Ugh washing dishes makes my arms hurt because my belly is so big I can’t get close to the sink 😂 This and making dinner. My belly is entirely too close to the stove unless I’m turned sideways😬🙈 Yep to both making dinner and dishes. I've been making pretty basic meals lately along with using paper plates to limit the amount of cooking and dishes I have to do.

We had friends and their babies over for dinner tonight. It was so nice to actually shower, look presentable, cook, and spend time with them... even though I am dead tired now. L slept basically all evening though so I’m sure we’re in for a fun night ahead. My mom, grandparents, and 2 aunts are coming into town for a visit tomorrow. So I’m hoping we can get a little sleep tonight. Grandparents and aunts will drive back tomorrow evening but my mom will be staying for 2 weeks so yay!

I just don't understand all the parents that want to make a big production out of you leaving their house. I'm presuming that you live near enough that you see them regularly. I can kinda understand it if you live far enough that you only see them a few times a year.

Played the "contractions or digestion/gas" game through most of our date night movie tonight. It was more intense than usual buuuut they settled once I got to the restroom and then home to put my feet up. I still feel kind of on edge tonight, so we'll see.
I really don't know if I'm going to make it to Wednesday and my mom getting here. Or maybe my body is just going to play games with my mind for two more weeks. 🤷🏻♀️

EDDs are basically useless 😒 Hopwfully baby chills until your mom arrives!

Today I’ve eaten garlic bread with mustard seeds, pork belly on mash with spinach and jus, sticky toffee pudding and ice cream, pan fried haloumi and a ham and feta omelette.
It’s been a good pregnant eating day.

Leaf 🌱 you said no to Easter, right? You're definitely within your right to put your foot down. I mean I was half as pregnant but I still regret not putting my foot down about hosting my ungrateful in laws for Thanksgiving. Lol. I hope your DH figures out what you need right now!

Leaf 🌱 i hope you can get out of it and plan a date night or something before your baby is here. i forgot how hungry nursing makes me...this is worse than pregnancy. i’m giving myself the rest of the month then i need to rein in the garbage eating. going to my moms for breakfast , then laundry, cleaning, and maybe grocery store.

I'm trying really hard to be careful with what and how much food I eat, but DH showed up at home last night with ice cream from Dairy Queen and I devoured it. Couldn't help myself. It was so good and so worth the extra calories.
Also, and totally random, my new neighbor invited myself and kids over for a play date tomorrow. She's very pregnant as well. So, we figured we'd let our littles play while we chat. Anyhow, I'm a very shy person IRL and I'm so nervous about this. I've never actually talked to her in person (she invited me via FB), despite the fact that she lives directly across the street from me. Making new friends is hard.

mattsgirl2004 making new friends is hard!! But that does sound really nice and I hope it goes well! How great would it be to have a good friend right across the street with kids close in age 😊😊 And even if she doesn't end up being a good friend, could still be nice for the kiddos!

We had a rough day yesterday. If E wasn't eating or sleeping she was crying and wouldn't let me put her down. This continued into the night... Only there was very little sleeping. I finally got her to sleep at about 0630. Then I got to sleep. It is 0945 now and she is fussing in the crib, so I need to get her up and change her diaper and nurse her. All that fun stuff. I really hope today is better. I am tired.

These babies need to be nicer to their mamas. She seems happy this morning, so fingers crossed.

I was up at 5 with contractions that fizzled out. I never had this false labor with DD1 and it is driving me insane.

With DS1 I never had so much as a twinge and now I just have weird pains all the time. Ditto to all of this. I was up on and off all night with just weird pains. We were thinking of doing Disney this morning but I'm afraid it would be too much walking when I don't really want to kickstart things if I can help it.

My family is here to visit and L has decided it’s the perfect time for a marathon nursing session. They are so excited to see him and I’m excited to see them, but we’re just nursing for days back in his room. Come on baby, drink faster!!

Warning rant ahead... Ijust called my mom to tell her I’m home all day if she wants to come see how to use my appliances. She proceeded to tell me I sound tired or sick. The. Wanted to know if I thought “things were happening”. HOW WOULD I KNOW?? Holy crap. I just feel like shit. I hurt. I’m tired. Our kids have been fighting us all day and it’s only 11am. Do not need to be told I sound awful. Trust me I’m not inviting you over bc I want company. I want to be left alone, but she needs to be told how all the things work bc her appliances are 40 years old and she can’t figure mine out in her own. /vent Happy Sunday ladies. I’m trying to figure out what will make my day feel better. So far I have an ice pack on my belly and back.

I agree with yianna - more babies please!! So many of you sound like it could be any time! Ugh I’m sleepy today. L did not have the best night - it took a bit to get him back down after our 3 am feeding and I was up for nearly 2 hours. That makes me especially grumpy. Not sure what the plan is for today. Might just be a chilling at home type of day.

Omg dizzycooks she sounds just like my MIL. I feel so badly about this (because my mil is seriously the nicest person) but I've been avoiding her for most of my pregnancy because I just cannot deal with the helplessness. Like I'm huge, a million months pregnant, my sciatic pain/heartburn/roids/etc are killing me, I'm working full time and my kid is driving me up a wall and I'm still somehow cooking dinner for you and my family. Can you please just TRY to figure out how to use the goddamn remote 😂

Today I am bouncing on a yoga ball, eating a bowl of pineapple, drinking raspberry leaf tea. At the same time. I'm pretty talented.
