Still pregnant. 17 days to go. (Day before Easter.) Not surprised to be here. I'll probably be induced, or an April mom too.
Doc made me quit working as of Monday. Boo. So now I get to stay home and "take it easy". BS. I'm working (physically) harder than I ever did at actual work. Although nap time with my toddler is nice!!!

We did heatpacks, aromatherapy and massage. She said today would be eventful but it all stopped. Just very crampy and tired. Working from home and went for a nice long walk. Hoping things pick back up but limbo is not fun.
Maaaan. Just went for a walk with MIL, got to the bottom of the driveway* and had a serious, folded-me-in-half contraction. Just after the next house*, another and right before the next house*, another so MIL made us turn back. This carried on for a while and I wandered around in the driveway while MIL took DD out on the tractor. Got to the point where I figured I should start paying attention so got the timer out and they've mother-fluffin stopped!
*rural area so further than it sounds
Hugs, "prodromal" labor can eat rocks. I get cramping every evening and it goes away when I go to bed. Such a let down .
H doesn't arrive until late Saturday night, MIL has a meeting about hiring a new pastor and FIL is going for drinks with friends so any time between 6-7pm tonight is going to be the most inconvenient time possible for me to go into labor since I'll be alone and DD won't yet be in bed. I can hope, right?
Any of you ladies got any really inconvenient times coming up you can hope for?
DH is a paramedic and is working in dispatch Saturday and Sunday from 8-8. If I were to go into labor he could not leave until someone else is found to come cover the rest of the shift. At this point it needs to be tomorrow or wait till Monday. But, who am I kidding, this baby isn't coming till Tuesday as scheduled.

My parents are planning to come up this Saturday to stare at my big pregnant-ness. I'm hoping not to go into labor, because I'm planning a home birth and don't want my mother around.at.all.

St. Patty's Day. My "surprise" at lunch work shower is then, so I'd hate to miss it. So I suppose anytime Tues-Thurs would be bad. Earlier would be fun tho. I could just take LO.
I fully expect to be there though. Hugely pregnant at 39w5d.

Add my MIL to the list of things that can eat rocks.
ETA: SIL too (DH's brother's wife, not MIL's daughter, but they could easily be related).... I think my DH's family must think we're not going to tell them when we have a baby. If they keep at it that might be true. I'm not at all grumpy today...

Oh dear, what did she do?
We have a terrible relationship to begin with. She's just bugging me, giving me advice on how to get the baby out. I get really irritated with people at the end of pregnancy. Apparently everyone thinks they need to remind me I'm still pregnant, good thing too...I almost forgot. Smh.

+11
But this is all the time for me.
.....my computer added an extra 1 above, and I decided it felt appropriate so I'm just going to leave it.

So I was in bed sick all weekend. Still have a cold, but I feel human again. Toddler is still sick. 11 year old is still sick. Joy.
I get out of bed Sunday feeling human, so I start refolding (thanks Toddler) laundry and putting it away. I reach down to the bottom drawer of the dresser, and I feel a rubberband snap in my back. I go down like a ton of bricks. Total. Agony. I did not go down quietly.
H, who was putting DD2 down for the night, bursts in, and has to half carry me to bed. Plus size + pregnant = feat.
Massage, heating pad, Tylenol for crying mess. Up and down all night, trying to change positions, work out whatever horrid thing I did to myself. 24 hours later, I feel much better... Until all of a sudden, my SPD decides to kick it up a notch.
So now I have this spot on my lower left side of my back that aches and feels strained and all owie, plus pain/pressure running down the inside of my thighs, and in my lady parts. Toddler wants to be picked up/held All. The. Time. Kids have to be run all around kingdom come. And where is H? Overtime. Hard to blame him for that.
I AM FALLING APART HERE GUYS!
Plus H says I'm absolutely not allowed to have this baby until at least midway through next week because of work stuff. Fuck that noise.
SO DONE. NEED. BABY. OUT!!! Also stuff drink, and probably muscle relaxers. Neither of which I can have either now OR later.

I spent all morning crying because I have a ridiculous headache, terrible heartburn and DH'S work scheduled him off already for leave because they can't risk his shifts not being covered. So now he is using all his PTO and there are no signs of her coming any time soon. I want him to atleast have a week with her here. Man do hormones suck.

So many hugs. These hormones are the worst. I hope that headache let's up soon. Fx she gets the message and decides to make her appearance soon.

I'm not due until Friday, so I feel like I don't have any right to complain, but good God. I am done. I want this baby here now. PgAL brain is flaring up after Doc mentioned he wants me to do formal kick counts, and talked about how the placenta deteriorates past 40 weeks. I do counts/pay attention to movement, and know about the placenta, and when you add that to the gargantuan I'm growing and plans changing at yesterday's appointment and not being dilated...I'm a mess. A hot, sick, over being pregnant mess. /endwhining.

I'm the last one due on the board. I didn't think I'd make it this long, but here I am. I think I'm in for the long haul with her! The end is just so much more miserable this time around.

Now 40+2. Have walked about 2.5-3 hours today, and had some kind of induction tea at teavana. Not even cramping at this point :/ hugs to everyone else having difficulties with this last part of pregnancy right now. I keep thinking today's going to be the day. Then it's not. I'm exhausted
