Tuesday TMI/Randoms

[notagoddess]

Blah. I locked my keys inside my car and now I can't go home. MH is in his way to pick me up but I work downtown and traffic is atrocious because of the Pats event. It's going to be a while. Now that we're out downtown I wonder if I can convince him to go out for dinner. DNW to shop and cook after this.

[coffeeonice]

notagoddess the universe is definitely telling you to eat out downtown! I hope a great dinner comes from your accidental key-locking.

My back hurts during my BH today. That means the baby's coming right? -For sure!- says everyone 👏🏼👏🏼

Wishful thinking this afternoon. I'd like to eat my cheeseburger at the movie theater first, but I'm ready after that. Going to see Hidden Figures tonight. Should be fun.

shawnabm1320 aww, I hope he feels better soon. In the meantime enjoy the cuddles.

@wineandcupcakes - Eek!!! Baby time tomorrow! How exciting! And I'm glad you researched the c section. There are so many options and requests you can make. I hope your doctor's are able to fulfill some of those for you. And best wishes for a speedy and boring delivery! Can't wait to read about it!!!

I got a mani/pedi and feel like a new woman! And received flowers in the mail! MH is making chicken parm for dinner, and we're having butter pecan ice cream cake for dessert. Whaaaaaat?!?! Feeling all the love today

shawnabm1320 - he is so cute, sorry the little tike isn't feeling well.

I have spent the day doing 2 big grocery shopping trips to stock up on everything. All of the non-perishables are still in the car for DH to bring up since there are 3 flights of stairs between car and kitchen. I also managed to package all of the meats and cook 2 pounds of meatballs. Tomorrow is making lasagna and freezing dough for homemade Stromboli.

In regards to yesterday, I had another convo with the 'rents to tell them exactly where we stand on the birth. DH and I are in agreement that only immediate family and a few very close friends are welcome to come visit at the hospital, but they have to text or call beforehand to make sure that I am getting the rest I need (DH's main concern) or not in the middle of a feeding. I will not be telling anyone when we go in labor except for my parents but not until we are progressing since they are 8 hours away. Thanks again for all the advice yesterday.

Sounds like a good time to have a baby!

[shellbell]

coffeeonice I wanted to see Hidden Figures! Jan 31 was my first day of leave, and I was going to treat myself to lunch and a movie. Aaaaand I had a baby instead.

notagoddess if you tell DH to meet you at a restaurant and you've already ordered an app...then I guess you have to eat!

It's also my sisters birthday and she's going to be Rs god mother. So she is hoping for Friday! I would like to go earlier than that. But I'll take that over an induction. I would be 40+3, which is exactly what I was when I had Kin.

I'm going to hope for Friday too!

No progress since last week. I'm still at 1.5cm.
Friday I have an appt for what will be a BPP from what I understand, they said they will verify fluid levels
Induction is booked for the 14th, but I'm really
hoping we don't get to that point, I really didn't want to be induced :/

[oldbaylover1024]

Whoa! Friday may be everyone's day!

I've had painful contractions since my pedi. Did I start something here? Probably not, but here's to wishful thinking LOL!

[shawnabm1320]

Ugh. H took my car to get pizza for us and it is now malfunctioning. He dropped it off at my dad's (he's a mechanic), but now we have to figure out what I'm going to do about a car since he's going out of town. His coworkers better really need him to be there. I am not pleased. Not. Pleased.

There is a pressure point on your ankle that is supposedly supposed to kick start labor.

[littleredfish]

Just here to whine. My midwife appointment was about as promising as the last. Baby head is still too high. She said "well it's a bit lower!" But she still didn't bother doing a sweep again so I think she was just trying to sound optimistic. 39w measuring 41w. Gravity alone should be pulling his giant baby down.

I think I need to know exactly where this pressure point is.

@evelyn3 I hope things pick up for you before the induction. On the brighter side you could have a valentine's baby! My induction is on the 13th, and while I'm not hoping for an 18 hour induction like last time, I think it would be so sweet to have a baby on v-day.

[EmMilAlly]

Henry seems to know something is up and is so clingy. It's also like a switch went off in my h's head and he's trying to make up for 18 months of me doing almost everything parenting related in one day. I guess I should appreciate it but I'm pissed and want him to just back off and let me have these last few days with the usual routine. DNW H poking around and messing up our sacred bedtime routine.

I should add that my H does help out with so much, but I am 1 million percent the default, often solo parent.

I have come to see the sweet side of it. My H's birthday is valentines, so my two "boys" would be my valentines. It's kinda cute lol

I hope things go faster than the 18 hours you had last time!

[nomnom]

DNW Valentine's Day babies.

Evelyn3 Your's is a special case. That would be sweet.

[loves2shop4shoes]

Is this normal? My entire stomach has been hard as a rock for hours. And just feels extremely uncomfortable and tight. I've been nauseous since yesterday.

It's not a contraction; it's constantly hard. Is this normal?

Baby still moves all the time. And no actual pain. Just discomfort...

:/

[dancerspose]

Evelyn3 that's so cute about Valentine's Day and you two boys. I was hoping for a valentines baby, but had to settle for an Inauguration Day one instead.

[EmMilAlly]

loves2shop4shoes I have no idea if it's normal but I had something similar happen a couple weeks ago. Baby had moved into a new position and was stretching my ute in a way that made it feel hard everywhere. It was really, really uncomfortable. I could tell it wasn't a contraction because I could find a soft spot. When is your next appointment?

[staz]

No progress. Boo. But she said I could go at any time and I'm scheduling an induction next week for February 27th with my second favorite doctor. I could have done the 19th with my doctor (I was tempted) but I decided to wait another week.

[coffeeonice]

Well I too scheduled an induction, for MARCH 3RD. Thanks for nothing midwife lol. She asked me what date I wanted, just in case I go past due..so I said March 1st. She comes back out and goes oh looks like we already signed you up for the 3rd, that good? I suppose. Let's not have it come to that though.

[notagoddess]

coffeeonice, I definitely think a March baby is a possibility for me too.

Today I've walked, had sex, and eaten a bunch of dates. I doubt any of it will make a difference but at least it feels like I'm doing something.

[linewifekat]

Looks like my water broke about 20 minutes ago. Whoever is up tonight, if yall could pray for contractions to start by morning that would be great. I'm heading back to bed!

[flyinghorses6]

I'm up linewifekat good luck and sending tons of contractions and a speedy delivery your way! Good luck!!

[Evelyn3]

I'm up too linewifekat - here's hoping things start up by morning and all goes smoothly and speedily for you!!
