That's a good idea mls5871 - I will probably leave them on another couple days (it's only my first day out of the office, anyway) to make sure everyone has everything they need. Then I'll shut them off. I've already had to email our admin because my timecard isn't done and it's not clear that benefits has notified the admins to do it for me. Sigh.
Why did I watch The Kitchen right before lunch??? It was about comfort food and it all sounded so good! I'm pretty sure I'm making buffalo mac & cheese tonight for dinner, but I want a meatball sub for lunch now. Hmm, where to get one?

I think maybe the crampy feeling is contractions. I'm not sure. I'd like baby to hold out for at least Friday, but we'll see what happens. I don't want to tell DH because he's stressed at work (part of why I would hope for Friday at the earliest - they have a huge event Thursday) and I'm suspecting I'll just feel like this for a while. So I'm telling y'all instead I have said the entire time I'd go 2 weeks late, so it would serve me right to go a week early, ha.
I'm home with my feisty little baby girl! I can't wait to write a birth story lol, it was quite the experience.
My recovery has been grosser but not as much painful suffering. I can hardly believe I am only 2 days post partum! Also, baby is actually latching to me!! FX this keeps up
I can't believe I have a little boy AND a little girl!
This post makes me so happy! I can't wait to read the birth story
I'm so excited for all the babies...I'm still here pregnant. Due date is 24th, but csection scheduled for the 17th. I was convinced she'd come early so that probably won't happen.
@amc25 I hope you can get him latched soon and all goes smoothly!

I, too, am still pregnant. Not due until the 18th. However, I'm pretty certain he'll come at least a little bit early because DS1 came on his due date. DH and I are making a Costco run tomorrow to stock up on freezer meals and such.
My mom and DH painted the nursery this weekend and the crib came in the mail today! I'm excited to finally have everything put together.
Ultrasound this morning went well! Baby is head down as I suspected and is measuring only one day off from my EDD.
Of course, getting to the hospital took an unexpected turn when DS took a tumble off the coffee table and bit a hole in his tongue while I was getting ready to leave. I came downstairs to find him sitting with DH with blood all over his face. Since we only have one car, they dropped me off for my ultrasound then went to the walk in clinic to get it looked at since it seemed pretty deep. No stitches or anything needed in the end though, it just looks really gross. DS was so happy the doctor gave him a red car sticker (his favorite). Toddlers.

I've been having crampy feelings too.
There are often a lot of poop cramps around labour time. Contractions are pretty hard to mistake when they happen for real. But cramping can definitely be sign that labour is coming, so really you never know.

I downloaded a timer for funsies. The cramping always lasts about a minute, but the intervals are all over the place - I think it's just a trial run. I'm going to lay down in a bit and binge on The Magicians.
Just got a weird call from my mom. It culminated with her telling me no one in my family ever threw me a shower/comes to my DS's birthday parties because I don't talk about my pregnancies enough.
......OK........
I mean, sorry? IDK why but she always critiques every little thing about me and now I'm crying because I'm not social enough for everyone.
Wow, @priss08. Just wow. Your mom is... something else. Why in the world should how much someone talks about their pregnancies make a difference in how much other people (like grandparents *ahem*) celebrate their child's upcoming birth or subsequent birthdays?! Seriously. WTAF.
She's always been this way to me. I'm very introverted and she's not, but she seems to think being an introvert as a personality flaw. Among countless other things...
IDK, she's a pretty great example of the kind of mother I DON'T want to be for my own daughter.
Also, she doesn't even like being a grandmother. She says she's too young, she's 60.
TBH, my mother and I were estranged for almost 10 years and I only started trying to build a relationship with her when my son was born because of pressure from my siblings.
What is wrong with your mom? Who cares how much or little you talk about your pregnancys? Why would anyone (in their right mind) care? It's up to you what you feel comfortable talking about. She needs to back off.
Trust your instinct. Family can be the worst.
I guess she's comparing me to my SIL. She was one of those out in the open women, which is fine, but she didn't have a high risk pregnancy. Even though I'm not high risk anymore I'm still dealing with bp problems and mandatory rest time.
I don't feel it's my responsibility to entertain everyone with my crotch fruit.
I'm sorry your mom is such a major douche canoe @priss08. Nothing she has said is a reflection of reality. I'm very introverted and I have also been made to feel that it is a personality flaw. Like it is somehow rude. Yet I was raised to be seen and not heard so why is it shocking that I turned out this way? Anywhoooo, you're awesome and she's off her fucking rocker. A big lol to not being old enough to be a grandma. My Hs mom is only 43 and loves letting people know she is a grandma.

I know exactly what you mean. I've been told being an introvert is rude or selfish before. I mean, what?
@priss08 I'm sorry That is such a strange thing to criticize you about. I'm sure its especially hard given the history between you two. LAY OFF PRISS! We you! There's absolutely nothing wrong with being an introvert.

I don't get it! In my head, I am being polite by not over sharing or speaking "out of turn" or whatever. It's not like I'm refusing to answer people when I'm spoken to. I just don't feel a need to post whore all over social media (don't care if anyone else does it fwiw) and I don't need to run a live update via texts to people. It's not all about me me me. Also, I hate talking about me. I'm much more interested in other people.
So which of us are still pregnant? I feel like our numbers are diminishing.
Me too! Quoted for gif. We are re-watching The Office and I realized that Jim & DH have similar senses of humour (DH is much milder though lol, no jello staplers).
