I’m so tired. DD was up every once 1-2 hours last night cry/yelling. She would go right back to sleep but it was still enough to wake me up. We medicated her with Motrin/zarbees/Vick’s before bed but apparently wasn’t working. I had to go in there a couple times tho to either console her or tuck her back in. Maybe she’s trying to sleep train me for a newborn? Haha.
It’s going to be a high of 4* today and very very windy. So we likely will be stuck indoors all day again today. Ugh.

Terrible night of sleep here too. Thankfully H promised DD a breakfast date so they should be out of the house soon— although it’s 8:30 & he is still in bed...idk if he realizes a 2.5yo can’t go forever without eating breakfast????
Today is 38w5d which is the day DD came! So we will see if brother wants to keep up or if he is lazier than she was. DH also “called it” that he would come on the 6th (before he realized that was also exactly how early DD was born) so we will see if anything happens today. I’ve got this achiness in my lower back around to the front but I’m not sure if that’s from sleeping poorly or if it’s actual baby stuff. I was really uncomfortable last night all night long so idk.

I'm here. Still pregnant. Feeling done. Just had another huge glob of mucous plug come out. I had more contractions last night and took a unisom so I could sleep. Good news is it is the best I've slept in weeks

Good morning! The whole family is on the couch. DD is reading curious George, h is watching videos on Reddit and I am here.
I have yoga today and then a 3rd bday party for our good friends.
I just feel like the baby is still so high. I keep getting this shooting pain at the top of my bump and it's very clearly a foot.
I am afraid this kid is very well settled in there 😐

DS was feverish and nearly inconsolable yesterday evening. Finally thought to check his gums and it feels like he’s getting every molar at once, poor guy. Restless night, needless to say.
My mom’s best friend is throwing me a sprinkle today. Should be a fun crowd, and Amazon tells me they got me a double stroller, which was really our only expensive “need” for this baby since we basically just did this!

Good news is it is the best I've slept in weeks I might have to take one tonight. I have not been able to sleep at all lately. I’ve been so afraid of taking it though and then going into labor after taking it and then being all drugged up and exhausted while trying to push a kid out haha

Do contractions ever start in the back? Ever since I woke up I’ve been having this dull ache that comes & goes every few minutes, for about two hours now. Starting in my mid-back & coming around my side. Every time it happens my stomach is tight but I don’t feel discomfort in my front yet. I was super crampy last night which is probably the only reason I’m thinking anything of this now. I don’t remember anything pre-water breaking with DD so idk how all of this stuff usually starts haha.

Terrified of going into labor with no sleep. I went into labor Sunday before bedtime and he was born Tuesday afternoon.

No I haven’t been but it’s definitely every few minutes. With DD my contractions were all over the place until my water broke & then they were consistent but immediately like 3 minutes apart haha. So I figured I’d wait until it started feeling like more in the front.

Also probably on edge bc DDs labor was like 8 hours (10ish if you count the few hours before when I felt uncomfortable but didn’t think anything of it lol) so I know it could just go really fast whenever it starts.

Good luck dragonflyinn and flippinchica, I hope these things means things are on the move for you!! We have a couple friends coming over for a visit today who have Christmas gifts for the kids still, so they’ll be excited about that. Otherwise, looks like it will be a nice winter weekend and hopefully we are outside playing lots and the kids can burn some energy before H has to go back to work Monday, if this baby isn’t showing up before then and I have to parent them basically from the couch for a few days until it does haha😜

dragonflyinn contractions can definitely be in the back rather than the front. I had a decent amount of back labor with N. Start timing it to see how rhythmic they are! Ahhh I hope this is it for you!!

Ahhh I hope this is it for you!! Literally said to H last night, how crazy if he came on the exact same day C did. We will see! Still regular in my back & water/sitting down doesn’t help so we will see I guess.

About to do some yoga to see if stretching my back out at all helps/makes it stop. Then I’d know if that’s what it was or not haha.

Happy Saturday! DD1 slept in her new “big girl” room last night. She did pretty good, but woke up with a runny nose and drool. Think it’s two year molars.
How do kids know when parents have plans?!?!? H and I were going to lunch for the first meal just the two of us in over two months. Luckily, my friend doesn’t care.

Come on babies! I want mine to stay inside until Monday.
TW::Loss Today marks one year since my D&C so I was paranoid she’d come today. I need it to be a different date. End TW
We’re trying to enjoy a family day before adding more to our crazy. We went out to breakfast, now trying to decide a fun place to take the kiddos. Hope everyone has a great day.

My H is driving me crazy this morning. He pulled all the baby shit out, my living room is a mess, and he wants to log on to door dash to try to earn a couple bucks. But this is what he does. He starts multiple fucking things at once and just leaves it all out. It drives me frigging insane.

dragonflyinn I only had back labor! Well until I was a lot closer to the end. I had no idea until my H was like somethings not right here. I got the hospital at 4cm Same here. I’ve only had back contractions the whole time with both boys. This means your baby is not facing your back. The baby can turn during the labor process. I’m need to start doing spinning babies stretches to feel like I’m at least trying to get my baby facing back. I think my pelvis is F’d up.

Hugs ajetter it makes sense that you’d want some separation in dates. Mine was really hard on me too. 😘 I’m approaching when I got pregnant with my Oct Edd mc pregnancy and I’m like I’ve basically been pregnant for a year!

There’s some excitement on the board today!
Anyone else that is planning on this being their last baby having random sadness thoughts about never being pregnant again? I would NEVER EVER think I’d have a moment about this but I’m having moments catch me off guard. I think it’s more of a life stage thing but I’d never think I’d get sad about this. We are definitely done at my choosing and would’ve been if the baby was a boy too so I was not ready for this!

DH works today so the kids and I are camped out in front of the TV! I made "healthy" peanut butter chocolate muffins and proceeded to eat 3 of them. The girls loved them, too.
I am jealous of everyone close to labor. Considering I think my true due date is about 5 days later than the date my OB is going by, I basically am assuming I will go to at least 41w. Luckily if I take it easy I don't have a lot of discomfort so I don't mind too much.

rebeccabunch I don't know if this is our last baby or not but I am definitely feeling no sadness 😂😂 pregnancy and the newborn stage are my absolute least favorite so I won't miss it at all if we decide our family is complete.

I’m very confused about my feelings bc I’d never expect to feel this way. Especially after how messed up my hormones made me feel after my D&C. I don’t want to go through that again. Hopefully it’s just a passing thing.

I was more upset about G no longer being an only child than anything else. I am so excited to be done with having babies. I get to enjoy my kids and watch them grow from now on. Every day I am one step further away from the itty bitty newborn stage. 😊
