I got a pedi a few weeks ago and I asked for (and received) a foot callus grater thingy for Christmas. It has a handle on it so I can at least keep the calluses under control which is hard to do even when I'm not pregnant, I have bad feet. I need one of these. My heels are so gross 😭 I'm 99% sure this is the one I have... Gentle pressure is all it needs and can be used on wet or dry feet. The handle is long enough that I can use it in the shower without too much difficulty, even 36 weeks pregnant. I don't walk a lot, wear flats and tennis shoes and still look like I need a pedicure about a week after getting one due to calluses... So far this is better than a pedicure for the calluses because I can control how much dead skin to take off (sometimes the pedi people are too scared to take off enough). Amazon Link

I’ve never gone into labor on my own and I’m not a huge fan of this waiting game. I’ve had four contractions 6 minutes apart and I’ve definitely got some cramping. Dun dun dun.......
Highly doubt it turns into anything but it’s stressing me out.

Two hours later and I’m still contracting every 5-7 minutes. I’m debating getting up and straightening my hair and putting on some make-up. Lol. Surely that would help my body decide what it’s going to do.
Seriously though. Fourth kid and an hour drive to the hospital. If I’m actually in labor this could go quick. But I don’t want to wake DH for a false alarm. I much much much prefer a scheduled induction.

I am up feeding little man. He ate good and I am now waiting for him to fall back to sleep. Since I came home I have been sleeping on the couch with him in the rock n play beside me. Tonight I finally went up to my bed and brought him and the rock and play with me. He slept for nearly 4 hours. I think it’s slightly warmer in here which helped him sleep.

I’d go ajetter but I know the hour drive to the hospital would be annoying if it was a false alarm. My doc told me to come in when they were 5-7 min apart (bc DD was a super fast labor & I didn’t have any contractions before labor started so once I did it was go time).

marygracerich dragonflyinn after another 30 min I ended up gathering all my last minute things, then trying to lay down. Actually fell asleep and the contractions went away. Still crampy but nothing yet.
