I've been cramping all day and most of last night, I'm pretty sure she has dropped, I've got heartburn like whoah and don't feel like eating, and everything I do eat is going right through me.
I know you're ready kid, let's get this moving!

Pregnancy is really a worst case scenario for my love of wild speculation.

I know you're ready kid, let's get this moving! This is exactly how I feel too. Still don't think anything will happen soon though.

I can't stop doing/going today. I'm in complete nesting mode. So far I have done multiple loads of laundry, loaded the dishwasher, sterilized bottles and pump bottles, made grocery and Walmart lists, dh put together the double stroller. I just made myself sit down for a minute while dd naps. We are going shopping later. Plus I may make cookies tonight or if not in the near future thanks to this thread. It's a Halloween recipe I found on Pinterest.

I woke up very crampy today and my cramps shifted to contractions ranging from 10-15 minutes apart. This has been my whole day now but they're not gaining intensity or getting closer together, so who knows. I'm sitting on the couch sipping water now. If that doesn't help I might take my dog for a nice long walk and try to work them up instead of slow them down. So over your mixed signals, body!

Hellllllloooooo comfier nursing chair Spending money on an oversized, super cozy glider was definitely one of our best investments. I can't even begin to tell you how many nights I've slept in ours, fed, pumped, consoled a crying kiddo. DD likes to hang out in it too now. I'm looking forward to snuggling up in mine again!

We have a rocking chair, but it's just not that comfortable. I had an exhausted meltdown the other night during a clusterfeeding session and was like "and I HATE this chair! It hurts my butt!" So excited!!

I wish I had gotten a nicer one too with DS. It's Comfy for a bit, but I really wish I had gotten a bigger, softer one. And one that isn't beige. 🙄🙄 rookie move.

One that comes in multiple sections so if something grosses it up you can pull off just the one piece and wash.

I'm pissed. My mom made lunch and I asked her before we left if there were peanuts in anything so I could bring a lunch for ds3. She said no, no peanuts. She's making him a plate and I see biscuts and just to be safe I ask again "are you sure there's no peanuts in the biscuts?" She says "nope. I checked and it only said may contain peanuts"
....................... OMFG
She could have put my baby in anaphylactic shock. I'm so mad. It's not a fuckiing woopsie if he eats peanuts. I'm already angry because, you know, pregnancy, this does not help at all.
I'm ready to go home now.

Definitely swapped the pad for dark gray this time around.

Something about that generation (I’m assuming our parents are roughly the same age) doesn’t seem to take food allergies seriously or thinks we are just being dramatic. This is obviously a generalization, but I’ve had conversations with my parents/Hs parents and aunts that all seem to focus on “well in my day this wasn’t a problem blah blah blah”

So I was catching up motn on here last night and really struggling to stay awake. Looks like I pinned one of the cookie recipes and I barely even remember doing it. Sleepy LibraryLady looks out for Hungry LibraryLady apparently.

bethers right there with you on the wanting to eat every hour business. On the one hand I'm glad she is waking up enough that we don't have to wake her anymore, but on the other hand...sleeeeepy.

Said she forgot 😒 thank god H and I are very untrusting of our parents and triple check everything. My mom is a nurse though. You'd think she would know better. It terrifies me because there is only 1 weekend where our nanny can't watch the boys if I go into labor (1st weekend of Nov) and my mom is on call to take over. I really really pray I don't go into labor that weekend.

bethers and librarylady we can start a motn thread. I routinely nod off while feeding DS2. It's bad ... between just being tired in general plus oxytocin released from BFing.

quinn hopefully this episode will get your mom to pay closer attention. DD doesn’t even have any food allergies and I had to have a 20 minutes conversation with my MIL about why DD couldn’t bring her peanut butter cookies to school. Umm...it’s so one of her classmates doesn’t have a near death experience. It’s not up for debate.

I'm currently getting my "You made it to 36 weeks!" pedicure. It has been...a long time since my last one and I'm pretty sure this lady is judging the shit out of me. Whatever lady. With DS1 it was a few days after my pedicure that he decided to come. I would be ok with this kid coming whenever but ideally I would make it through a few more days. And not in the middle of the night, pretty please. I thought he had dropped but today he seems high again. Way to be confusing baby. AnnPerkins, I'm thinking we'll see your little girl before tomorrow!

cnf,that cake sounds amazing, I'm going to try it. Ooh AnnPerkins, wild speculation is so fun though! paperbagliz, OMG,so adorable! My baby is super low, there were some things I couldn't do in prenatal yoga today because it felt like I was crushing her head, lol. But also, OMG, how often can she hiccup? It's driving me crazy, it's as annoying as having the hiccups myself. It's like three times a day usually. And p.s. I love the Pixel phone! New phone success, yay!
