I can't believe I'm the one starting this today! I hope that doesn't mean I'm the only one still pregnant.
I woke up this morning with awful tummy cramps... hovered over the toilet for about 5 minutes before I threw up. I feel a little better now... although a little reluctant to eat anything. I hope I don't vomit my entire way through labor.
Had a MW appointment yesterday. Declined the VE, because it's not going to tell me when labor is going to start, and it's just another pair of fingers poking around my vagina...
But everything looked good (DSs heartrate, my BP, pee test, weight, etc). By palpation, they are saying he weighs at least 8 pounds! Considering DH was just under 7 and I was only 6lbs4oz at birth... I think 8 pounds sounds big. Maybe it will mean that his new CDs will fit him
... although it might also mean that some of the really cute newborn outfits that I got at my baby shower won't 
Oh well, as long as he decides to join us soon.
I talked with DH about how frustrated I was over the "can't you stim your own nipples" comment. I tried to explain how emotionally difficult this last part of pregnancy has been and all the things that I'm thinking and feeling. It was a good conversation.... and I think he was being so preoccupied by all the stuff that he's dealing with (hosting his parents, taking care of the stuff I don't feel like doing, being the only one of us working, all the questions from his coworkers, etc) that he didn't stop to realize what I was dealing with. Anyway, he did suggest that he and I have an evening in all by ourselves... but I don't know when that's going to happen. We'll see.
I think having my ILs stay with us right now was a mistake. I mean, I'm glad they're in town and that they are helping out with all the housework and stuff... but I kind of wish they were staying at hotel. I just didn't realize how difficult these last few days of pregnancy were going to be.
