If DD gets any lower, she WILL fall out.
Work is really pissing me off. I keep getting "well since you're still here..." *insert random project that we definitely don't have time to complete here* It's complete and utter fuckery.
We're out of school today for "inclement weather", which apparently means flurries and cold. Friday is my last day so I'm ok with not going in, especially since I have car rider duty in the mornings this month! We'll probably at least have a delay tomorrow, since temps and wind chill are supposed to suck.
Anyone else have a particularly itchy spot? The front of my neck has been driving me crazy for at least a week now. No rash or bumps or anything, just itching like the dickens. Almost there though, right?
Last week of pregnancy my stomach was so so itchy. No amounts of lotion helped either. It was driving me crazy. And after the csection my face was horribly itchy for like 12 hours.
My stomach is also suddenly incredibly itchy. Im so glad to almost be done. I hadnt irritated any of my old stretch marks until I started all of this scratching. Now they are all red like I just got them. (They're from my first pregnancy.)
Early 40wk appt today and had to take DS w/me: 2-3cm, 50%. They excitedly told me hey scheduled my induction for 2/27 and my face dropped. Told them that's my MIL's birthday & she hasn't shut up about it since announcing our pg. It's the one day in Feb I really didn't want to deliver on. She's already made comments that HER baby will be delivered on her birthday so they'll always be so close, have co-birthday parties. grrr.
I told them this and said I was just being a brat - in the grand scheme of life, I'll get over it as healthy baby is most important. I asked doc if I could induce in March. He didn't say no, but we'll chat at appt next Wed but thinks it's a moot point.
Still scheduled to work tomorrow and Mon-Tues so extra motivation to deliver before end of month or cross my legs on 2/27.
BTW: it's awesome doing a UA in front of your 4yo son and telling him we NEVER do this at home! He kept giggling that mommy peed in a cup so now I'm scared what he'll do in our kitchen.
I had a fight with my mom and now she's decided she's not going to help me as she said she would or come around anymore. I'm stressed because now I need to figure out a way to get DD's to pre-k so they don't lose their scholarship. I can't drive yet as I haven't weaned myself off the Percocet from my cesarean on 2/12 and can't lift LO in his car seat yet. That and my DD's are very attached to her so her deciding to keep away is going to upset them quite a bit. This just sucks.

Okay, it looks like lots of us have had a frustrating day. I'll add to the misery.
Last night I had 2-3 hours of decent contractions, and then they stopped. This has happened at least 5-6 different times. After they stopped, I just cried. I've never been this pregnant and know I'm being a baby, but rational thought isn't winning in this case.
This morning we get a call from our renters that the hot water is out. F'in great. Now we have to spend $1000 we weren't planning to spend this month. We are in the negative with profit for this house at this point but there isn't a ton of equity so selling it right now is a bad idea.
I made it to school today to try and adjust my lessons and realized there is no way I can get my kids time in the library to finish their research papers any time soon, so that destroys my leave plans. We started Monday but were cut short due to early release for weather. We have missed our other days this week because school was canceled. The librarians and my department chairs have been no help. I finally said the hell with it. Someone else can figure it out. I'm done as of Friday and I can't swear we will be in school by then.
Lastly, the OB called me around 1:30 and asked if we could come in early because they were worried about the weather and roads getting bad. Sure, sounds reasonable. I get there at 2:15 for my 3:00 appointment. They don't call me back until after 3. WTH!? I don't get out of the office until almost 4. So why did I come in early? To top it off, when I expressed concern about how the roads will refreeze tonight and not thaw out until the weekend because the highs for the next couple of days will be in the low 20s, we were told that we may just have to deliver at a closer hospital and good luck. I thought my husband was going to choke the doc. I love my OBs but I'm a little frustrated with how nonchalant they are about "oh well, the weather sucks, sorry."
Okay, I'm done ranting. I'm being a big baby and totally know it, but I had to get it off my chest before I explode because today truly sucked!
sccurrier I am so sorry. I can't even... I've been teary all day, and now I'm teary for you too. A horrible time for family you are depending on to turn their back on you. I'm thinking of you.
Last night DD didn't eat from 11 pm to 5 am. That would have been awesome if she hadn't been screaming out randomly with gas pains and waking me up. I would get up and get ready to feed but then she would fall asleep. So shit night followed by painful day since I'm now sick...I've got the body aches and chills. I refuse to let it be the flu.

I hate when the dr tells me to call if certain stuff happens and in my head I blow up the littlest things. A 5 second headache, being nauseous even tho I just ate way too much and that's the reason... Basically if he would just come out this would all go away. Let's go!!
Its been an emotional week. On Monday we had our growth scan and LO is huge. Dr calls Tuesday to discuss results and suggests a c-section. Cried all afternoon and night because that wasnt the plan.
Had 39 week appt today and LO is still high, 1cm and hardly any effacement. Dr think this is going to be a big 9 lb baby and his head is HUGE. So after much crying and thought we are going in at 5:30 Friday morning for a c-section.
Its been the hardest decision to make because I want to make the right decision. So he will be here 2 days before his due date at around 7:30 am...so life is about to change.

I'm sorry. Trust that your doctor is making the best decision for you and LO. Good luck Mama! I can't wait to see your birth announcement.

My mom and I haven't had the best relationship but things have been going great lately. So for things to go this bad makes so upset because I felt like I finally had that close relationship that I've always wanted. I don't know why I thought things would change.
xoxolicia sadly my mom is the type to hold a grudge and never see herself as in the wrong. She'll also be hateful to others on purpose just to try and make a statement.

I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this now of all times. I wish there was something I could do to help. I pray that there's healing in your relationship and a solution to the issues going on. *hugs*
Things are going well here overall. I'm waiting for my milk to come in, so we're topping Geoffrey up with every feeding and he's taking most of the bottle each time.
I'm having to remember to take things easy, which is fun. And the dressing came off the incision today, so I'm trying to be better about the lifting restriction.
And we're moving temporarily since there's even more roof damage. DH is going to arrange the furniture today. So, tomorrow we're going home after discharge to grab clothes and then go to the apartment at the museum director's property to stay while the director, curator, and trustees continue fighting with the insurance.
