I am officially 37 weeks so it is crunch time. Over the years I found it best for DH and I to work separately on projects. This way we can do it on our own time. So if he wants to sleep in and get it done at midnight as long as it is done I gave up caring. DD and I are working on the playroom today and the nursery. DH is doing the basement and garage. Divide and conquer.

I'm over it. DD came at 40w3d, and I am 40w2d today, I was told the second would come sooner! Reporting live from 40w6d. It is the worst.

When I went in at 40w 4d in active labor, after a false alarm two days before, they were assessing me and said they were pretty sure they were going to admit me. I told them they WERE going to admit me because I wasn't leaving until I had a baby. Good luck tomorrow!

My H is awesome. Since we came home from the hospital he's made me almost every meal, has changed more diapers than I have, has really stepped up in the toddler care since I can't, and has been pleasant about almost all of it. He just brought me a homemade latte. I'll keep him. ETA: after drinking most of the latte, I realized that the foam is in the shape of a heart. That’s awesome ! Way to go Mr Jessila ! I remember falling in love all over again with H when C was born and I get those feelings again this time. It is good to feel like we choose the right partner. Now if only my ILs who came specifically to help us where actually doing any shit 🙄

I was so hoping your silence meant you were snuggling sweet baby boy. The end has never been so close though. Thinking of you beersandweirs and lemons and sarah ! Come on babies 💙

Update: my contractions never led anywhere and I haven't had any today. I'm kind of glad in a way, since he would be late preterm right now. But damn boy, my ribs are not your play things!

You need to have upper privileges 😝 ha! No. I did have one of the anesthesiologists I work with jokingly offer to tape the epidural to my back so it’s ready to go in time. Unfortunately I’m just at the mercy of the number of people laboring tomorrow! It’s also a full moon so I don’t know if that helps or hurts 😬

I gave a like to you overdue ladies in sympathy. The days are long now but soon you’ll have baby snuggles!
My H is on leave Thursday when DD1 is at daycare. Already planning a lunch date destination. We haven’t had many opportunities for dates since she was born: milking it!

Sending all the baby thoughts for those of you overdue. I've heard the old wives'tale about babies being born on a full moon and tomorrow is a full moon. Hope it works for you all.
I feel like my baby is super gassy lately and I haven't really done anything different dietary-wise. I know garlic, broccoli are usually bad for my babies so I have been avoiding. My first had gas a lot for a few weeks until his muscles developed more, maybe this is the same thing. I just feel bad for the little guy when he is trying to get it out.

I hope it passes quickly because her little cries of pain are really pitiful. I've been avoiding broccoli, spicy stuff, and other typical gas inducing foods in hopes of helping.

I'm absolutely miserable tonight. I'm more itchy than I've been in weeks and the benadryl and shower I took barely helped. And then almost immediately after I got out of the shower I proceeded to vomit up all of my supper while sobbing about how miserable I am. Took another quick shower and I'm now laying in bed trying to ignore my itchiness. Hopefully the benadryl at least knocks me out :-(

lemons sarah, commiserating with you. 40+4 today. Going in for an appointment tomorrow and I'm going to cry if I'm not dilated any more than I was last Thursday. I've been having contractions sporadically all day. Induction is set for Thursday. Because I will be 41 weeks exactly it will also be a medical induction and not elective.

I’m sad. Breastfeeding is not working out. Again. I had a horrible go at it with all four of my kids. They end up losing more weight and for longer than the doctors like. So then I have to supplement. DS had to get his tongue tie clipped and it didn’t help. Now it seems he just prefers the bottle. I don’t want to give up but at this point it seems to be my only option.

onlymee I’m sorry. How frustrating. In the end, as you have seen with your others, formula is freekin awesome at nourishing our babies and all will be well, but I’m sorry for your disappointment. It’s so hard to make those decisions.
