So, I'm pretty much in HOLY CRAP IT'S JUNE IM HAVING A BABY THIS MONTH EEEE! club right now I'm 40 weeks on Monday, see how my mood is doing after that if I'm still pregnant lol!
But seriously, hugs to everyone going through rough patches. budders I remember when pregnant with DS going through a phase of 'there will be more than H and I living in this house..' which was really overwhelming, and this time I've had the 'but we just got a good routine going with DS!' Thoughts happen once in awhile. It's an incredibly emotional time, your feelings are most definitely valid!
budders, I'm having a little internal panic attack knowing that baby could show up at any moment and that I have no idea what to do as FTM. Also, for some reason I was really fixated on baby clothes and how to dress the LO. I guess, it's my defense mechanism kickin' in and going into denial.
I guess this is AW post. DH is going away at the end of this week for 6 days for work; and, my EDD is 6/23. I really, really hope I don't go into labor then. I know, I know...DH should be around now and until the EDD but he worked so hard on this work project that we both want him to see it through. Besides, my mom (who is surprisingly supportive of DH) says shiet happens that sometimes the fathers aren't around for the labor anyways so just brace myself for that.
Can I rant? Like my own personal Monday b*tchfest please? I'm so crabby. I'm so, so ready to be done... my body is so sore and fatigued, and I've been sick the last few days to make things worse, and pulled a bad muscle in my neck, and I'm just got my major crabby pants on today. I have no energy left for anything anymore. I wish I wasn't a late June baby, I just want to be done! Waaaaah!!!!! Okay, end rant. Sigh... but, yay, it's June right?!
Giiirrrrrl, I am right there with you. I've still got 3+ weeks left and everyone else is popping out babies (I'm happy for y'all, seriously, but... yeah. Definitely some jealousy over here). I have a pulled muscle in my left side that hurts literally all the time. And if I make it through the next few weeks without murdering someone I work with, it's going to be a damn miracle.
Trust me, Team Crabby Pants has at least 2 members right now.
Can we make that three??! I know I should want him to stay til my EDD which is 3 weeks away, but I just want to be not pregnant anymore. Moving is difficult, more heartburn and nausea than first tri, and I've resorted to wearing DH's sneakers to work.
Ugh...I woke up this morning not knowing if I needed to poop or puke. (For the record, both happened.) I called in sick and still took DS to daycare so I can rest. Finally feel like eating something, so I'm eating 1/2 of a muffin to see if it stays down. I have the world's worst hemmorrhoid also, so I'm trying to lie on my side to take some of the pressure off.
Add me to the cranky party. If I go 4 more weeks, I am going to lose my mind!
JUNE!!!! Most of our babies will be born in the next 30 days!!!
Last night there were huge thunderstorms and I feel like I didn't sleep at all. And I've been crampy on and off for a couple weeks.
My plan was to work through next Tuesday but now I just want to be done on Friday. I don't have the energy or brain for this but I'll only be 37 weeks this week. So it makes me feel like I'm wimping out early? Does that even make sense? Technically I'm only taking off 5 days of work (stopping next Wednesday) because the school year ends on 6/16. I can't decide what I want to do. Aside from lay on the couch and take naps all day long.

I am for some reason convinced that I will start labor in the middle of the night, so every night when I got to sleep I think, this could be the night! And then I am disappointed in the morning... (39 weeks)

I actually don't even wear shoes at ALL anymore... I literally walk around in my socks as none of my shoes fit, and I refuse to buy new shoes to get me through these last few weeks. So, so unprofessional and NOT okay... fortunately I work at a place that is tolerant of it, but it is still not okay!

Totally bouncing between "YEAH it's JUNE - Baby will be here soon!" and "HOLY SHIT - It's JUNE, baby will be here soon!!" It's my last week at work (thank goodness) and I just have to get through it without losing it. Doing battle with a customer who I can tell is stuck between me and her manager (manager doesn't like the price, but I can't move on the price) so I feel for her, and at the same time want to head butt her manager. It should be a long long day. OH and I started it with a really bad nose bleed. Those seem to be back. I'd like them to go away.

