@amc Yayyy! I’m so excited for you! FX for a smooth induction and delivery. hrh I’m thinking she wanted to check me because of my irritable uterus as well. So many contractions alllll the time. I’m just surprised it’s a weekly thing now and the nurse made it sound like 35 weeks is when cervical checks normally start 🤷🏼♀️ Definitely wasn’t the norm 3 years ago when I was pregnant with DD (same practice) but they could have made changes since then. k I’d be so upset to be sick that close to baby time 😣 hang in there! Hope you all are feeling better soon!

It is 4am. DS2 won't stay asleep in his own bed for some reason so we've been up 3 or 4 times. He also snores worse than H and H has sleep apnea so I'm double not getting any sleep tonight. My house feels hot so I keep throwing the covers off but when my legs cool down, it makes the RLS kick in so that's awesome. Might just call it and try to nap later this morning. Ugh. I hate insomnia. I had it like this with DS1, too, except I had way fewer responsibilities back then.

I hate insomnia. I had it like this with DS1, too, except I had way fewer responsibilities back then. The insomnia really is awful. Body temp issues are a huge culprit for me and MH’s snoring has really ramped things up as well. The only reason I’m getting any sleep right now is that he’s exiled to the office guest bed since I’m cosleeping with LO. I hope you get a great nap in today!

thelittleredm I’ve never had insomnia until now either. I don’t remember even having it when I was KU with DD. I feel your pain and hope you’re able to get a good nap in today.

cch, That's where my H has been exiled to for the last few months! Lol But I caved and joined him because DS2 was worse and I figured if I tried moving him again, I'd be back at square one. Managed to get some broken sleep but I'll take it.

This chest cold blows. I can’t breathe deeply without coughing and peeing my pants. I’m over it. I wish there was something that I could take, but it seems viral so I have to wait it out. Ugh.

Ugh I’m sorry. I’m not at that level but a few weeks ago when we all had terrible coughs it was not fun and nothing helped 😕. I’m just feeling lethargic and blah. I have thought maybe I’ll sneeze the baby out. Trying to rest and conserve energy but I also need to clean my house. DH is upstairs building the crib, ha. We love to procrastinate.

LOL.

Tried on and practiced adjusting the baby Bjorn one carrier (for DH) and the infantino 4 in 1 carrier (for me). Practiced with the sock monkey toy we got for baby (same one DH had as a kid).
DH also did all the baby laundry. Now to refold and reorganize...DH is so understanding, he was like, i know you're going to be refolding those tiny things dozens of times and I can see why you've been avoiding starting the process lol.

MH bought me the infantino one for Christmas! I’ve never had an out facing one but I love my Ergo and Solly.

Thanks for the thoughts, ladies! I still haven't gotten called in for my induction yet. When I called this morning for an estimate, the charge nurse said probably sometime this afternoon, and to just go about my day "as normal" until she calls me in. MH and I are about to head out for lunch, a casual last-minute date before baby! Ahh the suspense!

cch Sounds like you’re making great progress!! I had my first cervical check last week at 35w. I was a little surprised that they were starting so early, but I also kind of like to know what’s happening. @amc Ahhhh so exciting!! Good luck today and enjoy your day date! notagoddess That is so miserable. I hope you feel better soon! I was in the same cough/pee/repeat boat with pneumonia last fall. It was...a humbling experience. We had the snow and ice last night. It went from pouring down rain to snowing pretty quick. Now the wind chill is -1 and yesterday’s rain is a sheet of ice. Needless to say, we’re staying home today. DS is napping, so I’m going to take a long shower and attempt to do a final pre-baby ladyscape and paint my toenails. I’m not feeling too optimistic about either of these activities. 😂

I have been avoiding dealing with toes and lady parts the last few weeks but know it's only going to get harder. DH has helped with a spot check but I can't imagine entrusting the whole shebang to him...

notagoddess feel better! I have a cold too and it sucks ugh I seemed to have stopped snotting but now I’m coughing and just generally feeling even more tired and blah than I was just being regular about to pop pregnant CharlieB you are ambitious! I tried to shave my legs this morning. I got one done and then decided I was just too tired and uncomfortable for the other one! I’m feeling a pedicure before baby comes I just don’t think I can reach. MH offered to try for me but I’m not sure how that would go lol I won’t tell you guys about the weather in Florida today but I’ll send you all some warmth and sunshine!

Well, didn't get the kids room painted today like planned but I did make it down to the hospital to pre-register and I got a nap in so I'm going to call it a win. Painting is on the to-do list for tomorrow, though.

Ahhhh! @amc so exciting, but but suspense must be killing you! Hope things get moving soon!
I had an appt Friday with an OB vs midwife in my group like I usually do. I was annoyed for so many reasons- 45 minutes late, she didn’t give me the usual numbers (fundal measurement and baby’s HR) was dismissive about my anxiety re: the snow/ice storm/full moon/exact same gestational timeline as DD... she did check my cervix, which I also wasn’t expecting 1 cm dilated and 75% effaced.

Posting from L&D! I was finally told to come in around 7:00pm. Labs have been drawn, IV placed, consent forms signed, baby is still head down, and looks like we're getting this party started at 1-1.5cm, 30%. Foley balloon is in, and likely doing cytotec in a bit. Hopefully baby will be here tomorrow sometime! Yay!! Thinking of you and sending smooth and easy labor vibes!
