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 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.... it’s mostly because of my BP. I had high BP with my DD1 and it’s been following suit this pregnancy too. They also have been monitoring her size bc my DD1 was huge, but this LO has been measuring completely normal all along. my BP has been so borderline this pregnancy, with a few elevated readings (in the 140’s). It was high again today 142/80, but came down to the 120’s by the end of the apt after sitting for a bit. The dr I saw today wasn’t my usual dr so he told me to call my reg dr to talk to her about the induction since he didn’t want to step on her toes. But he said based off what he can see with my history, he could go either way. He would be fine with inducing me Saturday or waiting till next week if I was more comfortable with that. He also said that since this is baby #2 and my cervix is favorable, the induction should go fairly easily. Anyway, i have a call out to my dr to see what she thinks based off my BP today. Initially, she said on Tuesday that she was OK with waiting till my due date to induce me since my BP has been borderline, not necessarily super high. But now i don’t know if she’ll be ok with waiting since it was high again today. If she’s more adamant about me going before my due date, I’ll feel more comfortable with going Saturday. I need her reassurance first and I’ll feel better about it.

I’m being super lazy today. Preschool is closed again today so we had our babysitter come by to play with DD1 for a few hours. I was planning to nap but instead I’m watching ER on Hulu.
So I’m thinking about getting a TULA Free to Grow. We have a couple of carriers from DD1 (Ergo, Baby Bjorn and Beco Gemini) that I wasn’t a huge fan of but also didn’t use much because she had hip dysplasia and we couldn’t use a carrier for her since she was in a brace. For this one I got a Solly wrap which I like okay but think I would like a sturdier carrier. Anyone have any reviews of this one? Or I could wait and get the standard TULA.

Heading out to my NST shortly...
Spent the morning paying bills and drafting a new budget (stupid day care expenses). We can make it work, but the biggest sacrifice is we are putting a ton less money in savings than we normally would be, but we are still putting some aside so I guess it isn't too bad. It will be interesting to see what DH has to say about where I'm choosing to make cuts (obviously these aren't final until we agree). Right now we are able to maintain our current retirement savings rate, but we are trimming our fun money, entertainment, vacation fund, gift fund (both of these we save all year so we have money available when we want to take a vacation or for Christmas/birthday/other gifts), and smaller trims to a few other funds like monthly clothing and home improvement funds.

sarahh I desperately want a FTG! I missed all the good deals on the Tula website at the end of last year so now I am just waiting to pull the trigger. Maybe I can find a good deal on a BST.

I’m here. Second night in a row that I slept the entire night in bed; yet I still do not feel rested. That likely isn’t going to happen for another...18 years! 🤪
I’m just doing the last of the handoff at work to people that will be taking over my stuff while I’m gone. After today, I won’t have much to do and I’m ok with that.

I just joined 2 on Facebook last night and am waiting to be approved by one of them. The one that already approved me only had one and I think it was hard to find. The ones I saw on eBay were only like $20 less than retail so I may just have to get a new one but may keep searching a few days before I commit to that. I like that you don’t have to use a newborn insert for that one.

sarahh we were just discussing Tulas on my other BMB the other day! We are a Tula-obsessed group over there haha. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Tula. I also have a beco Gemini which I used for the first 6 months with DD1. I was convinced she hated being worn until I got a Tula and then she looooooved being worn all the time. I kept carrying her until my tummy got too big with this pregnancy. If I wasn’t so damn attached to that carrier, I’d sell it and get a FTG. I desperately want one since the infant insert seems like a pain in the ass to use. We’ll see. I can’t justify buying a ftg without selling my current Tula but I don’t know if I’m willing to let go of it. I feel so silly being so attached to it haha.

Be careful with buying on eBay...I bought an Ergo 360 that turned out to be counterfeit and it was a huge hassle to get the refund (from China)!
I joined "Babywearing on a Budget" on FB and got a Tula a couple of months ago but I stopped following because Lord knows I do NOT need to be buying any other carriers. We have an original Ergo, Tula, ring sling, Boba, borrowing a K'Tan....I feel like maybe something else too.

So I noticed a few days ago gold sparkles when I closed my eyes. I forgot to tell my midwife today so I googled it. And guess what. The first link was to the bump in 2010 and ajetter was asking the same question!! I was like, "oh, I know her!"

So dehydrated today! And I've had a ton to drink. I guess maybe the antibiotics?
I do feel like breathing is easier today, so maybe the meds are working. Or maybe it is in my head! I was coughing a ton still during the night. I think I'll prob end up with a lingering cough still anyway but if I could stop coughing up gross green stuff, that would be awesome. Sorry for the details.

Yeah I have never changed my sn and I’ve clearly been around way too long.

Their Complete 6-in-1 line has been around longer than the free to grow. They also have lumbar support included with their SSCs.

Spoke with my doctor, and we’re both on board to changing my induction! It’s now scheduled for Wednesday the 24th (the day after my due date)... hopefully it won’t come to that, but at least now we have a date that we’re both comfortable with in case we need to force this child outta me I’m much more relieved about this now!

Beautiful sunfrogger!!!! It has never been in the budget for me to do maternity pics but I lucked out and got picked by a local photographer to do them for free for her portfolio for renting dresses. Took them last week. Since I didn’t pay I’m not sure when I’ll get to see them but I snapped this while changing lol.

Gorgeous helloerrbody !!! Its not in my budget either. A local -ish studio ran an event where they did portraits for expectant mom's and you got a free one. So, that's my free one! I didn't buy a package because $$$$$

Thanks bassa 😘! My mom baked some delicious goodies. After dinner DD1 and I might run over for a quick grandparent visit to steal some! I have 2 weeks left of work. I can't believe it.
