I took DD out for a quick grocery trip and I got stopped 3 different times asking when I’m due and if I’m excited and if DD is excited 🙄 it’s like I’m wearing a sign or something. Maybe it’s my facial expression of being COMPLETELY OVER IT that makes them ask. But really, thanks people but stop.

ajetter Good luck today! amesie Damn, you have some pretty great in laws! I’ve been having contractions all morning, about 10 minutes apart. Not painful, just very tight and uncomfortable. I’m assuming this will just keep happening for the next week or more (due in 8 days) 😕. OR, maybe I’m in denial like last time and she’ll come tomorrow! And H and I have finally decided on a name: Emmeline. Now we have to find a middle name. Nickname would be Emmie....is that the best way to spell that?

bassa love it! I think Emmie is a good way to spell it. My DD1 is Emma and that is also one of her nick names

@amsie I found it annoying when people would ask if DS was excited because I feel like he didn't quite understand yet.
Also I found my hand pump! Hallelujah!

Speaking of the flu, my favorite least favorite topic, helloerrbody how is your H doing? Did you or your DS ever catch it? 🤞 Thanks for thinking of us! H is finally feeling better. We were so lucky and no one else caught it!! DS hasn’t seen H in a week which has been torture for both of them (and me) and so he’s gonna see him tonight for dinner and bath. DS is gonna freak!!!!

Ugh it seems like the flu is rampant this year. I’ve never heard so many people, both on here and IRL, have the flu in one season before. Has me all terrified now They say it is the worst flu season in decades, at least in my state. The death toll is way higher than usual at this date in the season. So sad and scary.

When y’all have contractions that aren’t “real” (meaning part of active labor), are they all over your belly or just down low? I’ve been having some cramps but they feel exactly like period cramps and are just down low like where your uterus normally is lol. It’s not a tightening up high at all. I’m a STM so I feel dumb but it my first pregnancy I literally felt nothing until I was in the hospital in active labor.

I’m a STM so I feel dumb but it my first pregnancy I literally felt nothing until I was in the hospital in active labor. the first time it happened, it was more so just waves of really really bad period cramps. The last time it happened where I thought I was legit in labor, I had the severe period-like cramping in addition to the tightening all over my abdomen.

I feel like I’m reading into EVERY possible symptom I am having lately.... but after all the contractions yesterday and today, my stomach feels so “off” and uneasy today... not sure what that means but I just feel weird

I am thinking the “not real” ones I’m having are either the period cramps OR the tightening up high. I’ve read real labor is a combo of both— like you feel it in your whole front.

helloerrbody For me it’s a tightening of my whole belly. It makes my belly look like a funny shape too. Going on 11 hours of every 10 minutes and it’s reaaaally annoying. 🙄 (Sorry, just whining!)

So I’m 3cm & 75%. Same as I was 4 days before DD came! Hopefully I have a baby this weekend! She said she could feel his head like RIGHT THERE & everything felt very “favorable” & when it does happen she thinks it will be very quick. I have an appt next week & then we scheduled an induction for the 22nd (41 weeks) just in case. So at the worst I’m only pregnant 10 more days!

Sooo my sister is taking me out for appetizers and possibly adult beverages (yay! finally!) but I'm in the in-between of what clothes fit me. Is it acceptable to wear yoga pants out to dinner?? I'm only half kidding... That's all I've worn since delivery.

I worked from home today and got some stuff accomplished. It was poring rain all day and tomorrow we’re supposed to wake up to 6-8 inches of snow which doesn’t sound favorable for replacing the window in the nursery and that’s stressing me out.

My babysitter came this afternoon, and I went to barre and am now getting a pedicure. First time I’ve done something for myself since DS’s surgery. Feels good.
