I just made a joke to DH about going into labor in the MOTN and his eyes got as big as saucers and he said "THAT'S NOT FUNNY. I'M NOT READY." Bahaha okay dude, let me just relay that message of convenience right along to my ute. He claims he needs this week to prepare. Uh, you have had almost 39 weeks to prepare (okay, like 37 I guess since you don't really know for the first two, but who's counting?). Get over it dude 😂

Well I did get some newborn clothes washed and put away and also some blankets so I guess we are making progress.
I'm trying to be better about Kegels but I know I'm not doing them enough!

dragonflyinn, sex has been like that for me for everrrrr. I get srs vasovaginal swelling during pregnancy which always gives me a yeast infection when it comes on. After we DTD it literally pains me to do anything other than sit or lay down for probably a good 4-5 hours. so I hear you girl. with DD I was definitely on the DTD to get labor started train.. and that did absolutely nothing for me.. so I am so very less hopeful this time around! I know MH is hoping to DTD tonight which is why he's up doing dishes while I'm supposed to be writing my final paper for Marketing.. oops.

I've done nothing productive this weekend and it has been wonderful.
We are expected to get an ice/snow storm over night and into the morning and if that is the case I'm going to cancel my NST. I'm not driving on icy roads and risking an accident or slipping on the way into the doctor's office when there are zero indications something is wrong.

Ya I’m still hurting y’all lol. At least we have been able to DTD this time— with DD it was ridiculous how terrible we were at doing it while pregnant and didn’t even try past like 30 weeks. I am LOL-ing at your H sunfrogger bc H is in there doing dishes without asking bc we did DTD earlier hahaha

We’ve kept relatively regular at DTD, but DH certainly gives no shits if I say the only reason I want to do it is to get baby out. He isn’t choosy, he takes whatever he can get. Lol.

I have gained 30 pounds already and it is ALL belly. My back hurts no matter how I sit and I am just so done with carrying all this extra weight around!

I'm not driving on icy roads and risking an accident or slipping on the way into the doctor's office when there are zero indications something is wrong. We're supposed to get that same storm tomorrow afternoon into the evening. I'm traveling for work so I'm a little anxious. DD's DC is only a mile from our house, and my H is a good driver, so I am going to take the Forester (which is my car anyway, but meant for the kids) up with me to NJ.

DH does have the flu. UGHHHHHHHH He, DS, and I all started Tamiflu and we quarantined him upstairs. But since my mom is here we had to move all of her shit downstairs (which was A LOT) and have spent all evening cloroxing, washing sheets, etc.

The good thing is you know he has it and you are taking precautions. It’s so much extra work though at a time when you have other things to do. I’m currently quarantining my H for the stomach flu. I keep telling myself better now than a couple weeks later but I’m pretty salty. 🤞🙏😷 for you!

So I can't go to sleep bc were burning a fire in the wood stove and the smell is really really really irritating to my nose and is keeping me from falling asleep. This reminds me we need to have the chimney cleaned.
Ughhhhh. I am SO looking forward to sleeping by myself tomorrow.

DH explained his thoughts about his conversation with me in a MUCH better tone. Basically stated neither of us can handle baby being up until 2 am.
Last night DS slept in a bouncy chair in his crib because we were desperate.Tonight I talked him into a rock n play. We still are hesitant but he will not sleep in his crib.
I should really be asleep because my next pump session is in 3 hours.

I should really be asleep because my next pump session is in 3 hours. Use the rock n play. The baby wouldn’t sleep in his bassinet so I put him in the rnp. He sleeps like a champ there. Worry about transitioning him to the crib another day. Right now, get some sleep. If that means he sleeps in the rnp, it’s no big deal.

I think I’m broken. Baby boy slept like a champ. We went to bed at midnight. He woke up at 2:35 to eat and then didn’t wake up again until 5:30. Sounds great right?! Well I didn’t sleep at all between feedings and I still can’t sleep.

jessijean DD2 & 3 slept in the RnP for like 5.5 months. I needed the sleep to function. Yes we had a rough couple of days when we did transition, but we survived and it was fine. Do what you have to do to get some rest. amesie darn it! I had a few painful contractions last night but they didn’t turn into anything either. I’m bummed. Come on babies!! At 38w3d I’m the most pregnant I’ve ever been.

I feel like in the beginning you gotta do what you gotta do to get sleep.
