Hi ladies, TGIF.

[sunfrogger]

I had a total meltdown last night before bed over this pregnancy. That was a joy. I felt like I haven't enjoyed much of it at all and I feel super guilty. Between it being a surprise and then it being physically different it's been so stressful.

I'm just so sore. No matter what I do. Sit, stand, lean, everything hurts from these extra 40lbs and it's time to be done at 40+2. Only a few more days until eviction.

I'm just cranky.

There's a new Sephora opening down the street from me today. I 100% plan to be there at 10 when they open, DD1s attitude be damned. My sister is going to meet me there. I have a list of stuff I need (OK, want, let's be honest) so I'm pretty excited. I figure at 10 most people are st school or work so it shouldn't be too crowded.

sunfrogger I don’t blame you at all. Pregnancy is just plain difficult especially at the end. Hope you get goodies at Sephora!

Had a crappy night here after midnight. I’m hoping to nap a little today and shop for a new couch. Our tax return hit our account so that’s a plus.

[snowyowl]

DS slept from 5:45 to 7:10am, not counting ten-fifteen minute capnaps. I know night 2 can be bad, but I’m a mess. I know today the more I can start him shifting to a daytime schedule the better, but I’ll need so many naps.

[kyzo]

Headed in for our RCS. All I can think about is how freaking hungry I am. DH can never get his shit together so I'm going to be 15 min late to check-in. Good thing I did the consents and paperwork yesterday.

[bassa]

sunfrogger I’m sorry it’s so unpleasant. The end is near!

Baby E is all congested, so she’s sleeping upright on my chest right now. We need to buy a new nosefrida. Last night was rough, but because the toddler woke up crying 4 times. Whyyyyyy. I’m so tired, my eyes and head hurt.

[sunfrogger]

I'm excited for Sephora though. I have chapstick, lip mask, hydrating serum and exfoliant on my list. I have a good sleep mask and general regimen already so I don't need much. I'm almost out of my chapstick though and it's amazing so I need more.

[sunfrogger]

Hugs to everyone with bad nights and sleep. I remember that. I'm already exhausted so I feel cheated I'm not getting those last few nights of good sleep in.

kyzo good luck with your RCS today!!

[sunfrogger]

watermelonseed our refund hit yday too. Woop 🙌🏻

AND our bonuses get paid out next Fri with our normal checks. Wahhooooo.

[cake]

I think I have the stomach flu. Or maybe food poisoning? I’ve been to the bathroom (I’m sure you don’t want the details) 4 times in the past hour and I keep dry heaving. I’m freaking out a bit about passing anything on to the baby. My mom is coming over now to watch him and I’m going to Lysol everything.

[easternshoregirl]

This baby girl is so sweet. She's so easy compared to DS!
She's had a few great nights already with 3 or 4 hour stretches of sleep. I think E was prob 8 weeks or so before he got there.
I'm going to do a little bit of yoga again today. I'm only 2 weeks pp but I'm talking like less than 10 min, just something to help me feel good!

[easternshoregirl]

Good luck kyzo!

sunfrogger I felt the same exact way as you did between being unplanned and being way different physically. I really resented being pregnant especially after the gd diagnosis and it was a rough spot. For me, it really didn’t 100% change until Ds2 was here. But I will say saying how I was feeling out loud when I was having a really hard day helped.

[Deleted]

We have another weight check today and then errands. I’m bummed we didn’t get going in time to do something special with DS1 since it’s his last day of break and H is most likely going back to work on Monday so we’re losing our family time.

[tiffbabey]

I am still waiting to go in for my induction! I broke down on the phone with the nurse this morning, it’s really frustrating and stressful and I’m not sure how much more I can handle. I talked to my OBs office, my actual OB is on vacation this week, but I talked to my nurse practitioner who has done a lot of my appointments. She really isn’t able to do much, she’s been taking to the doctor on call and the hospital has just been super busy, with no beds available for over two days now. It’s kinda hard to believe. If they can’t get me in today she wants me to come in for an NST since it’s been a week now since we’ve done any monitoring. I am just praying they can get me in, I’m supposed to call at noon if they don’t call me first.

tiffbabey what are they doing with women who come in in active labor if they can’t find a bed for you? Like I get being busy but for 3 straight days seems a bit excessive.

