Our weekend has been eventful because I had a baby on Friday! I will work on his birth story when we get home but cliff notes version, I was at home on bed rest Thursday and got super dizzy, my BP was 169/99 so we went to L&D for monitoring and were admitted for an induction. Had baby boy about 24 hrs after arriving at the hospital at 37+1. Baby is healthy though!

Yesterday was a busy day. We ran a local 5k since it was free and had free breakfast tacos afterwards and then I headed into work. I haven't worked since February so I felt a little off my game, but overall it went okay. Except baby was punching my cervix a lot when I was helping one guy and my hip also kept having spasms so I was just a mess LOL. I'm glad that yesterday was my last day because that was so rough. I can't imagine working there until baby comes.
I'm hoping today is more relaxing. Though I think it's going to involve some baking and cleaning so probably not.
I ended up bringing DD to a park with some friends and their kids yesterday. We were there for about 2.5 hours and both of us were wiped out afterwards. H finished the job he was working on yesterday so he got up with DD this morning. I slept really well, but still feel tired for some reason. Glad he's home and plans on doing a lot around the house today and taking the lead with DD.

H was feeling unmotivated yesterday with the crummy weather but I'm really hoping he is more productive today because he's got a lot to get done...
This is exactly how I feel about DW this weekend. Yesterday she didn't get done nearly that much from the weekend to do list as I would have liked lol. 😩 So she better be on her game today without me having to remind her!!

We used tide powder + calgon for hard water...I might try persil because I've heard good things.
I'm also planning to simplify my stash since our current Daycare doesn't CD. I had a ton of AIO (blueberry) that taken more effort to clean. In think I'm going to stick with flats and pockets because they'll clean and dry a lot easier this time around for home use :-)
rosesquared he's been so great taking care of me and dealing with the emotional mess I've been and he has every right to be stressed and grumpy. But let's hope both our partners snap out of it today!

H is out of the house and working! On his way out he said he'd rather play video games all day and I reminded him that he would have plenty of time to play once the baby gets here. 😂
DD woke up last night with a fever. Probably an ear infection. But now I'm ok if baby waits a few days to get here. Won't be able to get to the dr till Monday. So far I've held her all morning. Don't think I'll be doing anything else today. Poor thing is not ready to share Mommy.
We cloth diapered max for a while, and will cloth this guy too once he fits a bit better in the pocket stash I have. We used persil and calgon, but have switched to tide since then.
I'm 37 weeks today and all kinds of anxious. My belly is LOW LOW LOW, and I was induced with max at 37 weeks. He had a bad delivery and I can't shake the feeling something will go wrong again this time. We also found a new house to rent and had to jump on it before it got taken by someone else, it's a steal for the size and location and accepts pets! But that means we have to be moved in by June 1st. Packing your entire house while 9 months pregnant, definitely don't recommend. Luckily my brother came home from college yesterday and is coming to stay with me for a week to help pack. (I think he's just trying to avoid talking grades and classes with our dad, through.)
I'm soooo grouchy. I know I'm not 40 weeks yet but I want this baby now. Plus I'm getting sick of the texts every day from everyone I know asking how I'm feeling. I know they're being kind but... ugh

I attest and empathize! I'm 39 + 1 and am soooo grouchy. My stomach feels stretched to the max, is covered in stretch marks and my skin is red and feels like it's burning half the time. My other two boys didn't feel like this even at 10 and 6 days overdue when I had them! Ugg, idk - I'm trying to soak it in because I know I'll miss being pregnant but I'm also ready to get the show on the road and am so anxious for my RCS on Friday!

I'm with you and I'm only 37 weeks today. Luckily no one has started harassing me yet though and truthfully I may just ignore the texts if they start coming in.
Honestly I just don't think I handle pregnancy very well. Poor DS1 is really getting so little from me lately. I know he's too young to understand and will never remember but I feel guilty anyways.

I feel the same about this pregnancy and DD. Poor little girl. I know she'll be fine but mom guilt is real.

According to my doc's due date im 39 weeks 1 day too. Twinsies. I think I might feel a bit better of I had a CS planned! There is no end in sight haha. I had DD on my due date so I guess it's still possible.
The kitchen is mostly cleaned and organized and the bathroom is about half done. It's a tiny bathroom but needs a lot of cleaning and I'm having to take a lot of breaks.
PirateCat I went on the same cleaning mission today hoping baby comes this week (or tonight so I don't have to go to work tomorrow please??) . Good luck finishing but be easy on yourself!
In the process of cleaning the kitchen we discovered the cord of the Keurig was sitting up against the toaster oven for an unknown period of time and was almost completely melted. Super grateful we caught it before any electrical fire could occur but RIP Keurig. Now we are debating between buying a new one or going for the Coffee Ninja instead... all I know is, I need something to make me lots of coffee for these newborn nights ahead!!
lupincat and setsuna17 I have the big time mom guilt too. Poor DD got so little time with happy, fun mommy the last month or so and now I can't pick her up or run & play because I'm healing from my RCS. I know she won't remember this but her sad little face when she says, "Mama, want up!" breaks my heart. I also don't handle pregnancy well and it's part of the reason I decided to have the tubal ligation with my RCS. I never want to be that tired, impatient, grumpy version of myself again; I want my kids to have the best mommy possible.
