I confess that I totally plan on eating extra shitty from now until baby arrives because it's my last opportunity to splurge on the extra calories without feeling too guilty about it. Bring it all on. As much as I want this kid out, I'm not ready to start sucking in the gut again.
I'm with you. I bought captain crunch, ho hos and no bake cookies this morning when I went out to get milk. Whoops.

I have my sister drop subtle hints to my husband about my push prize and even my damn birthday present. If she didn't, I doubt he'd remember to get anything.
I'm worse than that. I would like a specific necklace with baby's initial on it so I just sent a link to the website to DH and said "for after the baby is born." Truth be told, if he forgets and doesn't get it...I'll buy it for myself anyway!

FFFC: I accidentally ordered a Venti white chocolate mocha from Starbucks (I swear I said grande)..... I may or may not still drink the whole thing.... I just don't want to be wasteful...
FFFC: I'm a little worried about resuming my drinking habits after this baby comes. When I was pregnant with DS, I didn't really miss it all that much. But this time I definitely do. I'm just not feeling as confident in my ability to keep it under control and it makes me nervous.
I haven't taken care of the hair situation on any part of my body besides armpits in...a few weeks. I meant to before my exam today, but it looks like she'll just be diving in to full bush and hairy legs. Sorry, doc.
I had to make an attempt to shave yesterday before my massage, but I know I must still have random long hairs on the backs of my legs. I have been trying to do some cleanup in the business region as we get close, but what a frickin JOB! Also the hair in my ass crack is growing like weeds? Why? I can't even deal with that. Sorry, medical practitioners.

I am not really into the push present thing but my DH is using it as an excuse to get me a new necklace finally. My last one broke and I don't have any jewelry besides my wedding ring and my pandora bracelet. Which I love but never wear because I hate bracelets. It was a wedding present from FIL and I only wear around him. Lol. But I love necklaces and don't have any so that will be my "push present." Although he was going to get me a new one anyway.
I never sleep a full night on my left side. I switch back and forth with my right, and sometimes sleep on my back (though this is usually unintentional). Baby is always moving, so I assume he's fine, and it actually helps me to get more comfortable to sleep.
I never do only one side either! I always rotate left and right. At this point im way to large and uncomfortable to sleep on my back

I call it a push present but honestly I just wanted a new bead for my pandora bracelet. He got me a little teddy bear that has a blue ribbon on it for Christmas and I would love to have a special charm for his birth date.
A friend of my sisters got this gorgeous/elaborate emerald ring as her push prize, that to me is a little much. But i also only wear my wedding rings.
That does sound like a but much ! Lol but a charm for your pandora sounds lovely!! I only have two at the mine at the moment. I really wished I liked bracelets more because it is beautiful and I know their not cheap so it was a wonderful present. I hope you get the charm you want!!
Yesterday at Target DD wanted an applesauce packet, and I didn't have one, so I pulled one off the store shelf and let her eat it. I paid for it when we checked out, but I still felt bad.
Wait I do this everytime im at the grocery store w DS. Why feel bad if you paid for it?

Yep, I straight up told DH I wanted an extra spacer and LO's birthstone charm for my family birthstone necklace, and otherwise I was buying it myself. He told me he got them already a week or so ago.

Confession: the other day when the thread was started about sweeping/stripping membranes I almost shared but then I thought I better wait for a flame-free environment...
I was super naive with my first pregnancy and my mom was my rock cause she'd had 6 kids and, ya know, she's my mom! So at 40 weeks, she suggested that I do my own membrane sweep and I had no idea that that was a no-no. I didn't even bother to google it because I took her at her word. She said she did it with most of her babies and made it seem like no big deal at all, so I thought what the heck! I did exactly what she told me to, and I went into labor five hours later! Lol I have no idea if it was coincidence or not and I mean it was the night of my due date, so who knows. But later on I was browsing TD and saw a thread that was massively flaming women who tried doing a membrane sweep on themselves... Ooooopsssss! I shoulda checked it out I guess. I mean my mom can be totally ridiculous sometimes!

Whew. Glad to have that off my chest. Lol.
How did you even manage to reach it?! Lol I can't even imagine trying to reach that far! I am glad nothing bad happened but I have heard it could cause some problems. Maybe infection? I don't know.
Lol!! Where there's a will there's a way, I guess! Yeah, I imagine infection is probably a big risk! I'm also very grateful it turned out okay. I wouldn't recommend it and won't do it again, but if I make it to my due date again this time and still no baby, I may ask my midwife to do it. (She normally doesn't suggest labor-inducing stuff but she'd probably do it if I asked)

Lol that saying is very true! And ya I bet infection is a big one. I asked my doctor about it and he said it does absolutely nothing. Although that could just be his opinion. But it couldn't hurt!!

I shave the day of...sometimes. Because I hate the itchiness and I don't want to get another stretch mark on my vag.
Confession- I shave while I'm laboring. I've done it the past two times.

It's crazy just how different one doctor can be from the next... So many people I know have had their doctors offer to do a membrane sweep at straight up full term. But then others won't do it at all! Strange!
theBeeMama yes it is crazy there are so many different opinions. But hey if I wasn't being induced I would ask because at that point if it didn't work oh well and if it did hell ya!! It couldn't hurt to try!

I'm even less subtle - I emailed DH a link to the Pandora charm that I want as my push present. :/
My number 2 priority after making sure baby is healthy and happy is to get my body back. I feel disgusting. Hate/flame away.
No flaming from me. I plan on doing the same. I was looking at pictures from just before I got pregnant and couldn't believe how much weight I had gained. It's time to lose it all and get back to pre-DD weight.

My doctor said membrane sweeps statistically encourage labor but only if your body is ' ready anyway'. I have no idea what that means.

Ya probably meaning if your cervix is favorable and already dilating. And if baby is in position low enough to break your water. So that makes sense.
Speaking of all this hair, I had to have my face waxed the other day. I was getting some serious sideburns that were long and dark from my ears down my face and even on my neck. I finally had my sister wax it all off. Not really flammable, but I'm considering it a confession since it's embarrassing that it was needed.
I get a Brazilian Wax every month just because of this! I cant stand hair and since i have been going for almost a full year now my hair is so thin that there is hardly anything there. I also try and shave my legs at least twice a week. The humidity in Baltimore is so bad that I have to wear shorts and I cant stand when my legs rub and I can feel the hair on them...Its always quite an adventure when I do it, but I get it done...Usually end up cutting my leg at least once as well...oh well
My lady bits are all sorts of whacked out. I keep trying to shave, but I can't see anything. Last night, a few of my college roommates came over to cook dinner (which DH ended up doing the whole thing while they got drunk--poor DH) and my friend told me about how yes--the Brazilian waxes are great because they make your hair so thin. I need to start getting them. My bush situation is out of control.
Not going to lie, they are more uncomfortable now that i am 38 weeks pregnant but they aren't terrible. I have one scheduled for tomorrow, so that I am fresh and clean before delivery.
