Symptom spotting this morning. Tell me what you think: Bad stomach cramp followed by a non-constipated (for the first time in forever) trip to the bathroom. Then about 10 minutes later a contraction that started in front and wrapped around to my back. I've had a few of those over the last 30 minutes and am suddenly zapped of all energy. The poop first totally means I'm in labor, right?
We had another calf born yesterday afternoon. It was an embryo calf and due the same day as me. I told H on Monday that that cow would domino before me.
TTC since Sept 2012 M/C on 5/01/13 at 8 wks AF finally appeared 11 wks later per Provera Diagnosed with PCOS on 7/29/13 Three Failed Medicated Cycles, NTNP Indefinitely BFP #2 9/14/14, EDD 5/23/15...MMC discovered @ 9w2d; D&C 10/23/14 ***BFP #3 7/4/15, LO born 3/17/16***
You may or may not remember that there was uncertainty with DS (we thought he was a girl for several weeks)and with this baby they said they were "pretty sure" it's a girl. We have since had 2 other sonograms to confirm but I'm still gun shy! If something crazy happens, we have no name and we gave away all our boy clothes! The next 7 days cannot go fast enough!
I do! Crazy...
I've also been giving away and selling all my boy stuff! We would be so screwed :/
Reason #8 to be Team green...
Random fact: My H was supposed to be a girl. He has a girl name. Coincidence?

I hate the mindfuck that is the end of pregnancy!
I've been having similar issues the past couple days. I'm not sure the answer haha. I see my ob today so am going to let him know. For me I've had more bowel movements than usual plus bad cramping off and on through the day. Not like I gotta poop cramps though, like period cramps and lower back pain at the same time. I think it is at the very least things are slowly starting. Try to time them and see or see if they stop after some water.
#1: So I'm on maternity leave starting this week. So I get to rest and take it easy. Doctor's orders, right?
This means instead of getting up at 8 and getting ready for work, I get up at 6, get all the kids ready, and drive them to school. Round trip? About an hour.
Fuck these early days H has been having to work. They're running him ragged because they know they're gonna lose him to paternity leave soon.
#2: DD2 sleeps in a toddler bed. Woke up this morning to find her asleep on her knees, half in bed. It looked like she was praying. Sooooo funny. She gets to sleep for another hour though. I made H move her, lol.

I was at Walmart stocking up on some things, and someone working there asked me how I was. I said pretty good, and she asked when I was due. I said I was going in Monday... she asked me if it was twins. I said nope. She gave me a look like whoa, you are big. I couldn't run away faster.

I got a massage today, my first one ever with an actual prenatal massage table! Yay for laying face down! I love this therapist, she does great work on my shoulders and really worked my sinus pressure points. I already feel a little better. Oh, and she had essential oils misting in the room which I think opened up my sinuses as well. She massaged my belly a bit too (after asking if it was ok), and it felt great. I thought it would be weird, but I was very comfortable.

Yay for the massage table! Man, I forgot how much I missed laying on my stomach. Thats a good reminder to make another appointment. Oh! I asked for Peppermint Massage Butter as an add on and she said that oil is the only one that is actually known to induce labor (the cooling properties or something?) so she didn't think it was a good idea at 35 weeks, but maybe at 38 I'll give it another go!
I'm having some strange kind of feels regarding Friday's induction. Like - we tried aggressively for this kid. I know for a fact when my last period began and the window for ovulation. I got my BFP 9dpo (it was a mega squinter) and have known my due date since the second I got it.
Even with wiggle room of a few days - I am overdue. I am 41 weeks today and will be ready for induction on Friday.
So why now am I like... "What if the timing is wrong? What if he just needs to cook longer? Should I just let him hang out till he's ready? What if he's just not ready??" two days before the induction??

So the mouse is somewhere and the cat wants to go out again. Hell to the fuck no little man. Get the mouse you brought in and we'll talk. Counting down the minutes until MH gets home. Then wine. Lots and lots of wine.

Today was epic. Both kids napped at the same time and I napped, too! The house is a bit of a disaster, but I feel somewhat rested and think I may be able drink a whole beer without falling asleep this evening.

So, we made it through Wednesday, which is the date H wanted me to make it past before having baby since he had an important work thing. We'll try the cervical ripening sex tonight. It makes me laugh just thinking about the logistics at this point.

I had an appointment today for a root touch up, microderm, and a prenatal massage.
That didn't happen. And FFWC, even though I'm so glad C is here, I'm totally a little salty about it.
SheilaTheTank, my last cat did that. She dropped it in the bathroom and left it for me to deal with. Fuzzly little asshole.
This was a first. I was really proud of him until I realized it wad alive. After rigging something with cardboard boxes and trash bags MH was able to catch and release it.

GET OUT, baby Pugs!!!
I had very similar feelings about my induction. What if, what if...but all went fine and healthy baby. I feel so much better not pregnant, even if I haven't slept in days!
I'm worried I'm going to have someone try to come to the hospital or over to the house with a cough or cold thinking they aren't that sick. I know I'm over analyzing everything, it just didn't help that I heard a couple people with coughs at a family lunch this past Sunday.
My mom was so sick with a viral infection. She stayed away for a week. She cried and cried because she couldn't be there with me when baby boy arrived. She was kind enough to stay away even though she hated it. Let's hope fam and friends would be considerate.

awe your poor mom. I hope if I have any friends/family that are sick they will be as considerate as your mom. I guess I'm worried more about people thinking their illnesses are "minor" when they won't be "'minor" for a newborn.
Random fact: My H was supposed to be a girl. He has a girl name. Coincidence?
I just don't understand how they can mess it up with the technology we have in 2016.... years ago, sure.
Well, in 2014, we were team green not by choice. Couldn't tell on the u/s. Just couldn't. I got a "maybe girl" at 16 weeks, and "maybe boy" at 20. Girl.

Same with mine (2014). I was miserable, crippled by sciatica for weeks and weeks, could barely walk to the bathroom, BEGGED for an induction. Then a couple days before my appointment, she shifted position, and suddenly I could kinda move, and was fairly okay. At 39w, 3 days, I nearly cried off. But H talked me into going through with it, in case she shifted again, and I was back in agony.
It was fairly smooth, and had a healthy 8lb 13oz baby. 2 hours after delivery, I felt like a new person. It was amazing now much BETTER I felt.
I forsee riding the induction fence again with this one. We'll see. Ask me in 2 weeks how I feel...

DH pulled the "I'll be downstairs in 10 minutes" at 5:30 this morning when I got up with DD2. When I went up to get DD1 when she woke up at 7 he was still in bed snoring. He then got called into a work emergency at 7:30. Awesome...