[Deleted]

Good luck kyzo!

[marygracerich]

Good morning!
I’m currently feeding the little man. G is at school. I don’t have too many plans today. After MH gets home from work I’m going to the grocery store. Other than that, it’s a normal day over here.

[bassa]

tiffbabey Ugh, I’m so sorry. They’re really dragging this out!

[bassa]

FFFC: Lots of people talk about mourning the end of their first child being an only child. I feel the opposite. DD1 will be better off with a sibling, but also I feel bummed that I can’t give DD2 all of the undivided baby attention that DD1 got.

I think the people with active labor are getting the beds over me, which is why it’s taking so long. Every time something opens up, a new emergency or active labor comes in. Last night when I called at 6, the nurse told me they had just had three deliveries and made it seem like they might call me in the middle of the night, but they didn’t. And when I called at 6 this morning, there were no beds, so I guess at last three people came in over night. I just don’t see how they ever get any inductions done at this rate. My NP said it doesn’t usually take this long.

41+5 today. 12 days overdue. Resigning myself to the fact that this kid is just not gonna budge. Got the gel inserted last night, and my midwife discovered I was 5cm dilated--but nothing was happening. I am so over being pregnant. I thought that by this time I was going to be able to start going back to enjoying the things I used to pre-pregnancy. I hurt. I feel like I've been kicked repeatedly in the groin. Standing up/walking is super painful. I'm nauseous and starving at the same time. I don't sleep well. I have so much to do, but can't do anything until this kid gets out. GET OUT.

Induction is Sunday. That feels like forever from now.

[pippiann]

kyzo good luck!
cake hope you feel better soon.
sunfrogger hopefully that babe decides to make an appearance soon. Have fun at Sephora.

sorry for the breakdown. I thoroughly did not enjoy any of this pregnancy. It made me feel so guilty since I enjoyed being pregnant with dd1 so much, I felt like I was cheating DD2 out of something by not enjoying it. BUT I am enjoying the newborn phase with DD2 WAY more than DD1 which has eased my guilt. I feel like it equals out haha.

Youre soooo close to the end!! Hand in there mama!

Sorry to all of the frustrated, still preggo mommas. Hang in there and let yourself feel whatever you need to feel to get through.

J was up until 3 or so and then I slept upright with her on my chest for 3 hours or so. I am pooped. She had her ENT appointment yesterday and they scoped her nose, which was rather traumatic for both of us. I think her poor little nose was still irritated from that :-( the ENT said that she has narrow nasal passages and basically told us that the next 6 months will be hard and scary, especially if she gets a cold.

My family is coming into town this weekend and we are having J baptized. I am looking forward to family time but am feeling stressed about cleaning and getting everything ready.

[benandjerrys]

sunfrogger, the end of this pregnancy was so rough. Feel all your feels.

[benandjerrys]

peachesncream j also has narrow nasal passages and the ENT said to call for afrin if he gets a cold. (I think it was afrin). Did your ENT say anything like that? I'm glad you got a timeline, is it 6 most because that's when they can also breathe through their mouth?

[Deleted]

benandjerrys yes! I think our kiddos have similar things going on. He mentioned Afrin but said only to use it in case of emergency - no more than once a week or so. Yes, the 6 month mark is when they start mouth breathing according to him.

He also mentioned that laying on the stomach is good because sometimes it can force mouth breathing so I have thought about putting J in the PNP on her stomach to sleep but I am too nervous to yet 🙈

[snowyowl]

I can’t believe you are still waiting, tiffbabey! All my fingers crossed they get you in soon.

One of my nurses was telling me that this year they had 34 women who were due in January, and 79 due in February. Apparently one of the doctors was asking what the hell happened 9-10 months ago 😛

sunfrogger I wasn’t a fan of pregnancy this time around either. It felt cruel that this one was over two weeks longer. I hope things get going for you soon!

Best of luck, kyzo! Congrats on meeting your squish soon!

girlonabike 5 cm and still nothing?! I hope your weekend flies by, good luck on Sunday.
