Ugh, not me. I spent yesterday afternoon moping around the house close to tears because I'm so pregnant & ready to be done. I pulled out the exercise ball & stocked up on RRLF tea. I don't actually expect either to put me into labor, I know she will come when she's ready, but the thought that I might have another 3 weeks of this (my Dr doesn't like to go past 41w) makes me so anxious.
DD1 goes to my mom 2 mornings a week so I can work and get things done, and today is one of those days (is it bad that I look forward to the days DD's with my mom and H is at work?)! 1 dog has a vet appointment, but other than that I'm going to the bank and grocery shopping, then sitting my butt on the exercise ball and obsessively drinking my tea..don't mind me.
kaits8 the nurse that did my ultrasound said sex is the only old wives tail that works. The semen gets your cervix ready.
Dh was all excited last week since he thought we were going home to have sex then my OB said surprise you're having a baby today.
Ugh sex...DH asks multiple times a day. We've haven't had sex since maybe 20w? Things are so painful down there it's the last thing I wanna do but I might just have to suck it up. H is desperate enough that he says "you don't have to do anything, just lay there!" So romantic.
I'm 38 weeks today but no sign of baby. Today is my birthday and I was secretly hoping to share it with this little guy but it's not looking like that's going to happen.
Today sucks so much already. I wrote a tl;Dr post but it's pointless.
I am definitely struggling to bond with DD. I feel that I love her very much but I keep thinking how desperately I miss my days and routine with just C. I feel like C is basically a part of me that I love so completely. DD I love but... I don't know how to put this into words.
Last night I just wanted to pack up DS and leave. Just me and him.
(((obi))) Can you talk to your doctor about your feelings? I think some of that is completely normal and part of the "baby blues" but I know it can also be a symptom of PPD/PPA. Might be worth a call to the doctor. Lots of love, mama.

I am going to steal some of his time tomorrow at DDs well check. He prescribed me Celexa after having C and it was life changing. I waited WAY too long then and don't intend to let myself get so bad this time. I was just really hoping history wouldn't repeat itself.
obi adding another baby to the mix is definitely a huge change. Especially when you don't have much help aside from your H. I hope you're able to get a break and some rest soon.

I'm sorry obi. I had PPA with DS and I definitely understand wanting to avoid going down that road again. (((Hugs)))

. if it was me I would wait. My water broke 20 minutes before Clara was born though and I am just basing my waiting on what hear is supposed to happen which is if your water breaks it will continue to leak and not stop. All that being said, I am not an expert so I would also like to say do what makes you the most comfortable.
. I would wait. This is solely based on what happened to me though. I was laying down and fluid just shot out of me. I hadn't moved in the slightest so it was... startling. I got up and rushed to the washroom and it kept coming. Nothing happened after that but L&D suggested I come get checked out anyway. It was nothing. So, I got my vagina invaded for nothing exciting. My c-section was scheduled for the next day so I was nervous for that reason. If I were just waiting to labour on my own then I wouldn't have even called unless I kept leaking or was having fairly regular contractions. But! If you are feeling anxious then head in or call. They have no problem with people wanting to be safe and not sorry. It's what they're there for

The night sweats and all the emotions are invading. I was hoping to avoid the sweats since I'm sleeping on the couch and not next to my human furnace husband but no such luck.
As for the emotions, I'm reaching the point where Dh isn't doing anything wrong but it feels like he is. He's always been the type that won't help until I ask him to do something specific. He comes from a very independent mother and SIL is the same. I am not that way but suck at asking for help. It took everything I had to ask him to make me an English muffin and cut up an apple for me. I think he thinks that things are going so well with nursing this time that I don't need help since I'm not pumping and bottle feeding. I don't even know what I need help with.
Happy birthday caer! That's rough obi. I hope your doctor is able to help if you need it.
No baby for me yet but in the evenings the Bh are starting to get more intense every day so I'm pretty sure my body is slowly gearing up like it did with DS. Probably still have a couple weeks but maybe it will be before the due date.

Whyyyy does SFIL think he needs to ask me if Dh is busy before he calls him? He's been doing this for the last year and Dh has never once told him to do that. 1. Dh left me home with a newborn to go help SFIL with something so he's not even here for me to know if he's busy. 2. I'm home with a newborn. Don't you think I have shit going on?
He also spelled DD's name wrong twice in the texts asking how she was doing.
Eta: why are my IL's losing their minds? It's not even my real IL's, it's the step and extras!
obi I'm sorry you have to go through those emotions, I hope your doc can get you some help soon.
DH is leaving today and I really don't want him to go. Trying not to cry about it because we're doing newborn pictures here soon.
He has to go though, that's the thing about being farmers. You can go anywhere you want until a crop has to be planted or harvested, then you're stuck in the field irregardless of what's happening in life. He's having feels about missing the second week of B's life too. We'll have to facetime in the morning and night so B can still hear his dad's voice.
