So today went totally against plan, but ended up being great. Our main motivation for coming up here was to visit a family friend's restaurant in Kenton. He's a pastor, so it's his ministry. There are no prices on the menu. If you can pay, you pay whatever. If you can pay for the next person that comes in, you do that. If you can't pay, you eat, say thank you and go on. (Anyone can volunteer if they wish). Really cool place and there was such diversity in the people there for lunch, from business professionals out to lunch to teenagers living in tents with their families. He said he was using one larger donation to purchase some thicker blankets for the family. It was amazing to see something like that really work. The restaurant was beautiful and the food was so delicious! Anyway, it wasn't directly on our route, so we had to kill some time in the morning then the plan was to eat lunch there and drive another 90 minutes up to the wildlife preserve for bird watching. We went to this park my mom found that was supposed to have tours through this old train in the morning. Wasn't open today...so we hopped back in the car to go to the Air and Space Museum in Wapakoneta. Cool little museum and we enjoyed it so much that we stayed longer than intended. After the 40 minute drive to lunch, we decided to enjoy a leisurely lunch and then just make our way back to Cinci in no rush. Lunch ended up being the big highlight and my grandma has really enjoyed the whole trip, which was the goal.
Love that restaurant idea dogmama22 I saw a news store about some bars that are doing a donation to charity for each beer you buy. I feel like it was in Portland or Colorado or somewhere way more progressive than here. I love the pay it forward idea.
I feel like baby is so low today. Like I am literally having trouble walking today. It's making me think I need to have a plan in place in case I go into labor while H is gone the next 2 weeks. But delivering between 32 and 34 weeks is crazy unlikely right?

Unlikely but definitely have a plan. Do any of us have your parents or in laws numbers ? Any close neighbors or any.of us close by that can help?

My MIL can be here in 6 hours if I had to call her. I know I can call the neighbor across the street to stay with Bub until she got here if it was the evening or overnight. And my aunt and uncle live in the Hyde park area, so they could help out too. The only potential problem I can think of is if I went into labor at work and my aunt had to pick up Bub from daycare, we'd have to arrange some car switching since my they don't have a car seat. Basically, I know I'd be ok as far as having Bub taken care of, but I might be calling one of you to drive me to the hospital. I can't imagine having a baby without H there.

You know I always have 2 car seats in my car, one set up for a 3yo.

Crazier things have happened but we'll hope for the best. I will tell you the baby felt like it was going to fall out. My cervix was crazy spongy this time - so the doc would go to do a check and say the baby was low and right there but if she just touched the head, it could float back up away from the cervix. So gravity is pushing but baby still might not be so close. I hung out at 3 cms for 3 weeks too.
I'm so exhausted. Presentation number 2 today and this one was out of town. Pumping and all that does not make travel easy. It feels like my brain is in a fog. The baby has been waking twice/ night the last week and then gets up early still. He's eating solids crazy too- he ate hash brown casserole this weekend and a fish patty at school. He's 6 months! He's also getting up on all 4 and rocking. And scooting backwards on his belly... it all happened out of nowhere. I'm not ready.

This is exactly how it feels. Like the baby is going to fall out. How am I supposed to walk around like this for 7.5 more weeks?

Yeah. It sucks. Wear your support and try to stay off your feet.
I actually had my doc do a check around 34 weeks because I was afraid it wasn't right and it was just second kid problems.
Cervical checks were super painful for me last time so I'm going to try to avoid them altogether this time. I think I was just on my feet too much today and that's why it's so bad right now. Tomorrow I should be able to get away with sitting and putting my feet up for a while.
