Today's mood...

[MissAnnThrope]

Today I feel happy. I don't feel like I'm going to rip someone's head off for looking at me.

I feel pretty good too. I'm not exhausted beyond reason.

I just cleaned my kitchen and mopped the floor for the first time in months (dh has been doing it... and not a very good job either)

Ds is napping, Finally! Little bugger didn't want to go down today.

I hope this good mood last. I'm so tired of feeling bitchy and hateful. I enjoy feeling human again.

Well my floor might be dry now, so I better go clean out the sink. I want a H2O steam mop.... Dry floors right away.

YAY! Glad to hear it. it is been a rough couple of days huh? So hard to just wait and wait! I thought I was having the baby this weekend and everyone was calling to check. I decided to hibernate. Today I am pretty zen. Hoping the other early april mama's are also feeling good. So hard to keep the balance.

If anyone wants a cleaning project, I strongly recommend: THE FRIDGE! I felt better when I did this! :0)

I wish that is how I felt. I had contractions all afternoon yesterday that were obviously not real labor. So I tried the usual tricks to get them to stop and they slowed down a little, so I went to bed. I woke up after an hour with really strong ones and was up for a good 3 hrs trying to take a bath, etc. Finally I went back to sleep after they slowed down again. Still having mild ctx occasionally but I'm almost 100% sure this is just prodromal labor. I am really pissy : and really, really tired : I did a ton of nesting yesterday, felt really good and felt really ready. All I want right now is a nap and some chocolate! I just can't do this for 3-4 weeks, I want to be done now.

Could have wrote that post this past weekend, so I'll just let you say it for us both.

I'm trying to be decent, at least, but overall I feel like sh*t.

I'm not in a bad mood so much as I'm becoming more and more impatient to have this baby. Kinda sad really. I never had this issue the last time. 39 weeks on Wednesday with a midwife appt (not looking forward to) tomorrow.

Dh said I'll be crampy tonight and going into labor tomorrow. He said his reputation at work depends on it.

I refuse to have an April Fool's Day baby, so even if things actually started moving along for real... I'm not doing it! Until after tomorrow anyway.:

Pretty good today. I'm tired though, Sara (my 5yr old) decided last night she wanted to sleep in our bed which is fine but when she sleeps she's like an octopus! Of course my DH can sleep though all of it but I spent the evening trying to get comfortable with her flailing all over the place. We have the crib sidecarred to our bed already for the baby and I literally spent most of the evening sleeping half in the crib and half out, and let me tell you how comfortable that was! And of course as soon as daddy left for work this morning at 5am she decided she wanted to be back in her bed.
Hungry today too, but not in the mood to eat anything really. Other than that I'm ok

Trust me after the past few weeks I thought I was really going to kill someone. The BH that go on and on and on and on.... and nothing comes of them... Well I've been having them all day today still. I'm so ready to be done. But I'll take this mood change and be happy with it. Enjoy it while it's here. Dh gets off work in over an hour... who knows what will happen then. He has been getting my my nerves more and more everyday.

This morning I woke up with dirt all over my kitchen and hall way floors, the fridge standing open and something else... I can't quite remember. So I was pretty pissed at him this morning, but I'm doing better now. I know I shouldn't say anything to him about his infractions from this morning, but I can't not say anything. So I'm sure he will get pissed at me for letting him know what he did. Cause he NEVER does anything wrong :

Ok.. Ok... Enjoy the good mood... ignore the annoying husband.... Breathe...

I'm okay today... as long as no one asks me to do anything for them! But if I have to do stuff for other people I'm not going to be happy about it.

This weekend I was so busy. I cleaned up the front yard - cutting back all the plantings, raking, watering and pruning the front tree, plus sweeping off the front porch. It was looking really dingy and it needed to be done and dh is allergic to grass so I figured I'd be better off letting him watch dd and I did the yard work. I was doing yard work two weeks before dd was born, too. Something about the grass not all being the same length. It's like nesting for the outdoors!

