: Actually, knowing my dh, it probably is!! I better not go into labor then or he might just have to miss the birth! (Wait I have been wanting a solo birth... hmmmm maybe that is the trick!)

this was my day yesterday....

dh stays home from work to "help" me. sleeps late, doens't lift a finger to help me get ds ready to leave the house. finally stands in the kitchen with his coat and hat on saying "i'm ready lets go!" argh. we drive to the mall. return stupid xmas gift from his lame uncle. ds decides he's hungry. we walk all the way to the food court. dh sits with ds while i get the food for everyone. then dh takes ds to the bathroom, comes out all pissed....watch him so i can go too. eh? how does this man think i function when he isn't around? i get the fairies to watch ds of course. then we have to walk all over the mall to find a bookstore for dh. course they find a toy store and i have to go back 3 times to get them because i found shoe store that has hiking boots for ds. finally we leave (late for the MW) and i have to keep saying to dh "lets go, we' re late" ds has huge temper tanturm in the mall.

we get to the mw, i have my appt. ds is being a little creep because he is still sick and he's tired from running all over the mall. now i'm really tired too. dh is being passive. finally i have to say "just pick him up an carry him to the car."

so then we have to stop at walmart. can dh say, "go home, i'll go back out?" nope. we all have to go. it's horrible. ds is a nutcase, i'm exhausted... we get into a huge fight on the way home about what a bitch i am.... we get back, i cry my eyes out for half an hour. and then dh asks me "what's for dinner?'

uh, your liver?

men have no clue what being pregnant is like.

This is just the thread I needed...

I can totally relate to everyone here. Honestly, I thought I was the only one having a totally emotional breakdown.

What is up with the peeing? Seriously! For two hours, the time it takes me to fall asleep on a good night, I pee at least 5-6 times. As soon as I lay down I get the urge. IT DOES NOT STOP! Once I get to sleep, I sleep about 45 minutes and then am up to pee again. Repeat once an hour, every hour. Until finally I can't sleep anymore at 5am and get up.

I have a cold right now and that is exacerbating everything. I'm even staying home from work to try and rest more, but I have to go back eventually. I'm hoping once the cold clears up I'll sleep more.

The baby was not engaged as of my last check two weeks ago. Does the peeing get worse with engagement? He/she is definitely low. If this gets worse I might go insane.

I, of course, cried this morning as DH was leaving for work. I just feel so crappy and lonely. I just feel so out of control of my body. He is taking a class that ends on 2/5 and I just miss him. He has to do homework all the time. I was actually hoping to go late so we could spend some more time together before the babe gets here. Now with my symptoms, I'm rethinking that wish.

I NEED TO HAVE THIS BABY! At least I would feel productive while not sleeping.

Back to dreaming about an Ambien and a catheter...

I need to start using this to threaten dh into helping me more.

I haven't been too grouchy until last night. For the past few days dh has been constantly nagging me to take it easy and rest, because he is not ready for this baby to come. The most frustrating part is that when he gets home at night he sits on he couch and watchs tv, meanwhile I'm preparing dinner, often times entertaining dd, finishing up some laundry, washing dishes ect, etc. Finally last night I snapped and told him that I couldn't rest because if I did we wouldn't have food to eat, dishes to eat on, clean clothes to wear, a house that isn't totally trashed etc.

Honeybeedreams, I had to laugh at your trip to the mall because it is so similar to our trips. I'm getting dd ready while dh is standing in the kitchen asking if we're ready yet. I usually end up getting the food, running back and forth to get extra napkins if we need them, and helping dd eat. Then I'm generally still eating while dh tries, half-heartedly, to entertain dd while I'm shoving my food down as fast as I can.

I'm a big fan of the movie What about Bob. I keep telling myself "baby step" to February.

Anyway, 's to everyone. We're almost there.

Last night I had an incredibly great dream where my baby was kicking my rib (as usual), only this time he was using it as a kickoff point to help him get out during labor.

So I shared this dream with DH, who said that he dreamed that he missed the Superbowl. There was no reason given in his dream for missing it. I feel guilty enough with him missing any number of parties because he feels like he should stay home with me/we shouldn't go anywhere.

But, like Lanie, I'd be happy with a solo birth and am eager for him to find a party to go to, and maybe take the kids with, too....

Anyway, I hope I don't get too superstitious about DH's dream. KWIM?
