I am officially free from work until Mid-August! I stopped at the bank and while I was inside some idiot parked too close to my car for me to fit with my belly. I had to get in the passenger side, climb over the center console, got stuck because the seat was too close to the steering wheel and then I finally made it. The toddler was laughing at me the whole time. It was probably quite the sight for anyone passing by, too. 😂 robot my feet have totally reached Shrek level swelling today. This happened last time too and then I got diagnosed with pre-e shortly after. Hoping this swelling is not related to that this time. Sorry, I grinned at this. I would’ve been 196 kinds of furious at the time if it were me, though.

lily oh I was pissed! haha but then my toddlerbnblaughing got the best of me and I photo documented the whole process to make myself laugh. Except now I'm mad all over again because I definitely tweaked my pelvis and back with the aerobics.

Did anyone else see you, lovealwaysalison? It probably wasn't so fun at the moment but it is pretty funny to imagine. Another Saturday at the library for me. It is surpringly more relaxing to be at work than at home with the two kids. The big brother learned to ride his bike and we have been taking walks because he is obsessed with it. At least I can be at a desk while at the library, even if that has its own set of aches. I hope I get to hear about some babies coming this weekend! I know some of you are real close, let me know if any of the food ideas worked!

oreobitsy oh I'm sure lots of people saw. I was parked in a spot next to the busy road during commute. And the bank was full of people and shares a parking lot with a grocery store. Haha

I know some of you are real close, let me know if any of the food ideas worked! None of the foods have worked for me. Walking is actually doing the most, I was contracting pretty intensely every 5-10 minutes this morning for about 45 minutes while I was on the move, but they settled once I slowed down.

lemons, I thought of you when I out the auto RnP together because it is sorcery. When folded, it fits next to my dresser and takes up so little space. I've been eating fresh pineapple and had sex last night. H accused me of using him but he seemed to enjoy it. I have 11 days left until my RCS/induction but wouldn't mind going earlier.

Did a 45 minute ride on the Peloton and then ended up walking 3+ miles at a food festival. Everything hurts but my belly is full and happy.

sarahHow far along are you? My baby was breech at 35 weeks but I also had too much extra fluid. She had flipped by time I had my 36 week ultrasound.

Mine will be here thursday!! I may need someone to post pics for me though. I need a step by step guide every time. 😂 MH has work today and then it’s his weekend and work Tuesday, Wednesday and then he’s off for two weeks. I cannot wait, I’m so done being pregnant right now. But also, I feel like I need to soak it up because it’s the last time I’ll ever be pregnant!

This is really random and probably pretty obvious, but it was life changing for me. Two weeks post delivery, I’m still using my peri bottle—————to wet down the toilet paper before wiping after a bowel movement. Safe to flush, I feel cleaner, doesn’t irritate my stitches and hemorrhoids, AND doesn’t use up all my tucks pads.

I use it like a bidet.

Went to see Avengers tonight. Man am I shook by that ending!! I really wish I could have reclined more though, I never realized how much those seats make you sit up straight until I had a baby in my ribs lol. And every time there was a loud boom (so, a lot) he would kick me. Hopefully he wore himself out and I can sleep okay tonight!

We went last weekend and I guess we didn’t get there early enough because I was in like the 2nd row. And omg it was so uncomfortable. Straight seats plus my back already kills me. It sucked!

We’re taking DD to the train museum for a special ride on Thomas thing tomorrow. I might die with all the walking and I’m pretty sure I no longer have a pair of sneakers I could possibly shove my gigantic feet into.

2 AM hiccups can fuck right off. She was asleep, damn it. 2 hours later and she is finally back asleep. Let’s hope I’m next.

We went to the super duper ultraAVX showing, which has assigned seating. We always buy our tickets the day before if it's a popular movie, so we were in the back almost center, but damn was it uncomfortable. I think I may request of H to sit on the aisle when we go see Deadpool, that way I can get up and stretch if I need, and I won't have to fight my way out of the row to go to the bathroom.

I was feeling off yesterday and though for sure that I’d get sent in to L&D because my dr doesn’t want me to stay home and labor since she wants me to have a c-section and there is risk of a rupture. I had a headache, nausea, less movement, BH every 8 min or so, etc... but the dr on call said to take Tylenol, hydrate and relax (I’d had about 60 oz of cold water by the time we spoke). In any event, at least I got a good night’s sleep (well, as good as it’s going to get), and the BH didn’t get painful and the kid is moving around. No swelling but I’m getting a slight headache again. Maybe I’ll drink a little caffeine to see if that helps. Being in symptom limbo is so frustrating. We don’t have family coming up until Wednesday so it’s also hard to plan what to do with DS if something happens MOTN.

Oh and it didn’t help that one of those traumatic labor story YouTube videos popped up on recommendations (which of course I watched and cried over)

I got mine the day that I got cleared after my CS with DS. It’s been fabulous. We will have to connect with LB names I can’t wait to get back on.

kiri I know how you feel. I have been having symptoms that feel like labor is coming soonish and then nothing. The childcare element makes it a little tricky because I don't want the boys to freak out if I left suddenly in the middle of the night. I wish there was a more clear sign that labor is coming the next day.

A few friends and neighbors have offered to help, but I can’t exactly call someone MOTN or drop off DS somewhere to sleep since he’s not familiar with their homes. If I go early, I’ll probably have my CS alone. Not ideal.
