I slept like crap per usual. My body pillow has completely flattened from all the usage over recent months so my hip pain has been out of control. I can’t justift spending more money on another one though with mere days left of this pregnancy. So thereforeI just have to suck it up 😞

I’m just going to talk to myself here until everyone joins me I have an ultrasound today at 1030 since I’m scheduled for induction on Saturday. I’m excited to see how big she is now that I’m at the end. They were spot on with dd1’s size with my ultrasounds with her, although i am fully aware that it could still be very wrong.

Good morning! I am here. Still no baby. I think my mom and I might go get pedicures today. Not sure what else is on the agenda.

Good morning! We are up and have had breakfast. G is just about ready for school. MH took today off because he has something to do. He is going to bring her to the bus so I haven’t even showered yet. Today I don’t have much planned. If I feel up to it, I will do some cleaning.

Morning! DH and I went and bought a car yesterday. It’s a 2014 Honda CR-V and we are pretty excited about it after driving our old ladies for so long It’s going to be DH’s car mostly since mine still runs fine, but I’m totally eyeing my next ride now. I missed HDBD, but it’s the 36 week pic so I made sure to take one today!

DH and DD1 just ran out for coffee and donuts. We got 10” of snow yesterday and we are in N.C. so the whole city is shut down. The plows haven’t touched most of the main roads let alone neighborhood roads. Here is a pic from yesterday when we had a few inches. It’s so pretty but I hate that I probably won’t be able to get out of the house for a few days at least.

Good morning! I've been up since 5 because DD needed a tissue *facepalm*.
I'm 39 and 3 today and I have my weekly appt. I have always declined the cervical checks but I think today I'm going to have her check and also to have her do a membrane sweep if she will. Not sure if they'll do that before 40 weeks?
I'm having contractions but they aren't painful at all yet.
I was thinking today would be a cool day to have a baby, it's 1/18/18.

I have never had a membrane sweep because my cervix has never been open enough 😂 probably depends on the practice/doctor but I have definitely heard of people having them before 40 weeks! FX!

I don't think we have any scheduled babies today. @cale has a scheduled induction on Friday. Fx your babies decide to come soon peachesncream and amesie. Mine would have done a sweep at 39 weeks. We have toddler swim this afternoon. It is supposed to warm up a bit but still be pretty cold. Newborn pics on Saturday!

sarahh, 10” in NC?!? My dad has a townhouse near Durham (he travels a lot for work) and when my mom went down to visit him, they got like 2” and the city freaked out; everything was shut down for days. I cannot imagine getting more than that. Things would be at a standstill. I’m in the Midwest so this is a normal snowfall for us, but I know it’s much different in the South. Hopefully it doesn’t stick around for long!

I actually had a membrane sweep with DD at 38 and 5 but it was a different situation because my water had broken and I was trying different ways to kickstart contractions without pitocin. It didn't work though

DH and DD1 just ran out for coffee and donuts. STUCK IN THE BOX: I need to remember this when I am PP and DH is still on leave. That sounds yummy on a cold morning!

I think my good friend IRL will have her babies today! Twins! They started inducing yesterday and I hope today is the day. Whoever mentioned it above, 1/18/18 is a cool day for a birthday!

I think my OB was more willing to do it since I’ve been in prodromal labor since Sunday. I think she/we were hoping it’d get things moving more. It certainly has made my contractions more uncomfortable, but it hasn’t progressed at all.

I go in this afternoon to have cervidil applied. I’m there for a couple of hours to be monitored and then probably sent home for the night, actual induction tomorrow morning.
I have a lot of things I should be doing like laundry, cleaning the bathroom, etc. But instead, laying on the couch watching tv.
Last day(s) of being childless. So crazy!

I’m having anxiety about being induced on Saturday. I think I’m going to talk to my dr today about pushing it to next week. I just feel lik with my body trying to get things going already, I’d much rather be able to do it on my own than force my body before it’s ready. I’ll have to see what my BP is today at my apt though before I go talking to her about it. But based off our conversation a couple days ago, she was OK with waiting till next week, they just didn’t have any induction apts available monday/Tuesday when my due date is. Ugh.

I have my weekly OB appointment today - 37w3d.
My FWP for today is I bought a different brand of English muffins. I don’t like them. I should have stuck with my normal brand.

Laying down watching tv in peace is exactly what you should be doing. From tomorrow forward you will always be on call 24/7 for someone needing you. Good luck cake!

I am so jealous they send you home after Cervadil. I had to stay with my first and will have to stay this time and it makes for a long, uncomfortable, sleepless night. Probably the thing I am dreading most about potentially being induced, blah. FX for a smooth induction and an easy labor/baby day tomorrow!

I forgot why they wanted to induce you. Is it past baby size bc I remember thinking big baby at ur DD1s stats. Maybe the u/s you have will help you find peace either way. I think it’s you with the us....

They mentioned it as a possibility the first time around but wound up keeping me because my BP was too high. This time they are nervous that Cervadil will jump start actual labor since I am a third time mom so I would be stuck there again! A night in your own bed sounds wonderful, enjoy it :-)

peachesncream that makes sense. Hopefully if you end up being induced, it will move you quickly into labour!

Thinking of you cake benandjerrys amesie peachesncream !! Hopefully another busy weekend like last around these parts!! N is a week old today! Yesterday was her due date and to celebrate she lost her umbilical stump 😭 We also had our amazing wedding photographer come out to our house for newborn/family pics! I’m so excited to see them! DS woke up with a wicked cough last night where the last time that happened to him it prompted us to call 911. Luckily his inhaler kicked in right away this time and he settled back in with a humidifier and H slept in the basement near him to listen to him and he woke up feeling much better, so hopefully was a fluke or his lungs maybe strengthened some more with age. But we kept him home from preschool anyway just in case. We had record breaking warm weather yesterday and expected to today as well so I’m hoping to finally get N outside for the first time!! The perils of being born during one of our -40 stretches lol!
