Tuesday daily thread...

[redebeth]

Okay, really. Where is everyone?

[AKA_PI]

Just waking up here...

Long night. Couldn't sleep yet again. I don't know what's going on with me. I'll be forcing myself to bed as soon as Kendall falls asleep from now on.

Rainy, stormy day here in Georgia. I wanted to take him out for a walk but that's not going to happen. I guess I'll practice putting him into the baby sling/carrier thingy.

He was finally added to my insurance so that's all taken care of. Calling my graduate school to see if and when a copy of my degree will be mailed to me. I pumped and mixed in the breastmilk. He drank it with no probably.

Hi Monique - I know things are desperate when only one mama is here! and you are PP! Thanks for making me not feel so alone though.

I have family court in an hour.

41+3.

Yeehah.

Wish me luck.

I'm here.

I went back to bed for a little while. Didn't sleep well last night, DD had a rough night. Me and the parents are going mall walking today and DH and I dtd last night. Come out baby!!

40+3

[psychocandy]

Well, today is my due date!

I'm feeling pretty good. No heartburn for several days (knock on wood) and I've been sleeping really well (another knock, for good measure).

Still working, but I think today might be my last day. Or tomorrow.

[allborntogrow]

Well, the only good thing about being overdue at this point is that I will get to go with hubby to take our son to his kidnergarten open house today (and at this rate probably his first day of school tomorrow). I've figured I'd be delivering or only a few days PP . . . but no, still enormous.

And let me just be honest, I know this sounds so shallow but I didn't want to be giagantic and miserable the first time I met all these parents. What can you do, though?

And our rocking chair gets delivered today so that's exciting.

I think I'm going to make the eggplant parm tonight.

[bettymamma]

Feeling yucky today. Still having tons of cramps. I was excited about the news 1.5cm dilated, +1station and 75% effaced...which I rec'd yesterday at OB...but today I just feel lousy. I am stressed about a million different things I can't control...kind of freaking out. Anyone else feel like this...like PMS kinda?

I want to get up and do things..but then when I'm up all I want to do is lay down. I need a padded room I guess!!

[berrybear]

I understand your feeling of wanting to get up and do things...and then just wanting to lie down.

i tried a long walk yesterday (ok, 45minutes, i guess not that long). it was so strange b/c i felt like i had one long ctx the entire time I was walking and as soon as I got home it stopped.

been DTD, drinking RRL tea. I think the nipple stim definitely does something for me. It doesn't take long to trigger a BH or two but then it won't develop into anything.....

gonna go do laps around the grocery store now...

Is feeling cranky and irritable a sign of impending labor?

[3tammuz]

Feeling cranky and irritable - more than normal for my pregnant self - is a definate sign of impending labor/delivery for me. happened with all of mine.

Where am I - currently rocking baby while wearing him on my back. He is just having a cranky day. Poor little boy.

Hang in there preggo moms. the time to meet your new squishy one is coming soon!

[bettymamma]

If feeling cranky and irritable is a sign of impending labor...then it must be coming.

I'm going to try and make apple pies...kill some stress. So wish I could have a few glasses of wine right now!! ONE OF THOSE DAYS!!! Hopefully, pie and ice cream will do the trick!

[ComaWhite]

40+6 today.

I had close to 4 hours of full-on labor contractions last night that abruptly stopped at 10pm and never started back up again.... so I just cried and went to bed.

Now my body is very sore, but dh got a rain-day at work so at least I can get some rest.

[megsy]

39+4 today.

Nothing going.

[lizzylou]

41+3 and nothing happening. My husband and I are trying to enjoy our last few days alone, but it's hard to do that when we are also really looking forward to the birth.

[CathyG80]

40+3 for me. I was 3 cm and 60% at my appointment today, so that's progress! Scheduled an U/S and NST for Thursday, but my midwife said she doubted I'd go to them... I hope she didn't jinx me!

As she left the room, she said "now go home and have lots of sex!" DH and I just laughed... I don't think either of us are really up for that at this point!

I guess I can look at is as one more day to lavish attention on DS before his world changes!!

[redebeth]

okay, the postpartum mama's have more replies in their column than we do. I have to post to make it even!


I spent all morning in court and god i am wiped out. Nothing even got settled. We have to go back in 2 months after more mediation.

I am like helloooo... I'm 10 days overdue and you are making me sit here for 3 hours for nothing? I was really hoping my water would break all over their chair.

My lawyer is sort of worthless. It's not really his fault, the system is crazy here.

But now I can focus on getting this baby out!
Okay!
How do i do that!


Crap...

[megsy]

Bugger on the courts.

Here's hoping for some labor for you!

[bettie cracker]

well, the intellicast labor index finally has a moderate chance of labor for tomorrow in my area. hahaha yay! and the irregular contractions are back this evening after none all day. maybe this little guy is afraid of his loud sister and dog.

[foogoomomma]

Last night dh and I were able to have alone time : and it was just so nice! I haven't been sleeping much at night and everyone let me sleep in today until 11! Dh told me what time it was and I really thought he was joking! Even my kids are being nice to me today I think I must look really worn out for them to not even give me a little flack about chores lol. We had a great evening just hanging out me and my kiddos while dh was at work. I hope the next few days are really nice like that too. I don't want them to remember grumpy days before the baby gets here ya know?

I'm hoping this lil' guy makes his appearance either Thursday morning or Friday morning and by some miracle someone will just have a Ergo baby carrier they've been dying to give me! Lol I know dreams are nice While I'm dreaming.. I'd like a wetbag for home and travel, a deluxe playpen with changing table, and a double jogger that has the carseat attachment lol
