Wuddup ladies?

[peachesncream]

I am hiding in my lab to avoid the "oh, you're still here!" comments. I'M NOT EVEN DUE UNTIL FRIDAY, PEOPLE.

As of yesterday I am the most pregnant I've ever been.

[isolemnlyswear]

I've officially hit whiney pregnant lady stage. Hopefully baby boy gets the message and comes out sooner rather than later. I'm not sure if I can go 6 days over again....that would mean 17 more days of being miserable....

[jewel441]

Thoughts that go through my head at 2 AM: every time I really have to pee I start having contraction, so if I hold it will I go into labor? Do I want to go into labor now? Maybe I should just go pee...

[peachesncream]

cinnamonsmiles DH officially made it home?? Baby can come anytime now?

And who is it we have to be crossing our fingers for now, TheCoffeeNinja? Keep cooking until dad comes, baby!

I had a dream last night that at LC told me to practice breast feeding, so she told me to breastfeed my dog. I tried and oddly enough it wasn't working so I got really discouraged. So weird.

[halfahippy]

After I locked my keys in my car on Saturday, DH went and got the remote in my car replaced yesterday. It comes in today and was only $60. Apparently I should have locked my keys in my car months ago to get this handled.

Writing thank you notes with carpal tunnel is a pain. Literally.

So we almost had an electrical fire. MH was making some adjustments on his computer and plugged it back in the office. About 10 minutes later the smoke alarm goes off. We thought it was a false alarm because we had one yesterday. He goes to take it down and smoke is pouring out of the office. Trigger HOLY SHIT moment. Turns out his power supply blew and melted a bunch of wires. Everything is ok now thankfully and we are all safe but damn that was scary.

Ughhh.. I have to start mine. Not like I have anything else to do, but I can't bring myself to open the box!

[SheilaTheTank]

And I just realized that my cat, who I thought was outside during the entire event, was actually in the office under the guest bed. So yeah, I closed my cat into a smoke filled room. FBMOTY

The last 36 hours I feel like I'm getting head butted in the cervix (maybe he dropped?). It's his head right? Him flipping at 36 weeks seems unlikely? It feels like kicking!

[carissa325]

I mailed my hospital preadmit paperwork in mid January. Called them on Feb 1 when I hadn't heard anything about payment arrangements or coming in for preadmit bloodwork. They said they would call me to take care of that about 3 weeks before my scheduled cs. Today (two weeks out) I called them and they still hadn't called to check benefits with my insurance. I'm trying to pay you people. Get your act together!

I can't even be nice to the people that say that shit to me anymore. I've snapped at a few of them.

One of my favorites so far today (in a sing-song voice, accompanied with the look of pity. You know the one): "Oh! I thought you'd have that baby by now."

Could be punches. My baby's hands were right by her head so im pretty sure what I was feeling was punches.

So last night I was at an Oscar watch party and during one of the acceptance speeches, a guy mentioned his one-week old baby at home. I jokingly looked at my belly, rubbed it, and said "Aw, man. I wish I had a one week old baby!"

Most of the room laughed, but a good friend of mine snapped: "Oh my god. You're not even due until Thursday. You need to hold off on the complaining for at least five more days."

I was so taken aback - her delivery was straight up like I was being scolded.

Add to that that I've been super positive and happy and not complainy (IRL anyway) at all through this pregnancy and I was just making a joke...

I keep thinking back to it today and it just really rubbed me the wrong way. A: Educate yourself, lady and B: never say shit like that to a Pregnant Lady.

I'm not sure I could have held my tongue! How rude of her!

Thank you! I'm still so put-off by it. When I told Mr. Pugs later he was like "I can't believe you didn't punch her." lol

[jewel441]

My really good friend from HS just asked me if we had any clothes or like a crib yet or if it was still way too early for that? Lol. I was like I could literally have this baby any day.

[Deleted]

My ILs called this weekend and asked if they needed to rent a car while they're down here to meet the baby. Mr. Pugs was like... "Well, we aren't going to be too focused on shuttling you around, what with a newborn and all, so... Yeah."

Go Mr. Pugs!

Unlikely to flip, but not impossible. My baby just flipped from breech to head down at about 35 weeks. But I think that's a more natural flip.
Sometimes I get a few movements that make me think she's still breech though. I think at this point everything kind of feels similar.

[katespade]

I'm in a glass case of emotions right now just thinking about how much I cant wait to meet this baby.

[isolemnlyswear]

My kid has a name again!!!This is the one. We just aren't sure about middle names yet.

My mom doesn't like it but likes the nickname so I have a feeling she'll just call him that.

Elias (James?)
Elias (Robert?)

Nickname of course is Eli.

DS weighed 9 pounds and was 22.5 inches long. I'm 5'3". My doctor said today "I'm pretty positive this baby is bigger". No wonder I hurt!

[katespade]

My kid just punched me or something so hard I jumped. Is she carrying a tiny baby knife in there with her?

K just pooped so explosively that she startled herself awake.

Cant. Stop. Laughing.
