Well, I was wiiiiicked crampy last night from having my membranes stripped yesterday. And then just as my head hit the pillow, I was having very painful contractions every 10-12 minutes for at least an hour. Then they went away 😩 I had a few randomly throughout the night but nothing consistent. The worlds longest prodromal labor saga continues.

And here’s my 39week bump from yesterday... in comparison to my last bump pic at 39weeks with DD1! I feel like I’m so much lower with this one. This should be my last bump pic for HDBD since they’re inducing me by my due date next week regardless!!

Here is my due date bump pic from yesterday! I have an appointment this morning and then am just going to try to keep myself busy and distracted. My mom volunteered to come to my appointment with me but I know she will push me to ask about/schedule an induction and I am not interested so hard pass on that.

Latest bump shot! My babysitter is coming in a bit and then I’m headed to take a barre class followed by a massage!!!! Soooo excited! I’m interviewing a new babysitter this afternoon which makes me sad but FX she’s great. (My current one is incredible but is pregnant so I’m losing her soon.)

So last night I got a text from a friend who just had her first baby. She is surprised that she is in a lot of pain and that there was tearing and swelling and it still hurts a few days later.
So I know we don't have many ftms, but here's a psa for you. Your vag is going to hurt a lot for a while then hurt a little for a really long time. You're going to push a baby out of it.

My friend who was due 5 days after me had her baby this morning exactly 5 days after me. She woke up to her water breaking at 2:30am and was holding baby at 4:28am. She drove herself to the hospital because they were waiting for someone to watch their kiddo. Her husband almost missed the birth! Insanity.
I told DH and his response? This is why I’m glad you were induced. Lol. Two hours and we likely wouldn’t have made it to the hospital.

If you have posted pictures on facebook you can click on the picture, select copy image address and then come here and click on the "insert image" button and paste the address. We will only see the picture, none of your facebook info. That is how I post all of my pictures on here.

No bump picture because I'm #lazy. I have a note to make sure I take one right before we go to the hospital on Monday night/Tuesday morning for the induction... I'm 38 weeks today (or yesterday according to my doctor's office) and less than a week until delivery day! All day yesterday I kept thinking it was Wednesday, so I suspect it will be a long week waiting for the induction.
I slept like complete crap last night. Fell asleep easily around midnight, woke up at 2:30 to pee, then couldn't get back to sleep because I couldn't breathe (stupid pregnancy congestion) and kept poor DH awake between my sniffling and playing on my phone. He went to the couch to sleep there and I finally got to sleep around 4:30.
I'm also irrationally irritated it is snowing again and I don't even have to go out in it. I think I'm just so done being pregnant that EVERYTHING puts me at an 11.

I’m laying on the couch watching teen mom. Little man just had a bottle and is asleep in the rock and play. G is at school. MH went back to work today and I’m sad that he isn’t home with us.

This is actually really the only bump pic I’ve taken all pregnancy. I’m just not really into taking pictures of myself but I wanted at least one for the baby book. I’m 34 weeks today. I have my first NST on Friday. My GD numbers are finally being mostly controlled with insulin but it hasn’t been easy. Seeing all new babies is so exciting, but I feel like I have so long to go.

Induction is scheduled for Saturday!!! First they said tomorrow (😱😱😱) but I said that was too soon. My dr doesn’t want me going past my due date (Tuesday), and they don’t have anything available on Monday or Tuesday. So luckily they double checked for the weekend and they had an apt open for Saturday at 8am!! AND my doctor is on call all weekend so she’ll be the one doing it!! I’m psyched. Obviously I don’t want it to come to that. I’d much rather go into natural labor. But at least there’s something in the books now

tiffbabey being an end of the monther on a BMB is so hard!! Hang in there!! The bonus is that you get great advice when you ask questions after baby arrives because everyone else has been through it already :-P you look great!! 6 weeks will go by so fast.

DD is 6 weeks old today (36w1d corrected). She did well on her first night home, waking about every 4hrs for a bottle and going back to sleep in her crib after she ate. We are really lucky to have her home

Doc is putting me on a zpack to try to get rid of my cough! Hopefully it helps and isn't a waste of using antibiotics. I do not like using them just because but in this case I think it will be good to try. I stopped and got huevos rancheros after my appt! So good. I think I will go get a mani/pedi now bc we have a snow day! Then I will do some cleaning up around the house and I might also make another meal or two to pop in the freezer!

It’s just me and DD4 at the house for the next two hours and I don’t plan to move off the couch. I got everyone ready for school and started a load of laundry. That’s good enough for one day!

I don’t get what she thought recovery was going to be like. You pushed a baby out of your vagina. I remember I wasn’t able to use tampons for a couple of months because it was so uncomfortable. I never expected to feel 100% right away.

I keep feeling like it's "almost time" for us because it is for so many here, but then I have to remind myself I still have a month (or more) to go. But it is so fun seeing all the new babies too!

I’m kind of laughing at all of our expressions for those that are close to due dates or past. Like, we’re just over it all. I’m 37+2 today and my boobs and belly are officially merging together. 😳 Last night was the first night in a while that I never once got up to pee or move to the couch to be more comfortable. It was the best.

As a FTM I "know" that recovery is going to hurt and I'm going to be in pain, but even knowing that beforehand I can imagine still being surprised by how MUCH it hurts, or how long it's going to hurt. I think beforehand it's more conceptual and you know that it's going to hurt, but actually experiencing that level of pain can still be surprising even if you are expecting it.

And maybe harsh was the wrong word there mrsp84! I just think as a FTM the expectation of something vs. the reality of it can be very different.

That’s true-the level of pain can be surprising. Like, how much it hurts. I was surprised with the passing of clots happening weeks after delivery. No one told me about that before.
