Feeling tired. Poor sleep plus a lot of business with talking to the contractor, subcontractor, etc. The basement is coming along nicely, but I'm getting cranky and hormonal and am definitely ready to have people out of our house and get space/privacy back.
Tired. I woke up at 4am and couldn't get back to sleep. I don't know why this impending snow storm is freaking me out so much. It doesn't help that I just got a notification from CNN that the mayor is saying the situation has "life and death implications."
Dear baby g, While I totally understand that waking up in the middle of the night unhappy because you can't breathe is fine and I'll be there for you ever time, being up for almost 2 hours for absolutely no reason (and just laying there laughing and rolling around) isn't cool. Why do you hate me? Love, Your adoring, but exhausted Mommy

Hugs firstcomeslove2013, this TWW is much more emotional for me since we did all the extra things. I will be really sad if it doesn't work out. Of course I caved and tested early today (11DPO) and got a BFN.

11DPO is still early. It ain't over until the AF sings! Fingers crossed for you!
Hey friends! Still pregnant over here... . My current feels: * Thankful for my wife - we have had a nice day today. I decided I wanted to pretend like there was no blizzard coming and that labor was not potentially immanent. We went to Target, got fun drinks at Starbucks, walked around, bought the boy some fun art supplies for art projects while we are in the hospital and/or snowed in. It was fun. Everyone else is panicking, but I am feeling more at ease at the moment. Mostly because I am in denial that up to 2 ft of snow and a new baby are coming. Potentially at the same time.
* Physically I am feeling good. I haven't had a lot of contractions today, but lots of pressure. Plus I lost the rest of my mucous plug and had a small amount of "bloody show" earlier... so those signs seem to indicate that labor is on the way at some point (don't know when), but physically I am feeling relatively zen at that moment. Maybe the calm before the storm. Pun intended.
* I am still annoyed with my MIL. I am hoping when she gets here it is better. I have been very cheery and optimistic and cracking jokes about the storm and labor... and she has been very doom and gloom. She is almost acting like she is mad. I don't understand. What does she want us to do about this? Because we can do nothing other than be prepared and reactive. All she has to do is stay at our house and play with our son and our dog (both of whom she adores). Literally the worst thing that could happen to her in all of this is for the power to go out and she would have to potentially deal with that for a day or two, but we have this house SOOO fully stocked on all possible necessities (including batteries, flashlights, candles, non-perishable foods, bottled water, etc.), I mean really, we are ready for the apocalypse over here. I will reiterate that I am the one having the baby here, and I seem to be the one trying to cheer everyone else up and encourage them to keep it together. My only hope is that when she arrives in person (soon) that the dynamic is improved from the phone calls and text messages of the last several days. Otherwise, she can just go home, and we will take William to the hospital with us if labor strikes. He can be my doula. LOL
* I am also feeling a little bit let down by my sisters. Literally everyone in our lives has reached out to us today to see how we are doing, how I am feeling, see if we needed anything, etc. Cousins, friends, SIL, aunts, etc. It has been great. My sisters however have not said a darn thing. I was even on a family text thread with them earlier and my youngest sister was going on about an internship opportunity she hopes to get this summer. Not once did either sister mention my due date, ask how I was feeling, etc. It really bothers J a lot that my sisters can be pretty selfish, so I try not to mention it a lot to her b/c she gets fired up and it isn't good for their relationships. But I am a little hurt.
OK, that's enough feels for now.
Maybe I will go into labor tonight and then I will have a whole different set of feels going on!
kh826 I'm glad that you had a nice day and are feeling calm. I'm now officially stalking this board for labour news. Make sure to start your own thread! I havent been around a lot but if you don't have a labor buddy, I volunteer! You may still have my contact info from when you were mine.
****loss and living child discussed***** We're queer. I'm 34, have severe stage 4 endo, and both fallopian tubes are gone. My love ("Manada" 33) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tav.in and Ca.sey at 21 weeks gestation.

Still early! Don't give up hope!
firstcomeslove2013, I'm sorry things are hard right now, it's not easy being far from family.

kh826, I sure hope you guys don't get that storm. But I see the news reporting on the States starting to get slammed. I'm happy you are so calm. There is nothing you can do about it, so it's just best to go with the flow.
I'm also sorry about your sisters. It's hard when people are in their own bubble and nothing else really matters. Hold on to all the love from everyone else and stat zen. This is your families time and if they can't appreciate what's about to happen... Well screw them! lol

I have turned to my good old pal, stress eating... The last two days since Jo left have been bad, and I didn't even weigh in today for weight watchers. I'm going to do it tomorrow and get this butt back on tracked. Ugh!!
