Well the walk we did yesterday and the secks did nothing but make me sore 😑 no further contractions since after the walk yesterday. Womp womp. I’m starting to come to terms that this baby is going to hang on until my induction on Wednesday. Stubborn little girl!

amesie DS waited until the night before his scheduled induction to be born. Maybe she’s just holding out until she knows she has a deadline.

peachesncream and other moms w the overdue history. When I was overdue w DS1 I would wake up each morning, realize I was still pregnant and nothing was happening and it felt like waking up on Christmas morning and realizing Santa forgot to come to your house!

Haha I have started getting pissed off when I wake up to pee in the middle of the night because I keep hoping I am waking up in labor! 🤣

I rather enjoyed scaring everyone around me. We went out to dinner on the night I was due, of course I was asked by the server when I was due, and I was like oh, today. I could go into labor right now! The look I got... Also when I went grocery shopping and told the check out clerk I was due 2 days ago (at the time). It was rather funny.

I was scheduled for induction at 39+3 with her. I was due there for 8am and my contractions had started at 2am that day. I’m betting that this little one is going to hang tight until the last possible second too 😂 apparently I have a very cozy uterus

I’m currently having lunch all by myself. I am also going shopping. MH had his alone time last night playing D&D for hours. He can deal with the kids for a few hours alone.

Yes, sunfrogger, I feel like people's eyes just get big when the response to "when are you due?" is sometime in the past!

Just did a run to Walmart and told DH I felt like I was doomsday prepping. Major stocking up on things for the baby like wipes and also stuff for me like shampoo and razors. I also had gotten some advice from my friend IRL that is 2 weeks pp and she recommended more lighter flow pads and tons of snacks for the nursing-induced hunger. So I got a bunch of that kind of stuff too. And various kinds of Aquaphor, that was calling to me!

My mom generously offered to make us a bunch of freezer meals! I was thinking she would make them after the baby was born (I am 38 weeks tomorrow) - but she made them throughout the last couple days.
She is dropping them off today and I need to find room in our freezer. I am very grateful!

I’m at my parents place because it was my dad’s birthday last night and DS and I just stayed over. It’s great because he has two grandparents, two aunts, and an uncle to chase him around instead of parenting in my own while DH works.
However, I’m feeling kind of panicky about stuff that needs to get done before baby and wishing I could be home purging some of the rooms that are out of control. Suddenly it’s only a few weeks away. It is amazing how time sneaks up! I’m making a hospital packing list so I can feel productive and chill out 😛
Last time I went full nesting DS showed up RIGHT as I got everything I needed done, so hopefully this guy hangs out long enough for my to tackle my current obsessions, like the medicine cabinet full of expired OTC meds and so on.

I made a tiny bit of progress in the nursery! I put away a ton of too-small clothes from DD1 that were taking up space in the closet. On one of my wfh days this week I'm going to tackle it while I can still put DD in daycare.

MH finished painting the bathroom and is now taking my car to clean it out and vacuum it. It’s so gross in there. I think his nesting is kicking in hardcore 😂 all I’ve had to do is entertain the toddler today, but since she’s been an angel lately, I think I got the easy end of the stick!

People must think my house is disgusting based on all the stuff I bought today.

I have to go run a Girl Scout meeting in 30 min. I really don’t want to. I liked it way better when I wasn’t the troop leader.
A little PSA, we love the Ollie Swaddle, so I was going to order a couple more, filled my cart, and started the check out process, but didn’t have my CC nearby. Yesterday they emailed me a 10% off code to complete my order, which I still didn’t do, and today I got sent a 15% off code. So if you have any interest, slow play them I guess? Haha. It’s $100 for two swaddles so the 15% is definitely a good help.

I'm here. Still pregnant. Due tomorrow. In today's self induction story I went for a 1.5 mi hike and had sex but of course nothing. In a few moments I will be bouncing on an exercise ball and eating a pineapple.
We were talking about how it would be so ironic if I were in labor during the football game that mh is desperate to watch today. I was saying that the TV will not be on from the moment of my first contraction until the baby is born. Even my mom was like, "well you might want a distraction". Umm no. And if I did it wouldn't be football!!!! I'm not a sports fan anyway!! I looked at mh and my mom and yelled "what is the matter with you people!?" And of course now dd is going around yelling, "what is the matter with you people?" It's pretty great.

I was a little too busy to notice or care 😂 we did joke that DD2 was born in time for us to watch a big basketball game we wanted to watch, I think it started an hour or two after she was born. At this point I would very much love to be watching the Vikings game in the hospital. I think probably DH wouldn't mind much either!

I did a barre cardio class today and the clients were all wide-eyed at my jumping and joking that I was going to go into labor there. It’s weird because DS1 came at 37 weeks (I’m 38+1 now), but I have a feeling I might go overdue with this guy.

I told my husband he needs to get in to see his doctor ASAP. He is ALWAYS tired and always too tired to do anything if I ask for help.
I’m not trying to be a jerk like he’s trying to get it of helping, he legit seems exhausted. So I told him he really should see a doctor because someone our age shouldn’t need to lay down and rest multiple times a day or be unable to help with childcare or whatnot because he’s too tired.
I understand being exhausted the weeks he’s working 60+ hours and I even understand hat he needs to make up that sleep sometime. But it’s a little ridiculous.

We had been watching the movie Hitman, and after a few minutes DH was like maybe I should turn this off? Lol.

There was a Jaws marathon on while I was hanging out with my epidural. I watched all four of them.

So now all the coughing has led to major rib pain....any ideas on what I can do to relieve that a little? Of course I'll check with the OB when I go in for my appt on Tuesday but just wanted to see if anyone here has dealt with it.
DS is already asleep so I think I will try to get to bed nice and early tonight!
