lovealwaysalison, maybe suggest a different weekend for him to go? Like next weekend? Or next April.

My RCS time is set in stone now but if I go into labor before, I'm allowed to try for a VBAC. My OB also said that if I'm able (aka not shaking and puking like last time) that they'll let us do skin to skin as much as possible. When she was trying to get her heartbeat with the doppler it took a good 3 or 4 minutes because L wouldn't stop moving. We could see limbs poking out in multiple directions but she was so wiggly.

jessila I suggested the following weekend because it's my Sprinkle so he should have a guys thing while I have my girls thing. But his friends already had these plans.

I took DS to Ihop for breakfast before coming into work. He is super pumped about having a mommy/son day. I've been able to get a bit of work done so far today, too.

apk4 oh I'm past annoyed. I've been up since 3am with this stupid headache and he left for work without continuing our conversation about this situation. Happy freaking Friday.

I hit the 35/35 milestone today! The end is in sight (but not close enough).
H and I are also on spring break until 4/9! I'm very much looking forward to resting and relaxing a bit more next week and spending some quality time with V before the baby comes.

My RCS is on the books for 5/1 at 11:30AM, aka 32 days away! I could go into labor prior to then, which I'm torn on wanting to happen. I'm miserable & very much so in 2+ weeks, but I also have a hair/eyebrow appointment on 4/27, H requested a matinee date to see Infinity War that weekend as a last hoorah and I have mani/pedi planned for 4/30, so her staying put would be nice.

My bump is so lopsided. Baby girl is perpetually curled on my left side so it always looks so strange.
Weather is supposed to be decent tomorrow so yay for not having to postpone maternity/family pictures again!

It's so overcast and rainy here and it's been that way all day. Just makes me want to curl up and take a nap, even though there's literally no reason for me to be tired otherwise

Well, as a follow up to my post last night...I did end up playing the "mean wife" card and flat out told H I was not ok with him going camping on Easter weekend when Ella has been so excited and we are hosting. He didn't go. Which is progress. 3 years ago and he probably would've still went, my opinion be damned. But he's currently pouting on the couch and not speaking to me so...😑. Here's hoping he gets the pouting out tonight and our whole weekend isn't full of a crappy attitude.
Also, apparently my suggestion of taking a day trip next weekend for guy time while I'm at my sprinkle is "pointless" and "soooo not the same". Is he 30 or 14? When those words came out I totally felt like saying "did you freaky Friday yourself with a teenage boy!?!" But I bit my tongue.
I swear he's not usually a jerk like this. Maybe it's the full moon???

robot My bump is also lopsided and it's super uncomfortable. The day he feels so inclined as to vacate the right side of my ribs will be the best day.

lovealwaysalison Freaky Friday. That’s the best. I totally get where you’re coming from, you’re not being a bitch. Dads are parents just as much as mums.

We live in an apartment in a 4 plex. It's not a terrible place, great location, and rent is pretty cheap for my city. But my neighbors are idiots and since my old landlord passed away his brother took over and has no idea how to be a landlord (didn't mow the lawn since July, been no snow removal this winter at all). My girlfriends keep telling me that we need to move, but yeah, try finding some place where you can have a cat, a dog, AND a baby, and not pay out the nose for it.

armpants I avoided him today and got all my Easter errands done. Tonight he's totally normal and had fun dying eggs with the toddler so... I'm happy. And also exhausted. Five different stores and cleaned half the house. I still need to put the Easter basket together but I laid down for "just a sec" and have now become one with the couch. Rookie mistake. I don't think I have the energy left to hoist my pregnant self back up.

BORED. A little jealous. Does bored mean alone time? Not much of that for me lately. Commiserations though, I was supposed to have a play date with some good friends from my mums group today for the first time in months and DD wakes up with a gross head cold so we can’t go.

I woke up at 3am with the worst sore throat that had me wondering if I was going to end up at urgent care for a strep test. It still hurts but I took a bunch of Tylenol and guzzled tea all day and I managed to rally to get so much stuff done for the baby with my friend. We are done with three quarters of my to do list, including 4 huge loads of laundry, organizing all of DD’s old shoes and summer clothes, scrubbing the changing table and baby bath tub, and washing all the bottles and parts. So tired and my hips hurt. Now we’re waiting on Thai food to arrive.

My husband is the worst prankster, and I was really hoping that he'd forgotten about April Fools this year. No such luck.
A little while ago I used the upstairs bathroom, and he had taped macaroni to the underside of the seat so that it cracked when I sat on it. I just got on my computer and he had added an extension that replaced every picture on every webpage with a random Nic Cage picture. We had a good laugh about both (especially the second one), but I'm hoping there are no more surprises in store for me.

I think I’m starting to freak out and stress a little about this baby coming. I feel like i still have so much to do. DH is the laziest person on the planet and doesn’t pitch in but if I ask I’m the nagging wife. He is just oblivious to all the things i do on a daily basis plus all the stuff that i need to get done before baby is here. DS is being such a handful lately. I’m mentally and physically exhausted. Still no name. I am starting to feel guilty about another baby and not giving DS as much attention. How I’m going to manage a household, a newborn and a toddler especially because I’m one of those people that feels like I have to do everything.
Sorry just rambling and overwhelmed.

How I’m going to manage a household, a newborn and a toddler especially because I’m one of those people that feels like I have to do everything. Sorry just rambling and overwhelmed. This is me almost exactly now that I'm about a month out from my due date, so I can totally commiserate. I'm so ready to be done with the pregnancy and move past the anticipation of the baby's arrival, but I've been up for a while most nights recently stressing about what that's going to look like. V has been SUPER clingy with me recently (he's always preferred me, but it's been excessive lately), and H takes it personally and won't even try to intervene or help because "he doesn't want me, he wants you". I'm just overwhelmed with the idea of a needy baby and a clingy toddler and H throwing up his hands and not doing what I need him to. I also always have the financial stress in the back of my mind constantly, and I'm just hoping that I can get through the newborn period with just the tiniest bit of my sanity intact. Hopefully things will work out better than either of us are fearing.

Interestingly enough, 2 girls who I went to high school with (we hung out with the same group) are both pregnant with their firsts, both having boys, and both also due this summer. Craziness!

budders LT for solidarity. I had a good ugly cry in the shower just now. I’m sure it won’t be as bad as I’ve worked it up in my head and we will manage just fine.

robot, I had a cold like that a couple weeks ago. Ice cream helped my sore throat 😉 I also ended up having to take cough syrup at night because the sore throat made me cough a lot. I hope you feel better soon.