Ugh, my fridge needs to be cleaned out, too, but I have all this food I need to prep and freeze first so I won't get to it today. I'm barely getting through my regular routine before I run out of energy. It's hard doing the extra stuff but it's driving me kind of crazy to see it not *done* so I keep pushing myself. Leaving me grumpy. Oh well.

Look on the bright side, my five year old sleeps with me EVERY NIGHT! If I try to escape to the couch, she follows, so I've just been dealing with it. Mostly, it sucks!

I'm pissed at my dh right now because when he calls me and I feel like I'm *supposed* to answer (mostly, I think, due to his job and for fear if I don't, that it could have been an emergency.) Anyway, I rarely call him at work, but when I do lately and then he doesn't answer, I'm pissed because I'm worried that if/when I'm actually in labor, I'd have to actually call dispatch to get to him and then the whole damn state patrol will know I'm in labor! He is in an area where cell service is iffy, but I don't care! So... Yeah, I'm being ridiculous, but I'm still pissy.:

Oh I don't know what I'd do if she had to sleep with me every night. My 4 yr old I can handle because once he falls asleep he doesn't move and he's snuggly. Sara is like a ninja, like she has to beat me to death while she sleeps!

She's awful! It is exactly like sleeping with an octopus. Oh, and then I've got dh curled up in a fetal position, too!

Speaking of dh, he just called. Oops.

[swiesz]

I sleep with my 2 DS's every night almost 5 and 3 luckily they both sleep pretty soundly although my younger one has to touch my "nummies" to fall asleep and possibly 1 or 2 times in the night iff he wakes up which is driving me crazy
went food shopping with ds #2 today which was not fun as he would not sit in the cart at all luckily he has been napping ffor like 4 hours which gave me a much needed nap myself
but my house is a mess and i have to try to get 1000 things ready for the birthday party we are having for the boys this sat
luckily it is a party for really our friends that have kids so no real activities planned just need to clean whole house, figure out food and cakes
oh and i have to work fri and sat morning
probably should go get something done now

[~NewMa~]

Ick
Today I feel crumby.
Just all around crabby, moodwise.
I was feeling totally annoyed and bothered last night and this morning doesn't feel any better, even though there's nobody home to bother me, I'm all alone and still feel b*tchy!
When is this just gonna be over!?!?!?!?!

[MissAnnThrope]

I normally perk right up after the baby is born.

I'm still in a pretty good mood today. I'd be happier if I would go into labor already! But o well, maybe tomorrow. I'm going to be saying this everyday until I go into labor I just know it.

I guess I'm kinda glad I made it through the day and haven't had to call Dh at work and tell them that I need him home because I'm in labor or that my water broke with out having to explain that I'm not trying to fool anyone. I'm sure there is enough April Fools jokes going around the shop today.

I'm a better mood today and feeling pretty similar to you it sounds! I actually would really prefer *not* to go into labor today as I really doubt that DH would believe me! I promised him I would joke around about it but I'm sure it would cross his mind if I called him I'm actually thinking that this baby wants me to finish knitting some projects before he/she will show up. I could whip out a pair of nb longies like I need to in a couple days but I am procrastinating because I am bored with my current longies for ds (geez toddler stuff is much bigger!) So maybe if I get my butt in gear with the knitting this little one will show up.

[ChristyH]

Ack! I'm in a horrible mood today! Let DH have his way with me last night and still no baby, but I've been crampy all day and just feeling really *blah* and I didn't even get to have a decent nap because of it. Lots of clear mucus too but no globs which I was hoping for! DS was home from preschool today with diarreha and I don't even know how many baths I've given the poor boy, of course he's bouncing off the walls like nothing is wrong but my poor back can't take much more leaning over the tub. So don't want to cook tonight so as soon as DH gets home he's in charge of everything so I can just go hide my head in a pillow.

blah, blah, blah!
