Weeks?   Does anyone actually care about fruit other than wanting to eat some?

QOTW: On a scale of 1-10, just how done are you with all this pregnancy stuff?

38 weeks tomorrow. Mmmmmmmm, fruit!

I have had three straight days of blood streaked discharge. I have had two straight days of cramping that dies off at the end of the day and never goes anywhere. Baby is so low it's insane. Every time I stand up it feels like he's going to fall out. Was still at 3.5cm/80% earlier this week. But otherwise, nothing is actively happening. I had an acupuncture appointment yesterday late afternoon and have another one on Monday. Next OB appointment is on Tuesday morning and he is willing to strip my membranes but I'm torn whether I want him to or not. On one hand I know it isn't going to do anything if baby isn't ready so, why not. On the other hand, if he's not ready I want him to come when he's ready. Perhaps we'll put the strip off until the next week on June 9? I don't know what to do. Being patient is hard.

QOTW: Part of me wants to scream 10, get this baby out NOW! But given what I just said above, I guess maybe I'm actually at more of an 8.

37. I DO want all the fruit. Dunno about baby, but my belly is the same size and shape as the watermelon we bought today.

All the poop. Like it's barely noon and I've gone 3 times. Ew. Minor swelling. Too hot all the time. Also, mood swings. I described my mood yesterday as being like a cornered feral cat. DH came home, I went to the bedroom alone and ugly-cried for about 10 minutes, and I'm fine. HOWEVER. DS decided last night that he is DONE with diapers. Night time included. He's cool with training pants when we leave the house, but he's DONE. He's only had 2 accidents in the week and a half since he started going diaperless during the day.

6 at the moment (last night's cry still has me calm), 7 in general, 8 yesterday.

I already posted in the other weekend ticker change thread, but they didn't have a QOTW, so I'll answer that here: I am about a 7. I am uncomfortable and the anticipation is killing me, but I definitely want to keep him in as long as possible so he'll be as healthy as possible. I also really don't want my ILs here (as I am sure you are all sick of me saying) so that is some major motivation to keep him in as long as possible. I can stick it out!

I didn't see the other one because it was posted in the future and my time zone just now caught up.

@jimbobcooter Sorry, this time travelling thing is messing things up! The feed is busy lately with lots of birth Tories too so my early post is probably getting buried.
QOTW: I'm at about 5 because I've started leave from work now. A few times yesterday when she was so low I thought she was wriggling out my body like a scene from Alien, it crept to an 8 but it's fine for the most part at this stage.

Dirty deleting a rant about DH because DH is great, even if I do need to vent every now and then.
