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. Well that sounds impressive!

DS1’s birthday party is next Saturday and I had a complete moment of panic that I hadn’t done anything for it yet. So that’s what I’ve spent my weekend doing.
March is officially going to be expensive AF for the rest of my life.

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! Yeah I said no. Hard pass to last minute holiday changes. Also, if I end up having a csection, we’ll do it right around then and I don’t want the extra stress of guests. MIL asked to come up this week instead but I’m having a version and, again, DNW to deal with the stress of guests.

I am so sleepy today and basically have been napping all day. I feel useless but I guess my body needs this rest.

My mom brought klondike bars home. She offered and I declined at first because I said I'm trying to avoid having a 10 pound baby. SO chimed in and was like "really, are you?" Apparently not hard enough. It was delicious.

Apparently not hard enough. It was delicious. Ha you sound like me. Also I have to tell y'all how judgy my mom is being. Mom: "[your sister] was such a big baby because I didn't know anything about how to eat. Then your brothers were smaller because I'd learned by then". Woman has no idea how judgy she's being. I had a 9# baby, but I only saw her once at the beginning of pregnancy so she has no idea how I ate. Good thing I'm long past caring what she thinks of me. ETA: also (unless you have GD?) I'm pretty sure how you eat doesn't have anything to do with the size of your baby, just how much weight you gain. My SIL says it has more to do with the size of their cord. I'll have to research more for next time lol.

I'm very petite.

I think grocery shopping with my h is number one on my least favorite things to do right now. I'm nauseous and now we're fighting. He had a physical done at work a couple of weeks ago and found out that his cholesterol is a little high. He goes completely overboard and decided to eat nothing but turkey sandwiches last week because he thought that would be healthier for him. I told him that you can't just eat nothing but turkey sandwiches because they don't have all the vitamins and stuff you need. I also told him he needs to go to the dr and possibly a dietician. Everything that I tried to get at the grocery store he would tell me I can't eat that. Now he's mad at me because apparently I'm not supportive of his health. 🙄 I'm over today...I think I might go take a nap and see if things are better when I wake up.

Sorry every cant live off of turkey sandwaiches 🙄 lol, or a box of oatmeal The best part was he dr googled and found that turkey had cholesterol, so if he's trying to cut it all out he wasn't doing a good job. I've been telling him to maybe try portion controlling meat and try eating veggies and stuff that are supposed to help lower it. But I guess my getting annoyed at him and telling him he was acting as crazy as his mom is being unsupportive.

Apparently I'm in "spruce things up" mode in anticipation of the approaching up-close-and-personal look that doctors and nurses will be having at me from the waist-down. I can't squeeze a full-blown pedicure in this weekend, so I somehow managed to paint my toenails. And I managed to work around this giant belly to shave allll of my legs instead of just from the knee down 😂 And neatened things up elsewhere down there, too.
Of course the gymnastics required for all of that means I'm huffing and puffing like I just ran a marathon. But at least I feel a little more put together?

katietopaz haha I did that gymnastics routine yesterday to shave my legs and put lotion on after lol. It’s really hard!!! We are sitting at a play place and DS is happily eating a small bowl of fries while I drink coffee. It’s 10am on a Monday and there is no one here and it’s just been cleaned. Perfect!

I just ordered a bunch more baby clothes I don't need. Baby needs to come before I go broke shopping because I'm bored.

Ugh. I’m getting the “I miss being pregnant” sadness. I remember this with DS1 too. I know it will pass and I’ll eventually appreciate having no Ute occupants but ... if I was richer and younger I’d have so many more babies.

Stand your ground Update: “She wants to know if she can come next week then?” ...am I insane and/or a bitch about this? I do not understand the sudden urgency. We have a to-do list a mile long and I am extremely stressed out. I hate that I’m the one having to say no. I’m going to go talk to some Girl Scout cookies about this.

Stop asking, you'll let her know. I am definitely annoyed at her sudden need to make this visit happen right now, too.

Those cookies would tell you that you are in no way being crazy or a bitch. She sounds pushy and on her own agenda.

Dd was playing in the front room and I peak over at her and she had a diaper and was changing her babydoll on the changing table part of the pack n play. It was the sweetest thing.
Every day she tells me it's time to go to the hospital. And gets upset when I tell her it's not.

Team you are not being a bitch Leaf 🌱. She is being inconsiderate for wanting to plan a trip this close to baby.

Like, do women just forget how much the last month a pregnancy sucks balls? Why would MIL even think of it? I’m so annoyed for you Leaf 🌱. It’s bad enough everyone shows up on your door step after you’ve evacuated the baby. Give me some damn peace before!

I'm a bit annoyed at your DH for not putting his foot down with her, too. Maybe level with him, too.

Thanks everyone. Sorry to beat a dead horse on that one but she eats crazy crackers for me so I always always need some one else to confirm I’m not just being difficult. Because - to be fair - sometimes I definitely can be. leatherpants that’s literally exactly what the cookies said. Why are they so good?! katietopaz I think I was saying “the timing is bad” vs “i don’t want visitors” so part of it is on me. I was v v clear this time 😂 ArielMermaid We’re super different - she probably thinks pampering/attention is the best way to help. (She also offered to stay with us for a month after DD and was shocked when I declined.) I’m trying to give her the benefit of the doubt and be appreciative while also nicely saying no. I become extra snarky and mean when stressed/scared/in pain so it’s best for me to be left alone. I just want to stress scrub my toilet while listening to My Favorite Murder. This has also led me to rant (to myself in the shower) about how the whole birth process/post partum period has shifted so far away from maternal care to only baby care. No nurseries in hospitals, no real recovery time, no US maternity leave, no respect for the fact that you either just pushed a watermelon out of your vagina or had major surgery. You’d better be a good hostess the second that baby pops out because everyone wants to visit IMMEDIATELY and then also be bikini ready in six weeks.

Completely a sympathy lovetit. Especially whenever I stop and sit or lay down, I feel like I'm huffing away trying to catch my breath. DH had been giving me funny looks and asking if I was okay, but I think my death glare got the message across because he doesn't anymore.