I have pretty much wrapped up all the things that need to be done at work before I leave. There is still work to be done, but it can be taken care of by my leave replacement. I know I should reach out and see if there is any work I can help anyone else out with, but really I just want to go into labor and be done with this for a while!
I have a random... Driving (4 hours) to a wedding this weekend... Honestly not worried because we already checked out hospitals in the area just in case. My random question is:
Does this dress have too much white in it to wear to a wedding?
I'm so happy that it's June!!! I'm looking forward to telling people that I'm due this WEEK. Come on out baby, we are ready for you!!!
Lately I've been really worrying about how the transition will be for DD. I know deep down that she'll be just fine, but I overthink these things a lot. I know that people will be coming to visit and wanting to cuddle the new baby when really it would be so much more useful to me if they'd take my toddler to the park or play with her. Especially if I don't get my VBAC... how do you cuddle your older child when you aren't even allowed to lift her up?
I feel the same exact way about my daughter and a potential RCS. I guess I'm used to sort of blocking my belly from DD anyway, so it will still be a natural reaction to block my incision from her, but it still makes me nervous. She is 3 and I barely ever pick her up anymore *tear*, but I'm still nervous about dealing with a surgery recovery around a small child that just doesn't get it.
Yeah, DD is only 21 months and in a very clingy "only mommy will do" phase. On the plus side, it really increases my determination to have a VBAC.

My friend just had her third--a first C section for her with a 3 year-old and a 21 month old. She said hands-down the hardest thing is not being able to lift anyone or do anything else because of the C. I was like, 'Umm what would you do if your husband didn't work from home? Never get Cole into the high chair?" It's stuff like that I just don't think about....
I just can't even with my kids today. They have been fighting with each other since they woke up and DS has been arguing with me about everything under the sun. It doesn't even matter what I say anymore, he will just say the opposite to piss me off. Ugh! Can I just go back to bed please??? I am about to go ugly cry in the bathroom because they are so aggravating.
You and I are living the SAME life!!! This has been my DS for the last 2 weeks with the arguing, and he has been fighting with my DD like no other!! Except I have actually ugly cried in front of them.. Including pulling my hair like I was going to rip it out...

Super cute! I agree that it's fine, I think anything with a print is ok, it's just an actual WHITE DRESS that would give me pause. Hope you have a blast!

Add me to the hemorrhoid club. I'm miserable! I hate having a creamy ass! Damn preparation H!!
Hey ladies! Haven't logged in much since I started maternity leave and can't believe how many birth announcements we have already, crazy!
I'm still feeling pretty good. Belly is giant and my stamina isn't what it used to be, but we're still going on walks almost every day and I'm still getting a shit ton of sleep (and no constant need to pee or get up at all in the middle of the night for it, I don't understand how this is possible?!)
Random topic, does anyone have a local pizza place that makes a pregnancy pizza? There's a place about 30 mins away that is well known for their pregnancy pizza and has tons of testimonials of women who went into labor after eating it and I've already told H that we're going once I hit 39 weeks. How silly am I?

Um, not silly at all! Bring on alllll the "natural" labor techniques;) Jealous of your maternity leave starting, I'm hanging strong for 2 more weeks at most...soak up all your "relaxing" time! (as if being at the end of pregnancy is relaxing at all, ha!)

There's one near my house (about 30 minutes away too) but looking at it online, all I could think was "That would be killer heartburn." I figure I can try it if I'm over due but I'm not trying it before. I have heartburn just thinking about !!

I made labor cookies last time; they didn't do anything but they were delicious. Off to google pregnancy pizza...
I feel everyone on the preemptive anxiety. I'm starting to feel ready to be done, but anxious about actually having the baby. I remember leaving the hospital with my son and my husband and I being like, wait, so where's the adult that's going to come with us? You're just going to let us go home by ourselves? (We were 32.)

Haha yeah this place has like every topping possible on their pregnancy pizza. But pizza hasn't been a culprit for heartburn for me. It's random things like crackers and tortilla chips that set it off for me, so weird!
I will totally make those lemon induction cupcakes, Pinterest here I come...
Also, my friend who is a labor and delivery nurse told me last week that one of the midwives she works with has a smoothie recipe she gives to her to patients that is supposed to help induce labor. Apparently it has castor oil in it. I would be super hesitant to consume it because I assumed castor oil is dangerous, but my friend is such an awesome nurse and knowledgeable about all things pregnancy and labor related so it actually peaked my curiosity. I still haven't looked it up at all so maybe I'm not that curious...
