations.

lakegirl yoga ball? And my doula used to swear by this stretch where you put one leg up on a step. Supposedly puts baby in the right orientation and opens up your hips.
And the pregnancy pizza? Mediterranean dates? Pineapple?
Or I'll just go look at the baby aw thread on the private board and hope my uterus explodes from all the squishy cuteness! Oh my word look at all those cuties!

Inappropriate physical activity? Sitting on expensive couches in a furniture store?

I'm convinced my yoga ball sent me into labor with DD. I did a couple halfhearted "sit-ups" and I felt this twinge in my abdomen. A few minutes later I had my first contraction.

Late to the party, but I + whatever to yoga ball lakegirl. I can help by adding more pictures of my squish to the thread over on the private board too. Anything to help 😉

Not going to lie, I was a bit nervous for the massage chair during my pedicure yesterday!
lakegirl I'm totally about to shower, blow out my hair, and put on a full face of makeup since I've been having sporadic contractions all day and I had a few friends swear that's what put them in labor

I only own one of three of those items. Spoiler: it's the shower. 😛
MIL arrives tonight, so tonight and tomorrow I will be doing all the things to try and send me into labor before Tuesday morning so I can avoid the induction. I've definitely been reading all the old wives tales. I'm kinda holding on that maybe little man was just waiting until we had someone here to watch DS1. I have some EPO here that I could take. Pineapple also sounds good right now.
My MW told me to start taking epo this week. Now that this weekend is over, and this was when I was supposed to go to Hershey PA for meetings and had to send someone in my place, I'm convinced this LO will go past due date and will be a February baby. Mostly because I'm a bitch on wheels lately and it would be my luck to get even more uncomfortable and cranky.

I felt like a bitch on wheels Friday. I walked in to our flight office, and my flight commander said "you look pissed." I wanted to say "yeah, no shit, I have a bowling ball in my crotch and everything hurts." I evidently had a resting bitch face lol.
Saaaaaame pibblemom. Since she didn't surprise me on my birthday I feel like she's going to make me wait foreverrrrrr. And I hate spelling February. I'm holding out hope for the 20th since it's my grandpa's 90th birthday! One can dream.
I got the slow lady at the deli counter... The other woman had the order behind me completed by the time this woman got the ham unwrapped. Lord help me not jump over the counter and do it myself....

BF and R are outside and Finley is asleep. I feel like I should be doing something but don't know what... mil will be over in an hour. I could be vacuuming... but I don't want to waste my alone time. Should be napping but won't be able to sleep.
MissDemeanor, I vote for lay down and relax even if you don't fall asleep for a true nap
I second this.
I'm about to lie down and do nothing until it's time to feed Bryce and order my own dinner. My mom and brother just left and DH went home this morning to spend the day with DS1. I was supposed to be discharged today but because Bryce was in the NICU, he has to stay until tomorrow. Apparently my insurance will cover four days in the hospital so I wont be sent home until tomorrow as well. One more day of peace, quiet, and having someone else cook and bring me my meals!
heybulldog56 Local to them family know. But I'm not sure if it was conveyed that it wasn't public knowledge. But we also didn't announce the induction date last time either.
And when we announced the pregnancy, we told everyone that we told in person to keep it off social media until we announced ourselves. That's what I get for assuming the same courtesy for the birth.
