sweetc129 , LOL at you smacking your daughter's head.

I'm such a planner, I really hate not knowing when this baby will come. Like I just wish I had a date, even if it was 5-6 weeks away, at least I'd know!

I'm getting into the stage of pregnancy where I don't want to talk to anyone. I took my daughter to the pet store last night to get a new fish and ended up having two encounters with bitchy women, I really wanted to punch them in the face. I should not be allowed in public anymore at this point.

Solidarity sister! This is so me. I was introduced to a new temp at work and I told her if you hear somebody shuffling by bitching about something that's me. She laughed....I didn't.

My ILs are now on my list as well. Someone posted a City Mini Double on a local FB BST page. It looks in good condition and they only want $100 for it. That's 1/3 of the price!! It's literally the same one we bought new. If we could still return ours, I would and just buy this one and keep the $ but its been too long.

My ILs said they wanted a stroller so my H told me to get it from them. Well now they're like "we don't want a used one, what if they had bed bugs or lice". This is a stroller! Not like bedding or something. So now I have to be THAT PERSON and tell this girl we changed our minds.

UGH.

Oh for sure buy it anyway. If they want a brand new double stroller for occasional use, they can cough up the money for it. That's ridiculous.

Hope your feeling better today clementine. Or having a baby....that'd be pretty great too

[whatsit]

Is getting a Charlie horse in you ass possible? Because if so, I have that.

[cp3]

Eek clementine. I hope you are resting or working on having a baby today.

Up until Tuesday night, I'd only ever gotten one in my calf. Then I got one in the arch of my foot sometime in the middle of the night, so I'd say totally possible.

[cp3]

Ugh yes cornpop. I have no patience with people lately. Last night Mh was trying to cuddle with me when we were going to sleep and he got his feelings hurt because I didn't want him near me. I told him that my body is already over taken by the baby I don't want anyone else touching me. I just want my body back without someone kicking me constantly lol.

[cornpop]

So I didn't realize, or I did and forgot, that I needed to get all new nipples for the bottles.  Why is having a baby so expensive???

Why don't you give the ILs yours and just buy this one from the lady on the BST for yourself?

I keep finding and remembering things I need to get for baby too. I thought I was all done shopping.

leatherpants Leaf 🌱 The only problem with limiting handwashing is I need to wash my hands every 4-ish hours to take my blood glucose reading. :/ I don't really wash my hands more than that in a day if I don't have to, but it's killlllllling me. I'm gonna start looking at the products you both recommended, though, because I'm dying. In the hands.

[mattsgirl2004]

I've been having period-like cramps going on 3 days and woke up with vaginal pain/pressure today. The triage nurse wants me to go to L&D to be checked, but I have nobody to watch my kids until DH gets home this afternoon. So, I'm laying on the couch guzzling water and hoping everything subsides so that I don't even have to go in later today. I really don't want to go to L&D. Hoping my ute gets its act together and chills out a bit.

I thought of that, but they gave us $ for the new one so it'll still be an issue.  If I had seen this one before I bought the new one though, I would have gotten it instead.  At this point I've washed my hands of their stroller drama, if they want to waste a bunch of money on a new one then go for it.  They apparently had printouts of different reviews of strollers so they'll probably end up with one way nicer than ours and use it like once a month.

I hope your body calms down mattsgirl2004! Drink so much water!

Are you able to just wash the one finger your test from?
I really am sorry. It’s so so awful.

I get them in my feet all the time but this was new. It happens when I’m walking/standing and my leg almost collapses. It’s strange.

Add me to the list of people who've been dealing with cramps. I had to keep stopping and leaning on MrRama yesterday while we were shopping for dinner because ouchies.

[leatherpants]

Is everyone going into labour today?

Was there a memo I missed?

They tell me I gotta wash my hands (plural, even), but I'm kinda leaning toward the one finger thing, too.  I just like my hands when they don't feel like fossils.

Oh.  Did we miss sending you an invite?  Whoops. #awkward




(Just BH here, though.  Nothing real-labor-y about my ctx)

Saaame! Feel better mattsgirl2004!

I was crampy last night too and got up at 2 am to throw up. And pee myself obvs. I totally had a moment of - omg is this it?

It wasn’t. Just weird.

[cp3]

I've been crampy for a few days too and feel so much pressure in my vagina but I figured it's just from her sitting low.

I was crampy during my NST yesterday but the monitors didn't pick it up so I figured they aren't doing anything.

[cp3]

So my Grandpa has been feeling sick lately and they finally did tests on him this morning and he has massive congestive heart failure and it's only functioning at 15%. So they will be putting in a pacemaker and defibrillator probably today.

My grandma has advanced Alzheimer's and he is her primary caretaker so of course he's just worried about who will take care of her.

Any good thoughts for his surgery are appreciated.

This is so hard.  I hope the surgery goes well for your grandpa. <3

[mattsgirl2004]

I feel better knowing that so many of us are feeling crampy. I'm starting to lean towards not going in this afternoon, just because it seems to be so common. The only time I've had cramping in late pregnancy is when I was in labor with DS. I feel clueless this time around as this pregnancy has been so, so different.

[mattsgirl2004]

Thinking of your grandpa cp3. Praying his surgery goes well and he has a smooth and quick recovery.

[auri]

I hope your grandpa's surgery goes well cp3.
