Am I even working at this point? I missed work yesterday and even with making up the tasks I missed yesterday, I'm still bored out of my mind. This is pushing me over the edge..rescue me baby! Shamelessly overusing the Internet right now.
linewifekat i usually try to keep it to one 16 oz latte, or like a medium. Or an iced coffee with cream a day. But that's not like dr recommended intake, just my personal rule. Dd seems to be healthy and adjusted fine when she was off my breast milk haha. No crashes!

linewifekat can't wait for your birth story! I'm gearing up for my home birth and love motivation.
I'm still sick as a dog over here, really asking baby to stay in now so I can clear out before labor. DS also pooped about 20 minutes ago but says he doesn't want his diaper changed so he's playing by himself and I can Internet. I didn't fight him on it.

pivot, much appreciated. DH is now in a bad mood, has a headache, and is taking a nap. We always end up owing more than we anticipate. DH is technically self employed and it blows. Yay for paying more money to Uncle Sam with impending hospital bills!

@zcookiemonster - I am asking little guy the exact same thing, I've had a cold since Sunday and do not want to be in labor dealing with this at the same time. I hope you feel better soon!

Just lost a huge string of mucous plug with bloody show! Cramping still, not really contractions yet but enough that I just took a bath to cope. Hopefully by later tonight things will get going! Maybe another "day after due date baby". Feeling more optimistic than I have been anyway.
They are running late and I really have to pee but they are going to want a urine sample. #preggoproblems
The worst. I've just gone to the back and peed and left my sample for them because I couldn't hold it any longer. Oh well. They should know better than to hold pregnant people up when it comes to peeing!
And I continue to be 1cm dilated. I've been 1 cm for 3 weeks now so.....kind of discouraging even though I know anything can happen, and I'm still just 38 weeks.

Lost more plug with bloody show 2 hours ago, laid down for a nap in case this kicks up late. Just woke up, ate some supper and finally had an actual contraction with more goo and blood. We'll see where this goes but I'm getting excited! If it follows the timing of DD2 (which I hope) then we'll be hospital bound by midnight. If it follows the timing of DD1....more like midnight on Friday. FX!
Contractions at 5-1-1 but no progress after two hours so they sent me "home". The nurse told me not to go far so we're at my dad's for the night. The contractions have calmed down but they said I'll probably be back within 48 hours.

Spent the entire day in the NICU. C nursed well and was sweet as could be. Today was a good day!
I'm just now getting ready for bed. Color me exhausted!
And WTF psoriasis. It's back on my nipples and boobs, same as when I nursed J. And I'm 99% sure the dermatologist is going to want me to come in to see her. Eff that. I've got a sick kid at home, a sick kid in the NICU, and I can't drive. I'm really REALLY ready to have a day with no new medical surprises.

Who knows, we might end up with birthday buddies staz. MIL is on her way over and the midwife has been updated. Contractions are 15 mins apart but with DD2 they went from 15 to 2 really damn fast so we'll see what happens. I just want to get the show on the road.
